I read a lot of the TM-free site last year and I can understand why some people feel the way they do in regard to MMY and his latter years’ emphasis upon it being essential to have such things as the correct architecture for “a man to be right” when originally all that was needed was the do the meditation practice regularly. To me, it perhaps demonstrates that just because a human has learnt meditation and has practiced it in close communion with masters, it does not mean that he is free from bias and human error. But I also think that the TM-free people have missed the beauty of the finer results of the practice of meditation, and in so doing they have become somewhat obsessed because this finer reality of regular meditation is missing – and I’m not confining this to TM or TM-Siddhis. When I apply my attention to “that which does not change”, I begin to see that it is actually “that which does not change” which is really doing the observing while my attention “disappears” or is seen as temporary. “That which does not change” is like a fine invisible “mist” that permeates everything, me, others and all, but it is the “mist” which sees and no longer whoever I thought was observing. i.e. “me”. It is very nice to be “mist”. I know some people say that Being has no attributes but I have to say that it has the attribute of being all-satisfaction. I believe this is just a human experience and the "mist" is the basis for something far more tangible and real yet to be revealed.
So this is why I come to the conclusion that the TM-free people haven’t found the satisfaction of “I Am Being-ness” or else they could not be brought to make some of the statements I have read. I suppose this sounds crazy-talk to them.
