email : I agree that a group of TM mediators created a wonderful community here and there is an effect where like minded people come together on a path and create harmony in the atmosphere... that’s why many are attracted to satsang ( being with others in Truth) or ashrams. But to solely emphasize that mediating together in large groups will create 1% and change the world is not that attractive a concept anymore. esp for those who have been meditating for many decades and see the world going through more and more chaos.
.. Other response: I don’t disagree with any of the personal reflections about our personal connections to living a peaceful life and our own growth not being determined by the external world. I do though believe in the enlivenment of the field of nature’s intelligence having an impact on everything and that the resonance brings about more positive energy and greater possibilities. If it’s not someone’s calling, that’s okay. I agree that the message has become worn out for some people. David Orme-Johnson’s presentations are always fascinating though – even if you don’t believe. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : Phoenix Rising Hall (Burlington and 3rd). 7:30 PM, 20 June Maharishi Effect: Fact or Fiction?
