Hey, I, unlike the TMO am willing to admit if I have been in error - I am willing to believe a great deal, but not without evidence, and the TMO in 60 years have offered st best flawed studies done by folks whose gravy train is TM - and you have to go beyond the "studies" and see what the deal is on the ground. I don't give a tinker's damn what Oprah, Hugh Jackman or any TM so-called scientist says about TM when I have seen the dysfunction TM brings with my own eyes. Now I will admit that if one does TM at home AND HAS TO TAKE CARE OF A FAMILY AND WORK A FULLTIME JOB one may have more balance. BUT when you have TM for TM's sake in places like Livingston Manor or MIU, you have a facility filled with the TM walking dead. -------------------------------------------- On Wed, 4/16/14, lengli...@cox.net <lengli...@cox.net> wrote:

To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, April 16, 2014, 4:53 PM Have you ever contemplated how you would feel if studies like the effects of TM on PTSD in African war refugees are at least partially confirmed by dis-interested parties? What about if I'm right that Dietrich Lehmann and friends will soon publish research on TM that shows that TM has very much the opposite effect on the brain than they found in this study? http://www.amaye.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/med-connectivity-EEG-tomog.pdf To my ears, you are sounding progressively more shrill as evidence mounts that TM practice isn't as stupid as you say it is and that the TM organization isn't as single-mindedly evil as you say it is.

The science is a joke, it is a bunch of people who feed off the Movement saying here is our finding - believe it cuz we say its true and don't pay attention to anything else. I finally had sense enough to conduct my own research into consciousness and into practical reality on the ground with the TMO and discovered that once I stopped thinking that all the crappy stuff that happens in life is something good cuz the Movement says it is, once I stopped turning a blind eye to the abuse the Movement visits on people everyday (you have been on the receiving end of that I see from the excerpt of Joe Webber's book I've been reading) and looked clearly at the results of TM in people's lives, saw the number of men and women who were quitting for various reasons I got the hell out and I am gonna stay out. I won't support an organization that lies, cheats, steals and ruins peoples' lives with no shame. You would do well to take a leaf from my book, cause even tho you have already experienced this, you don't seem to have gotten the memo that if you fool around with the TMO, you are gonna get treated like garbage. --------------------------------------------
