I think a reasonable explanation would be an analogy of when I used to play soccer when I was a kid. When we were in elementary school, we were always kicking the ball as hard as we could, trying to score a goal from the other side of the field. Out of frustration with our lack of progress and real teamwork, our coach pulled us together and explained how ridiculous our strategy was. He had to break things down step by step on how to slowly and methodically move the ball down the field. After that, we worked much better.
I think the TMO has been functioning with the same strategy. They have always sought out famous people and tried their whole Natural Law Party gig in the 90's. Instead of working slowly and steadily towards the goal of getting more people to meditate, the goal was to make it extremely popular at the top level or to influence the government to fund the whole thing. It's like they were always trying to win the lottery instead of find a practical plan that is more likely to work. I guess the reason is because of the success in the 70's with the Beatles. But times have changed, yet the TMO hasn't. I think they're still holding onto the idea of winning another lottery of followers like back in the 70's. seekliberation --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, laughinggull108 <no_reply@...> wrote: > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Dick Mays <dickmays@> wrote: > > > > From: Ken Chawkin <kchawkin@> > > > > The US Weekly and AAA Living Magazine are from Joe Toth. > > There are many more stars who do TM that are not on this list, but it's > > still pretty impressive! > > Can someone please explain to me why this is important...why the "stars" who > practice TM is important?
