Okay, thanks, difference noted. I had heard that SSRS used exlusively old TM-Teachers to teach it - as if to keep the original connection to GD clear. Interesting thing aside: the link I had posted actually comes from this site: "The Pentagon Meditation Club (PMC) was founded by Edward Winchester at the Pentagon under authority of the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Welfare & Recreation) and officially chartered April, 1976... The PMC Club was established at the Pentagon, Washington, D. C. under the auspices of the Office of the Secretary of Defense at the Pentagon, chartered by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Welfare & Recreation) April, 1976... The PMC functioned inside the Pentagon building for over 20 years providing instruction in meditation, guest speakers, group meditations and special projects known as SDI's until the late 1990's." "PMC PROJECTS - SDI's EXERCISES - WORKING WITH SILENCE: CHANGING COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS TO PRODUCE POSITIVE RESULTS Demonstrations of Unified Field Theory A central feature for building collective consciousness is that the participants in each demonstration voluntarily agreed to enter into silence regularly using a procedure that has come to be called the "Peace Shield Meditation" technique to produce eugenic radiance (definition). By Ed Winchester Spiritual Defense can also be defined as the application of non-lethal, non-invasive, and non-physical Distance Influence (DI) thought technology, which can provide real protection and shielding by screening and blocking harmful influences of a destructive or evil nature. Spiritual Defense employs DI technology, which is thought form communication between a sender(s) and a receiver (s), whether consciously perceived or not, involving for example light and sound, prayer and meditation, and collective mental synchronization to augment and help insure security and well-being." Looks like they got some ideas. Instead of accepting Maharishi's gracious offer, they simply copied it. At least until 1990 still supported by the government, if I read this correctly http://pentagonmeditationclub.org/ http://pentagonmeditationclub.org/sdi_.htm
