Well that's quite interesting.  Perhaps that explains why the people
who are privately most ON THE PROGRAM, as you would have it, are
having the greatest of unfolding.  The ones who looked at this all and
scoffed are sitting around with me and others who have places off
campus and we're all in joy and glory and things are just unfolding
minute by minute and we're having cocoa and A&W cheese chili dogs and
bacon and egg suppers.  New very lucrative opportunities back on our
home planets are tracking us down to deliver contracts to sign. We're
thinking of getting our own printer and fax things are coming at us so
fast.

Meanwhile the thousand heads are reading experiences which are boring
recaps of the previous broadcasts or tapes from Maharishi and those of
us in joy are all saying "Heart? heart?  I don't I detect any heart
here.  This doesn't ring in me as an authentic experience." 
Meanwhile, we're prancing around together in 200% ^^ 2.

And the citizens who are more Catholic than the Pope, so to speak, are
suffering greatly so we try to lose them as fast as possible and go
our way and bounce with joy (out of eyesight of the spies).

Lonely?  How can you be lonely with all this joy and richness is
gushing out of firehoses?

Fotunately, Maharishi gave us his "we are satisfied" answer in 
response to a question during a press conference several years ago in 
which the questioner asking him whether it was okay that he had 
learned TM from a non-TMO TM teacher.

Maharishi's answer? "We are satisfied"...there was a wee bit more to 
it than that but that was the crux of it.  Perhaps some enterprising 
TM teacher will multiply himself and offer an inexpensive TM taught 
in line with the purity of the teaching to millions across the world.

I'll be satisfied if that would happen...will you?

I don't think so, Shemp.  "To paraphrase" means to restate the same thing in 
different words or a different form--it works on the principle that meaning is 
that which can always be said some other way.  But this is not what happened.  
There is a huge difference between a republic and theocracy.

BECAUSE IT FUCKING DOESN'T WORK, THAT'S WHY.

How many MORE years of cult-run TMO do you want?  We've had 30 
years...would ANOTHER 30 years make you happy?

The failure of the TMO since the success -- the INCREDIBLE success -- 
of the 1970s is the story of: IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT.

Yes, he had an agenda but, no, it wasn't hidden.  He told us quite 
explicitly what he was doing by packaging TM as a non-denominational, 
non-belief, non-religious program.

And, no, I truly believe it wasn't a case of him thinking: TM is part 
of the Hindu religion and, therefore, I have to disguise it in order 
for the suckers of the West to buy into it.  To him, TM was very much 
a universal thing that was separate and apart from his own personal 
Hinduism and could, on its own, stand apart from the trappings of 
religion.  And it was with that very worldview that he packaged TM 
and, successfully, brought it into the world.

And that's how things were progressing until about 1977-9 when things 
started falling apart, largely from his own doing.  And I refer to an 
abandonment of the above described universal non-religious approach.

I don't know who was explaining all this to you or whether it was 
done in some official capacity.  But I can tell you what I was taught 
as both a meditator who learned TM from the 7-step program and as a 
teacher in Teacher Training and that was that the TM Program was (1) 
not a religion; (2) not a philosophy or belief; and (3) the 
organisation taking on the responsibility of disseminating this 
knowledge would itself embody those very principles (because to do 
otherwise would be to stop being universal and therefore alienate 
some potential practitioners of TM).

As religions go, I would probably be the first in line to sign up.

But once it is a religion, you lose the potential to get 99% of the 
people on the planet to sign up.  That's not being universal.

Hey, I'd love to have a guru and sit cross-legged on the Ganges at 
the feet of a master and get darshan and all that.  Must be a 
wonderful path!

But that's not the path I chose for myself; I actually bought into 
the whole TM 20 minutes twice a day and then go into activity and, 
according to one's own religion and values and traditions and common 
sense, perform action.  I truly, honestly believe that to be THE 
highest and fastest and most effective path to enlightenment.  And

The recent assignment of the domestic U.S. Rajas to foreign countries has
set the stage 
for a new face of the TMO in the U.S. Although Hagelin has relied on
financial donations 
from the Rajas in the past, the futility of the TMO's profile of Rajas
representing the TMO 
will prevent the TMO from regaining relevancy. Hagelin is assembling a
national team of 
non-Raja leaders to run the TMO in the U.S. As the Rajas are beginning their
foreign 
assignments (to be administered from Vlodrop - what is this, day
60-something of an 
indefinite period of the gathering of Rajas there ?), the stage is set for a
fresh face of the 
TMO in the U.S.

With the Latin American TMO growing rapidly, MUM will likely see a huge
increase in 
enrollment from those countries. Supposedly, someone has already agreed to
finance a 
large MUM expansion. With a much larger MUM student body, and a Raja-less
face of 
the TMO in the U.S., Hagelin might lead the TMO in the U.S. in the direction
of relevancy. 
Hagelin probably negotiated the above conditions before agreeing to wear the
Raja 
uniform in Vlodrop. Hopefully, he will never wear it in the U.S., lest he
risk losing the 
opportunity for a new face of the TMO.

For this scenario to play out, all references to and photos of rajas would
have to be removed from all TMO websites. As it is now, it won’t take long
for a school administrator or prospective meditator or MUM student to do a
little Internet research and come up with some pretty weird stuff.

I'm all for poetic license and I agree that great artists steal and may modify 
the stolen item any way they like as per that same license.  But you were 
passing this off as a factual statement in support of something.  That's a 
little different, don't you think?  
By the way, the court house is prolly the least likely place to issue poetic 
licenses; moreover, that kind of license is taken, not purchased.

Here is what the IRS says about what can be a tax exempt organization:

 

"The exempt purposes set forth in section 501(c)(3) are charitable,
religious, educational, scientific, literary, testing for public
safety, fostering national or international amateur sports
competition, and preventing cruelty to children or animals.  The term
charitable is used in its generally accepted legal sense and includes
relief of the poor, the distressed, or the underprivileged;
advancement of religion; advancement of education or science; erecting
or maintaining public buildings, monuments, or works; lessening the
burdens of government; lessening neighborhood tensions; eliminating
prejudice and discrimination; defending human and civil rights secured
by law; and combating community deterioration and juvenile delinquency."

It's only 11 days since Maharishi gave up control of and management 
of the TMO and the clowns -- I mean the Rajas -- that have taken over 
have, as Curtis has indicated, already gone the extra mile to 
solidify the "religious" nature of the Movement.

This supports the theory that I have presented on this forum from 
time to time: that Maharishi abandoned the "TM is not a religion or 
philosophy" tenet of the TM Program because he was badgered to do so 
by the sycophants that have surrounded him for the past 35 years. And 
now those very sychophants have become the gate-keepers. 

They wore the poor man down by continually demanding that he give 
them the "real" knowledge despite his continual admonitions that the 
TM technique was the full and complete program. Well, Maharishi may 
be enlightened but he is only human.  And at some point he threw his 
hands up and said: "Okay, if you want 'the real knowledge' I guess 
that's what I have to GIVE you." So now we've got THIS catastrophy on
