And he was right.
It's fairly well known that MMY spent several yrs developing the sidhis program by experimenting on a small group of guys - rick knows all the names I think. One of the main things I learnt thru email with one of these guys is that MMY was indeed experimenting, he didn't cognize these techniques, but went thru a lot of trial and error and frustration with the slow pace of results. At a certain pt the experimentation broadened to include the early 6 month courses in europe. It seems that flying in groups on these courses is what finally and surprisingly got the energy going and some concrete "results". There's good evidence that Jerry and Charlie L both encouraged MMY to not be so aggressive in marketing these techniques for safety reasons - lots of breakdowns on those early coursees. Charlie said publicly many times MMY did it due to financial stress the mov't was in at that time (after the Merv waves had ended so suddenly but the mov't had made financial commitments as if the high level of initiations were going to last). MMY apparently told the small group that americans always want "new and improved" and so he had to come out with something other than tm to keep them interested. ------------------------ Yahoo!
