[FairfieldLife] Re: The Importance Of Group Meditation

Old ideas often fade away only when the old generation does off.  The Old Guard 
at MUM  may change but it doesn't look like it.
 For example, take the connections between Consciousness and biology relating 
to the Polyvagal nervous system. The key ingredient is Compassion (the feeling 
of Compassion resulting from more Empathy). The old idea is that this would be 
a type of mood making and contrary to the notion that people are to meditate 
and "take it as it comes"  No. Compassion must be worked on diligently and over 
time: the Quakers are an example. It's a type of culture that grows and 
evolves, but first the idea must be introduced. This is unlikely in the MUM 
atmosphere since Compassion doesn't bring in $.
