Rick,

When I was on staff at Livingston Manor in 1973 a
meditator got pregnant.  Her boyfriend, who was an
initiator close to Maharishi, asked Maharishi about
abortion.  Maharishi at that time said that the soul
doesn't enter the body until 3 months after
conception.  She went ahead with the abortion.  



  

I thought it was the Indian belief that the soul enters the body on the 
first breathe (pran).

This is what I heard MMY say. Seems he changes his mind on the 
idea. I believe Tibetans say at conception. I'm sure everybody has their own 
opinion. So who is right? Does one err on the side of caution or on the side of 
convenience? If a society agrees that it begins at birth and the reality is that 
it begins at conception or somewhere in between, what is the karma for that 
society to sanction a law that kills the mostinnocent lives by the 
millions? Letting a few people make this decision for society can be dangerous. 
That's why I believe our founding fathers said that we derive our unalienable 
rights, among them Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happinessfrom our 
Creator, not from men. The right to life was considered an absoluteby 
our founding fathers.

I love it! Even MMY doesn't know ! He said at Amherst 
Mass. in the summer of 71 that it moved in at the first breath after birth. But 
I can see where M wouldn't want one of his initiators get caught up in child 
support payments when he could get that money for 
courses.
