Unlikely to be the other factors that were considered, of course. The 
problem with research like this is that you can never prove that you 
allowed for ALL possible factors. This is why scientists prefer 
labratories to the "real world."

One can only hope so. I've been using Firefox since it was called
Phoenix, and I love it. Also, the shaking works fine in Firefox on my
XP laptop. I'll have to investigate what's going on with my Win2000
desktop machine when I get back home.

I know. 
The post was for those who are using heresay and rumor to bolster 
their irrationality. Peer-review in scientific journals is the only 
standard by which humans can agree. If it is not a perfect system 
then it will need to be established under strict peer-review 
precisely that it is not perfect (for how else are people to agree 
upon observations?). And then, once this establishes it to be 
imperfect (which has not yet been established by peer-review), then 
it should be improved upon. 
Until these two steps are taken then it is the best way humans have 
to ensure some measure of measurability and consensus.
Opinions based on non-peer review  amount to fairy tales and myth. 
So kudos to you.

Did you get the browser window shaking like it's having an orgasm? Or
just the little popup click thingies? All I got in Firefox was the
popup click thingies.

Have you heard Viv Prince play with Pretty Things? At his best
he's nothing short of amazing, IMO:

Drummer Vivian Prince, ironically, was drafted in by management and 
record label interests in the hopes of bringing some much-needed 
professionalism to the outfit.  At a glance Prince's credentials, 
including sessions and work with the Carter-Lewis & the Southerners 
(during which he played alongside a young Jimmy Page), seemed sound.  
Prince would soon prove himself, however, to be the most out-of-
control musician in the band by a longshot.  In May's estimation, "We 
were sort of novice lunatics, but suddenly they hand us, like, the 
high priest of lunacy."  As Taylor observes archly, "Viv was a very, 
very professional musician when he wasn't completely pissed." 

But, Taylor quickly adds, "Even when he wasÝcompletely pissed, he 
was a very professional musician."  Prince was also a wholly 
overlooked influence upon Keith Moon, who would take a similar manic 
energy to the drum kit when he joined the Who.  "I always remember 
Keith coming and standing in front of our set, watching the gig, 
right in front of the drums," says May.  "Keith, later, would also 
say he idolized Viv.  Before that playing drums was quite sedentary.  
Boring.  And through Viv, you'd suddenly realize you could be a 
drummer, but also an extrovert.  You could be a star, and play your 
drums too.  I think Keith realized he could be Keith, and didn't have 
to switch instruments.  He could still play drums and let out all his 
lunacy through the drum kit.  'Cause Viv was amazing.  He'd hit 
anything -- mike stands, fire bucket, just anything he'd play.  
Drummed on the floor, on the guitars themselves."

I was thinking of the empty rows of trailers up in vedic city.  I
guess there are functioning schools in India, though I'd say not much
to show given all the money that's gone into it the past 20 yrs,
starting with zimmerman's sponsorship in the 80s and going thru the
millionaire courses.

Dear San Antonio, South and West Texas Gov¹s, Sidhas, and Meditators,

Following is a review of some good news since the project began here, with
some ³new news,²

Good wishes to each of you,

Einar & Mary Cathryn




Dear Raja Wynne,

As we have an appointment with the Mayor¹s office this afternoon at 2 and
are meeting with the Montignani¹s at noon for lunch to prepare, for the
first time we won¹t be able to be on the call today but will speak with John
Runkle again this afternoon or tomorrow, he called us yesterday and said
let¹s talk again Monday or Tuesday. And we will be on the Wednesday call.
This was the second reschedule of our appointment with the Mayor¹s staff
member so we felt it best to just come at the time of her request.

In general for the city of San Antonio, things have been going especially
well since the project began here:

* the new mayor was elected with an intention to reform a city hall that
according to several columnists didn¹t have the best reputation,

* the Spurs won the national championship,

* the mayor is being praised around the country,

* he was able to get the city manager he wanted who is said to have been
responsible for bringing Phoenix to national high-profile,

* the mayor has asserted much more of a centralizing leadership role in the
context of a city manager/council set-up, while winning the respect and
appreciation of council members,

* he has also created a much needed house cleaning of the city attorney¹s
office and operations,

* a Congressional committee decided to decrease the offensive orientation of
the military here and make it even more of a health center,

* the plans for a major Toyota plant in the underdeveloped south of the city
are progressing smoothly, which will balance and revitalize the whole city¹s
economy,


* the Saints have come to town to capacity crowds and San Antonio is by far
the most likely contender for their permanent residence, creating another
major economic and emotional boost for the population,

* a new study just came out showing that financial services (banking) has
been since 2001 the #1 economic factor in the metro economy (rather than
biotech), news that was welcomed by the city business and government
leaders,

* the regional VP¹s of Chase and Wells Fargo have both said the area has a
very bright future and they are going to substantially increase their
investment in it.

