In fact, Seinfeld does not claim it is mystical ... he, and even the people from the TM center do not claim anything religious or mystical. He seemed to indicate it left him feeling refreshed.
The TM center that is by me here in LA is a very small and modest house on a business street. No obvious activity or noise. I was lead to believe they would give me a word to meditate on ... that’s it.
Yep, exactly...your mantra. And your description is exactly right. No mumbo-jumbo, black magic, devil-worshipping going on. For me, it was just a mental exercise. I still went to a Presbyterian church!
Ditto on the old two-story house in downtown Charlotte that was the TM center. If the organization still owns that property, they’ve done very well property value wise.
