Maharishi’s real destination on leaving India was the United States. An American had heard one of his talks and urged him to go to America, that his teaching would really catch on there. Maharishi felt also that if he could popularize meditation in the most progressive and creative country on earth, it would surely accelerate expansion of the practice elsewhere in the world. But getting to America — or anywhere, for that matter — was solely determined by the degree of support he could muster. His Indian followers paid his air passage to Burma. From there he made his way east slowly: Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Hawaii. In each place he managed to interest some individuals who then spread the word. Lectures were arranged in homes, halls, temples, and Maharishi initiated those who were interested. But the numbers were small. Modest centers were established, perhaps in someone’s home, but frequently to stop functioning once Maharishi had left. Homes and temples were opened to him and money raised to see him off to his next destination. Occasionally, a well-to-do new meditator would pay for his plane ticket. It was the beginni...

Description Details
This book is the first of a series that considers the many aspects of reality. I call it ‘It all starts from within’ because reality starts with each of us individually and independently. It starts from our inner self before evolving into what I would call the collective reality, meaning a generally agreed upon state in which groups of people, entire nations, or the whole world believe. That reality includes beliefs, cultures, ideologies, etc. As we change and adapt to our environment, our reality changes as well. New realities emerge… Chapter one is about perception and our senses. It demonstrates how perception is impossible without our senses. Whatever angle of reality that’s being analyzed, one or more of our senses plays a momentous role in its understanding… Chapter two considers the role of the brain in the making of reality. It delves into how the brain can make the mind behave a certain way under certain circumstances… Chapter three looks at the mind, which I call the ultimate maker of reality. This chapter describes the mind as that intangible component of the brain and where reality or all realities stem from after, of co...

If this year was the year 202018, meaning 200,000 years from now and I was writing about reality, where would I begin? What would be the basis that I would use for my arguments? Would I still be able to talk about philosophy, psychology, art, mathematics, chemistry, physics and quantum mechanics? Would I be able to talk about the brain and the mind the same way I do today? Would I be able to speculate about life and death? Would these topics still be relevant in the grand scheme of things? 200,000 years from now, would it still be necessary to speculate about reality anyway? Although the answers to such questions can be either ‘may be’ or ‘may be not’, one thing is certain: 200,000 years from now, humans, if we’re still around, will be different, so different that the disparity will be similar to an insect’s egg and the final stage of its metamorphosis: an imago, the larva and pupa stages being in between. Well, in terms of reality, when the first Homo Sapiens emerged 200,000 years ago, he had no idea what reality would be like today in 2018. His reality was limited to trying to survive in a harsh environment. He had to first learn ...

Description Details
This is a book containing a revolutionary idea about understanding society, human behaviour, history, anthropological features and many other aspects of human beings. The basic understanding that is being put forward is that languages, which are the software for human communication, are powerful media, which not only can help in communication, but also does contain extremely powerful designs and programs, which literally design all societies. Languages are actually powerful machines that can create a definite and pre-definable pattern, along which all human beings arrange themselves, to form different societies. Different type of languages forms different type of societies. For instance, a group of persons who think and talk in Tamil would form a society, which would have remarkable Tamil features, and identifiable behaviour patterns. A group of persons who do the same thing in Spanish would display definite Spanish looks, demeanour, behaviour and social pattern and arrangement. An English speaking society would be having its own definite looks and, also a very easily identifiable interpersonal interaction configuration....

A QUOTE from this book about what is in the offing for the USA as feudal languages enter inside the social system: QUOTE: Yet the continuous and incessant bombardment of alien cultural ideology embedded in feudal languages, could create experiences, which are not English and will lead USA to social tensions. Though the extreme emotional disturbances, it causes would be understood as racial feelings and colour discrimination, the real reasons could be the strange, and disturbing social restructuring that is being forced on an easy going English society. Ordinary, peaceful persons would react violently to alien disturbing cultural signals, which are disturbing, and at the same time difficult to understand. With callous indifference, one can claim that America is the melting pot of cultures. If full melting does take place, and an English mould is formed, it is all right. However I have fears that with this severe influx of alien cultures that come with a package of virus software, a stage may come, at least, in certain areas, where the innate resilience of the English structure may be severely tested; and cause much distress to...

