... just by thinking about them?
- “If evil minds combine, good minds have to co-operate and combat them.”

When people share intentions and emotions, their coherent thoughts
spread ripples of coherence through the environment.
This isn't sorcery, it's science. Such effects have been
measured repeatedly.
A long-term, on-going experiment has shown that when major events draw
the world's attention to the same point, the shared thoughts
are powerful enough to make patterns emerge in random number generators
(1).
When people practice transcendental meditation, the activity of the
nerves in their brains (as measured by EEG) becomes coherent, showing
hyper-synchrony and rhythmicity(2). This brain coherence
during meditation has been linked to field-effects in the
environment. When large groups get together to practice
transcendental meditation, increased positivity in their surroundings
has been measured in several experiments. Positivity means
less crime, fewer road accidents, reduced alcohol and cigarette use,
rising employment, and lower pollution levels(3).
It is within our power to make essential, healthy changes in the great
systems that dominate our world. We can free our lives of the
threat from food diseased by foreign DNA. All we need to do
is put our shared attention on a GM-free Scotland, and keep it there.
Don't think your one tiny mind is too small to matter ... remember the
