He chose the latter, and there is a possibility that not only is the price different, but other compromises may have been made when Farrokh "adapted" TM into his program: "The Transcendental Stress Management program is an adaptation of the Transcendental Meditation program for rehabilitation and criminal justice reform." http://enlightenedsentencing.org/about-us.htm The judge that is supposedly the head of this Transcendental Stress Mgmt program is not a TM teacher, so it's unlikely that all the TM guidelines are being followed. The TMO invited the judges to the conference to try to talk them into abandoning their effort, most likely, but that's probably not going to work. Farrokh was not invited because the TMO probably saw him as being irretrievably off track because he told the judges how to teach imitation TM. ------------------------ Yahoo!
