He is the First Divine Ruler of Indonesia.

A frank evaluation of the performance of the IMF and World Bank indicates that they have not eradicated poverty at all. But they have overshadowed the sovereignty of nations, placed upon them heavy burdens of debt, and created chaos and social disorder. Maharishi University of Management has proposed a new approach to the eradication of poverty the coupon principle. In every poor nation there are vast tracts of unused fertile land, which have never been polluted by chemicals. This land could be developed to grow organic food for export to wealthy countries. To fund this development the government doesn¹t need to borrow from abroad. It just issues an alternative currencya couponand loans it to the project for the start-up costs, and to immediately improve the farmer¹s housing and living conditions. The coupon¹s validity is restricted to the locale of the project, and it lasts for only a three-year periodand thus inflation is avoided. When the first crop is exported and dollars are earned, the government coupon loan is repaid by the project in dollars. So today¹s government issued coupon becomes tomorrow¹s dollar in the National Treasury. The profitable organic food exports will ensure that the poverty of the whole nation is rapidly eliminated, as the world is going to need more and more organic food year after year, because of the pollution of the soil in the wealthy countries.

The movement ended up buying or trying to buy a big university in Manila called The University of the East - http://online.ue.edu.ph/manila/ The students werent told this was happening, but we stayed up late the night before it was to be announced, with Maharishi planning a festive welcome for them involving banners, colored lights, etc. When they got there, they freaked out. We were barricaded in our hotel for a month with angry mobs marching in the street below and banner headlines in the newspaper every day. The university still commemorates Maharishis ouster: http://online.ue.edu.ph/manila/religious.htm Were there alot of initiations? A fair number but not huge. Ads were placed for a TTC. I never read the ads but apparently they werent too clear, as many showed up who didnt know what they were getting into. They thought it was some sort of technical training that would lead to a good job. Most were initiated into TM when they arrived a the TTC. Many left, but many who stayed ended up becoming teachers. A few are still active. I made some good friends there. How long did you stay in the Philipinnes? 9 months. (The only thing that could remind me of is Nazi Germany, is that what you meant?)

What was he trying to acheive? I suspect his thinking was that dictators, unlike democratically elected leaders, would be able to order their governments to fund and promote national TM programs, making TM free to their citizens, maybe even requiring them to learn it. Once there was a sufficient number of people meditating in these countries, the Maharishi Effect would take hold and the countries' fortunes would noticeably improve, serving as a demonstration of what TM could do for any country. So the idea was to flatter the dictators as a way of getting them interested in TM. That's my guess...

Or, you could simply make TM available for free and promote the hell out of it, maybe give tax breaks or other perks to those who learn it. Maybe even *pay* them to learn.

That looks very interesting! The description mentioned that Maharishi hit upon plans that involved third world dictators. Does anyone know what that might be in reference to? I really identified with the author's background, since I also learned TM in the early 70's, lived in FF for 8 years, and visited briefly about 4 years ago. I also found the division in FF between the haves and haves nots, as he put it, to be rather disturbing. Living in Fairfield was without a doubt a wonderful and happy time for me, for the most part. It was pure magic, really. I guess you can't go home again, because after I visited, I knew I could never go back there. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, jyouells2000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Rick Archer groups@ wrote: http://www.amazon.com/Maharishi-Effect-Transformed-American- Spirituality\ /dp/ 1585425079/sr=1-1/qid=1159668118/ref=pd_bbs_1/104-8090990-2705568? ie=UTF\ 8s= books Or http://tinyurl.com/jal3q Website with excerpts http://www.geoffgilpin.com http://www.geoffgilpin.com and he has started a blog.

JohnY Guru reality Geoff Gilpin takes us inside a movement that transformed America's religious landscape Frank Bures on Friday 09/08/2006, Sitting at the Manna Café on Madison's north side, I look across the table at local author Geoff Gilpin and wonder. For 33 years, the tall, graying software consultant and technical writer has been meditating twice a day without missing a sitting. Back when he started, it was said it took only five to eight years to become enlightened. I may be sitting across from a higher being. I don't claim to be enlightened, says Gilpin, 53, of DeForest, whose new book on the Transcendental Meditation movement, The Maharishi Effect: A Personal Journey Through the Movement That Transformed American Spirituality (Tarcher) comes out next month. This sets me a little more at ease. Of course, he continues, people who do claim to have experiences of higher states of consciousness say that it's really nothing all that unusual, and you realized that you were there all along. It may be even a very mundane thing. What does that mean? I do a lot of mundane things every day. Probably 99% of what I do is mundane. Is it possible I, too, might be enlightened? I would love it if mowing my lawn were actually Nirvana. This sort of thing is hard to ascertain over an hour at a coffee shop, but for his part, Gilpin not only doesn't claim to be enlightened, but he doesn't claim to be able to do any of the things some of Maharishi's followers claim: levitate, read minds, become invisible, lower the crime rate, increase crop yield. These claims are exactly the kinds of things that made Gilpin want to go back and take a good hard look at the movement he used to be an integral part of. He has done this brilliantly in his new book, in which he casts a skeptical, if tender, eye on the path Maharishi and his followers have taken. Things were different when Gilpin first discovered TM. It was 1973, he was living in Green Bay and studying video production at a local tech school. One day, he stumbled on a poster with a picture of this Indian dude promoting something called transcendental meditation. Gilpin was instantly intrigued. It was a bright splash of color in the monochromatic Midwest of the time. It was the beginnings of globalization, says Gilpin now, looking back. People my age were beginning to realize there was more to music and literature and religion and spirituality than what we grew up with in our homes and schools. Today you can go down to the local music store and have your pick of 20 different Celtic bands and 20 different sitar players. When I was growing up, that was not the case. The world was opening up, and Gilpin wanted to let it all in, so he borrowed $35 dollars from his mom to take a course from a guy named Harry, who ran the Green Bay TM center. Maharishi was a marketing genius, says Gilpin. He packaged meditation like McDonald's hamburgers. He had it standardized to the point where in any city in America you could look up meditation in the phone book and find one of his TM centers. His people wore suits and ties. He made it acceptable to Mr. and Mrs. Middle America. Before long, Gilpin was on a plane to Santa Barbara, Calif., where he enrolled in Maharishi International University. He followed the school when it moved to Fairfield, Iowa (where it's still located, now called Maharishi University of Management). A few years later, and perhaps a little more enlightened, Gilpin left Iowa and moved on to other things, working computer and programming jobs around Wisconsin. After settling in Madison in the early 1990s, in an early instance of Internet dating, he met a woman from Chicago named Sarah. The two started corresponding, and before long she moved to the Madison area, where they both still live today. In 1999, Gilpin opened one of the many mailings he still got from the movement, but found something he'd never seen before. It was Maharishi's Final Warning to the United States. This didn't sound like the yogi he'd known. If the U.S. didn't stop bombing places like Yugoslavia, Maharishi warned, soon bombs would start falling on Washington and New York. I'd never seen anything like that before, says Gilpin. I realized something was going on there. But if things had changed in the movement, they had also changed for Gilpin. By the late '90s, he'd maxed out his computing ambitions. He was happily married, but something wasn't quite right. So he decided to go back to school and get a Master of Fine Arts in writing

