The April 30 satellite feed featured Rawat's speech in Amaroo from a couple weeks ago. According to a friend who attended the feed, it began with soft music accompanying images of Rawat and Amaroo. Rawat spoke about all his favorite themes which he delivered in one well-worn platitude after another:

this life is a gift
we don't realize this existence
many experience only 'pseudo-enjoyment'
accept the gift
realize the one breath
do not impose or embellish existence
many are afraid to find true joy
true love is not based on ideas or concepts
the substance of life is within us
the passion to be fulfilled is within us
count your blessings and get even more blessings
it's all about practice, participation and a heart of gratitude
Knowledge is the best thing happening in this world
realize Knowledge through the gift of service

Then, an extra bonus, a little human interest story about his German Sheperd who is supposed to be his personal guard dog but acts more like a puppy - we are all like puppies wanting protection and this is a sad situation

A few other people spoke (Mark Wakefield, Dick Marriot, George Luven). They also spoke of familiar, time-honored themes - how much they love giving to Maharaji and how good it makes them feel. (I'm not making any of this up).

The video ended with a couple songs, including Daya singing 'everday inch a little closer to your self.' A snippet from the LA event and then: 'to be continued in two weeks.'

Cost: $35.00 'suggested donation' per person.

If those grandiose claims were not made the plump little boy form India would have had little to gain or hold our attention. It was because his claims were so fantastic that he was able to arouse peoples curiousity enough to get them to investigate. The enthusiam that you noticed being displayed by premies was enough to make you believe it was true.

I don't know what M does now to make people believe that he is all that.

In doing my own research, it seems that Shri Satpal Ji Maharaj is more authentic to the original teachings of his father, Shri Hans, than Maharaji, in that he cites the Bhagavad Gita, Bible, and other religious scriptures, to express his teaching on Knowledge. I wonder why Maharaji, the younger brother, changed his semantics, stating he does not teach spirituality or religion? Did Guru Maharaj Ji teach more or less the same thing that his now older brother, Shri Satpal, is teaching? I know that Shri Satpal teaches the same four techniques, for one thing. I've also found that many Sikhs, Sufis, and others use some of those techniques.

Who is Blood Boils ?

Blood Boils is not bb or Bill Burke. I am sorry if this name has caused confusion on the board. I chose the name because at times I have felt like my blood is boiling when I realize how terribly naieve I was when I ran across and became involved with Maharaji.

I was really grabbing for straws to hold me up in a world that seemed to be collapsing around me in the early 70's.
(ie. drafted into the army and sent to Viet Nam, dysfunctional family, etc.)

There were Hare Krishna people on every street corner, Ram Dass had just published 'Be Here Now,' Maharishi was selling mantras on campuses across the country. All of these things presented themselves as opportunities to become 'enlightened.'

I had no idea what enlightenment was but it seemed like the right thing to pursue. It was convenient to attend the festival in Montrose, Colorado. It was difficult to comprehend that the seeming wise mahatmas such as Guru Charanand could be anything but right. He had such a wealth of knowledge about things like the Gita and the Vedas that it was beyond my ability to see what was really going on with the DLM thing. Maharaji was promising to establish peace on earth, and it was very apparent to me that we needed that very badly. I didn't have the knowldege of wisdom to ask to see his business plan before I signed on.

I was actually hoping that if he was going to do it, he would do it very soon. I wasn't looking forward to my tour of duty in Viet Nam. In the event that he wasn't going to do it right away I will have to admit that I was hoping that I would achieve enlightenment quickly so that I could consciously leave my body if necessary while on patrol in the jungle.

Amazing how hard one grasps at straws when one is in a state of emotional turmoil such as is normal for draftees during war times.

As we all know from hindsight, Maharaji didn't take the establishment of peace as seriously as we all did. We know that he is no more capable of fulfilling that claim than is each of us. We also know that no amount of motivation and effort practicing the prescribed path of his so called knowledge leads nowhere quickly.

