Falling Down the TM Rabbit Hole, How TM Really Works, a Critical Opinion

And you are still falling!

The Cheshire Cat; things are getting crazier and crazier

The next point during your fall down the TM rabbit hole may be "Teacher Training", where you learn the highly ritualized and mostly rote task of planting suggestions and inducing trance in TM students. You also learn how to explain TM dogma of "unstressing" in order to talk people out of quitting the practice even when it is hurting them (but you won't see it that way, of course).

Or the next stage may be joining up as underpaid staff at Maharishi University of Management (MUM) in Fairfield, Iowa. Or you may move to Fairfield and run a business there while practicing the sidhis in one of the two Golden Domes every day.

Actually, different people hit different stages in different orders while falling down the TM rabbit hole. Maybe they become poorly paid workers at MUM first and get well dissociated on the equivalent of frequent "residence courses", while they eventually save up enough work credits to learn the sidhis or go to Teacher Training. Or they may be able to become students at MUM, earning a degree while staying on what otherwise is much like a 4-year residence course.

It doesn't really matter in what order these things happen to them.

I plan to describe some of these other phases of the descent in more detail at a later date.

But is there a bottom to the TM rabbit hole?
