7Ray, good observation. You are completely correct, these are fallacious, ignorant, anti-science and vile accusations being made against TM and the meditating community here. These critics simply do not know what they are talking about. Instead folks should meditate here together with the group and experience it for themselves and not rely on some quitters infected with their own brand of personal hate to spin what is going on here. Large deep meditation happens here twice a day. It is a fabulous place for larger spiritual practice. Mid-day the Pundits up on their campus are chanting in their groups. Sit up there and meditate too. It is all an awesome field effect for spiritual people. Experience totally refutes the absolute bitter negativity of the criticism in these guys, -Buck

I mean, sure, we all like to hear outrageous stories, but when that's the main content of what one's posts, it does get a little predictable. Just sayin', as they say mjackson74 writes: The assertion that world peace can be achieved by people doing a practice that has never produced promised results on any level (meaning no peace, no true levitation, invisibility, etc), the assertion that yagyas make any discernible difference, that living in a vastu home guarantees alleviation of life problems when the actual opposite has been seen right there in Fairfield IS a "ridiculous extreme" point of view.

For every $200 he made, he had to send them $150. For every $200 million he made, he had to send them $150 million. That would explain a great deal about TM-related pricing over the years... :-) . .
