Stop smoking pot (why do you think the TMO asks people to stop illegal drug use prior to starting TM?). Um, because they're control freaks who like to make people miserable? 3. Don't worry about the cigarettes, they'll go away somewhere down the line if you are regular in your TM (and not overwhelming the benefits with psychotropic drugs). You're joking, right? It sounds to me like RJ has been very regular and the cigs are still very much with him. One of the most addictive habits known will no doubt take a bit more than TM, or else he would have already kicked it. That's great that you did it quickly, but, from what I understand, that is not the experience of most, TMers or not.     Sal, very true. It is very ironic and hypocritical that the TMO owes its existence to the drug Soma, yet claims to be of a purely non-drug nature and chastises its members for usage. Feel free to tie this bold statement into my others in the Soma thread. Herein is the same royal hypocrisy that makes up the foundation of most religions. If you want the real realization, look no farther than into this fundamental spiritual deceit.    -Mark   To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
