But the logic is based on fear (the irrational, and taught-to- them fear that the eternal can be corrupted by the ephemeral) and ego (the quickly-learned belief that stopping this "corruption" is in our control and that we are important enough to have been entrusted with the task). Everything you are talking about here, Off, is *learned behavior*, not some eternal grand truth. You were TAUGHT that the know- ledge of TM and of enlightenment was so fragile that it had to be protected with eternal vigilance from what could be "inter- jected" into it and what could "happen to it" over time. You were TAUGHT that unethical acts are permissible when performing this "protection." You were TAUGHT to look the other way when these things happen, and never to complain when the people who are "protecting" this oh-so-precious and oh-so-vulnerable knowledge demean it through their lies and actions. What if none of it is true, and the only thing you're "protecting" is an eternal technique which has never been lost and never "corrupted" because it cannot possibly be? And, of course, an immensely profitible monopoly, and the self important egos of those who run it?
