Well, the other 'thing' really besides 'funding' people to meditate in the domes would be rescinding the administrative DADT policy for those meditators who would like to join and could join the group meditations in the domes doing TM and the TM-Siddhis. The remedy is quite simple and in the hands of the TMo. They don't have enough people around to just pay anymore. In fact, they need to come to terms with the meditating community if they would really like to have their numbers where they would like them. This is a 20 year problem they have let fester. Their tragedy (the TMo's) is that neither of the theorem #1 or #2 will get close to being tested either way no matter how much the true-believers might wish, if their own old problem of excluding meditators over visiting spiritual healers and other spiritual saints is not simply and directly nullified. They have an old administrative problem that has become cultural which they are going to have to deal with internally to get the meditating community back together in the domes otherwise. It appears that won't happen easily before the Trustees might with strong backbones remove some very large body(s) in the way. God help them. Jai Adi Shankara, -Buck
