It would be egotistical of me to judge people giving their lives to what I might find to be pointless spiritual pursuits. The cloistered nuns in prayer. Monks meditating their lives away. The Tm'ers on the Invincible America course. But when they are friends or relatives I can worry about them if they aren't taking care of themselves. Much better than pimping the pursuit as science, or the one and true way. I have much more respect for the siddha going to the domes everyday on the Invincible America program than I do of Nader, Bevan, Haglin, et. al.
