I presume you're not referring to TM teachings. Lip service is given to this approach in the TM movement, but it doesn't happen in practice. Even the scientists, who should be the most rigorous testers, ignore results which don't support their agenda. Of course, that's not unique to the TM movement. That's the name of the game in the drug industry, genetic engineering, etc. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
