Where we agree is that this concept needs exploration and study. But not on a global scale, and not in an area vibrating with so much emotion. Certainly not with a group of several million untrained minds, with some of them mired in emotional reactivity.
Interestingly enough about ten years ago Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the Trancendental Meditation founder, offered to reduce or even eliminate crime in the city of San Diego. He said he would place people trained in the art of crime reduction through meditation in various places around San Diego. There were to be enough trained meditators that they would be on the "job" around the clock. He guaranteed that the crime rate would drop dramatically and perhaps disappear. And for this service he only wanted $10 Million to help defray the costs of paying for the people who would be stationed in the city-cost of living expenses you understand. San Diego declined.I want to do a survey, HOW MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE ACTUALLY THINK THEY CAN MAKDE MONEY OFF OF THIS, protecting people from bad vibes.

Religious preachments, angry personal attacks and insulting innuendo are not evidence that such an experiment could be either safe and effective - they are their own best rebuttal, an admission that their proponents have run out of reasonable arguments.
We do desperately need love-based spiritual and political leadership in the world today. We do need to explore the boundaries of the mind. How anyone could believe that the noble ideals expoused here can possibly be accomplished with tactics of rage and insults is beyond my ability to fathom.

I do not post very often, however I wanted to say again that I feel the use of mass mind influence is a very bad idea. The reason stated again is simple, I believe it is real and we do not yet understand it. Playing with a force we do not understand can have unintended results no matter the best intent.
After doing interview after interview with those who are doing the leading work in
this area and getting the same caution
from them I feel we would be well served by listening to the experts....
