Wow, I didn’t realize Paul was so deep into the latest fashion sweeping Hollywood celebrities -- TM or Transcendental Meditation. He participated in the celebrity extravaganza at Radio City Music Hall organized by TM devotee David Lynch. I thought Paul had more common sense than that...
Anywho, my question is, has Paul been into this ersatz worldview since the halcyon days at the ashram in India with the Mahareshi Mahesh ("Sexy Sadie ") Yogi? Or did he just lately get (back) into it?

I think Paul took what he needed from TM and uses it when required. He recorded 'Cosmically Conscious' for 'Off The Ground ' in 1993, tho only a small excerpt is on the album, so it's always been around.
Paul in the 'Anthology' book, so early 1990's.
I learnt how to meditate. I don’t meditate as much now, but I say to my kids that it’s not a bad thing to learn, because if you’re stuck somewhere or if you’re a bit disturbed, it is a great thing to do.

I wonder if Mike Love is a part of this. He nearly rivaled George with his TM obsession.

That's the Paul I know and love -- casual cock of the head; winsome, charmingly reasonable-sounding fence-straddling...

If you watch those videos I linked, you'll see quite a few celebrities from Hollywood and the music world -- including Eddie Vedder, Sheryl Crow, Donovan, etc. It really does seem to be, as Donovan would say, "the very next phase".

I wonder if David Lynch has introduced Paul McCartney
and Richard Beymer to each other. My world would explode.
