Byrom's translation is: You are bound Only by the habit of your meditation Or in our context: You are bound Only by the habit of your Transcendental Mediation™ and miss that you are already free, without flaw and luminous. Consider Judy, who takes to heart many memorized ideas, but not to the spirit; and thus ends up wedded to her waking state concepts, mistaking them as real, carrying around her pet rope. One of the problems of meditation is forgetting to unlearn meditation. ------------------------------------ To subscribe, send a message to: fairfieldlife-subscr...@yahoogroups.com Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'Yahoo!
