I still fail to understand what is it about TM that is so special that it cannot be divulged without payment. If the TMO is trying to change the world and they are truly sincere in this, why is it all a big secret? Why is the "technique" so secret? Why isn't it in a book? Or is it? Why has no one breached the secrecy? Who the fuck are all of you super secret special meditators that you are keeping this big elephant in the living room a secret? Protecting your investment? How self-centered is this? Why wouldn't the TMO release the secret, or for that matter, anyone who has the secret, and really test the hypothesis that they can change the world? It reeks of BS.

I do recall the Turq has mentioned some unflattering words towards obba too. The difference is I do not spend my whole time taking every one of his words as a pain in the ass, and if he makes any sense, I leave him alone haha. What shocks me the most is when a "TM Meditator," tears his ass as some kind of outside the movement freak. That is disturbing to me, because if one is getting inner peace, why would one feel threatened by Turq's comments about TM, to the point of lashing out? Judy has pointed out many times the Turq has made an error in his use of TM words, and many others, haha, and at that point, there is no need for someone like me to step in because she called it and many times rightfully so. (Judy is goddess to me.) I am sure if I was hanging out in Amsterdam with the Turq, at a coffee house, rolling a...uh, whatever they have to roll there, and I said I had to take my 20, he may roll his eyes, at the same time respect my time into the Transcendence, as I feel that what works for me. I do not live TM like a cult and if other's do, that is their problem and not mine. : ) Barry is doing a pretty good job showing me the dark side of the movement mind set, yet I still like my TM..so far, I think. ; ) This is where, "Barry," can be free of my not, "theaten lil Barry and his shriveled heart." --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "whynotnow7" <whynotnow7@...> wrote: > > I am pretty sure any and all of them would react just like the rest of us do, > if you decided to lie and deliberately distort their words and criticize them > personally.
