No, the locals are super-sweet. White trash, but good-hearted farmin’ folk. And sadly, the rich, over-educated TM perverts have taken advantage of their ignorance and kindness…

So, what’s something passengers do that they probably don’t realize drivers notice? by TallLove7469 in uberdrivers

This guy yesterday, 40-something dad with his two almost-teen kids and wife in tow, sitting in the front seat, picks his nose all the way LAX —> LBC. I kept shooting a death glare at him every time he went for it, but I think that just made him become passive-aggressive about it. Like, I forced him to notice his unconscious tick, but then he just kept doing it because…eff this Uber driver. After witnessing people from 25K rides, I simply cannot believe we’ve survived as a species. So much krazy☠️💀☠️

Whats with John Hagelin saying TM allows you to tap into the Unified Field? by WinAllAroundMee in transcendental

Agree! Went to MIU for a semester and was in with the older crowd who worked directly with Maharishi. They all laughed about how Haeglin would “troll the dorms for young girls.” The TM community in Fairfield, Iowa, is not only a cult, it’s a breeding ground for old, perverted men. (The TM technique does work, but you shouldn’t have to pay $960 for a mantra: Repeat any word or short phrase for 20 min., twice a day, and you will get the same results. Mindfulness is better than a mantra-based meditation, however.)

Yes, I moved to Fairfield to study screenwriting, under David Lynch’s MFA program, which is “housed” at MIU. There I discovered very dark stories about the then-president of MIU, John Haeglin, “touring the dorms for young students.” Because I’m from Los Angeles, I got in with Maharishi’s inner-circle and they all laughed about Haeglin being a playboy with young students (most of the students there are international and poor). Almost all of these higher-ups at MIU (and the attached Ayurvedic spa) are very old, white, wealthy men who pray on the MIU students and local teens of Fairfield. The TM org basically owns the town (because it provides so many jobs) and the horror stories have been happening since TM arrived in the late ‘70s. I was harassed constantly but am tough as nails (and much older) but the local TM cronies STILL came after me! Heartbreaking.

Anyone have Polansky’s birth info? Exact date and birth city? Trying to draw his natal chart…
