My girlfriend at the time ponied up the cash for my TM. And I sold a bunch of my art that paid for my Siddis exactly the right amount. Apart from that I was pretty broke most of those years. Other than that there is NO WAY I would have paid these prices. In those days, before I learned TM I was seriously ready to go to India and become a recluse/yoga student in the Himalayas. I think I would have done it if it were not for TM and the Siddhis. I wonder how many other people on FFL had those kind of intentions before hearing about TM? Probably a lot of the people here would have spent a few years there, maybe lived or died in the process. Maybe got enlightened, maybe got lost, maybe got crazy, maybe came back and became a Republican (god forbid).
