Mm-hm. So now show, please, how this quotation demonstrates that TM involves "focus" (as we can see was the original issue now that I've restored the context Vaj snipped). > More focus of mind might just make you happier Judy. Try it! Ya know, Vaj, of all the folks on this forum, and those on alt.m.t as well, you are the *least* focused. It's not clear whether you're *unable* to sustain a coherent train of thought in a discussion, or whether your lack of focus is a deliberate tactic to obscure the fact that you don't know what you're talking about most of the time. Your constant context-snipping, I suspect, is the giveaway that it's deliberate. And the fact that you won't be able to make a coherent connection between the quote and your claim is the giveaway that, as I said, you're blowing it out your nether regions. ------------------------ Yahoo!
