For the last day of IH 0051, my Asian instructor told us how the western paradigm of science failed to explain a number of things that could be done by people. Â One of his examples was how one could draw energy from the Earth Mother to grant people strength. Â This demonstration started with me sitting in a chair and three men and the instructor trying to lift me just using two fingers. Â They failed as the instructor stated, but after a few minutes of meditation they tried again. Â I thought they were going to succeed until I heard the first grunt of pain and felt myself falling onto the floor. Â It appears that Eastern meditation and the Earth Mother simply can’t overcome the powerful combination of a fat white man and physics.

Let us raise upon the Lord a joyful noise, w00t
Yet more IH 0051 religion presentations but this was without humorous mispronunciation. Â Instead, I learned of SGI Meditation and about the religion’s founder Daisaku Ikeda. Â A central practice of SGI meditation is the chanting a of a mantra numerous times during the day and the belief that doing so will bring peace and success. Â The founder has received 200 honorary doctorates and 150 honorary citizenships. Â While I appreciate the simplicity of the doctrine, I doubt its validity: Â I’ve been yelling “w00t!” as a prayer unto the Lord a few times a day for the last few years and no divine gifts have befallen me.
