This needs extra-ordinary leadership right now to rally the meditating community to meditation.

Dr. Hagelin and our other bona fide scientists with real degrees of study need to step up and lead on this holdup with the Dome numbers.

Contact Dr. Hagelin right now, share your concern that he work with the other scientists who are of the few Trustees who ‘own’ the movement to get to work directly on remediating so much of the damage that was previously done to our communal ship of state here in the years of the Patterson-Morris administration. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : It is time for the tru-believer faith-based religious of TM to relent.

How about first remediating the guidelines, re-articulating what we are about with the Domes and a campaign to increase numbers of people doing program in the Dome before you guys re-introduce fees and that having to come to get stickers, with all that visits to the course office entails of ‘validating’ badges. Do some of this other work first to increase numbers of meditators coming to the Dome and then deal with a fee later. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : Rolling out the Dome fees.. Inevitably there will be some drop off when a meditation fee gets re-instituted. Do due- diligence before you roll out Dome fees. Very little leadership had been done under the Patterson-Morris administration with interfacing in the larger meditating community to present the why and the what we are doing with the Domes. Do your leadership work first before you taint everything in the discussion with fees now. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : A better administration of the group meditation is needed right now to increase the membership of people meditating doing the program in the Domes. Right now quite evidently this needs to happen. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : This was a terrible state of administrative matters that let things get so bad with the numbers meditating there in the Domes and with the meditating community here. Emergency action needs to happen to make this meditation about expansion, to pull this out of nose dive. This needs some extra-ordinary leadership right now out in front. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : Dr. Hagelin is one of the few people who in legality actually ‘owns’ ™ by virtue of being one of a very few Trustees at the top of the corporations that are ™ now This becomes critical for critical mass here. Ask him now to use every ounce of fiduciary responsibility and trust that he has to right this right now by joining a coalition of the other real trustee- scientists who are at the top and dictate a proper policy according to the evidence base of all that is science. It is time to push the faith-based ashram-ites out of the way of meditation program practice and lead past them. Everything is at stake here right now.

The TM tru-believers assert their discipline over others that: “They made promises..” and want a punitive retributive discipline over old meditators using membership at the Dome meditation. A common response In the old meditating movement community.. “..The only promise I made was to go teach people to meditate as I learned to teach meditation from Maharishi and to not let money get in the way of anyone learning to meditate.” ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : Surveying: "In the dome they got discouraged. The cohesion was destroyed by endless bar raising to the dome. People were made to feel bad." ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : People spoke to different aspects in the meditating community meeting at Phoenix Rising. Some people in the line at the open microphone spoke to the collapse of the Dome numbers in their experience saying things of regret that 2,000 meditating together is way more than 200 to the effect. Those particular policy problems related to the Dome numbers around the guidelines for Dome group meditation membership were not directly taken up or responded to at the Phoenix Rising meeting. In the preliminary meetings leading up to the Phoenix Rising meeting it was summarily expressed that the leadership feels for the status quo, that people ‘made promises’ and therefore should not be in the Domes for practicing other competing systems to MVS, and then it was qualified a little in the process of meeting to be more particularly around those who ‘work against’ the movement. Work in process. Also it seems there is a cultural disavowing inside that the ‘guidelines’ for being in the group meditation are neither punitive or disciplinary. This needs a lot more conversation between factions. Leadership have not acknowledged that those being either studied and practiced in any astrology systems has anything to do with how people practice meditation. That whole non-compete clause in the guidelines could stand to just be omitted. Invite those few who it effects freely back in to membership. That would be an important telegraph. There is another preliminary working meeting tomorrow coming up on how to go forward with a communal process. 'Work in progress.' ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <r...@searchsummit.com> wrote :
