Doug, I was initiated August 22, 1970 at about 3PM. Had my first experience of
Transcendental awareness, no mantra, no thought but inner awareness on the
second day. A Brahman experience of Lesh Avidya about two months later after my
first residence course. Had been sold out since. Went to Amherst Ma. TTC, then
Majorca in '71 through Fuiggi in '72. Total of 9 months for TTC. Went back to
la Antilla in the fall for more rounding, eventually to the second Age of
Enlightenment course. I initiated about 130 people. Took Sidhis much later, in
the late 80's and flying block at the DC course. I'm sold out as to the good TM
can do but feel perturbed as to why the organization isn't a manifestation of
that. The TM forest just isn't very green.

MD, I hear this kind of criticism a lotwhen I talk to people and tell them
how it is going for TM. You seem to putyour finger directly on to something
with this comment of yours thatevidently dogs the TM movement still. Anymore I
categorize it under theheading, 'Ethics as a Leading Economic Indicator'.
Ethics seems aleadership problem that had become cultural and that for the
differentalumni pools of TM proly needs to be directly acknowledged and
spokento as things go forward for TM. There is an evident leadership vacuum on
this.
May be Srijau could speak for theleadership here on their ethics. Srijau seems
to be passionate enough here about TM to represent it. MD, how long do you go
back with TM? You seem to have a longperspective on this that was formative.
When did you first meet Maharishi and/or go on teacher training? Just
wondering. -JaiGuruYou

Srijau, it would be awfully nice and considerate of the whole group if you
would include the post that you are commenting about.
MD writes: I'll take it that this is in regard to one of my posts. Hell no, I
won't give the TMO another dime. I find it like throwing money down a well. Of
all the billions of dollars that the TMO has accrued, what have they
accomplished? I'll tell you, my perception is that they've wasted more than
they have accomplished. The TMO has a severe case of ADHD. It moves from one
failed project toanother at the speed of light without finishing any of them!
However, if they ever stopped lying about what they were going to do with their
money and actually do what they say, others might be more forth coming and
trusting. The best way to promote and perpetuate *m*'s teaching is to put their
money where their mouth is.

you want to fund that then great but I think you just want your contribution
to carping from the sidelines while someone else comes up with the money?
the mandate of GCWP is first and foremost to promote and perpetuate Maharishi
teaching, and raise the collective consciousness in a sustainable way that will
be sure to perpetuate the organization for 10,000 years