If there has been any enlightenment which has occurred in my life it is the realization that no one human being can teach any other human being anything about the soul, the spirit, or enlightenment. I realize that there are many factors which cause a human being to want to search for something deeper and more profound than is apparent in the superficial reality our culture. I also realize now that there are an uncountable number of people who profess to have some special method or technique to achieve awareness or knowledge of 'so-called' deeper or profound realities.

The one thing that I am absolutely certain of in my mind, heart and soul is that Maharaji is a huge disappointment. I often feel compassion for the premies who post here attempting so desperately to express their testimonies. As if they can only convince someone else, they may themselves be convinced as well. This same shenanigan goes on in every church and spiritual organization I have ever seen.

Thank you for your indulgence and now let us see if this will get flamed.

Sincerely,
Blood

I was pushing my tongue back into the roof my mouth frantically during the 18 hour flight over the Pacific. My mouth continued to ache for days.

Almost everyone there was loaded on derivitives from tropical varieties of the hemp plant. Delusional states were common. And my own delusional state about Maharaji having some special spiritual authority wasn't that far out. Lots of Jesus freaks trying to convert, military freaks trying to make rank, drug addicts trying to escape reality. I was not so different than the rest.

After seeing the indescribably terrible effects of napalm and bombing on innocent civilians I began to become convinced that there was little evidence of the existence of a god or higher spiritual power who was interested in the affairs of human beings on this planet. My line of thinking and reasoning was that if this Maharaji character truely had taken the time from his position as Lord of The Universe to manifest a human form (as was all the rage and wag of his proselytizers) he had more immediate matters to attend to than teaching people techniques for meditation and holding big gatherings.

It came home to me that Maharaji was nothing more than an very imaginative opportunist getting fat sitting in the West while terrible realities were unfolding daily closer to his own back yard of the world.

I figured if this guy really had any divinity he'd get his butt to where the trouble was instead of to the plush life of the West.

Sitting out a monsoon season in the jungle shouting at god inside my head to bring me some peace didn't seem to have any effect. Neither did the nearly constant meditation that I did in my fear and boredom. I was busy counting days till I could get out of hell.

I don't know exactly when I first realized he was a scam artist. Probably had something to do with the exposure to every kind of scam artist that exists in the army. I had grown up in a middle class white community where everyone was fairly tame. I was so freaking naieve that I can hardly believe it.

Jethro,
Thanks for your comments. I have asked both Shri Satpal and Maharaji on their web sites, questions about why they do not like each other, and why the Knowledge they teach has not helped them to be examples, in working out their differences. If they are truly spiritual masters as they claim, they are not setting a good example by not acknowledging each other, and caring for one another. You are right, they will not answer questions, depsite giving emails for such questions. My experience with Maharaji is that Elan Vital will have one of their representatives get in touch with me, but they will not answer the questions either, claiming it would take someone with more expertise, etc. What a bulking at questions! It seems condescending and arrogant, that they are afraid that coming out direct with answers to such questions might 'confuse' me (or is it that they fear loss of a customer for Maharaji?).

You see I have 2 bags to take to the gym, towels, soaps, creams etc.
I have a bag/back pack for everyday with most anything someone may need on any given day. Ask JM, there is a lot in it.
Then I have my little purse inside that bag to take into stores.
A bag set up for going away over night.
And for the warmer weather there is a bag for going to the creek with the dogs. Special dog treats to entice them to come back home with me. Changes of socks and shoes for me. I am a diabetic and had a bad time of it once on a long hike there with wet socks and sneakers. Tolite paper, of course. Tanning stuff and then all the other just might need stuff.
You see because I can't remember anything I have to have each bag all ready set up, many duplicates of things, brushes, cream, pads and pens etc.
As I write this I see myself in the midst of the slow trasformation to what will surely be an excentric golden years!

We are having a good time, even though we had to bail Jean-Michel out of jail for speeding (and argue with southern policemen with no teeth! What a coincidence!) Also, for some reason, there was a football game here today, and the town was packed full of students and alumni. We went out to dinner down town, and now half the men in town are knocking on our door trying to meet SB! And you should read all the international e-mails she's getting!

