Student Society Sponsors Lecture
On Transcendental Meditation
An introductory lecture on Transcendental
Meditation sponsored by the Students
International Meditation Society
will be held October 19 at St. Thomas
Hall.
Transcendental Meditation, fostered by
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, has spread
rapidly to over 40,000 students on an
estimated 300 campuses in the United
States. Based on the assumption that "life
is bliss", the art of meditation proposes
to expand the conscious mind and release
its full capacity for awareness.
Transcendental Meditation is a simple technique
which takes the attention naturally from
the ordinary thinking level to the source of
thought, the reservoir of energy and intelligence."
There is a natural tendency to improve
our lives by changing the external situation so
that it will become more pleasant." says Jerry
Jarvis, head of the S.I.M.S.
"But our generation realizes that this is not
enough and that the most important thing is to
get your head together. We understand that it is
upon the strength of the inner self that the
accomplishments of the outer man rests."
The S.I.M.S. states that by meditating
fifteen minutes morning and evening, a person
discovers the daily joy involved in unfolding his
inner potential. Transcendental Meditation can
be learned and enjoyed by everyone regardless
of age, race, or religious beliefs. The only
prerequisite is that a person be off drugs for at
least 15 days before initiation into actual
participation.

Meditation or the lecture on October 19,
