It has *nothing* to do with what works in real life, and is as much a fantasy as the "scriptures" it's based on. You'd do better hiring a person who is willing to actually work an eight-hour day diligently to staff your team than to hire some poofter who wants to take off to "do program" at 4:00 pm. You'd also do better hiring the willing worker than you'd do by hiring some blue-skinned elitist who can't even drive a chariot by himself, and needs someone else to do it for him. And who *then* feels it's his "rightful place" to tell that chariot driver how to live his life and who it is OK to kill in the name of righteousness and who it is not. :-)
Barry, when I first moved here, it was a local joke... if you want something done, and done well, don't hire a meditator, hire a townsperson. The meditators mostly had a reputation for being lazy spoiled brats. Now, of course, there are so few meditators left it's become irrelevant. Sal
