Wonderful, thank you WIlly 2. Proof positive of what I've said: TM is such a superficial state, it's not possible for siddhis to arise as they should, spontaneously (sahaja). No wonder their nervous systems are so screwed up. I bet you stopped your program, didn't you Bill? As we've already

I think there are too many people he doesn't like, here and elsewhere, to be covered in a simple autobiography - perhaps add a phonebook-like appendix? From what I have observed, Barry dislikes: 1. Older women. 2. people who wait for walk signs (vs. jaywalking). 3. People in Amsterdam cafes.
