Now back to the main point of my prior post, which you said was > laughable, TM is unable to "cure or heal" certain maladies such as > depression -- and long time meditators have had to revert to ECT. Depression is anything less than living the fullness of life, which is Bliss Consciousness. Mentally ill or highly stressed individuals simply need to be patient and stick with 10 minutes of TM, not in groups, and they will eventually be able to make faster progress towards Bliss. Saying that ECT has any significance is like saying that hitting somebody over the head with a hammer makes them forgot what they worried about. > But as I began to notice in 1967, the organization is a bit wacky - - > picture Nat Goldhaber in boxer shorts, at the front reception desk, > yelling at someone (personal) on the phone, while people were showing > up for initiations.

When TM becomes more mainstream, more ordinary and less- wacky people will be practicing TM and running the movement. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Yahoo!
