Peter, Sabrina (hearthkeeper@multnomahfriends.org), All,

As a kind of Quaker sharing or Friendly ministry ... 

Greetings Friends, just started to write the following in Multnomah Monthly Meeting's Quaker Meeting this morning, and the Zoom call dropped (again) ... I left the Meeting after about 30 minutes  ... When I was attending MMM while studying at Reed College and living in Portland, Oregon, from 1979-1987, I also studied and lived in Munich Germany through a Reed College / Lewis and Clark study-abroad program for 13 months, in 1981-1982 during which I was active in a little Munich Quaker Meeting too. At the end of my time there, I lived with a Quaker family, die Familie Krueger - Eckhard, Liesl, Roland and Arne - who were central in the Meeting, and in the little town of Garching north of Munich, for about 2 1/2 months. (Both Eckhart, a physicist, and my father Gordon K MacLeod MD, were involved in protesting nuclear energy in different ways). In growing a Friendly-informed worldwide abolition movement and with Friendly-informed World Univ & Sch too, to abolish the wrongful buying and selling of people in the illegal sex, drugs, violence, car theft, military targeting etc industries internationally, and their latent networks of violence, so to knock back international organized crime, I've been wondering if you Peter (Ford) might become the CFO of NtF-informed, Quaker-informed World University and School on the 501 c 3 World Univ & Sch wing presently, and so an Executive of WUaS, and as WUaS potentially begins to hire our very first employees. 

(Earlier this morning I received an email nominally about Marketing preferences from Siemens' Industrial and AI company with headquarters in Germany, after unsubscribing months ago, resubscribed and as World University and School's Executive, and for Simulations - re a #RealisticVirtualEarth as field sites and classrooms (and I'm thinking G Street View with time slider - https://www.google.com/maps/@38.7859883,-122.6519024,3a,75y,325.28h,90t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sLfmN0oKo630So4zhcCDShA!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D0%26panoid%3DLfmN0oKo630So4zhcCDShA%26yaw%3D325.28!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en&entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDkyMy4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) where Siemens is excelling at such virtual earth simulations but for industrial AI reasons, I've seen in the past - and then was told I was unsubscribed again ... but I didn't seek this time to resubscribe, appreciating the information I gleaned in signing up again ... Re my being an Executive ... could this communication have come from Peter Norvig in part, with a colleague at Siemens?). 

Getting this Siemens' email, replying - and then being unsubscribed - led me to think of Roland Krueger, who was a teen when I was around 21 living in the Kruegers' very small flat in Garching, and who is know a seasoned senior automobile executive, businessman and industrial designer, now CEO of Dyson's (with headquarters in Great Britain?) ... and is Dyson's a Quaker company, and/or does it have Quaker roots? ... and who lives in Singapore with his wife Claudine Chen. (I last talked with Eckhart from Germany after the Fukushima triple core nuclear meltdown in Japan - when I was physically near Stanford University and attending a lot of talks at Stanford - in around 2011). 

Am heading to a Harvard Aging Research and Drug Development conference in the greater Boston area on Tuesday night getting back to the SF Bay Area on Monday, and am wondering further Peter whether you might become the CFO of World University and School and as WUaS continues to grow a worldwide abolition movement and in seeking to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet, and potentially to end poverty too by distributing Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency - https://minepi.com/sgkmac - to most or many of these. Such a WUaS abolition movement would develop with law, and law enforcement and potentially in all 200 countries and in their main languages. (Am wondering too how the Friends Meeting at Cambridge MA is doing with growing an World Univ & Sch worldwide abolition movement but also in Massachusetts, too  ... having just got an email from Harvard Quaker Chaplain John Bach (and am adding our correspondence here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2026/09/indus-river-dolphin-platanista-minor.html), whom I going to meet multiple times while staying for 4 nights at Friends Meeting at Cambridge about his having some job sites, or house-painting sites? active - he's been a house painter in the past - and am wondering even if these could be for the illegal sex industry ... eg for the wrongful buying and selling of people, and similar, in the illegal sex industry  ... and see the PS below).

