Nader's book is 510 Euros (US$626) now at: http://tinyurl.com/84vk5. Click on publications by other authors, etc. I had several experiences over the last couple of years that saved me from throwing more money away vis a vis the TM organization: 1. About seven years ago, after giving several hundred dollars to the local org, I received no personal acknowledgement, other than a tax statement. I felt that my gesture was personal and sincere, yet they couldn't be bothered to thank me. End of donations. 2. About five years ago, when the World Peace bonds were announced, I wanted to buy some, but they weren't authorized for sale in California. Whew! 3. About two years ago, I purchased a Maharishi Ayurvedic treatment for a friend. Although they did get some benefit from it, the facility and overall experience was not worth the money spent. End of that. Now, *that's* "support of Nature"! Overall, the TM organization trades on its supposed ability to offer the supplicant true, easy enlightenment, while most of members and many of its supporters struggle in impovershed conditions, living in fantasy land. Lessons learned: 1. The TM technique works, still does, and hooray for the $65 I spent 30 years ago. 2. The TM-Sidhis work, though they are so powerful and time intensive that once they have done their job, that of purifying the nervous system to experience God Consciousness, no need to continue. And I earned them by working a year for the Movement; a fair trade- off. 3. Maharishi's translation of the Bhagavad Gita. Good book, and lots of knowledge in it. 4. To follow my heart and mind, wherever they lead. Even if those paths completely contradicted what the Movement leaders were saying. And they frequently did (and do). 5. That true lasting enlightenment comes from the hard fought realization of Oneness of all beings, and as some have said, this final step cannot be taught. Oddly, we can find others within Ourselves easily, but when we seek to locate our self within our Self, there is nothing there! ------------------------ Yahoo!
