It is interesting that you post this - this was the very sort of thing that Maharishi would say that inspired me and my friends, kept us going on the path to enlightenment - this was the thing that gave us more impetus to be regular, and especially to go one rounding courses.
Now I see that it was one way Maharishi marshaled the troops to continue to stay connected to him and to feed his organization money. Now that I believe as Eckhart Tolle teaches that most meditations are another way of doing (as opposed to just being) and that one does not need to use a mantra to experience Being, it shows the basic advertising tenant of TM is untrue or perhaps superfluous - that one needs a mantra, specifically the TM mantra to transcend, or experience Being - my how times change. Knowledge may not be different in different states of awareness, but it certainly is perceived differently. ________________________________ From: Buck <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 10:38 AM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: The Fulfillment of Religion Give us this Day our Daily Bread.
