I have initiated quite a few people, when it was difficult to do so. Sent many to the siddhis, a dozen to TTC, taught SCI, done radio and TV for TM and ran a TM center for quite a few years, many of those out of my own pocket when everyone else flew the coup. My accomplishments as far as the TMO are concerned speak for themselves. And I post in my own name.... JohnY ------------------------ Yahoo!
