Oh, differently just as likely could have been in culmination with the summer tours of the Mothers, Ammachi and Karunamayi to America and the arrival of Mother Meera to America. Many hundreds of FF meditators were with the Mothers, including so many of those in the domes now giving boost to the program there were with the spiritual mothers this summer. Likely as such, "The calming effect" of the spiritual Mothers has snapped the TMorg back to its senses from the brink of its own decay. There is a lot more than MMY and the TMorg going on in the spiritual practice world. Much more than the Tmsidhis, & now with their little friendly competition the Mothers seem to have brought some of the better angels of the old Tm days more forward. -Doug in FF > I couldn't find the newsletter from which this excerpt is taken, but > maybe you can: > > http://noosphere.princeton.edu/ > > The Global Consciousness Project (GCP) is an international effort > involving researchers from several institutions and countries, > designed to explore whether the construct of interconnected > consciousness can be scientifically validated through objective > measurement.
