Buck, you've returned, we were getting worried, a forum can't run without good
moderation - anything can happen! But I'm glad you've been having a good time
howling at the moon.
Now you're back perhaps you'd care to scroll down through the list and answer
a few questions about your moderation technique concerning the always civil,
respectful and creatively philosophical Curtis who would surely be considered a
boon to any forum with his spiritual experience and lucid writing skills.
It seems to me that he's been the victim of an "apostate" cleansing purge, was
that the case? Can you clarify your reasoning behind his constructive dismissal?

Went to a Guru Purnima group silent meditation in suburban NJ the other
evening –Summit, Shorthills, Maplewood, Chatam area. Gathering of people from
a couple different yoga studios for an evening meditation as a group. Eclectic
gathering of different mature meditator folks for a nice group silent
meditation. Really nice field effect in an amalgam of some Gurumayi
meditators, chopra meditators, oprah, Quaker, centering, Buddhist, meditators,
and a couple people who learned meditation in recent times through TM center in
the NJ area. Ecumenical silent meditation together in a room for a long
meditation one evening after the workday.
Also Looking in now on a guru Purnima meditation retreat hosted by Karunamayi
also in NJ just across from NYC. About 400 practiced meditators from New
England and Canada with some coming from the West also. Mature eclectic
demographic of practiced meditators for a several day retreat practicing in
long silent meditations as a group. .. it's a nice cultivated spiritual group
effect.
Demographics of both these groups meetings are middle-aged and at least
middle-class. Not many millennials to see in the group though the meditation
retreat does cost money and afforded some time including a weekday workday to
go to, but are not many millennials to be seen. Both groups age-wise were
generally younger (middle-age) than what we more commonly see in our Fairfield
meetings of older greying baby-boom meditators. -JaiGuruYou