Could Roland (Krueger) even become the CEO of the WUaS Corporation, our WUaS 2nd wing, a for-profit general stock company legal entity in the state of California - and as a Quaker too ? 

Friendly-informed World Univ & Sch WUaS continues to grow a worldwide abolition movement ... and am seeking for this to happen with WUaS as a Friendly NtF Quaker set of  2 or more companies ... eg a possible WUaS pharmaceutical company, or division, too, re or in the WUaS Corporation wing (and see - 
Friday, September 25, 2026
Bewick's wren: begin the #WUaSpharmaCo #HarvardARDD2026 by developing 3 #WUaSagingReversal #OSKgeneDrugs * * * Great to have good exit destinations on short notice ... and can Canyon 94516 become one of these for my mother and brother and family? 

How best to do grow this WUaS worldwide abolition movement, and with both wings of World University and School WUaS and as a Friendly-informed set of world class ~250 WUaS universities, eg in 200 countries, and in 50 US states, building on CC-4 licensed MIT OCW in 7 languages presently? 

Peter, how is Multnomah Monthly Meeting doing with staying disentangled from international organized crime ... and re the gunshot to my vehicle on M May 18, 2026, and the 5 death threats from tesla-related companies earlier this year, and with the many tesla references in the 8:15 am PT Multnomah Monthly Meeting blended Quaker Meeting last Sunday September 20, 2026, and tesla vehicles continuing to seem to swarm my vehicle at times until very recently. Having sought a US federal investigation in the sf quajer meeting on 9th street after whistle-blowing loudly there much around 2017, and other quajer meetings around the world, and not knowing what's developing with regard to such US federal investigations, am continuing to be concerned that tesla-related companies including spaceX and twitterX, as you may have been reading, are seeking to institutionalize international organized crime ... and as WUaS grows a world wide abolition movement too to knock back international organized crime (as the wrongful buying and selling of people in the illegal sex, drugs, violence, etc industries and their latent networks of violence internationally) and among Friends and Quaker organizations especially. Thoughts?

Having known you since the early 1980s Peter (Ford - https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-ford-63a00899 - and with your accounting focus, and your use of Gusto Payroll, Benefits and Everything Else for the Friends' Meeting in Portland, OR), might you be interested in becoming the CFO of Friendly-informed, NtF-informed, Quaker-informed World University and School on the 501 c 3 World Univ & Sch wing presently, and so an Executive of WUaS, and as WUaS potentially begins to hire our very first employees? 

Friendly regards, abolitionally, best wishes, 
Scott

Hi Scott,

I’m not entirely sure of my schedule on Wednesday (I’m a contractor and have a couple of job sites going), but I’ll try to be at the Meeting House early afternoon to try to meet you before you go to Allston.

I suspect that you’re going to be busy starting later on Wednesday, but if you’re available there is a weekly “Quaker-Sit” at the Divinity School every Thursday at 12:30.  You’d be warmly welcomed there. 

Otherwise I’ll plan on meeting you Sunday morning around 8:00, before the forum at 9:15.

I don’t have an office and usually meet students at the Meeting House which is a pleasant 10 minute walk from Harvard Square west on Brattle St.  And I haven’t used any AI opportunities.

I look forward to meeting you.

