Agreed. Not bad *at all*. *Especially* as compared to forms of concentration. But I get the feeling that some people aren't willing to live with TM's "effortlessness" being an approximation of effort- lessness. They want the dogma they've clung to for so many decades to be TRUE, DAMNIT, even if that involves pushing square pegs into round holes and ignoring direct quotes from Maharishi. It would be funny if the vibe surrounding it weren't so desperate. ------------------------ Yahoo!
