30 April 2010 MGF Chat Summary - Raja Peter reports good signs from UK Raja Peter noted some interesting signs of improving collective consciousness in the UK in the open discussion by two leading politicians from the two parties who are most likely to win the election about their practice of Transcendental Meditation. In an interview with The Times, Conservative Party shadow Foreign Secretary William Hague described how Transcendental Meditation, which he has practiced daily for 30 years since learning the technique as a teenager in Sheffield, makes him calmer, have fewer headaches, and sleep better despite his 6am – 9pm day. The former Tory leader, best-selling author and self-made millionaire dismissed the suggestion that there is anything mystical about Transcendental Meditation, emphasizing that he used it for purely practical reasons. Liberal Democrat Party leader Nick Clegg in another interview with The Times said that he had practiced Transcendental Meditation regularly for 5 years in his twenties, and had found it “extremely useful for dealing with the ordinary stresses of life.” Associated Press reported that Britain's Prince Charles will be featured on US television network NBC later this year in a film about his environmental work. NBC will show 'Harmony,' a movie about the Prince and his view that people have lost the understanding of how to live in harmony with the natural world. It features business and environmental leaders working for a better balance. The special is part of NBC's fourth annual week of programming promoting green lifestyles. Raja Peter introduced Dr David Rae and Dr Henry Brighouse from Scotland, who reported on the project to build a Peace Colony with a Maharishi Tower on Invincibility and Invincible Donovan University in Edinburgh. The property they are planning on the waterfront is available at a much lower price than when they started, and a strong team is forming to prepare every aspect thoroughly before taking the plan to the local authorities for initial approval.
