Thanks, but no thanks. > Vaj, Barry, and 'kalidevi' are all perfect examples of how the ego acts to prevent its annihilation just prior to Self-realization: Having each earlier heavily invested themselves in TM and not been able to achieve Self-realization with the practice, the ego in each one then makes the determination for each of them that it wasn't the ego that had an issue with TM (when in fact it did; it was, and is, fighting for its illusory life...), it was the practice of TM, the teaching of TM, and the teacher of TM that the ego decides is defficient. So the ego makes up a lot of stuff about how TM isn't the right practice for it, and Maharishi isn't the right teacher for it. And then, egos being what they are, the ego holds each of these three under its sway and convinces them that not only is TM wrong for them, it is wrong for everyone! Similar to that phrase which exemplifies the hold of the ego: "everyone is wrong, but you...". This is why they find time in their lives to continue posting negative things about TM on a forum, when none of the three practices TM. It is all the sway of the ego and each one is completely lost in the ego dream. Given each of Vaj's, Barry's and 'kalidevi''s heavily invested ego trips, I don't think any of them wants to wake up any time soon.
