from High school. Was in one of my brother's grades then. A bunch of us were

I don't know about it being a myth but because alcohol thins the blood
it might actually improve blood flow to the brain. Probably another
reason why some red wine daily is not a bad idea unless you're too kapha
for it.
I'm not much into drinking probably because it was not a mystery to me
A great many courses were started and the usual huge claims were made and
universities were supposed to be studying them but the results never published.
I did a few myself actually but I knew enough to know that leaving results that
don't suit your purpose on the shelf is very bad science.

Good. It's just the concept I'm objecting to. I mean, who could possibly
equate being completely dependent on the TMO and no other source for all
of one's spiritual teachings and techniques --
turq, I once heard Maharishi say that fear is the last negative emotion to go.
From my own experience, I'd say this is right on target. Different people have
different ways of dealing with fear, especially the fear of death. Go figure (-:

To be truly self-sufficient as a whiskey drinker TM-style, you'd
have to be drinking only Macallan
Xeno, only if the drinking of Jack Daniels allowed you to transcend this very
activity. TM transcends its own activity and thus allows one to become self
sufficient.

When you pass out drunk, you transcend self, but not consciously. Drug effects
can give great, or not so great experience, but do not as a rule result in any
sense of advancement. As for the meditation transcendence, that is a metaphor,
