No. I’m not doing the Sidhi program these days. I did it for 25 years, largely out of a sense of obedience. I didn’t enjoy it much compared with regular meditation. I still do that a couple of hours a day, but using a mantra Amma gave me. Will they let you? No, for the reasons just stated, and others. They kicked me out a few days after 9/11, during a similar drive to get the numbers up, because of my Amma involvement. I’m even more involved with her now, so if I were to return to doing Maharishi’s programs as taught, I doubt they would let me in. They would probably also require that I shut down FFL, which I wouldn’t do, and would give me a lot of grief about things I and others have discussed here. Rather than feel contrite and apologetic over my activities, I would be inclined to put them in that position, demanding an explanation for the way Maharishi and the movement have behaved over the years. David Hawthorne tried to get back in the dome during this recent push, and was told he would have to give up his jyotish consulting.

If it was, wouldn't that be the same as, say, being a Catholic...which would mean that the TMO couldn't have any objection to it? Where is the dividing line between a TMer giving another "saint" their business and practising a religion? I think the main sticking points are that religions Are mainstream and the TMO wouldn’t dare mess with them. Aren’t represented by a living master. Don’t give out mantras and techniques that might “interfere” with TM. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'

Those two are more public about it. Judith has written a book which she intends to publish after MMY dies; Linda told her story to a newspaper in S. Africa. Other women don't want their name mentioned. Some don't mind the first name mentioned if it's a common name and their identity couldn't be guessed from it.

Rick also might have once beat his dog and kept his grandmother locked in the attic! Is this a new age swiftboat attack? Peter, he’s referring to Amma’s visits to Mt. Pleasant, not to the mental hospital there. So it’s a sincere question, not an attack. My answer is that the witness has been growing in clarity ever since I started meditating. I used to witness very clearly while lecturing in the early 70’s. these days, the silence is always there, but it’s more noticeable in contrasting situations, such as travel. Amma has definitely been a boost to my spiritual growth. --- The Secret mailto:L.Shaddai%40Gmail.com"[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Rick, > > You might have once stated that there is a silent > witness within you. > May I ask if this witness was there while you were > going to the Dome > before your trips to Mt.

RE: [FairfieldLife] Question for Rick Archer
From: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com [mailto:fairfieldl...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of shempmcgurk Sent: Sunday, December 14, 2008 12:11 PM To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Subject: [FairfieldLife] Question for Rick Archer 2) the next SEVEN results, however, are all commercial sites that are trying to sell you term insurance; sites such as statefarm.com, term4sale.com, quickquote.com, etc. It's only until we get to the 9th entry (the moneyalert.com website) is there another "information" article about term insurance that is not trying to sell me something. Question: are those seven results I refer to above coming up at or near the top of the results because those companies are paying Google to favor them? In other words, not only would I as, say, a life insurance company who is interested in selling term insurance pay google for a sponsored ad to the right or in the shaded yellow area but I could also pay them to prioritize my site as a result that would come out at the beginning of the list as the seven I point out above? Is this what I am seeing? No one is paying Google to be listed in the free or "organic" results. Some have wondered whether Google might favor sites that also buy advertizing, but that correlation has never been proven. The sites which come up highest in the free listings do so because Google's algorithm detects that those sites are most closely related to the search term. That relationship is determined by both "on-page" criteria - the site content and the way in which site pages have been optimized for various keywords - and "off-site" criteria, namely, link popularity. The latter is especially influenced by keyword-rich links from respected, well-established sites. There's nothing wrong with commercial sites ranking well in the organic listings, since very often, they offer what people are looking for.

My question is: Does my commentary belong in the same folder, since it's a rebuttal to Knapp's post? Sure. Or should it go in a different folder? And if so, could a reference to it be put in the Knapp document, so folks who read the Knapp post know there *is* a rebuttal to it?
