If you accept that "laws of nature" is a secular term for God, then you must accept that MMY was preaching a personal God because the terms "nature support" and "Maharishi effect" are implying intervention at a fundamental level. Consciousness as Unified Field, the "enlivenment" of which allegedly increases positivity in human affairs, is another term for God. Again, if it was impersonal we wouldn't be able to gain favour just from mental contact. > "Laws of Nature" is still a pretty good secular notion to explain what > many call "God" especially in abstract terms rather than some being that > micromanages your life.

I can't walk through walls because of the repelling action of the nuclear forces that hold electrons away from the nucleus of atoms. Secular or not, I doubt there is anything we can do to change that. And unless any genuine sidhas can step forward.....
