I can certainly empathize with Chopra vis a vis his own programs and whether or not the Movement -- and the Upper Snots -- acted like pricks with him, which they probably did. And I have no problem with Chopra promoting, selling and making oodles of cash off of those programs. I do have a problem with him creating and then selling his own brand of TM which from all appearances he has done, particularly since I have seen a quote from him at the time he left the movement that he had no interest in doing so. I wish I could find the quote and reproduce it here. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
