I understand Fairfield has a few score people who
qualify as fully enlightened. If that's true, how
many woke up after abandoning TM for something else?
I think there are signs that people are beginning to awaken in FF and
other places and some are just having nice meditative experiences--
common ones which are often mistaken for Enlightenment. But I have
not heard of anyone who meets the criteria of "CC" as Maharishi
Mahesh Yogi described it, so I think your claim of "full
enlightenment" is a tad premature. In many ways it seems a typical
neoadvaita scene.
It seems many of these people did begin to have good experiences
after leaving the movement, some with other meditation techniques,
some remaining with TM and/or the TMSP.