* Bexar County (SA¹s county) did not vote for the current president in the
past election,

* here in the only area of the US where military recruitment has not been
falling and failing, a nearly full page guest editorial appeared on the
first page of the Views section of the Express-News yesterday calling for an
end to the US military activity in Iraq,

* this member of the Mayor¹s staff has enthusiastically welcomed us to an
appointment, expressing strong interest in our group (due to a great extent
to the proper orientation of 5 key government buildings, including City
Hall, very near each other downtown),

* although we have not asked any radio or TV stations to be on talk shows, a
talk show host invited us on her show as soon as she could schedule it (this
coming January), saying she is very interested and thinks many others will
be,

* International has approved a $5.5 million land for San Antonio if the
owners are willing to receive payment over time,

* the owner of one of the most well-located, up-scale, exclusive shopping
centers in the metro area has been trying to persuade us for weeks to open
our Maharishi Enlightenment Center in his location, saying our business
concept and financials are better than a successful business who would like
one of his spaces. Every strong, succcessful Governor  here (Josie and Paul
Fauerso, Jim van Winkle, Gary Hardy, and John Layton), have been thrilled
with this opportunity and the space is half built out, with costs approved
by you ($15 + $5, with a likelihood the owner will pay $10/SF to complete
the build-out). He even stopped his negotiations with this other potential
tenant in order to offer us the space they were very close to leasing with
him after weeks of negotiations. The name of the shopping center is The
Collection (English for Samhita).

All of these except Toyota¹s decision and the vote happened since the
project started here. We appreciate your time and attention very much and
look forward to the conference calls.


Jai Guru Dev, Good wishes,

Einar & Mary Cathryn

When asked about reincarnation, Maharishi used to say, "I'm opposed to it." And, "Its for the ignorant." Or for Bodhisattvas, who care more about other sentient beings than they do about dwelling in eternal bliss, a concept that seems to have escaped Maharishi completely. Indeed. In western practice we call it "the City of the Pyramids". It was probably first noted by the Buddhist-tantric adept Aleister Crowley, but is also noted in Itzhak Bentov's notebooks.As you leave dualistic vision and begin integrating non-dual Vision many people encounter a plane filled with what seems to be an endless plane of small pyramids. A city of pyramids. On closer inspection you see these are not "pyramids" at all but high adepts who were all on the verge of enlightenment. They look like pyramids because they are all locked in full lotus. Close examination will reveal their nervous systems are perfectly pure. They are channeling perfect bliss and choose to stay that way. They do not help others. Aeons will pass and they will remain that way.

Man Fails to Fly, Sues Camelot Owner

Fourth in a Five-Part Series

By NANCY K. OWENS

Associate Editor


THE MAHARISHI

Editor¹s Note: This is the fourth of a five-part series investigating the
demise and possible future of the Camelot Hotel. Once one of the most
popular gathering places in Tulsa¹s history, and the host one time to
President Richard Nixon, the building has become an eyesore and health
menace.

On August 29, 2002, the Washington Post reported that The Global Country of
World Peace issued bonds which, according to information provided by
Maharishi, the owner of the Camelot in Tulsa, will pay 6 to 7 percent. He
has enthusiastically encouraged investors to ³Create world peace  and make
money!²

In addition to founding his own country and developing its own currency, the
Maharishi empire has been active and fairly successful in reaching out to
our nation¹s schools. In a November 13, 2004 article, AP writer Patrick
Condon writes that officials from The Maharishi School of the Age of
Enlightenment, a 300 student, private K-12 academy located in Fairfield,
Iowa, have reported ³all their children are above average.² The secret, they
claim, is Transcendental Meditation. Advocates for TM are enthusiastic about
spreading TM¹s success to other schools and have appeared at public schools
in New York, California, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Kentucky and other places.

University of South Carolina sociologist Barry Markovsky, who researches
social networks, has referred to TM as a ³stealth religion² and questioned
the benefits of exposing students to it. Maharishi adherents emphasize that
the movement is not a religion. They are quoted in a Kansas City Star
September 27, 1999 article on this subject: ³It is a mental and spiritual
exercise that allows the human mind to come closer to its full potential.²

The TM programs advocate, Bob Roth, spokesman for the Consciousness-Based
Education Association is quoted in Condon¹s article as saying, ³You have 10
million kids on antidepressants, one in five black kids with hypertension
and America not leading the world in test scores. Transcendental Meditation
is not just a way to reduce stress, it¹s a way to prepare a student to learn
and do well.² Despite questions that have been raised about Maharishi
schools¹ accreditation status, school officials have pointed out that their
students have scored in the 99th percentile on standardized tests for the
last 10 years, 95% of their students go on to college and that they graduate
10 times the national average of National Merit Scholars.

The TM program for students has already been adapted into the curriculum at
public schools in Detroit and Washington. George Rutherford, principal of
the Fletcher-Johnson Learning Center in Washington and TM practitioner
himself introduced TM into his school in 1994 and informed Condon that,
thanks to TM, ³Johnson has become a safe haven.² Public charter school
Nataki Taliba Schoolhouse in Detroit teaches its students TM and the cost is
covered by private grants and corporate donations from companies such as
Daimler-Chrysler and General Motors. The private funding is helpful because
it costs an average of $625 per student per year to bring TM into the
curriculum.

