[FairfieldLife] The TMO buys an Island for the real United Nations
...but if you want to attend the celebration, reserve soon! The Skye Lodge (a motel, really) only has 49 rooms. There is a link to Skye Lodge below Neil's letter. (Maybe the pundits can get visas more easily to enter Canada than the US??? We'll see.) Global Country of World Peace Canadian Administrative Office Tel: 613-839-9393 Fax: 613-839-9394 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] September 29th, 2005 Dear Enlightened Canadians, It is a very great joy to invite you to the Inauguration of the ÎGlobal Parliament of World Peaceâ to be held on Vijaya Dashami Day, the auspicious Victory Day in the most ancient calendar--the Vedic Calendar-October 12th, 2005, on the land of the rising sun for North America, the Maharishi Island of World Peace, off the coast of Nova Scotia. The Inaugural sessions of the Global Parliament of World Peace will be held over a four day period from October 12th to October 16th, 2005 at the scenic Skye Lodge situated in the town of Port Hastings, Cape Breton, overlooking the Canso Causeway; a 2 1/2 hour drive from Halifax. The Maharishi Island of World Peace, which is to be the permanent seat of the Global Parliament of World Peace, is situated on the east coast of Nova Scotia near Skye Lodge. On October 12th we will hold a ceremony on the island to raise the flag of the Global Country of World Peace and break ground for the first building of the Global Parliament. This ceremony will include a special televised address from Maharishi and His Majesty Raja Raam, as well as Vedic recitation and an ancient ceremony of the indigenous Micmac Band to welcome the establishment of the Global Parliament of World Peace on their ancient lands. Following this ceremony there will be a royal banquet at Skye Lodge for everyone.. On the following days, October 13th through 16th, we will hold the inaugural sessions of the Global Parliament in the conference centre at Skye Lodge. These sessions will be presided over by Maharishi, Raja Raam and various leaders of the Global Country of World Peace in person or via video conferencing from Holland. They will include presentations of the philosophy and programs of the Global Parliament for creating world peace and the programs of the eight ministries of His Majesty Raja Raamsâ Global Peace Government- Education, Health, Law, Agriculture, Architecture and City Planning Science and Technology, Finance and Planning, Invincibility and World Peace. Sessions will also include presentations on the Canada Peace Government as well as the planned development of Maharishi Island of World Peace, which is to include a 200 room conference center for the Global Parliament, a University of World Peace campus for 200 students and facilities for 121 Vedic Pandits. These four days will also give us the opportunity to come together from all across Canada to create greater peace and harmony in national and world consciousness through our group practice of Maharishiâs Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programs. Recently, Maharishi proclaimed that the Global Parliament of World Peace we are founding in Canada will be the ÎReal United Nationsâ. He said, ÎWhen the existing United Nations is struggling to reform itself, it is abundantly clear to the world that it has utterly failed in its mission to create and maintain world peaceâ. Therefore, Maharishi said, Îtime demands the creation of a new global body that has the knowledge to create world peace and can truly unite the world.â Maharishi also expressed his wish that, ÎCanada, a true peace-loving nation, should be the host country for a ãNew United Nations of World Peaceä that is founded by the peace-loving people of all nationsâ. He said, ÎIf the USA can host a United Nations, why not Canada? North America is one continent, but if one half is bent on destruction in the world, let the other half create real peaceâ. Maharishi then stated, ÎThe purpose of the Global Parliament of World Peace is to present the Constitution of the Universe to the world and the training programs for every country to have their politicians and administrators trained in this absolute system of administration, under the parental role of our global administration, so that suffering and problems belong to no one and peace, harmony, happiness, and fulfillment dominate the daily life of the people everywhereâ. We are extremely fortunate and blessed that Maharishi and His Majesty Raja Raam have chosen Canada to be a permanent seat of the Global Parliament of World Peace. Therefore, the enlightened citizens of Canada are being invited from across the country to come and participate in the historic founding of this new global organization. In addition, representatives from every nation in the world are being invited to attend, as well as parliamentarians and members of the diplomatic community in Ottawa.

[FairfieldLife] Letter from Canada...Recert course II postponed
Nice letter -- lots of information! The clearest explanation I've seen yet of the plans. Announcement For All Governors of the Age of Enlightenment The Starting Date for the Next Governor Recertification Course Has Been Rescheduled to June 22 to Allow More People to Attend Please send your e-mail to xxx to apply for the course The starting date for the next Governor Recertification Course has been changed to the full moon of June Wednesday, June 22, 2005. Maharishi would again like to give his full attention to the course, and it is being rescheduled so that the maximum number of participants will be able to attend and enjoy this precious opportunity to gain the latest knowledge and interact with Maharishi via live videoconference. As all the Governors who attended the last course will confirm, this is an incredible opportunity. To attend the next course it will be necessary to apply before June 7th. Maharishi would like to know how many will be attending 15 days before the course begins. There have been questions regarding the Governor Recertification Course and the activities of the newly recertified Governors. The information below is provided to answer those questions. What are the requirements for attending the next Governor Recertification course? This course is for Governors who will take responsibility for the Movements activities in a particular city. This means establishing a Maharishi Peace Palace or Maharishi Enlightenment Center and organizing to offer a full ranges of programs and services including education, health, global reconstruction, Vedic agriculture, and Vedic administration. The course is available to those who will be full-time in this important activity. Each applicant for the course must specify the city they will be taking. The course is no longer available to those who plan to return to positions with other Movement organizations including our universities and schools. What cities are available? To attend the course, you should indicate your five Peace Palace city preferences. Do I need special skills in advertising, finance, construction, and other fields to be the Director for a City? No special skills are needed. What you do need is the knowledge you will gain on the Governor Recertification Course. And you need to be committed to a city and to carry out the activities there. Everything for the Maharishi Enlightenment Centers and Peace Palaces is being organized centrally all the advertising, exhibitions, materials, financing, policies, etc. Even all the accounting is being done at a national level. What are the activities of the Director? The first is to do a long program and you will gain that instruction on the course. That is the basis for everything else you will be doing. The other activities are to lease space where programs and services will be offered, make arrangements with a secretarial service to answer the telephone, enter into an agreement with a major newspaper to carry advertisements twice a week, and to hire assistants to help you in each of the 5 program areas and licensed massage therapists to deliver the day spa programs. Then you will oversee these activities and provide the instruction in the Transcendental Meditation¨ program. What type of space will I rent and who will pay for the space? You will rent space where programs can be delivered immediately a Maharishi Enlightenment Center before the Peace Palace is built. This space may be in a mall, shopping center, office building, or hotel. It will include 10-12 rooms and be about 3,000 square feet. The costs of the secretarial service, leased space, and advertisements are paid for by the Global Country of World Peace. What responsibilities will I have for building the Peace Palace? The first thing is to find the land and get that approved. The land will be owned by Global Country of World Peace. Advertising will be prepared nationally for fundraising. You need to place the ads in the same way you place advertising for your programs. You may be asked to meet with a local bank about financing. Your Raja will give you information you need to do this. In the future, memberships, loans, or bonds may be offered. All the planning, materials, and legalities of this will be worked out at a national level. On the construction issue, all the Peace Palaces are standard designs and components will be ordered centrally and shipped to each Peace Palace location. You may be asked to submit the plans to the local government agency that issues building permits or to do other activities. But you will not be responsible for designing the Peace Palace or planning the construction. What is the compensation for a Director? The two directors for each city (one for ladies and one for men) who are graduates of the Governor Recertification Course and work full-time will receive each a salary of $4,000. This will
