A correct reading of my total post showed this was exactly my pt.  BTW
I have set up TM centers in the past and devoted far more of my life
to the goals you like to identify with and talk about.

   There was the push for recertification and Enlightenment
  centers a few yrs ago, but the plans were so wacky that few were
  started and all failed.
 
 Failed by your standards perhaps. But what do you know about the 
 process behind this project ? I'd say nada.  

I know several recerts who were involved in the whole process and
spoke with them regularly from the start of their recert course
through the start of their enlightenment center to its ultimate closing.

The standard I'm using is that there aren't any, they all shut down. 
I've come to realize that the TMO and people like you use some higher
cosmic standard than whether something actually works as planned as a
standard for success, but that's not usually how's its done.

 To operate a local center the local teachers
  need to make a living and that ain't happening.  No one is starting 
 TM
  at the current price and with the current marketing.
 
 And why should TM be available to everybody everywhere right in from 
 the street ? Maharishi said already 25 years ago that no new 
 meditators are necessary. Just look at all the nutjobs on this forum 
 who learned almost for free. No need for any more free-riders.
 
The pt of my post is that the TMO has nothing to do with TM anymore,
which does seem to be clear to many here. No ones talking about
teaching for free, the point is whether there's any teaching at all.  

As far as your loving the high price because it's now attracting high
quality professional meditators to promote the TMO compared to the
lowlifes of the past, I ask you to please name some doctors, lawyers,
scientists etc who have learned TM in the past 15 years who are out
there promoting TM and Maharishi.  I could easily name you over 100 of
these impressive professionals who learned in the 70s who were
excellent public spokespeople for TM at that time.  Right now, there's
...  let's see, David Lynch I guess who doesn't really count since
even he started back when only lowlifes were learning for $125.  

  I feel you determine what any organization is really interested in 
 by
  looking where they invest their money and their energy.
 
 The enlivening of the Ved is TMO's primary task these days.

The raising of money and doing real estate deals are its main tasks.

   The TMO has
  hundreds of millions invested in offshore acc'ts and real estate
  earning interest and capital gains. 
 They do ? Please clarify.

Just look at their public IRS statements, available at a couple
websites that post all non-profit filings, and you'll see the
transfers of money out of the US into jersey island offshore accounts
- over $500 million in the past 6 yrs from those entities I've
identified (US entities with Maharishi in the name), I've not bothered
to look further in the past which takes more effort to find.  Also
look at assets of Maharishi Global Development Fund for most of its
real estate holdings, though it seems to have sold most of its US
hotels and land it bought in the 90s in recent years.

 going.

Then do it in Africa.  But according to Hagelin the Ffld course is
changing the world in historic ways, so why would a group devoted to
these positive changes not want to keep it going?  Why would they see
it as sponsoring the rich, rather than creating world peace, which is
what they say it's doing?

  The land belongs to the VedaLand project.  If VedaLand went bankrupt then 
that 170 million $$ should be returned to the investors.

to be sold for about $170 million, but have no good source on it. 

I'm curious because because Vedaland went bankrupt and all its
investors lost 100% of their investment, but apparently the TMO
actually bought and owns the land in Florida that was to be used for
Vedaland, and they're about to make a killing on it. I'd like to

Note -- MMY was personally involved in a couple of the Vedaland
