You might believe this, after a number of years outside the TM movement spent examining other traditions and other ways of seeing things, but I think it's important every so often to remember that many TMers do NOT have that kind of perspective. And, in fact, they have been taught to look upon deviating from their scripts by even one *word* as being a challenge to the "purity of the teaching," and thus as verboten and potentially punishable by excommunication. The fear of messing with that runs really deep.
Oh I definitely believe it. It's very common.
