Not necessarily tue that people don't value things unless you charge. This is a case of offering something great, but too late. People have been burned and disappointed for decades. Many are wary or uninterested by now. In addition, the price of TM and affiliated services like jyotish, yagyas and ayurvedic treatment are rather expensive - not just "something" being charge, but a lot. The effects may be worth the money, but I suspect that people do value and would partake of these services more if they were more affordable. > > > > > > On Aug 2, 2006, at 10:13 PM, George DeForest wrote: > > > > > However, when Maharishi heard that the number of Yogic Flyers in the > > > Domes and in Maharishi Vedic City is holding at around 1000 to 1100 -- > > > far below the 1700 who have registered and arrived for the Course in > > > Fairfield / MVC, Maharishi expressed concern. > > > To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
