Actually, we had some good talk going on with him. He was an ex TMer teacher, governor etc. I forget his name, but at some point the criticism and probing of Scientology got to be too much, and he bailed. >
Oh really, that would have been interesting, I've always thought there must be something to it otherwise they wouldn't all get so involved. I read Dianetics myself at 18 and thought about going for one of their personality tests where they tell you what's wrong with you and what help you need. And also what highly expensive courses you need to go on. Luckily Ron Hubbard died before I could get into it and all the stories came out about what a coke-head and how dysfunctional the org was. I probably would have asked a fair few tricky questions of this person myself, after reading the unoffical biog of Hubbard - The Bare Faced Messiah- I was pretty glad I only ended doing TM! But then, their state of being "Clear" is obviously Hubbards sci-fi lingo for enlightenment, is there really that much difference between the practise of stress release in scientology and eastern practises. I can see much potential for a comparison. They lose me with Xenu though. Boy oh boy, do they. I heard Maharishi say that if L. Ron Hubbard had been running the TM Movement, it would have accomplished its goals long ago.
