Science Proved Yoga Inflates The Ego (And The US is Gonna Get Schooled In It)

Not one, but two transcendental meditation papers have been retracted for failures to report primary outcomes. 

Because that's the level of integrity anyone should expect from followers in The NewAge Movement: most religious/spiritual believers "think" (because of their inflated egos) they're being clever - clever enough to deceive anyone using mere logic - not realizing: their ethical problems begin by wanting to fool people in the first place. You know, like repeatedly claiming their religious practice is mere exercise when (any fool can see) it most certainly is not.

Naturally, the "mastermind" behind this episode of Mystic Mayhem (this time) is Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, and his meditation and yoga cult, The Art of Living.

"Naturally" because Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, and The Art of Living, are a (well-known) spinoff from the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's Transcendental Meditation yoga cult, that America's been forced to endure, ever since The Beatles foolishly let him get his claws into them in the late 1960s.

Despite passing on no major enlightenment, or having no general success in that area whatsoever (though making millions of dollars for themselves speaking about it) the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's Transcendental Meditation yoga cult members have, continually, held some part of this nation in their grip for decades.

And, in so many disguises, it can make your head swim.

Or give you the feeling it's been erased all together.

And all of this, even AFTER the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi was busted for Science fraud - with Deepak Chopra by his side - going all the way back into the 1990s. As Seth McFarland proved (when cautioning us about Oprah Winfrey's spreading of pseudoscience) a few years back, post-Baby Boom journalism simply can't grasp the risk (and/or simply doesn't care about the consequences) of what they've been doing to themselves, or the nation.

So, in light of that, TMR just wants to say (since The Macho Response is expected to, you know, respond) now that Alabama has lifted their ban on yoga in public schools: arrogant, lying, narcissistic, pseudoscience-embracing citizens, who don't/can't recognize history, or a rape history, or just reality - but will follow any con artist calling themselves a "guru" or a "yogi" in a minute - are TOTALLY worth the risk, and obviously the wave of the future.
