You snipped it to make it appear I had misquoted you. If it had been an honest mistake, you wouldn't have tried to put over a flimsy excuse. > You ascribe so many motives to my postings - come on what > is YOUR agenda?

You were none of the three in the post I was commenting on, nor the one I'm responding to now. > AND have you EVER actually practised this meditation thing > you claim to have done. ??? > Are you just one of those anti-TMers who > wants to make the Maharishi and the TM method appear so ineffective? Notice that Paul hasn't addressed any of my points. He rarely addresses *anybody's* points if they're at all challenging. He attempts to change the subject, or he responds with a non sequitur. > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "authfriend" <jstein@> wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Paul Mason" > > <premanandpaul@> wrote: > > > > > > 'As Paul notes, MMY was speaking (to devout Hindus)..<Snip>.' > > > > > > I noted no such thing!
