Richard, your comment here about being either bound or free is pretty profound.
Can we not be both? A favorite book title I've shared before: Freedom Doesn't
Mind Its Chains.

We are either free or we are bound.
Richard, this reminds me of something David Deida talks about on youtube. I'm
gonna paraphrase: that we're like the light coming in through a broken, dirty,
stained glass window. Successful therapy leads to fixing the broken glass;
successful yoga leads to cleaning the dirty glass; but

Richard, it's a very fascinating phenomenon, this whole thing about silence and
words. I like to think about it from the perspective of signal and noise. Even
online! How much static is drowning out the message? When you're on all
cylinders, it's all signal, no noise! Well, very little noise

I mean Michael's post are often entertaining in the sense that they often don't
make much sense. (-:
In one case, he will say TM is a totally ineffective technique.
In another, he will say it causes too much purification.
Then we hear, that any benefits, or experiences during meditation

Michael,
I may not be up on my english language conventions, but wouldn't satire be
something that stands out from normal writing? I mean this is just your usual
content, so I really wouldn't say it qualifies as satire, at least for you.
Maybe I'm just being too picky.

I think it is rather difficult to parse out the 'Biggest Most Meaningful Event
in your entire lives!!!'= For me learning TM was a significant event in light
of subsequent events. But several years before, an event occurred that
eventually led to TM, and I think that prior event was more

The thing that makes TM a cult is that anyone -- at any time since it was
introduced -- ever considered TM more than what it was: a simple, made-up,
beginner's technique of basic meditation.
To consider it more -- let alone to believe that learning it had the power to
be a big event in one's
