thieves sharing the grand TM adventure".

Flowering of Spiritual Movements..
Through generational attrition when spiritual practice communal movements
recede, like happened in the 19th and early 20th Century with the Quakers or
the Shaker movement, evidently “it ain’t over until it is over”.
The TM movement today is undergoing a generational transition and, like within
storylines of these other movements, that which does remain of the TM movement
is seeking a place of renewed relevance to a greater world.
The story of the Shakers is well told as a collapse popularly (mis-)construed
to their practice of celibacy, the Society of Friends broadsided by
evangelicalism and social and generational change went through a recession in
their numbers in the same time frame. Though both groups were founded by
mystics as spiritual practice groups both continue even now in a vestige of
their former selves.
The generational recession of numbers in the old ‘un-programmed’ practice of
the Society of Friends Quaker Meetings is shown in an appendix published at the
very beginning of the 20th Century.
Evidently in the scope of attrition of transcendent meditationist numbers
attending group meditations of the TM movement a similar generational collapse
is being witnessed as happened with the Quakers, Shakers and also at Amana
Colony.
As a founding energy (shakti) of a mystic and spiritual practice of a
formation era came to be supplanted by monotony of maintaining institutional
states and causes built up from founding eras then succeeding generations
evidently becoming routinized and tired went their own ways on into the
material world of their day. ..all work and no ‘shakti’ make Jack and Betty
dull worker ants.
