It certainly takes one to know one Dick. You have been giving a perfect
impression of one for quite a few weeks now. The funny thing is, once in a
while you actually write a post that is good reading but all the stuff in
between is like this little kid in the corner going nah, nah, ne, nah, nah.

At this point you're just a poser.

Yeah, it's too bad we don't have free and accurate information here on FFL,
what with some informants trying to obfuscate in the extreme, so we can't find
out where the TM mantras really came from and what they really mean. This is
supposed to be a spiritual help site where people can discuss spiritual paths
and techniques in a truthful manner without rancor. If we could just get past
the double-speak. Go figure.
"...the TM mantras are *not* the names of the Hindu gods. The Hindu gods have
perfectly good names of their own."

Absolutely. What leaves me astonished (and humbled) is the sheer scale of the
free info and advice that's now available. We're talking about countless
numbers of people who freely give of their time and experience to help their
fellows. Quite remarkable - and surely unpredictable by those who assume we are
all motivated only by self-interest.
