I disowned my N mother

[tejaspear]

No shock value there, Lily. I posted quite a bit on the website where haters of Maharaji get together to bash and shock. Doesn't mean a thing to me anymore. I would post and defend Maharaji so well that the haters on that site started limiting my ability to post, for fear they were losing ground in their arguments. But that's in the past. I'm not bothering with it anymore. Like Maharaji says, if you like it, fine -- and if you don't like it, that's fine too.

Like I said, he saved my life -- my WILL TO LIVE -- and I have much gratitude for that. I have "been around" on and off since 1972 when I received Knowledge, went through years of not practicing and not speaking to anyone who even knew about him for six years. It was my Christian experiences that brought me back to practicing Knowledge. It has made me a much happier person and gives me what I need.

As long as there's no KoolAid or child abuse involved...

(I personally am appalled by fundamentalism or "special" mystical secrets that are only available to the elect who are in a "special" sect. Yet, I know people who have embraced the most rigid fundamentalist evangelical community and I am delighted for them. Because before that they were self-destructive drug addicts or living on the street or such. So Teja, if this community or belief system or sense of special mysteries and a guru has brought you the will to live...that's a good thing.)

You're living. Doesn't much matter what anyone thinks of the belief system that keeps you going. You're a nontoxic human being, and you are surviving.

Thanks, Hops.

No, it's not about special mysteries as much as it is about learning the VALUE of the techniques before practicing them so that they will be utilized. Anyone can have the techniques, and they are given for free. Please keep in mind that Lily has a bone to pick for whatever reason and is doing her best to debunk. I'm not even going to bother defending it anymore because I know that people will find what they are seeking -- whether they are seeking the good or the bad.

But yes, it works for me, and thanks for saying nice things about me.

Well hey, I could say a lot nicer than "nontoxic"!

You're very smart, eager to do good and see good, loving to your kids, quick to share insights, and willing to reveal yourself and your own struggles and learning, which strengthens others.

(Me anyway.)

thanks for being who you are.

Thanks, Hopalong. You have been a great help to me as well. Wonderfully supportive at a time that I have been really needing that!!!  I go through hours a day now without pain from the situation with Red Hawk and his N -- but still other hours that are just hard. And I'll never forget the first time I saw you post, when you did that wonderful post to Red Hawk, (which he may have never read). It really made me feel so SUPPORTED......!!!!!!!!!!!    So, thank you for being you too...!!!!

Hugs,

Lily, you might find the thread on Emotional Vampires interesting.

Like I said, I don't have much in the way of personal experience with Maharaji, and I am aware of those who attribute to him traits of an N in his personal life. For all I know, he may be an N. And if that is the case, I definitely would not want to be in a primary interpersonal relationship with him.

Anyhow, in that other thread we are talking about how some people who have been hurtful in their interpersonal relationships have also made great and positive changes for larger masses of people (such as Eleanor Roosevelt and others -- maybe Martin Luther King, Jr. too, but I can't remember as well now the downside of what has been revealed about him).

For N personalities that do have an effect on large numbers of people, I'm very appreciative when that work is truly for the Good. Obviously there have been many who have the N personality that have been terribly destructive -- such as Hitler, Jim Jones and others too current to mention.
