I asked him specifically if he still meditated, and he said no, and that he suspected that if he did, he might feel better. I am pretty sure Robin would never do TM again as long as he lives. Too dangerous for him. My impression is that he had stopped meditating well before his epiphany that Hindu stuff was Bad, Very Bad™ because he believed he no longer needed to. But he would have been meditating, at least on and off, from 1976 probably until about 1983 or 84 and that was after his experience in Arosa on the mountain. I might be wrong, of course. I could also be wrong but I am pretty positive we had group meditations with him and TM pujas too. Those were pretty darn nice.

That's a conjecture with no basis in anything he or anybody else ever said. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <LEnglish5@...> wrote : I personally think that Robin went over teh edge as soon as he stopped meditating regularly. Why? Because Maharishi said over and over again, that the time when enlightenment dawns is the time of greatest unstressing and the time when regularity of practice is most vital. Robin apparently ignored that part of MMY's teachign completely: the more enlightened he considered himself, the less he bothered to meditate, or such is my impression.

Whether he was "more than a bit unbalanced" up to that point is a different question, one that "most people" aren't in a position to know. (Some people on FFL think you're more than a bit unbalanced, after all.) In his heyday, Robin had a lot of appeal, as Ann points out. Did you read the file I cited? I should think you'd find it of interest, given what he says about the TMO in that Ledger ad. You're always looking for data, and as I said, he agreed with your view of the TMO in many respects.
