Obviously not.

Not in detail, but Bob reported on these conversations in some detail during
several meetings in the dome, transcripts of which were posted here. I
didn't say that I knew for a fact that M wasn't overly enthused about this
project. I just said that it was my feeling that he agreed to it largely in
response to Bob's enthusiasm. That he wouldn't have pushed it from his side.
Of course I may be wrong. It was just my impression.

It's a freaking house of cards based on an illusion 
all created by the mind. MMY is not even a good illusionist. In fact the worlds 
best illusionist worked for him and died for him, and so I would expect MMY to 
excercise some slight of hand, or at least be extremely aware of the value of 
prestidigitation. Those who believe anything MMY says at face value are quite 
frankly, dopes. That would prolly go for any word out of his mouth and for any 
action of his at all. (including the mantras mantras mantras man man manm 
anmtraz). Nonetheless, I bet the sat yuga window opens and 
144,000 hats fly out, and leave a lot of messed up hair. If not,
 
baby don't cry I hope you keep your head up even

Because he's a total loser. He's merely just what 
Maharishi taught him and therefore nothing at all. 
 
There's two types of spiritual aspirants. Those who 
stop when they find a good answer, and who then market it, and those who stop at 
nothing, sell nothing, and search for the truth only. You decide which one you 
think he is.

What is really upsetting to me is when the TMO was first "bringing out 
the knowledge of Ayurved", one of the carrots was that you could go into 
poor areas, relieve suffering and create health because it was so 
inexpensive. Relieve the suffering of the poor. I was so happy to hear 
that. I spend a lot of time around poor people who suffer deeply. So 
knowing what I know and knowing how it was all turned into a yuppie 
money-making scheme makes me want to cry.Who knows, maybe they are 
going into the black hole of Calcutta and helping relieve suffering--but I'm 
sure we would have heard if that was ever the case.-Ah Vaj, I

I was insulted that he had made the mistake to think I was his voice and not

A few years back I had stopped TM since doing a

in the projects and so on, and then guess what $2,500 bucks raise in price. I 
was like, no fucking way!  then every other hare brained scheme ever. Talk 
about not appreciating the hired help. What a dork. Not the best religion I ever 
had, it's boring (no bhakti) and I don't need it.

Honestly, I figured it was old news.

How did I know? Balraj takes his own students.

I actually thought you would. From my perspective MMY takes what is 
useful and exploits it: e.g. having Balraj give him these precious 
formulations if he promised not to use them for monetary gain--and then 
he turns around and creates a multi-million dollar line of the most 
expensive Ayurvedic meds on the planet.

Never had that problem.

  Esp. re: Karveji. His observations were right on. But that's part and 
parcel of "higher states of consciousness", no? Certainly MMY thinks so 
or he would not consult him.

Exactly. Profoundly helpful.  For those who don't know their birth 
time, it is a boon.

And esp. if you have recourse to a Nadi Jyotishi who knows the system 
based on precise time of birth.

I've heard that word used, but I think it is really an insult in this 
case--esp. given the derogatory sense of that word nowadays. He's a 
yogi, someone who lives for union.

He is a yogi who can read your Jyotish chart, precise time of first 
breath and past/future merely by placing his attention on you. He's a 
real jivan-mukti.

One thing worth considering is that MMY is consulting with someone--I 
am thinking of Yogi Karve. He has consulted with him in the past and 
has declared him a "Sat Purush".

Yogi Karve has also cancelled plans to travel here until September (he 
was supposed to have been here by now).

I agree with everything you said. I just have a feeling that bringing
pundits to Fairfield hasn't been high on M's priority list. He mainly agreed
to it because Bob Wynne was so enthusiastic.