John

Hi John,

Thanks for your nice email. As president and presiding clerk of Friendly-informed World University and School - https://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - (building on CC-4 licensed MIT OCW in 7 languages presently), and in WUaS seeking to develop aging reversal and extreme longevity genetics drug therapies, FDA approved, with time, and to hire, for example, Harvard and MIT and other great universities' alum +, in Boston, and as a Nontheist Friend NtF NtQ, I think attending Quaker Meeting re the divine even at the Quaker Sit at the (long Unitarian) Harvard Divinity School on Thursday could be good. But I need to download the Harvard ARDD app and begin to schedule further my time at Harvard and in Boston, so I'll let you know later about this. (I continue to seek a life partner /wife to begin a family in the SF Bay Area, and potentially a 20-something MD to be or similar, and also a Friend, UU, with potentially Protestant background, or with possible Scottish-English background + as way opens ... and re the possible centuries + ahead even). Thanks so much for letting me know about all these Friendly Quaker meeting opportunities as I discern my way further for this WUaS journey to Boston. 

In growing a WUaS worldwide abolition movement - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2026/09/anamudi-mountain-india.html?m=0 & https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2026/09/anamudi-mountain-india-m-92126-m-92826.html?m=1 (and see the signature) - to protect people & in WUaS seeking to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet, and with something like 50 million people enslaved or caught in sex trafficking in the world, will potentially learn further how best for WUaS to grow this in the Boston area and re Massachusetts and with AI, ML and GPS and the US federal government working with states and other countries too ... and as WUaS seeks to develop 250 + online law schools in all 200 countries and 50 US states +.

I was a conscientious objector too, Friendly Quaker led, in my last year of high school at SSA in Pittsburgh PA (1978-1979) when conscription was reinstated in the US, and protested by writing something like "I am a conscientious objector" on the conscription card we had to send in, and giving partial information. I also sent a card into a Quaker organization on Cherry Street in Philadelphia to document being a conscientious objector that way too. (The US government still had this information in 2001 when I went back to graduate school at the University of California, Santa Barbara, re grants & funding, I was amazed to learn). But I didn't go to jail for this - different time and place than the radicalized late 1960s in New England.

Free-to-students' wiki World University and School is also seeking Friendly Quaker students after we accredit - Cambridge Friends School students and other Quaker high school students ?

Am also thinking I'll seek to hold World University and School's Weekly Business Meeting / WUaS News & Q&A on Sunday 10/4/26 at 4pm ET ... and am wondering if you might like to join this in a Zoom conference call, possibly both of us in the Friends' Meeting House at Cambridge outside on a lawn in a conversation with a laptop in front of us, and see -https://www.youtube.com/@ScottMacLeodWorldUniversity/videos. This could be a great way for WUaS and Cambridge Friends to grow a way to connect in the future as well.

I look forward to meeting you as well,  potentially initially on Wednesday 9/30/26.

Friendly regards, Abolition, Yogically (as in 8 limbs of Yoga - https://x.com/Q_YogaMacFlower/status/2044848212360753480), warmly,
Scott

Hi Pin, Ma, AI readers (US federal govt AI?),  Yoga greetings to you this morning. How are you this morning? Greetings from hi above the Bolinas lagoon in Marin ... My PO keys fell off my key car's electronic key & chain yesterday after leaving them with Chrystal and Magnussen's Toyota Palo Alto (perhaps unwisely) ... Did they make a copy of them, and with Octavio Rubio (whom I've known over the years there) waiting outside Chrystal's office door at Toyota PA with a little wry expression as I left (and I've worried about his possible criminality in the past ... and if he might know dom tardivel partner of lindsay wylie (daughter of my former landlord, and heinous criminal?? tom wylie in Canyon 94516 for 13 years) also possible Canyon criminals??) thus putting my and WUaS's US federal mail at risk in my and WUaS's Canyon CA 94516 PO Box? Changing keys at that US post office would be very complicated personnel and systems-wise esp ... And as I continue to float around in this Toyota Sienna minivan since March 4, 2025 ... What to do? ... Yoga meditation for one ... and write about this concern for another ... And maybe go to Multnomah Monthly Meeting Quaker Meeting at 9:55 this morning online for another ... Received another nice email from Quaker Harvard Chaplain John Bach ... saying there's a "Quaker Sit" Quaker Meeting in the Harvard Divinity School on Thursday at 1230 in the middle of the first day of the Harvard ARDD ... interesting opportunity re the 'divine' too ... and also re WUaS developing aging reversal & extreme longevity genetic drugs ... Thoughts? Yogically (as in 8 limbs of Yoga), Fondly, abolitionally, warmly, Desiderata prose poem greetings, sending Friendly NtF Quaker & UU care, Scott  (Appreciating Peter Ford in Portland Oregon as a possible Friendly WUaS CFO -  https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-ford-63a00899 )

