Evidently back as Maharishi made his decision to raise the price of learning TM then initiations of new meditators dropped off precipitously. Furloughed by effect in this some numbers of old ™ teachers kept on with initiating new meditators as old prices worked out. In Vlodrop this was brought to Maharishi’s attention. As this became apparent that some numbers of ™ teachers were continuing on with teaching ™ under old pricing he responded calling these old ™ teachers of his ‘scorpions’ and Brits ‘scorpion nation’. It was a developed bit of a rant to a point of urging TM people to leave Britain.
A similar thing happened with a collapse in initiations of new meditators in France and other countries where ™ teachers continued trying on with the propagation of meditation. Triggering of wider reactionary separations, disownments of old ™ teachers, legal disputes, and then some long decades of a missing of or the skipping over of the millennial generations in which ™ was not taught so much at all to new meditators. It is a backstory to the present. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <he...@hotmail.com> wrote : Why did Maharishi start to call UK Scorpionland, or something like that?
