Yee-ha! As a sometimes-mostly-lurker here, I want to thank you for bringing out the BIG GUNS! You've just upped the entertainment value significantly for me. :-) By way of (re-?)introduction, I'd like to play along ... > Where did you learn TM/TMSP? Reading, PA / the Academy in the Catskills. > What were the dates and places of initiation? Wow. Who'd even wanna bother remembering those tedious details?! But I'll give it my best shot: Reading, PA, October, 1970. Bonus points: Initiator was David Katz, late of cheesecake-production fame. More bonus points: I once attended a Charlie Lutes lecture. 1st advanced technique: Philadelphia, PA, ca. 1972. Bonus points: Initiator was that nasty lady who was, I think, the only one who was handing out techniques at that time. > Who were your TM/TMSP course teachers? Eesh. Apparently GMO-brain has settled in. Lemme probe ... SCI Course: Orono, ME, ca. 1971. Teachers? No idea. T.T. part one: Catskills Academy, ca. 1974. Teachers were some nice guy whose name I totally forget and some nice gal named Jean(ne). And I'm pretty sure that Rick was some sort of assistant teacher at that one. [Hiya Rick! :-) :-) :-) I'm the guy whom that nice guy whose name I totally forget described as "one who speaks in aphorisms". I'm sure you recall. Heh.] T.T. part two: Biarritz, France, ca. 1976. No recollection of teachers' names, though I could still recite the mantras list for ya if ya like. Sidhis/Governors course: Catskills Academy, ca. 1978. Don't recall any teachers' names. Never hopped, either. Poo. (I could also provide a scan of my now-useless Governor of the Age of Enlightenment card if I were actually interested in proving anything to anyone.) Now to my questions ... > You should take these questions seriously. > You are perilously close to being branded on FFL as a bold-face liar. This has me intrigued. I'm not familiar with the branding process on this forum. Is it done by popular vote, or simply by unilateral decree? If the former, how much participation here would qualify one to vote? Thanks in advance, and, as always, JGD! p.s. People, please trim your posts. Seriously.
