I made the mistake of buying into the vision of a universal technique, one that everyone on the planet could do, notwithstanding what religion, philosophy, guru or lack of guru they may have. How universal can something be if the privileged few --whether millionnaires or those that happen to be on international staff -- get to have access to special instructions. This used to bug me even more when I was active in the Movement and I would hear stories of how MMY told this person to do that and that person to do this. But your advice above is good and I shouldn't care what MMY does or says...as I myself often say on this forum: the technique still works regardless of the TMO or MMY's words or actions. I should practise what I preach. > ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
