>>13168937I don't know why people in here are supporting this idea. Really, it is blind speculation of a fundamental connection that has no basis in any root. It is also disastrously bad if considering what it means when crazy people think crazy thoughts.
Now, the other perspective on what it means for one percent to transcendentally meditate. I thought his would be the watered down Kaczynski of Thoreau and Emerson, to my surprise, he is headed towards the Indians.
The use of mantras is hypnosis and the underlying assumptions are about digging through archetypes. You can compare it to a Christian or Islamic religious experiences and since they have had much greater than 1% of the population practicing their self-delusion and their control is actually slipping, well obviously how can 1% be stronger?
Now, the Lynch meditation must be in someway more profound, critical, or deeper for it to have more effect. But apparently many and many more have direct experiences of god. What can be more transcendental than that?
I am sticking with subjective experiences here. There is great things in meditation, but typically, the idea of mind controlling others is not associated with the perks of it. In fact, many things including marketing try to leverage everything above that transcendental moment. And they are irredeemably perverse.
The best thing that 1% could do would be to find each other. Form a secret cabal, probably not all that much different in structure to any of the others at inception. Groups like this usually start with a handful so one percent can be a very big number. Whatever society they created for themselves would have little violent crime, but might turn into a boring monastery. Collect many from outside of transcendence and eventually become nothing.
