Not when it comes to TM. TM-exers do what they can to slant the terminology in their favor. Eg: Broadcast one study on various meditations as if it is all about TM, and as if it defeats hundreds of other published studies. I went in and re-worded that sentance a little so it is more accurate to the reader, but I am sure the TM-exers will change it back to suit their agenda, as if the study was all about TM, and is the greatest proof in the world. I will not bother to respond to it. It was just a fun interesting thing to do once, but for them it is a soul- destroying obsession. I pity them. OffWorld ------------------------ Yahoo!
