Vaj, your neverending campaign against TM will not succeed. Give up. In any way of writing, you come across as a desperate fool. You seem to be in a lowlife existence (to much pot perhaps ?) not deserving much attention. Nevertheless, lets hear what Benjamim Creme, the foremost exponent of Thesosophy today has to say about your "concerns". Question.(1) Can Transcendental Meditation bring psycho-physiological problems at all, as reported by a number of meditators, or only when it is not properly practised? (2) Are these problems not linked to the practice? (3) What would be your advice to such people? (4) Is Transcendental Meditation a beneficial technique? (5) Would you recommend a shift from Transcendental Meditation to Transmission Meditation altogether, or can both be practised at different times? Answer by Benjamin Creme. (1) Not if properly practised. (2) The problems are not linked to the practice. (3) Seek counsel of a practitioner. (4) Yes. (5) Transmission Meditation is more a service and so more beneficial to the world but both can be practised at different times. For more information, please see: http://www.shareintl.org
