Marshy and the leaders of the Movement were the ones who turned it all into a
cult dummy

You must have been taught a different basic "TM"
than I was taught.
There was no mention of any beliefs in my instructions from
Jerry
Jarvis. My instructions were so simple I could repeat the
here in just a
few words: Sit quietly and close your eyes, then feel the
body as a
whole; start the mantra, just like any other thought; when
you realize
you're not thinking about the mantra, just come back to
it. Do this for
about 20 minutes morning and evening. If you need tobe
checked on your
mediation, it's free. Nobody mentioned anything about
God or gods in my
instruction.
It's pretty difficult to make a religion out of a simple
stress relief
program. From what I've read, you may have slipped into
a
trance-induction state. Some people also have a condition
known as
susceptibility in which they become very prone to being
manipulated in
order to get some free work done, such as baking bread for
students in a
cafeteria and living in a pod.
You took a simple relaxation technique and tried to turn it
into a
religion - and when it became unsatisfying you quit the TM,
but kept the
conditioned mindset. In psychology this is called
transference - you
transferred your own personal spiritual failure to believe
into a means
to blame others for your down disapointment. If you had just
stuck with
the basic TM instead of trying to turn it into a cult, you
would
probably have done much better.
You failed to realize that MMY or the TMO have NOTHING to do
with your
transcending.
