I decided a long time ago that unless someone can demonstrate true levitation or some other awesome power, then I don't take their advice on enlightenment. Other than that, scientific research published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. The reason so many people like me left Fairfield was because of the arrogant and supremacist attitude that a lot of TM teachers had, which now , years later the anti-Tm'rs seem to have transferred into their own little fascistic version of fundametnalism. The TMO is now left with the more humble and pragmatic human people, and all the arrogant supremacists are the fundamentalist anti-TM'rs on boards like this. Sad, but truth hurts bud. OffWorld