By the way, my cat Henry really did throw up on a magazine full of pictures from Holi in 1978 (right on Maharaji's feet!). He couldn't take it and neither could I.

Give us a call tomorrow (Jean-Michel says to put your teeth in before you call!), and we'll update you on all the madness.

Thanks for asking about the cancer. I'm doing pretty well. Despite a critical diagnosis, doctors at this time find no trace of cancer.

It's been quite a journey. I've written up some of experience from the perspectives of spiritual and emotional processing. I consider the work I did with myself to have been crucial to my healing.

Try this some day when you're caught in a boring meeting without a magazine: pretend that whoever's talking is a radiant guru...in other words, access that feeling you used to have sitting in front of Guru Maharaj Ji, that openness. You could visualize the others in the room as fellow premies, or as a roomful of gurus.

Don't worry, this is a perfectly safe practice. You will not be seized with a sudden desire to kiss anyone's feet.

And, yes, Jim, I know I'm a loony fucking new-ager, but let me finish.

This experiment is similar the one referred to now and then on this site...the one showing that the darshan/shaktipat experience has more to do with the believer than with the teacher.

The experiment could also be seen as genuine spiritual practice (as in the Buddhist exercise of seeing each being as a Buddha).

Just making lemons out of fake lemonade, if you know what I mean.

This is well known yoga exercise called 'tratak'.

Totally focus on something. Picture, candle light, plant, etc .... and you'll get to 'that place'.

Of course plants don't talk (except for some persons I know) and won't give you a 'spiritual' discourse, trap you in their beliefs and ask for your 'gratitude', except maybe for the water they need to survive.

The problem with Rawat I guess is that he doesn't thrive on water ....

And your guinea pig - Tinky Winky - the furry lotus one; any relation to the Hamster?

HAMSTER

A mangy looking guy who goes into a bar and orders a drink.
The bartender says, 'No way. I don't think you can pay for it.'

The guy says, 'You're right. I don't have any money, but if I
show you something you haven't seen before, will you give
me a drink?'

The bartender says, 'Only if what you show me ain't risqué.'

'Deal!' says the guy and reaches into his coat pocket and
pulls out a hamster. He puts the hamster on the bar and it
runs to the end of the bar, down the bar, across the room, up
the piano, jumps on the keyboard and starts playing
Gershwin songs. And the hamster is really good.

The bartender says, 'You're right. I've never seen anything
like that before. That hamster is truly good on the piano.'
The guy downs the drink and asks the bartender for another.

'Money or another miracle else no drink,' says the bartender.
The guy reaches into his coat again and pulls out a frog. He
puts the frog on the bar, and the frog starts to sing. He has a
marvelous voice and great pitch. A fine singer. A stranger
from the other end of the bar runs over to the guy and offers
him $300 for the frog.

The guy says, 'It's a deal.' He takes the three hundred and
gives the stranger the frog. The stranger runs out of the bar.
The bartender says to the guy, 'Are you some kind of nut?
You sold a singing frog for $300? It must have been worth
millions. You must be crazy.'

'Not so', says the guy, 'the hamster is also a ventriloquist.'

You're surely suggesting the pumpkin for tratakia, no? Hmm, I'll have to think about it . . . rose or another flower is the obvious site, see Sacred Geometry, and of course, all plants 'unfold' fractally and are a wonderful model of the fourth dimension.

But back to m? There is this weed, it might be called bindweed, something like a perennial morning glory (it's white flowers are similar), but I don't think it could be that. It grows deep under the ground on long white roots, growing up and all over everything else. It is virtually impossible to eradicate, especially when your three adjoining neighbours don't join in the effort - I've been trying for almost eight years now and I've been gaining some ground. I've also consulted many experts - they've suggested digging in a 2 feet deep barrier around the perimeter of my yard (out of the question for now at least, and how to find a material that would be permanent?). They all want to know how I finally resolve it. This year the next attack . . . we'll see!

I vote for bindweed as the vegetative symbol of m.

