You find very few TBs on this forum, actually. What most TM people *are* able to comprehend is TM and the TM-Sidhis. Whatever his knowledge of traditional yoga, Vaj has shown himself time and time again to have very serious comprehension difficulties with regard to what TM and the TM-Sidhis involve, the authoritative tone of his pronouncements thereon notwithstanding. It's not possible to draw meaningful comparisons between two things if you don't understand one of them. > The truth of the matter is we were simply not > taught any of the detailed aspects of yoga in TM > or in the TMSP. The relevant questions are whether these detailed aspects are (a) useful and (b) correct interpretations. TM and the TM-Sidhis are what they are. You can't dismiss them simply on the basis of the fact that they often don't adhere to the traditional formulations. That's a little like dismissing Martin Luther solely on the grounds that the Catholic Church's teaching was different from his.
