Right, because it wouldn't make any difference, as far as the therapist was concerned, whether the patient wanted to learn TM or, say, Rajneesh's "active meditation" techniques, in which you were taught to drag all your repressions out in the open. I mean, no therapist would give their permission for a patient to learn TM who wouldn't also happily give it for Rajneesh's techniques, right? <snicker> ------------------------ Yahoo!
