Message:
Hello Everyone!

First, I want to clarify that I now go by the name Cynthia. When people knew me as a premie I went by the nickname Cindy. I was a singer in the Hartford premie band--service galore!!!

I hope any of you out in CA are safe.

I recently heard some info about the new CASTLE on the Malibu bluff:

An old premie who's been at the HOLIEST RESIDENCE THIS SIDE OF FOREVER for the past
7 or 8 years (as a slave contractor) recently returned to Conn. I want to protect his privacy so I won't reveal his name (pun intended) . The premie said it was time for him to leave and return to his home state. He told the hartford premies (my sister told me about this) that the new residence is huge...you all know that. The music studio is larger than the whole previous residence!!! If you've listened to m's original music, (especially on his website) he needs more than a studio to develop his musical talents. Plus, he uses computerized music programs, which I, as a musician, believe is nothing but CHEATING--BY REAL MUSIC TALENT STANDARDS!!! I digress.

The premie from the PALACE said the new place on the bluff is built to withstand an earthquake magnitude of 47 on the Ricter scale!!!

When I told my husband Tom that, he said, there's not such thing as 47 on the ricter scale, what does he think, that the earth will separate and his estate will float like a boat in the Pacific? Tom also said that if a 47 level earthquake hit, the whole earth would probably explode or implode, whatever. I thought my hubby's choice of the word 'boat' was very apt considering he's not a premie and has no knowledge about the big boat era.

Anyway, I want a big house too. Do you think if I email m that he'll co-sign a loan for me so I can buy a house?

Love to all, Cynthia

PS This website is wonderful. there is a big difference between not practicing k and coming to the realization I was in a cult. BIG DIFFERENCE!!! Bye....

Alright, the end times are near! Gonna head up to Ruby Ridge and wait it out.

Anyway, I've heard from my sources on the hill that the Rez was built to withstand a magnitude 9 earthquake. I believe the largest earthquake was a 9.7 somewhere in or near South America in 1827. The 1907 San Francisco earthquake was a 7.4, the 1989 San Francisco earthquake was 7.1 and the Northridege January 17, 1994, was a 6.7-magnitude quake.

Hey, I've finally got a better satellite image of the Rez

You probably cannot even imagine what a 9.7 would be like. I was in a 5.3 once and it was just a little strange. So, for Maharaji's house to withstand a 9.0 would mean that hell would be breaking out and swallowing everything except his house. The ridge that his house sits on would probably crumble before the house does.

It was a 7.0 quake and it hit southern California. Luckily, the epicenter was out in the desert, so there wasn't the major damage we'd get if it was in a more populous area.

Sorry for all the EQ jokes yesterday everyone.

Subject: Richter scale
Message:
Hi Cynthia -
The Richter scale is a log scale - in other words a Richter 7 earthquake is 10 times greater than a Richter 6 earthquake, and a Richter 8 is 10 times greater than a Richter 7. Your husband is right about a Richter 47 earthquake being laughable (I think the strongest quake ever measured was over 9 - not sure about this, though). Maybe the guy meant Richter 4.7 (which is a fairly small quake)?

All I can say is this is typical Maharaji-brand science! Sheesh!
Take care,
Katie

I'm absolutely SURE that 47 on the Richter scale is what was stated. My hubby explained the log scale to me this morning while we were watching CNN. Sheesh, is right.

Subject: I apologize
Message:
Well yes I've done it. I've finally done something so utterly stupid and even worse, in a public setting, that I now have no choice but to take a good look at my actions, their effects and consequences and apologize big time...that is not only for the use of certain language, but for attacking grrlzone in the way that I did when she came to this forum and started posting. Even had I used more civilized language and a less brutal tone in my post...ANY attack against her by ANYONE was so totally uncalled for, I truly can't express my regret that I now bear the responsibility of having been the first.

I say that because its quite obvious to me that last nite she was may have been even more savagely attacked here by the premie trolls...Deputy Dog in particular...and I can't help but wonder to what extent I may have facilitated this sort of thing happening by virtue of my own conduct here on this forum...where I have previously attacked posters and challenged them on their legitimacy.

