You have to be exceptionally resource challenged, these days, to consider the TM knowledge, a "prison". Also, TM, imo, is not for people who want to over intellectualize everything. It either works, or it doesn't, and knowing what samput is, ultimately makes no difference, wrt its effectiveness. For one thing, these so-called Advanced Techniques are not a prerequisite for any other program, like the TMSP. Never saw the need for one, myself.

This, of course, is stuff that TM never students but information often explained in other traditions. Gotta step outside the "prison" to learn it. ;-) On 10/09/2013 12:29 PM, turquoiseb wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Bhairitu wrote: > > Aing is the bija.

"Gimme a Shri, gimme a Shri, gimme a Namah Namah Namah!" Would we call them the Pushpam Girls?
