I was being facetious, although not entirely.I wouldn't know where to begin. I
do get burnt out on all the TM speak though. The holier than thou attitudes etc
etc. I could go on and on but what's the use. I just prefer to keep my distance
and my sanity.

Actually that is good, stop acting like Maharishi.
But what would the resolution be and how would the memo read? Vision the text.
TM is now a corporation with Boards and process and not necessarily the
theocratic autocracy that it once was. What would you take to the Board(s) to
consider and vote on?

The aversion, could it be reconciled? What would the TMO movement have to do
to remediate the situation, for you?

This ‘aversion’ to being around the movement, how deep is the aversion?

I could afford it! However , I get stressed -out being in a TMO environment.
Just listening to TM speak winds me up.

'Collective meditation' was a majormajor tenet of Maharishi's all along, there
quite evidently has beena failure of an administration of the meditation, a
failure thataffected people's feelings about coming out for the
communalcollective meditation. This is going to take a change in leadership
culture to re-group the collapse of the Dome group TM meditation program.

The guidelines for the Dome meditation could be much streamlined down to what

It will take some large leadership to change that. Their problem now is that
this has gone on so long and the hurt enough that people have gone on, don’t
care, and will not come back. It would take a large mediation to turn this
around and have meditators come back to the Domes.

A large barrier to world peace here is the administrative guidelines themselves
that are employed to interrogate and discipline old TM teachers as a
gatekeeping to the group meditation. There is a judgement and retributive edge
in there, a vindictiveness held in the guidelines that is of a stiffness in the
business of the minds of some people in charge of the movement that has long
thwarted the group meditation. It is a cultural problem deep inside TM.

Are the three Drs. at the top of TM 15 years too late?
15 years ago as FairfieldLife at Yahoo-groups was born as a sounding board for
the larger meditating community it was said then:
Rick Archer wrote then on Sept 14, 2001:
I’ve love to see a public announcement like the following from the Department
of the Development of Consciousness (the people who give out the badges):
Dear Fairfield Sidhas and Governors,
First, we would like to publicly apologize for ever having excluded from the
domes anyone who wanted to practice Maharishi’s program there. We would like to
welcome everyone back on the condition that if you are in the dome, you promise
to practice what you have learned from Maharishi – no more, no less. In turn,
we promise to never again judge or exclude anyone for what they may choose to
do with their private life. We possess neither the wisdom nor the right to do
this. Let us all come together again in a spirit of love and acceptance, and
begin once more to radiate the harmony and coherence for which the domes were
built.
Jai Guru Dev,
The Department of the Development of Consciousness

Drs. at the top of the organization are going to have to get their collective

situation they have caused with the community Dome meditation.

The whole community has story of knowing someone who was poorly handled or

you?” “..Are you now or have you ever been?” A result is that fear marinates
the Domes as possibility of personally being found out and found in error of
the guidelines. Fear has become the first sutra of the meditating community
now in the Domes for many who would like to be involved with the group
meditation.

Any recourse for changing the guidelines or their enforcement for any of this