In a way I suppose it could be said that I set myself up to be the resident 'EX-Deputy Dog' or read: 'the guardian of the forum's purity and virtue in the face of the trickery and machinations of m and his premie geeks who would attempt to infiltrate , co-opt or even sabotage our discussions on these pages.'

The truth is, that while I may have certain ideas and theories on the subject...I now have to admit that I really can't put together a total picture and have no right to set myself up as an expert as to what kind of intelligence operation m is attempting to pull off on this forum. I may have certain 'tidbits of information', and loads of theories...but certainly NOTHING that could be proven.

And the record of my ill chosen service on this forum is disastrous...I've been wrong everytime.

As a result,I am packing it in on that role and hope to be able to contribute in a more appreciably positive mannerin other ways.

But quite obviously there are apologies that are in order...big time apologies.

First of all to grrlzone.

I had no right to attack you at all. I was responding to certain triggers that I saw existing in your post, that probably weren't even there at all. By that I mean the triggers are within me...and without even thinking, I allowed them to trigger me off in a senseless cyber attack against you.

I did mention to you previously that you 'reminded me of someone', but I realize that even that constites no excuse. If there's a lesson that I have to learn from this...its that I simply have to make more of an effort to see things for what they are and examine my own thinking a little more. If I fail to do this I may indeed end up living my life in a 'hall of mirrors' as a friend recently suggested.

I had no idea at the time, that you were the very same Abi whose story in your email to him as it was relayed on the form by Anthe, really just captivated so many as it was so honest and genuinely moving.

That you chose to come here and now participate directly in our discussions, and be met by what in hindsight I can only call my wingnut reception makes the embarrassment and reget even worse for me to bear.

I apologize sincerely and hope that with what you experienced a couple days ago with myself and last nite with the likes of 'deputy dog', that you won't be diswayed in hanging in there with all the genuine exes who really do appreciate you bringing your presence onto this forum...and I also hope that you can consider me one of them.

(And BTW, I certainly can't speak for deputy dog, but I CAN speak for myself.)

Hey Joey and all,

I was away for a few days and I came back to all these wonderful openhearted apologies and acceptances of apologies. A very awarm and fuzzy thread, the kind of thread that makes great sweaters to keep us warm throughout the cold months to come. More heartfelt talk, any subject but let's keep it heartfelt. Is it just me, or does it feel better to everyone else too?

By the way, I am an individual free agent and free spirit, with or wihout Knowledge, premie or ex-premie, I am a free person and come here as such. No strings.

Sincerely and actually,

Dog,

Somehow you keep striking me as someone I'd actually like if we knew each other. You know, it's pretty hard to think that about most of the premies who drop in here. They're either complete assholes like Url or well .. um .. kind of funny like Chris. You, on the other and, just seem like a decent guy who just happens to be stuck in a cult, that's all.

Now, here's why you got into that nasty situation with Abi, in my on-again-off-again-humble-(depends-on-what-kind-of-week-it's-been) opinion: you're on the fatally doomed side of this whole m argument. You're truly like the son of some tobacco company executive. Victory, for you, in any of these discussions, is all on the margin. The hamster's so amazingly indefensible that apologists like you have to content themselves with trying to chip away at the criticisms. Require a bit more evidence. Wrestle a bit with terminology. Send us exes on wild goose chases looking for this quote or that. Deny common sense and reasonable interpretation of events. That's the way the apologist's game's played. Too bad for you you're on that side. It must make you flinch a bit, I'd say. It does, doesn't it?

No, really, that was quite something, the whole thing, and I'm glad it's come to this point. There's a lot to be suspicious of in Maharaji's World but, in almost all cases, I think we can all trust each other. And if the cult sets up some sort of cloak and dagger bullshit, complete with fake exes and disinformation, well, whatever. Fuck 'em, really. We've got nothing to worry about any longer. All those years of worrying about our 'devotion'? About our 'sincerity'? About the 'world' we were forced to leave behind? They're over. We can relax now.

