...city's outskirts. The hill is made up of some 12 million cubic meters of rubble cleared away after Berlin was destroyed in World War II; the site was later used as a U.S. listening post during the Cold War.

While I think Mr. Seton did an admirable job summarizing most works...
...comes from contacting the unified field, the field of pure consciousness. Everything else is almost worthless. The experience of diving within takes you to the purest level and your inner spirit. Like the Maharishi says, it’s like watering the root and enjoying the fruit. It seems to me like education should go to the full extent of the human being...
