Just MUMBLED!

Melbourne mamma MUMBLED November 2, 2015
My kid went to the Maharishi School in Melbourne, Australia. We chose the school because we wanted a gentle, nurturing environment with high academic standards and individualised teaching (it is a really small school). What we got is outdated, poor quality teaching and a lot of cultish behaviour from staff and management who unthinkingly do what senior manag […]
Dr. Bevun Morus MUMBLED September 6, 2015
Maharishi would manipulate sexual encounters with his followers, this is well documented. Old Ru's in Fairfield try to follow his example. Students get raped and it gets swept under the rug. They inspire suicide after suicide after suicide. They are a death cult, criminals, murderers and they should be held accountable for the actions in a court of law.

As Maharishi Mahesh Yogi took the West by storm in the ’70s, 2,000 followers set up a university in Fairfield, Iowa. The town hasn't been the same since.

Historical Query about TM and Handling Distress June 15, 2017
I have some questions which I am hoping some of my fellow old-timers can help supplement my memory about TM teaching practices in the old days of the 1970’s. Beyond what is in the checking notes, did TM teachers receive any training or instruction about handling situations where meditators were experiencing significant physical or psychological problems? W […]

TM, Maheshism: cult, NRM and get-rich-quick scheme April 7, 2017
I learned TM in 1968. I spent two years as one of Mahesh's secretaries. Then, I abandoned TM/Mahesh in 1976 (or thereabouts). I learned a lot and came away not as damaged as many I knew and observed. So between then and now, I have given my life-experience some consideration.Yes, to begin, I am well aware that many claimed and a few demonstrated that TM […]

last few hours of 2016 plus one second December 31, 2016
It's been a long journey. Having learned TM in 1968, I quit in 1978, I wrote on this Blog for a while in the early 21st century (!) and now it all seems like a memorable film. For some I knew, TM seems to have done some substantial damage, or rather, Mahesh's misuse of TM seems to have done some substantial damage - for others, maybe not so much — […]

HOW I MADE THE MANTRA GO AWAY July 6, 2016
one of our readers has sent us his TM story: HOW I MADE THE MANTRA GO AWAYby Dave H.When I tell my friends that I once was involved with a cult, their eyes get wide and their response is generally, “You?” And then they want the details.So I tell them that I was one of those people who got caught up in Transcendental Meditation when it was sweeping the U.S.A.

Book Review: "The Secret of the Mantras" by Richard Blakely February 10, 2016
I just finished reading "The Secret of the Mantras" by Richard Blakely, and I highly recommend it. This memoir of a baby boomer growing up in the U.S. and moving to France in time for the student uprisings of 1968 includes a 3-month TM Teacher Training course in Rishikesh, India with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and the Beatles. What a fun read! What a […]

The Dream Tiger January 9, 2016
Several decades ago, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi gave the following comment (paraphrased here) on one of my courses: "If a person has a dream that a tiger is chasing him, it doesn't help him at all that under his pillow he has a gun. A waking-state gun is no protection against a dream-state tiger. Likewise, if a real tiger is attacking, it doesn' […]

Conversation with an Exit Counselor, 1987 December 16, 2015
I've been cleaning out my files, and I came upon notes from my conversation with an exit counselor back in 1987. I hope you will enjoy reading some of his comments: "Of all the groups I have dealt with, some of the most severe casualties have been in TM. This is in direct contradiction to TM publicity. Meditation techniques are not appropriate f […]
