    Sure. Adherents say enough people meditating at the same time can lead to global peace but that’s not that weird, Noah. And supernatural powers just means unlocking the brain’s untapped ability, which is also not that weird. Also flying is just jumping while in lotus (google it)https://twitter.com/NoahShachtman/status/1051485148766765056 …

    Reza, we never call it a cult. And we note that, for lots of people, TM is a simple relaxation technique. But TM's leaders also claim, on the record, that it can trigger these supernatural powers, including the ability to end war and steer political events.

        My point is all belief systems have things that look weird from the outside (Catholics literally eat the flesh and blood of Jesus?). TM is something a lot of upper class white people do. There’s no reason to make sound nefarious. Plenty of other reasons to loath/distrust Javanka

        "And supernatural powers just means unlocking the brain’s untapped ability" What is next, are you going to sell power crystals or a detox supplement? I am shocked you believe this thoroughly debunked claptrap.

        The power of the subconscious mind has been debunked?

        No, I did not mention the subconscious mind, that is a strawman. I said supernatural powers have been debunked. "brain's untapped ability" - I have been hearing this since the 1960's and nothing scientifically proven has been accomplished.

        And it will never be scientifically proven same way as the colours will never be proven by your tongue. Also scientists are using very non-scientific ways of proving it. You cant prove a closed system by including the system into your parameter of prove - etalon 😉
