TM works. It's just too powerful for most people.

Just as a question, John, what makes you think that
*all* gurus -- even the best of them -- weren't making 
much of what they taught up as they went along? 

Those raised within a strict tradition may have parroted
the teachings of the tradition, but history is full of
stories like Ramana Maharshi's, in which he had no
tradition to fall back on, or Buddha's, in which he
was expressly rejecting the tradition he came from. 
Where then did their teachings come from?

Having made it up doesn't make a teaching useless, let 
alone criminal. *Not working* is what makes one useless.

Um, I'm not sure I'd call it "lively."  Apparently
different people remember being told slightly
different things, and they're posting what they
recall.  (I count only four versions so far.)

Not surprisingly, MMY is compared by Knapp to the Nazi
scientists who performed hideous "experiments" on
human beings.

Of 19 posts total on the blog so far, there are five
reader comments.  Two are spam; and of the remaining
three, two are by the blog's editors, not by readers.

Gurjief used to claim he made up all HIS stuff. 

Does anyone get the feeling that the TM-EX types are at least as odd as the TM 
types?
