Ive had good experiences (not spectacular, but enjoyable) with TM from day one and have never missed a meditation since then (July 25, 1968). Strictly speaking, I dont do TM anymore because Im using a different mantra (from Amma), but I use it TM-style and still have enjoyable meditations. Regarding permanent shifts to higher states, I couldnt put a label on it, but I definitely see the world through different eyes than I once did, and than I would have had I not been meditating all these years. A ground of silence is permanent. Glimpses of unity are occasional.
