Good News from the West Coast Tour—
University of Southern California Update
Thursday, November 3—More than 1,200 people packed the Bovard Auditorium at the University of Southern California tonight to hear award-winning film director David Lynch, Institute director Dr. John Hagelin, and M.U.M. brain researcher Dr. Fred Travis speak on “Consciousness, Creativity and the Brain.”
The USC presentation kicked off this month’s West Coast college campus tour (click here for the tour schedule) and was hugely successful, punctuated by many enthusiastic standing ovations from the crowd. David Lynch opened the talk by offering to answer questions about his films and filmmaking, but every question from the audience focused on consciousness, enlightenment, the TM program, and the brain—a remarkable new level of receptivity and responsiveness from the public. Even the seasoned media reporters attending the talk were impressed by the presentation’s depth of knowledge and research and by the eloquence of all the speakers. (We will send you details about media coverage soon.)
On Friday the tour moves to the University of California–San Diego for another overflow presentation. We will continue to update you about the public and media response as the tour continues. |
