Hi Friends We are going to continue with weekday meetings for silent meditation through the month of November… and beyond if there continues to be interest.
At 51 North Court in Fairfield. For the rest of this month, with exception of Thanksgiving Day, November 24th, we will gather from 5 to 6pm weekdays. Please feel free to invite others to join us. Just let folks know that our request is that their time there be in silence… that all practices, faiths and teacher/lineages are welcome otherwise. No one is going to ask to see a Dome badge or check! -JaiGuruYou ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : Group meditation for meditators without current Dome badges continues on this eve of Election Day, 5pm at 51 N.

At a quaker meeting the, impulse to speak is defined as the word of god. If they want me to go to the Dome and give a speech during mediation, than maybe we can go to a Quaker meeting and tell them we are meditating. The silents we have during a Quaker meeting is drawn deeper with the impulse to speak the word of god. but once someone says something its starts to be drawn away. If they had to rename the Quaker meeting they should call them spiritual hacks. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : A place even for meditators who are without badges for the Domes.
