My sister was Maharishi's chef when he was in Majorca. She is a teacher of TM. Nevertheless your statement about thinking about not thinking which in fact, was thinking, certainly resonated with me because that's exactly how I felt. I never transcended, not even once. I still remember my mantra--I guess one never really forgets that. But Jai Guru Dev and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi are all dead and they are unlikely to get mad at me for what was, at least for me, a crock. I can't say that for all, because my sister, prior to her experience with TM, had been a junkie. She never again touched drugs. So what works for one doesn't necessarily work for all and what doesn't work for one doesn't mecessarily not work for all. Still your experience with TM is very similar to my own. Prior to initiation we had to go to two seminars. Then my father paid to have my whole family--mother, father, 3 girls and 2 boys initiated into TM. So all of us ould have sat around the living room burning incense and chanting 'om' til the cows came home (so we could worship them)and still TM would not have done anything for me.Mary's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08213055297596939565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861874.post-1156129351193578272006-08-20T20:02:00.000-07:002006-08-20T20:02:00.000-07:00R.

I find that it is much more efficient because it takes time to think to oneself "soap," "I need to wash my hair" or "white tiles covered in spray" rather than simply being there in the moment and reacting. If only I could do that all day...R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03774469060066226829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861874.post-1156008817354197182006-08-19T10:33:00.000-07:002006-08-19T10:33:00.000-07:00Mickey, My only regret is that I can't keep all of...Mickey, My only regret is that I can't keep all of the rides running at the same time time. <BR/><BR/>JanePoe, Thinking tends to give me that deer in the headlights look.<BR/><BR/>THE Michael, thank you my friend.

First thing I did was call up Dizgraceland. Thank Bob. If anybody could make me laugh, it's you! <BR/><BR/>Aside from the hilarity of tonight's post, I want to thank you for being here, wether you actually wanted to or not, to lift my spirits and let me know that as far as deep, silly, uplifting, Monty Python style intellect is concerned, I am not alone in this universe. I hope they never nail down string theory, for that will ruin it for us having explained for us the likes of a wonderment called TIM.Alex Pendragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15877845166621794334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861874.post-1155951990140714252006-08-18T18:46:00.000-07:002006-08-18T18:46:00.000-07:00I'm wondering the same as Mickey.

I briefly tried meditation. I have the same difficulty in not thinking. I developed my own method of thought obliteration. Eventually though, I always end up falling asleep. I suppose I should do one of those painful flexibility poses at the same time in order to keep myself awake.
