Can you post anything that would validate your claim? A book quote, or some printed literature? I think not. In fact, the Marshy probably at no time ever made any promises to anyone about their state of consciousness, because it would be nonsensical. At the time he supposedly made this promise, at least a hundred people had already been practicing TM for over ten years. Go figure.
