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> Groups are talking.

Well this is obviously a very big problem.

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. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!' YAHOO!

This is a case of offering something great, but too late. People have been burned and disappointed for decades. Many are wary or uninterested by now. In addition, the price of TM and affiliated services like jyotish, yagyas and ayurvedic treatment are rather expensive - not just "something" being charge, but a lot. The effects may be worth the money, but I suspect that people do value and would partake of these services more if they were more affordable.> > > > The last TMO course I attended was mainly a high sales pitch for all the other stuff.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: BREATHTAKING EXPERIENCES!
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.
