An introduction to the Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique by Dr John Hagelin

i trust him because he's wearing a suit and sitting in front of books.

TM is valid and worth infinitely more than they charge. There are also myriad other techniques which all lead to the same place. I'm not sure how TM has come to charge for their education of the technique, but I'm glad at least someone is doing it in an organized way. Enlightenment is free and available whenever you are ready. If you want formal education in a meditation practice, it is fair to pay a teacher. For God's sake, you will spend much more than this on lattes.

How do you expect a teacher to live; buy food, transport, clothes, shelter etc.... without charging for his/her time involved in teaching you this knowledge which benefits you will receive over a lifetime? TM teachers offer their knowledge to you whenever you seek it after you have paid a simple $1500 or so.

Do you expect UNI lecturers to offer their time and knowledge for free? Ridiculous.

Oh, and it's easy for people with money, connections, and power to 'bend the unified field' to produce research results that prove just what they say! If someone completely unbiased and not related to them comes up with the same results, then I would yield. But people - don't be ignorant sheep!

[nick2be]

If its so easy to learn, how come you have to pay $1500. It makes TM stand out as someone who sells happiness. Non-profit gives it a tax-exemption.

Make the training available as open source. That will make it useful for far more people. Isn't that the goal?

When I learned this in the 70s I paid $40.

[bladdan]

how do u learn Transcendental Meditation, i have adhd

[donna12283]

why does it cost $1500 to learn this? What about single moms and their children who really want to learn this,but can't possibly come up with that much money????

[CrossUniv]

@donna12283 It can be learned for as little as $750 and they have scholarships too. They are non-profit.

Dr Hagelin is one of the world's greatest experts on meditation, having spent much time working directly with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

To Dr. Hagelin Thanks for the telepathic care of Margaret... from Margaret. I did need some intelligent people around me. Thanks.

[gnulebin]

"...until the mind comes to a state of complete rest."

What is the rest mass of the mind? The rest mass of the proton is 938.28 MeV

[Dhrishtadyumna]

The mind is not a physical object that is literally brought to rest. He means the mind is no longer producing, developing, calculating and interpreting thoughts.

Your brains are real though right
