And yea the dogma became more important than the easiness, and yea the faithful did go forth to do battle against those who claimed that effort or intent was valuable, and render them lower than the lint in a snake's navel for messing with the holy dogma. :-) :-) Just jivin', but it's true. Just look on this forum. You've got one TB trying to deny Maharishi's own words when he said there was a certain level of *obvious* subtle effort associated with TM. And in another recent instance you had another poster claiming that people were mistaken about a TM advanced technique they received because it involved putting their attention in a certain physical place in the body. I was never sure why this person was so vehement, but all I can assume is that he believed that if the technique involved effort or intent of *any* kind (placing one's attention on a certain area), he saw it as some kind of "betrayal" of the Holy Dogma Of Effortlessness. Therefore, in his mind, the people describing this technique *must* have been either mistaken about it or lying. THAT is the extent to which TBs will go in their addiction to the Holy Dogma Of Effort- lessness. They've been told that TM is effortless so many times, and told that they are WRONG if they've ever felt ANY effort associated with it so many times that they've come to believe that even *conceiving* of effort associated with TM or discussing it is WRONG. They react as if someone has committed a crime or a sin of some kind when the subject comes up. Weird, if you ask me. It's like watching holy roller Christians when someone suggests that Christ might have been human.
