Do your still TMSP practicing friends have tea with you, or do they avoid you
so as to not catch the OTP disease?

Great, Salyavin! But did you ENJOY?
At first I liked the TMSP but after a while it was more of a drag than a
pleasure. Like TM I think most of the pleasure derived are from the effects are
you are told are happening but aren't really. When you forget the hyperbole
there isn't that much to TM (but I still enjoy it) I don't remember there being
much of anything to the TMSP at all, some nice experiences occasionally but
mostly the opposite.
And then I resented the amount of time it took before finally giving up, why it
took so long for me to quit is a sign of the teaching methods effectiveness,
being involved in cultish behaviour like that can make it hard to look honestly
at what you are doing. But one day, I looked around the flying room and
concluded the whole thing was bollocks and walked out.
I have been much happier ever since. Others I know still like it, go figure.

MJ, surely some qigong and kung fu programs offer certificates of mastery for

I always thought that I should get a black belt for my yogic flying. I was

me. Sigh.

turq, if you are genuinely interested in such a path, the Oneness group headed
by Bhagavan and Amma claim lots of enlightened followers, even give them
certificates. This is the age in which we live, a path for every kind of
seeker.

It's not so much a rumor, more of a sales pitch or claim, but I've always
gotten a chuckle from "TM is the fastest path to enlightenment on the planet,"
coming from an organization that in over 50 years has been unable to produce
even a single person they can point at and say, "This person is enlightened,
and got that way as a result of practicing TM."
Think of it...over 50 years with a single "success story" they're willing to
present in public, and they still claim to be "the fastest path."