Being a premie is an amazingly tense way to live a life. Like someone said on ELK the other day, if you're 'conscious' life's magic, if you're not, it's garbage. Yeah? Well that's garbage and fortunately we're free of it. I hope you can enjoy relaxing a bit now yourself. You really do deserve it.

And you're right...I CAN relax. I think if anyone should be sweating it now...it really ISN'T exes who are passionate that the truth come out...its those who would want to prevent it from coming out.

And thanks for being a friend in some tough times, when you felt no choice but to defend one friend from the totally senseless attack of another. And to stand up for what you KNEW to be right.

You've been a friend right from the very beginning when we had our own three hour conversation on the phone and the several we've had since. You've always been all there, a tremendous conversationalist...someone who loves to hear someone else making their point, but who loves to make his own as well in response. And definitely does!

And so if I had some tough ones to learn here, well I'm glad it was you pointing some very important messages my way.

And most of all I'm glad we're still friends.

No, I didn't take it seriously but that's not the point.

This Cat guy is a creep of the first order. His entire character here stars and ends with spam and there's nothing but spam in between. Now Joey posts what must have been a extremely important and likely tender message for himself and others and this motherfucking piece of shit replies as he always does, by puking all over.

Only a British person would know who Johnny Morris was; that he was a presenter of animal programmes on British TV back in the seventies.

The person calling himself Johnny Morris is using a specific computer program to change his web browser info which you see in his posts. Less than a handful of people who post here know about that program and Catweasel wasn't party to that info.

The method of embedding the sound link has only been used by one person on this or the AG forum. That person was the being who called himself Rob.

Of course I knew that. I KNOW everything!

Yes, when I first got into computers (mainframes) at skool there was a helpdesk at that computer lab that was only open for a few hours a day. I would stand in a queue for a good half hour and then try to ask my question as nice as I could to this really nerdy guy who didn't like me. He'd think a bit and then say 'dunno'. Well, eventually I became quite profecient on that mainframe except for the time a I launched a job that ran tapes and it would ask the tape monkey to load a tape and then abort and then ask the tape monkey to load the same tape in the next tape drive and on through all 8 tapes drives.

And then I worked on PCs and became an expert in MS-DOS and then came Windows and Windows NT and then came the Internet. Yes, the expertise quickly becomes obsolete and useless. I have suffered much to learn this temporary fadish jargon only to see it become obsolete. The only redeeming value is being able to tell horrible war stories.

It's the largest Tower of Babel ever made. But, now Bill Gates is in charge and he will show us the road ahead. And from what I have heard Bill ain't a real nice guy, but he does like porno or at least he did before he got married. Yup, lot's of ego involved in this bullshit. Now I'm in trouble.

I am very touched by this.

Joey, before the whole girlzone thing broke loose I was trying to understand how someone who was so clearly bright and thoughtful could also be the person who had so nastily attacked so many posters here who I admire and care about. I did not get it. There is so clearly so much good in you how could it be?

then the Girlzone thing. I concluded, this guy must be nuts, or two guys?

I really like what you have said here. I hope that you really have learned what it appears you have learned from the whole experience.

I hate the aspect of the net that leaves us so wide open to deception. It is just impossible to completely guard against it. I think for us ex premies, this desire to not be decieved is pretty damn strong, as look how terribly decieved and fooled we were by the Guru. It is no wonder this is an Achilles heel for us.

But like I said to the Dog, without this imperfect medium of the net we never would have eachother. I know I have understood a lot about my years in the cult and how it affected me that I never would have known without a modem. It is a shame it doesn't work better than it does at letting us know who to trust or not but it has huge limitations. We do our best with them.

Joey, I am glad you are sticking around. I thought you might leave after this latest fiasco. It would be great to see things perhaps improve for everyone after this.

I had already realized last nite that it was really important for me to clear all of this as quickly as possible. I decided to sleep on it , then this morning when I turned the forum on...I saw that deputy dog had been by to drop his own number on girlzone and I felt that with so many premie trolls capable of terrorizing our discussions here, I really ought hang it up in terms of being the resident 'ex troll', no matter how noble I felt my cause had been.
This feels better, and hopefully it'll result in the kind of posts you've enjoyed reading...as opposed to the ones that may have left you feeling ill. There are more than a few, I wish I could have back.

