First off, Kirk, it appears you're doing a bit better. If so, good for you. Myself, my doctor upped my dose of unobtainium carbonate to 400 mg a day and it's made all the world of difference to me. Will some sidhis be realized? Well, according to one of the TM websites (I don't feel like searching now), floating won't come until like 2099. I'm not sure much more will happen but if it does, the TMO will be there to claim credit for it. That, incidentally is a problem. There are thousands of groups doing yagnas, puja, mass meditations around the world right now. It's this vast metamovement which no one can really claim credit for. Your experience with TM is what I'd expect to happen. Least it's happened with me and those I know. We've become more of ourselves and that process continues and in my case speeds up each day. Now that wasn't all too cool on in my CIC group. Two years later two couples were divorced and no longer did TM, another few people switched to rebirthing. There was myself and a TM initiator become governor still meditating. People became who they were and who they were weren't married to his guy/gal or doing TM. A few people I know are now in prison and don't get a chance to do TM there with all the noise and crowding. Becoming more of what they were meant some strange transitions for them. I think the road to enlightenment with TM involves becoming more who you are, more who you are until you are it all. Now just how you do this holed up in a frat room flying hours a day in the dome and doing do a trivial job on the MUM campus I don't have a clue. The nature of life is to grow and expand and it doesn't seem to me that that type of life promotes growth and expansion.
