Taking claim, are there no other places that have been doing these spiritual practices like TM with an interest since the summer? Seems that the world tensions of the mideast/Lebenon/Iraq/Iran/Nkorea caught the attention of a lot of people and their spiritual practices otherwise, not just MMY.
For instance, did not the Art of Living folks/ShriShriRS have large group meditations, with some millions in India this summer? By the sequence of events and the scale of numbers, would it be more likely that the run of positivity was done by other events like the SSRS meditations happening other than the way the TMorg is promoting it? Are there no other spiritual practice communities like FF meditating or doing spiritual practice regularly with numbers? (Is MMY and FF the only show on earth doing these things at this time as they would lead one to believe?) -Doug in FF --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Dick Mays <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > <http://www.invincibleamerica.org/press/2006_10_25.html>http://www.in vincibleamerica.org/press/2006_10_25.html > > > > > <http://desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?
