I don't know where you're getting this from; I certainly received all the personalized instruction I needed -- both externally and (when ready) internally. Did you not get the instruction to leave when it was time? :-) > there will be some people who based on their own good circumstances > will awaken in a balanced manner simply due to their fortunate and > balanced disposition (of body, energy and Mind).

Yes, and I would be the *last* to say that TM/TMSP is for everyone, at all times ... it's always all about trusting the Self/self, or whatever other "codependent illusion" you wish to hang your hat on, until you remember there is no hat, no your, no you, etc. :-) <snip> > > And of course it will not for everyone.

Yes, you know, it's a funny thing -- when I was still one of the "walking wounded" immediately before and after my own Awakening, I saw these "walking wounded" everywhere. Long after I had left the Movement and was practicing my own healing techniques, I would notice again and again that those coming for help were perfect mirrors of my own issues. I returned to the Dome last year and saw only a myriad of Divine Siddhas so beautiful I was reduced again and again to tears -- perfect particles of my Absolute Being; perfection recognizing perfection! Who's really been "healed" here -- them or me, or is there any difference? As a friend of mine recently said, "it's all a co-dependent arising illusion!" I like that! :-) Oh, and many thanks for reminding me of the Herukas -- they are *loads* of fun; really liven up an illusory party! Sal-saaaaa! (By the way, I'm pretty sure Judy is a Dharmapala.) *L*L*L*
