asking these questions of, not Michael, but it has never made it to email for 
some reason. Yahoo sucketh.

It was me Barry, and I will speak generally since I do wish to stay somewhat 
anonymous.  But in my area, a teacher has come and generated activity that 
hasn't been seen in some time.  As far as initiations, we are talking on the 
order of maybe 20/month. And this is in addition to activity that had already 
been taking place.  As far as that activity, (original activity), I have no 
idea.
Fee structure has come down to below $1,000.00, and can be paid in 
installments. The new activity I'm referring to has nothing to do with DLF.

The extent of the "upsell" has to do with Residence Courses.

You see some people (old mediators) coming out the woodwork attending advanced 
lectures, and making referrals. And you see some new outreach having results.

Can you expand upon this, Michael? 


- Where do you get your information from about the numbers of people starting 
TM?

- What kind of numbers are you talking about? 10s? 100s? 1000s?

- Where is this supposedly happening -- among people from the general public 
learning TM, or as part of some program offered by the DLF and thus subsidized 
by donations?


- Please expand
upon the "fee structure" you mention. What do you believe it costs to learn TM 
these days, and where can we check this?

Thanks. 


As I've said many times, I would have few problems with the basic TM technique, 
as long as it was advertised and presented as what it is -- a simple, easily 
learned technique of sitting meditation, no better than any other -- and 
offered at a fair price. 


It's the decades of "baggage" that "comes with" TM and the attempt to "upsell" 
everyone to buy other TM-related products that I can't support.

Actually Michael,
You might be surprised to know that more people are learning TM than you might 
have expected.  The fee structure has changed, and more people are signing up.  


I was surprised myself actually, but I have first hand knowledge of this.
