It is a one-page agreement form - which says the
 usual stuff - that MGANL have all the rights to teach out MMY Vedic Science incl. Transcendental Meditation, and that all other Agreements signed between TMO and the TM-Teacher counts as well.The Agreement can be cancelled of both parts - both the TM-Teacher and the TMO in Norway (a board where both TM-Teachers and Sidhas can be members)The TM-Teacher is not allowed to talk about how the organisation is runned incl. finances - and promise to be loyal to the organisations goal and how it is runned.These are the main points.Ingegerd>

Well this is obviously a very big problem. Please
bring it to Bevan's attention so he may correct the
situation by tripling the dome fee until we have 100%
compliance with MMY thinking.

I'd guess we're talking 300 to 500 max.  How funny!  No need to guess; It's between 1,000 and 1,100. No, if they had to pay a full course fee. A "freebee" gives you evidence in the opposite direction.This is an interesting point for a couple of reasons. One is that really, truly, M. has to face the music: his movement has moved on. Another way of looking at it: his catalytic effect as being one of the first people to bring the idea of non-sectarian gnosis/jnana to many people, is at it's end phase. Will he cling to the dregs and the money trip or will he go off into seclusion for further realization/catalysis? It will depend where his attachments lie.Nice thing is, this opportunity could give closure for those who also realize the game is up and just need some last contact to end it nicely. Those that cling will remain, like fleas clinging to the Golden Fleece.But make no mistake: this is a watershed moment, this last 'call to coherence'. If M. remains, lingering over his empire, it's clear where the attachments lie. This signals the end of the movement as we knew it. It doesn't take a rishi to see that.

The last TMO course I attended was mainly a high sales pitch for all the

Bingo.	I would really be interested in seeing, though, how many would come to a course they charged for.  And if there was still some discrepancy in the numbers, although it would probably be moot either way since probably so few would  be there.

Some people are getting badges because they feel it would be interesting to see if they’re allowed to get one. The Course Office is pulling all sorts of strange, forgotten old things out of their files and inquiring about them.
