I'm not a religious guy. I have no time for fake, fantasy rules from people in the sky. I'm not going to sign up for anything mystic or any kind of magical thinking nonsense. So that's why I signed up for TM. You're not praying to anyone, there aren't any rituals to follow, or nonsense to believe in. There is a ceremony to show respect to the TM teachers of the past that shared the technique, but that's as far as it goes. Otherwise, it's you and your brain. I want to improve myself for myself. I think that TM will help me organize my thoughts and gain clarity to make smarter decisions. I think it will calm me down and make me less angry and reactionary. I'm a patient person already, but I think this will give me calm. I say that I think this will happen because I've only be at it a couple weeks so far. I feel good. It hasn't completely changed my life or anything, but I feel like I have made an improvement that will help me in the future.
