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

He's just making this stuff up as he goes along. 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.

We're up to 5 and counting. 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. > Read all 5 versions, plus essays and reader comments at http://tmfree.blogspot.com. 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.

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