Doug, I guess the big question is, can TMers keep from telling other meditators
how superior TM is over any other technique. If not, I would recommend they not
attend because it will end up causing more tension..

..Meditation 's Going Mainstream
Maharishi said that the world today needed the intercession of the saints
who are established in themselves and are therefore, nearer to the almighty
power.

Should TM’ers condescend to send in support a group of meditators to help?
The Contemplative Prayer and Reflection Group in Burlington will host a Day of
Silent Prayer from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Saturday at Christ Episcopal Church,
and everyone is welcome. There’s never a bad day for prayer.
People are welcome to drop in or out as they choose.Those arriving late are
asked to enter quietly.
The science on people joining in collective meditationwould indicate a priority
in joining groups to meditate.

The secular approach to meditation is opening a lot of doors right now when it
comes to brain health and stress relief,
Meditation has been around for more than 2,500 years, but it has taken a
secular approach and scientific research — not to mention added publicity from
technology companies like Google and Apple, which encourage employees to
meditate — to reintroduce it into popular culture. But can meditation, and its
cousin, “mindfulness,” become staples of urban life the way that yoga, a rarity
until the early 1990s, has become a widespread activity?

With so many mindful goods and services for sale, it can be easy to forget that
mindfulness is a quality of being, not a piece of merchandise.
..while purists sometimes wrung their hands about its commercialization, their
lamentations were in vain. Let loose in the American marketplace, yoga took on
a life of its own. Now, she said, the same thing is happening with mindfulness.
..Though this may result in less signal and more noise, it doesn’t mean
mindfulness can’t still be beneficial. Yoga may have changed over the years,
but plenty of authentic teachers and ashrams can still be found. The same
dynamic will most likely play out with mindfulness, too. Strange variations on
mindfulness will proliferate, while pockets of traditional teachings endure.
