And it worked like a charm. People who posture about TM as "science" freaked out and went ballistic the moment they thought that the magical ceremony full of magical words spoken to magical gods was no longer in place. To them such an idea is as heretical as the notion that a giant beanstalk just grew on its own outside Jack's place, and no magical beans were involved. Can't have that. Where's the "purity of the teaching" in that? :-) :-) :-) Fortunately there are some techniques of meditation and self discovery that can be taught without any magical words being spoken and magical rice being waved in the air and then offered to magical beings who don't really exist. In the future these tech- niques will win out over the ones that cling to magical ceremonies for the simple reason that fairy- tales don't exist and most people know that. Only the ones who *don't* know that cling to the idea that the magical ceremony is somehow "necessary."