Its great to be on the same page with you Susan...and you know damn well that with what you've had to share with us here... you're certainly NO sap. Far from it.

barney,

IF my apology to grrlzone is certainly in order then I owe you one as well and again...bigtime.

Not only did I allow picky uny considerations get into the way of us having a more contructive relationship as fellow posters on this forum, perhaps even friends,but even worse I allowed information that came to me from a source that I now have no choice but to consider as having just about zero credibility... spur me on to launch those attacks against you ,one bright sunny morning when you and Jim were so blissfully having your cyber 'breakfast in bed' :) and then again some seven or eight days later with my infamous and ill conceived attack against from the 'internet cafe'.

And I do ask you to consider that while I DID feel that certain differences existed between us, and I had certain suspicions, I really do believe that I was on a path of resolving them in a different fashion when I unfortunately allowed myself to be manipulated by what even now remains nothing more than unsubstantiated allegations and insinuations, and from a source whom again most would consider as having zero credibility.

And again in my almost fanatical zealoutry,and I guess the cult was a good place to pick that up, (ashram, Amtext and all)...I failed to think things through and just fired away without properly considering the consequences of my actions.

You've chosen to participate in this forum in a major way and your contribution has been amazing. Not only in terms of what you've added to our little cyber community of exes by means of your Drek alter ego and the 'House of Maharaji Drek', but with many an awseome post here on the forum pages, exposing the cult for what is.

You've shown alot of empathy with many who have told their stories here on the forum and you've given them your support. You really don't deserve any cloud hanging over your head and I hope this apology really clears the air on this matter once and for all (that is if it isn't already clear).

Again, anything that I may have alleged against you on these pages was and remains entiely groundless and unsubtantiated. And therefore totally false and untrue.

What DOES remain true is that you've become a big part of our ex community here in cyber space and your contribution appreciated by many.

I hope you can consider my apology to you genuine and know that I welcome the opportunity to be on the same page with you...both of us nothing more and nothing less than genuine exes, who find our participation in this forum very meaningful and rewarding.

And i do wish you the best,

Joey

My apology to YOU is long overdue, and so its really your acceptance of it that's 'gentlemanly.' As far as the rough treatment goes...I'm still here and you had just cause and very little choice but to defend yourself in the way that you did.

Yes I do think that things can sometimes get a little confusing in this medium. The internet bears great potential for deceipt. We're here dealing with the subject of cults, specifically our own stinking little cult, and of course we both know how much deception IT'S based on. So we're really here in this intersection of these two phenomena...cults and the internet...and both of them being so marked by characteristics of deceipt. For anyone who wants to get onto it, you can literally spin your head trying to figure how m and his dweebs could be trying to screw us up. Its playing THEIR game and really doesn't serve our purpose.
And again who cares??...WE'RE speaking the truth here....so there's no reason why any ex should feel uptight in participating.

Anyway, I am glad that you are back contributing to the Forum with your powerful posts.

Again, considerably gracious of you, especially when you consider my last 'powerful' post(I'm thinking of the one to grrlzone in particular) was directed at the wrong person,at the wrong time, for the wrong reason, and in the wrong way. So much for 'powerful' posts. Perhaps little less power, and a little more thinking and relection.

Well, like grrlzone says...'learn and live'.

I'm really glad Joey apologized; that whole situation left a bad taste in my mouth and I think the mouths of others. Thanks, Joey, that was a classy thing to do.

But on another point (OT), when you post those great sound items, they end up being an icon on my computer screen every time. I now have about 8. How do I get rid of them?

I also saw that Cynthia posted a sound item and it didn't download onto my computer. In the future, can you do it the same way?

By the way, Mommie Dearest is one of my all-time favorite campy movies. Hearing Faye Dunaway doing a 'don't fuck with me boys' Joan Crawford is too great. I plan on saving that one. Do you have the part of that movie where Joan Crawford is on top of her daughter on the floor choaking her and then says 'Barbara, please.....?' I love that part.

