Yes, it does, and the people have a real *humanity* about them that people who have never lived there would never understand. The odd fellow I studied with -- Rama -- was the first to point it out to me. He helped us realize that the PR concerning the West coast vs. the East coast was completely backasswards from the reality. The general idea that most people are fed is that West coasters are open and friendly and that New Yorkers are cold. In reality, it's exactly the opposite. Much of California is in the "Hi, how are ya, what can you do for me?" mindset, whereas New Yorkers are a bit harsh on the exterior, but caring and wonderful once you scratch the surface. I reiterate my original point -- anyone who could live in the "village" that Maharishi designed would simply not be worth knowing. > Ever fly over Manhatten and see Central Park? Ever work down on Wall Street and have occasion to be there at 3:00 in the morning? A level of power that is remarkably like the highest power places I have ever been to.
