The tm Cult

The tm people have always had a wonderful worldview based on the ancient mystical texts of India. It is sad that they have evolved into a closed cult, whose members feel "chosen" and superior, and whose leader displays the ego shamelessly. That was clearly never the intent of the wisdom of mysticism, in its Indian, or any other, variety. So, while the teachings are often bright and beautiful, the cult itself has been caught up in ego-worship and dogmatism. At this moment, Indian mystics are whirling dervishly in their graves! (Or is that Sufism?:)

The solution to human, and planetary, problems can be summed up in a word rarely used in all the complex verbiage of this self-styled "guru," Love! The tm cult offers to bring peace to whole cities by importing meditators, but they charge from ten to forty million dollars to do it! Isn't that hilarious?

Still, I was very refreshed by the genuinely universal wisdom included in the words of the old cultist. His cult has taken over a tiny city called, I think, Fairfield, Iowa, which has a tiny population. Although every other person in the little berg is an every day meditator, crime has not disappeared even there!
