This is not published in a peer-reviewed respected scientific journal and no one in their right mind would give it credence until it is. That would be like Vaj claiming research that is not published under peer-review in a respected scientific journal is somehow comparable to that which is. It would be foolish. It doesn't mean the data is wrong or not interesting, it just means that it is not validated in a scientific way, and therefore is no more than opinion at this point ( a bit like Rick's rumors ), and is not something that can be used as a measuring stick.
So thank for re-iterating my point. Only research published in respected peer-reviewed scientific journals is valid in the 21st cenutry (like the 200+ published on TM so far -- and rising) OffWorld OffWorld--- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "dhamiltony2k5" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > front page of Fairfield Ledger, > > If it is published then it makes it true. > > > Dec 11th Edition of the Ledger: > > "Positive trends fulfill predictions for group meditation study. > > "The results are in > "From the first-ever scientific demonstration project to document the > long-term positive effects of large group meditations on national > trends." > > "According to quantum physicist Dr. John Hagelin, exec director of > the International Center for Invincible Defense and the project's > science director " > > "After a two-year surge, violent crime is down suddenly " > > "After decades of unremitting escalation, nuclear tensions between > the US and North Korea are ending swiftly and peacefully " > > "violence is down 60% in Iraq " > > "Wall Street is on pace for its second most profitable year ever " > > > > ""It is possible that any one or two of these positive trend, > unforeseen by experts even six months ago, could have occurred on > their own.
