Well it makes it grosser. But grosser is not plainer. And it has nothing to do with taking the word of a famous, rich person. It has to do with taking the word of an intelligent, independent person who also happens to be rich and famous. That's what you keep avoiding, isn't it? That Dr. Oz is smart and completely independent of TMO. I'm guessing that's really what you can't reconcile with all your beliefs about TM. That someone really smart and successful and knowledgeable about health would choose to practice it.

Which I'll elucidate by saying that I don't consider The Donald as healthy. So again, if you are able, how do you explain that someone like Dr. Oz, smart, successful and healthy, practices and promotes TM? I'm also noticing that none of the anti TM people can answer this one. And so they are evading it. ________________________________ From: Michael Jackson <mjackso...@yahoo.com> To: "FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com" <FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Monday, February 25, 2013 11:28 AM Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: David Lynch Is Back to Emily and Michael I don't take the amount of money or fame someone has as an edict to do what they recommend.

I'm thinking that for famous people like Lynch and Paul McCartney, Howard Stern and Seinfeld, etc. they're just grateful to have found a technique that enables them to not only survive but thrive in the very demanding entertainment field. PS to Emily, thanks for your reply smile. ________________________________ From: salyavin808 <fintlewoodle...@mail.com> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, February 24, 2013 3:40 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: David Lynch Is Back --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Buck" wrote: > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "authfriend" wrote: > > > > How about Jack Forem?

I find it sad that some misinformed and/or angry people find it necessary to attack such a good thing, that has helped, and is helping, so many. I would urge them to investigate more deeply and re-think their position." > > http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/24/magazine/david-lynch-transcendental-meditation.html?pagewanted=all&_r=1&; But all of these angry people are TMers for whom it didn't work or who got fed up with the way the organisation operated after working there for years and thus can't really be said to be misinformed. But their story was somehow neglected from his research?
