Mark _ There are a lot of reasons that TM would not work for a person but   they're probably similar or the same reasons other forms of   meditation might not work. IMO the most common reason is that the   person receiving the instruction, for whatever reason--their mental   makeup, their worldview, their state of mind, etc.-- *just doesn't   get it*. A constitutional disconnect.  It just doesn't click with   where they're at. And of course this can happen with any form of   meditation. In a case such as this, it may be advantageous to wait   until a certain span of time has passed and then be re-instructed.   The perspective of time can do wonders. In my case, I simply reached a point where my mind would no longer tolerate doing TM, so I stopped and moved on. My life focus took a major turn for the better after Karunamayi's second visit to FF when I started chanting the Gayatri Mantra. Everything just fell into place after that. That's amazing. Just goes to show that mantras are constitutional and what an excellent compass our own hearts can be. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
