When I first introduced this topic, Bob Brigante said, "Piss off, you idiot" and I took that as humor. Edg has a problem with Nabby's "You need a checking." The obvious implication is "you're meditating incorrectly and if you were really doing TM properly then you would be thinking clearly, like me."
The obvious is rather clouded for you I may say. First of all the fellow says he is not meditating so his meditation can't be incorrect. In recommending a checking I suggest that the happiness and balance so desperately sought in this soul could be only a few minutes of correct meditation away. I must stress the word "could" as checking will not help those who do not want to help themselves. Any success in this life comes from attunement, not from thinking. > The "you need" phrasing (in "you need a checking") is a clue that someone is stepping on someone else's toes. If not insulting them, at least certainly telling them what they should do. When a person starts telling others what to do, I think it always borders on an insult. Ofcourse, a hug is much more effective. Sorry, THAT was an insult.
