As it turns out, 'Administratively' what was my current badge to be in the Dome meditation and also go to our movement meetings expired yesterday. I had been re-admitted the Dome meditation sometime ago on an exemption to the TM anti-saint policies in a process conducted then by John Hagelin, an exemption which read that I was, 1. free to see saints for reasons of my health and 2. be in the Dome program so long as I was not practicing other spiritual practices in the Dome. Simple. Administratively they let my badge go fallow yesterday. I am no longer valid in the TM community with the passing of the last day of February. I had reapplied to update my badge sticker about 5 weeks ago and was told it normally does not take long and they would get back to me by phone or e-mail. Effectively I am now a TM movement no-badge-nik. Reduced in rank again, to just 'meditator' in Fairfield, Iowa, JaiGuruDev, -Buck

For some time at least, people seeing other Guru's or Ma's , where punished by withdrawing their dome badges, and Buck has been ranting about these restrictive policies for ages. Now all these Indian gurus are having this harmonic get together, as if they are just friends. Maybe it's an old thing, and it's not an issue anymore, and that would be a good thing. Otherwise, show the photo. I'd like to know how much of an issue it is still. I bet TM teachers are still taught to be fiercely protective of the "knowledge" lest it gets diluted by contact with inferior memes.
