We have discussed this on Usenet and FFL, but you have failed to defend your own 'anthill' delusion that TM requires effort. Buddha Shakymuni: "I crossed over the flood without pushing forward, without staying in place." "But how, dear sir, did you cross over the flood without pushing forward, without staying in place?"
