I'm sure there are TM teachers and meditators out there who would like to find a solution to the new movement and it's approach. I think TM is going to loose credibility if we don't try to keep it alive somehow.
I remember a course in 1970, Maharishi responding to a large group of us, mostly college age. The subject was "change the world - make it better". Maharishi appeared to have his hands full and I know some would have preferred a radical solution to the problems in the world. Everyone could agree on one thing - things must change. Someone asked, "Why not just invent a new way?" and Maharishi replied with a seemingly oversimplified solution: "Don't change the traditions, just fix the old ones". Given the time and the theme of that course, fix the traditions did not mean become a raja and have people bow down to you. Did anyone ever suspect it would come to this? I'm not enlightened, I'm not an expert in vedic literature and my goals in writing are simple. Many of us came on board after learning TM. Some became teachers, moved to Fairfield, changed directions. Some are obviously bitter, want to attack what resembles the TMO logic, and for me, that's fine. Go ahead, get it out of your system. But I think that eventually FFL can provide us with a playing field for creating something concrete.
