Peter's response gets a bit closer to the point of my question. I understand why people believe there must be a fee (as Bob stated) but I'm a bit curious about TM teachers who go off on their own and put all the money in their pocket.... many after bitching about the TMO money issues. How long will it be before no one learning really knows if they are receiving Maharishi's TM? Probably within my lifetime (and I'm already a pretty old f^^k!!).
