The last penny I gave the TMO was for fourth advanced technique back in the
90's.

Yeah, I found it very annoying to listen to him as well. Wish I could have
fallen asleep.I was usually good for about ten minutes but when he closed his
eyes and started rambling it was like WTF!
But the problem with dozing during rounding courses is that it can all sink in
and you start believing it all anyway, and before you know it you're saying "I
got some nature support today" when what you meant to say was "There was an
available table at the cafe this morning." There's a vast gulf in sanity
between those two statements, and it creeps up on you without you realising it,
and before you know it you've got the yagya service on speed dial....
Not that I ever did any of that obviously....

I once heard Maharishi talk about his early days while in Germany. He said that
the German teachers had told him, in so many words, "if you can't dazzle them
with brilliance, then baffle them with bullshit", an old W.C. Fields quote. Of
course M didn't use those words but that was the gist of it. Try to talk
*above* your audience. And of course, that explains the *flowery* speak the TMO
is noted for. You're so baffled by the idiocy of how something is presented to
you that the substance escapes your critical thinking.
If it wasn't for the food and the fact I like meditating I would have run a
mile when they said that I shouldn't try and understand it, but let it sink in
at a deep level. Marshy's lectures always annoyed me with the rambling and the
logical inconsistencies, I used to fall asleep and let it all wash over me
until the dinner gong went.

It's called *getting them in the door, by hook or by crook*. If you were a
student of foreign languages, someone would come up with a study that says TM
fine tunes the ear, making it easier to hear and thus pronounce words in a
foreign language better. Whatever floats your boat in other words.
Yes, I was being rhetorical. It's obvious he's a front man for the same old BS
from the TMO, blind 'em with science and hope they don't follow the links from
the impressive looking list of journal references.
Remember the references they cited when they wanted everyone to buy houses that
faced east? A list of 10 papers in the International Journal of Neurophysiology
no less, but follow the link and it turned out to be a bunch of interesting,
but irrelevant, stuff about how rats find their way about in the dark. Nothing
about inherent direction finding in mammals, and even if there was it would be
magnetic and therefore north/south based. Why would a mammal be east sensitive?
Anyway, they were obviously hoping no one would actually go and look.
I always thought Lynch was there to project an image simply of the benefits of
meditation without all the silly woo-woo that is associated with TM like the
levitation that isn't, and yagyas and world peace creation. That stuff goes
down well with the True Believer but the average Joe will see through it in a
second, hence the need for a new approach with a bit of apparently independent
celebrity endorsement. The website looks great but it looks like he's borrowed
the same approach - and undoubtably written by the same people - from the TMO.

My first glance at Lynch's website doesn't fill me with hope that the TMO have
started playing straight with the facts. He makes a claim for 51% reduction in
physical problems associated with HIV/AIDS and provides a link to references.
Follow the link and there are only two papers related to HIV/AIDS, one
unpublished one by MUM, and another that admits in its own abstract that the
sample size was too small to justify the claims and further research is needed
for validation. And in any case, was only related to vitality and not physical
problems.
I know people who have died of AIDS and I am pissed off that the TMO would
potentially try and get the hopes up of sick people with the usual dump of
impressive sounding claims that aren't backed up. So where is the data, did I
miss something? My best guess from reading that lot is that they are
extrapolating from their other unconnected "research", but look down the list
of references and it's all the same old stuff from the collected papers that no
one ever rated as quality research, sure some of the newer stuff might be
better but is it relevant?
Another of the claims for TM as an HIV/AIDS treatment great for anxiety and
depression, are there any papers on mental health TM and AIDS patients? No.
There's a few website testimonials but we all know they prove nothing. Besides,
I know so many long term TMers that get a bit of extra help for personal
problems that I've lost count, just as well they weren't included in the
research huh? And then there's the FF Mental Health Alliance, does Lynch know
about this blatant contradiction of the claims on his website?
I'm curious, can anyone else find a decent bit of research actually showing
that TM helps people with AIDS in the way they claim on Lynch's site?
