I have to say that this has always been my subjective assessment of anyone who has spent a long time "round- ing" in a TM context as well. Self discovery and enlight- enment are, as I understand them, about becoming *more* capable, *more* able to handle the world. Some of the guys I knew who spent a long time on such reclusive courses can barely find their mouths with a spoon. > > They do not have a way of talking about it within MD for fear > > of ejection/rejection so some MD can be in pretty bad shape, > > but are told the only way to get enlightened is to be on the > > program in MD.

This sadly goes along with what I've heard from an old TM friend who has friends who are currently on MD. Without naming names, she tells of these women leaving the course and coming to spend time with her and her husband periodically so that they can break down and cry for three weeks solid, in private, before going back to the course and having to pretend to be blissful all the time. It strikes me that such "breakdown breaks" are no substitute for the professional care these women need, or for an environment in which they don't have to hide what they really feel, and thus one in which such problems wouldn't come up as much.
