I was and am still convinced that the TM Technique is the best thing since sliced bread and does, indeed, offer the planet the best solution to its problems. Since I started meditating in '73, I was never 100% convinced that the TMO embodied that vehicle that could carry out the mission, so to speak. In the beginning I naievely assumed that since it was MMY who brought this knowledge out that, hey, he would have created and was running an organisation that reflected the greatness of TM. Over the years that assumption has gone from about 98% full assumption to zero today. I wish I could have plotted-out over the past 33 years how that percentage changed in my mind...maybe something like this (the years are general and not exactly accurate): 1973 98% 1977 80% (flying came out then) 1982 60% (sucking up to dictators; playing around with the scientific studies) 1991 20% (Natural Law Party comes out) 1998 5% (I hear for the first time on a tape from MMY's own lips the accusation that I had been hearing for the past ten years as rumour: that the CIA has infiltrated the TMO) 2004 0% (I start participating in FFL) To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
