Since it is unlikely that the TMO will return to its roots, I'm advocating that a totally separate organization re-establish the secular teaching of the TM technique. For the next decade or so, the opportunity to quickly establish a new separate secular TM organization, formed from the legion of un-recertifide teachers currently out-of-the-mix of the current TMO, and of retirement age, can quickly and broadly re-establish the secular teaching of the TM technique. Establishment of the new secular organization need not diminish the current TMO, which can continue along its path of providing products and services for the extremely discerning among us who have the desire for exclusivity and means of paying for it. Perhaps a licensing agreement between the current TMO and the future secular organization can smooth things over. I see tons of goodwill flowing to the new secularized organization, and media support for the return to roots, for the greater good of the common man, etc., etc. It can be done, and done well.
