Maybe one day you will arrive at a more mature understanding the spiritual path, and the master disciple relationship.
Until then I suggest you stick with the Disney version of how the world works. Sure Ariel encounters some challenges along the way, but in the end, everything turns out hunky dory.

Reflect on it, pray on it, work on it. (Is that the name of a movie?)

You are obsessed with and inordinately charmed by any "research" coming from the Movement. I am not, especially since most of it upon anything more than a cursory examination proves to be either bogus or deeply flawed. If TM is so good, why are so many TM'ers lives so screwed up?

BTW, if TM is just so plain awful, what is your explanation for the survey results? Ongoing indoctrination via the 15 minutes morning and evening Quiet Time periods?
