--Vaj,obviously you have no way of knowing what will happen to meditators who have been witnessing for a prolonged period if they stop meditating.In my own case which have I have discussed previously in other posts the practice of TM and TMSP resulted in the awakening of kundalini(I came to the the latter conclusion after talking to 4 or 5 advanced chi kung and yoga instructors).This process has caused me to have many different kinds of experiences both blissful and very negative.In addition to these experiences my mind has become increasingly silent and unbounded.The difference between this spacious inner silence and thinking feeling etc has become clearer and stronger.These changes continue inspite of the fact that I have not practiced TM on a regular basis for more than three years.A more dramatic example would be the case of Susan Segal who had stopped practcing TM for 5 yrs prior to expereincing a profound and permanent change in her awareness.I believe that there are many more examples of people who have experienced profound changes in conciousness as result of TM(eg Peter,Tom T).To say that TM doesn't potentially result in profound and permanent changes seems more like a bias you have about TM.(frankly you do seem pretty invested in putting it down).I would agree with your point that many people my make more progress towards enlightenment through other spirtual paths.I also think that as LBS has said previously that not all states of realization are the same and the way you "gained" enlightenment will influence how you expereince being enlighented.Kevin
