At my age, I'm not much interested in left-handed basket-weaving or memorizing a bunch of non-sense syllables or sitting in a locked-leg position concentrating on the tip of my nose. It costs a lot of money to take a Tony Robbins course or get audited by a Scientologist. It costs over $1500 just to take a one day computer course these days. The average tuition for university is over $15,000 per semester. Cigarettes or cable TV could cost a person thousands of dollars a year. So, learning TM to be able to relax for $2,500 seems like a bargain to me, as long as you don't turn it into a guru cult like you and some others did.
