Reply #187: Nope. Please don't tell me what I assume

I don't know whether you share Kucinich's beliefs, but I'll take you at your word that you do not. It doesn't really matter, to be honest.

And spare me the "I know that I do not know" routine. Anyone who's sat through Philosophy 001 knows that one, and frankly anyone (not you, necessarily, but anyone in general) who alleges to have achieved some measure of spiritual/supernatural/religious epiphany is throwing the "I do not know" claim out the window. There is also a measure of intellectual dishonesty in a person who, thinking to have achieved that epiphany, does not subject it to rigorous objective scrutiny.

When you, yourself, engage in transcendental meditation, what exactly are you transcending?
