The basic 3 days checking course is full of religious belief about what is happening in TM aside from the Puja issue. If I was hanging out with monks and joined them in the Jesus prayer (using the name of Jesus as a mantra to transcend) then I would be doing it as a secular practice. But that doesn't mean that it is OK to teach the Jesus prayer in schools does it? Despite TM teacher's denials, I believe TM is a religious practice supported by traditional religious interpretations of the experience. That doesn't make it a bad thing for people who want that sort of thing, it is just not OK to teach in schools IMO. > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "curtisdeltablues" <curtisdeltablues@> > wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Zoran Krneta <krneta.zoran@> wrote: > > > > > > Meditation is for Self realization and God realization. > > > > Not when I do it. > > > > > Secular meditation simply does not exist. > > > > Sure it does.
