/The anonymous informant that posted this seems to know next to nothing about meditation, even though he makes some TMO status claims about having been initiated into TM practice. Everyone knows that basic meditation is based on thinking - meditation means to "think things over". It's not complicated.
So, how could thinking be bad? It doesn't even make sense - a relaxation technique is supposed to reduce the stress of thinking all the time in order to give our mind a rest. Everyone thinks every day and everyone pauses once or twice a day to take stock of their own mental contents. We couldn't make it through a single day without thinking about things. So, everyone meditates to a certain extent. It's just what intelligent people do. Apparently the informant that posted this must have misunderstood the instructions for TM meditation. Maybe he is just a poser. Go figure. There has never been any scientific studies that indicate that thinking is bad. Correct me if I'm mistaken about this.
