Carol, you really should learn TM, there's some really useful spiritual instruction in it. Even learn the TM checking notes and become a meditation checker too. Then the Patanjali technique kind of puts it all together, TM and buddhistic together. Actually the last technique Maharishi was working on before he died was a real nice blend of transcending and mindfulness. It was very subtle. Well, it was working on the subtle bodies in effect. It all certainly was there but don't get too distracted by Knapp. There's much larger things at stake. Most of us just filter the dissonance and take what is particularly good. Like a great saint once said when asked about the TM movement, "If you find a diamond in a pile of shit, take the diamond and wash it off". -Buck in the Dome
