11:11 Angels Message Board

I was myself doing quite well with the meditation (which is now named Transcendental Meditation), but I was telling those persons whom I initiated that the meditation would lead to the goal of life, Liberation, Self-Realization, Union with the Divine. The two weeks at the hotel would be free from responsibilities for me, since Maharishi and Charley Lutes could run the convention. I decided to stay in my room, do nothing but continuous meditation from 3 a.m. until I fell asleep at night, and see if I would be able to know directly that which I was telling the people whom I was initiating into the meditation. After several days of the 3 a.m.-to-bedtime meditation, waves of bliss started to sweep through me. They were so intense, I could hardly bear them. But, at the same time a devastating realization struck me —"This sensation was being experienced in the nervous system of the body — it was not the Divine Bliss which the ancients have described as 'that peace which passeth all understanding.'" At this moment, I realized that in my work, I was a perfect example of "a blind leader," and especially so when I initiated people into meditation.