[By the way, for a really good time, go see Mommie Dearest at the Castro Theater in San Francisco with a bunch of raving queens. I don't believe I have ever laughed so hard.]

Yes, it's definitely Mommie Dearest. It's in the scene where the Board of Directors of Pepsi Cola wants to ease her out of her deceased husband's board position. She threatens to undertake an advertising campaign to turn people off Pepsi, and the board members relent.

Actually Barney, it's not drag queens at the Castro, just queens, and a lot of other people too. A couple of years ago there was a holiday program there called 'Christmas With the Crawfords.' There was a live interview with Christina Crawford and then they showed Mommie Dearest. That movie is hysterical -- it's kind of like a 50s horror film. Faye Dunaway has never been able to live that role down because the film has become a cult classic.

Ah, Mommie Dearest it is then. Gosh, I was hoping that the screenings of M.D. at the Castro would be like Rocky Horror with people in costume like in drag made out to look like Joan and maybe a few Bette Davis' too.

It occured to me that the reason you ending up getting links to the sounds is because you've got your browser configured not to automatically play sounds. Then you end up maybe getting a dialog that asks whether to download to file or Open the file. I've got my IE 4.02 browser set to automatically play sounds and other multimedia.

In IE you go to the menu bar VIEW, Internet Options, the Advanced Tab and scroll down to Multimedia and enable those options. I'm not sure what it is for Netscape, but I'm sure there a way.

I'm not sure if turning these Multimedia options OFF stops the files from coming to your computer - probably??? And you might want them off if your connection to the Internet is slow as most of these files can be very large.

Marianne,

That thing spooked the hell out of me. I read the book too. Only later did I learn how common these traits are in women.

BY the way, a funny item showed up in the Vancouver Sun yesterday. This ... guy (?) successfully prosecuted a lesbian organization here for not letting him join. He got three thousand bucks (only Canadian) from the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal. Apparently, the guy is a trans-sexual who refuses to have the operation because he doesn't think of himself as a woman. As his lawyer explained, 'woman' is an artificial construct of our patrio-stereo-romeotyping culture. No, he's a 'female' instead and thus should be granted admission to the lesbian group. The tribunal agreed!

The lawsuit makes total sense to me! Can gay people marry in Canada? If the Human Rights Tribunal agreed with this lawsuit, then they should sanction gay marriage -- as well they should.

I loved the movie because it showed that someone can appear to be perfect but in fact the person is utmost evil. Ring any bells applicable to the Forum? I was fascinated by the movie as a kid and watched it over and over. The other movie with which I was obsessed as a kid was 'The Song of Bernadette', good Catholic girl that I was. When I go to Europe to teach next year, I am going to visit the shrine to St. Bernadette at Lourdes. I'll be sure to mention Darwin to her when I go there!

Well Robyn what can I say? I certainly didn't want to have anything to do with those 'triggers', and as far as my 'dismissing' you goes...what else was there for me to do? I really found it hard to deal with the fact that my actions had caused a fallout with others and it really bothered me that indirectly , you yourself were feeling personally hurt by what was going on. I didn't want that to happen, but it did and ultimately I had to accept my part in bringing that unfortunate time into this space that we all share here on the forum.

A space that you always make a little sweeter, kinder , and gentler in the most genuine of ways.

I am so glad that whatever it was that made you see yourself clearly happened. Truly a gift in your life, I think.

I think we can say that the gift in this case is 'friends'.
Friends who care, who are willing to listen and who WON'T spin your head around but tell you what they honestly feel has to be said.

Right now, its really THAT I see as being the 'gift' in this situation.

And thank you Robyn for being a friend
and all the best to you,

Joey

Marianne,

I owe you an apology as well for on more than one occasion, I've treated you rather contemtuosly on these pages.

And in your case, it may have been nothing more than allowing myself to be influenced and even manipulated by the groundless and unsubstantiated speculation and suspicions of a certain third party....and nothing more , nothing less.

I apologize for those posts where I directed a totally unwarranted anger at you.

Your contribution here on these pages, like barney's has been much appreciated by many and I feel that this apology is overdue.

