Announcement of new version of "The TM Book"

[Robert Boyer]

In case you're interested, this book is a clear, accurate introduction to the Transcendental Meditation (TM) and TM-Sidhi Program, 

including overviews of experimental and applied research over the past 50 years toward higher states of human consciousness.

 

Because the book deals with many issues now being considered on this forum in a simple and accessible format (for the general population), I felt it would be appropriate to post this excerpt from an announcement prepared by research psychologist 

Dr. David Wear Orme-Johnson -- who is an author of the book along with educator Dr. Denise Denniston Gerace.

(The announcement included reference to a fascinating book of memoirs -- also below -- by David's wife, Rhoda, about their experience of being with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the founder of the TM and TM-Sidhi Program.

Thanks and best wishes,

Bob

Here's the excerpt:

Dear Friends,

The TM & TM-Sidhi Book: Enlightenment, invincibility, world peace, is now available on Amazon.com. It is the classic TM Book updated to 2023 by Denise Denniston Gerace and David W. Orme-Johnson, assisted by Allen Cobb on all things technical. If you have already bought a copy, please post a review on Amazon.

Since the first edition in 1975, The TM Book has sold more than one million copies in seven languages. Our new edition presents a wealth of insight and up-to-date information presented as a simple informal dialog between TM teachers and students from every continent: men, women, young, and old. The dialog addresses the issues of why meditate? What TM is and what it is not. What are the benefits of regular TM practice? The book answers these issues with a unique combination of cartoons and whimsical drawings and 80+ science charts and diagrams. The scientific charts illustrate decades of extensive research on TM in psychology, sociology, health, aging, and stress reduction, including PTSD....

Exciting for me are charts on the little-known published research by MIU faculty and PhD students on cosmic consciousness (CC). Previous research had established the scientific reality of Transcendental Consciousness (TC) as a fourth major state of consciousness distinct from waking, dreaming, and sleeping. These historic studies describe the neurophysiologic characteristics of brain integration in CC. They document that the most successful individuals in diverse fields in society have CC brains. This shows that CC is a natural developmental milestone of human development. Moreover, randomized controlled studies have shown that regular TM practice significantly develops a person’s brain in the direction of CC. If you have been regularly practicing TM, it is a scientific fact that you have been developing the neurophysiology of cosmic consciousness.
