It's also rather naive to think that the top 2-3% of society-- arguably the most sophisticated "shoppers" and consumers--would not see through the 20,000+ USD it would take to get the TM technique it's not-so-advanced TM "advanced techniques" and the TM$P. It would not take a great deal of savy in the Spiritual Supermarket to know that you could get a lot more for a lot less than what TM programs cost--even if the prices were significantly reduced. Also the level of spiritual naivete on 'things eastern' is much less than it was in TM's hayday. It is likely the level of understanding will only increase in the future, further lessening the palatability of 'be-all and end-all' meditation techniques sold as a fast-track to enlightenment. And hasn't the main influx in Neo-Hindu meditation *already* shifted to SSRS's empire--including the top 2-3%?
