wgm, one of the most interesting tidbits I've heard recently is that Maharishi
once explained enlightenment as the ultimate relaxation, though the person who
told me wasn't sure if the word was ultimate, but something along those lines.

Sometimes if I need to settle down in activity, I'll simply track my next five
breaths. No trying to slow it down. No trying to deepen it. Just paying
attention to my next five breaths. So far, it works every time.

I would agree, and far from it, even to the extent that he may have NEVER even
experienced it TC to begin with. MMY used to honestly say in the beginning
(which is where most people are...and remain, i.e. beginners) it's like
perceiving a house in the distance, enough to know it's not a tree (or words to
that effect).
My point being, even if you only experience a MOMENT of bubbling bliss, it is
so enrapturing everything else pales in comparison, he apparently/perhaps
obviously didn't even have that! Which would be the common experience of most
TMers In short, SC was not transcending, nor do most meditators, deal with it!
No thought, no mantra and NO bliss equals NO transcendental consciousness! As,
even a moment of that bliss is more rewarding than all of worldly pleasures one
could have in a lifetime, combined. How do I know, OK, I experienced it ONCE.
During TM I fell asleep and awoke on the other side of deep sleep, it was pure
bliss (I don't even know if that would qualify as transcending other than I had
that incredible experience.
Think of the bubble diagram, the transcendental is beyond relativity, it IS
enlightenment. IMHO

wgm, what I'd feel safe concluding is that Stephen Collins wasn't established
in bliss consciousness.
As for hyperbole, a friend of mine, whose been told he's in BC, says that
hyperbolic speech is a cultural aspect of life in India. I'd add that for a
practical visionary like Maharishi, his job is to offer the highest vision and
a means to attain it.
Hmmm, I guess Charlie meant 7 HUMAN lifetimes?

What you CAN conclude Share is that Mr. Collins wasn't transcending to 'bliss
consciousness' ( "Let the Bliss begin", on wall behind Youtube interview at
David Lynch event ), if he were? do you really think he would have been
molesting girls? Like I said, he never got his promised banana. ;-)
Doesn't mean there is NO bliss consciousness, just that MMY's rhetoric is
mostly hyperbole. TM may, eventually, lead you to enlightenment, but more
likely in 7 lifetimes life Charlie Lutes suggests, which is more consistent
with the proper understanding of Yoga.
TM is merely watered down Yoga....still good, just, keep it in context.
