I heard from a govenor back in 1996 while on a walk along the Mediteranian Coast in Israel, that Chopra had gone to MMY and asked his opinion on starting an organization in San Diego, California. According to this govenor, MMY was against the whole idea and discouraged him from going ahead with it. Chopra reported this to his business partner who was going to finance the operation and the partner got pissed off and gave Chopra a time limit to decide. So Chopra decided and went off on his own. He wasn't kicked out of the TMO. This was his personal decision.
