Doug, I have no idea what you're talking about. The last two lines explains nothing about the nature of TM culture. If you're trying to make a case that "never entertain negativity" is a plot to control TMers so that the TMO can get away with ruthless crime and abuse, you're making a conspiratorial mountain out of a mole hill. > I too am thinking this showed up later in the 19What culture of dictators are > you talking about? 70's.

Bevan, Neil Patterson and the Wilsons displaced and took over the reins from elders of the kinder-more-gentler old movement around then and this version of Saha nav recited even by real TB'ers today makes for a clear way of dealing with communication that is not essentially 'top-down'.