To Denise as well, wherever she may be:), I'd like to say that I apologize for my relentless 'stalking' of you on forum 3 and going beyond the bounds of merely questioning what you were saying, but questioning YOU personally in terms of your personality integrity. It was a pointless exercize that I now regret as well.

I was wrong to think you were anything but that which you claimed to be. And if in the process of being with us, you chose to become a ex, then all I can say is that it would be great to have you share your perspective with us once more on this forum.

Then again maybe you've already chosen to do so:)
And may the GRACE be with you:::))

Love to you both,

Joey

I've already apologized to Jim for certain regrettable statements that were nothing more than low shots fired awy in the heat of battle...a battle that shouldn't have even been fought.

This was done during the course of a couple of telephone conversations where he graciously accepted my apology, as did his girlfriend Laurie.

But I have to make one more apology, and that would be anyone who found themselves traumatized by my 'outbursts' on the forum and their aftermaths.

I believe that the forum should be a place where we should all feel confortable in expressing ourselves and like I've already acknowledged, my actions at times, certainly haven't helped that process.

I hope the genuine regrets expressed that I've expressed to grrlzone, barney , Marianne and Denise, along with my retirement from my self appointed role as the 'guardian of the forum's purity and integrity'... will serve if even in a small way to make others a little more comfortable with their participation here.

I've received alot of support and information here which has been incredibly valuable to me personally in my exiting and breaking free from the cult....and I hope that the forum can continue to offer that to people as long as its necessary.

And I really look forward to supporting that process in the future and not sabotaging it.

IMHO, the whole mess was truly a tangled web, and so many of us got stuck in it. It was a learning experience for me - I have a tendency to over-involvement anyway - and I know that, although I tried to deal with the situation to the best of my ability, I didn't always do the greatest job. Anyway, I really appreciate you taking the initative to straighten things out on Forum IV.

Hi bb,

I suppose, as he thinks he's the Lord of All, he's responsible for the creation and, by definition, our very lives. So he thinks we should be grateful, him being God and all.

Trouble is, when you realise he ain't the Lord of All, he's only the Lord of a dwindling, introverted, well past its sell-by date little cult, the perspective changes.

So, I suppose I should be grateful for the two second hand shirts, the second hand cashmere sweater, the new leather belt, second hand silk tie and new silk tie with matching hankerchief, plus the odd snack from his kitchen.

I've a suspicion Marilyn was responsible for those, but what the hell, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

Thanks for the cast-offs Maharaji.

Message:
In case you are spooked by the financial markets,
here is the deal in a nutshell.

Our CURRENT monetary system is not based on debt,
it is based on the premise that debt must continue
to expand. If the amount of debt remained constant, then the money supply would effectively
decrease due to the need to pay interest on the
existing debt. As the amount of money available
for spending and investment decreased, the prices
of the assets underpinning the debt would fall.
As the reduction in money cupply continued, the value of the assets would eventually fall
below the value of the associated liabilites (debt), leading to financial failures on a grand
scale. If the amount of debt (money) in the
system ceases to expand, a very lengthy and
painful cleansing process would commence.

If debt must continue to expand to prevent a
financial crisis, then anything that curtails
the ability of the system to create more debt
must be dealt with and controlled.

Greenspan has some rough choices before him,
LOWER the interest rates, to save the 50
trillion plus interest rate derivitives market
from a debt crunch disaster, but the dollar
is in trouble, with our neighbors, the other
governments whom we pass our debt to while
we buy all thier products.

This endless debt game is workable for a while,
but like the Tulip disaster in Holland some
centuries ago, at one point who can keep providing
the money?

There was a interesting example of this in Quatar
in the oil rich gulf, they were dirt poor,
then came oil, then they started thier own
stock market, companies were 'listed' on their
stock market that were just local businesses!
One former driver, (I mean that was his job),
ended up having 40 BILLION dollars of net worth!
Then in mid summer, the market just stopped!
Everyone just somehow realized it was based on
nothing real. Joes delivery shop, with 2 trucks,
isnt worth billions! Like one spectacular Tulip
isnt worth over a million Guilders in Holland
centuries ago. What is the basis of worth in a
tulip? If we all agree there is worth, we can
bid the price up and up but....

