Interesting choice of responses Lawson. You decided to go with the assumption that I am unfamiliar with my own TM practice or don't have more than 5 advanced techniques. Personally I would have gone with "I didn't get that technique so I don't know anything about it" myself. But that's just me. Of course then you would miss an opportunity to be pugnaciously grumpy in your response, so I can understand why you didn't go that way. Of course like all true sciences, in Vedic science all these techniques are shrouded in secrecy and we are instructed not to talk about them because sciences always try to have as little transparency as possible and it is fond of swearing people to secrecy so the techniques of the science can't be discussed openly to further our understanding.
