"You don't transcend in this style of TM..." This "style" of TM? There are no styles of TM. Like any other technique, there is a correct way to do it, period. And probably endless ways we could discuss for years on how not to do it - lol. You wouldn't try to hammer a nail into a wall with the nail reversed, would you?
You're probably referring to your old story about people napping in the Domes. Yeah, some catch zzzzs in there. Its what happens when tamas encounters sattva- tamas always "wins" - you go to sleep. I imagine with a low protein vegetarian diet, lots of sitting, little exercise and a long meditation program, you'd feel pretty listless anyway.:-) --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Vaj <vajradhatu@...> wrote: > > > On Mar 3, 2011, at 7:57 AM, turquoiseb wrote: > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, blusc0ut <no_reply@> wrote: > >> > >> As it is I am simply investigating TM beliefs and conditioning. > >> All of them.
