Ah, thanks for the clarification. I had previously misunderstood your position -- thinking that you thought TM was more valuable than a daily latte. But now I get you -- you see them as equivalent. Now the theme of your posts are clearer. I guess that means a dinner out once a week is more valuable than TM -- and another's enlightenment. A fine meal of Peking Duck and fine wines? Or is a stop at Chilli's also more valuable than TM? And since you could earn a lot if you chose to work instead of posting to FFL, I guess your (dis)missives are more valuable (to the world) than another enlightened person. Glad we got your values heirarchy of lattes, TM, enlightenment, a dinner in town, and your missives and all straight now. Thanks for your help. Maybe Off world could arrange for the folks who cant afford $2500 up front to pay him 3 bucks a day for 2 years and he can finance them. Or maybe he couldtalk the TMO into a financing plan. Bottom line - there are plenty of meditation techniques out there that are as effective as TM and can be learned for free or cheaply. That is why so many people do other techniques after having learned TM. The universe gives feedback. People will pay for quality. So i ask you this question-How many people have gotten enlightened from TM, or Siddha Yoga, or SRF,or IAM, or hatha yoga, or Buddhist meditation? etc And you know hundreds or thousands of TM people. anybody enlightened? .Certainly not 10%, not 5%, not 1%. how many 5-8 year plans do you have to be on to get it?.People dont get enlightened doing TM or siddha yoga or ammachis meditation. and what about the purusha guys? I rest my case. Have you ever seen anyone flying around the dome? And it has been going on for 30 years. Like ---- HELLOOOOOO. oh by the way---i sign my name. steve klayman __________________________________________ Yahoo! DSL Something to write home about.