Dear George (Church) Peter (Norvig, Google AI), Sundar (Pichai), Yoga friends, family in their 80s and 90s ~ Ma/Janie, and Alden (Briscoe - who went to Quaker George School in Philadelphia before Harvard college), & Quakertarian & Veterinarian & cousin Annie (Brown in NE Oregon) in her 60s, Dick (Robb MD, possibly posthumously, also an ophthalmology professor in Harvard Medical School - and might you Dick have helped develop the ongoing clinical trials for ER-100, epigenetic reprogramming for open-angle Glaucoma, and one other Glaucoma condition?, and see - https://share.google/aimode/uWGl5Ms0ZBrwk3sx6), and Maitreyi (Mazumdar MD - both professors in Harvard Medical School too), Vivek (Buch MD, professor of surgery in the Stanford Medical School), MacLeod kin or family, Doortje (Van Kooten, and Angela and your father Victor, and please forward), Valerie & Ed Smyth MDs, & Marlynn Wei MD JD (co-author of "The Harvard Medical School Guide to Yoga: 8 Weeks to Strength, Awareness, and Flexibility," 2017, Harvard Press), Pin/Sid Mazumdar, HHS, all, 


A 
Yoga greetings (as in 8 limbs of Yoga) for the email Restorative Yoga explorations' class on Saturday September 5, 2026  (and as we may live to 150 and well beyond:)  ... around 8 am Your Time  ...  


Exploring further de-hunching over ... re Jane (above) my mother's seeking to extend her spine long and hunch over less ... and particularly for 80 and 90 year olds + ... but for everyone here ... (And who here is searching online for Yoga asana explorations they like and find helpful from home, and potentially daily with time - (and as we may live to 150 and well beyond:) )


I think my mother's finding great benefit from taking two movement classes a week ... Explore and as we may live to 150 and well beyond:) ?




B
Let's Yoga-explore 

1
Siddhasana on a chair 
Yoga meditation sitting on a chair (chair pose) or cross legged on a blanket on the floor - float your head up like a helium balloon to lengthen the spine 


2
Urdhva hastasana on a chair 

Then from sitting, extend arms up in sitting urdhva hastasana (upward salute) ... lengthening your inner arms long toward the sky




3
Then Cat-Cow Yoga pose on hands and knees, undulating your spine up and down (possibly 10 times) to create freedom and movement in your spine 
eg



4 
Then from your hands and knees, move your hands about 12 inches forward, - and then drop back your buttocks while still on your knees to lengthen from  your rooting palms back through your buttocks, spine lengthening ... into a kind of downward dog pose (Adho Mukha Svanasana) for the upper body only, knees on the ground, buttocks a little behind the plumb line of your thighs ... and explore releasing into the traction you're creating from your spreading palms and fingers growing little roots into the floor...

This is the idea - 



Am looking for a drawing of this from one of Victor's 4 books ... but can't find presently ... 



