This may sound like a kooky idea but, hey, nothing would surprise me in the least when it comes to the TMO: May I suggest that the very first thing that TM teachers teaching outside the movement should do who want to teach AND maintain the purity of the TM teaching is to approach MMY, tell him what they are doing, and ask his advice on what they can do to maintain the purity of the teaching. Remember that MMY himself said in a recent press conference that (and I paraphrase) that there was still some value in learning TM from people teaching it outside the movement. You know, MMY loves to oversee all the little details of everything and he loves to micro-manage organisations...perhaps he wouldn't be able to pass up the opportunity to micro-manage an organisation that Ex-TM Teachers sought to set up...
