You need to be aware of the fact that for the most part, we are dealing with TM Teachers on this forum, Dan, and it is by their training to be very secretive about all their activities that are TM-related. One of the moderators' brother is a TM Raja, but he won't talk much about it or answer any questions about what happened to all the money. Can you believe that? There are only a few rank-and-file TMers on this list. But, apparently there are over a dozen or more simple lurkers. Go figure. In fact, you could characterize this forum as a site for TMO informants, who are supposed to be doing the informing, with news about the comings-and-goings of MMY, but he's dead, so in reality, most of the dialog is just mostly speculation about what's going on with the TM Movement, or what houses are for sale up in Vedic City. It's been my experience that only insiders know what's going on in the TMO - and none are respondents on this forum. You're not going to get very much discussion about the 'mechanics of consciousness' here, Dan, except for maybe Lawson or Judy. > Your other 4 paragraphs devolve further.
