"While they may in fact require no more strenuous practice than TM'ers re-introducing their mantra to their mind."
Yep, we're getting so old that it's no longer good enough that we were "introduced" to our meditation mantra way back when. Yep, we can't be practicing correctly if we simply remember it as originally given. Now we are declared to have "Alzheimer mantra syndrome" where the mantra needs to be "re-introduced" to our mind because we have forgotten it. Must just be like reintroducing our spouse and children to us again at a cousin's funeral when the family gathers to pay their respects. Looking puzzled: "You say you're who? "So you really are?" "Well I'll be damned!" "Do I have any more?" "Golly, I thought I must've given that one up for good." . --- In [email protected], "Buck" <dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote: > > Here is the large TM assertion recycled, that buddhistic practices necesarily require 'strenuous practice' and therefore are no good. While they may in fact require no more strenuous practice than TM'ers re-introducing their mantra to their mind. This TM paper has a large assumption that is quintessential TM think. That TM is the best and only. It's the argument of the TM 'preparatory' lecture received prior to learning TM.
