Sal were you still living in a Movement facility when you stopped TMSP or had you already left the place?

Some thing evidently is going on with some tightening of Dome badge renewals in Fairfield. An old meditator/TM teacher whohas long been a regular attender of the group meditation in the Domeswho I know from Fairfield Quaker Meeting is beingturned out and cast off from his long communal affiliation with TM as the result. Meanwhile the Dome meditation numbers arethemselves left spare. As it turns out, my current badge to be in the Dome meditation and also go toour movement meetings expired yesterday. I had been re-admitted the Domemeditation three years ago on an exemption to the TM anti-saint policiesin a process conducted then by John Hagelin, an exemption which readthat I was, 1. Free to see saints for reasons of my health and 2. Bein the Dome program so long as I was not practicing other spiritualpractices in the Dome. Simple. Administratively now they let my badge gofallow yesterday. I am no longer valid in the TM community with thepassing of the last day of February. I had re-applied to update mybadge sticker about 5 weeks ago and was told it normally does nottake 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' inFairfield, Iowa, Never mind Buck, make the most of it and go on holiday. Or use the time to really get involved in something else of a spiritual nature. If you're like me you'll find that doing hours of prog each day is a waste of time and TM 20X20 is more than enough to coast you through the day. In fact, it's way more effortless than the trudge to the dome to sit around hoping for a breakthrough to make it all worthwhile. And to be totally honest, I was much happier when I stopped the TMSP because after 10 years of practise I realised it's a lot of effort for nothing much and it made me feel worse then vanilla TM but I was just programmed to tell myself that "something good was happeneing". Quitting the programming to stop doing it is tough though because of the subliminal guilt they pile on but the freedom you get from having more time in your day more than makes up for that. Most of the effects of the TMSP are hopes and beliefs about what it is doing to you, not experiences and especially not experiences of what it's supposed to be achieving for you. Medatation is about freedom and, it looks like the TMO has given you yours. Fly away and pray you don't end up like the dome nazis. They aren't worth your time.

I bet TM teachers are still taught to be fiercely protective of the "knowledge" lest it gets diluted by contact with inferior memes.
