as for me, I can only point out that TM has not enabled you to pay very good attention to your environment - as I have stated on several occasions I have used my TM mantras whenever I feel like it, which these days is not very often.

Sure, they had their heyday - a few decades ago. Now, looking back hazily on those times, they stand up as those to be believed, the DEFINITIVE VOICES regarding the technique, its founder, and any other pearls that spew forth. Its just so much tripe. Being ordinarily skeptical, doubting stuff I am told, is second nature to me - an excellent survival tool, imo. So I can appreciate airing doubts about...anything. However, how long does it take to integrate something THAT YOU NO LONGER PRACTICE into your life? Why the public fixation on something that no longer has value to you? Are you warning us? (how condescending) Are you saving us? (how laughable) Are you opening our eyes? (see above) Why are you *devoting* your time and thought, to something you no longer do? Color me Puzzled.
