But I have to give good neuro-transmitter genetics, fitness level,hours of performance and growing older the biggest credit for my current state of mind today. Those are the variables that changed years after I stopped meditating. And I am in a much better place mentally and physically than I was in 1989 when I stopped meditating. So to give meditation more than a passing mention at this point of my life, I would have to still buy into Maharishi's whole model of consciousness development. > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "curtisdeltablues" <curtisdeltablues@> > wrote: > <snip> > > The first is what do what I'll to call trans-personal > > unitive experiences mean?
