How can you tell the difference between someone who is totally brainwashed and programmed and somebody who is so excited by something they've just learned they can't stop talking about it? > I've been reading a lot of internet sites of former TM teachers, > governors etc and a couple sites including one posting the results > of a German Youth Ministry Study on the affects of long term hard > core TM brand meditation and it doesn't sound like the "simple > relaxation technique this Maharishi guy sells. Just for the record, the "German study" is a complete crock. If you're interested to know more, do a search on Google Groups in the group alt.meditation.transcendental for "German study." For that matter, practically everything you'll find on Trancenet is dubious in one way or the other. Not a reliable source of information on TM. > I'm reminded of the drug pusher who offers a kid his > first "Toke',,,Hey its good for you, it'll chill you out,,,and then > slowly he sucks you into harder core drugs like the "yogic flying" > er levitating,,,er hopping. Most people just learn TM and go away and practice it on their own without going any further or becoming involved in the TM organization. It's also entirely possible to learn the TM-Sidhis and/or become involved with the TM organization without getting into a cultlike relationship with it. Some people seem to need to establish a cultlike relationship with the TMO, and unfortunately the TMO doesn't do anything to discourage that. > When I first started dating me Freudian slip?? she was absolutely convinced > she "levitated" meanwhile I'm down stairs listening to the floor > upstairs squeak like hell as she bounced up and down on the bed. > One things for certain,,,she's got great thigh muscle development. I kind of doubt she believed she was actually levitating beyond the "first stage" (hopping) of Yogic Flying.
