There’s a lot of judgement of ‘sinning’ in TM going on and there is a lot of personal judgement of people going on in TM. We have some strict Preservationists who judge the practitioners and then we have the practitioners who as a community judge the preservationists.
It is judgement to some standard and where capricious the judgement becomes personal and vendetta that is self indulgent, selfish, relentlessly indulged.

On the one hand Strict preservation originalist religious ideologues within the middle at the top of TM feel that the older meditator community and old TM teachers have “sinned” against original policy and guideline and should necessarily be disciplined, while on the other hand the old and young meditating community finds the TM leadership itself has in any number of ways ‘sinned’ as leaders of the community. This is all really bad for and works against the Dome meditation numbers right now. It would take some extraordinary leadership to reconcile. A Great Mediator.

We have long been losing numbers of meditators faster than they can manufacture them. It is going to take a revolutionary culture change inside the leadership to right this. Can it happen fast enough? Can culture change happen in the movement at the top fast enough to save itself and us? upfronter writes: Perhaps one reason why there is not 100% attendance is because a lot of people do not actually believe that what they are being told in such a matter-of-fact way is accurate and factual. A meditator continues to meditate because they have a clear and subjectively recognisable benefit from doing so. It is true in some number of cases that as some people are meditators they are are not necessarily interested in doing the 'long' program much anymore. Meditators yes, but not doing the TM-sidhis. But when it moves into the arena of expanded applied Vedic philosophies, as nice as these are in creating interests and spawning various communities, it appears to some, now with hindsight due to early pioneers, that this is just guesswork, wishful thinking or ideological fervour. emptybill writes: Fairfield is now the Damascus of Iowa.

Everyone is aware that we are facing a challenging period. We are seeing wide swings in the financial markets, deep political divisions and extremism, and violent outbreaks in the U.S. and in many countries. Maharishi has given us the supreme technologies of Yoga and Yagya to transform times like these into periods of positive transformation; we must simply employ them to a sufficient degree. There are over 1,500 Sidhas and Governors in Fairfield and Maharishi Vedic City. It would be good if all of us could participate in group program during this delicate period, especially from February 20 – March 15, but also on a continuing basis throughout 2016.
