No not that George Washington...
Twenty-year Air Force Vet George Washington’s life was pretty much a disaster. Homeless (living in his car and a motor home), mentally disabled, unemployed and unemployable, addicted to alcohol and marijuana, divorced.
He learned TM. Now? I think it’s hocus pocus. I think it’s baloney. I think it’s a witch’s brew. But that doesn’t matter what I think. The fact is that I practice. I practice consistently. And it works. It works. Now he’s in a Masters program. He’s completely employable but not needing the work. Oh, as for homelessness. He now own a 1 1⁄2 acre property in his home town of Palmdale, CA priced at $400,000.
For anxiety sufferers he says, “Do TM. When your mind goes bonkers, tell your mind, Stop it. Just stop it."

Katie Love
Talk about trauma. Katie Love grew up virtually an orphan after her mother committed suicide. She was then adopted into a Jehovah's Witnesses household and she went knocking on doors spreading the Word, but she felt trapped by all the regimentation. What did TM do for her? “What TM did for me,” she says, “was it took all the tools that I had, like therapy, books, my love of nature, and put it all together. Set it on a course of easy, relaxed thinking.” Now she is a published author and a stand-up comedian, and she doesn’t get butterflies before a show any more. And TM fills her with creativity. So what about the trauma? Ancient history for her now.
