1. The MIU Masters and Doctorate in Vedic Science is the most fulfilling route to a doctorate from my Master of Arts in Education. But I have not been in a hurry to be Dr. Shaddock, and have waited 44 years for a doctorate from MIU, the only university with Consciousness Based Education. 

2. I took the SCI course 4 times (getting an A each time) as Maharishi Vedic Science is advanced Science of Creative Intelligence.  My company name is http://CreativeIntelligenceCorporation.com for hosting web sites such as http://SCISong.com (password: Mantra), https://GoldenDome.org and other TM related web sites. 

3. The Vedic Science program allows me to participate in the largest group practice of Transcendental Meditation in the Golden Dome, near my home, while working on my doctorate.

4. I can continue my work as a leader and coach in the area of Critical Thinking Ability (CTA).  A doctoral degree from MIU helps my credibility for publishing papers in peer reviewed scientific journals, to help spread the knowledge of TM to academia. My MA Thesis on "Critical Thinking in Students Practicing TM" was cited in MIU's application for Accreditation in 1980.

5. As Fairfield's most transformational leader and Coach on CryptoCurrency, I can reach more people and help them benefit from good coins, and avoid scams.

6. As a Transformational First Donor of Bitcoin to MIU, or any digital currency, and Coach to the MIU Alumni Giving Director (Paul Stokstad), I want to help the University to grow, and donate funds through my tuition payments.

7. Education is my primary job.  I find it fulfilling to help others to grow.  A Ph.D. degree helps my credentials and career advancement at GraduateSchool.edu, HowardCC.edu, and other educational institutions that have hired me.  I would like to develop a Sustainable Digital Currency curriculum for MIU, which will attract more students.  Harvard, MIT, and Stanford already have courses in digital currency.  So this will help MIU keep pace, and excel with the success principles of SCI.   There needs to be a course at MIU in Digital Currency.  Skilled programmers in Digital Currency are in demand, and often earn $300/hour.

8. Although other Ph.D. programs are available online, Maharishi International University is the only one which offers Knowledge of the Knower.   By keeping my attention on the knowledge, I hope to reach Cosmic Consciousness sooner.  http://CosmicComputer.com 

9. Maharishi said the Raam is the currency of the Global Country of World Peace" and "will be the fondest currency in the world."

I have begun making his words come true, with prototypes for https://RaamCoin.com including https://BitRaam.org (based upon Bitcoin), http://EtheRaam.com (based on Ethereum), and http://RaamWaves.com  (based on the Waves block chain).  Knowing more about King Raam, and the currency of Ayodhya may help in the creation of the ideal digital currency for the GCWP.

10. While in retirement around age 70, it is important to keep active towards a goal, such as a doctoral degree, to reduce the rate of biological aging.  Working with younger students helps keep me you.  TM helps me to continue to do most of the dives I did in high school.  https://GoldenDome.org/video/Diving
