You talk about the "benefits of religion".?? More blood has flown in the name of religion than all of Hitler's concentration camps. There is difference between moral guidelines and dogmatic beliefs

MMY Date: Friday, July 10, 2009, 8:44 AM MMY's implication is that you need both!! "The rituals of the various Religions represent the body, and the practice of directly experiencing Being represents the Spirit. Both are necessary and should go hand in hand. One will not survive without the other." MMY SOB page 256 Unfortunately, many folks practicing TM are left without the benefits of Religion because the TMorg does not teach that one should practice their Religion WITH TM, in fact, most TM'ers practice TM in lieu of Religion, missing some of the important guidelines only Religion can provide! Believe me, sooner or later TM will be full blown Religion! I already acknowledge that, and anyone with half a brain would realize that too. Basically TM is a Religious Science!
