I don't own this stock anymore, Vaj. I rode it to a big advance in
the 70's and early 80's, but I've since sold it. Call me old
fashioned, but I like the idea of fair and balanced. Let's hear the
story directly from the accusers. Remember that democratic principle
I'm probably influenced by my own direct experience, so even the
overwhelming anecdotal evidence seems rather obvious to me. But I
also realize even the most blatantly evident stories won't seem so to
the addicted.
Vaj:
I would of thought the Shankaracharya of the South dissing Mahesh as
a phony would've dislodged most TB fingernails, but that's just the
way it goes. Denial is a very strong mechanism (it's downside is
you have to "partition" your awareness to keep the fiction goin'--so
much for "wholeness").
lurk:
I just kinda follow my own benefits Vaj, whether it's TM or
something else. Pretty much as simple as that. Don't know about
this "partitioning stuff", but if you say so, it must be right.
Ok. We all have that. Even it it's only conditioned evidence of
benefit (not saying you are one or the other BTW).
Vaj:
Can't say Any Sociology 101 student knows that the "the world is
going to end tomorrow" types all just pretend nothing ever
happened 'the day after' nothing really happened, when everybody's
still just like they were.
TB's are no different.

Tis true
Let's all gather round and do the 12-step. ;-)
