Hey, I don't know what caused it, but if you weren't there in Fiuggi, don't be so quick to judge. I mean, there were 30 to 40 people whom the TM movement wanted to ship home but was terrified *to* ship home because they had arrived healthy and now, after a few months of rounding, could not control their spasms, in or out of meditation. We are talking arms and legs jerking out in sudden movements, people standing up and shouting out nonsense sounds or obscenities, Tourette-syndrome- like, whatever. It was pretty scary for the people who had this happen to them. I happened to know one of them, who later went back to L.A. and spent five YEARS dealing with it, living with her parents, and unable to get a job because of the uncontrollable twitching and spasms. She had tried quit- ting meditation, going to doctors, anything she could think of...nothing worked. Like I said, I don't know exactly what brought it on, but I do know what made it go away for this woman. She started meditating with Rama (Fred Lenz), using his style of medtitation, and the twitching just WENT AWAY. Instantly. Never came back. Go figure.
