MJ, this is fair enough. All that was wrong will change with the next generation and beyond of meditators and meditation teachers coming. Succession is happening. I feel you could be quite happy with the younger teachers on the David Lynch Foundation side of the new TM movement since MMY passed away. They have a different culture. They are much more honorable than some of our old people remaining that you but once knew in TM from before. There is 'consciousness-raising' and then there is 'conscience-building', they can go hand in hand with proper upbringing. Both are happening in the next generation of TM now coming. I look forward to a future welcoming you back once again. The way of transcendent progress is happening. By the science and taking quiet time we all are saying let's give peace a chance, -Buck

I remind you that I posted here some time ago some of what was revealed in the wikileaks documents on the TMO where Raja Badgett Rodgers was quoted as saying that the entire reason for having TM in the schools was to create more sidhas. Sidhas, not for the benefit of the students, not to improve the quality of their lives and all the other crap they claim they are there for, but to create sidhas. I know that all the people who love TM will say of COURSE it will improve the lives of the teens if they did TM Sidhis but that's not the point. The TMO wants the students to do TM so they can pitch TM Sidhis to them, to get them to BE sidhas and to get that money the sidhis cost, cause there ain't no David Lynch subsidies for the TMSP. More sidhas means more potential customers for all the other baubles, bangles, gewgaws and nostrums the TMO sells. If the TMO would just say "Look, we have a method that we think will be of benefit to the world and to the people who do it, and will create world peace as well. This is the TM Sidhi program, and to get that you need to have TM first. The TM Sidhis requires a few hours a day to practice, but its worth it. It costs a lot of money, but its worth it. Just give us this chance and we will prove to you that TM and TMSP are grand. The mantras are sounds associated with several Hindu goddesses, but you don't have to be a Hindu to use them. Just give us a chance and we'll prove to you this works." If the TMO advertised it this way, with complete candor and truth and the schools said OK and the parents were alright with it, that would be fine by me. It is the deceit that I don't like. The Meditating Community: “We are a group of people who have come together and created a community for a transcendentally important common purpose, which of course is to practice the Transcendental Meditation program and the TM-Sidhi program together as a group, for the sake of bringing coherence to national and world consciousness based on balancing labor and leisure to meditate while working together for the benefit of the community. Our Super-Radiance meditating communities includes families of TM-Meditators and TM-Sidhas everywhere." https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/FairfieldLife/conversations/messages/375646 https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/FairfieldLife/conversations/messages/375646 .
