That's for tuition at MUM, not to take the TM-Sidhis course. Not sure what they're charging for the TM-Sidhis these days--several thousand at least--but nowhere near $30,000. > I would be interested in knowing about the practice > itself.everything I google just talks about > The effort towards world peace and stuff. Even if the practice weren't a "private teaching" that is supposed to be kept private, it would be really difficult to describe it in a way that would both do justice to it and satisfy curiosity--just as with plain-vanilla TM, only more so. Essentially, it's a matter of entertaining in a particular manner various intentions, as formulated by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras, at the most subtle level of awareness. Quoting from Keith Wallace's book "The Physiology of Consciousness": "Maharishi emphasizes that successful performance of the TM-Sidhi program...can occur only at the junction point between the active mind and silent pure consciousess. He explains that, at the point where the awareness has become so subtle as to merge with the unboundedness of pure consciousness, the term 'thinking process' takes an entirely new form--it becomes one with the self-interacting dynamics of pure consciousness: 'One's own transcendental consciousness, functioning within itself during the TM-Sidhi Program, is the unified field functioning within itself...." Here, the mind is stationed at the level from where the performance of sanyam [the mental technique with which the intention is entertained] can elicit the total organizing power of the unified field to promote the desired effect [i.e., the specific siddhi]."
