Buddhist Monks Lower Crime Rate in Washington DC
This study presents the final results of a two-month prospective experiment to reduce violent crime in Washington, DC. On the basis of previous research it was hypothesized that the level of violent crime in the District of Columbia would drop significantly with the creation of a large group of participants in the Transcendental Meditation® and TM-Sidhi® programs to increase coherence and reduce stress in the District.....
......Analysis of 1993 data, controlling for temperature, revealed that there was a highly significant decrease in HRA crimes associated with increases in the size of the group during the Demonstration Project. The maximum decrease was 23.3% when the size of the group was largest during the final week of the project. The statistical probability that this result could reflect chance variation in crime levels was less than 2 in 1 billion (p < .000000002).

not sure that guilt is a negative thing. i mean...if they started to feel bad for things they've done or kept from us...and "repent"...did we really send negativity their way?
and now by sending them guilt..i was more meaning send them energy/intentions to make their consciouses suddenly re-light.edit on 12/6/11 by ICEKOHLD because: (no reason given)
The Light can only stand up against the Dark if it does not become the darkness itself.

Take a candle into a dark room and the darkness will leave.
Now take a sealed box of darkness into a light room and open the box, can the darkness chase away the light?