5
Then stand in Tadasana Mountain pose ... and then into upward salute, and then into a beginning back bend (as if you were going to do a drop back into Urdhva Dhanurasana, upward bow or wheel pose) arms lengthening up, legs rooting down 



6 
And then a forward bend in chair pose, lengthening your spine long, and releasing into it



7
Then 
Savasana, head on a blanket, and possibly one under your knees too, laying yourself symmetrically down ... and covering yourself with a blanket ... for 10 minutes or so 

like -

George, Peter, Sundar, all, I found these related poses when searching on the following, and how best to develop scientific Yoga studies even in a #RealsiticVirtualEarthForYoga at World University and School which is in a #GrowWithGoogleWUaS program - 

Searched on 
yoga poses for aging reversal science experiments 

Scientific studies suggest that regular yoga and meditation practices can positively influence molecular markers of aging, such as reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. [1]
Key Anti-Aging Yoga Poses
  • Downward-Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana): This mild inversion brings the head below the heart, which increases blood circulation to the face and head to support nutrient delivery to skin tissues. [1, 2]
  • Fish Pose (Matsyasana): This backbend opens the chest and stretches the neck, which helps improve posture, boost lymphatic drainage, and enhance oxygen supply to the upper body. [1]
  • Cat-Cow Pose (Marjaryasana-Bitilasana): Gentle spinal movements in this flow help activate the vagus nerve to lower stress-induced inflammatory chemicals in the body. [1]
  • Standing Forward Bend (Uttanasana): This deep fold reverses the pull of gravity on facial tissues and encourages restorative blood flow to the head. [1, 2]
What the Science Says
Research investigating gene expression shows that comprehensive yoga programs can increase antioxidant enzyme activities and regulate anti-apoptotic (cell-protecting) genes. [1]
Additional scientific reviews published in sources like ScienceDirect indicate that mindfulness and yogic lifestyles correlate with markers of cellular health, including oxidative stress mitigation and telomere maintenance. While yoga cannot literally "reverse" chronological time, scientific experiments show it successfully dampens physiological drivers of biological aging. [1]

And further how to study aging reversal and 8 limbs of Yoga and in a physical-digital realistic virtual earth for Yoga (in one iterating realistic virtual earth), and see - 


Is there a standard for yoga poses asana emerging in scientific clinical studies of the health effects of Yoga poses on specific medical conditions? 


Is there a standard for yoga poses asana & 8 limbs of Yoga emerging in scientific clinical studies of the health effects of Yoga poses on specific medical conditions that World University and School could develop for new yoga benefits scientific studies from home & 
 in a realistic virtual earth for yoga too? 


While there is no single global standard for yoga across all medical conditions, emerging consensus frameworks and standardized protocols are increasingly used in scientific clinical trials. These standards allow clinical trials to evaluate yoga’s health benefits systematically and offer a strong foundation for research initiatives at World University and School (WUaS).

Current Scientific Standards for Clinical Yoga Research

Rather than mandating a fixed sequence of asanas for all conditions, clinical research relies on standardized intervention guidelines and condition-specific protocols:

1. The Delphi Guidelines for Yoga Interventions

To resolve trial heterogeneity, international consensus panels established the Delphi Guidelines for Yoga Interventions in Musculoskeletal and Chronic Conditions. These guidelines standardize how protocols are structured and reported:

  • Dose & Parameter Rigor: Standardizing session frequency (e.g., 60-minute classes, 2–3 times per week over 8–12 weeks).

  • Core Components: Mandatory reporting on Asana (physical postures), Pranayama (breath regulation), and Dhyana/Dharana (meditation/mindfulness).

  • Adaptation Frameworks: Standardizing modifications (e.g., using chairs, blocks, or wall support) to ensure participant safety without losing therapeutic efficacy.

2. Condition-Specific Standardized Protocols

  • Chronic Low Back Pain: Standardized protocols developed by researchers (e.g., Boston Medical Center’s Yoga for Low Back Pain) are formally recognized in medical consensus guidelines such as those of the American College of Physicians (ACP) and the VA/DoD.

  • Oncology & Palliative Care: Integrative guidelines from the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) explicitly recommend standardized gentle/restorative yoga protocols for cancer-related fatigue, anxiety, and pain management.

  • Common Yoga Protocol (CYP): Protocols like the WHO/Ministry of Ayush Common Yoga Protocol are increasingly studied in trials measuring biological markers (e.g., vascular function, inflammatory cytokines, and CD34+ stem cell activity).

