Unstressing had nothing to with it. I know you can't help but try to pigeonhole my experience into your cultishly held TM worldview, so if it makes you feel better to think that way about my experience, so be it. But, for me, it was simply a matter of having reached the point where I had to move on. > > > > > In my case, I simply reached a point where my mind would no longer > > > > > tolerate doing TM, so I stopped and moved on. > > Why couldn't you tolerate effortlessness any longer?

I'd sit down to meditate and my mind wouldn't settle down. It was outwardly focused and could no longer tolerate the escapism of transcending. I'd always looked at TM as a means of fixing what I felt was broken, and as such, TM was for me just another piece of the toxic ego dynamic of grasping and aversion, preventing me from being present in the here and now. However, TM never fixed what I wanted fixed, and I finally came to the end of the TM road. The right path for me ended up being one where instead of tiptoeing around sleeping elephants, one goes right up to the sleeping elephants and slaps them on the ass. ------------------------ Yahoo!
