Others would have different impressions, but on rare occasions when I go on campus, it feels pretty dead to me. Most of the buildings have been demolished, although there are a few new, yellow SV ones. There aren't many people around, and most of those seem to be foreign students.
The town is rather lively though. The Art Walk, concerts, visiting saints and spiritual teachers, many awakened and awakening folks. I like it here. I wouldn't mind having more natural beauty - mountains to hike and ski in, ocean to swim in - but those who come and go say there's no place like Fairfield for consciousness. MUM is probably responsible for a minority of that influence these days. on 8/20/05 8:41 PM, Robert Gimbel at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Back in the day, when I was on staff at M.I.U. > Around 1975-1977. > I remember mostly the atmosphere there, > Being quite exquisite. > There was definitely more of a 'communal' feeling, > And sweetness I remember. > Maharishi, would visit periodically; > For various conferences. > > I participated in one on Physics. > Larry Domash set it up. > It was quite good. > Everything seemed so grounded and 'down to earth' then. > Money was rolling in; > It was during the 'Merv' days. > I am wondering? > If anyone cares to comment. > How's the feeling in Faifield these days. > Is there any type of communal feeling? > I know there was always a certain degree of animosity, > From the town, and fundamentalist folk. > But in those early days, > When Maharishi came there; > There was even less of that town animosity, > And positive remarks in the Fairfield Ledger. > Sometimes, Jerry Jarvis would visit, Charlie Lutes, Robert Bly, > Father Dom Thomas. > Anyway, just reminiscing. ------------------------ Yahoo!
