I am an extremely active householder and have lead a very interesting life with a number of successful careers under my belt. I gravitate with men and women on Invincible America who have a certain spark to them. When we gather in privacy I see what that spark is: these people are very live wires. Great senses of humor. Great intellects, whether learned or not. We have to interrupt each other because none of us are shy or retiring. Our body types are all different, our ages span 35 years, we go from gray to red to blond to black hair to no hair at all. Roman Catholic, Jewish, Protestant, Muslim, none of the above. We run the spectrum from TB to me. Quite a wide spectrum. The people I tend to gravitate to on IA also are having very powerful and profound experiences, though they might also be unstressing out of their gourd. OK, that's always been the case with me and who I tend to attract around me. Now we all notice the TMO robots. One guy who used to work at Cobb Mountain and I think now still works in the MUM library, who 7 years ago was on mini-Purusha and flying 60 minutes in the Dome, which for those days was a lot and only available by special dispensation from Maharishi or the Sidhi Admins. We notice the people in Annapura, in town. We can't figure out what the problem is. They run the entire spectrum of emotion from A to B. There's a very strong sense we get that they are perhaps zombies, because there's just no heart evident in their speech. My friends and I note that the people in the Mens Dome who read their #1 experiences have a lot of liveliness and heart to them. We notice that the self appointed most likely to be having #1 experiences based on their devotion to the TMO and program over the years, and the ones who seem to be zombies don't have any experiences to read. So yes, my friends and I agree that TM doesn't seem to have worked. OTOH, TM seems to have worked for myself and live wire friends. Our take on it? Maharishi gave us householder mantras. Those of us who have really dived deeply into our careers (from Professor of Middle Eastern language in Israei to actor and director in Ireland), getting married, having children, having affairs, drinking wine, Guiness and Budweiser, partying wild on New Years Eve, balanced their TM program with getting laid aren't happy with where they've gotten, as we all signed up for a faster program, but have unmistakably made progress. This is a free (mostly free-for-all) forum. You don't have to agree with me. However you don't know if I know Stu or not, and Stu still has several hours left to commit the perfect murder he had planned for 2008.
