I don't know Thom and don't know anything much about him or this organization, but I'll say this for them -- they know how to put together a good website. The secret is in the clean design and in the photos they've chosen of themselves and of their students and of the environment. It looks as if these people are happy and having fun. Yeah, that could just be a good PR job, but I suspect it isn't. My bet is that these people, whatever they're up to, ARE happy and having a lot of fun. And that will attract seekers to them who are interested in being more happy and having more fun. Such seekers don't care about "scientific research." When did scientific research ever make them happy and enable them to have more fun, eh? :-) > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "dhamiltony2k5" > <dhamiltony2k5@> wrote: > > > > This link is interesting trend. > > > > That court ruling, that Transcendental Meditation was not unique. > > Noteworthy link George, things to come?
