Actually the split of the
Protestants from the Church came about from the dismay of people with their
interceptors, so it was very similar. But I think the issue that drove Luther
was the issue of marriage. But I forget.

Maybe you're right.
I wonder what models exist for an independent TM
organization. For example, why did a separate
organization for
structural integration spin off from
Ida Rolf's outfit? What good has come
of it? They're
doing essentially the same thing, as I understand
it.
The split between the Catholic church and
Protestantism doesn't
count as a precedent
because differences in theology drove the split.
The product is different, if you will.
In the case of an
independent TM organization,
the product would be the same. The selling
proposition would be, "the same great technique
at a fraction of the
cost." Which sounds like a
great raison d'etre until Maharishi drops the
body
and his replacements, struck by an attack of sanity,
drop the
price.
Of course, if the new organization fizzled because
the old
organization reformed itself, that would
not be a bad thing.
When I
think about what it would take to get an
independent TM movement off the
ground, it makes
me appreciate all the more what Maharishi
accomplished.
