just help you feel a bit refreshed on the train on the way home from work. This is what the vast majority of non-True Believers yet TM apologists like Ann and Steve believe - since it made them feel good on the train going home, lets ignore all the other crap that comes with it. That is a silly paragraph, MJ. I am no apologist for TM - I don't care enough about it all to bother to be one. However, I believe in hearing both sides of a story and to carefully consider other facts and not just the opinions of a few people here. I am sorry to have to tell you that I ultimately don't care if TM is a sham or not. You can try and convince the world that it is and others are welcome to believe it is a truly great technique and MMY was a saint. He is now dead so he can not continue to do things to drive you crazy - that is a blessing. You are no longer involved with the Movement so for that you can be thankful that, unless you piss them off enough, they have no power over you that you don't already give them. I ignore "all the other crap" that purportedly goes on the in Movement because, frankly, I don't give a crap. As I have said before, the worst case scenario for TM in my books is that it does nothing and the best case is that it is bringing people to deeper realization and even enlightenment (if there is such a thing). But "apologist", is not what I am. Be careful that you don't define an apologist as one who isn't anti something. As Share loves to gush, don't throw out the baby with the bath water and it is these TM apologists who are not fanatics that give the Movement far more credibility with those who are just getting introduced to TM through D Lynch and his shenanigans than if TM were purely promoted by whack jobs like Nabby and those idiots on the Committee for Stress Free Schools who CLAIM to have no affiliation with the TMO, but are just concerned businessmen who just happen to know TM is the most effective remedy for school problems - no affiliation with the TMO except that is for the pedophile co-directors they have on staff.
