I still hope Rick will answer, but he may not have even read the post to begin with - he is busy w BATGAP.

Was there a noticeable effect? Did the fighting or unrest calm or stop? I am a relative newcomer here so if you have addressed this it was before my time. It was a complete success; the Islamic revolution was postponed and consequently Saddam Hussein never achieved power in Iraq to combat the Ayatollah. The Russians never invaded Afghanistan and the Taliban never evolved to control the chaotic aftermath. Al-Queda never formed out of the Mujaheed's returning home, so there was no 9/11 or it's hopeless retaliations, and so ISIS never had such a vulnerable and depressed playground to create their nightmares in. Israel then gave the right of return to the Palestinians and the middle east entered a new era of peace and hope. That's what I would expect to have happened if the Constitution of the Universe actually was influenced by human consciousness. As it is we are left with a few highly dubious claims about the Berlin wall ans apartheid and an unconvincing statistical paper produced during Israel's 1980 "war" in Lebanon, one of the most vicious periods post WW2, so nasty in fact that veteran war photographer Don McCullin went into retirement having lost all faith in humanity. He doesn't mention the Marshy Effect in his autobiography... ________________________________ From: "'Rick Archer' rick@...

I think it’s an interesting theory. I think consciousness is a field. I’ve been in groups as large as 8,000 meditating, and the effect was palpable. I think the movement bends over backwards to try to get sometimes dubious research to validate their theories, but even if the research isn’t as rigorous as might be hoped, the theory might have substance. I think TM research may have validated it to some extent, but with the vested interest being so strong, one has to take the reseach with a grain of salt.

In context Rick don't have to believe nothing like what you are trying to say, he certainly knows the Meissner field effect [M.E.] of consciousness like the Maharishi Effect observes. Just what do you think a darshan is? You doubters are pitiable spiritual midgets. You are simply pitiable, http://amma.org/ -Buck Well, Rick no longer believes in the Maharishi Effect, so...

He also describes his current take on his activities back then: Insane.
