As I said, you're BOTH really quite stupid AND you're deliberately 
misinterpreting what has been said. Thanks for the clarification.

You're a True Believer, Lawson.  You will find a way
to justify ANYTHING the TM movement does and trying
to characterize anyone who sees its idiocy and manip-
ulation as "misrepresenting" that idiocy and manipulation.  
There's really no point in interacting with you...

Or that you're willing to misinterpret things in order to fit them to

It is current TM movement policy.  TM can only be
taught in buildings that are vastu-compliant.

He made it "official policy" and went so far as to
declare that NO ONE can teach TM in any other setting.
I'd say that implies a little something about efficacy,
even if that term was not used.

Face it, man...Maharishi's gone stark, raving mad 
over this vastu thing.  He's been locked away inside
buildings without seeing the sun for so long that he's
come to believe that enlightenment really depends on
which direction the building is facing.

It's the official policy of the TMO, Lawson.

When did MMY say anything about the efficacy of TM due to the 
orientation of the building in which it was to be taught?

Face it, you're either deliberately misinterpretting what has been

Oh, do mean like when someone declares that TM can
only be effectively taught in buildings that face
a particular direction?  :-)

Sounds like an obsession to me.  The entrance at 
1015 Gayley Avenue faced primarily north.  Does
that mean that all of the people initiated there
over the years received a "defective" technique?

Face it, Lawson...the "guideline" in this case
comes straight from the top, from Maharishi, and
it is *clearly* an obsession, one that invalidates
and calls into question his own life's work.

Me too. Also shows the value of discrimination, and dare I say -
judgement in the 'unfolding' of awareness.

As far as I can remember this is the closest M ever came to 
talking about diet in the 60's and early 70's.  Don't eat something if you 
know it interferes with your meditation or makes you sick. Eat what your mother 
cooks for you was always the standard. I think the age of enlightenment courses 
were the first to serve pure vegetarian diet and M didn't make a big deal out of 
it either.

Of course, people change their minds, and actually, the Ayurvedic 
recommendations are flexable enough that you STILL have to make up 
your mind about what to eat.

In the early days (1967-69...early for me at least),
Maharishi used to have a pat answer for people who
asked him questions about diet and lifestyle and
how they should live their lives. He used to say,
"It is not a favor to the seeker to answer such
questions. If I do, it makes them *weaker*, because
they get used to someone telling them how to live
and making their decisions for them instead of 
figuring things out for themselves." (This is not 
an exact quote...I'm doing this from memory.)

Pity he didn't stick to that teaching.  If he had,
he'd have created stronger students.

It was those very suckers (though I'd spell it 'seekers') who 
pressed Mr. M for this knowledge. It was their own impatience, 
yearning for Realization, and lack of confidence in themselves that 
drew out this Vedic oriented knowledge, which some of them become

Aside from the siddhis course, which I found invaluable for speeding 
up profound purification, all the rest I find more trouble than it 
is worth, or costs.

Actually, its often a valid assumption, IMHO. Of course, its invalid 
often enough to make it a dangerous assumption.

These are the same people who were told when they started TM that 
all they had to do was do TM for 20 minutes twice a day and then go 
out into activity and act according to the dictates of common sense 
and their own traditions.

Now, there's a dictate from the TMO for every aspect of the relative 
field of activity: what direction to face; what foods to eat (and 
where, of course, to buy them!); what type of building to live, 
sleep, meditate and work in; be guided by astrology and certain 
vedic rituals to ward off negativity (and pay through the nose for 
it); and have your health treated by Ayur-Veda and Vedic Vibration.

Is there an aspect of the relative which is NOT covered by some TM 
program?

Is this not the OPPOSITE of the TM Program as taught back in 
the '70s?  I mean the total and complete opposite?

These suckers will believe anything.

When I was going through my master's progam in
counseling and human development at the University of
Iowa and living in Fairfield, I would frequently eat
at Anapurna. It always cracked me up when someone
would tell me that my future counseling/psychotherapy
work would be very simple because I would just have to
tell them to start TM...problem solved! the spooky
part was that many of these TB's actually believed it.

Or funding was cut, or both. Last I heard, and this was years ago, MUM 
faculty were expected to meet at least one hour a week with every 
student for academic counseling. Has this been discontinued?

You're being intentionally obtuse. The *reason* 
there was a problem is that their world view 
didn't allow them to conceive that there might
someday be a problem. "Things like this" just
aren't supposed to happen with TMers. So they
didn't prepare for them. Their beliefs (as it
turned out, unfounded beliefs) blinded them to
what they should -- as people who run a college --
have been doing to protect the students.

The people implementing the policies didn't see

That's overly harsh. Someone died because they didn't have policies in place to 
handle that 
kind of person because they'd never seen them before in the MUM student body.

