However, you just got done claiming the TMO "talks about but never provides" the experience Steve is referring to. Of course, the TMO does NOT talk about "empowerment, transmission, shakipat [sic]"; it may have value, but "giving" (or "receiving") the experience of higher states of consciousness is not an aspect of TM at all. Can't have it both ways, sorry. ------------------------ Yahoo!
