And just who are you to tell us what the purpose of this site is? I think you need to examine where your need to control a bunch of free-thinking people you've never met actually comes from.This isn't a TM approved site, quite the opposite actually, and you are out of favour with them just for reading this. Most people on here respect each others views but obviously mantras come up, so what? It's not going to kill you and it doesn't do any damage to the TMO so what's the big deal? If you fear that reading your mantra will remove it's power, relax it's just the TM conditioning taking over. Vaj explained what mine meant and it still worked, though I was anxious that I knew as suddenly it wasn't a meaningless word anymore, shock horror! Fascinating to think my mind has been manipulated to feel guilt about things like that without my being aware of it. BTW I apologised for printing my mantra because I don't like offending peoples sensibilities, but does it bother me? No, if it does you, I think you must be in the wrong place. Or maybe if you stick around and think about it you will end up with a healthier way of looking at things. I think "Listen to your gut reaction" sounds suspiciously like guilt manipulation. Religions are rather good at this, because why would Rick feel squeemish unless he has a guilty conscience and the only place he would have got that is by being controlled by the TMO, being trained to think in a certain way about a bunch of freely available words that are apparently our birth-right (for a fee and your signature on the correct legal document of course). Guilt is powerful stuff and so good for controlling people. So give Rick a break he's doing just fine with this place.