Interesting that you should bring up the issue 
of dharma here. Keeping silent while a teacher
does something you know is wrong is, according
to most teachings I've encountered, *against*
the dharma, not following it. Thus the students
who remain silent in the face of such actions
invoke a set of karmas that not only allow the
teacher to continue acting from a low state of
consciousness, but in the process lower their 
own state of consciousness to that level or
lower. And it becomes a self-perpetuating cycle.
Once the cycle of denial of wrongdoing and 
blind support for wrong action has begun
within a spiritual organization, it's really,
really difficult to turn it around. 

> But, then again, MMY has

Yes he has. Having spread the myth that the
enlightened are incapable of wrong action, and
having created an environment in which students
were encouraged to think of him as enlightened,
he pretty much *had* to create another environ-
ment in which doubt was considered "off the 
program" and in which criticism of the teacher
was "just cause" for being kicked out of the
study. It's a classic model of what happens 
when a teacher who isn't ready to teach is 
allowed to do so anyway.

On the other hand, this one has the potential 
of pulling back the curtain and revealing the
man behind the curtain, big-time. All it would
take to "blow the whistle" on the *real* nature
of the TM movement and its insane pursuit of
money woould be for one person to "invest" a 
million Euros and then, one year later to the
day, ask for the 1,150,000 Euros that were 
promised to him. If the TMO does not produce
them, immediately, then the veil of secrecy 
is lifted, and the whole thing is in the hands
of the public and the media, not to mention
the police.

What the TMO is counting on with this "bond offer"
is that the investors will be the same domesticated
sheep that they've grown used to dealing with in 
their other scams. The TM TB investors never speak 
up when they are ripped off, because they've been 
*trained* never to criticize the "enlightened" 
teacher or any of his plans. So the TMO gets to 
keep their money and get away with fleecing them. 
IMO, they are assuming they'll be able to do the 
same thing with this new scam.

Either that, or it's even more insidious than that.
They'll create this phony "bond issue," try to 
sucker a few people into "investing" in it, then
wait for Maharishi to die. Within a couple of 
months of his death, the on-paper organization
that has issued the "bonds" will declare bank-
ruptcy and disappear, and will get to keep all
the money, pseudo-legally. If the courts can't *find*
the money (for example, if it's been transferred to
India and disappeared into the black hole of MMY's
relatives there), they can't force the org that 
is going bankrupt to repay it. 

THAT is what I suspect the real long-term idea 
behind this bond scheme is. The TMO has taken a 
page from the Enron playbook and is attempting
to run a similar scam.

I have initiated quite a few people, when it was difficult to do so.
Sent many to the siddhis, a dozen to TTC, taught SCI, done radio and
TV for TM and ran a TM center for quite a few years, many of those out
of my own pocket when everyone else flew the coup. My accomplishments
as far as the TMO are concerned speak for themselves. And I post in my
own name

Snip.

No one is saying they could have filled Maharishi's sandals. And no one is
saying that the TM hasn't benefited them and the world. I don't claim to be
qualified to be President of the United States. But that doesn't mean I'm
not qualified to criticize the President. Maharishi did many things while
presenting himself to the public as someone who didn't or wouldn't do those
things, apparently thinking he was getting away with it because his ruse was
working. But he didn't get away with it, because such behavior took a toll
on his psychology and personality, which is now painfully evident to all but
the most ardent true believer.

Far more than foibles, it's the corruption of a vision that was the

You're exactly right about the tremendous accomplishment and the
change in collective consciousness brought about by the TMO at it's
best. The contributions of 100's of thousands working to bring simple
consciousness closer to the surface. It's just not available now. 
That's the point.

I tried to express this a few hundred messages upstream. It's always
bothered me that these folks and many others eventually left. It's as
if the vision did not hold as they saw it more clearly... That's been
my experience, but it's been the middle tier of the org that drove me
 out.

I think one problem is that the TB's believe that MMY
is knowledgable in all things. As if every utterance
he makes is spoken out of the mouth of god. I'm also
sure plenty of people around him doubt, to some
extent, his planning, but instead of being authentic,

As soon as they stop saying 'yes', they're history. Charlie, Jerry,
Domash, Donahue, Chopra Haeglin, not yet, but he's salaried. Isn't
it odd that no one stayed

Say something like that and you're out on your ass. Not just because the
yes-men want it that way. Because Maharishi does. He made the yes men,
allowed them to be close to him, and distanced or banished everyone else.

I would like to be able to say it's the "yes men" also, but 
that would be letting M off the hook too easily. He built the organization 
and is supposed to be the Maharishi of administration. He needs to take 
some responsibility for how it turned out and not turn a blind eye to 
it.

The Yes-Men are the villains...

Isn't there SOMEONE around him willing to say: Hey, Maharishi, can 
we get around to teaching TM sometime soon so we can spiritually 
regenerate the world?

Eye on the prize, please.

Some wide-eyed innocent kid from California was murdered because 
this organisation didn't want to skewer their Maharishi Effect 
stats...no one went to prison for that...no one will go to prison 
for this, either...

I guess some could weep, but then don't you think M would be a 
great villain in an Austin Powers movie?

When you've been dealing with brainwashed Yes-men
for 40 years, you come to believe you can say
almost anything and promise almost anything and
people will believe it.
