Or, they've DONE WHAT THEY FELT LIKE DOING. In any case, "they" aren't suggesting anything about your "other techniques" when they point out that you brag about your experiences with those techniques while insulting their experiences. "They" are DESCRIBING YOUR INAPPROPRIATELY BOASTFUL AND INSULTING BEHAVIOR.
Think about this with regard to the "one-downsmanship" I mentioned earlier about meditation experiences. I would suspect that the people who suggest that I am trying to "brag" about my experiences with other techniques when I talk about them openly have never learned another meditation technique since they learned TM. They've all stayed "guru-whipped" and "cult-whipped," and have DONE WHAT THEY WERE TOLD TO DO. The bottom line in matters of "meditation experience" is very simple, and something that the cultists wish to distract you from. If a person has never learned and personally experienced a technique other than the first one they were taught, they can say NOTHING meaningful about the other technique. To attempt to do so is to be a cultist, parroting what you were told *about* a technique or techniques that -- in the case of TM -- you were *also* told NEVER TO PRACTICE.
