re: #6 Bob Dillon

I’m familiar with TM. Ultimately, the inner dialogue that one strives for within this discipline is completely different than the inner dialogue one strives for within Judaism. Unfortunately, this discussion is not common at the synagogue or Beis Midrash.

However, if I were trying to get the incessant noise of New York out of my head, I might stay a few weeks at the Holiday TM. Personally, I went farther east than India. Like the rabbi says, it’s a journey. However, the destination is not to say the Shemoneh Esreh with the techniques of TM.
