[FairfieldLife] Re: Transcendental Meditation – becoming popular again

Means the same thing as, if you see the Buddha on the road, kill him, only 
updated. It means never take yourself so seriously as to forego a leap into the 
unknown, vs. getting caught up in an identity. Transcend constantly, challenge 
everything, especially yourself. Become wise to the ways you settle for a can 
of beans, instead of chucking it at the first opportunity, and continuing to 
push for your birthright. 

The truth of Maharishi's statement doesn't work with a group, rather it is an 
independent judgment of ourselves, to ourselves. The personal voyage of the 
soul, beyond itself; becoming *established* in Being. Letting go, is 
paradoxically, the only way to become established in Being. So, just let go.
