I could create some for you if you wish, I mean the Pope, come on! :-) BTW, TM has been taught as a secular science (without ethics) and look at what's happened......it's become science *in lieu of* Religion, (for many) not a good idea at all especially since all the components of TM are not there since it had to be compromised in order to teach it as a science. TM could successfully be called and promoted as a *Religious Science* IMO, and that would be honest.
