Compare your situation to that of George W Bush, who was an alcoholic loser until he was saved by Jesus. That experience truly seemed to help get him off alcohol and improve his life. I've known a few tm teachers who also struggled with alcohol problems until they had a similar being saved experience with Jesus. So that experience can save a person's life if they're really struggling, but does that mean that the whole evangelical belief system is gospel truth not to be questioned?

That's why I question the whole TM belief system.

What evangelical belief system? That's the beauty of TM- all you really have to do with TM is use the mantra as instructed. That's it. There is a lot of information and speculation surrounding the technique, like where it comes from and what it means, but that doesn't mean an evangelical belief system needs to be adopted, or even questioned, in order to practice TM correctly. Any belief system, thought to be valid or not, can just be ignored during the successful practice of TM. Other than the mechanical practice, everything else is optional.

That’s why I question the whole TM belief system. George Bush was saved by Jesus. Wow!!! I think he needs to be saved again as he continues to murder people with his I know it all attitude. Maybe some TM might calm him down or a pretty girl with garter belts and fishnet stockings. Regardless if it is Jesus or the pretty girl, it may be the only thing that gets his mind off of Iraq.
