Here's the reality of what was happening in your being when you decided that MMY had somehow let you down, Rick, and you decided to stop practising the TM technique as taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. It's a powerful technique that creates alot of unstressing. Hell, you can feel miserable half the time. Some people can't take it so they use any kind of justification to quit. What you should have done instead of quitting TM as taught by MMY is reduce your meditation time to 5 or 10 minutes twice a day. And you could have done any kinds of additional meditations or huggings and follow whatever guru you wanted...but just do those two sessions of reduced-time TM sessions. Hey, didn't you initiate thousands of people? Didn't you tell them to do TM twice a day for the rest of their lives? Didn't you preach that very thing? Well, practise what you preach. > > > No virus found in this outgoing message. > Checked by AVG Free Edition. > Version: 7.5.484 / Virus Database: 269.12.2/967 - Release Date: 8/22/2007 > 6:51 PM >
