Thank you for the logs posting; interesting. Remember WillyTex? John Manning? I remember Judy and would love to talk with her. I tried to join TheCorner but keep getting the message "Your subscription has not yet been approved." I guess I'd have to be lucky to find people with any positive feelings at all about TM these days.

This group seems to be full of spam now.I figure it like this, David - if anyone reads and responds to my messages they must have less to do than I do. YMMV. I've been posting to this group since 1998 when it was USENET. This list has always been susceptible to spam of one sort or another. The political faction was started by Judy during the presidential election with John Kerry. YMMV. So far as I can tell I'm the only informant still posting about meditation and TM - most of the others are probably dead by now, or have gone over to Facebook or TikTok to post cartoons or dog snapshots of their pets. Nobody wants to talk about yogic flying or levitation anymore. Go figure. |
Re: Local News
Their goal was to eat at the food court in the mall without showing proof of vaccination. Go figure.
"New York City was the first in the United States to enforce this mandate Sept. 13, as part of Mayor Bill de Blasio's efforts to get more residents vaccinated at a time when the highly transmissible delta variant has led to a surge in infections nationwide."

@Sal Sunshine, @Bhairitu,
Thanks for your replies. I'm in between a TB and an Ex-TMer. I believe that TM is a fast way to improve all aspects of life (and I see confirmation in the lives of my 3100 clients), I also see MMY as having done the world a great service in teaching effortless transformation through an easy and simple path using the sense of hearing, and of having been a living example of what he taught (I spent 8.5 months with him on teacher training in 1971-1972, and it was clear to me that he was in at least the 5th state of consciousness). But I also see that setting up an organization that trains teachers of self-realization quickly does not work: it makes the course fee too high and the teachers fail too often. I see the results of some of those failures when their students come to me for better guidance into effortless transcending. I also see more evidence of ineptness when extreme unstressing is denied and hidden (I have fixed several cases of uncontrolled unstressing easily myself, and have found that it occurs in approximately 0.5% of all transcending students). And I also see MMY's errors, such as his raising the course fee to $2,500, his forbidding TM to be taught in England, and his abandoning TM to push for the TM Sidhi Program, which is not appropriate for the general population, and arguably inadequate for TBs. The current leadership is not much better; they sometimes foolishly wear gold crowns and white robes and quote fluently in Sanskrit (mood-making), they are still running unrealistic programs of all kinds, such as astrology, expensive cancer cures that do not work, and a careless Quiet Time program that allowed itself to be sued in Chicago for lack of separation of church and state. Yes, I could talk about the good old days, about Jerry Jarvis, the skin boys, the World Plan, SCI and Nobel Prize winners, but these things are in the past and I'm far more interested in improving the world today. If I could have anything I could wish for, it would be to find a humble but advanced volunteer to mentor to take my place in teaching effortless transcending before I die. But so far, each ex-TM teacher who has contacted me to volunteer has dropped out when they found there was no money to be made. I will visit TheCorner as you suggested, thanks.

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi David,It¡¯s only full of, um, spam, because one member, Willytex, aka puditster, insists on putting it there and the group leader lets it stand. I¡¯m interested in talking about TM, if only to rehash the good old days before the whole thing went off the rails and just became another cult. Also just voted in your survey (spoiler alert, the answer was ¡°No¡±. Sal? On Sep 27, 2021, at 11:33 AM, David <m029@...> wrote:

Re: Anyone here interested in Maharishi Mahesh Yogi or Transcendental Meditation??
TB means "True Believer" or people still affiliated with the organization.? I taught TM back in the 1970s but found it a bit of a dead end and moved on to other things.? 21 years ago I started learning from a tantric who had moved to the US and learned much about teaching different forms of meditation.? His tradition is a fork from Sri Ramakrisha's guru.

Re: Anyone here interested in Maharishi Mahesh Yogi or Transcendental Meditation??
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThis really isn't a rebirth of Fairfield Life. It's a group that Ravi setup just before Yahoo stopped serving groups.? It may have been that he noticed that Doug probably wouldn't get around to migrating to Groups.io like other Yahoo Groups and Alex probably wasn't interested in setting it up for him.? I regret I didn't mention to folks on FFL to come here the last month that FFL was active.However most here are ex-TM and not TB'ers.? Oddly enough you'll find more TMO postings over on The Corner though that group indeed is not TB.? There have been some recent postings of videos there. /g/TheCorner On 9/27/21 9:33 AM, David wrote:

Re: Be Prepared
File under: Outdoor Survival Skills
House fires, floods, storms, war or social collapse among countless other potential disasters may leave you with no other option but to leave. This book deals with a specific area of survival skills: Bugging out. More specifically, it breaks this down into three categories. 1. Bugging Out (which could mean leaving to somewhere close by, quite possibly for the short term) 2. Relocating (moving but remaining in the same county / region) 3. Bugging Out Abroad (Leaving your country for good) Bugging Out and Relocating: When Staying Put is not an Option. Head north out of Austin on Texas Highway 130. YMMV. |
