Dear Turq, Yep, the thing that I heard that was interesting was the positioning of the 'Ved and Physiology' course, which is taught as a continuing education course, as a technique.
It is a technique that is practiced like a guided meditation, a mindfulness meditative process that effectively clears and turns on the subtle energetic system. In presentation it blends sci-ency and vedic terminology. They don't use the term, 'chakra' but that is what they are working on. They are catching up to where so much of the meditating community has gone on to otherwise. To me this was interesting in the 'post-founder era' in that they can now proceed in a progressive way towards offering a teaching as developed spiritual technique. It is a blending of sciency and vedic TM nomenclature. As a course it has been piloted on campus here, at Vlodrop and movement facilities. Bevan at the lecture mentioned that over 200 have taken the course here. Taking the course features an electronic audio-visual gizmo which Nadaraam and Maharishi devised that leads the meditation through the physiology. It is good, it will ground a lot of people in their subtle system bodies and probably improve a lot of health in people who can be bright on their top registers but dull and not hardly embodied otherwise. It provides something spiritually that was missing for TM virgins that will be good. It is highly amusing that it is a mindfulness kind of process. It is the thing to take on campus right now. People are repeating it, taking it two and three times & more, for the experiential component of meditating with the audio-visual guidance.
