Once again let's go back to the original question - I know TM teachers who smoke. Considering their long-time experience doing TM/Sidhi or Kriya/Sahaj techniques (or both), why do they feel the need to do some smoke?
Answers I have heard: 1. my meditation experience went flat. 2. transcendence is no big thing any more. 3. TM/Sidhi & Kriya/Sahaj is now boring. 4. Barry sez: chemical alteration of attention is faster (and easier ???) than meditation. Regardless of the antiquity of using smoke, I'm interested in why seasoned and experienced meditation teachers would tale it up after years of practice (including various degrees of long rounding). Once again, anyone here willing to take up the question?
