Dear Anartaxius this is funny. You are writing like a tru- believer here hoping that meditators are more intellectually developed like the TM movement equates meditation with increased 'moral reasoning' as if to say that meditators are more ethical or moral. Evidently spiritually meditation more likely itself proly has little to do with intellectual process such as your smarts or moral reasoning [ethics] which quite evidently may come along more from upbringing, education and life experience otherwise. MJ argues this presentation a lot here about the evident ethical behavior of long-term meditators who are leaders of the movement, by example. -JaiGuruYou

I think everyone here now except for the occasional post from 'emily' is or was a meditator, and what is posted here, all of it, is a reflection of TM's and the TMO's variable effect on people's minds. So what I post, what Steve posts, what Barry posts, what you post, etc., is all a testament to having learned TM, a testament to its effectiveness or its lack of it as the case may be. Sign me up for the "lack of effectiveness" group. :-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_philosophy
