My suggestion is to replace all of the top administrators at MUM and the TM Org and to stop the dome badge requirement - let people all meditate together, without prejudice or fear of banishment and shunning. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <sharelong60@...> wrote : ananda, do you have any suggestions for dealing with alleged banning, shunning and stalking?

There must be thousands of disaffected TM Teachers out there, having once spent thousands of dollars and years of service to become certified teachers - now required to be "re-certified" in order to teach. But, the banning from the domes just seems so radical that it sounds like the TM Org turned into a cult. My point is that most of the current FFL members seem to be displaying the same mentality - banning and shunning other members of the group. Not to mention the cyber stalking. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <noozguru@...> wrote : Plus all the thousands who learned TMyears ago, thought it was just a bit of a relaxation technique andhave little interest in people still interested in TM or who usedto be interested. They could care less about a Yahoo Group likethis. But there is a small group who still think that TM is thecenter of the universe.

It is plenty past time to just go and gut the Dome guidelines of the ‘non-compete’ clauses particularly around the practice of jyotish. Fairfield is full of people secretly promoting and practicing jyotish and giving readings. Every time the Weekly Reader boldly publishes astrology from David Hawthorne it is a reminder of how he and his family in moving to Fairfield to be part of something larger were ridiculously judged and screwed by the movement. This is just plain bad for the energetics of the community here. Everyone gets the irony of going to Pat Hayward for consultation too. Everyone at all levels of the ™ movement does it. It is quite time to stop using the Dome badge guidelines as weapon-ry against the community. IThis has been Self-destructive all along. The Dome badge guidelines need to be made much simpler to what it simply takes to run a group meditation and stop using the Dome badge guidelines as a primary retributive tool to discipline a sales force; let administration of a sales force of the re-cert TM teachers be the particular dealings of an HR or legal departments for the teaching side [Maharishi Foundation] of the movement. It is time to damn and dump those ‘non-compete’ clauses around the practice of jyotish. -JaiGuruYou #yiv0952943892 #yiv0952943892 -- #yiv0952943892ygrp-mkp {border:1px solid
