from a lecture:
(circa
1968)
"In the practice (of Transcendental Meditation), the mind experiences
(the) finer state of the thought process, and eventually
transcends the experience
of
(the) finer state, and settles down in a state of no activity: the mind becomes tranquil, pure consciousness -- transcendental consciousness ...
And because this (state) is the source of every thought, and because
thought is the basis of all activity,
and because activity is the basis of all achievement and fulfillment,
what we find is the fulfillment is based in this
tranquil state of consciousness."

is quiet, it knows itself." *

Military Medicine Accepts PTSD and TM Study for Publication
A new pilot study to be published
in Military Medicine shows that Iraq and Afghanistan veterans experienced a 50% drop in PTSD symptoms by the 4th
week of Transcendental Meditation practice, and even greater improvements by two months and three months.
The study *, titled "Effects of Transcendental Meditation (TM) in Veterans of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation
Iraqi Freedom (OIF) with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): A Pilot Study," is scheduled to be published early this
summer and is summarized in the new book The Resilient Warrior: Healing the Hidden Wounds of War (2011) by author Jerry Yellin with Dr. Sarina Grosswald.
"If I am an example of a recovered PTSD veteran, Transcendental
Meditation should be offered to all veterans as an option. The cost per veteran for a lifetime of health [through TM practice]
is just one-fourth of the annual projected cost to the VA for one year of treatment. Why aren’t we pursuing
this 5000 year old modality to help our young veterans and their families recover from the profound affect Iraq and Afghanistan
has had on our military?"
"In the patients who
received Amrit with their chemotherapy, there was reduced hemotologic toxicity, vomiting, and diarrhea,
and improved sleep, weight, and an overall feeling of well-being."
"Amrit Kalash is 1,000 times
more effective per dose than comparable amounts of Vitamin C and Vitamin E in scavenging free radicals and preventing damage
to the body."
" Yet now, that terrible and distant conflict had
grown into a "single-interest" fight which threatened to enflame the world. Nathaniel knew the power of that
interest, and of its backers -- the power to extend war forever. "

" This simple knowledge, Nathaniel had argued
for years, was what every individual in society should be given right away ... "
What
if I want to learn Transcendental Meditation but can't afford it?
"To give more people the opportunity to learn the TM technique, there’s
a long-term, low-interest educational loan from Citibank that brings the monthly cost to about $45. The loan covers
the entire course fee even if one is not currently enrolled in any college."

"The root of the problem is stress, and the effect of stress
on brain-functioning ...
Even one dive into a state of very deep rest (during Transcendental Meditation)
can provide that keynormalization process that will take the brain out of it's fight-or-flight
state and restore balanced brain functioning ...
[even sometimes in their very first sitting of Transcendental
Meditation]."
