The TMO in Norway tried to make a lot of fuss about that I teach people outside the TMO, with threats and Lawyers and everything. One day I received a message on my answering machine from the International TMO in Holland, they wanted to talk to me. I send them an e-mail and said "don't talk to me, talk to my Lawyer", and gave them his name and phonenumber. I did not hear anything more. The TMO used every dirty means to try to stop me, using old TM- Teachers, they spread lies about me to Sidhas etc. They mentioned me on WPAs as a very bad example because I let MMY down. It was really an interesting process. I think that is an experience many Independent TM-Teachers had, and that is one reason that many TM- Teachers initiate in secret, and do not go out openly.
