Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: We Were at this Place Today
I'm gonna try this again, since last night's message didn't come through. We saw the fireworks last night, and they were, I may say, exceedingly mediocre. I am guessing that what makes them special would be the backdrop of the Statue of Liberty, but from our vantage point inside the city, they were pretty average. And yes, there was a heavy police presence during that time, as I guess there was talk of some event, but overall, the police presence was pretty average. The highlight of yesterday's activities was the Observation Deck at the World Trade Center. This was more than your get off the elevator at the 105 th floor, and look around. Someone designed a pretty remarkable experience from the time you board the elevator, until the time you exit. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, noozguru@... wrote : Does New York look like an armed encampment.

The one time I was at the Cloisters, my camera died. I was photographing a
wooden statue of Jesus, and the camera's life came to an end, unrepairable.
What can you expect from a Jesus dummy. As the ticket also included the Met
museum as well, I went there next. I took an image of an Egyptian statue, some
tomb builder or something who lived several thousand years ago.

It was his karma to get on these programs - in reality, nobody did anything for him or to him - it was all due to his good or bad deeds performed by him in the past. But, it was not any personality, technique, organization or program that brought him his good or bad fortune - he earned it. If it had not been the Mahesh Yogi that got his attention, it would probably have been some other program. The TM did not provide him the ability to transcend, or not - TM is not caused by anything - THAT is the uncaused cause. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, no_re...@yahoogroups.com wrote : Maharishi never gave a damn about us ever understanding a philosophy made necessary if the concept transcendental is the basis of it.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: We were kept bare foot and pregnant (was Why MMY's Bhagavad Gita will never be a classic.
Edg is telling it like it was and it is. I understand the feeling that TM was/is good by some people's POV's, and to some degree or other that belief requires some compartmentalization. You have to deny, ignore or revamp many events, speeches, activities and behaviors on the part of Marshy and the Movement to be able to still say This is and was a good thing. But doing so doesn't make it so. Whether in anger, disgust or any other emotion that comes up, those of us who have left the Movement have grown up and left the things of childhood behind. Marshy was a liar, bottom line. He lied about so many things and I understand that many feel the technique that he handed out was of benefit to them so they will ignore the lies, but some of us can't. Even where there was benefit it doesn't justify his and the Movement's behavior. Worst of all, he lied about what TM could do for the world. There will be no TM created world peace, no end of suffering for mankind via the Movement. That is a flat out lie and a fantasy. He said it to make himself important in his sycophants' eyes and to make money. You like him and it, so be it. But Edg and all the rest of us who are free of Movement crap and its lying leader are much richer, much better off than we were when we were TM junkies. Addiction to anything including TM is still addiction.

You post probably 2 to 1 to my posts. Maybe 3 to 1. So, the numbers tell the tale of who is consistently stuck in repeat mode.

Oh, we were told we were Totakacharya types.the nice folks who were stupid but who would do great works none-the-less. We swallowed that shit like it was caviar. So don't go pushing Chapter 7 on me -- it's just window dressing in a billion dollar scam. I read the first six chapters and wore out three copies of the book underlining and adding comments and questions in the margins. After I got into Advaita, I read MMY's Gita one last time and I WAS APPALLED at the lack of consistency of how key concepts were used.
