Maum's The Word
There's a seven-step method which is described thus:
Level 1: Subtracting the remembered thoughts
Level 2: Subtracting the images of myself, images of my human relationships, and myself
Level 3: Subtracting my body
Level 4: Subtracting my body and the universe
Level 5: Subtracting my body and the universe
Level 6: The self disappears by subtraction and I become the universe
Level 7: Subtracting the illusionary world of pictures and myself living inside that world
I have no idea how effective this process is, though the pamphlet included several testimonials. But I must say, levels four and five seem a bit redundant. I know it's a big step, but couldn't they just make it a single, long one? While we're at it, I think we could cut level three as well, and fold it into four. Bam, now it's a five-step method.

If you subtract it twice, doesn't that leave you with an extra body?
Wow it this what sports commentators mean when they go on about addition by subtraction
Reminds me of the time that Buffy the Vampire Slayer skewered one of the cliches that I hate the most.
WESLEY: I expect you to be ready for anything. Remember the three key words for any Slayer: preparation, preparation, preparation.
BUFFY: That's one word three times.
