One of the dangers of canned meditation "techniques" is that they don't allow for all the subtle nuances of a potentially infinite variety of students. All these people would have to do is subpoena (or whatever you call it) the checking procedures and show how there are a limited set of responses, IIRC, none of which ever tell you to 'stop meditating' or cut back if "x" happens (i'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong here). And actually they had this kid over- meditating as it was. I'll be amazed if they get out of this one. Upside is, this would be a good time to modify and expand the checking procedures to include what they darn well know are the side- effects--and sometime dangerous side effects--of TM. But we all know it is extremely unlikely this will ever happen. ------------------------ Yahoo!
