In the short term, Transcendental Meditation, and especially its group practice, can boost the markets. The calming effect of meditation has a spillover effect into the surrounding society, according to extensive published scientific research. And this calming effect and sense of stability and optimism and confidence buoys the markets, which are extremely sensitive to the national mood. So, because the markets are such a sensitive barometer to the collective consciousness, the level of collective fear or confidence, the markets move virtually immediately with increases in the number of people meditating in these peace-promoting groups. I don't get it. Wasn't this what IA was supposed to do. John left out the "phase transition" effect he alleges IA/TM had in causing the markets to tank. More dishonesty?
