This is just spiritual materialism at it's worst: simple McMeditation methods sold for such extreme pricing? So high that people have to take out loans for this? If in fact they are doing this on the American taxpayers dollar, I hope someone in the government catches on and puts a stop to this. TM *was* mainstream years ago, it hasn't been for years other than through going to extraordinary lengths by their global marketing apparatus to keep it in the public eye. The mainstream now is SSRS and various brands of Buddhist meditation. Vipassana courses--which are 10 day long courses--are filling up months in advance and have huge waiting lists. And they don't even advertise or send B-celebs around to market for them.
