It will accomplish the opposite. Any TM gov reading these pleas will conclude you are a bunch of whining, ungrateful, unstressers. They will think that all that Marshy did for you is being undermined by a bunch of selfish, daydreamers who don't know when they are onto a good thing. The *best* thing. And worse that you are happy to insist that everybody who sticks to programme rules has to put up with you bringing in new techniques or your own confused consciousness into the purity of the domes. Get real guys. You either want to be in the TMO or you don't, you can't make your own rules up about what goes on in Marshy's house, especially if it's going to annoy other people who are already inside. Bevan and co are the devoted protectors of what Marshy taught them, why should they drop their and the guru's standards just to please you? In the UK, if you want to join the community in Skelmersdale you have to watch a tape where the head of the UK movement states as clearly as possible that they are quite happy for people to experiment with other techniques or see other teachers, just don't do it there. I agree with it, decide which boat you are in or you'll end up trying to go in two directions at once. Which never works. The TMO is a dictatorship, it isn't a democracy as it's considered that you are too unenlightened to make good decisions about things like this, *especially* when rounding. The idea is that Marshy has done all the thinking and made all the decisions for you so you can relax and get on with your evolution in peace. Easy huh?
