Sure, I had good experiences from TM. I began experiencing what MMY
likes to call CC about a year and a half after starting TM. But here's
the catch, I had already been practicing different mantra techniques
before TM and on my first try at meditating a good 3 1/2 years before TM
the kudalini rose to the crown chakra. TM was a stable "official"
technique I decided to try in 1973. Of course now I practice advanced
tantric techniques. In tantra we don't have "levels." There is just
the experience of what would in TM "pure consciousness" which grows in
intensity with practice. I think that delineating levels is a problem
for many TM practitioners and if anything makes people push the carrot
farther out when they may have already swallowed it.
