I missed the meeting but the TM Center in Tucson held a pot luck dinner a couple
of weeks ago with guests (new tmers) from an American Indian tribe who were
learning TM under the auspices of the David Lynch FOundation and they
discussed upcoming research on TM and diabetics, a big problem in certain 
tribes...

My problem with Maharishi's statement about pundit genetics is that
for someone who had a science degree, he certainly played fast and
loose with science constructs.  We've finding that there is very
little difference, genetically, between a human being and a chicken.
A couple genes between a chicken and a dinosaur.   So to say that
pundits have special genetics that enable them to chant the way they
do is really pushing it.  Everybody wants to say that this or that is
in their genes.  And we're finding it ain't so.  Like for example the
big fat wave that's gone on around the world is not a result of fat
genes per say but the result of the environment our grandparents'
genes experienced:  the epigenetics.  What's wrong with just saying
that this has been in the family for generations?  You learn best
growing up in the environment.

Maharishi's statements about being born into your dharma/karma?  Well,
carried to the logical conclusion there's no more we can do in the
world.  The poor will always be with us, birth defects are tough luck.
 I had a MD friend who tried to convince me that her chart said she'd
always poor.  I was convinced that she grew up in a redneck family and
carried their redneck ways into the world.  So I guess I don't have a
problem with Maharishi's statements, but I do have a problem when
carried to the point of fatalism.

Actually, there were quite a few campaigns during the Merv wave to
bring TM to the black communities.  Just didn't work out.

As far as Native Americans (let's not count Alaskans, for the time
being), well have you ever been to a reservation?  I've been to many.
There are some which are doing quite well.  A few of them train the
iron workers.  Without these Native Americans we wouldn't have the
American skylines or many of our amazing bridges.  The rest of them
have dreadful amounts of poverty, alcoholism, drug abuse, glue
sniffing (the Four Corners of the US actually outlawed the sale of
even things like hairspray to Native Americans about 15 years ago) and
crime.  It's really a shame to see it or read the accounts in the
papers if you live within, say, 100 miles or less of a major
reservation area.  There are some pretty demoralizing stories in the
Denver Post, for example.

Am I kidding you about what Maharishi said?  Absolutely not.  He went
through about 6 tapes that I remember (and I saw them enough to be
able to recite them, still) that there are no accidents and there are
no innocent victims, that people are born to fulfill their dharma and
karma.  I'm not kidding you one bit.  There are an amazing number of
people in the TMO who will tell you with total faith that there is
something special in the DNA of the pundits which allow them to do
their special thing with vibrations and creation.  The TMO was taking
great pains to assemble brahmin boys from each of the families from
around India and pointed that out numerous times.  Maharishi felt that
each family represented something unique and all of them should be
represented in the groups of pundits.

About the blacks? I am not kidding you.  I could easily rattle off the
names of the initiators and later governors who spoke about blacks
that way.  It was often the topic of lunch or dinner conversation on
residence courses.  The question would arise "where are the blacks?"
or "why aren't there any blacks involved in TM?".  It's a very
righteous question to ask but people like Peter immediately want to
turn that question into a racist one.  It's a relevant question even
to this day.  Why, except for the foreign students on campus at MUM
are their very few blacks in TM in the US?  Why are there just a
couple in the domes?  Valid question.  A question that was answered by
a number of initiators and governors the way I've already stated.  Was
the response racist?  Yes, of course.  But the question goes
unanswered.  I'll ask it right now.  If TM is so good, then why did
campaigns in the black community fail?  Where the blacks not
interested or were they not approached properly?  Is it racist to say
that the black community needs to be approached a certain way to be
enticed into starting TM?

Now do I agree with Maharishi?  I don't think we should have a caste
system or say that women are born to full this purpose, men are
fulfilled to fulfill that purpose.  The next logical thing is that
this man was born blind, this woman was born lame and we do nothing
about it because, well, it's their karma/dharma.   It gets to be
fatalistic.  OTOH Maharishi's explanation as to why a whole planeful
of people crash together does make sense.  Do I think that the
particular DNA of the pundits matters?  No, I don't.  But maybe when I
get to Maharishi's level I'll perceive that it matters clearly.

