Script LEAD: THERE'S A GATHERING OF PEOPLE IN IOWA WHO HOPE TO END TERRORISM, WITHOUT VIOLENCE THEY ARE TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATORS AND THEY ARE BEING CALLED TO IOWA'S MAHARISHI UNIVERSITY OF MANAGEMENT AS CRAIG BROWN REPORTS, THE TERRORIST ATTACKS OF SEPTEMBER 11TH, HAVE BROUGHT TRANSCENDENTALISTS TOGETHER IN AN URGENT MISSION FOR PEACE SCRIPT: ONE THOUSAND TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATORS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE FLOCKING TO FAIRFIELD, IOWA THEIR GOAL IS TO GROUP MEDITATE TO END TERRORISM (SOT In darkness, the best way to eliminate it is to add light So what we want to do is add an influence of peace and harmony to the whole world situation) SHERRY LEVESQUE CAME FROM MANCHESTER NEW HAMPSHIRE SHE EXPLAINS HOW IT WORKS (SOT It's collective consciousness When the mind settles down to experience this transcendental field to create an influence of cohesive orderliness and harmony that radiates out in the environment) (SOT I know from my own experience, the larger the numbers are the nicer your meditations are ) THE GROUP HOPES TO PUT 40 THOUSAND YOGIC FLIERS IN INDIA (STAND UP In addition to meditating overseas, the Maharshi University of Management hopes to gather three thousand meditators in the gold domes here in Fairfield ) THE UNIVERSITY IS ASKING PRIVATE DONORS FOR ONE BILLION DOLLARS THAT'S RIGHT A BILLION DOLLARS TO FUND THE MEDITATION EFFORTS (SOT And when you put it in the context of the price one B-1 bomber, what influence a group like that would have would mean much, much savings in terms of defense needs) (sot I suppose ideally, if you had EVERYBODY meditating we could do away with the military Is that gonna happen? I'll settle for one percent) TAG: MEDITATORS SAY THE THEORY IS BASED ON PHYSICS MUCH LIKE A RADIO WAVE, INNER PEACE IS RADIATED TO OTHERS THEY SAY IT CANNOT BE DENIED,
