It's lived, that's the whole point, what else is the use of contacting silence if not to bring it out and live it ? And, at least for me, there is a ongoing discrimination and evaluation of everything seen, tasted, heard and read. The more positivity and universality, the more heart and mind expands. Likewise, when reading foul language, swearing and namecalling from someone like MJ it evokes sadness and contraction, not for me but on behalf of the soul involved and his likeminded comrades. Like you wrote: "As I have touched on before, you do not make a convincing case, for why a person shouldn't take up the practice of TM."

I never mention it to anyone off this forum, nor have I been in a TMO facility, in twenty years. On the one hand, it is baked in, so why bother, and on the other hand, everyone has free will, and can do as they please. You are clearly a very likable fanatic regarding TM. Perhaps that is the difference, I am not a fanatic - There are elements in my life that I am forever grateful to have, but they are also my business, and no one else's. I don't mind hearing different points of view, but I cannot help but evaluate them, on the basis of who is sharing them with me. As I have touched on before, you do not make a convincing case, for why a person shouldn't take up the practice of TM. ---In [email protected], <mjackson74@...> wrote : most of us here are neutral about TM and the Movement's machinations That obviously doesn't include Steve, Buck, Nabby, Feste, Sri, Share, Doc, Dan - so who are the "most of us?"

I do, and I sense you to do. But, I confess, I do derive a certain amount of pleasure, or I guess amusement would be a better word, to see him wind himself up every morning, and perform the same routine. "Hi,- I-am-Michael" "Have-I-told-you-today-that-the-TMO-is-a-bad-organization" "Oh-I-haven't?" "Shame-on-me. I-will-start-right-in" You are correct Steve. I DO like MJ, in spite of his insistence on repeating himself day in and day out. But I can tell he's a good guy and, anyway, I love the fact he is a baker and that he worked his ass off at MIU and I believe he was probably treated ignorantly while he was there so I sympathize. And I don't really mind that he has this need to dredge up all the dirt he can find on the Movement and anyone involved therein - it just happens to be his thing and a very large part of his participation here (hope you don't mind me talking about you, MJ, as if you weren't here 'cause I know you are. I must admit that I am a tad hurt that I am not invited to the Amsterdam dinner, however.). So, I let him ramble on and I watch his delight as bawee takes up the ball and runs around like an idiot with it adding his own 1 cent to the general dissension of the naysayers. It is so funny though because most of us here are neutral about TM and the Movement's machinations so most of what MJ writes is positively wasted on us drudges. I feel kinda bad because he puts a lot of energy into this and I am such a bad audience but, yes, I can't help but like the guy just like I can't help thinking you're a really good soul as well. I do believe in souls, you know even though they have not been scientifically proven to exist.
