TM for me was good shamatha with focus, with some
extra knowledge. Frankly it doesn't beat awareness of the present however.
As a chef, I work very in the present, and like other hunter/gatherers who
forage amongst great enemies my senses have to be very alert, so prolly this is
why I find that my new meditation technique simply called, awareness of the now,
should not be practiced, do not practice awareness of the now.
However, if you give me ten thousand dollars you
can practice this technique, and become aware of the present.

All
the reasons I heard were valid if you believe and experience TM to be
a
simple, natural technique to transcend without effort. What could be
better,
more efficient, than that? Maybe TM is not *the* technique for
everyone and
certainly there are other means to speed up spiritual growth.
But, as he also
said, if something else allows you to transcend w/o effort
(effort really being
an impediment), it is TM (or
tm).