3. Integrating the 8 Limbs of Yoga in Research

While early western trials focused predominantly on Asana, current clinical neuroscience heavily evaluates the broader 8 Limbs framework (Ashtanga):

  • Yama & Niyama (Ethical & Behavioral Foundations): Measured via self-compassion, lifestyle compliance, and stress reduction scales.

  • Asana (Postures): Assessed for range of motion, biomechanics, muscle strength, and flexibility.

  • Pranayama (Breath Control): Measured via heart rate variability (HRV), vagal tone, and autonomic nervous system regulation.

  • Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana (Internalization & Meditation): Evaluated through functional MRI (fMRI) studies tracking default mode network (DMN) activity and emotional regulation.

Developing a Yoga Research Framework at World University and School

World University and School can leverage open educational tools, telemetry, and 3D geospatial environments to pioneer decentralized, remote yoga research:

1. Home-Based Scientific Data Collection (At-Home Tele-Yoga)

WUaS can host open-access protocols where participants practice from home while collecting verifiable data:

  • Wearable Sensor Integration: Track continuous biomarkers during practice—such as HRV (Pranayama effects), continuous glucose monitoring, and electrodermal activity (stress responses).

  • AI Computer Vision for Postural Alignment: Utilize lightweight motion-tracking via home webcams to monitor pose execution (Asana accuracy) and joint angles without requiring high-end laboratory gear.

  • Standardized Digital Health Metrics: Implement validated clinical survey batteries (e.g., PROMIS, Brief Pain Inventory) administered pre- and post-session.

2. Real-Time Telemetry & Digital Twins in a Virtual Earth

A realistic virtual Earth platform offers distinct methodological advantages for yoga science:

  • Interactive Biomechanical Visualization: Students and researchers can view real-time 3D anatomical models (showing muscle activation, joint loads, and spinal alignment) corresponding to specific asanas within a virtual environment.

  • Avatar-Guided Standardized Instruction: Ensure 100% protocol fidelity across global study cohorts by delivering avatar-led sessions that eliminate instructor variability in multi-center trials.

  • Global Longitudinal Cohorts: Enable participants worldwide to join synchronized, remote clinical trials in shared virtual studios, capturing diverse demographic and health datasets.

AND

Is there a standard for yoga poses asana  emerging in scientific clinical studies of the health effects of Yoga poses on specific medical conditions? 


Yes, frameworks like the Medical Yoga Standardized Intervention (MOSI) are emerging to create a unified language and structure for clinical yoga research. [1]
For decades, scientific studies on the health effects of yoga faced major hurdles regarding intervention heterogeneity—meaning different trials used vastly different asana combinations, naming conventions, doses, and styles (such as Hatha or Iyengar). This lack of uniformity made it difficult for conventional healthcare providers to replicate results or prescribe precise protocols for specific conditions like chronic low back pain, hypertension, or type 2 diabetes. [1, 2, 3]
To solve this, researchers and clinical methodologists are actively developing standardized taxonomies and theoretical models. For instance: [1]
  • The MOSI Framework: This model organizes traditional yoga practices into a reproducible four-layer architecture (covering self-care, intention, practice, and awareness) designed specifically for clinical implementation. [1]
  • Condition-Specific Modules: Clinical trials targeting particular ailments—such as musculoskeletal disorders or thyroid imbalances—increasingly rely on pre-validated, peer-reviewed "yoga modules" rather than randomized sets of poses. [1, 2]
  • Sham Yoga Controls: Researchers have even developed specific "sham yoga" stretching protocols to act as controlled placebos in randomized trials, helping isolate the precise biomechanical or physiological benefits of true therapeutic asanas. [1]
If you want, tell me:
  • Which specific medical condition are you researching?
  • Are you looking for standardized asana sequences or dosage guidelines (frequency and duration)?
I can share more details on the specific clinical protocols used for that condition.