Since the new religion of endless debt became
convenient and came in a way that seemed
sensible and brilliant, and landed it's prophets
in the US governments top financial jobs,
treasury and fed, we have benefitted from the
vast increase of money. Benefitted is certainly
an understatement. Too bad most americans now
live leveraged out on a limb also, because
turns out that the OLD religion, when gold
and silver meant something and were used to
balance excess and provide solidity to nations
dealings, hasnt died the death of smothering
that the new religion has tried vigorously
to execute.

(since this is a religious topic, maybe it isnt
off topic!)

Anyway, the new religon is desperately trying to
STILL kill off gold and silver by massive
manipulation of the price of gold and silver,
trying to keep it low.
However, SOME other nations, deep as they are in the mess that we have here, are trying to get on
thier own footing and break away as carefully,
but as much as they can from the present
--experiment-- in endless debt with no basis
but precarious derivitives and what not.

Gold will bounce between 225-330 for a while
because that is the decision of the huge money
guys trapped and yet refuseing to die. (not that
I blame them, all of us will be hurt)
However, the game is a classic financial bubble
and the old monetary system will come back.
Thier new religion might have lasted longer if
they had known how to figure in human nature and
imbalances in the structure they set up, on the
bright side, we have had a very large ride and
much good was done to the lifestyles of billions.

The fundamentals are going to change.
No stopping it, although the pain will be delayed
because all the players dont even see it yet
and even those that do are blinking in
disbelief, it cant be, and they immerse themselves
in a new religion 'satsang' and see the other
members of the debt cult still singing
'Hare greenspan, greenspan greenspan'
and will see the infusion of vast new debt into
the system in the next few months propelling it
on, but, it is just more speed off the cliff.

Nice velocity on the way down!
'I feel the wind of an enourmous injection of
new money!!!!'

Yet, the small family, no thrill for them, their
lives are about to be upended by the mismanagment
of the greatest money machine the humans ever
made. How typical of us! Put a bug in the
computers and forget it, and take a supurb
economy, (with ups and downs, no problem there,)
and hallucinate a road of unlimited riches.

Nice, real nice.
Anyway, here is the investment I am reccomending,
ECU Silver Mining.

I know we are cult members left hardly better than
former heroin addicts, but get out of debt,
take your money and invest it there and you
will make out ok.

By the way, dont expect to read anything like this
in any available source until after the fact.
Todays new york times didnt have a peep about
ANYTHING. All just bhole shri's and new
financial debt religion 'satsang'.

Even those that know arent in any mood to
get anyone makeing it worse by reacting before
THEY can try and get thier money safe.

It's unfortunate, but, blame the DNA or the
buddhist wheel of life! Blame the 'oneness'!
Cant blame god right? He doesnt exist, OR he is
all love right?
'the devil knows not for whom he works' comes to
mind.

Goodnight!

Hi JHB,
NO, the argument doesnt fail on that point.
Again, it was a nutshell of the situation, and so
elaborations on points are on an as needed basis.

Look at japan at the top of it's bubble,
gov't running significant budget surplus, confidence
running high, retail sales growing 10%, economy growing 5%,
corp. profits in double digets, consumer price inflation
nonexistant. The bubble, credit bubble, in real estate
and elsewhere, collapsed. Interest rates at less than 1%
and still they struggle.

America has a different type of credit bubble, and vastly
larger. The fed's 3 interest rate cuts and fannie mae
and freedie mac and banks were vigorous partners in
reliquifying the system this last year.
The massive security boom represented only a short term
fix to provide the appearance of stability.
Who will keep buying all the securities for sale as
firms struggle to keep themselves in good shape and
who will bail out the dollar? The derivitives tied to
the interest rates and gold and silver are in danger
and the overhang of securities is like a credit monster
that cannot be fed in degrading conditions in its super
vast state. Credit excesses are to blame for the
dangerous conditions and the fed is over it's head.