A former mathematical physicist, who is both experienced in theory and experimental science--working for both the U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force--provides a scathing investigation into the fundamental premise supporting belief in Climate Change. Analysis proves a frequent blunder made in thermodynamics, common to both children and history, where heat is wrongly perceived a "thing" and imbued with associative properties. This common misconception about heat and how it works leads to a conclusion fatal for Climate Change theory, at least, in the opinion of the author....

Excerpt Details
It is indeed a rare occurrence to encounter so grave a philosophy as occasioned by Climate Change, especially, within our Science; but, to be afforded an opportunity, so fortuitous, to enable overturning accepted theory is even rarer still. If one should allay, if only momentarily, hysteria conjured up by those more dire prognostications of this rather dreary eschatology, one should find their intellect free to reckon with a rather foolish error. There, at the heart of this turgid mess, lay its Achilles’ heel, the Greenhouse Effect, which is its cornerstone premise and simultaneously its fateful undoing. It is by a childish error in judgment concerning heat that this troubling theory rest, a common misconception shared by elementary students, and is reminiscent of that now defunct and discredited theory of heat, the Caloric Theory. It is not to say, once understood, all mankind be exonerated, necessarily, from both his individual and collective behavior, which often affects environment, Self and Other so detrimentally; contrary, proper understanding does promise a more sober perspective towards what is more likely Man’s influence up...

The Magna Carta of 1215, signed between the Barons of the English polity and the King was also an attempt to restore harmony at a higher level, among and within the governing strata rather than directed strictly at the public good. Napoleonic codes, to a certain extent---whether influenced by the American declarations or not--(not forgetting the Swedish example), followed the thought that it was necessary for the government to spend part of the tax income toward constructing state infrastructure such as roads, ports, and so on. This construction of the infrastructure was meant to stimulate the economy, so that more income would yield greater tax receipts, as well as organizing the polity for future wars. It was recognized, by experience, that the increasing cost of fighting wars, defensive or offensive, required maximum use of all available resources. And, the state---or the ruling strata--- could not accomplish that task alone; participation of the members of the polity was imperative, with or without their consent....

3. Role of technology in the human conflict between authoritarianism and pluralism A short overview of authoritarianism and pluralism may be beneficial: Authoritarian governance system comes in several flavors, and can be organized around a belief system (Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Confucianism, et al); a social order (communism, socialism, mercantilism); military leadership (juntas of various degrees and social orientations); philosophical strain (utopianism, stoicism, realpolitik, opportunism); or, commercial interests (mercantilism, capitalism, ‘mixed’ economy). The ruling strata of an authoritarian society is usually very small, and seldom allows participation of any kind from the masses it controls. It is generally inflexible and doctrinaire, seeks to impose a particular set of rules on the society no matter what the cost. Pluralism, on the other hand, has rarely achieved a wide-spread application in the practical sense. Republicanism and democracy came closest, but not entirely. True pluralism would allow for all the voices in a polity equal hearing. This aspect makes pluralism a highly contentious system,...

In this case, we may even surmise, more than one system, given the proliferation of space technology among nations of diverse backgrounds. That also means there will be more than one culture, as well as Governance method. Does that herald a clash of cultures and Governance modes? At that point, it becomes necessary to spend some overview time, looking at the behavior on Earth....

It can be argued that the primary use of history is to learn the lessons from the experiences of the past human polities. The familiar timeline that is usually attached to historical study is necessary in order to know the flow of events in the proper sequence. The lessons will be skewed if Reformation is considered before Christ. Then comes the most critical of the steps; how those lessons are identified and learned. Perhaps it is easier to notice a lesson than learning it. Since history is the record of humans, the learning of the historical lessons can be very problematic. Humans tend to believe what they wish. They can create images in their minds, and propagate that image in media even when no such event was recorded anywhere. As one result, the wrong lessons may be learned from the historical record. And those wrong lessons, in the hands of overly ambitious leadership teams can lead to disaster; not only to nations, but also to the world. Libraries and bookstores are full of volumes showing what happened in the aftermath of a historical lesson incorrectly learned....

