[FairfieldLife] Re: The Greeks had a word for it

Yes, the direct contact of the Greeks with the Indian yogis was an exciting 
moment in world history. Unfortunately however, the Greeks - and Western 
Civilization - had just embarked, with Aristotle and his Formal Logic, on a 
different developmental path, that precluded understanding of Indian thought, 
so those who were influenced by it were necessarily not the mainstream 
thinkers. That path led to our modern technological phase of civilization. It 
would take more than 2000 years, and Hegel with his Dialectics, for Western 
thought to take a decisive turn toward the Eastern. Maharishi's achievement of 
propagating TM  the West is one consequence of this turn.
