It's most likely true that the TMO have a lot of demand at the moment, they have a great PR team and loads of celebrities saying they do it and like it. Everyone likes celeb's, look at what the Beatles did for the TMO, now they've got Russell Brand, how can they fail! On the other hand, why should we or anyone else *believe* these stories about the numbers of people learning TM? It's NOT as if they have a track record for telling the truth. Or has everyone forgotten the lame attempt to co-opt some Mayan prophecy by claiming in press releases that they had gathered a group of "10,000 Mayans" practicing the TMSP? Then they published an actual photo of the "event" that showed at most 200 to 300 people. The TM movement lies all the time. Why should anyone believe anything their fanatical True Believers claim now? Also, regarding this latest "low cost" attempt to create new TM teachers, does anyone remember the *last* time the TM movement promised teachers "full time work?" The teachers had to quit their existing jobs and commit to working for the TMO full-time, and were guaranteed a livable salary. No one ever got paid, and the whole scam was abandoned within a few months and never mentioned again. My suspicion is that this is exactly what is going to happen to the poor schmucks who believe the sales spiel and take out loans for this course, believing that the loans will be "written off" after a couple of years of teaching full-time. There won't be any *need* for their teaching, and they -- who are after all the ones who signed the loan papers -- will be stuck having to repay them.
