ONLY if one ACTS on those theories. Otherwise, they're just theories. Your position seems to be that a person who believes as we do has NO CHOICE but to act on them. And your further theory seems to be that a TMer *has* to believe all the dogma and theory that was taught to them about TM to be "really" practicing TM. They don't. > That doesn't say anything about the effectivness of the > technique, though of course *I* believe that the innocent > technique IS more effective than the non-innocent one.

We seem to have the ability to believe something is true and not necessarily act upon it. T'would seem that you don't believe that this is possible. ------------------------ Yahoo!
