People like DOJ say that the TM technique is not religious in and of itself. Simple TM doesn't appear overly strange to people and they might experience some relaxation benefit without buying into the whole TM metaphysical shebang. Note that DOJ says nothing about God consciousness or the like when he talks about the positive effects of TM. I bet $10 that not one non-believer has ever reached God consciousness. Without the belief system,which must be taken on faith, my bet is that most likely give TM up. (There is no research on this and can't be without the TMO's cooperation). Anecdotally, everyone I personally know who learned TM 2 X 20 no longer meditate except for the ones who went on to learn the siddhis and who buy into the theories of consciousness, etc. I can't imagine doing the siddhis unless I at least bought some of the theory behind them. Otherwise, it is just plan weird with the grunting and hopping and bronchial tubes, etc., no ifs, ands or buts about it. So anyone have any actual evidence that MUM has dropped SCI?
