Fabulous lecture tonite. Yes there is quite a significant difference between non-meditators, meditators, and advanced Patanjali meditators in brain EEG global coherence; and then listening to Sanskrit chanted slowly as Maharishi prescribed, the recitation reverberations in the subtle system evidently improving each class of coherence seemingly better than even listening to just anything else. Remarkable science of hypothesis paired testing to figure this all out. Fascinating really. Om, how our poor TM and Maharishi haters here shall eat crow**. -Buck at the Consciousness-based University **Eating crow is an American colloquial idiom http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiom,[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_crow#cite_note-oed3a-1 meaning humiliation by admitting wrongness or having been proved wrong after taking a strong position.[2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_crow#cite_note-www-2 Crow http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crow is presumably foul-tasting in the same way that being proved wrong might be emotionally hard to swallow. -Wikip
== Really important meeting tonite. EEG PATTERNS WHEN LISTENING TO VEDIC RECITATION DALBY HALL MAY 8th, 2014 Tonite 8pm Join Dr. Fred Travis in exploring what happens to the brain when listening to Vedic recitation compared to the practice of transcending meditation, and find out about the ongoing research program that is being developed to explore these effects. Reverberation in Spiritual Practice: "..within each individual through the practice of Transcendental Meditation and the Vedic sound reverberations, the Vedic texts recited. You can enliven the whole body, the whole physiology. ..In modern science, in order to materialize a theory, a scientist is needed. Listen to this carefully. In modern science, for a theory to be materialized, a scientist needs to put the theory to practice. In the Vedic world, in Vedic knowledge, in Vedic science, the scientist himself is the embodiment of the theory, is the embodiment of the principles, because it is self-referral in its own quality. From within itself it is Total Knowledge, it is total power, it is total activity. This is Vedic speech, Vedic reverberations, Vedic sound. Vedic sounds themselves operate. And this has given a completely new approach to perfect health. Perfect health means perfection in every field for everyone on earth." -Maharishi, inaugural address on January 12, 2000.
