The tm Cult

About thirty years ago, the tm people were usually quite sincere, kind, and intelligent.

But a lot has changed since then. During that time-period, the once-sincere group has grown into a shameful, money-grubbing cult. (It offers to "meditate the crime away" in major cities, but charges millions for the privilege. Its headquarters is in a small burg called Fairfield,Iowa, where, even in this tiny village, they have proved that they cannot stop all crime.:)

My advice is to run, not walk, away from this dangerous, mindcontrolling cult! You can easily study meditation without the aid of the cult, or its idolatrously worshipped guru! And you can use absolutely any phrase as your mantra. (We usually recommend a four-syllable mantra, such as, "I am at peace," or, I am Love, and..." or, "Does not matter," or, "God is Love and..."

The possibilities are literally endless! At any rate, the high prices that they charge for mantras "specifically designed for only you" is a fraud. (In one study, it was discovered that several members of an ashram shared a single mantra, even though they had been fed this line, this lie, about "receving a mantra designed for only you.")

Keep reading, keep growing, keep loving, but please keep away from this silly cult.:)
