Courage would mean Lynch confronts MMY and pleads with him to stop all the bullshit that has been going on in the TMO for the last 30 years and to stick to promoting the TM Program. No more political parties, pontificating on politics, paranoid ramblings about the CIA infiltrating the TMO, setting up your relatives in India with access to multi-million dollar bank accounts, and all those trappings of the Hindu religion (Vastu, yagyas, vedic peanut butter cups, etc.) Lynch didn't do that; rather he is encouraging and enabling more of the same by sharing the same stage with nutjobs like Rajah Kohoutek Emannuelle. He encouraged the slow death of the TMO by participating in the NLP campaigns (he actually shot and directed a commercial for Hagelin). This is not courage but complacency. This is not courage but enabling. Like most in the TMO, he sold his soul for a few shekels of darshan. > After tiptoeing through the elephants of bizaar narcissim that characterizes the TMO today > ( and that brought the TMO to the brink of irrelevance and obscurity ) he courageously is > dragging the TMO from its delusional cloud of self-reassurance to meet the 21st century's > need for TM.
