Since you've been so gracious as to provide us your assessment of the people who live in Fairfield without having anything to do with what the TM movement has begun, you've kinda opened the field to questions about what YOU have done for the TM movement. So here are a few simple questions about YOUR experience in the TM movement since you started: Here are my answers: 1. How many people have you initiated (*personally* taught to practice the TM technique)? Over 1000. 2. How many introductory lectures have you given? Thousands. 3. Assuming the answer to #2 is greater than zero, how many of those lectures did you pay for yourself (rental of lecture halls, cost of posters, cost of advertising if any, cost for security if required, etc.)? All, for the first year and a half, although it wasn’t out of my pocket, but out of the operating expenses of the center I was running single-handedly. 4. Approximately how many posters have you put up yourself? Thousands. 5. How many times have you dipped into your personal savings to pay the rent on a TM center to keep it open and functioning? Never. 6. How many times have you not *had* any savings to dip into, and lived on rice and dal (dal if you were lucky) because keeping the TM center open and being able to teach TM were more important than eating? It never got that bad. I was always a pretty successful teacher. 7. How many advanced lectures have you given? Even more than I have given intros, and I gave thousands of those. 8. How many residence courses have you taught? Hundreds. I was a regional lecturer for a year and gave a RC every weekend, plus many sidhis prep courses. Also a couple of years of International Staff, years of Purusha, MUM faculty, etc, etc. No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
