1.0 out of 5 stars Huge Sales Brochure, little more., Dec 9 2002

This review is from: Transcendental Meditation: Revised and Updated Edition (Paperback)

This book DOES NOT reveal any techniques for TM. It is little more than a huge sales brochure to get you to buy the TM course at your local TM center. If you want to learn TM or any kind of meditation, this book is not for you. I gave it a '1' only because '0' is not an option.

A very good introduction to TM. Should be read by anyone who wants to know more about Transcendental Meditation.

I must, however, make a very severe comment. The author portrays TM as a kind of infallible magic. I have no doubt about his sincerity. Bit I cannot accept the argument that TM must be learnt from a face-to-face interview with a teacher and cannot be learnt by reading a book or listening to a tape. TM is not that much different from auto-suggestion, self-hypnosis or the Silva Mind Control or even prayer. It costs about $1600 (in Canada, as of Oct 2004) to be enrolled in a TM course with a teacher. Are you trying to raise money for the TM organisation Mr. Roth ?

5.0 out of 5 stars A Simple Introduction to Wonderful Knowledge, May 20 2004

This review is from: Transcendental Meditation: Revised and Updated Edition (Paperback)

I have to say at the outset that although I have been practicing the TM technique for 28 years and teaching it for 24 years, I still enjoyed reading Bobby Roth's book, not only because its subject is very dear to me, but also because there is so much of Bobby in it. What you may read between the lines of this volume is the unmistakable joy of life that Bobby brings to everything he undertakes-the natural result of his many years of practice of the TM technique. And anyone who learns the practice can have that same joy and enthusiasm, as Bobby mentions.

It is absolutely true that the practice cannot be learned from a book, and Bobby makes that quite clear. Too many of the reviews of the book found on these pages express irritation, even anger, because the reader failed to understand that the work is not an instruction manual, but simply a descriptive introduction to a very simple and effective practice for creating more peace, more life, and more naturalness within one's life.

In this time on Earth, when there appears to be so much darkness and strife, any work that endeavors to bring more light and harmony into human life has profound value. This book has great value not only because it is suffused with the inner light of someone who has been working for the good of the world for many years, but also because it pertains to what is the greatest knowledge available to mankind, the knowledge of how to create peace within oneself and thereby create a peaceful world.

If the people of the world do not recognize the value of this wonderful practice right now, it is only a matter of time before they will, and Bobby Roth will, I hope, have had a large hand in helping them with that recognition.

If you're interested in the simplest, most natural technique of meditation which can be learned, this little book is an easy way to find out more about it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Yeah, Right.
This is really a sales brochure. It makes (vague) promises of better health... IF you give the TM organization hundreds of dollars for a beginner's "introductory"... Read more
