I take that as a compliment rather than an insult - for whatever its worth I realized through experience that other techniques are just a valuable for progress on the spiritual path as the TM mantras, thus I expanded my ability to experience the Absolute in my physiology. What I used to experience solely in TM meditation I began, while exclusively still doing only TM as my sole practice, in activity as well. Meaning I felt the same feelings and energy in my body and around my body when in activity that I had begun to feel when transcending during TM practice.
After I began other meditation techniques and doing other things like, say, Holotropic breathwork, I began to feel the "lively transcendent" more often. Upon reading Eckhart Tolle's The Power of NOW, this experience began to grow more frequent. As things are now, to feel what I used to feel only in the deepest TM meditations I only need close my eyes and relax for a few seconds. Now the feeling of Divine Energy or Pure Awareness is my experience about 70 - 75% of the time. Relaxing my awareness makes the experience much more powerful, or more intense. I still allow my personal awareness to get caught up in egoic concerns (especially when I am trying to fix some glitch on my computer), but the Pure Awareness is always there. I am happy with what my personal practice gave me, happy with what other practices have given me and happy I came out of the illusion that TM is the "jet plane" to enlightenment. So yeah, no need to get checked nor to do one practice exclusively. ________________________________ From: nablusoss1008 <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2012 1:15 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: TM Rumors --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Michael Jackson <mjackson74@...> wrote: > > Hilarious on 2 fronts - I don't exclusively do TM That certainly explains your posts here more than you would care to know.
