(Famous singer personality known for his stellar medley's) Also the outgoing music theme has a strange resemblence to 'Welcome Back Kotter'. These are amazing ideas, yet so simple, if you really believe in peace. (Of course that's easy for me to say when my home is not being bombed at this moment nor is my family been murdered) I believe that most of the westrn world is afraid of meditation or they just disregard it as silly ways of 'the old world'. I do not speak for all, of course, but I for one am in need for my own meditations. People I know that do meditate just seem more grounded. And yes, peace seems always to be at the forefront. Group meditation seems a good thing and has nothing to do with the brainwashing horrors of many western 'spiritual' masses. It's a personal thing yet uses the collective ideas of peace. (I'm no authourity and I'm just beginning to start with my own routine so please correct me if I'm wrong)
