I just gave it to you: its out of print and has been since Chopra left the TMO. > > I don't understand, why you connect an adult man's doings and career > choices to what his mother is doing.

During a phone conversation he said "you know my mom, I think..." and I made the connection that I was talking to Muriel Nellis's son. > > Are you in a leading position on the Purusha, or why did you question > the man about his mother's identity? I didn't. He volunteered the information since I had done publicity work for Chopra and had had several phone conversations with the guy's mom since she was Chopra's publicist after Carla Linton-Brown went back to school. > > I found it very odd that, when Chopra left the TMO, one was not > anymore allowed to talk about him.

That was a directive: since Chopra was no longer supporting the TMO, the TMO was no longer going to support him.

Maybe you can help me find out > some of my blind spots? You misread most of what I said. I understand that English is not your native language, but still, you misinterpretted everything to be opposite of what I said. This certainly implies a set of prejudices on your part to not only misunderstand what I said, but to misunderstand it in such a way as to support what you apparently believe. > > I have now answered to your questions.
