Yeah, generation after generation, time and again. Age old distilled down to present it happened again flowing to Yogananda popularly in the Mid 20th century and again with Maharishi & TM and others too in the later 20th. Manifold more again now in recent years entering the 21st century with the open-source of the internet, modern media and easy transport to most everywhere of ideas and experience. It has gone way more than TM now. Sinhlnx, Great thoughtful post. Thanks. I forwarded it around and folks like it a lot for the perspective. -Doug in FF
