I think it would be instructive for everyone to watch Rick's latest Buddha at the Gas Pump - where Mark Landau talks about his fantastic experiences of awareness and at the same time he was still fearful, anxious etc. it does bring one to doubt the long term efficacy of TM and perhaps any sort of meditation - its interesting to me to note that Eckhart Tolle has consistently said that no one gets enlightened by meditating.

Consider this; Curtis is the biggest Maharishi-hater ever to have graced this forum. The level of hate is so intense that even The Turq and Vaj becomes mere amateurs in comparison. If you want to know what Maharishi felt about Christianity all you have to do is to see the video below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIWqJ8tJ8JU > > > > > ________________________________ > From: nablusoss1008 <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Sunday, December 9, 2012 6:28 PM > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: And so this is Christmas > > > Â > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "feste37" <feste37@> wrote: > > > > If MMY did have a negative view of Christianity it was because of what he > > saw as its emphasis on suffering, which was directly contrary to his > > message that life is bliss.
