I was staying in Rendlesham just a few weeks ago. I really like the houses, they have a sense of lightness in them due to the windows in every direction and a nice big hall when you walk in that gives you a sense of space you don't get in the average semi.
The grid pattern takes some getting used to, my first thought is that the crime rates in SV developments are bound to be low because having all the windows line up like that makes you feel like you are being watched. I like the east facing front door though, it's a very pagan idea designed to let you know when the solstice has arrived so you can get your crops planted. And, standing in the front door, you can watch the sun rise behind the gate posts on the equinoxes. How cool is that? But is there anything magical about them? You'll have to go and see for yourself whether you get any sort of buzz out of the place. I think it depends on sensitivity to environment or maybe how well the TM mythos sunk in when you were exposed to it full time. I did get a really nice enlightenment experience when I was there but what to blame it on? The placement of planets compared to the position of rooms? I doubt it as the majority of that slide show is of the order of things that mean - if they are true- everything else we know has to be wrong. And that's an awful lot of physics and biology that has to go in the bin to account for me having a trippy time when on holiday in a nice part of the country! I think you should treat yourself to a weekend course and tell us what you think. http://uk.tm.org/web/suffolk/retreats http://uk.tm.org/web/suffolk/retreats http://uk.tm.org/web/suffolk/retreats http://uk.tm.org/web/suffolk/retreats http://uk.tm.org/web/suffolk/retreats Course Bookings REGISTRATION Click on this link for MORE INFORMATION SUGGESTED ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE TIME: Residential course...

It's odd how the TMO constantly veers between - on the one hand - scientific investigation of TM's effects, stress-release physiology, and natural healing for our psychology and - on the other hand - this occult stuff (like the sidhis) that must alienate the vast majority of those showing an interest in meditation. Unfortunately, my current place has an inauspicious south-facing entrance. That spells destructive influences, problems and suffering. They called that right! Aren't cities in the US based on the grid pattern? It's here in Europe that they are laid out higgledy-piggledy. Found this article singing the praises of disorder in city planning - "Long may chaos reign in our streets". http://tinyurl.com/lcwr7pz http://tinyurl.com/lcwr7pz
