Richard, I gotta say, you have a knack for harsh words also, but when you write such things, I don't sense any poetry -- just mean, cruel, blackheartedness. When I say my crappola, a big part of me shudders that such fucked-up language emerges from me -- I know I'm playing with fire and that folks have real emotional responses "out there." I cannot justify the practice except that I'm powerless to do anything else to strike out at the immoralities of Kali Yuga. BUT LOOK FOLKS -- I did the whole TM trip for 29 years, and here's Richard who's had decades of spiritual practices under his belt and we're both using the same angst-ridden language. We're the products of spirituality? This is what TM did for me? Talk about a conundrum for the TBs. Well, I'm sure they'll have their explanations -- we must have been off the program, didn't get checked, etc., but I'm here to tell ya, TM doesn't even begin to undo-heal-repress-remove rage born from injustices inflicted in this lifetime. Not a dent. Sheer willpower applied for years can barely do it. One just has to learn "not to go there," and "just say no" etc. until the passage of time and the growing of neurons-of-peace happen. I'm still working on my shit, but I do have it on a nice strong leash now. Edg
