Is it merely that the daily mishegaas goes on, but one's response to it changes? It was a big part of the TM pitch that higher consciousness improves daily life. I'd like to test that conclusion against some real-life stories of people who've awakened. Tom T clarifies: The good news is that everything has changed in how you perceive and handle the challenges of day to day life. There is almost nothing that can overcome the feeling of certainty that things are as they are and have always been so. Even in the most disastrous events in personal life that certainty can not be overcome for very long at all. Bottom line is that stuff still happens but it no longer sticks or really matters. It is kind of like being Teflon coated, the same old stuff hits the fan and you are untouched. So nothing changes, stuff hits the fan. Everything changes, and it doesn't touch or harm you. Makes for an easy life in that you now see it for what it is and that is OK. Tom T
