For scholars who are looking in on Fairfield Life, there is a FFL post that includes part of the written INTRODUCTION to the Collected Papers Volume I. That text as an introduction essay and the PREFACE written by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi published in the Collected Papers are possibly some of the most important writings of the 20th Century to review, along with the weight of the collected papers. Our hardened and skeptical neganauts here on FFL would never admit this fact but it is true and rich in perspective now by history. -Buck in the Dome

The “Collected Papers” though not as well known as the Auto-biography of a Yogi (1946) or Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-Tung (1966) though none the less, the Collected Papers (1976) was similarly transforming in scope. -Buck ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <Buck> wrote: “Given the strength of these results, their consistency with the positive results of previous research, the grave human and financial costs of violent crime, and the lack of other effective and scientific methods to reduce crime, policy makers are urged to apply this approach on a large scale for the benefit of society.” Effects of Group Practice of the Transcendental Meditation Program on Preventing Violent Crime in Washington, DC: Results of the National Demonstration Project, June-July 1993 http://www.istpp.org/crime_prevention/index.html http://www.istpp.org/crime_prevention/index.html Published in Scientific Research on the Transcendental Meditation Program Collected Papers Volume I (1976) ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <Buck> wrote: Well you see, according to the science, having numbers of people meditating together does evidently matter. Numbers and proximity. That makes a lot of sense in my experience too. Like, just look at the science on meditation now. Folks here should sober up really quick. Farmers are practical scientists and as an Iowa farmer I must make decisions all the time everyday based on the science of nature. By science it seems it is certainly time for a Compulsory National Service Campaign towards creating a compulsory peace between us and nature, by everyone taking the quiet time for meditating. Every day twice a day. I feel people who would reject this are anti-social in the least. -Buck ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <Buck> wrote: Frankly, I can't see why people would live here in Fairfield, Iowa and not go to the Domes to meditate. That, not making the time in life to meditate in the Dome with the group, is just an incredibly lost opportunity in a lifetime. -Buck
