weekend workshop.

Thanks for the update on the prices. They do seem to be getting pretty
reasonable. What would $35/$75 in 1970 be in today’s dollars?

At the very end you allude to the fact that Peter and you are both
former TM teachers, and you say that TM is too expensive?
Maharishi set the price at $2500, but that price has steadily dropped.
Now, it is quite possible to learn TM for free via the David Lynch
Foundation, and David Lynch has made it perfectly clear that if you
write (paper, not email) his organization and explain your financial
situation, the DLF will help pay for TM instruction.
Currently, unmodified, TM costs:
$1680 for couples ($420 per month x4 months)
$960 for adults (($240 per month x4 months)
$360 for students ($90 per month x4 months)
- local scholarships and grants from TM center
- financial aid from David Lynch Foundation
I know several people who ended up paying a small fraction of the
official fee after they wrote directly to the DLF requesting financial
aid.
The interesting thing is that under the current organization
guidelines, the TM teacher still gets paid their full share, even if
the discounts make what the student pays far less than the teacher's
cut (~$500 per adult or ~$300 per student).
the creative financial crapola from 40+ years ago appears to have gone
away.

I find it amusing that both of you seem to have a very Maharishi-esque
perspective about things but refuse to name him OR TM throughout the
conversation.
I also find it amusing that despite Russell's claim that he's
interested in research on enlightenment, he appears completely unaware
of the recent (past 30 years) research on pure consciousness and
cosmic consciousness.
I once asked him why he no longer did TM and he said that it was
because he didn't become enlightened within the timeframe that
Maharishi had promised...
