Michael, if you really believed that it's as you say, a crap shoot, then your posts about TM would be at least 50% positive. But they are not. I'd say they're about 95% negative. To follow your analogy, I think you're attempting to slip some loaded dice into the game!

As has been covered in many posts here and elsewhere, the practice of the technique itself does seem to cause mental/emotional problems in many people. It is really a crap shoot as to who will benefit from TM and who will have detriment from it. The TM apologists would say "Oh, that only happens if someone has an already existing mental problem." Even though that argument sort of undermines the main gist of TM which is if you transcend through TM, you release all kinds of stress and karma and you magically get better on all levels by dipping your individual awareness into the home of all awareness. If that transcending process through TM was a fabulous as TMO claims and Marshy claimed, then it should by rights and by logic alleviate ALL suffering (which is in fact what liar Marshy claimed). That should include all forms of mental and emotional imbalances. The worst problems seem to occur when people live and work in TM communities and especially when they meditate endlessly on rounding courses. All of the problems that occur from TM practice were always exacerbated by the ridiculous lies and denials by Marshy and all his sycophantic course leaders. ________________________________ From: "awoelfleba...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]" <FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, August 12, 2014 1:15 PM Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Damn It ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mjackson74@...> wrote : As I have stated before, many times, there are those who do TM who still lead balanced lives, have good sense, don't allow themselves to be fooled by Movement bs and generally act like they have some sense. Most of these do not participate on FFL. TM becomes a problem when the practice of it helps one suspend their common sense and act like fools. Sal can still enjoy a pint and a fight which makes him a fine fellow in my book.So in the most simplistic of summaries: it comes down to the Movement and MMY and all those in his employ and not necessarily TM as a practice that you are objecting to. ________________________________ From: "Share Long sharelong60@...

Dang. Double dang. I'll miss him. Next thing we'll learn was that Robin learned to meditate at one point and the anti-meditation lobby here will tell us here that it was all because he meditated that he killed himself. -Buck, still on the planet this morning.
