Michael, This is excellent writing. You should write a book about your youth while growing up in the South. Who knows, it could be a best seller.

There is a fourth possibility, that the term 'support of all the laws of nature' has an essential meaning that is different from what assumes: a meaning such as 'you gain control over those laws'. You can experience that the laws of nature support your little body and the world and the universe, but you do not gain any personal control over them than you had before getting involved in spiritual practice. It does appear to be a fact the world is in no better shape than before M, before Christ, before Buddha, especially before Mohamed. Adding to that there are many other groups doing group spiritual practices, and that doesn't seem to change things either. TM movement science generally seems to be biased in certain ways, which weakens its appeal to the broad scientific consensus, and most of the studies are too small. They largely seem to me to be designed to be used as marketing material; they are never done with the idea that the null hypothesis is the correct one. It is obvious that TM does something, what is not clear is exactly what that something is in the broad range it is said to influence. It seems well established that it creates changes in brain wave patterns; beyond that it is much less clear. An honest scientist would try to find out where it does not work as well as where it does, but you never see movement figures, scientist or otherwise really talk about areas where TM etc., shows no effect.

I think of them more as Movement figurines.

Yes, absolutely what we need are numbers meditating now. Evidently one percent of the total for a change. And not let these ignorant anti-science, anti-meditation, meditation-quitters and -haters and non-meditators get in the way of and dissuade progress for us all. Talk about a null set bunch of theorists. Yes, just a bunch of spiritually damned sophists in effect trying their damnedest to hold us up. Let's just get going with what we know. Based on plenty good and now way more than preliminary science, people everywhere should be learning transcending meditation and coming to group meditations nearby them. This meditation is now good science and should be good public policy for so many good reasons. Don't let the promotion of such simple and plain spiritual good like transcending meditation be derailed by the ignorant hooliganisms of these few misanthropes that troll the internet all days long with their own stuck in the past negativity. As always, good practical advice warns, 'Consider the source' and protect yourSelf. These anti-meditators are as vile as they are delusional in their virtue. -Buck in the Dome Anartaxius write: There is a fourth possibility, that the term 'support of all the laws of nature' has an essential meaning that is different from what assumes: a meaning such as 'you gain control over those laws'.
