Beyond the Clouds (The Women of Midtown): Christian Historical Opposites Attract Romance Set in WWI New York City and Europe 

Contrast the avoda zara philosophy promoted by Maharishi from the sealed masoret of T’NaCH, Talmud, and Siddur

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (1918–2008) is best known for developing Transcendental Meditation (TM) and for his broader philosophies surrounding consciousness, meditation, and personal development. His teachings blend Eastern spiritual traditions with modern scientific insights, emphasizing the potential for personal and collective transformation through meditation.

Transcendental Meditation (TM), a simple technique where individuals meditate for about 20 minutes twice a day, focusing on a specific mantra. The practice aims to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being. Maharishi’s philosophy posits that there are different levels of consciousness, ranging from the individual ego to universal consciousness. Achieving higher states of consciousness is seen as vital for personal growth and societal harmony.

A significant aspect of his philosophy is the idea that individual well-being contributes to global peace. Maharishi advocated for group meditation initiatives, suggesting that collective practices could foster a more peaceful world. The heart of Maharishi’s teachings lies in the practice of TM, helping individuals achieve depth of consciousness and inner silence. Maharishi integrated Ayurvedic principles into his teachings, emphasizing natural health and the balance between body, mind, and spirit. He developed programs focused on stress reduction, creativity enhancement, and improved quality of life through meditation.

Maharishi’s Concept: The text outlines two realities: the “Absolute,” which is unchanging, and the “relative,” which is ever-changing. This duality is central to understanding life and consciousness. T’NaCH: In Judaism, God is often described as unchanging (Malachi 3:6: “For I, the Lord, do not change”). However this minor prophet contrasts with the day and night change between God in Heaven as depicted in the Book of בראשית, to the God within our hearts – revelation of HaShem at Sinai.

The Talmud encompasses the “world view” model of Sanhedrin common law courtrooms. Case/Din halacha serves as בניני אבות judicial precedents wherein the Gemara sugyot interpret and re-interpret different perspectives how to both understand the language of a sugya of Gemara; but most essentially to make, so to speak, a legislative review/משנה תורה-multiple different perspective analysis of the witness language of a specific Mishna.

The Maharishi’s concept of “Being”, for example, fails to address the ever present crisis of Jewish assimilation and intermarriage with Goyim who reject the revelation of the Torah at Sinai – HaShem לא בשמים היא – a D’varim vision that Torah does not come from heaven. A Talmudic example found in ברכות which presents an Aggadic story of a man who sleeps in a grave yard and told that Man can only do mitzvot in this world and not in the world to come. Meaning doing time-oriented commandments with the k’vanna לשמה fundamentally and absolutely requires a Yatzir Ha-Tov spirit which breathes tohor Oral Torah middot within the beating heart of a bnai brit Man living in this world.

The Talmud emphasizes the distinction between tefillah and prayer – comparable to the Divine Names whereby the Avot perceived God in the Heavens above as opposed to the post Sinai root faith that HaShem’s Divine Presence Shekinah breaths tohor middot within the Yatzir Ha-Tov within our hearts on this physical Earth below. Hence its directly pronounce the Name of HaShem because this living spirit Name simply no more a word than its possible to compare anything in the Heavens, Seas, or Earth to HaShem.

Contrast the false Maharishi’s concept — his projected ability of individual beings to reflect the “Absolute”, this total narishkeit nonsense declares the notion of expanding mind and heart through awareness and harmony with universal being. This contrasts with HaShem understood in the Talmud as a local god which only the 12 tribes of Israel accepted at Sinai with the Universal Monotheistic theological rhetoric promoted by both Xtianity and Islam’s Universal Monotheistic God(s).

The Maharishi’s religious rhetoric narishkeit promotes mystical kabbalah excuses! His “Kabbalistic perspective” describes the process of personal and collective consciousness expanding as one engages more deeply with divine truth. Torah by contrast defines faith as צדק צדק תרדוף – pursue judicial common law justice in this world – specifically within the brit lands sworn as the eternal inheritance of the Avot chosen Cohen seed within only the borders of Judea. Sanhedrin Courts with their prophetic police mussar enforcers only have jurisdiction within the borders of Judea. Yonah being an exception due to the king of Assyria made a mass deportation of the people of the kingdom of Samaria deported to Assyrian lands by force.

T’shuva refers to b’nai brit remembering the sworn oath made unto the Avot that they would father the chosen Cohen people. After Yonah traveled to the kingdom of Assyria – the Babylonian empire conquered that kingdom shortly thereafter. Prophets never sent to Goyim who never accepted the revelation of the Torah at Sinai. Contrast the Koran where it declares that prophets sent to all nations and lands to warn of approaching societal collapse; where those “prophets” speak in the native language of the people being warned! Goyim in all times and generations never accepted the revelation of the Torah at Sinai. Prophets command mussar only to the chosen Cohen people who accept the revelation of the Torah at Sinai. Hence the Koran, like the New Testament – both Av tuma avoda zara.
