As we all know, awakening and spiritual unfoldment appears once the soul has roasted, purified or unwound the densely and deeply packed intertwined samskaras built up after almost infinite births. And then theres the collective karma stuff too. As we have all experienced, when this stuff is roasted, it may pop like popcorn for a while: very unstable, chaotic, random, not following any sense of order or rationality, way overheated, etc. Or we can think of it as unwinding of deep multi-dimensional knots. When doing so, lots of mess all over the floor and the knots unwind. The faster the evolutionary and spiritual unfoldment process, the hotter, more random and irrational is the corn popping, the messier and sloppy the floor becomes with all the unwinding. ERGO, the fastest technique must also produce the messiest, most heated, irrational, sloppy, unstable, chaotic side effects. Well my friends, I have been lurking at a site called FFL whose posters have a long history with TM. And I have to say, I have never, ever, its not even close, seen a group of seekers so messed up, twisted, overheated, irrational, petty, sloppy and unstable as these guys. Even those who have not practiced TM for decades -- they too are bat shit crazy. Thus the effects of TM appear not only profoundly powerful, but also long lasting. the heavy purifiction and its side effects last long after the practice is stopped. It appears from the longevity of their postings, some 10 years, some 20 years back to older forums. Sp it appears that it may take 6-12 lifetimes of this incredibly distasteful, in your face anger, hostility, random, chaotic, sloppy behavior to roast all the samskaras and unwind all of the knots. But certainly this HELL for a dozen lifetimes is worth the eternal grace of full unfoldment. So I signed up. I am now practicing TM twice a day and ALREADY the purification process has begun. So F* you your f*u*ing lame assholes, join me on the awesome adventure -- it you are not too fing SUUPID and dense to get my beautifully laid out points. So STFU and lets finally get serious about full spiritual unfoldment -- or simply continue with your decaying head up your smelly ass. Your choice.
