Of course they would disagree. However, the alphabet soup that doesn’t practice TM would agree.

If I chose to argue this, and I don’t because each person’s spiritual path, especially that of Jews, has more twists and paradoxes that an Escher drawing on steroids, but if I chose to argue this with the rabbi, I believe the rabbi’s best argument would be that TM is like pistachios, which are kosher. In other words, there’s nothing wrong with TM.

I would take the position that exploring our specific traditions and scriptures would yield something quite surprising, and would be closer to our task as Jews. I’m sure the rest of the non-TM alphabet might take the same position regarding their cultures, scriptures, and traditions.
