He hasn't said, at least not on FFL. (And he's not an "absolute" True Believer, or he wouldn't suggest the possibility that Maharishi wouldn't triumph after all.) > My guess is cognitive dissonance will have set in and we'd > get lectures on phase transitions being rougher than expected > or that the new age is already here (can't you feel it!)and > then loads of posts featuring arrows drawn round targets like > the raja Peter crime rate stuff yesterday. Michael doesn't go in for the research stuff, actually. I'd guess that he'd point to the lack of sufficiently large, permanent groups of TM-Sidhis practitioners that Maharishi had always said were required. If you read the post, Michael said: "...If you want to be sure that your work in bringing about that change of age is going to last - then you must set up a situation where the long-long-long-term stability of those groups is guaranteed. Because you can't mess with world consciousness, you can't have that kind of powerful group existing and then disappear- ing, without causing huge disruptions - potentially devastating to the world (nuclear, biological, financial melt-down, natural disasters, etc.)."