Maharishi University of Management, Holland Celebrates the Dawn of a New World Order of Peace the Rise of Perfection in World Politics and Economy Four Nations Identified as Embodying the Cardinal Qualities of an Ideal State An Historic Day of Great Celebration for the World Today, Maharishi University of Management celebrates the dawn of a New World Order of Peace, as demonstrated by the invincibility of President Fidel Castro of Cuba, the freedom of President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, the Divine Rulership of President Abdurrahman Wahid of Indonesia, and the casting off of corrupt democracy by President Robert Guei of the Ivory Coast. These four Heads-of-State are four great forerunners of a forthcoming New World Order of Peace. The present strength of their leadership is the first visible effect of improvement in the administration of nations. Their special qualities of ideal leadership demonstrate a rise in the world of Global Administration through Natural Law, and foreshadow a time soon to come when every nation will be sovereign, self-sufficient and invincible, yet will be united with all other nations in a world family enjoying perpetual peace. During the past forty years, nine American Presidents have tried to overthrow or kill Fidel Castro, and have failedhe has demonstrated invincibility in the face of a giant nation of vast destructive military power. President Robert Mugabe has stood firm against the hypocritical threats of Zimbabwes former colonial master, and reminded Britain that Zimbabwe is not their colony anymore. He has demonstrated freedom, and stood against the savage depredations of the colonial past. President Wahid, the first President honored as a saint by his people, has brought into the world of politics the qualities of purity, tolerance, harmony, and devotion to God. He is the First Divine Ruler of Indonesia. President Guei has thrown off the faulty and corrupt democratic system imposed on so many nations by their former imperial overlords, and which has led only to chaos and plundering of the nation by an elite, while the poor remain pressed under the weight of their misery. The world is awakening to the reality that the old order is passing, and a New World Order of Peace is dawning. The new order will be characterized by these very qualities of the four Presidentsinvincibility, freedom, divine rule, and the transformation of corrupt and failing democracies into governments that unify and nourish on the basis of the support of the evolutionary power of Natural Law. A Sovereign Government Accepts A New Principle for the Eradication of Poverty without Foreign Debt There is a yet another cause for celebration todaythe sovereign government of Zimbabwe has accepted a new principle to eradicate poverty without the need for ruinous foreign loans. A frank evaluation of the performance of the IMF and World Bank indicates that they have not eradicated poverty at all. But they have overshadowed the sovereignty of nations, placed upon them heavy burdens of debt, and created chaos and social disorder. Maharishi University of Management has proposed a new approach to the eradication of poverty the coupon principle. In every poor nation there are vast tracts of unused fertile land, which have never been polluted by chemicals. This land could be developed to grow organic food for export to wealthy countries. To fund this development the government doesnt need to borrow from abroad. It just issues an alternative currencya couponand loans it to the project for the start-up costs, and to immediately improve the farmers housing and living conditions. The coupons validity is restricted to the locale of the project, and it lasts for only a three-year periodand thus inflation is avoided. When the first crop is exported and dollars are earned, the government coupon loan is repaid by the project in dollars. So todays government issued coupon becomes tomorrows dollar in the National Treasury. The profitable organic food exports will ensure that the poverty of the whole nation is rapidly eliminated, as the world is going to need more and more organic food year after year, because of the pollution of the soil in the wealthy countries. It is a simple, self-sufficient scheme to eradicate poverty without foreign debt, and today the Ministers of the Government of Zimbabwe have applauded and accepted this principle. Building Maharishi Vedic University at Mosi-oa-TunyaVictoria Fallsa New Spiritual Center of Africa There is yet one more reason to celebrate todaythe signing of an agreement
