I am not sure why you often seem stuck in an either/or mentality. Sometimes an event at a young age can cause one to get stuck at a particular age emotionally.
Evidently whatever love and adoration you had for Marshy, the TMO and "Marshy's knowledge" has lodged itself in your head for many years now - so much so you can't admit you stopped doing TMSP cuz you know it is worthless or at least very ineffective. If you believed it to be of value you would do it. But you can't admit it because that's how the house of cards comes tumbling down. ________________________________ From: "[email protected] [FairfieldLife]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2014 4:35 PM Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: 8/21-Maharishi: We are bound by the non-awareness of the Unbounded not by material possessions It is hard to have a discussion with someone who knows everything, (and who I think just chided someone for acting Judylike in thinking they know everything), but my routine was do the TMSP at the local center. I did that up until the time, as I said, our first child was born. So, at that point, there was a major change in my lifestyle. Now, again, I don't expect that you will be able to grasp, how that could be, because you have a mindset that one is either, all in, or all out, when it comes to TM, but do me a favor, will ya, and give it shot? You up for a major challenge like that? Streeeeetch that brain a little. ---In [email protected], <mjackson74@...> wrote : you're a bullshitter - TMSP takes another 20 minutes twice a day - I did it while working full time for years - just can't quite get to the place where you'll say "I stopped the sutras cause they weren't doing a damn thing for me." ________________________________ From: "steve.sundur@...

If you wish to imbue some meaning that is not there, no one is going to stop you. No one at this point expects you to have any standard of objectivity when it comes to the TMO. Regarding the fact that I do not practice the TMSP, this may again be difficult to wrap around your head, but a person's spiritual path can change over time. Just because you discontinue one practice, doesn't mean that you disown it. In my case, I entered the householder way of life, and so time spent exclusively on spiritual pursuits was redirected in other ways. And then also, the focus of one's spiritual journey may change from being inward directed to more outward directed. I perfectly understand that you may have a difficult time with these concepts, since they involve nuances, and shades of grey, so to speak. I am not sure why you often seem stuck in an either/or mentality. Sometimes an event at a young age can cause one to get stuck at a particular age emotionally. I'm sure you will take that, as strictly an insult, but it is, as a matter of fact, true. On the other hand, maybe you consider yourself an exceptionally well adjusted person. Dunno. I don't expect any of this to make an impression on you
