2/3. Buckminster Fuller and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Part Two of Press Conference

Maharishi and Buckminster Fuller Press Conference, Amherst, July 22 1971. Part 2 Symposium on the Science of Creative Intelligence, Buckminster Fuller and Maharishi Maheshi Yogi , University of Massachusetts; Amherst, Massachusetts. Maharishi University of Management www.mum.edu As a new science of consciousness, the Science of Creative Intelligence provides a practical means to unfold the permanent experience of higher states of consciousness and offers the theoretical understanding of that experience which is necessary for the most rapid growth towards enlightenment. Founded by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the Science of Creative Intelligence draws upon the modern sciences and the ancient Vedic science of consciousness, linking them together into a new integrated approach to knowledge. Study of the Science of Creative Intelligence allows students to know the relationship of all things to their own Self. It structures that refinement of the intellect in which everything is increasingly seen in the light of the most unified and boundless state of consciousness, the Unified Field of Natural Law. This self-referral state of consciousness lies at the basis of all Nature’s functioning and stands as the foundation for fulfillment in life and success in every enterprise. *Tags* Buckminster Fuller, Bucky, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, SCI, Science of Creative Intelligence, Enlightenment, America, Amherst, University, Massachusetts, World Peace, Transcendental Meditation, India, Guru

The 23 Enigma

Twenty three is the first primary number in which both digits are prime numbers and add up to prime numbers. According to the seventeenth century scholar Archbishop Ussher the world was created on October 23rd, 4004 BC. The end of the world, if we are to believe the Mayans, will be December 23rd, 2012. Julius Caesar was reportedly stabbed twenty three times by his assassins, which is the same amount of letters in the Latin alphabet and also the date in April on which our greatest literary canon, William Shakespeare, was born and died. If I was to tell you that it takes twenty three seconds for the blood to circulate around the body; that the axis of Planet Earth is 23.5 degrees and that computers communicate in 2³ bits (bytes) would you start to become a little suspicious? Maybe not. Some of you more illuminated readers will already have noticed that this article appears on page 23 of this magazine. Is this fate – the work of higher forces – or can it be simply explained away as the result of a particularly astute editorial team?
