Your post does in fact confirm my later impression that yours is a lone battle.
That’s bias not confirmation. You have entered this thread with bias.

On the contrary, I began the thread mistakenly assuming that there were significant numbers of disaffected Canadian Goenkaists working in alliance with you. This has now been disconfirmed. Had I at the outset been aware of the bleak solitariness of your struggle, I would never have troubled you by starting such a thread. My apologies for any inconvenience.

Madam, if you feel we/I am righteous then you are part of this remnant group. Buddha started as one then a few grasped his teachings and then a few more. Moral righteousness is in essence purity. No matter if one or a large group.
Remember the story of Sayaghi U Bha Khin when war time and he was in charge of accounting for the money.
He could have easily slacked his duty and this would have been accepted at his position without consequence. But he had to be 100% accountable even in inconvenient times.
This is merely inconvenient times of fear and panic. Let the others lose their equiminity and behave immorally, segregating others in fear based paranoia. I will simply apply pressure to keep them in this fear based trap until they can see their way out. Even as we move into the economic portion of this fear based breakdown, I will hold them to their segratory choices. They are already experiencing a great deal of fear based dis-ease, this cancer will rot them from the core.

This present from you has been returned. It is with you. It is yours. You then nurture a tendency to multiply it. It is to your benefit to realise the foolishness of this. Let the good shame wash away the delusions. Relax…

What reasons do you have to think that this strategy will work out as you intend?
Western Buddhism is the perfect ideological supplement to rabid consumerist capitalism.

Well, if they remove their stringent safety protocols then I will attend for service. Then from a position inside I can work to destroy it.
I can work in multiple ways, there is no certainty other than the centres eventually will collapse.

You didn't asnwer my question.

Why do you think that the people at the Goenka center will allow themselves to be changed by you (you using the strategy you outline above)?

I didn’t say change the people, I mention destruction from within. Sabotage the centre.
