While it is understandable given his alien heritage :-), it's becoming obvious to me that the "source" for the things that off_world_beings has been posting here lately is the party line that has been presented to him over the years by TM teachers. This party line seems to consist of dogma that the teachers were told to memorize and then repeat to TMers, combined with a few stories that they made up or picked up along the way to bolster their own TBism. It's a closed loop. Off seeks to support the TM party line by simply repeating the TM party line (often using cut and paste to say the same thing in four or five posts in a row), while declaring that it's the "truth" and that any other way of seeing things is "false" and/or "naive." A less compassionate person than I might call it cult- think. I just call it not thinking at all. :-) ------------------------ Yahoo!