Hi Stonor,

Yes, shortened my name, the therapy of writing is cooling down the temperature of my blood. Also noticed that where ever I posted in the extended form of the name it was like placing the plague. No responses or interaction. Almost like no one wanted to get near the plague. In the army during the viet nam fiasco all brothers called each other 'Blood' like it was a shortened version of blood brothers. It is an expressive word full of much meaning. Especially here on this forum where many people have given their spiritual life blood to a charlatan shaman

Have you ever seen a Drunvalo video. Interesting but very scary.
He perports himself to be from another planet or dimension. In one of his videos he describes his process of coming to earth. I have run into a number of people who were his trained instructors. Very scary, indeed, so new agey that it was hard to believe. Drunvalo has a ranch north of Taos which is his own version of the Malibu Palace referred to in this group.

Subject: 5 Platonic Solids/Sacred Geometry
Message:
The term sacred geometry was thrown around before this dude (who has taken his name from occult history BTW). Most of it is about the 5 platonic solids, embellishing their importance.

One of the actual physical phenomena that has interested people in this kind of thinking is a phenomena called Chladni patterns. Musical tones make sand or other granular medium to vibrate (like by drawing a violin bow along a piece of glass with fine sand on it) and the sand will produce geometric patterns in it. The patterns change depending on the note, etc.

I've seen stuff relating the 5 solids to chakras, but it's too unsubstantiatable for me.

One book, _Rhythms of Vision, the Changing Pattern of Belief_ has a lot of material like this. Another general area of related interest is Fibonacci numbers which occur in cross-spirals (two numbers spiralling against each other) like in a sunflower, as well as in more hidden ways throughout plant life and were used by Renaissance painters in conjunction with the development of perspective and projective geometry.

That Melchizadek dude sounds like bad news to me.

Subject: sound color vibration / More Chladni patterns
Message:
It's physically possible but I don't know how fancy they really do it. Exaggeration is key to many miraculous occurences.

I thought you were going to mention the Tibetans who chant with more than one note coming out of their vocal chords. That would create a more complex pattern if it were tapped as a source for Chladni patterns.

Most of the occult types in the early 20th century were obsessed with synasthesia and relating sensory input into a grid where tone corresponds to color to vowel sounds to movement etcetera.

The primary building block of this 'theory' was there are 7 colors of the rainbow and 7 tones in a major scale. But there is no way to prove the a priori existence of the major scale over other scales although a some interesting discussions might be had among musicians about it. This is the kind of stuff that Eurythmy was supposed to deal with- a certain movement corresponding to a certain tone and a certain vowel sound. It can be interesting but I wouldn't get to 'sacred' about any of it.

Sacred Geometry was used by the Old Masters in the creation of much of what we call Classic Artwork.

Watch out for Dan Winter and Drunvalo as far as I'm concerned. They have proclaimed themselves to be the new priesthood of Sacred Geometry. There are also some Jewish Mysticism sites up that go into details. Dan Winter plagerized a scholar named Stan Tenen and professed to have to discovered the secret of the alphabets by rotation of a spiral determined by the Fibronacci number 'phi' through the three dimensions on a computer animation. He sold a CD for quite a while until he was caught and sued. Both Winter and Drunvalo are so deep into self aggrandizement that it is hard to see the forest for the trees.

Their web presentations are so terribly confusing that I do not recommend going there (especially Dan Winters.) There are some very nice examples of artwork in the links on the page you posted. Both of these guys are very similiar to Maharaji
in their aloofness and their ability to put the burden of proving their theories in the belief of their followers. Both rely on tons of catch phrases and buzzwords to deliver their message. The kind of phrases and words that premies use and give knowing nods and smiles to each other when they are used

Dan Winter Be warned. His page is one of the most disorganized and incomprehensible messes I have ever seen.

The Anthroposophists, on the other hand, have some good material in print, however, don't know about the internet. There is a building in Switzerland called the Goetheanum. I think that spelling is correct that was created using sacred geometry principles.

