Actually it isn't a valid aphorism; it's malformed when you examine it closely. Where TM is concerned, the last part would have to read, "when you spend more time defending your belief that practicing TM is good for you than you do practicing TM." But then the first part doesn't work, because believing that practicing TM is good for you isn't a cultist view. Back to the drawing board, Barry. Just putting words together in a way that sounds profound if you don't look at them too closely does not a valid aphorism make. One of your worst intellectual failings is your penchant for reifying your words. You tend to assume that if your words sound elegant, that means they're describing something real. But more often than not, they don't. ------------------------ Yahoo!
