The only non-conformists in the Age of E will be the unenlightened and they
will be all together in a colony, probably on Devil's Island.

Why do non-comformists have to worry about teh Age of Enlightenment and why
would TM teachers be worried about it?
Because the AofE - as far as the TMO teaches it - is going to be a full
expression of what Marshy wanted the TMO to be. A certain amount of conformity
is expected when you work in the organisation (or frequent it's courses and
programmes) So if you don't fit in you have no place in it. You will have how
things are supposed to be explained to you and if you question it too much
you'll be shown the door. The idea is that because Marshy was "in absolute"
everything he said and wanted was perfect because it was in tune with "natural
law", therefore if you disagree you are contradicting him.
I had some great arguments about it, and saw some hilarious slack jaws when
offering my opinions about all sorts of stuff. In my defence I'd say that in
the intro talk I was told that TM was something you could do without changing
your beliefs, so I held them to it. They didn't like that. The assumption is
that as you grow in experience and hear more about the "knowledge" you will
naturally accept it as true and for the reasons outlined above - Marshy said
so.
I mean, what is wrong with being an enlightened non-conformist?
No such thing according to the reesh. See above. I mean, of course there is
really what I'm talking about is how cults like their people to conform. I
would say that going along with a belief system you don't agree with is going
to hold you back no matter what you are trying to acheive.

I'd have thought he'd be perfect, they could show how effective their

It's always telling when people get thrown out of utopian cults. I used to ask
TM teachers where the non-conformists would go in the age of enlightenment and
they'd just look blank like they hadn't really thought it through. After all,
if you can guarantee perfection for people because of an innocent technique and
that technique doesn't work for some or it turns out that there's more to being
a member of the gang than an innocent technique then you've clearly been lying
about something.
Seems to me that every utopian group attracts the sort of people it needs to
function as a closed order and anyone who rocks the boat needs to be thrown out
to keep everyone else happy in the delusion that the perfect society they'e
created would work when scaled up to greater society. It wouldn't of course,
but the feeling of superiority the cultists get from "knowing" they have the
answer because their group functions perfectly is a powerful trip and worth the
occasional casualty....
