“May we look upon our treasures, the furniture of our houses, and our garments, and try whether the seeds of war have nourishment in these our possessions. Holding treasures in the self-pleasing spirit is a strong plant, the fruit whereof ripens fast. A day of outward distress is coming and Divine Love calls for us to prepare against it.” John Woolman, Journal, Whittier Edition (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1871), Appendix, p. 307
Yep, certainly Maharishi had us in a uniformity of business suits and schoolmarmish attire at a time. John Woolman and Quaker simplicity or Mao in symmetric dress-code movement too for example. Simplification as a spiritual organizational practice to keep people from running after silly ostentatious standards of extraneous materialism that are so fundamentally superfluous to the central focus in lean progress of necessity and might otherwise take those of young or immature mind away is time honored spiritual instruction. Evidently this principle of simple living has a profound purpose in Natural Law that the simple life keeps getting pulled on by spiritual Unified Field revival movements. Proly a lot of great millenarians employ and urge uniformity and simplicities, urging and adopting a commonality in symmetric dress-code as device to keep people's attention, energy, time and animal needs focused and thereby concentrated on the large spiritual practice of their movement and its business at hand. There is a practicality in this as utility around group cohesion in formative stages. -Buck, a plain and common meditator only > > --- "Jason" wrote: > > > > An asymmetric dress-code is bad because it is one-sided and > > has nothing to do with egalitarian sexuality.