Everything in nature unfolds according to the invisible impulses which are labeled sacred geometry. It is what makes me think there is hope for human kind, to see the invisible intelligence at work silently beneath the creation. Also, it is what makes me think that charlatans like Maharaji will have to encounter the silent intelligence at some point and have some real reckoning (or something) to go through.

I absolutely agree withyour assessment of the Drunvalo trip. I went on one of his 'flower of life ' workshops a few years back. It consisted 98% of watching videos of him talking.

Loads of far out prophesies about what will happen to us and the earth. Did you know that he claims to have new age technology that can solve pollution problems in big cities? He claimed to have tested it in Mexico City in front of senior government members there. Nothing ever substantiated scientifically of course.

Apparently at new age events he is granted guru status. I personally find him pretty unconvincing and boring to listen to.

Blood, Runamok and Hal,

Thank you for your informative posts.

Personally, I don't care who puts it at their website - obviously Sacred Geometry doesn't come from Winter or Melchizedik either (the recent) - but Winter has it posted at his website and so I posted the link. (ie, my topic was Sacred Geometry and related stuff, not Winter or Drunvalo)

I just wondered if anyone else found it interesting, and I did mention it in the context of contemplating flowers and plants and fractals and fourth dimension. BTW, that 3D 'yantra' you posted was interesting, Blood, but he's certainly not the only one who's working on that type of geometry. In fact, Ouspensky was on to this before he met Gurdjieff. (just so none of you think that this 'non-anything' is now 'hooked' on Winter, Drunvalo, or Gibran for that matter)

Blood, thank-you. I can read that we are speaking the same language here:

Is this not 'on-topic' in this thread - the contemplation of 'God,' not m?

I think Gregg was only pointing out how the experience we had with M was manufactured by our own brains, by focussing all our love and attention on something. And we thought that it was magically 'exuding' out of the big Lard Himself.

I guess the technique of focussing can be helpful, in times of stress such as when dealing with an annoying customer. Or when one's mind is compulsively playing some old destructive tape and causing all kinds of anxiety, meditating on something can take one out of that and be relaxing. I guess it is only dangerous when it becomes 'reality itself' for the person doing the focussing/meditating. For example, in the premie days, the irate customer would have been seen as 'not real' or 'in their mind'. The reality of the bliss the person was focussing on would be the 'real reality' as opposed to the false reality of 'Mind.' Kinda silly, huh? Meditation is just a way to temporarily sedate oneself from life's sucktitude, but it doesn't make life go away. Better to learn coping skills and to grow up, IMO. But there is nothing wrong with a little sedation now and then. Whatever gets you through the night. Me, I take Elavil, 30 mlgms, it's great. Sleeping like a baby now (;

Like you said, better to focus on something rather than surrendering yourself. Although surrendering has its place too, sometimes it means accepting what you can't change, or takng a risk. Depends on what the meaning of 'surrender' is, it what context. Surrendering to another human being, *is* one big sucktidudinous waste of time.

Got this story sent to me at my work e-mail:

There once was a King who offered a prize to the artist who would paint the best picture of peace. Many artists tried. The King looked at all the pictures, but there were only two he really liked, and he had to choose between them. One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for the peaceful towering mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy white clouds. All who saw this picture thought it was a perfect picture of peace. The second picture had mountains, too. But these were rugged and bare. Above was an angry sky from which rain fell, and in which lightening played. Down the side of the mountain tumbled a foaming waterfall. This did not look peaceful at all. But when the King looked, he saw behind the waterfall a tiny bush growing in a crack in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built her nest. There, in the midst of the rush of angry water, sat the mother bird on her nest...A picture of a perfect peace. Which of the pictures won the prize? The King chose the second picture. Do you know why? 'Because,' explained the King, 'peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all things and still be calm in your heart. That is the real meaning of peace.'(author unknown)

Unlike the imaginary psychological world in which the followers of Maharaji live...in this world questioning is encouraged. In the imaginary world of Maharaji questioning is is doubting. Doubting is against the commandments.

