>From here, arguing about "meaning" and "distorted traditions" or attaching any "meaning" to any "tradition" is completely laughable: just another way to deny the emptiful meaninglessness of one's a priori Death and attempt to cling to self-importance, judgment, specialness -- a complete waste of time and misuse of discrimination, IOW. OTOH, in retrospect I see TM was an excellent "anti-addiction addiction" for us as it showed us how to transcend, or die, again and again: how to effortlessly give up control, again and again, until we were finally ready to face and surrender to the Big One. And you're still misusing "it's" too. :-)
