I think the whole point is that some TMers have turned
it *into* an argument, and do so again every time this
subject comes up here. As some have suggested, it kinda
looks as if they have done so because they are more
attached to the dogma they were taught being "right"
than they are to common sense.
It does take courage to deviate from the memorized scripts we all
tend to keep and re-run like little tape loops. In fact, I think
commercial forms of meditation with their repeated maxims tend to
reinforce this type of conditioned "in the box" thinking. It seems
important for progress to accept that our evolution might not run as
it was scripted.
In fact it might not be anything like what we "image-ined". In that
case it's best to just run over our own dogma, and then back up over
it just to be sure.
