Adding to the list of Dr. Hagelin’s action points: a coffee maker and the makings for black, green or chai teas in the Domes would be helpful for the kapha types.
E-mail: “I was on the assembly for 4 years, and even while "minding my own business," as Maharishi said, it was still obvious that there were a number of individuals who were "off the program." Certain guys would lie down almost immediately on arrival in the dome and sleep through the entire round! Sometimes both rounds! This was happening, like, right in front of me, so it was pretty hard to miss. In the early days,” I agree this problem and fair observation with others sleeping in the Domes needs to be in a larger consideration about the Dome meditation and like so many other things there with the community it needs to be spoken to by some calm leadership. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : Succinct Action Steps for Dr. Hagelin to Engage Group conversations and committee summaries: Top of list: Re-articulate Communal Mission Dissolve all the Meditation Monitoring System(s). Get the movement out of all the biz of monitoring people (students, faculty, grantees, citizens, old initiators/govs of TSR) and their meditations. Dissolve the IAA grant program as it is currently. Re-Start a World Peace Assembly for those who can. Shorten the morning and evening long program by letting attendees out of the Domes by 11:45am and 6:15pm so our meditators could be eating and networking in sync with the larger meditating community around them. Axe the time spent on the puja and the 10am ‘number one’ experience meeting in the middle of the morning meditation. Worst than just being spartan the grant program as it has been administered turns these people into renunciate sanyasis in our midsts. Stop the daily Puja Performance as part of the Dome meditation program Stop the 10:00am ‘number one experience’ sessions. Make that meeting now separate from the meditating of the group. Get the Dome WPA meditation down to two long programs for anyone who would take the time. Advocate largely for the larger group meditation by the practice of transcendent meditative experience along with the science, and not through disciplinary punitive means of judging or monitoring of practice while meditating, the level of fealty of faith or belief, or the individual lives of members. Done. Q: They wonder, why are people not meditating together? A:Using our own communal technical Vedic Science nomenclature.. Monitoring lowered the group coherence and numbers meditating in Fairfield by 'tainting the wave function' of consciousness as the wave function of individual consciousness collapses in meditation(™). The coloring of consciousness with fear by effect of monitoring in physical observation is antithetical to meditation in creating stress to the innocence of the practice. It was the same complaint of students both at MSAE and MUM over being graded on their meditation practice by monitors and having that grade go in transcripts. The same complaint of the file-making on meditator’s private lives by ‘the administrative state’ of the ™ movement. The monitoring needs to be decompressed to something else to help get back to increased levels of communal cohesion again. Towards Regaining Communal Critical Mass: Also, it is way past time to re-draft the national guidelines that regulate membership for inclusion in the group meditations. There are way too many “non-compete” clauses that remain in the guidelines, still. Clauses that exclude capable meditators from the collective of the group meditations.

Starting a some few weeks ago, after the removing of the former university President here, there have been ad hoc local meditator, university people, AND grantees of the Invincible America Assembly (IAA) sub-committee meetings on the unique problems of ™ meditating community in Fairfield. A week ago about 60 or 80 select TM movement 'elite' people met on the problem. Of course that did not include the larger meditating community in Fairfield in direct push back.

Quite evidently it is the Trustees, Raja and their apparatchiks themselves who need to be taken out and re-educated by the best of the science on the meissner-like effect of meditating in groups.

It is terrible how bad they have let the administrative state of it get and evidently keep at it by their inaction on what has become the status quo of decline. Timeline Summary: March 2011 through July 2012 17 consecutive higher months YOY due to many projects to increase attendance (so there is a precedent for long-term attendance increase if fundamentals and certain projects are in place). August 2012 through Sept 2016 - 50 consecutive lower months YOY, beginning suddenly from a specific cause (our continuing drop did not begin when the Grant was temporarily stopped one year later, it had already been going on for 12 consecutive months). Feb through June 2016 - Attendance up YOY in Women's Dome due to Festival of World Peace Oct and Nov 2016 - Attendance significantly up YOY due to October Surprise/'elections' Dec 2016 through Feb 2017 - Attendance a little lower in both Domes YOY March and April, 2017 - Attendance substantially lower YOY ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : Magnanimity.
