That's probably the most well-known TM "hook" -- having been brainwashed into
believing there is only one "right" way to do things, and only one "right" way
to describe them. Authoritarianism masquerading as spiritual practice.

Unless they had learned from other paths, TMers tend to couch yoga in a
very strange SCI kind of way. Many seem to be incapable of putting experiences
in their own words.

I was once in a class with this lady who was teaching a healing thing,
there were three of us former TM'ers and she said the other two had what she
called a TM "hook," which she said was a psychological hook of some kind that
she had seen in TM'ers and former TM'ers. Dunno why she thought I didn't have
one.

Buck the depressed whiner and Willy the repetitive ranter, there's probably
psychological profiles of those types of psychosis somewhere.
I had a friend, an old TM teacher like me, who met somekind of a clearvoyant,
telling him that he had a TM implant in his brain, despite the fact that he had
left the movement, and surely had adopted his own opinions on a number of
things. He asked me at the time what I thought of it. Now I am not really a
believer in the implant idea, you know there could be all kind of implants,
from physical, to subtle physical etc. So I told him so.
But after leaving TM, some decades ago, I soon realized, that not only
stopping formal TM whoulc make me into a non-TMer. I realized that the concepts
and ideas, the ideology, if you want the 'brainwashing' has still left traces,
expectations, even in the subconscious.
I had to make a conscious effort to rid myself of some of the TM concepts,
which were like hooks clinging to me. I did this to an extend, so that I could
feel happy, and not 'miss' anything of my old TM environment, instead enjoying
my new life, and my new spiritual discoveries fully. (That's what about I told
my friend)
But later the thought, that there may indeed be something of a TM implant,
that still was people hooking up, didn't leave me. In fact, could this be one
explanation, how people here on FFL, both TB TMers (who will of course deny
they are TB), and anti-TMers alike are hooked to the same story? Infact could
also anti-cultist be fighting the same implant, that TMers so vehemently
defend?
This is just a thought, I know, I will probably not get a lot of support for
it, but could there be something to it?
