It would be so much easier for you if your would write and then store on your computer a simple statement that TM practitioners cannot and will never become "enlightened".
You could also throw around a couple of phrases like "nitya-samadhi" or "bhava samadhi" and categorically deny that these states of consciousness are possible for anyone doing TM. You could even opine that TM practitioners can't go beyond asmita because they indulge in laya during meditation. Any TM-er claiming to do so then automatically becomes a layin yogi like Maharishi. Why don't you write it up now? It would be so very good-ol' buddi-suttwa of you. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Vaj <vajradhatu@...> wrote: > > > On May 2, 2011, at 3:36 AM, turquoiseb wrote: > > > That's the "missing component" > > of pretty much all of the raps about enlightenment I > > run across.
