Always looking to someone else for "answers," foolishly spending money. What a sad story. And now you are full up with anger and resentment, like a child whose daddy didn't give him what he said he would. Poor Edg. I hope the local authorities where you live are aware of your propensity for violence. Yes Fester, it is stupid to think that TM and all its sundry add-ons was going to work isn't it? And spending so much money on it too! I suppose you never believed a word of it.... You miss the point Sal. You just don't get what Feste is saying. I could tell you that it is a matter of personal responsibility, that you are born alone, that you die alone, and that you are ultimately the master of your own fate And that, in a nutshell, is why people get involved with religious groups like TM that promise the world and yet deliver nothing. Maybe you missed the intro talk, maybe you never heard Marshy talking about enlightenment, maybe you never read the research about improved relationships and effortless problem solving. Life is Bliss, you heard that one at least? Maybe you wised up quicker than Edg did, good for you but you don't sound like a sceptic, you sound like someone who brought a car and found out it was rubbish but tells everyone it's great apart from the fact it was rubbish to start with. Which one is it? but I don't think it would sink in. If you are looking for a hand out in this world, then yes, you are going to be disappointed, and somewhat bitter, as you appear to be. It's easier to think that about me than realise the contradictions inherent in what you are saying. Sal, you are speaking here as if your "findings" practicing TM and whatever else you did or didn't do in the Movement are the same for everyone. You feel one way, experienced whatever you experienced whenever that was (presumably your feelings evolving over time) but you are failing to recognize that you have not done some valid scientific study that has been proven to be true for all time for all participants. You have simply come to some conclusions on your own, based on your subjectivity, about the Movement and now expect it to be the ultimate truth of the thing for everyone. Fact: you find TM and MMY's claims to be rubbish. Fact: not everyone else does. Fact: the verdict is out on which one is true.
