Just heard a plop at my apartment door. Upon investigating, found a
44 page! tabloid newsprint (11" X 15") flyer from the Natural Law Party,
with their platform, etc. The bio on Doug Henning (candidate in my
riding of Rosedale) constantly refers to him as "Dr.". Upon reading, I
find that "Dr. Henning recieved his doctoral degree in the Science of
Creative Intelligence from Maharishi European Research University,
Switzerland."
I will be looking at it later, if I can, - it tends to make one's eyes
glaze over. Henning talks of "my dear Canadians and my dear Canada".
"Our national life will be in harmony with Natural Law, and every
Canadian will enjoy peace, happiness, and prosperity" Later on - "The
Natural Law Party is the only party that has proven scientifically its
ability to fulfil this supreme aspiration and create a government that
functions in accord with Natural Law, which is the will of God."
The thing is full of small print, and here is a part of what I found
when I looked up The constitution of the universe" (as revealed by modern
science and acient vedic science):
"As with the structure of the Ved, the Lagrangian of the
superstring can be seen in various stages of unfoldment. The most
compact presentation of the string dynamics is provided by the
ten-dimensional formulation of the heterotic string (L^10). IN addition to the purely
bosonic modes associated with the abstract spacespace-time arena in which
the string moves, the mathematics reveals precisely eight fundamental
fermionic degrees of freedom intrinsic to the string itself - the
unique solution allowed by mathematical andquantum-mechanical
consistency of the theory. THese eight fundamental modes of the string
correspond, in Vedic terminology, to the eight Prakritis - the
fundamental qualities of the unified field of consciousness. As in the
structure of the Ved, these eight fundamental nodes admit three
interpretations corresponding to Rishi (Observer quality),
Devatat(dynamism quality), and Chhandas(observed quality), consistent
with the quantum-mechanical structure of the theory: (1) Each of the
fields ( capital Psi with superscript of i=1...8) above defines a
particular perspective in abstract Hilbert space(Rishi), i.e. their
eigenvectors form a basis in Hilbert space which can be used to expand
and interpret any other state. (2) Each of the fields(Psi^i=1...8) is an
operator (Devata) which creates and destroys specific states in Hilbert
space (3) each of the symbols (Psi ^i=1...8) also denotes a particular
vibrational mode or state (Cchandas) in Hilbert space, created or
destroyed by its corresponding operator. With these three
interpretations afforded by the qauantum principle, one obtains the
identical 3 X * = 24-fold structure corresponding to the first richa
(verse) of the Rik Ved."
Wow! I wonder if Jack Sarfatti was a staff writer!
Oh, here's something at the bottom of page 8:
MAXIMUM COHERENCE IN BRAIN FUNCTIONING DURING YOGIC FLYING
Has a picture of three flers in mid hop, chart of heart rate &
EEG showing that there is a peak at the moment of "lift", and some more
bafflegab underneath such as "Yogic flying demonstrates perfect
mind-body coordination and is correlated with maximum EEG coherence,
indicating maximum orderliness and integration of brain functioning."
Now, get this, in next sentence : " Even in the first stage of Yogic
flying, when the body lifts in a series of short hops, this practice
produces bubbling bliss for the individual and generates choherence,
positivity, and harmony for the environment."
On opposite page is a photo of a crowd with White House in far
background, captioned "National Demonstration Project for A Group for A
Government - when 4,000 Yogic flyers gathered in Washington, D.C. during
June-July 1993, violent crime decreased by 25 percent below predicted
levels and U.S. governmental achievements improved."
In section under health care are charts showing reduction of
cholesterol, optimization of brain function, lower blood pressure,
increased intelligence, and improved health through Maharishi Ayur-Ved.
Under defence: INVINCIBILITY FOR CANADA
There is a picture of a bar magnet and field lines under MEISSNER
EFFECT, and comparison of ordinary conductor & superconductor. Then a
drawing of Canada protected by the "Maharishi Effect Creating an
invisible armour for the nation"
Well, there's more about the many areas of government, & a lot
more about "physics", too. I've liberated some extra copies. I'd say there
is text equivalent to over a 100 page paperback in here.
If you want a copy:
It weighs about 125 g, meaning it will cost $1.35 to mail inside
Canada ,$2.10 to the States, and $4.75 foreign, first class. Please
Email me if you want one, and I will send you my snail mail address if a
copy is available. I will take 2$ U.S. in bills, for simplicity, from
Americans, or a couple of 1.44 disks (for IBM PC Clone) full of general
skeptical articles/material (excepting The Skeptical Review which is
only Bible-oriented) and will mail before recieving compensation. Am
also looking for Fractint v18.2 and hi-res scenic (up to 1024*768
pictures*256) of nature, or skeptic-related (such as purported
UFOs/crop circles etc.) Overseas a money order or 5$ in U.S. or Canadian
bills only, in advance. (I will reserve a copy). I have 6 copies to send
out.
