Abstrakt

The hypothesis tested is that the psychotherapeutic use of Transcendental Meditation is theologically permissible in a Christian context. Research on the technique is discussed as are Christian objections to it. TM is deemed permissible for moderate use in some circumstances, and the hypothesis is conditionally sustained. But concern is expressed about the religious (Hind] aspects of the Science of Creative Intelligence, the philosophy surrounding the TM program, and about the esotericism and secrecy in the advanced TM Sidhis program. Recommended are more scientific research and theological reflection on TM. A new, non-esoteric adaptation of TM is presented.
