I think one should also consider that when you are taught a method like Vipassana, for example, for ten strict days in a boundaried retreat setting, being given a wealth of methods to counter all the obstacles that can and are known to arise--one doesn't need "checking", merely practicing what they already learned. If you have been orally given the full drivers manual why would you need to rely on a driving school? Thus the puzzlement. If you were really taught to be an independent and actual "realizer" the idea of relying on externals (an org--i.e. the TMO) is offensive. That which realizes is independent of all structures. Period. Who checks? You check...based on what you know...no insitutional checking needed, just personal will and individual insight. Institutions or "schools" = imposed structure = slavery = non-freedom. YOU are what matters and YOU decide what that means... Scientologists take note....
