There was a posting recently about 'the gap'. Essentially, TMers 

are

being directed at finding this gap and prolonging the experience 

of

not experiencing thought. But has anyone else noticed that the

repetition of a mantra can sometimes be counterproductive in that 

in

filling the gap, it appears sometimes to delay the experience of 

no

thought? I have noticed that a swifter route to the gap is 

dropping

thought altogether, just willing it.


Actually, part of the point of the post was that although TM uses 

the  

idea of the gap/sandhi to explain TM; in the full idea of what 

that  

entails, TM only goes as far as 1 or 1.5 out of 7. There are a 

whole  

slew of other methods beyond that to reach the big "E".


As a person offlist said to me that's what you call 'we were given  

one wheel, and lead to believe we had the whole bike.'


Ouch.



Or perhaps you only recognize one wheel even though all of them are 

inherent in TM.


Clearly this is not the case. It's amazing what clever marketing can do.
