blusc0ut, thanks for grabbing this for us. It's from Wikileaks and is titled "New Points for the Standard Introductory Lecture on the Transcendental Meditation program from the International Course to Recertify Governors, April 2005."
I don't see anything one way or the other about "belief" being required for TM to work, but from point #10 on, from what I can remember of the intro lectures I've been to (most recently around 20 years ago), there are some interesting differences. Can anyone who was teaching back then verify that my memory is accurate? These new points seem to involve a lot more of a hard sell, among other things. These are from 2005, before the David Lynch project with school kids and before the TMO took much of the woo-woo-iest stuff off its Web sites. Are these 2005 points reflected in intro lectures currently, or have they been toned back down? I'd imagine the kids get a more down-to-earth intro lecture in any case. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com wrote: > > > Hello, > > This email message is a notification to let you know that > a file has been uploaded to the Files area of the FairfieldLife > group. > > File : /TMO - Documents/TM-introlecture-april-2005.pdf > Uploaded by : blusc0ut > Description : TM Intro- lecture 2005 wikileaks > > You can access this file at the URL: > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/files/TMO%20-%20Documents/TM-introlecture-april-2005.pdf > > > To learn more about file sharing for your group, please visit: > http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/groups/original/members/web/index.html > Regards, > > blusc0ut >
