if you think any of the TM critics here are trying to learn anything except shore up their defenses against a technique that transcends everything, you truly are dreaming.
this is not some high minded exercise in "compare and contrast". it is a feeble attempt by those who's egos are in the way, to keep them in the way. nothing more. no one has anything at all to learn from the most vocal TM critics here, except as a cautionary tale. if they were not in conflict over this technique, they would have long ago kept quiet about it, and pursued and shared their own interests. instead we get the same constant and repetitive rants against TM. as one poster recently remarked, "don't you guys ever get tired of this dry boring crap?" the TM critics here talk chiefly to themselves. Vaj for one has been exposed as a no nothing by any number of people here, and for you for the umpteenth time to hold him up as some sort of meditation expert is not only laughable, it is genuinely pathetic. he knows nothing about TM and makes that clear every time he shares his thoughts on the subject. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "curtisdeltablues" <curtisdeltabl...@...> wrote: > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Richard J.
