Contrariwise, that Alex ran into a major bout of unstressing he

couldn't handle.



If it makes you feel better to believe that, be my guest.



That's exactly the kind of response these people

can never 'get,' and likely will never 'get' for

the duration of their present incarnation. They're

locked into preserving their self-image of small

self, and as far as I can tell, will be locked into

it until the small self dissolves into the Bardo,

and for several incarnations past that point. They

just don't 'get' not having an ego to defend.



So, unstressing for you isn't a catch-all phrase?



I'm not sure what your point is.


'Unstressing,' to me (if you're seriously asking) is

a *made up* phrase that doesn't have much to do with

reality. As we've discussed before, I do not believe

that 'stress' has anything whatsoever to do with

preventing the realization of enlightenment. I think

that Maharishi coopted the word 'stress' from Hans

Selye and coined the phrase 'unstressing' because it 

gave him an easy way to ignore some of the less-than-

pleasant side effects of TM.


I'm not suggesting that you have to believe this,

but it's what I believe. 


Always seemed like a blanket term for 'side effects from unbalanced meditation practice' and of course that could come from many sources. It would be interesting to know if other groups who practice mental mantra meditation experience so many negative side effects (e.g. Himalayan Institute, Sahaja Samadhi/SSRS, etc.).
