Yes, I do. It's probably time for a TM and mantra meditation FAQ. But since RD's relatively new here, I thought I'd help dispossess her of some of the fictions she's acquired with so little independent thought. But, yeah, it's like having to watch an old grump wake up. Some never really do, but instead cling to their illusions.
