It happens if you actually do something in order to make it happen, and TM is an example of such activity that helps good things to actually happen.
PiedPiper please share with us your view about improving calm and at peace among people
Doron, the world's population hasn't been at peace with each other for the entire history of our species. The fact that I start to practice TM is not going to affect my jerk of a neighbor any more than if I were to offer to teach him about Jesus / Allah / Thor or bake him a cake. He's a jerk. He doesn't care about TM and he's not alone.
You seem to be under the impression that if everyone just got along with each other the world would be at peace. I agree with you on that. How we actually *get* to that point is another matter entirely. It hasn't happened yet, in the history of humankind. People fight. People argue. Pacifists exist, but so do serial killers.
TM is not the world's savior. I hate to break it to ya, but it's just not. From what I've researched, it appears to be a good relaxation technique, but links to any real medical benefits seem to be of poor quality; more study is needed. You're never going to convince the entire world to become practitioners of TM.
Given that there's always going to be that "Jerk Percentage", I don't see how TM is going to save us from destruction. I also fail to see much of a connection between TM and the math that you've been tossing out for the past 10k posts. If there is a link, explain it to me in a short, easy to read single paragraph that uses layman terms and words of short syllables. Failure to do this indicates a lack of a connection.
Being able to distill a complex subject into a simple, straight-forward statement is vital for communication between highly specialized individuals and the average Joe. I'm not qualified to comment on your many thousands of posts involving mathematics, although the common opinion of other experts here on the forum seems to be quite low. I'll go with the majority for the moment, but I'm willing to extend an olive branch if you can do the above (distill down the essence of what you're saying into a simple statement).
No wishful thinking. No statements that aren't supported. No self-beliefs pushed forward as facts. An example of a post that would convince me is something like this:
"XYZ has been shown (citations) to do ABC. People who practice XYZ have been shown to experience less disasters (citations). Therefore, I advocate that more people learn about XYZ, because it will help them avoid disasters. Also, this positive experience with XYZ has been demonstrably shown to convince normal, skeptical non-practioners of XYZ to begin practicing XYZ (citations). Therefore, XYZ will eventually lead to a worldwide reduction of disasters".
That's 10,000 posts distilled down into one, easy to digest paragraph. Can you do this? One paragraph, say no more than 7-8 sentences? Including citations to well-reviewed studies or statistics?
Regarding your challenge to me ("please share with us your view about improving calm and at peace among people") I would be happy to provide my thoughts on how this can be done once you write out the above requested paragraph. My ideas won't work, because they've been tried and shown not to work, but you claim your idea does work. So, let's see what you've got.
1. No buzzwords.
2. Short, easy to understand vocabulary. Like you're talking to a friendly stranger at the pub.
3. At least one peer-reviewed citation for every claim that you make to be true.
If you can't provide this, or respond with double-talk, or respond with "well you can't 'get' this because blah blah blah" I'm afraid we really have nothing further to talk about.
You're the one that claimed your method could reduce the chance of all mankind falling prey to cataclysmic destructive forces. Time to prove it. One paragraph.
