Standing like Constitutional Original-ists, the faith-in-Maharishi religionist TM'ers inside TM at the top for decades have contended and winnowed things down fundamentally in their own minds that, “Fairfield is for those who have 'faith and belief' in Maharishi and everyone else should leave us alone”. That wish, that people without 'faith-and-belief' should leave, would have to be taken apart and looked at to see how it has actually gone down. A lot of meditators have come and left and some lot of meditators have stayed on for their own good reasons. Clearly the Dome group meditation numbers are really tiny. Donations to the University and undergraduate enrollment tight. Has Bevan gotten his wish? That those who do not have 'faith-and-belief in Maharishi', “..should leave and leave us alone”? “Be careful what you wish for in this world, for if you wish hard enough you are sure to get it. I once heard a very wise many say this, and the longer I live the more firmly I believe it to be true.” The Atlantic monthly, Volume 67. 1891. http://jamie.workingagenda.com/blog/2010/06/12/who-said-be-careful-what-you-wish-for/

The difference evidently is that though there are a lot of opinions and feelings about how it should go for TM and many have their many firm 'Maharishi-saids', there evidently is not 'written' preamble, constitution guiding or bylaws governing TM that people easily share. Everyone seems to have their own lists of 'Maharishi-Saids' to stand on separately. “..And he continued to be its (Originalism's) foremost exponent. From being a sort of a fringe movement 30 or 40 years ago, it is now major league, perhaps the dominant philosophy — or was a dominant philosophy with his vote — on the Supreme court.” -This would be Bevan in the TM community?
