It's not because of the $3,000.00 price tag. It's because the people who present and teach TM under the auspices of the TMO today don't, themselves, practise the TM Program. So when they present it, it doesn't come off as genuine (you know the old adage "practise what you preach"), this vibe is picked up by the public and people just don't start because of it.
Were TM teachers actually practising the TM Program themselves, people would be FLOCKING to us a la Merv Days and gladly paying $3,000.00 per. Sure, these TM teachers of today are all practising the TM Technique, but they aren't practicing the TM Program. What's the difference (as if I have to explain all of this to you!)? The TM technique is those two periods each day where we sit down and practice meditation with our mantra as we were taught to. That's the TM technique. The TM Program is those two twenty minute periods of restful alertness balanced by the other 23-plus hours OUTSIDE of meditation where we engage in activity OF OUR OWN CHOOSING AND ACCORDING TO OUR OWN COMMON SENSE, TRADITIONS AND CULTURES. The TM Program does NOT constitute a follow-the-guru course of action where we give up our faculties of reason and our culture and our traditions and anyone doing that is NOT -- I repeat NOT -- a participant in the TM Program. And that's why no one is starting TM today. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