The decline that follows a credit induced bubble is
very dependent on the the extent of the bubble that
precedes it. The credit bubble we now have is too vast
to hope for a smooth landing with 'three days of prep'
style effects.
It will get more and unlimited liquidity for a while
during this period in the hopeless effort to avoid
the future, but, the future will arrive.

We are hemmorageing money defending the gold price.
Tell me why.

DD: You have just insulted both Susan and Abi/grrlzone below. Then you made a bunch of trite, simplistic comments to others. You owe Susan and Abi an apology. What about Jagdeo, Dog? Aren't you concerned about what he did and may still be doing? Do you have children? How long have you been a premie? Do you have sisters? Daughters? Are you a female? Have you no shame? I thought you were decent, but your carefree insult spree after heaping verbal abuse upon Abi and Susan has convinced me otherwise. Jerk!

I have heard and used the phrase innocent until proven guilty many times. Until lately I never knew how the phrase might make someone who knows someone is guilty and was hurt by that person feel.

It makes you feel like you are not believed.

I know that we have a presumption of innocence in our courts and that is probably a good thing. In my life I try to give people the benefit of the doubt. But, people who cannot be 'proven' guilty are often factually guilty. It just depends on how well they covered their tracks, scared their victims or how well they were protected.

I certainly will never use the phrase again to a person who may have been hurt by the one who I cannot 'prove' is guilty.

Susan, et al:

Jagdeo is 'innocent until proven guilty' in the eyes of the law, purely in the sense that he hasn't been convicted in criminal court. That doesn't mean that he isn't guilty, or even that he hasn't been proved guilty with regard to some preventive standard. There seems ample evidence against him, certainly enough to warrant taking some preventive action to ensure that he doesn't harm others. So, for these purposes the phrase 'innocent until proven guilty' is not relevant. He's a child molester, to a high level of certitude.

That's both alarming and pathetic, given his spiritual charge. It is also far too typical of people who supposedly have high spiritual credentials, like Sai Baba. Wonder what's up with that?

Well I'll tell you what I'm wondering...I'm wondering if two wrongs make a right.

The constant premie referals in this issue to cases of sexual abuse that have occurred elsewhere, does in no way minimize what has happened in our own stinking little cult.
It doesn't excuse Jagdeo, nor does it excuse m whom for his own selfish reasons and nothing else, decided to sweep the issue under the carpet.

And of course, reprehensible as it is...he's attempting to do the same thing today.
Maharaji has learned nothing, and he hasn't changed.

DD: I did read your response to me. I also read your post that said 'No one tells me what to do'. I read that you had kids. Sorry, but none of that excuses your behavior tonight. If Susan or Abi was one of your daughters, you would feel the same way. They are my dear friends, and it is my obligation to defend them.

The fact that DLM/EV has done nothing to deal with the Jagdeo issue makes me more and more angry as the days pass. He is innocent til proven guilty, just like M, who legally is considered to be responsible for his actions. Why the silence in the face of these accusations?

And no DD, you can't be a jerk to my friends this night even when you've had a bad week. Make others suffer, not them.

Yes, that's right. Just called up the local cult info line and that was the news. Special event this weekend to talk it up. Me suspects that more funds will be necessary in order to make ready for this Spring event. Then, I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't happen.. Sorry, no refunds.

THE BLOTU will also be scamming India this Nov. as well.

This info plus the Visions mailer indicates major cash crisis AGAIN!

Hi Enough! Oh, I love the supposition that Rotwat is potentially having money troubles. Maybe people really did quit sending money because of Jagdeo... Hope springs eternal! Maybe he's trying to build up a defense fund...

I recall that you were here for Loma Prieta on Oct. 17, 1989, just like Ben. The local papers are full of EQ stuff and crystal ball gazing about the next Big One. Will be thinking of you and Ben on Sunday.

I always look for your posts, too, Enough. Love that moniker.

Love, Marianne

It's been 10 years? Funny how we relate to time. It is rather blank for the first 7 and then my escape from the cult.

Do you live in the City? What's left of my family is down in Burlingame/ San Mateo?