Despite the educational successes claimed by officials at Maharishi
educational institutions, concerns have been raised by some about issues of
violence and drug abuse. The IowaChannel.com reported on March 4, 2004 that
Maharishi University of Management (MUM) student Shuvender Sim, 24, of
Lancaster PA, was charged with first-degree murder and assault with intent
to commit serious injury after the stabbing death of fellow classmate Levi
Butler, 19, of LaQuinta Calif. The attack occurred in front of dozens of
students in the campus dining hall. Sim was also charged with a stabbing
attack that occurred earlier in the day when he allegedly stabbed a
classmate in the cheek with a ballpoint pen during a class called Teaching
for Enlightenment. School officials intervened after this incident and said
they had ³handled the problem² and reminded officials the MUM was a place of
peace and enlightenment. No one could determine what led to the assaults.
Sim was arrested and held on a $1 million dollar bond.

According to the report, Sim, a diagnosed schizophrenic, had been off his
medication for months when he stabbed the two students. According to a June
8, 2005 report in the Des Moines Register, ³Prosecutors, and defense
attorneys for Sim say that he should be found not guilty of first degree
murder because he was insane at the time of the incident.²

The confiscation of drug paraphernalia at MUM in April 2004 raised more
eyebrows among officials. Officers were called to the University when a
campus security guard found an ³indoor marijuana growing operation² in a
student¹s room.

The equipment included grow lights, fans, tubing, dirt, planting p

He's leading us straight into it, which is part of the plan. Might as well

But as a former drummer myself, I would say that Ringo was perfect for the
Beatles. He had impeccable timing. I heard there was once a contest in which
Ringo and several other drummers played along with a metronome and then kept
playing after the metronome stopped. Ringo stayed on the beat for about five
minutes but the other drummers quickly deviated from it. He was also very
understated, doing these tasteful little fills that really enhanced the song
without distracting in any way. Plus his charming personality fit right in
with the others. A match made in heaven.

No, it's more of an agitation in my nervous system, which I seem to hear
with my ears. Yet it's not blood circulating in my ears, because I can
choose to relax out of it and it stops.

this
subject: It is a mental and spiritual exercise that allows the human mind to 
come
closer to its full potential.

The TM programs advocate, Bob Roth, spokesman for the Consciousness-Based 
Education
Association is quoted in Condons article as saying, You have 10 million kids 
on
antidepressants, one in five black kids with hypertension and America not 
leading
the world in test scores. Transcendental Meditation is not just a way to reduce
stress, its a way to prepare a student to learn and do well. Despite questions
that have been raised about Maharishi schools accreditation status, school
officials have pointed out that their students have scored in the 99th 
percentile on
standardized tests for the last 10 years, 95% of their students go on to 
college and
that they graduate 10 times the national average of National Merit Scholars.

The TM program for students has already been adapted into the curriculum at 
public
schools in Detroit and Washington. George Rutherford, principal of the
Fletcher-Johnson Learning Center in Washington and TM practitioner himself
introduced TM into his school in 1994 and informed Condon that, thanks to TM,
Johnson has become a safe haven. Public charter school Nataki Taliba 
Schoolhouse
in Detroit teaches its students TM and the cost is covered by private grants and
corporate donations from companies such as Daimler-Chrysler and General Motors. 
The
private funding is helpful because it costs an average of $625 per student per 
year
to bring TM into the curriculum.

Despite the educational successes claimed by officials at Maharishi educational
institutions, concerns have been raised by some about issues of violence and 
drug
abuse. The IowaChannel.com reported on March 4, 2004 that Maharishi University 
of
Management (MUM) student Shuvender Sim, 24, of Lancaster PA, was charged with
first-degree murder and assault with intent to commit serious injury after the
stabbing death of fellow classmate Levi Butler, 19, of LaQuinta Calif. The 
attack
occurred in front of dozens of students in the campus dining hall. Sim was also
charged with a stabbing attack that occurred earlier in the day when he 
allegedly
stabbed a classmate in the cheek with a ballpoint pen during a class called 
Teaching
for Enlightenment. School officials intervened after this incident and said 
they had
handled the problem and reminded officials the MUM was a place of peace and
enlightenment. No one could determine what led to the assaults. Sim was 
arrested and
held on a $1 million dollar bond.

According to the report, Sim, a diagnosed schizophrenic, had been off his 
medication
for months when he stabbed the two students. According to a June 8, 2005 report 
in
the Des Moines Register, Prosecutors, and defense attorneys for Sim say that he
should be found not guilty of first degree murder because he was insane at the 
time
of the incident.

The confiscation of drug paraphernalia at MUM in April 2004 raised more eyebrows
among officials. Officers were called to the University when a campus security 
guard
found an indoor marijuana growing operation in a students room

That's about half of it, I'd say.  The other half is the substandard education most of the kids receive, the lack of qualified teachers, the complete failure to address any of the kids' problems, the lack of qualified administrators, etc.  Basically, the place sounds like it's being run like a glorified home-schooling program, with parents paying out-of-pocket (in addition to high tuition, of which half or so apparently goes to MMY) for private tutors.

To *creating* the TMO, not to helping the people
of the world.  The two are not the same.

The way I heard it:

Q: Maharishi, what about life after death?
A: I don't believe in it.
