Why shoot the messenger? The TMO is not responsible for my personal experiences of significant benefits gained from the practice of TM. If my own direct experience has been positive, why should I judge the results I've had any differently just because a small select group behaves in ways I don't like?
The TMO has one major responsibility: to protect the purity of the teachings. If they seem fundamentalistic or underdeveloped, it is none of our business because the TMO is a force of nature set into motion by Maharishi, intended for this purpose, and that purpose is greater than any of us can fully appreciate. But just like us as individuals, the individuals in it are imperfect; they and the organization must evolve just as we do. > "how anyone can continue to praise TM while seeing and experiencing the > behavior of the TMO people is beyond me". > >
