It goes deeper than that. When I first joined FFL about 5 or 6 years ago, you never spoke about TM as someone who had even done it. Your big thing at the time was promoting Buddhist practices. It is much more recent, about the last two years, that you have tried to convince people that you practiced and taught TM.
To the extent that you claim these things, I don't care, but when you use these false credentials to bolster the things you say regarding TM and Maharishi, that is dirty pool and you know it. Why have you stopped talking about your experiences of Buddhist practices? These are recent, and no doubt far more interesting. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Vaj <vajradhatu@...> wrote: > > > On Jan 17, 2012, at 12:08 PM, Xenophaneros Anartaxius wrote: > > > In my short time on this forum, I have never felt Vaj was a TM > > meditator, so perhaps I have missed something.
