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.
What I was thinking too. What if there are only 3 TM teachers in NYC?
Teaching people beej mantras doesn't take much. Other organizations
teach meditation at far less a price and it probably didn't cost the
teacher $16K to learn. At best maybe $5K and at that they learn far
more than a TM teacher learns and can give more powerful techniques.
"Seven Steps" is a child of mid 20th century. You don't need that
nowadays. A weekend session would suffice, which is what other
organizations often do.
