I'm not convinced. The same mindset has been present in *every* TM environment I've ever lived or worked in, including the centers and administrative offices in the heart of Los Angleles. One can create an 'island' anywhere if one wants to. The question for me is whether this mindset is the result of TM per se or the effect of decades of indoctrination in "Don't focus on the negative." I don't know. ------------------------ Yahoo!
