thank you, this has got to be the most important quote of Maharishi's that we
have to remind people of, false ideas about Yoga and detachment are so
ingrained in people not just in the west but most of all in India, including
some individuals who are acting in Maharishi's name who repeat that ti

Tell me, what are you trying to accomplish in doing TM? Enlightenment? What

Is interesting in this to chart how a lexicon of critique employed by Maharishi
would migrate through the long decades towards making what is mystically
abstract more concrete. Consciousness and Being, relative and Absolute, bound
and Unbounded -ness, attachment, detached, un-attachment.

Emily,
What is DBT and can you post videos that explain this method? Thanks.
Emily,
DBT appears to be methodical and clinical in its approach. But TM, as
explained by MMY in SOBAL is more natural in its application. TM is easy and
does not need concentration or effort in eliminating stress and behavioral
issues.

Emily,
I can see through my friends who are not TMers that they keep their anger,
likes and dislikes hidden or under the surface of their conscious lives. I
believe it contributes to stress and health problems, and possibly marriage
issues. IOW, TM helps the person be unattached to person
Hmmm.there sure have been a lot of angry, attached TM'ers on this forum! I
don't believe one can make a blanket statement like this, nor do I believe that
meditation *dissolves* hidden anger. Honest introspection and
self-accountability are always required when looking for hidden anger. I

"Balanced, nuanced, and realistic." Nice. Yes, to each his own. I feel the
need at times to counter what comes across to me as absolutism.
Clearly MMY was (or is, for those who believe this way) a person with
extraordinary charisma and energy and presence and vision and love, too. The
Brahmananda Saraswati, Maharishi’s teacher (aka, Guru Dev), was both nuanced
and practical in his talks about this subject, with a sense of humor too.
Taught of character and morality in this too as they relate to human evolution.

Detached,
In a ‘range’ of unboundedness I feel it is interesting to see a communal
fluidity in Fairfield that can move from MMY & unboundedness to particular
attachments and then over to something of detachment.
