In a way it spoke volumes to what was happening with the movement at the time--a huge infrastructure that they were having a hard time supporting any longer. And it's of course a double-edged sword--a huge infrastructure can be a great support for helping get more people to meditate but it can also be an excuse for other things as well: high, insane pricing and worst of all IMO: creating a system that discourages anything outside of itself, that becomes a closed loop, with its own lingo largely divorced from source literature so the money sources don't go elsewhere. That IMO is the fatal flaw. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!' Yahoo!
