Actually, in over ten years of being a reader on Yahoo Groups and Google
Grpups, I've never seen any proof that the TMO or MMY ever "promised
anyone enlightenment in 5-7 years." This is a meme that's been posted on
the internet for at least fifteen years without any proof. Maybe Barry
got this phrase mixed up with the World Plan of five years. Go figure.
But, I seriously doubt that MMY ever said such a thing - it's not in any
MMY book, tape, video, or printed quote that I know of. This was never a
promise Jerry Jarvis ever made, fer sure and it's not in any TM intro
lecture that I ever heard. I've got a stack of SIMS literature and
nowhere does it promise anyone enlightenment.
First of all, it would be non-sensical to promise enlightenment to
anyone - there were already people who had been TM meditating for over
five years when the SRM was founded in the USA. And, second according to
MMY, TM is NOT the cause of enlightenment - it simply provides the ideal
opportunity for transcending. You are only going to get as much
enlightenment as you are going to get.
