Siena College is a nationally recognized Catholic liberal arts college situated in the suburban community of Loudonville, New York, two miles north of Albany. Siena College was founded in 1937 by Franciscan friars.
Schools and research
The college is composed of three schools of learning: School of Liberal Arts, School of Science and School of Business. Siena students often benefit from the College’s proximity to Albany by acquiring practical internships (and later, careers) in government, the arts, science and business.
The Siena Research Institute (SRI), founded in 1980, conducts opinion polls that are quoted by the national media including the New York Times and USAToday, and well-known authors such as Betty Boyd Caroli (First Ladies). In 1982, SRI conducted the world's first Ranking of First Ladies. More recently, SRI has conducted studies on a First Woman President and hosted the First Woman President Symposium in March 2005. SRI regularly conducts polls concerning New York's consumer index and polls prior to elections.

Bringing Transcendental Meditation to children today
sanunit@iowatelecom.net Tue, 07 Oct 2008 19:00:00 +0100
I’m wondering: in this world of today, where children are being raised over cell phones—they don’t have really any time to reflect on their lives—how are you planning on bringing Transcendental Meditation to our youth? It’s a big question. Transcendental Meditation is a mental technique, very easy and effortless to do, yet supremely profound in that it allows any human being to dive within—all the way in—t [...]

Do you believe that once one has the ability to access this ocean of consciousness that one has the ability to manifest one’s own interactions with their surroundings? Meaning that, you know, this person is aware that they have tapped into this pool of consciousness, but it’s no longer limited to their own experience; it’s literally spilling out to the rest of their surroundings. It’s almost as if they’re already aware of what is going on, and [...]
Transcendental Meditation and consciousness expansion
sanunit@iowatelecom.net Wed, 24 Sep 2008 19:00:00 +0100
You’ve mentioned the benefit of Transcendental Meditation as being like a sort of consciousness expansion. My question is: Do you think there’s any other way to induce that consciousness expansion, like illicit substances or art, or any other suggestions you might have? No. The thing is, there’s experience, there’s information, there’s intellectual knowledge. But consciousness isn’t an intellectual knowledge. Th [...]
World peace, war, and social mobility
sanunit@iowatelecom.net Fri, 12 Sep 2008 19:00:00 +0100
I have a question regarding world peace: What do you think about war sometimes being a necessity for social mobility? This thing about world peace: I’ve heard that Maharishi had a technology to amplify, enliven, so much unity through a peace-creating group that it could bring harmony and coherence—real peace—to the world. And real peace is not just the absence of war. Real peace is the absence of those seeds of war—negativi [...]
Meditation and the story
sanunit@iowatelecom.net Wed, 03 Sep 2008 19:00:00 +0100
I have a question about story. When you’re in meditation, the process of story—does it come to you visually? When I watch your films, they are like a meditation to me. And you use colors, and you use rhythm, and you use timing, and you also—your stories are surprising and always revealing. And I wonder how your meditation influences you in that way, and how you convey that on the set to the actors—how do you all work together to bring that to light? [...]
What is the field of consciousness?
sanunit@iowatelecom.net Tue, 26 Aug 2008 19:00:00 +0100
Can you explain about consciousness? The field of consciousness, the field of pure consciousness, as explained by Dr. John Hagelin, is also known as the Unified Field—the Unified Field found at the base of all matter. And it’s found at the base of all mind, at the source of thought. And this Unified Field is also beyond space and time. It’s unbounded and eternal; it’s beyond duality. It’s oneness; it’s unity. An [...]
