The more I think about it, the more I think this is the case (not that he's going to pull a Rama, if that's what Barry means, but that he knows he's dying). "Going into silence" and "transition" strike me as code words for what the folks around him know is going to happen very soon. He and they have known it for a while, and that's the reason for the course. Now it's getting closer, which is why the sudden extreme urgency, the free TM-Sidhis course, removing the one-year requirement, letting people fly as much as they want, dropping the country-of-residence restrictions, and so on. Either he/they think it'll be a big negative shock to mass consciousness when he dies, and the course is designed to ease that shock; or he/they assume that (as I think MDixon suggested) as he dies he'll be able to transmit some value of consciousness to the folks at the gathering (Bevan's comment about its being "very lucky" to be at the course at this time seems to support that last idea). Or maybe it's just that if a lot of relatively devoted TMers are all together when he dies, they can support each other in their grief and not go off the deep end. Or a combination of any or all of the above. Whether any or all of the above will actually *happen*, of course, is another question entirely. But the whole tone of the way the course has been promoted, and the setup and requirements and so on, have become increasingly different from previous courses, and I suspect one or more of those notions is what has been behind it. Not to mention his speaking daily to the course participants. That was his "relative" goodbye. I think an awful lot of what he's been doing in the past several years, if not the past decade, has been in preparation for his death.
