Yeah, Nabby, I heard that MMY, in the late 70s, with a certain spring in his step and enthusiasm in his voice related to the 'progress' six-month course participants were having with the TMSP, said that the world had enough meditators to fulfill the 'age of enlightenment' goals of his organization, presumably because of the extra life-supporting atmospheric effects of the Sidhis versus simple TM practice. The difference between you and me is that I didn't believe he was telling it like he really saw it at the time, and you still believe it 30+years later. And that was because initiations had tanked in the late 70's, after the siddhis made such a weird impression on the public and various prominent supporters of the movement. I'm sure MMY would have loved to have high initiations continue, but since they hadn't, he was putting a good face on the situation.
