..the whole TM organization is focusing on the next generation and bringing them in to leadership roles. This is the focus also of the Enlightened Leadership International organization who with the movement is hosting a TTC for mostly under 40's in Bali in September and there are already over 250 applicants.

It has a lot of the WW II and post-war cohort generation on it now, as would be expected of age 70 and 80+ year older meditators. The earlier lists include more of TM boomers I and II who have passed away. Next up to bat are Boomers I and then Boomers II, naturally. The lists of meditators that are further down show what was the natural mortality of TM Boomers I and II too. In any population there are people who die-off all along as a natural attrition. TM’ers are no different that way. In fact, a natural die-off in modern humans really accelerates once people hit 70, to where very very few make it to their 80’s. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : We need not to get too defensive about this.

Your odds of living 10 years more from 60 years of age is about 5 in 6. Your odds of making it 10 more years if you are 68 are about 3 in 4. If you are 70 the odds are 2 in 3 that you will make it 10 more years. Age 75, 1 in 2 will last ten more years. Age 80, 1 in 3 you will last 10 years. At age 85, 3 in 20 will make it another 10 years. Age 88, 1 in 20 living at age 88 will make it another 10 years, ..cumulatively, most everyone else is gone before then. The die-off really starts to happen from about age 60.

The calculus of aging in TM.. Some of what we can see in these mortality lists of TM'ers below is a natural aging-out of the Post-War Cohort, the people who were early with Maharishi in the very early SRM movement, the Walter Koch and Charlie Lutes generation of TM. Now what we are seeing in TM is an accelerating rate of attrition to aging-out of the Boomer I and Boomer II’s. Interestingly, the cusp time period where the Boomers I and Boomers II met was the time frame where TM took off in popular (college undergrad, grad student, professor-age) culture for a time. A lot of the TM movement intake happened in those years 1968-76, over the cusp of the Boomers I and II. The teaching of TM virtually disappeared during the 1980's, 1990's and first half of the 00's. Initiations have crept upward since y-2006. You can see this particular cusp of Boomers I and II in the general age span in the Dome meditation or at campus meetings of the TM community now. The WWII generation is pretty much gone from the ranks of TM now. The Post-War Cohort are pretty gone or geriatric now and the Boomers I are increasingly shuffling or gone on. Boomers II are increasingly ‘in diminish’. Time is short regardless. Post-War Cohort Born: 1928-1945 Coming of Age: 1946-1963 Age in 2004: 59 to 76 Current Population: 41 million (declining) Boomers I or The Baby Boomers Born: 1946-1954 Coming of Age: 1963-1972 Age in 2004: 50-58 Current Population: 33 million Boomers II or Generation Jones Born: 1955-1965 Coming of Age: 1973-1983 Age in 2004: 39 to 49 Current Population: 49 million For a long time the Baby Boomers were defined as those born between 1945 and 1964. That would make the generation huge (71 million) and encompass people who were 20 years apart in age. It didn't compute to have those born in 1964 compared with those born in 1946. http://www.socialmarketing.org/newsletter/features/generation2.htm http://www.socialmarketing.org/newsletter/features/generation2.htm [ For researching, Scroll further down thru the 'previous' posts in to this thread to find other lists of deceased meditators, ] ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : Robert Vaughn Abrams • April 13, 1949 • Seattle, WA • August 12, 1997 • North Carolina Roy Adams • February 16, 1949 • August, 1980 • California Jefferson Aikens • December, 2015 • Fairfield, Iowa Antoinette F.
