While I applaud both your insights and your attempt
Jim, I think that at this point trying to talk ration-
ally to Off about 'balance' is sorta like trying to 
sit down with Pat Robertson over coffee and convince
him that 'sin' is all in the mind. :-)

I didn't mean to set him off so badly; I was just 
struck by the fact that he was doing what many TMers
seem to do -- repeat the things they've been told by
TM teachers, over and over (and in Off's case, using
cut and paste to repeat them *verbatim*) -- with the
idea that if they just say them enough times, people
will believe them. It's just the strangest thing; 
it's almost as if they were trying to pass some test,
and if they repeat the things they've been told
exactly enough, they'll get an 'A' in the course. :-)
