Ok. Just saw Mark's clarification post, so scratch step number 6 below. For now. :-)
However, has anyone considered the possibility that the entire theory behind Maharishi Sthapatya-Veda is WRONG? Not just WRONG, but completely BACKWARDS, and that what living and working in a building designed in accord- ance with MSV principles actually does is to REDUCE the intelligence of the inhabitants? I mean, think about it. The majority of the patently insane ideas coming out of the TM movement have come about since its leaders began living and working in such buildings. I'd say that, based on the TM movement itself, there is probably more credible evidence that MSV is a BAD idea than there is that it is a good idea.
