>Not one TM critic had the balls to challenge you personally for saying TM
had a positive effect on your mother. Why is that, Rick? Fucking cowards
that they are, the fundy TM critics are willing to make up shit about
someone you posted about and ignore what you posted about your mother. If
they had any integrity at all they would challenge your positive claims for
TM as well as the claims of the post you shared with us. Let's see them hold
YOUR feet to the fire. Ha! Ain't gonna happen. Cowards.
The person who sent me the account of initiating the woman in the hospital
has been a good friend for 40 years. So I have no reason to doubt her
account. I can understand why others might doubt it, just as Nabby and
others doubt my conversations with MMY's "girlfriends." People wear the same
blinders whichever side of the fence they are on. I strive to eliminate the
fence, take in all the evidence no matter how paradoxical it may be, and
then try to make sense of it all, or just live with uncertainty.
Regarding my own story, I was a druggy, weak, paranoid, mentally muddled,
directionless teenage high school dropout when I learned TM. I experienced
dramatic benefits from day one. I immediately felt a strengthening,
clarifying influence. I never again took drugs, got back into school, and
have led a productive and fulfilled life. One of reasons I don't like black
and white thinking is that I think people are selling themselves short.
Rather than embracing wholeness, which necessitates being honest with what
is, they're trying to distort reality to suit their prejudices, which is
another way of saying "preserve their egos."
