Vaj is conflicted between letting go with TM and being bound to the same old worthless traditions. that is why he wrestles with TM so, trying to fit it into a box that it doesn't fit in.
the Maharishi was not one to resurrect the fools and worthlessness of the past, rather to make a clean, efficient break of all of that, teaching meditation as a dynamic, innocent and effortless practice, with nothing left for the ego to hang onto. Vaj, in his fear and ego will continue to challenge TM for years to come, always in conflict, never able either to just let go. others here feel the same allegiance to ego, not able to see TM for what it simply is, instead forcing it into old categories of mind, and fighting all who disagree; a last outpost for already dead ideas. they see it as rigor, whereas i see it as rigor mortis.:) --- In [email protected], "raunchydog" <raunchy...@...> wrote: > > --- In [email protected], Vaj <vajradhatu@> wrote: > > > > > > On Mar 28, 2009, at 10:13 PM, Sal Sunshine wrote: > > > > > On Mar 28, 2009, at 8:47 PM, Vaj wrote: > > > > > >>> This is not like any other thought.
