There's always that danger, of course. But that goes back to the issue of purity of teaching vs creativity (or tolerance). I'd like to point out that by 1985, on the sidhis course, the thought police were far more circumspect than they were before. They had the course participants elect a course leader from their own ranks who acted as the go-between between the Sidhis Administrators and the students. If there was a minor problem of "off the programness," it was this course leader's job to discuss it with the students, not the Administrator's. Ours would approach us with "you're not going to believe this but I've been asked to talk to you guys about cooling it with flirting with them women [or whatever]..." The dynamics were definitely different than what you describe. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
