Thanks for understanding my little rant. I just see
  Transcendental Meditation as having wormed its way into the
  belief systems of many secular humanists, agnostics and
  atheists, marketing itself as THE NO-GOD SPIRITUALITY quite
  successfully.

  Maharishi Mahesh Yogi was masterful at subtle influence

  He influenced the Beatles for a number of years and became a Pop
  Star in his own right. Much of the furthering of research into
  the more dreamy side of Quantum Physics was thanks to his
  influence to New Age culture, inspiring the smart hippies who
  then went to college with the ideas and were able to explore
  them mathematically.

  TM is a "third way", both Science and Religion and neither
  Science nor Religion - such is how it markets itself.

  That's not to say that it's "bad" per se; I know many people
  knowing practitioners of TM.

  I just have skeptical eyes towards it. I was raised with bits
  and pieces of New Age thought and so they kinda stick out like a
  sore thumb to me.