Some of the individuals who post on this site are deeply devoted to the cause of bringing down the fraudulent person who call himself Maharaji.

Oh, yeah, and remember what it is we are here for: to go sit in the corner for an hour each day and be thankful for Him, and the fact that he ain't giving away slushies. I don't believe there is such a thing as a free ride with this guy.

Is knowledge given without even a suggestion that gratitude is required?

Gratitude to the Maha is not just suggested - it's a pre-requisite.

Was nothing asked of you when you received knowledge? More than just 'staying in touch' I'll wager.

Even a 'free' lunch suggests/demands an element of gratitude.

And if you haven't got at least the potential for 'gratitude' - you ain't gonna get Knowledge.

You sound pretty seduced.

Someone I know asked if the upcoming broadcast 'cost' was required. They were told it isn't required if you can't afford it, i.e. it is required from all but the most destitute.

One thing that is required now for aspirants to 'receive Knowledge' is that they have a decent amount of income
coming in. Why? For the required 'keeping in touch' costs.
Another requirement is to promise to 'keep in touch'.

So required income + required 'keeping in touch' + required 'cost' means Knowledge costs money.

It's pretty simple.

Frankly, I'm not even sure if what Elan Vital/Maharaji is doing is legal. They are supposed to be a charity. They state on their web site that admission to events is free of charge. Then they turn around and charge. At the very least it's false advertising.

Do the premies that work to put together events donate their time, labor AND costs? And if so, do they still pay at the door?

I was never asked to pay at satellite events. I did, but only because I knew the local community had shelled out the dough for the equipment and its core of regulars ain't too big. I was but an aspirant though.

When you donate to a nonprofit you can use it as a write off. You can't write off donated labor normally, but you can probably write off business expenses which are donated (a business lunch about a donated service).

So, if one of the orgs were theoretically raising money for a jet, say, M could donate the money to a fund in order to get a theoretical jet which would then be his for all intents and purposes- and then write the money off of his taxes.

Kinda sick, ain't it?

Nonprofits are also eligible for grants from nonprofits who exist to fund worthwhile projects, but I doubt M's org(s) take advantage of this.

My somewhat educated guess is that there is an extremely erudite CPA firm in 'M's arsenal. This is the one thing that people who have lots of bread make sure they have going for them. The degree of his worth is so great by now that the CPA is not only a complete write off but can save him their fees over and over again.

It would be interesting to know who does his financial advising. I doubt if it is given to any premie. Anyone who could fall for the premie crap couldn't, in my opinion, have enough savvy to handle financial affairs of this magnitude.

CPAs are somewhat like prostitutes and lawyers in my opinion, they don't care who they work for or how they got their money just so the fee is paid.

Any short cut including foundations donating to foundations, non-profits donating to non-profits, trusts donating to trusts. There is probably so much of that going on that it would make your head swim. Makes me sick to think about that the creep ever got American citizenship so that he could shelter all of the donations and his extravagant life style behind the laws.

All kinds of business info is available as a matter of public record (and in fact quite a bit has been printed on earlier forums). The corporate stuff is the most damning info, IMO, because there's no denying the massive effort on the part of this man (boy?) to build a huge financial empire. We can rant and rave all we want, but the facts speak loudly for themselves. I think M was smart enough to figure out how to keep a lot of money even when he has consistently lost the most of his
followers throughout his 'career' in the West.

IMO, to make a legal case of any sort, the corporate info is the obvious place to look. I wonder how much it would take to dismantle his nonprofit status (i.e., to demonstrate how it serves his opulent lifestyle) or to unearth definitive evidence of financial impropriety (which is anecdotally fairly common-tales of money smuggling from old PAM's, etc.).

I really enjoyed it when Rajneesh couldn't find a country to let him in, but I'm not sure we'll ever have the pleasure of seeing Rawatt under similar circumstances. I'm resolved to live happily without seeing Rawatt go down, but it'd be nice!

