I agree. TM as we know it, AKA the SIMS days, the way it was taught, its image,etc are dead. What I am postulating is that a new, classy TM, with world class research, nice SV teaching centers, glowing classy teachers dripping with ojas, may be attractive to those making over $300-400,000 a year, in 10 years or so. Or some other program will fill the "need". At the same prices. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
