Folks are getting old. 60 is the new 70 and not the other way around (as "scientists" expected).

Rates of Change.  The calculus of aging in TM..

*Some of what we can see in these lists is a /natural /aging-out of the Post-War Cohort, of 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. *

*You can see this particular cusp in the age span of meditators in the Dome 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/*/./