3. According to my records, this effort was begun in 1983. In the ensuing years, I filled close to a dozen notebooks on various aspects of identity. For the first sixteen years of this process, the primary idea was to better understand the nature of the subject. 4. While teaching courses on World History and Intercultural Studies in four different universities, perceptive student questions on these topics further stimulated the process. 5. What finally persuaded me to organize these notebooks, to the extent presented here, was the realization that most if not all discussions of identity in print have been applied cases. 6. I, too, produced works on applied identity in the past. Some even appeared in print in various countries on three continents. 7. After reading the latest commentaries on applied identity studies, a thought presented itself that a more general discussion might be beneficial to all concerned regardless of the discipline, nationality, ethnicity or any other concern. ...

1. There are always Secret Identities in every polity. 2. The purpose of constituting a secret identity is to escape the prevailing rules in the environment in which the identity is established. 3. Some secret identities are regular identities, forced underground by the dominant identity. 4. Some secret identities are formed to gain advantage over other identities in the same polity. 5. Further secret identities are formed in order to secure the interests of the governance strata. 6. No secret identity can remain secret forever. Most, if not all, attributes of a secret identity will be uncovered in time; be it belief system, commercial, official or any other. 7. Whatever reason may have impelled the formation of a secret identity, left entirely unchecked and un-audited, it will corrupt itself. 8.

Transcendental Meditation is a coined term for an ancient teaching dating back to the earliest records of human experience. It is a sacred science which heretofore has been reverently guarded and imparted by Masters only to the most trusted, favored and zealous students. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the founder and the inspirational leader of the world-wide Transcendental Meditation movement, has broken the exclusive tradition and brought this ancient teaching to the mundane world in response to the tumultuous times in which we live. This book explores this ancient teaching in light of its application to sales development training. Part I provides an introduction and orientation to the essence of the wise teachings and shows how this essence is the single key required for the personal development of a salesman. Part II discusses how, through the practice of the TM-Sidhi program, people can accelerate their personal development towards unfolding a state of consciousness called cosmic consciousness, or enlightenment Mind is the ultimate frontier and contains the greatest potential power.

From: Chapter 3, Positive Thinking is Not Enough . . . It is my conviction that this premise of thinking positive in order to be positive is wrong, and therefore, will produce limited results. Being positive does not result from thinking positive. Thinking positive comes from being positive. The effect comes from the cause and not vice versa. I realize that I must be stepping on a lot of toes, but follow along with me for a while as I develop this theme and you will discover the shortcoming in the positive thinking approach to achieving success. Certainly, benefits have been experienced from positive thinking programs. However, when positive thinking is not natural, but forced, the results, at best, will be limited, temporary, and self-deluding. It is like putting the cart before the horse. Some progress will be made. However, a broader perspective of the mechanics of progress will conclude that maximum progress will be made when the horse is placed before the cart. Similarly, we must first be positive and then we will think positive. So being precedes thinking. And thinking is the basis for action. Before you can act there must be...

In 1959 Maharishi Mahesh Yogi founded the Spiritual Regeneration Movement Foundation to enable everyone to experience God through the practice of Transcendental Meditation. Maharishi appointed Charles Lutes as president of this organization. Charlie was a man of God and he spoke about God. Charlie described Transcendental Meditation as the highest teaching because it is through the continued practice of this technique that one is able to infuse the Being (God) into ones mind and body and thereby become united with God. Charlie often stated that humans are spiritual beings with a spiritual destiny, and through his own spiritual development he illustrated the efficacy of the practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique as a means to awaken to this destiny. Charlie was a living example about that which he spoke. Charlie was a spiritual Master in his own right. The 108 lectures in this book were gleaned from over one-thousand inspirational lectures which Charlie had delivered spanning over twenty years, from the 1970s to the 1990s. Although Charlie’s lectures were written for and delivered to an audience of practitioners of th...

From Lecture No. 18, The Battlefield within the Mind" The human mind is the battlefield where untutored impulsive and conscious forces are warring against altruistic forces. Sometimes good dominates and then vice versa. We go from good to bad and bad to good in a constant and unending struggle. We constantly move from one opposite to the other, from hate to love, from truth to untruth, and so forth. When the lower forces in the mind dominate, the higher or divine forces become subordinate to the lower forces. Nobody is totally good or totally bad. We are a composite of good and bad; some things good and some things not so good. As we strive to improve ourselves temptations are continually placed before us. Often we fail the tests and we create misery for ourselves, but slowly we learn as we go from test to test and lesson to lesson. Sometimes along the path of life we begin to realize that there must be some way to find true guidance and support in our long and weary battle for happiness and peace of mind. We realize that the flesh is weak and that by ourselves we are not strong enough to overcome. We seem to be constantly pulled...

