Hi ... I just googled some old familiar names and was directed to their posts on this site. I am glad so many have grown out of the need to blindly follow anyone. I was a premie from 1973 until 1982. My path took me to the MB residence for a brief period of time and the "Broadripple" Hi Michael Donner! I always wanted to become an instructor and instead found myself being sent to Ct, NY, Philly, Gville and Atlanta all within a two or three year period! As coordinator for Gville and Atlanta I had tomatoes thrown at me and actually was attacked and beaten by several "older" PREMIES who felt I just
wasn't "spiritual" enough! Yes ... I moved the Ashram from an old un air-conditioned building in the swamps of Florida into a new home with a pool and TV and even ordered the newspaper delivered daily! I encouraged the Ashram residents to get on with life... not to isolate from the world and encouraged community premies to take care of themselves, feed their children and if after that ... they had extra money ...send it to M. I argued endlessly with premies telling them to start living life... that M would not want premies starving themselves and their kids... HAA! I finally realized ..in Atlanta... that I could no longer be the hypocrit I was! I could no longer preach to others what I was not willing to do myself. So I left the Ashram and began making my way in life ... on my own! YES... it has been difficult at times, and filled with insecurity and self doubt... but I always had a sense of self value ... even in the ashram ... I always had a sense of humour and a bit of the prankster nature. These things help me today. I wish you all well and if any of you remember me as I recall you... let me know!
