But I think that you know (and, like me, have probably
seen it happen) that even if the legal system found some-
thing dreadfully illegal about the TMO's activities, or
about Marharishi's activies, there are people who would
*refuse* to believe a word of it. Their trust in their
existing beliefs is stronger than their trust in the
legal system.
So, again, why even *bother* to try to sway those beliefs?
We can talk about the things we believe here, and they
can talk about the things they believe in the groups they
hang with. No harm, no foul, no need for either side
to try to convince the other that it's right. To do
so just seems like an awful waste of time and energy
to me.
Yeah, that Bonhoeffer guy for instance, he could have saved
himself a
lot of trouble and probably have saved his neck if he just would
have, kept his mouth shut. http://www.dbonhoeffer.org/ A real
negativist. What was with him anyway, moralist fool. Huh? You
enjoying France now?
Are you still back on this subject? :-) I forgot it
and moved on long ago. And I don't have ANY idea who
Bonhoeffer is and why you're referencing him.
What i am reading here in what you write now is the urging that,
we
should not be divided on moral cause about how we do things? An
advitan newage-ie thing, be one, are all one and...
Yet people do have a sense of what is fair. With MMY, TM and the
TMorg, there are just a few hundreds left and many who have
walked
away.
And?
What makes them -- either those who stuck with TM
or the ones who walked away -- important enough to
concern myself with?
Turq, you may not be concerned. You live in France not much
influenced by the TMorg anymore, we live here in FF where our lives
very much are.
You do seem interested as you do continue on FFL. Inside that
interest are likely some concerns (?) about things FF, MMY, TM and
the TMorg.
Yet, FF and the TMorg being remote from your life now, you need not
concern yourself, unless you're stuck or would like to get involved.
With Kind Regards,
