Sometimes when I would attend or lead advanced lectures or even intros I would refer to transcending as sitting in the hand of God. The transcendent is so sweet that when we surrender to the transcendent it is like that being suspended in space and totally safe in the hand of God.

If I have a choice of seeing a film about an English butler and an English maid, or a Film with Arnold S ripping the heads off some believed terror ist I have chosen the Arnold film.

Maybe the people who have fought for the liberation of the very country might have a problem with the new Capitalism. GOD = GOOD even Atheist believe in the GOOD. So the idea of Jesus may be a little much to accept.

So Maharishi is 1000% correct in saying that we have to change things from the level of consciousness because there is where the only real change can take place. Changing the consciousness of the masses will change governments through the transformation from the level of consciousness perhaps there will be no need for Terror or guerrilla warfare. > I hope you're right Louis, I always root for the opitimist. And I've taken part in many a WPA myself. To me the Maharishi Effect is a case of 'theory not proved'. It seems like the world is just turning on oblivious of us, wars, financial disaster, food crisis, environmental collapse, and yet we have pundits everywhere. Maybe I'm too cynical but it aint lookin so good to me. Not yet. But I do hope you're right. > I dont just believe in God I know it from a very scientific and intimate basis. Yet it is not to be confused with the banana peel. God is that but the human consciousness can only be where it is. Look at how it varies in this group. Then you can see the world. Maharishi technology is like a tuning fork without it there is just chaos....... I'm sure I get what you would call the intimate knowledge of God, my heart is overflowing with it, and I can see where all the devotion comes from. I just call it something else that's all. I think all people are the same, they are just switched on to their hearts or they are not. And the "nots" are perhaps where the problems lies? The scientific part escapes me, I think God has been remarkably elusive there. > sandiego108 wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Hugo" > wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "sandiego108" > > wrote: > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "curtisdeltablues" > > > wrote: > > > > > > > > > His father had promised him a car for his birthday.
