Thx, as I recall, the numbers of initiations took a precipitous decline after 
the 2nd appearance on the Merv Griffin show, (1975 I think).  One can make a 
case that TM initiations are still going strong in countries like 
(-------Stan); but here in the U.S. I see no evidence that what people called 
the "Movement" is moving anywhere.
 What was the reason for the drop-off in 1975?  It's obvious!  Disco music.  
This had a jarring effect on people's nervous systems and they could no longer 
even sit with their eyes closed, lest their brains explode.  But people already 
practicing TM were able to ward off the harmful Disco vibes.
 ...OTOH, it can be argued that the drop-off was not only taking place in the 
TM Movement, but in other New-Age groups as well, but some later than 1975.  
Muktananda's movement declined rapidly after he passed away. (I believe it was 
1982), but it was well known that he had heart problems.
   At any rate, the impulse of creative intelligence shifted elsewhere.  Do you 
know what happened in 1975?  Wozniak wrote the first words on a computer 
terminal that popped up on the screen, and Microsoft was born in the same year.
 I believe that profound inner plane events are taking place now..  More on 
that later.
