I'll put in some money for the Purusha guy. - Original Message - From: dhamiltony2k5 [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, January 19, 2007 5:42 AM Subject: [FairfieldLife] TMO community? Community? I understand that someone committed suicide on campus the other day, shooting themselves in the head.

Re: [FairfieldLife] TMO community?
I've worked at a couple of small colleges over the years and have experienced mutiple suicides within a period of months on both campuses. Furthermore I've yet to see an organization I've been involved with (I assure you these are all fine upstanding not-for-profit humanitarian spiritual types) that, when push came to shove, really cared about anybody. For example, I'm proud to call myself Unitarian Universalist. A friend once told me that in his sisters' UU fellowship near Chicago the minister came down with brain cancer. How did his people react? They fired him. Life sucks, then you die. It's not just the movement. But of course you would think, being so enlightened and all . . . dhamiltony2k5 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Community?

But I would think the former at least would have made local news. A guy who has been on the Purusha program for years with the movement, come here to FF to die.

Is the TMorg of Maharishi too consumed with fund-raising and building utopias to care about its people? Well, yeah, and has been for quite a while now.

We at FFLife could start a foundation for retired yogis. - Original Message - From: Jonathan Chadwick To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, January 19, 2007 8:30 AM Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] TMO community?
