I went to get my meditation checked and as I sat waiting for the checker to arrive, there was a steady inflow of meditators/sidhas/initiators coming in for an advanced lecture and I was amazed to see people I had seen on courses over probably a twenty+ year period walking in, very aged, some stooped over. This in itsself was not so shocking as was the complete and total absence of young people. It reminded me of going to a Madame Blavatsky meeting. Yahoo!

Please share a more direct quote then if you can. So you mean I could provide you with a list of quotes by various spiritual teachers and you'd be able to pretty much nail their levels of consciousness? No, of course not. It had to do with something specific about your quote. This reminds me of an interview I read with one of my folk music heros, Tom Rush.

Tell your friend to forget about SV and enjoy the place and somehow purge their mind of this superstitious rattletrap. I wish I'd never heard of this sh*t.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Fundamentalist or reconstructionist med
Nearly all of my friends everywhere are TMers, whether lapsed, moved on to other orgs or like myself moved on to none at all and just living life. I do think my TM mantra every day, sometimes just lying down on my way to dreamland at night, sometimes I use other mantras, sometimes I just enjoy relaxing with easy mind. My life is one big spiritual event as I see it. With nearly all of my friends, because we all spent so many of our formative adult years enmeshed in the TM belief system it still always comes up in conversation. And though we've rehashed most of it we still sometimes do. It's a form of entertainment and sometimes insites still come that are useful. FFLife is a way to see what's what. It's flavor has changed and since LB and DOug Hamilton, Phil Goldberg and a few others have stopped posting it's a lot less interesting, yet I find there is still something to be gained from checking in.

Like most of the day (mid to late 60s) I looked elsewhere and found my way to TM in '69 after some experimentation with drugs (loved 'em) and other meditation techniques. Finally, after I found my way out of the TM movement in 1990, a dear friend, said to me one day You need to find yourself a good therapist. It takes a bit of work but eventually I found one, stayed with him for two years and it made a huge difference to me. About 10 years later I had another two years of therapy/counseling with a great Jungian oriented therapist and that, too, was extremely helpful. Not a day goes by that I don't benefit from all those talks and understandings. Don't knock it, it can be extremely useful. And remember all this is Shirley Brahman! Shirley So, if all this is extremely helpful and you haven't been involved in TM in 15 years, what are you doing here? Participation here is a waste of time for everyone, of course, but certainly for someone who outgrew TM 15 years ago and has had great experiences since...
