Avant-garde film director David Lynch ("Mulholland Dr.") wants to
raise $7B to create world peace through a massive Transcendental
Meditation program. A corps of 8,000, trained in TM, would
create a coherent unified field over Earth. I don't mean to be a
cynic, but in the 1993 Demonstration Project to reduce violence
John Hagelin had 5,000 meditating over an 8 week period for only
$1M. He offered to end the war in Kosovo with 7,000 Yogic flyers
(flyers are better trained). After 9/11, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
himself, in a full-page ad in the NY Times, turned to "the
world's wealthiest." He proposed to create world peace with a
corps of 40,000 flyers for $1B. "There must be a few peace-loving
billionaires who can raise the money in one day," he said. We
see from Iraq that not one cheapskate billionaire came through.
