May it be allowed to question with all due respect, kowtau and hand kisses to
my Lady of the Lake Jude your references. You mentioning as a source for
Dr.Domash article your battleground where you fought so brave for purity and
integrity...when there is the article as a whole avaible at mum.
Oh my dear , let us consider with Lawrence Domash that " the degree of
consciousness may be related to the degree of long-range spatial and temporal
comprehension and awareness"and therefore related our degree of long-range
spatial and temporal comprehension and awareness to the wholeness of the
article and it in devotion so brilliantly described implication. , not
forgetting the context,too.
The introduction "Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and the Transcendental Meditation
Program: A New Direction for Scientific Research" continues:
"It would be shortsighted, however, to believe that Maharishi will be regarded
in the future merely as the man who introduced to science a certain new or
revived relaxation technique with a variety of measurable effects. Rather, it
seems certain that he will properly come to be regarded as the man who changed
the entire scope and direction of scientific research by compelling science to
recognize in its own terms and by its own methods the existence and reality of
a new state of consciousness. This is the real discovery, of which the
Transcendental Meditation technique itself is actually a technological
application, and it is surely a development of much more far-reaching
importance for scientific knowledge than all of the other great scientific
advances of this century combined. It is to this point that we would like to
devote the remainder of this introduction."

In editors note: – ..Also since that time, modern theoretical physics has
further advanced a fundamental concept that Dr. Domash discusses in this essay,
namely that there is a basic state of least excitation known as the ground
state, or “vacuum state,” of any field, which Dr. Domash compares with the
field of pure consciousness. Modern physics has now developed completely
unified field theories, mathematical descriptions of a field of unity
underlying all the diversity of the universe and uniting all the fundamental
force and matter fields.
At the time he wrote this essay, Dr. Domash was Chancellor of Maharishi
European Research University, in Switzerland, and shortly thereafter became the
second president of Maharishi International University (1977–1980).
Objection Your Honour. Could they not give our Superradiancer-now-"Floor
sweeper' Lawrence Domash more credit than "ground state, or “vacuum state”
formulation?

Seraphita, if you're interested in what Maharishi wanted known about the

The post contains the first half of the introductory essay by Larry Domash to
the first volume of the Collected Papers (research studies on TM, published in
1975). The whole thing (that is, the whole first half) is of interest, but
Domash gets to the nitty-gritty about the origins of TM in the paragraph
beginning "As an unusually talented student..." if you want to skip the
background.
Rick Archer has said he was present when Domash read the essay to Maharishi
for his approval, so we can be pretty sure it reflects the account Maharishi
wanted told. (Whether it's 100 percent accurate is anyone's guess.) It doesn't
exactly answer your question, but it seems clear that Maharishi didn't simply
parrot the meditation instructions given by Guru Dev (or at least didn't want
that to be the story).
