What does "cornering the spiritual marketplace" mean? That it's the ONLY way? The best way? If it's the former, I never, ever got that impression from either MMY or the TMO. If it's the latter then, yeah, it's the impression I got and one I myself subscribe to. But that's within the context of (and this is something MMY ALSO said during the same L. Ron Hubbard tape) you can do 100 other techniques for self-development as long as you do TM twice a day for 20 minutes.
