Sal,
I am sincerely sorry for the pain that must have cost you. The fact
that it may have saved you a huge mind F was no consolation for you
back then.
I went through a similar thing myself when my sidhaland ran out of
money to send me to TTC after 3 years labor, but made it look like I
was rejected. It was only explained to me years later by one of the
directors. It broke my heart in many pieces, so I think I know how
you might have felt. I am sure the reason we participated in hurting
your feelings was because you showed some version of not being
controlled by the movement policies. That was the most important
criteria that I remember. Of course now I realize that this was a
sign of a person being a more developed human being outside of their
movement identity.
In running the DC center I was tyrannized by all of the National
organization, who all lived close by, and who could cut your out of
your future with a pen stroke. I was more than willing to toe the
line. I had been elected to the position by 300 TM teachers in the
area whose eyes were on me with various agendas. It was a razor's
edge to walk that line.
If a person was not following the TM rules, I would have tried to
handle it myself rather than report it. Usually we would get a few
teachers together and talk with the person from our high horses of
virtue. I can't remember ever reporting anyone to National, but I
certainly wouldn't put it past me then. I wanted to do the "right"
thing in the worst possible way. We had some written instructions for
holding the TTC and Sidha application meetings. I can't remember the
details.
Thanks for telling me. Please accept my apology.
