Meditation and Spiritual Study, can't be compared to traditional education that
prepares you for a job in society...
How could something that originated with Guru Dev, who, as a personality, was
about as far as you can get, from being a productive member of society...
If he were born in this country, he would either be put on Ritalin, or
committed to a mental institution, so he would 'get with the program'...
Jesus explained the difference between serving spirit and serving Mammon...
The TM Movement is just a mirror reflection of the culture, as a whole...
You could see the beginnings of the slip/sliding away of the movement, as you
could see the beginnings of the slip/sliding away, of American Culture, with
Reaganism, and the selling out to the corporations and drug dealing weapons
suppliers, and fear and war-mongers, and people who want to keep the medical
system with it's passion for life and death decisions, in the hands of the
Corporations...
If some TM teachers what to teach TM, on their own, they can, and can charge
any amount they wish...
It's not so much the TM culture, it's the whole damn culture...
They are not interested...there's too much noise in the system...
To many are brainwashed into thinking materially, that they can't even conceive
of devoting themselves to anything, that is not material in nature...
So, that's the way it is...
