The only way to determine any kind of proof, is to see *ourselves* in terms of the effect. By considering our individual consciousness as equivalent to global, or universal, consciousness, and watching over time, the purification of our individual consciousness, the mechanics by which global consciousness is purified are increasingly obvious. As for predicting specific effects, through the ME, that is possible, although the time frame cannot be known with any certainty, anymore than our own progress towards inner peace can be charted, ahead of time. Which renders any predictions useless. The basic principle is a sound one, though, and not really unique to TM - A peaceful individual leads to a peaceful family, community, country and world. I recall Maharishi saying in the '90's that the world was getting more extreme, and to just not be disturbed by it, focusing on growing inner peace instead. Still really good advice.
