But the mass of people, who could benefit from it, do not shop in these stores, so even if they would like to have it, it is out of reach. They do not live like the elite, however much they may admire them or want to be like them. There are other ways to look at it. Some friends of mine learned TM in early 1974. It was US$64. Inflation adjusted to the current US Consumer Price Index (which sadly does not accurately measure inflation but it saves our bankrupt government moola) the price would be US$315. If you measure the inflation adjusted cost using the way the United States government measured inflation back in 1974, the current cost would be US$1195. You can learn mindfulness kinds of meditation for free or for considerably less.
