It is NOT the practice of taking that
direction. NOT THE PRACTICE. It is the
nature of the mind to move in a direction
of greater happiness. The practice is not
needed to reach the goal.

The speech I quoted was from when the Marshy
was making sense, boo, before he got all mixed

--- Willytex, this is just a play upon mere words. Call it want you
want: undoing, unpractice, uncovering;but the practice generally
amounts to the same thing: TM, or whatever other technique(s) work

bring liberation to man. Enlightenment isn't a
practice; the enlightened state is not an object of
cognition.
