Judy, I think you take the high road with regards to TM philosophy because it's what you're most comfortable with.   Now think about this.  If the philosophy wasn't simple and easy to understand could you really be such an expert on it? That is, could any of us?   Considering this stupefying simplicity, could it be anything besides a bit too simple?     ----- Original Message ----- From: authfriend To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2005 9:14 AM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: 'Former Meditator Creates High-Tech Enlightenment...' --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Vaj <[EMAIL PROTECTED]...> wrote: > > On Jul 28, 2005, at 7:30 AM, sparaig wrote: > > > Except, of course, you don't need toenails to be human.

In the TM context, witnessing is not a characteristic of meditation but of one's experience across the board. It *usually* refers to witnessing during activity, not during meditation, although it can certainly occur during meditation as well.