What is the secret of one of the most powerful men who ever lived? Solomon, son of King David, was the third king of Israel and lived during the tenth century BC. He became famous because of his great wisdom and wealth, higher than any other king on earth who lived before and after him. His reign was long (about 40 years), full of peace and prosperity. And even without war, he received the voluntary tribute of all neighboring kingdoms (according to some chronologies, 971-931 BC). Today, we studied the route and the history of all those who achieve success, regardless of their area of expertise. And we can learn about their methods and strategies that led them to achieve success. However, I consider fundamental: study the life and work of one of the most successful men ever.Harv Eker in his book "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind" reveals that when he was in a particularly difficult time, received the following advice that changed his life: "If you thought the way rich people do and did what rich people do, do you believe you ...

What, who, where, when, why, and how are probably the immediate questions to which you’d like to have answers if you’re reading this essay. If you’ve read the section entitled My life, I’m assuming you already have an idea regarding the first four questions and you’re more interested in the last two. Let me start by saying there is no simple and clear-cut answer to any of these questions. But, before I get to the above-mentioned questions, I’d like to take the opportunity to say what this essay is, meaning what kind or what form of essay is it, in addition to being philosophical in terms of content. As far as the form is concerned, it’s two-pronged. First, it’s a dialectic essay. On the several topics addressed, I present a thesis – short but to the point – and an argument. Then I attempt to object to my own argument, to which I object with a counterargument, but then I counter the counterargument with a final and new argument. This is a technique called Chinese dragon strategy. Second, the essay is critical. Like the work itself, my arguments, although protean, revolve around a recurring issue: suffering and pain. The four noble tr...

One of the most highly debated matter in education today is that if every individual is unique and have their own personal interests and abilities, then why do we force them down with the same syllabus and measure them on a certain criteria of writing what they memorized on a piece of paper? While this question has no easy solutions and consequently the existing system of evaluating students will probably remain the same in near future, there is however a narrow path that bypasses this system and lets students pursue and shine in the fields they truly like. The views on extracurricular is also equally conflicting- some see it as way a way of recreation, others are quick to reject and see it as nothing more than mere wastage of time. So taking both sides on account, let’s take a look at how important are extracurricular for students, if at all: ...

1. Recreation The first and the most popular benefit that people know of extracurricular is that they are good for recreation. While this notion is correct to some extent, there is a lot left to be added. The world extracurricular envelops a vast number of activities (not related to the curriculum of students) including but not limited to painting, dancing, sports, music, pottery, among others. While the notion of recreation may apply to some of this activities like sports, there are other activities that are in themselves more time consuming and intricate than the curriculum itself and done solely out of interest and not recreation. Also, there are students who are truly interested in studies and forcing them to recreate is as good as wasting their time and energy. 2. Aptitude Often overlooked by many, this is a major importance of extracurricular that helps shape and affirm one’s aptitude. We can tell a lot about any student if we know the extracurricular they take part in. Since these activities are done out of interest than compulsion, things they learn and achieve sticks with them for longer times and eventually shapes ...

PROLOGUE 1. The purpose of this discourse is to make assumptions, provide generalized statements and explanations based on facts, raise awareness and with some imagination provide a thoretical concept for an abstract direction. 2. The manifesto is a selective aggregate of capitalism, socialism and communism. It adheres to utilitarianism while recognizing the human condition. The requirement of some form of rules and regulations are generally agreed as necessary. However, the term “government” in this manifesto refers to the people and not a disparate entity. 3. The planet is ecologically and environmentally sagging under the weight of the humanity’s footprint. Therefore, a proposal of fundamental adjustments, including the redistribution of the human populous with disregard to the axiological, is necessary for sustainability. 4. There is a substantial economic and literary contrast amongst the people of the world due to the restrictions imposed on the freedom of movement. One of the objectives is to propose an egalitarian alternative to eliminate this disparity. 5. Establishment of interdependence rather than independence albe...

