Raman Maharishi

A follower of that teacher actually asked me to drop by here, so I'm just checking in—let me know if you're around! 🙂

So, did he ever hit you up? 😁

So, I'm just sitting here waiting...
Anyway, I work on the technical side of things for one of those Raman Maharishi groups... specifically for Mahes Yogija

Regarding that note about the post being edited, I didn't actually change any of my thoughts, I just fixed a couple of typos.

Anyway, if anyone wants to weigh in, please do, so that people interested in these techniques can actually get some insight from the discussion.
Shall we?

🤣😂🤣

I already gave you my two cents back in the jokes thread... and calling this guy a "follower" isn't even remotely accurate...

Don't go claiming you have some sort of psychic intuition... you aren't a clairvoyant. You're just glued to this forum twenty-four hours a day, haunting every single thread like a restless ghost.🙂 🙂 🙂

You want to know why I’m so skeptical about TM? It’s because the price tag is absolutely ridiculous.

Especially when you’re essentially being charged a premium just to be handed a mantra for a few bucks.🙂 🙂

Especially when you feel like you're being charged an arm and a leg just to be taught a simple mantra. 🙂 🙂

Hold on, Karen Sanchez19, the mantra itself isn't what costs money! You're paying for the actual course fees and the training on how to properly use the technique.
😁 😁 😁

Sure, sure. But I’m still struggling to wrap my head around the logic here. Who exactly is supposed to be transcending whom? It just doesn't add up.

Karen Sanchez19 said:Yeah, sure, but I still don't get it—who is actually transcending whom?

That’s basically like asking, "Who is asking the question: Who am I?"

Existence itself is all there is

MUUUU

No, absolutely not. From this point forward, I’m strictly communicating in meows.

Mijauuuuuuu

Karen Sanchez19 said:Only the Self truly exists.

Following that logic, nothing else can transcend besides the Self.
MUUUUUUUUUU
😁 😁 😁

Being isn't about reaching some higher plane; it simply is. It exists.

Mijauuuuuuuuu

A bear that meows, and viruses that silence him 😂🙂

Karen Sanchez19 said:Being simply is; it doesn't "transcend," it just exists.

To transcend something means it wasn't truly being, so now it is.

So it isn't about reaching Trancendira, it’s about realizing it's already there... how can you possibly transcend nothingness?

The Self simply is.

Karen Sanchez19 said:You want to know why I can't stand TM? Because it’s an absolute rip-off!

Especially when you're essentially paying a small fortune just to have someone recite a mantra to you. 🙂 🙂

Back in my day, I actually got a decent deal.
I paid less than what people drop on this stuff today—maybe ten bucks tops.

*I'm done with mantras for good. 😁

Could you elaborate a bit on what the actual point of chanting is?

Assuming there even is a point to begin with.

Karen Sanchez19 said:So it’s not actually transcending, it just *is*... how can you transcend nothingness?

Are you basically saying the transcendental doesn't even exist?😲
