Are there a lot of sadistic TM teachers out there who enjoy giving
their victims useless mantras?

All mantras are useless when you think about it - it's only when you let
go of the mantra that the transcending begins. - according to MMY, TM is
NOT the cause of enlightenment. Pure consciousness is already there -
all it needs to be realized is to /let go of thinking/ - meditation is
not what you think.

There a stories of Christians who learn TM and replace their given
syllable with a word they feel comfortable with - "Love", "Jesus",
"Maranatha" - and seem to have perfectly satisfactory experiences.
I wonder if one day we could see brain-imaging devices at meditation
centres (centers) which could show immediately if someone was
meditating correctly. I think that could be a promising development as
otherwise teachers have to rely on a person's subjective report of
their session . . .
