Nobody, of course, is claiming here to "know what MMY really teaches." That isn't what's involved. > Hint: they're just parroting dogma, when > Maharishi himself occasionally admits that > the dogma is bullshit. No, actually in this case we're talking about our personal experience. However, when "what MMY really teaches" is being discussed--i.e., the intellectual teaching--Barry almost invariably gets it wrong. And I mean *patently* wrong, factually wrong. So having been a TM teacher or having been the same room with MMY for years is no guarantee of accuracy. Barry's not the only one, of course; we've had loads of 'em on alt.m.t. But he's a particularly egregious example. ------------------------ Yahoo!
