I find it interesting that there was an earlier post about deeksha or something, where the crown energy could apparently be brought forth via an outside 'technician', and yet with willing and devoted participants, even they didn't get a big 'wow factor' immediately. And these were people that were ready and willing for a spiritual influence, and right in proximity of someone who could apparently facilitate this energy transfer, or eruption. So this brings into question the real world mechanics of the ME effect. I don't doubt that it is theoretically possible given TM group dynamics, and the rationale I recall makes sense. Its just that I'm not sure enough attention is being paid to the countervailing force of our individual karmas and/or intentions, and whether such a powerful force within each of us can actually be 100% affected by a subtle external influence? aka you can lead a horse to water... ------------------------ Yahoo!
