In the first place, for me this is not an "assumption," it's my personal experience (as I've pointed out many times). In the second place, I've yet to see any statements from MMY quoted here in which he says TM is not effortless. If you believe otherwise, please cite one of them. > Or that TM is "100% life-supporting," with *no* > negative side effects possible, when the experience > of most people who have attended long courses should > indicate that this is not true (much less what psycho- > analysts say about the appropriateness of meditation > for folks who suffer from some mental problems). Please cite *one single statement* I've made here to this effect. Just one. Barry, you're just making things up, as usual.
