People said exactly the same about LSD casualties: if you were a burn-out that was because you were primed to go psycho anyway and the acid trip just tipped the balance. And how can you do a double-blind study on the effects of TM? A double-blind means neither the researchers NOR THE SUBJECTS would know who had taken a placebo and who a drug. How can you not be aware that you're practising TM? ---In [email protected], <punditster@...> wrote : On 8/10/2014 12:49 PM, Share Long sharelong60@... mailto:sharelong60@...
