Dearest Vaj: I have the perfect solution here. TRY IT!
Get initiated. I would be most interested then whether your theories got changed. TM is an EXPERIENCE. And as Jimmy would say: "Are you EXPERIENCED?" "Well, *I* am". Go for it, Vaj. Just even for the first session. Then you can throw it away. Lots of fun. Very mystical. At least it used to be. I even taught TM. But that's a whole other story.