Excerpt Details
Panendeism (or pan-en-deism), pronounced pænˈenˈdeɪˈĭzˈəm, is derived from the Greek pan (πᾶν), meaning all, en (ἐν) meaning in, and deus (Δεύς), meaning god. The earliest known use of the term was in 1995 by Jim Garvin, a Korean War veteran and Catholic turned Trappist monk. Garvin described his concept of deity as being similar to the "all-pervading Great Spirit" of the Native Americans, and called it "Pan-en-deism."...

The Therapy is energy based in the following easy to use Parts: 1 – Getting Started Involves clearing out harmful energy in the processes and systems closer to the surface of the body and filling them with beneficial energy. This will help conditions such as some types of asthma, migraine, rheumatoid arthritis, allergies, hyperactivity and so on. Conditions caused by living in a polluted environment. 2 – Beginning Deeper Therapy These methods will help strengthen the deeper functions and the emotional and mental state. 3 – Going Deeper Help for pain relief and mental functions. 4 – Cells Cells contain energies that give rise to inherited conditions and this energy takes time to get out and time to supply the cells with energy to restore health so perseverance is important. The method for all conditions is basically the same: drawn out harmful energy and supply beneficial energy the body and immune system can use to restore health, only the materials used change. It's new and different, but hopefully you will give it a try and receive substantial benefit. Nothing can be promised but relief should start a few days after usi...

Only harmful environmental energy by-products, mainly from insects and the burning of fossil fuels, that's not life supporting is drawn out of a person by The Therapy. The Therapy is helped in this drawing out process by a person’s immune system which helps release the harmful energy by-products, ensuring that no life supporting energy is released. The energy by-products from fossil fuels not only does harm when in people it also takes up space blocking life supporting energy from getting in, so the first step towards health is to remove it which is what Part 1.1 of The Therapy does. It also draws out harmful insect energy trapped in the energy system of a person. The 2 main underlying acquired energy problems damaging health are: energy by-products from fossil fuels and the energy of insect bites and consumed insect material. These are the main supporting factors in many chronic conditions which The Therapy aims to remove and they inhabit the body’s functions and process not the cells. Other factors such as contaminated bacteria and mains electrical energy play a part, but the main factors are harmful energy by-products ...

It is said by none other than, Jesus, that we are the sheep. Interestingly, a first born sheep is called a Firstling. With this I call you back to whom it was that Abel killed, it was in fact—the firstlings. So if we are the sheep, and a firstborn sheep is called a firstling, then it only stands to reason that it was, Kane (original Sumerian spelling), who was attacked by Abel....

Madam Amanda Valiant was offering the information in this book as a correspondence course but she passed to the highest realms whilst working on the monthly lessons. Each of the sixteen lessons has formed the content of a different chapter in the book that was completed by Alan Valiant, Amanda's husband. Amanda and Alan, after developing a unique method of communication with the spiritual world, were spoken to by the Lord God and Jesus Christ and were subsequently able to talk to them at any time. Many people believe that God is unapproachable, but if He spoke to people in biblical times, why should He have stopped in modern times? The fact is He has NOT! Unlike most mediums, Amanda was able to discuss any subject with her spiritual advisors using our advanced techniques. Scripts by God, Jesus Christ, Moses, Ezekiel, and many other High Spiritual Beings were received by spirit writing, usually called automatic writing but which is not automatic as it originates in the mind of the communicant and is received by telepathy. Moses, now a Gardener of The Earth, gives ten rules for modern living, Jesus Christ explains his disappearance af...

Exploring the secrets of the Universe as far as physics can go, and even beyond.. Along with its Vedantic integration. This book is has two sections. The first section is a work in physics which presents an in-depth exploration of Avyakta - the hidden metaphysical reality behind the apparent universe - through scientific study. A condensed version of this part has been published in the Prespacetime Journal Vol 7 Issue 16 on 08/01/2017, titled "Avyakta" The Fabric of Space". (Prespacetime Journal (ISSN: 2153-8301), QuantumDream, Inc., P.O. Box 267, Stony Brook, NY 11790-0267, USA; is a physics journal which focuses on the origin, nature and mechanism of space-time and its possible connection to a prespacetime; and models and experimental results on elemental particles, fundamental forces including gravity and related topics.) The second section of the book presents in-depth study of cosmology in Vedanta, as outlined in verses from the Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads. The discussions shed light on many previously unknown levels and aspects. Since God cannot be considered in physics due to lack of experimental evidence, this sec...
