Go figure. > So you are saying there is no such thing as > transcendental meditation? > There's no such thing as 'transcendental meditation'. That's just words MMY thought up in order to describe his meditation technique. In reality, there's only your perception. There's really no 'TM' - that's just an acronym invented by Jerry Jarvis to aid in communicating with other meditators. > I think you've painted yourself into a corner. > Everyone on the whole planet meditates. There's probably not a single person that doesn't pause once or twice a day to take stock of their own mental contents. And, we're all transcending, all the time, even those without a technique! Meditation means to 'think things over', so meditation is based on thinking. When you claim you're teaching 'TM', or 'Tantra', you're just making up names for snake-oil. LoL! Wake up, Barry, and think, then go beyond thought. LoL!
