Also, did Geoff Clements or any of the other leaders offer any explanations as to why you guys would experience such heinous behavior whilst creating coherence? The official explanation was that the rounding caused "unstressing" in the local population that led to the vandalism. Some might say that that is the opposite of what is supposed to happen but they don't have embarrassing anomalies to cover up. A more likely explanation is that the more cars there are in the parking lot the less space there is for the locals to play football. Or maybe they just hate domies...

And it's a right load of bollocks. There are parts of Skem you wouldn't want to go in the day let alone at night. I remember my first big course, the plan was to create enough "coherence" to prevent the Iraq war. Our efforts reached almost as far as the car park where the TMO had to hire a security guard to stop the locals vandalising the cars when we were meditating. I don't suppose things like that got included in the "study". And then there's the rather disquieting bulletproof shield in the local convenience store. I could go on....

What do the Skelmers get up to after dark? On my last stroll round Skem at night the only attractions were a very grotty pub where apparently the TMers only go to watch sports and then only if they are good at hiding their southern accents, And there's a park where you can shoot heroin or smash things up - depending on your age, financial status and inclination.

One of the benefits of having bailed from the TMO several years earlier and having worked mainly on the West coast and avoiding all those icky Fairfield winters, I guess. And this lot are all English which might have made it less likely you'd know them ;-) Ah, I see. I didn't even notice that it was the UK dome. I guess if you've seen one Golden Dome of Enlightenment, you foolishly assume you've seen them all. :-) That *does* explain the extreme prissiness of the women, though. I kept searching through the crowd for some of those formerly-hippie, formerly-happy, still-somewhat-sexy-beneath-the-sexless-clothing women I remembered from my last days around the US TMO, and wondered what had happened to them in 3 years. Guess this was another group of sexless women entirely. :-) I know, I had a good laugh at all the frocks and horn rimmed specs. No flirty fishing with us! But this was how Marshy wanted it, very churchy and tea on the lawn. A deliberate attempt to put distance between the hippies and the TMO. But there was a surprising amount of wife swapping going on behind the scenes though. I don't blame them, it's either that or the Skelmersdale night life. And trust me, you don't want that....

Don't they all look young at the beginning! I know most of the people in that video and most of them are still up there in Skem but dome numbers have fallen dramatically since no one new moves in to replace those who pass over, and especially since the vedic village in Rendlesham got underway. But they all voted to stay in the dome and not build a vastu site up north because they are so attached to it, which surprised me. Seems odd that whenever you go on a course you get a lecture about the importance of vastu but in the siddhaland itself they are aggressively uninterested and King Tony said that they should stay there if that's what they want, which wouldn't have happened in Marshy's day. And when the peace palace gets finished in Rendlesham and more building land becomes available for proper vastu homes - as opposed to the ones that make you ill because the sunrise is delayed by a few minutes - Skem will fade away completely and the dome will be turned into a roller disco or something. Might make a nice coda to the video perhaps... I remember complaining when our academy was sold but the people that run the movement say that this is why it's called a movement - you have to be ready to move at any time. A good way of losing attachment I think. Some wisdom maybe?
