Apparently Barry has never even heard any of MMY's public recordings.
But, on this and other newsgroups all we can really quote with accuracy are MMY published writings and recordings. We should make a rule that only these sources can be quoted in order to prove MMY's position on aspects of the TM program. If it's published we can assume that is the official statement, not what some TM Teacher "thinks" they heard thirty years ago. Barry obviously has a very poor memory, so at least with Barry, almost anything he says could be a big mistake. >From what I've heard, there are supposed to be no TMO tapes in the possession of individual TM Teachers - all belong to the TMO, unless somebody took a cassette tape recorder in to a lecture by MMY and recorded it on their own. Apparently I am the only respondent on this forum that owns copies of MMY's records, tapes, and books. Is that right? And, it seems that there are zero TM Teachers on FFL that are still in good standing with the TMO - all the others got kicked out of the TMO for one reason or another, just like Barry got kicked out. Correct me if I am mistaken about this.
