Yeah, well, unfortunately these wackos get way more cred than you’d expect and they deserve–just like their christianist cousins. I was horrified a few years back when the article appearing before mine in the Journal of Aging and Health was some nutty shit about Vedic medicine authored by a bunch of TM wackos. They’re also famous for “studies” of the “effect” of chanting and meditation on the resolution of conflict in Occupied Palestine….Great. Thanks “peer” reviewers!
It’s a Scientology thing. You get your ‘intention’ going on, and then Shazam! there’s your new refrigerator or blowout preventer or whatever.
Oh ye of little faith. It’s all your fault we don’t live in a perfect universe! /s
