So, what exactly, is "TM?"
According to MMY, "TM is the passing of the cognitive attention from one
level of consciousness to another, sutler level of consciousness. This
passing back and forth between the gross and finer levels of
consciousness is what makes possible the opportunity for transcending."
Everyone meditates a few times a day and pauses once or twice to take
stock of their own mental contents. And, we are all transcending, all
the time, even without a technique. So, what do you think is so special
about TM meditation that would cause a person to go blind or grow hair
on their palms?
Why can't you answer this simple question?
In fact, you're talking about nothing - TM is just an acronym made up by
Jerry Jarvis in order to facilitate communication. In reality, there's
no TM - it's just thinking things over - that's what people do when they
meditate. Meditation is just what intelligent people do. It's not
complicated.

Meditation is defined as simply "to think things over." Based on
this definition, anyone who thinks can meditate. So, following
your logic, a person with depression shouldn't think, unless they
do so "gingerly"? What!?