He is hiding pretty safely at this time, most likely. Whenever you do as much cash business as he did in the 70s and early 80s skimming was probably pretty easy. Uncountable $20 and $100 dollar bills remain completely hidden once placed in the ever so conspicuous envelopes that were passed out on the way through the darshan line. The only difficulty is laundering those large sums of cash into legitimate investments.

This church non-profit status that he grabbed right away totally irks me. That is for organizations which actually do some kind of humanitarian work. Only thing I see him doing is making perfectly good people into mind mush.

The only strategy that I think would work would be to get some serious investigative journalist interested. Of course M is at a point in his career now that he could buy his way out of anything. The best lawyers, the best CPAs and accountants.

He is fairly untouchable unless public outrage can bring him down. Possibly a movie about his scheme would do well at the Sundance film festival. Unfortunately, I doubt if anyone on this list has the capital to get a major avalanche headed his way.

As far as I know the ritual of darshan doesn't exist any more.

Darshan, while not a violation of any law, is a freightening and repugnant expression of subservience. If a human being will bow and kiss the feet of another human being, at least to the western mindset, is an extreme, physical demonstration of psychological bondage and confusion. The repugnance is magnified
by the added practice of putting money in a basket prior to the demonstration of the subservience. The degree to which premies go to demonstrate their ignorance is amazing. Had someone the inclination and the resources to make a high quality multimedia expose production of this practice....and the resources to publicize the expose to the public at large.....It could certainly turn a few heads and send some charlatan into deeper hells than he has already created for himself.

Mr or Ms Premie,

If you read more of these posts you would not have said these people here have hate for other human beings or evil or something.

Some are angry and working stuff out. It'll get worked out.

I agree - if they didn't like something - like your food analogy - why not just walk away. Tho, Jim is hard to read bec of the sarcasm and all - this wasn't food at a restaurant. They gave their hearts - some in the purest sense - with hopes of spiritual peace - finally - it's been a long hard road this being created. They feel duped,frauded,betrayed. To walk away would be one advanced Buddhist I'd say. Anger is part of the process and if you have a therapist that hasn't encouraged that with you, find a new one. It's extremely healthy. After anger can come the healing.

No hidden meaning intended, Elaine, (that is your new moniker - formerly 'A Premie' - yes?)

I do tend to condense some of my replies to one-liners (nt=no text) for brevity's sake, and also because this Forum takes up enough of my time as it is, and opening every post on every thread just ain't possible for me. My guess is that other posters feel the same way, and if a reply can be summarised into the minimum verbiage necessary to get the message across, all well and good.

If last time I was a bit too brief to make myself clear, mea culpa, but the idea was quite simple in intent.

The poster who signs 'premie' made the suggestion that hate is a prime motivation for us exes. Now, I don't deny that anger is a key part of the de-programming process, and a very necessary part of being human that - for some reason - many premies tend to deny, or at least attempt to avoid. However, to call this place a 'hate-site', as some premies do, is far from true.

The correlation between the 'warning' sign and (for example) the ravine, was merely to put the idea across of there being no particular need for ANY kind of emotional 'party-line' toward the Maha, and that our posts here are primarily (and hopefully most effectively) simply a warning to others who might be tempted to 'surrender the reins of their life' to the Maha.

The process of recovering from cult involvement can be likened to climbing up that steep incline and getting back on the road again. And once you've done that, the least you can do is warn other road travellers of the dangers ahead.

Clearer, I hope?




(and how does a sign feel? ... useful, perhaps?)

Anger Triggers Harmful Chemical

It's already known that angry people are at a higher risk for heart disease, but a new study attempts to explain why.

Researchers at Ohio State University in Columbus say angry people have higher levels of a chemical called homocysteine, which has proved harmful to the heart. The new study is based on 33 women and 31 men, all healthy and not taking medications. They were questioned about their levels of hostility and anger, and samples of their blood were examined.

Those who reported more feelings of anger and hostility tested positive for higher homocysteine levels, researchers report in the April 28 issue of Life Sciences. Researchers found that participants who held in their anger had high homocysteine levels, too. Men had higher homoecysteine levels than women overall, and men also were more likely to bottle up their anger.

