What I find interesting is that you have these two people -- Curtis

has a totally positive personality. Isn't it fascinating how TM can
be done by people of all sorts of political bents, world views, and
attitudes and yet the light of consciousness shines through in one
and hardly manifests in the other. Yet both meditate!
I guess consciousness works in strange and wonderful ways and...uh,
what's that you say? WHAT? You're saying Curtis does NOT practise
TM? What? You say he hasn't done TM regularly in more than 15
years? Really?
Gosh.
Well, in the immortal words of Emily Litella: never mind.
Its even more facsinating that an observer who has been meditating a
similar amount of time could see all things in such black and white
absolutist terms. A view that Judy is all negative and Curtis is all
positive is quite a belly-laugh.
Actually he didn't say which he thought was the positive and which the
negative one (I'm assuming this was deliberate). Your view of which
had to be which is pretty telling.
