up at 22. yes, I was straight for the years when most people are
experimenting. Now, back to the normal programming.

It seems your only advice for RJ is to do TM and don't do drugs.

Ask RJ, if, in his time at MIU, he was
drug-free as suggested by TM
teachers? It's my impression that he has
never put away drugs for the
length of time necessary to give him the
feeling of well-being that
he is seeking. If you don't want to follow the
TM advice (which
includes as a precursor not using illegal drugs), then
you cannot
gain the benefits associated with the
practice.