'These were healthy people with no known cardiovascular disease or major risk factors ... ,' says study co-author Catherine Stoney. 'One potential picture emerging from the current data is that men, particularly high-hostile men, have a ... nervous system that is always turned on, resulting in higher homocysteine levels.'

Homocysteine can damage the walls of arteries, which can contribute to the buildup of plaque, the fat that clogs arteries.

Actually, it is you 'devotees' and 'premies' who are as bad as racists, looking down on others and feeling special and apart from them. That's the real spiritual sickness you buy into and spread.

Alternatively...

...there are a lot better causes that you could be putting your time into, for example, human rights, conservation of natural resources, wildlife protection, global warming, gun control, wildlife protection, air pollution control, racial unity, or become a mentor to a child in need. Any of these things would be a better use of your time.

Racist? Now that hurts. But I have to tell you this isn't the first time. I play in a band and we have this one undevotional song (just one) called 'Bollywood'. It's like a punk bossa nova, light verse, heavy chorus, with lyrics like 'My guru came from Bollywood / And he won't go back / He must have done something right / 'Cause it looks like he's so fat'. Stuff like that. Anyway, one night we were playing in this bar and I introduced that song with a little explanation, mentioning the cult I used to be in. I'd actually had a few drinks and, much to my later embarassment, I actually said something about how I wasn't even supposed to touch my dick during the almost eight years I spent in the ashram.

So I'm introducing the song and I mention that it's about this 'fat little Indian fuck', meaning Maharaji of course. Now, you know, I'm not the least bit racist against Indians. Not at all. And I'm not against fat per se either. As I've bitched before, I've put on a few pounds of my own over the last year or two. But wouldn't you know it that the band we were playing with, the one fronted by the little pc raver chick, got all exercised over my comment, called us racists and cancelled their next gig with us (weenies!). God did that hurt!

So I don't know why I'm going on like this. Do you? Maybe it's just to assure you that ex-premies aren't racist. Honestly. You have my word on it. Get it? Word? Funny, eh?

This ones in the usual premie condescension mode. Unless it's just a personality switch due to the frustration of not being able to reach us with the ol' bullshit.

I feel sorry for you guys........Away with you !!!!! Don't feel sorry for us, feel sorry for yourself and other weak and weary wimps who get suckered in to the tellytubby trip!!

Hey Hal - I JUST finished posting you on that other 'Observer' thread issue when it went to inactive so didn't post at all.
So what I said was:

I agreed with you. Follow your own heart and the world would be a better place. Anytime someone like Observer suggests you look in the mirror or something I think now of Helen or Raina's statement regarding - any unsolicited advice is hostile - no matter how subtle.

This was just to let you know not ALL premies are robots.
Again, whatever floats your boat.
I find the Observer as obnoxious as the next ex that pushes stuff done your throat,BTW.

I, for one, commend you on knowing your heart and then following it. It's actually obvious your in touch with it due to your thoughtful posts. For me you have my respect more as an ex than a premie like Observer.

Not trying to start a war here.
And if you think I should use a name so not to confuse - advise me. I'm soliciting it.:)

Why not just use your own name. Basic honesty is a good start.

Jethro - you're a new one to me,hello.

If you have read any threads here w/ me in it - there's one w/ Jim where he asks basically the same thing. I said and still feel it - to my friends (premies or exes),yes. On an international Forum,no. For me it's a non-issue.((I think it's the thread above where Jim says he wouldn't want to be me - a good read,btw.)
Sorry.
And I'm being as honest as I can. You know posting w/ the name' a premie' isn't all that easy. If I want to just comment on something innocuous I get flak or no one seems to care because I'm a dreaded premie.
And whenever I post now I'll ease into Elaine B. With plenty of warning that I was 'A premie'.
Nice to 'meet' ya,
Elaine B.

It's impossible to tell actually. I'm starting to think that there could be just one premie on the forum at any one time. He/she can then give themselves as many personas, personalities and ways of writing as they wish. Some kind of weird game of musical chairs.
