I think your issue is that when responses are made in regards to a particular path you are assuming that is what I "Vaj" or someone else believes. Paths are relative.

In discussion it might be helpful to choose the way-of-seeing that meets the subject matter at hand and thus we may discuss different ways. There's a lot of ways do do it, don't get so stuck if we are discussing one. But if we are saying we want to retain > the five objects of desire (i.e. the five sense's objects) AND achieve > Buddhahood in one lifetime, that does kinda narrow things down.
Yes, I guess this is where we differ -- I honestly don't think any "path" is going to take us anywhere other than here, and so I don't think Buddhahood can be "achieved" at all. Rather, "we" do what "we" do until "we" don't, if you see what I mean. For those who swing that way, TM appears to be as good a "path" as any to eventually abandon into the remembrance of who we always have been. All the "paths" are in the realest sense nothing but a distraction, a wonderful sleight of hand. This is not to say they don't serve a very real purpose, as only misdirection can "fool" us into eventually accepting what always is :-) To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
