Save Lebanon: Bounce On Your Butt
File under: Wackadoo Gurus and The Siddhi of PR
That wacky old Madharishi believes he can bring peace to the current Lebanese-Isreali conflict by getting several thousand TM™ acolytes to collectively bounce on their asses.
We aren't holding our breath (or our bowels) while we wait for this to come to pass.

I was particularly amused by the comments condemning TM as demonic, when Middle Eastern monotheism has historically been and continues to be a huge source of blood lust, war, and suffering. I have zero faith in the ability of Yogic Flying to have any effect on peace beyond the inner peace of the individual actually doing it, but of all the parties involved here, the TMers are, IMO, the least demonic of the entire bunch.
Well, considering that Alex is from Fairfield, Iowa, I would suspect that he may have a certain bias on this issue? Alex, next time use a profile that doesn't say "FAIRFIELD, IOWA" in it, most users are savvy enough here to get that is Mahari$hi headquarters.
Hey Anonymous,
Your response to alex is self righteous at best. Having lived in Fairfield for 5 years 83-88, I can tell you that many of the TM movement's harshest critics live or have lived there. It remains a nice little mid western town. I don't do TM anymore, though my experience with it was good over all. I have to agree that Maharishi and his overly hopeful teachings make him by far the least demonic of the influences involved in trying to end that conflict.
Although I live in Fairfield, I no longer do the TM and TM-Sidhis programs, and I don't think groups of Yogic Flyers will create Middle Eastern or world peace. But, I don't think it takes a TM background to see that a desire for peace, unity, and harmony is clearly less demonic than the monotheism that's driving the endless Middle Eastern strife.
