There is no "TM" - that's just an acronym made up by the Maharishi.
Meditation simply means "to think things over." Based on the definition of meditation, almost everyone on the entire planet thinks! Nobody could go a single day without once or twice pausing to take stock of their own mental contents. And, we are all transcending, all the time. There's no TM - there is only silence, or not, or a mind that thinks. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <noozguru@...> wrote : To be clear this is NOT a group about TM but about people who have practiced TM and have that in common.

We have nothing better to do than sit in front of our computers and talk ! about yoga postures, politics and each other. We have been doing this for years. Unfortunately, every single one of us (except one and she is the most normal-sounding person here) has practiced TM at some time or another in our lives for years, even decades. What do you think of that? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <archonangel@...> mailto:archonangel@... wrote : I take it from the content here that no one here practices TM Or if they do, get any benefits from TM, or display any of the intelligence or behavior that is supposed to result from TM. Maybe the group could be renamed to something more in line with the subject matter here. It seems to be a pit of vipers and the insane.
