Yes it was Shemp. The "tell all" websites indicate that it was, in the past at least, given as the sixth advanced technique. My feelings are mixed about those websites that tell all and am more than a little reticent to go into great detail. I had had 3 advanced techniques at that point and was on the in residence portion of my sidhi program instruction at a large assembly in Washington DC. After asking my CIC administrator if it was OK to receive Chopra's instruction, he paused and contemplated for a good 2-3 minutes then told me yes. I have no idea what the criteria was. At that point all the sutras had been imparted and clear flavors were quite evident. It was interesting to me, years later reading tell all websites, that my next advanced technique was the Age of Enlightenment Technique. The "psycho-physiological" technique had an immediately nice effect and added no time to my program. Glad I did it. Never did ponder long on why it was $700 and advanced techniques were, I believe, $300. Maybe that was Chopra's cut. <grin> I didn't and don't care. Memories are floating back to me of being in High School and having friends ask "if it was worth it" spending $55 for TM.