2009-02-05 Thread enlightened_dawn11
it depends on the perspective you are viewing stuff from. i remember 
once going through some tough times (layoff, etc.), and no doubt it 
felt awful, and yet through the whole experience from a standpoint 
of eternal dharma, i knew i was getting/learning/experiencing just 
what the atman wanted to learn, or more accurately, bring out into 
the world. nonetheless, it still sucked as a personal experience, so 
i wasn't moodmaking about it, but there was this unmistakable sense 
that everything was working out just as it was meant to.

it isn't something that i would ever try to bring up unless you 
hadn't touched on it first, because it is so common to confuse 
personal experience with eternal dharma, and to see the latter as BS 
justification. 

this vibratory world is a dense medium for learning-- really 
optimal, but it means that when stuff goes wrong, it hurts, no 
question. and yet, with direct experience of the atman, with its 
intelligence and experiential comprehension, there are no mistakes.

Thanks for placing your comments in the middle of 4-5 other people's
replies, so trying to figure out where to snip was a major chore.

You just aren't getting Maharishi's contention that the workings of
the Universe are just.  Maharishi has explained to us how a planeload
full of people going down in a crash are meant to be on the plane and
there are no accidents, there are no innocent victims.

There's also no discrimination, if we look at the world that way.  Not
between genders, people of different sexual orientations, tall, short,
fair skinned, dark skinned.  You're born into the right family.  After
all, Maharishi asserted that the Brahmin pundits have something
special in their DNA which makes it possible for them alone to enliven
the Vedas.  I heard enough rumors from TM teachers in the early days
about blacks and their very limited participation in learning and
staying with TM as an indication that they are the sons of Cain.  I
heard this talk from much too many initiators to not believe that
Maharishi had mentioned this sort of thing on a course.  What's
interesting is that the initiators didn't think this belief odd at
all.  It was all part of the cosmic plan as described by Maharishi.

The present caste system is an abomination of the varna system.  The 
caste system is a justification for discrimination.  On the other 
hane, the varna system recognizes the natural talent of the people to 
contribute work for the betterment and prosperity of society.

the caste system is simply an ideal organization to uphold eternal 
dharma. it was never meant to be enforced and perverted as a means 
of enslavement and domination in the way that it is today.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Significance Global Country of World Peace---"Cast System"

In regards to the "system" spoken of and which Maharishi 
supported totaly, and is mentioned below, the King and the 

the fourfold division of labor:  brahmin, kshatriya, vaisya, and 
sudra.

Now this system which has been outlawed in India for good 
reason,  the foutfold system of labor, the cast system has been 
cruely used by the upper casts to vertualy inslave millions and 
millions of people. Having lived in India just catching a bit of the 
old India in the 70's and reciently the new India, i found the cast 
system still in place ( though strides have been made ) having been 
ingrained in the people by the Rajas and Kings, but much more to the 
point is it works out quite handly when you want if not slaves, then 
indentured servents. Sudras are only allowed the dirtest of jobs and 
told they are so polluted that even there presents will pollute the 
area. This was clear to me when i saw the dogs of Delhi attacking the 
garbage men who clean the streets at night and nobody would come to 
there aid. When I ask why nobody helped them when there were being 
attacked, i was told they were untouchables as if i were an idiot. 
that means they were not worthy of help. This attatude is why 
Christianity is growing in India, the sudras belive they are in fact 
unworthy for the large part and when someone tells them they are 
also "the children of God" I can't blame them for changing casts, to 
becoming christians. Maharish was much against prostilizing as i was 
myself untill recently when the reality of the cast system with all 
it's gross perversions became real. So this so called fourfold 
division of labor is abhorent and He who supports it is ignorent of 
the Nature of God, of the absolute which declares we are all One.
 
Thats my two cents worth.
