 “I react to volatile markets much more calmly now,” Ford, 48, says. “I have 
more patience.”
 

His meditative experience was my reaction to the recent market volatility too 
as I watched it.  But his was also like an early experience I had as I started 
TM when I played ice hockey, where some guys sort of like that guy running for 
President would want to dramatically scrap and try to provoke fights, I'd just 
skate away in a space of equanimity and they would draw the time-out.  Making 
observation, hypothesis and testing it time and again it was remarkably 
replicable science.

 Soul Repair is a highly advanced spiritual healing and development process. 
Using Soul Repair will ensure continued realization of your higher soul nature 
in your daily life, leading to greater awareness, higher functioning and divine 
oneness at ever increasing levels. Soul Repair also leads to the development of 
discernment and deepening faith in divinity.

 Spiritual people say it works good.

 Like, where did all the money go?
 

 Who is TM now?

 Is Girish out of jail?  What was that all about?
 

 Other Q's people have?

 I'm skeptical of the rationale and underlying assumptions..
 Would one of the conclusions be "Transcending will make you happy and TM is 
the preferred method of transcending".  OK fine...let's see some evidence.
 Likewise, with the other claims.
 Will "transcending" offset bad karma.  Will it make people richer?.
 How about curing diseases?
 Make some real substantial claims followed by some good uncooked data; with 
perhaps a few citations of peer reviewed research by somebody outside of the 
TMO or MUM.
 If the claims are true, people in vast numbers should be flocking to a 
practice that has specified benefits.
 Will "transcending" help one in the midst of a Zombie Apocalypse?
 
 Will it extend one's lifespan?  (doesn't look like it in view of the stats 
coming from FF)
 

 Send Your Q's.. 
 I will aggregate Q’s from FFL and forward them on to the panel

to store tools. 
  
 The Center will evolve in three stages. The renovation, composting facility 
and irrigation lines will be incorporated in the first stage, with the planting 
of nut groves and orchards and installing an irrigation pond encompassing the 
second. The third stage includes prairie and woodland restoration along with 
the installation of a larger irrigation pond. Students enrolled in the 10 month 
program will each have a quarter acre of land to manage according to their 
particular business plans.
  
 The groundbreaking ceremony will feature local dignitaries, a discussion of 
the design and a program overview. The public is invited to attend."
 

 God, one day I would love to be known as a "local dignitary".

 Rates of Change.  The calculus of aging in TM.. 
 

 Some of what we can see in these lists is a natural aging-out of the Post-War 
Cohort, of the people who were early with Maharishi in the very early SRM 
movement,  the Walter Koch and Charlie Lutes generation of TM. 
 

 Now what we are seeing in TM is an accelerating rate of attrition to aging-out 
of the Boomer I and Boomer II’s.  Interestingly, the cusp time period where the 
Boomers I and Boomers II met was the time frame where TM took off in popular 
(college undergrad, grad student, professor-age) culture for a time.  A lot of 
the TM movement intake happened in those years 1968-76, over the cusp of the 
Boomers I and II.  
 

 You can see this particular cusp in the age span of meditators in the Dome or 
at campus meetings of the TM community now.  The WWII generation is pretty much 
gone from the ranks of TM now.  The Post-War Cohort are pretty gone or 
geriatric now and the Boomers I are increasingly shuffling or gone on.  Boomers 
II are increasingly ‘in diminish’.  Time is short regardless.  
 

 Post-War Cohort
 Born: 1928-1945
 Coming of Age: 1946-1963
 Age in 2004: 59 to 76
 Current Population: 41 million (declining)
 

 Boomers I or The Baby Boomers
 Born: 1946-1954
 Coming of Age: 1963-1972
 Age in 2004: 50-58
 Current Population: 33 million 
 

 

 Boomers II or Generation Jones
 Born: 1955-1965
 Coming of Age: 1973-1983
 Age in 2004: 39 to 49
 Current Population: 49 million
 

 

 

 For a long time the Baby Boomers were defined as those born between 1945 and 
1964. That would make the generation huge (71 million) and encompass people who 
were 20 years apart in age. It didn't compute to have those born in 1964 
compared with those born in 1946.
