To help increase acceptance of the meditating community in Fairfield to the Dome meditation, could we open an emergency edit of the National Guidelines for group meditations and the Domes and strike those 'non-compete' clauses around people practicing or promoting other systems of non-Maharishi jyotish/astrology?
An edit was done previously around the exclusion of people teaching non-Maharishi Yoga. This month now let us strike the non-compete language and stop holding the ‘Dome Badge’ over a meditating community as a primary means to discipling a workforce (the re-certs) otherwise. Put the disciplining of movement employees otherwise over to human resource people or the legal department. The blanket ‘non-compete' clauses using the Dome badge as a preferred weapon to interface with the community are needlessly antagonizing to the larger mission of our having a substantial communal group meditation in Fairfield. Right now let us move at least on letting/inviting our avid jyotish practicing/promoting alumni of the movement back in the Dome with the rest of us who would practice ™ and the ™-Sidhis there. This would be a major telegraph to the community that something has changed. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : Coffee haus satsanga notes: The meditating community here needs acknowledgment, appreciation, gratitude, and sympathy. Don’t just feed the mind with ‘knowledge’ meetings. Meditators here also go to saints there because they feel better there. The ‘feel good’ was lost in the TM community because of the virulent TM culture of demeaning, patronizing, shady dealings. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : Responding, For those on fixed incomes.. offer MVVTechnologies and Punchakarma at an affordable price.. when most are on social security at $900 or so month, if that… there is no discretionary income left over..

Not more big top-down podium table meetings. People who are active in life here are not going to come to a top-down podium meeting where the microphone is open in the way that happens in Fairfield meditating public meetings that reinforce a top-down patriarchy. That is tired and boring and people who are about life are not going to go there." "They are terrified about losing control of some vedic idea." "Meditators effectively making life in Fairfield are about their business and lives and less likely to show up at a meeting with people who do not have personal filters. They (leadership) should meet with people here who are about it doing community life." "The movement has long shut the door on being included in the broader sense into a dynamic inclusive community that is meditating Fairfield. The people who are making community happen were out of town that week visiting Ammachi. The admin will make their conclusions about what is not in their own minds from that?" "..It is not about ™, we all grew up here and made lives. The campus is tangential to life in Fairfield." ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : FW: Wake things up, open a starbucks outside the dome in the am.. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : Increasing Means of support: FW: Buy on Amazon, Ebay = Donate to the Meditation Assembly An average of 5% of any purchase on Amazon, Ebay, and 250 other online stores will go the Invincible America meditation Assembly if you go to the following website (brightFutureNews.com) and click the green bar in order to go to the store you want: https://brightfuturenews.com/s hops?a=cipek https://brightfuturenews.com/shops?a=cipek Just click on the above link, then click on the green bar to shop, and choose among 250 shops, including Amazon, Ebay, and hundreds of other online stores.

Supposedly there were flyers up all over, but I guess not where I shop. There was scarcely a necktie in sight, and only a few Jai Guru Devs (which I suspect drive you crazy) were uttered. Hagelin even admitted that when he took over leadership of the movement, it was a "mess" regarding TM instruction. The fee was too high and no one was learning. Since then the fee has been lowered and initiations have gone up. What’s it lowered to? Let me guess…it’s still way too high. It must be the first time in history that a TM movement leader has admitted that anything at all in the movement was "a mess.” ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : Mail: To bring our community together again one of the challenges of getting an extended huge group meditation together is sustainability.

Mold and poor construction seem to follow the TMO like a bad case of the flu since they rarely take good care of things. Would love to know the condition of Barhydt pre-1973, was it a mess then? If not, it’s just one more building that they let go to ruin undoubtedly because they wanted a good excuse to get rid of it, maybe because it was positioned slightly awkwardly. Who knows. Beautiful old place, I would have paid the half mill. You know how the TMO pisses away $$?? Gold this and gold that, expensive leaflets and catalogues that nobody reads. But a beautiful old building, not to mention the ponds as well as potholes galore? The nicest parts of campus were the ones they got rid of first. Meanwhile the ghastly frats? As well as most of the so-called pods? Still there. It’s like they want the campus to be as ugly as possible, and they are succeeding. And Doug, you have got to be kidding. You know as well as I do it was all for show, people in white sitting looking down on everyone else while they pretend to care for about 10 minutes. But let others in that have been banned? Oh no, we won’t go that far! Elitism at its finest. Remember how “modern mental health” was going to be coming? How many young adult suicides have there been since that?

When I was at MIU, I had to meditate on the rock-hard pews in that mold-filled shithole. It was full of mold because the roof leaked; they threw a bunch of money at the roof, and it didn't stay fixed because the foundation was crumbling. It was gonna cost around half a million dollars to fix the foundation, and it didn't make sense to spend that kind of money on a building that wasn't all that useful to the university. Plus, it was also Sthapatya Vedicly wonky.
