Hi Mandybuglet
its called David Lynch Foundation because that was the name of the concert. It was a fundraiser concert to introduce Transcendental Meditation to children in school.
TM has been scientifically proven to help with stress as well as to allows one to enter a natural state of alertness and restfulness.
I'm dredging up this very old thread rather than starting a new one that may very well go nowhere.
i heard, from an interview with George and Kathy Lutz, they of the dubious Amityville Horror notoriety, that they believe their horrific experiences in that house were caused by demons summoned (I'm not sure
summoned is the proper word here) by their use of TM. Kathy Lutz specifically mentioned that they had tried TM because the Beatles had. That piqued my curiousity a little, but I didn't give it much thought.
Fast forward 10 years, and I've heard locally that many people, including some friends (one in particular who tried TM herself), do indeed believe that TM is a way of opening oneself up to demons and that the mantra one is given is in fact that name of "your" demon. Hm.
I did a quick Google search on this and found a bunch of hysterical sites run by evangelical groups, and their claims seemed overhyped and not credible to me.
I do know, however, that many U.S. parents have argued against yoga being taught in school PE classes just for this reason.
Just thought I'd throw this out there . . .
