That is, "...with ZERO experience of the thing you're comparing TM to and claiming TM is 'best'." That's the riff I'd like to see you try to run with a straight face again, Judy. Personally, why I'm taunting you with it is that I kinda suspect that by now you're thoroughly embarrassed by having several times put yourself on record as supporting the "TM is the best" claim, and want to distance yourself from such an idiotic position as much as possible and admit, "Of course I have no earthly idea which technique of meditation is 'best'; I have only experienced one of them...how could I *possibly* say anything about the ones I've never experienced?" But you can't do that because that might suggest that you were w...w...w...wrong at some point in the past, and we all know that you cannot allow that perception to arise. So instead of dealing with the challenge anew and taking it on, you'll point to old posts that you *know* no one is ever going to look up, and *pretend* that you've dealt with it so thoroughly in the past that there is no need to do so again. There is a need to do so again. You have insinuated that you still *could* make a case for declaring TM 'the best' compared to some technique (*ANY* technique) that you have never studied or practiced or experienced yourself. I'm challenging you to do this, because I do not think you can do it without essentially saying, "My *theory* about how the universe works is more important than anyone's direct experience of how the universe works. If my theory says that something is 'the best' it's the best, and that's that. Reality is irrelevant." THAT is the case I think you've tried to make in the past on this issue, and THAT is the case I suspect you would try to make again, were you not too cowardly to do so. I'd like to see you try to punch your way out of the "I don't have to actually have had any experience with the thing I'm talking about to make declarations about it" corner you've painted yourself into -- again -- by blindly following the TMO dogma.
