**END** If people in our lives come to feel that there is something that we have that they want, too, then they will ask for initiation with no prompting or selling from our side necessary. There is no need to sell this teaching anymore, only to live it, radiate it, and teach it to those who ask to be taught. I've initiated occasionally over the years under this model and it's been delightful. I talk about what I know and what I feel, and explain to the extent necessary my own conflicts about the TMO and the fact that the people who learn from me will not be recognized by that organization. There is no exchange of money or gifts besides the prasad given to them after initiation.
