---On the contrary! In terms of comparisons (as a percentile)...; I'd be in the upper 1% in terms of real investigations. In the Sant Mat tradition alone I've been initiaed by Kirpal Singh, Paul Twitchell, Charan Singh, Thakur Singh, Darshan Singh; and am familiar with the teachings of a number of other such teachers. In Buddhism (....etc). I've investigated TM thoroughly, having practiced it continuously since 1967; but unlike you, I have no particular biased "investment" in anything other than strictly scientific evaluations. If somebody came to me and said: try (standing on my head and rubbing my tummy...) saying that would be of some benefit, I would give it a try. It's simply that your anti-TM/anti-MMY attitude sucks; smacking of some underlying mental aberration. I'm not a MMY-bot; but your ongoing diatribes are most unusual.
