But there's only One Transcendental. You'd have to be checked by an experienced checker in order to asertain if you actually were transcending and practicing your technique correctly. That's the whole point about TM - you can be checked to see if you're practicing effortlessly and without strain. How are you going to check all those thousands of people practicing all those powerful techniques? It would be difficult for you to check just the people in your own town let alone the entire planet! Any technique that provides the opportunity for transcending is transcendental meditation. It's just that TM is the *ideal* technique. Or, you could take the word of an Indian fakir. You must be careful with these powerful techniques and get checked at least every eighteen months, according to Marshy. Look what happened to Gopi Krishna! > they'll burn your hands. > Get a grip, Barry, you're the guy playing with the fire sticks, the sacred ash and the punk!
