I don't care what you two clowns argue about to defend your images of your selves as enlightened. Not my interest. But for the record, I only mentioned hours-long experiences of samadhi to differentiate the experience from the momentary second-long-or- less flashes of thoughtlessness that most TMers seem to have, based on having taught and checked thousands of them. To get an idea of what samadhi actually is, you probably need some time to settle in to the experience, not just a tiny flash. That could be in the form of hours-long periods of samadhi during meditation, which some forms of meditation can produce, or it could be in the form of samadhi present for long periods of time simultaneous with activity, as in what Maharishi used to call CC. At one point that was *his* definition of what a transcendental experience was. Now his focus seems to be about getting people all hopped up on emotion over gods and goddesses and bozos wearing Burger King crowns. :-)
