******** Nonsense. Hindus can think what they like about anything, including the mantras used in TM, but the proper use of mantras during the practice of TM has nothing to do with meaning -- if it does, then one is not practicing TM. TM operates beyond the level of meaning, which is what enables one to transcend. Remaining on the thinking level, the level of meaning, would disallow transcendence. > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "BillyG." <wgm4u@> wrote: > > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Vaj <vajradhatu@> wrote: > > > > > > > > The Jerusalem Post covers TM and it's putsch into schools: > > >> Bob Roth, spokesperson for the international TM > > > > movement and national director of expansion, states that the .
