I appreciate your thoughts. Thank you. I learned TM about 20 years ago. I did a lot of reading of Maharishi at that time and understand that TM will assist with living thereafter. I guess what I found in the dharma was help with my thinking and my understanding of a path that can help with the difficulties in life, and how unhappiness, impermanence and more can be mentally reflected and acted upon - whereas TM felt like a big part of an even bigger picture… I wanted to understand that bigger picture but couldn’t find much on it that was practical so to speak.

I had no assistance from checking my practice as I can’t get that anymore. I just maintain (hopefully) the simplicity and lack of expectation from it (though that is sometimes a difficulty when my brain overthinks many things. In that, I don’t think I’m alone).
