A meta-analysis is a scientific procedure for drawing definitive conclusions
from large bodies of research. Such an analysis found Maharishi's
Transcendental Meditation technique produced a significant increase in basal
skin resistance compared to eyes-closed rest, indicating profound
relaxation.
Deep rest and relaxation were also indicated by greater decreases in
respiration rates and plasma lactate levels compared to ordinary rest. These
physiological changes occur spontaneously as the mind effortlessly settles
to the state of restful alertness.

- Now, why don't you respond to Mr. Tom Palls query?
When he asked: "why the Lil King Maker cannot get into the USA & India
& Switzerland?"
willytex
Tom who? Never heard of the guy. And, who says the Maharishi can't get into
Switzerland, India or the USA? Do you have any independent evidence from any
online Indian newspaper? You just spammed on yourself again!
Now, why didn't you respond to my query concerning your lack of
'independent' proof that Maharsihi was 'run out' of India by Rajiv Handi?
Because you don't have any proof?

Can you furnish any evidence for the assertion? I'm aware of civil lawsuits
pending in the US against MMY, so he might not WANT to set foot on US soil,
but thats different than "cannot get into."

In light of MMY's attacks on the US, I suspect he cannot get in based on
stricter guidelines on admission of potential terrorists and their
sympathizers.
If you are not against terrorism, you harbor them, according to our
president.

with terror" policies we're getting right now.

One hopes Tom is just trolling. If he's serious, he
needs to check in with a psychiatrist ASAP.

Or, as our commander-in-chief observed to a large audience
two days ago concerning Saddam Hussein (verbatim transcription):
"There's an old saying in Tennessee, I know it's in Texas,
probably in Tennessee, that says fool me once-- shame on--
shame on you... Fool me... We can't get fooled again."
So confidence-inspiring.

It's a toss-up as to which of them I'd rather see in the
position of leader of the free world.
Tom Pall
Thankfully, we won't have to choose. MMY's given us a king. It won't be a
free world. It'll be an oligarchy.
Tony has a son, doesn't he? Is his son prince and heir apparent?

Right, unfortunately we're stuck with Bush for the
next year and a half. But the way Bush is going,
we'll be lucky to make it to the next election.
You know, I take it back. Even given MMY's obvious
deficiencies as a political leader, I'd rather have
him in charge than Bush, simply because he's *curious*.
It's Bush's lack of curiosity, his appalling *shallowness*,
that gives me the shudders. If ever there was a time
when we needed a leader who was interested in learning
and expanding his viewpoint, it's now.
Nobody would mind Bush's dysphasia if there were the tiniest
indication that he'd ever had an original thought or insiight.
But it's as if his mind had atrophied before it ever had the
chance to mature. Essentially, we have a third-grader as
the head of the world's only superpower.
MMY's given us a king. It won't be a
> free world. It'll be an oligarchy.
If the kind of "oligarchy" MMY has in mind ever
takes power, it won't be an oligarchy headed by a
human being. And it'll be freer than you're
capable of imagining. Or that I am capable of
imaginging, for that matter.

As far as I'm aware, he's not married. He will have to *get*
married in the not-too-distant and produce an heir, if only to
fulfill his responsibilities as a householder. (A king is by
definition a householder.)
It's going to be up to him, after all, to appoint his own
successor.

Presidents don't have to be smart. Reagan was smart but a high concept man.
He delegated well. Bush has gone a long way fast. Just a few years ago he
didn't know which you get to first from the US: Spain, Italy or Greece.

Yup, and he's going to move in an reign in the Global Capital of the World,
now known as the Mansion, in Vedic City. Perhaps MMY will stop in to
visit?

I'm just going to let that sit there for folks to contemplate.
Reagan was smart but a high concept man.
> He delegated well.
At least he was a moderately good actor.
Bush has gone a long way fast. Just a few years ago he

My, how impressive.
