Yes, time is very limited for the TMO. They would also need to change other things. If they want to bring in new and somewhat normal younger people to the practice of TM, I think they would have to do away with the whole raja and crowns thing as well. Also the expensive pricing of some courses. These folks have been locked in the unreal world of TM culture for so long, they don't really know how these policies and practices come across. > > > > This "oversight," combined with a present-day policy > > that says and enforces just that, could probably be > > seen as constituting fraud on the part of the TMO.
