Wow. By that definition, *I* am a TB! The mind boggles. Personally, I'd define a TB as someone who believes that TM/TMSP are the best, fastest, or probably even the *only* way to get to enlightenment, and that MMY is the best, highest, or probably even *only* Guru who is worth His salt. IOW, anyone who thinks "my way is better than your way" is a TB. Otherwise, you're leaving out whole turns of the spiral, sandwiching a multicolored reality into black and white. Your definition above does not even appear to allow for a genuine Eclectic, who would hold the TM path is OK, but many other paths (or non-paths) are equally OK. You seem to be saying we have to be "fer" MMY or "agin" him, period. Bush-consciousness. Does your world really consist only of TB's for MMY and TBs against him? *L*L*L*
