More Tom T comments on Stealth Sutra at the bottom: > Tom T: > The true reason for the sutras was to wake you up. The levitation >gig was to give the ego a reason to continue the practice long enough >to finish the wake up process, which was built into the practice.).
Vaj: I understand what you are saying. It would be helpful to know the number of the post to specifically comment on that one. Understand though, that samkhya and the yoga-sutras--and "awakening" a la the yoga-sutra is a dualistic awakening. That is, it deals with CC/turiyatita. That's not to say jumping into any other state couldn't happen, of course anything is *possible*. It's just that the intent of the yoga-sutra, of which the TM-Sidhi program represents a watered down version, is to provide a samkhya-style realization: turiyatita. In effect you are saying MMY has distorted the tradition to fool us using our ahamkara/egos as "carrots"? Tom T: Stealth Sutra details: On the other hand if we look at the last and final sutra in chapter 3 (Expansion) we arrive at sutra 52 which states "From Sanyama on moments and their succession, the finest discriminative knowledge is born. Sutra 53. "This enables us to distinguish between two objects that are to all appearances identical. Sutra 54: Knowledge born of the finest discrimination takes us to the farthest shore. Sutra 55: And when the translucent intellect is as pure as the Self, there is Enlightenment. Look at 52 through 55 and this is the only place it says that any sutra produces the Big E. All the other sutras are for practice and for the sidhi disclosed. The last sutra says Big E is the result of this sutra 52. Actually sutra 52 was installed at the time we all learned the sidhis. We were beat over the head with the necessity to do a certain number of reps in a bound amount of time. MMY gave you sutra 52 to practice without telling you so. There is a part of every mind that can track time no matter what and if you don't think so remember all the time you ended your meditation at exactly 20 mins. The instruction to do a finite number of reps in a certain time while you were doing the sidhi prescribed was to do #52 in total innocence. So you have been doing this practice as prescribed by MMY with out knowing it. Best way to hide something is right under your nose in plain sight. Enjoy PS: This is not experienced as a watered down version of the Big E so I would like to know if that is your personal experience or from some text and if the latter can you quote chapter and verse.
