Yes, this is the Big Question. Around here, people seem to have answered it in a number of ways: 1. No one I know wants to fiddle with the basic instructions for TM or the TM-Sidhis, so the whole "preservation of knowledge" emphasis is irrelevant. 2. The knowledge of TM is not so special as to deserve special treatment. Making it out to be special has more to do with cult indoctrination than with keeping the barbarians from the gate. 3. The purity will inevitably be lost; creating an orthodoxy to preserve it fails in that mission but succeeds in creating a culture of exclusion, fear and faux superiority. 4. We can maintain the purity of the teaching without becoming Nazis about it. Perhaps others can contribute other answers. I would hope we could hear your answer, Off World. - Patrick Gillam To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
