Afraid to ask. It's easier to characterize us as completely negative. That's part and parcel of the TM apologists' agenda. > Also, it's probably worth mentioning that this is not a > TM exclusive list, so there are others here and they may > comment on things posted here. > > I've always thought the best thing about the TMO was not > so much TM or any program, but the interesting and > wonderful people it attracted. Bingo. Also the best part about this list, when it's "on." The people here are *far* more inter- esting than the TM soap opera they tend to get hung up on. For me, I guess it was a combination of the people who I got to work with in the TM movement and the sense of *enthusiasm* and *happiness* that we all brought to our teaching activities for a short time. That was magic. I still feel grateful to Maharishi for giving me the chance to teach during that era, when it was still possible to believe in what we were teaching. I liked some of the experiences I had pre-siddhis. A few of them were downright smokin' *at the time*, although in retrospect they were pretty ordinary. I even liked the siddhis for a couple of days, but then I got bored with them, and moved on. Some of the women were pretty smokin', too, before they got into that wearing saris and trying to act like they didn't have pussies thang. :-)
