But he wouldn't be *practicing* TM, Jim. As anyone who has read his writings knows, he would be practicing a *different* technique of meditation. Therefore, if Geoffrey Clements was stating the official TM position accurately (and he probably was because I've heard the same thing from Maharishi), then you have to assume that the official TM position would be that it would be dangerous to meditate in the same room with Guru Dev. You can't have it both ways. Either techniques other than TM have cooties and "disturb our brain wave functioning," or they don't. And *if* they do, which does seem to be the TM dogma, then the techniques Guru Dev and his fellow monks practiced would fall into that category, and be "dangerous" to be around.
