When were you last in Fairfield? I was there on two occasions, once in 1972 and again in 2003. I didn't see an 'Joe' on the approved list of TM Teachers. What's up with all the secrecy? Did you get kicked out of the TMO? Just be honest. > What's up with that? > You are nosey! Didn't have time to spend six months in a motel somewhere in the back-of-beyond, meditating. Instead, I became a householder TMer, raised a family and worked all my life to save up for early retirement. I probably know more about 'TM' than the Maharishi himself. > Go figure. > However, I was a Zen Master before I even started TM! The Confessions of a Taco Eater: http://www.rwilliams.us/archives/confessions.htm I took the 'Spiritual Guides' course (Checker) but didn't actually become one. Over the years I've managed to visit India, attend numerous CCPs, RCs, and Zen retreats, and I've had time to take courses in Sanskrit and Comparative Religions at a major university. I have spoken to three direct disciples of Guru Dev.
