Through TM, all can reflect God
Continued from pg. 13
The idea that every person is a very
important self, and possesses the ability
to mirror God, has been important in
this country since Ralph Waldo
Emerson, according to Colin Campbell
in Psychology Today. His transcendent
al meditation appeals to our electronic
society the way Emerson's transcenden
talism appealed to a nation growing in
the Industrial Revolution, according to
Campbell.
Rev. Elmer Shaw, pastor of the
Methodist Church in Valparaiso, said
Biblical passages relate to man's need
to meditate "if you want to stretch it
that way."
"There are things that relate to man's
need to get by himself and find out who
he is and why he's doing it," Shaw said.
Relaxation and retreat
Shaw pointed out two passages that
referred to the concept of relaxation of
man retreating within himself. In the
Garden of Gethsemane and in the
wilderness, Christ retreated into .soli
tude, Shaw said.
The Lincoln World Plan Center offers
a meditation course in seven steps. The
first two lessons are informational
lectures, Rama said, which are open to
the public. The next sessions are
personal interview with his instructor
where a person is assigned his own
mantra.
After the introductory lectures, a
student pays a $65 fee to continue the
course, Rama said.
Nonprofit, educational
"We're a nonprofit educational or
ganization," Rama said. "The money
we take in from fees, we spend to make
TM avai lable to more people. ' '
Although some practitioners of TM
tell how their mind and bodies have
improved through the practice, others
have become disenchanted with the
practice. One ex-TM'er Marcia Eddy,
said L'ne realized the practice was "not
what I was looking for."
"I felt so isolated," she said. "It was
like retreating back into the womb. I
wanted something in which I could feel
more in harmony with mankind.
"I also wanted something more
practical. When I'm treated out by
some problem, the last thing that I'm
able to do is sit down and.meditate."
