I have been practising transcendental meditation twice a day since October 1970. Oh a few times when I have been travelling or sick, I guess I went to sleep, did anyone else go there? Oh, and for the sake of research I have experimented with variants of the technique for some days at a time. But there are some who wish to believe that regularity in meditation equals sawing away critical functions of the brain. Strangely that is what opponents of TM believe. It is ironic to get so much flack from those who are actually practising TM. I question the motives of those who misrepresent me on this forum and on other TM-related forums, it is their agenda that ought to be scrutinised, perhaps we will discover who and who is not in the light?
