"long-time TM practitioners in FF" -- that may be your first clue. "long-time TM practitioners in FF" who also at times believed any number of fantastic (as in fantasy) things, abilities, projects, etc. spoke about them authoratatively, and deeply believed them -- until time eventually woke them up to the dream-like facade of their beliefs. Why should we suddenly find such people credible now? And if one proclams they have become awakened -- wonder deeply about that! Who wakes up? What was eternally there, always awake? I suspect some of these such awakened will also gladly tell you about other spiritual wonders they have achieved and gained. Who gained what? I suppose one strategy is to simply laud these people, tell them what great shining souls they are (if you can avoid snickering), that they have obtained such great attainments, that they indeed are the blessed ones, that they, they, they, they .... until their false ego, puffed up by lots of spirutal talk, bursts with a big silent poof!
