Hmmmm.... the story of Abraham comes to mind. Better get the Arabs to meditate to eliminate *that* stress. Seems Abraham had to banish Hagar and Ishmael from the community for being trouble makers. Ishmael went on to become the *father* of the Arabs. Isaac became the father of Israel.

Deep-rooted ethnic and national stresses embedded in the collective consciousness of a region are at the basis of conflict, as in all conflicts worldwide. Unless these stresses are rooted out, destruction and killing will continue, as they have for millennia. A perennial philosophy of all major cultural traditions that there exists a transcendental field at the most fundamental level of natural law, which can be directly accessed as the silent transcendental level of the human mind. Hundreds of studies have shown that experience of transcendental consciousness breaks the chain of conditioned reflexes coming on from past behavior, as seen in reduced addictive behaviors of all kinds, decreased prison recidivism, and reduced behavioral problems in inner-city children. Although the causal mechanism is not completely understood, studies have shown that TM practice increases EEG coherence and serotonin levels of other individuals in the environment (International Journal of Neuroscience, 1989, 49(3/4):203-211; Journal of Social Behavior and Personality, 2005, 17(1):339-373). Both these biological effects predict reduced stress and increased harmony in individuals, even at a distance from the meditators. What we are suggesting is that the military of Israel, or any organization, establish such coherence- creating groups to quickly reduce tensions in the Middle East's collective consciousness. The military is traditionally the most organized aspect of society and by itself could quickly create such a group. The predicted outcome is accelerated progress towards a just, equitable, lasting peace. -Buck --- In mailto:FairfieldLife%40yahoogroups.com, merlin <vedamerlin@...> wrote: > > update on Reducing Tension in the Middle East >>> > > Dear Colleagues, > Our Op-Ed piece on creating peace in the Middle East and throughout the > world through large coherence creating groups practicing the > Transcendental Meditation programs has now been published in 52 national and > regional online journals and promoted on 11 independent websites. > This covers a wide range of cultures and ethnicities in the Buddhist, > Christian, Hindu, Jewish, and Muslim worlds.
