If it's current TMO ...who knows JohnY I have long held that independent teaching organizations should license various chunks of the knowledge from the TMO, pay fees for the license, and manage the business side independly of the TMO. That then could evolve to the teaching org(s) putting out RFPS (Request for Proposals -- the standard way of soliciting bids for a project or consulting services) and let TMO, AOl(SSRS), Amma, Ganga-ji, etc. all bid to be license providers for the independent teaching orgs. That is, the knowledge providers (KP) supply trained teachers. And the KPs are paid a fee per student taught. With some monthly or annual minumum guaranteed. The teaching org could seek bids for teachers and facilitators of initial meditation, advance meditation, residence course teachers, hatha yoga teachers, jyotishees, AV techs, pundits, etc. The teaching orgs would provide all financing, facilites, promotion, back office, and follow-up. Then yoga could kick ass in America! And Heaven on Earth would really dawn. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.

The Ann Arbor News Packed crowd hears David Lynch Filmmaker shares zeal for transcendental meditation Monday, September 26, 2005 BY JENN MCKEE News Arts Writer http://www.mlive.com/entertainment/aanews/index.ssf?/base/features-0/1127745609242440.xmlcoll=2 If you arrived on time to see filmmaker David Lynch talk about transcendental meditation last night at the Power Center, you were already too late. The venue was packed to capacity. .. Nice, refreshing article not written by TMO PR staff. Brings back memories of the 60's. In 1968, we got a front page headline Jarvis to Speak Tonight on TM with a large beaming picture of MMY, written by non-meditators reporters, but in an excitedly semi-gushing tone. Yahoo!

A few blockbuster, well reviewed films, the fund raising influence of a top director (that is, his new status if he has several high grossing critically acclaimed films) could do it. Speilberg could I think. Lynch could evolve to Spielberg status and accomplishment. Or higher. Its feasible. Add Heather Graham and others if their careers took off, a new Mitch Kapor who stays with the program, some Google early employees with lots of stock who get enthralled, throw in an Indian entrepreneur and film star or two, some heavy foundation co-matching of funds -- and its feasible.
