And with the Meditation Trust, whose objective is to make this powerful yoga 
technique available to everyone at a price they can afford, Transcendental 
Meditation (`TM') * is available at the lowest prices in Europe - (Up to 50% 
OFF fees elsewhere in UK and far more off European rates).

Since its foundation in 2000, the Trust has experienced overwhelming demand for 
Transcendental Meditation courses. Founder and Director Colin Beckley alone has 
taught several thousands of people to meditate, and weekend retreats for those 
who have learned are always fully booked way in advance. More than 50% of our 
new students come on referral from past students.

Invite them to "Occupy the Domes".

This is fabulous. Is just like what happens in Fairfield everyday. 
7:30am and 5pm and more. These people should be invited to join
the numbers here. Either inside the Domes or out in the parking lots.
The science clearly seems to indicate that it would be good for the world.
All we are saying is give peace a chance.
Peace, -Buck Ph7

A Ph 7 would make you neutral, like water. Are people actually meditating in
the parking lots? It's in the 20's now, mornings.
