Despite the consistent disappointments delivered to TMers via the TMO
(MMY), I think
that MMY and his organization have accomplished a great deal in their 50 year
history.
Many, many thousands of persons have contributed to the achievements, from TM
teachers, TMO institution staff, and regular CPs who chose to spend their time
and
resources on TMO courses rather than on some secular activity that would not
have
accrued benefit to the TMO.- Overall, a collective effort of tremendous
aggregate value
has been placed into the TMO.
Many talented individuals who contributed much to MMY and the TMO have
found
they're not needed any longer by MMY and the TMO, much like any other
organization that
experiences defections when the individual's needs don't match the
organization's needs
for full commitment to the organization's direction.
FFLife displays a stream of criticism directed against MMY and the TMO. I
reflect on
the criticism, and often concur that I, too, might do things differently than
MMY and the
TMO have decided. Yet, I reserve overt verbal judgement against MMY and the
TMO as I
ponder whether I really would do differently were I in their shoes. I think
about the ways
of the world, about MMYs legendary negotiating moves, etc. yet appreciate his
dogged
insistence to achieve the better result to advance his organization's
interests.
Of course, it would be wonderful if MMY and the TMO were beyond
reproach by any
measure. The world is a huge system that demands proof of the validity of any
idea or
proposal before embracing the idea or proposal. MMY and the TMO are constantly
having
to validate their ideas and proposals to a highly skeptical world. I find
scant evidence of
others' efforts doing anywhere nearly as well as MMY and the TMO in trying to
do the
greatest good possible with what they have had to offer.
So go ahead, continue with critique of every possible aspect of MMY and
the TMO.
Oh, and by the way, would you mind contrasting their foibles by occasionally
providing
evidence of your own outstanding accomplishments in providing what you have to
offer
the world for the greatest good possible ?
