Oh, I see. I jumped into this conversation without having read any of its preamble. I thought you wanted to know how SV justifies itself. What I gave you is from the mythology that comes with the Vastu package prior to its adoption by MMY. On the other hand, it is a reasonable first place to look for an explanation. Why would anyone else have a justification for it all.
So scientific research on SV, if it occurs at all, will be stuck in the realm of correlation of results rather than being able to focus on demonstration of causality. Much like the limitations of TM research. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Peter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks for the explanation.
