Could this have been one of those "secret teachings" divulged only to TM teachers? Because it was always my understanding that one could slip into and out of the experience of any state of consciousness, although at some point a particular state supposedly became permanent. After all, "witnessing" is said to be a temporary state of CC; CC is said to be a permanent state of witnessing. I learned TM in 1975; was the concept of witnessing as a temporary state something that was introduced after Barry's time but before mine? Genuinely curious here.
