Notice Barry does not compare *Curtis's* state
of consciousness, compassion, courage, and just
plain humanity--not to mention his willingness
to put his own beliefs and integrity on the line--
to the Israeli TMers. IOKIFAAT.
And of course there's no consideration of the
context. Curtis questioned the value of the
"experience of transcending," suggesting that
it's been vastly overrated, when, as a former
TM teacher, he ought to know--as Lawson pointed
out--that no experience during TM is of any
greater value than any other, including random
thoughts.
That *does* suggest that Curtis was not
meditating properly, if he thought there was
supposed to be great value in the experience
of transcending.
This error, uncorrected, might well have
served to discourage folks who would otherwise
have been in a position at some point to
demonstrate their courage and humanity by
joining a group practicing the TM-Sidhis in a
war zone.
