I don't think it's all that unlikely that the CIA *did* have an interest in the TMO at one point, given the CIA's documented fascination with things like remote viewing as a means of defense. My guess is--and it's just a guess--that there may have been a few CIA agents who attempted to infiltrate the TM-Siddhis course to see whether MMY had actually discovered anything that could be useful militarily. Given the belief in certain quarters of the CIA that such paranormal feats were possible, it would have been irresponsible for them *not* to investigate, to keep these abilities, if they existed, out of the hands of the enemy. (This was at the height of the Cold War, and the Soviets were known to be experimenting with paranormal stuff as well.) If that's what happpened, the CIA most likely lost interest very quickly; but if MMY had somehow picked up on them at the time, it might have been the genesis of his paranoia with regard to the CIA, although he would have misinterpreted its motivation. Others have suggested that the CIA might have thought the TMO, with its international network, could be a front for communist spying on the U.S., which seems to me less plausible but not out of the question. ------------------------ Yahoo!
