Well, this post (not quoted because it's complex HTML) from George pretty much clears up any confusion about *who* is going to be paying the 500 bucks a month (if it's ever paid):
> "In thinking what he himself could do, > Maharishi said he will ask the wealthy > of America to support Fairfield Yogic > Flyers with scholarships of $500 per month." I don't know about you, but I'm truly touched. The guy who runs an organization that has assets valued in the billions of dollars is so worried about the state of the world that he sits down and asks himself, "What can I do?" And the answer he comes up with is, "Why, I can ask other people to pay so that these 2000 yogic flyers can do what I want them to do." It doesn't ever seem to occur to him that a much simpler answer to "What can I do?" is "PAY FOR IT MYSELF." Let's do the math together. He wants 2000 people flying in Fairfield. Let's assume that at this point his credi- bility is so low that in order to get them to do this he'd have to pay *all* 2000 of them to do it. Let's further assume that he can find 2000 people stupid enough to do this for 500 bucks a month. 2000 * 500. That would come to one million dollars a month, twelve million bucks a year. For a guy whose personal assets have been estimated at a *minimum* of 2 billion dollars, that means that the answer to "What can I do?" is "I could pay for this program myself for a year for less than one-tenth of the INTEREST I earn on 2 billion dollars." And yet the only answer *he* can come up with to the question of "What can I do?" is "Demand that other people pay for my ideas. Again." So I ask you -- is THIS the "creative intelligence" that decades of meditation creates in one of its practitioners?
