Clearly there are things which enhance spiritual life as there are things which do not and in that sense there are Golden Rule things that people should do and things they should not in context. There were a lot of indicators that people should have stayed in the Domes meditating. It was an astonishing abdication of leadership that sent people out of there. In that sense that particular leadership should be reprimanded as there should be new leadership at that level or someone should retire (or be retired) from any possibility anymore of the making of or administration of policy like that ever again here. Groups define themselves by ‘shoulds’. That he should have gotten away with this? The guy has a little cult of personality going there with the 10:30am Dome meeting. The abandonment of the Dome by leadership was particularly stunning. emily.mae50 writes: You're right. I retract that statement. Personally, I hate the word "should" also. I was refuting instructions to the opposite. Thanks for sharing this! What a great story! I wouldn't have believed that this would have such an impact. It was so glorious and brought out our shared humanity and the best of it. And, I didn't even get the experience of totality! ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote : Yes, and standing outside the doors in the shade of the Dome’s door portico during the air inversion of the dimmed sun was unique. Anyone was free to walk out and look at the sun. However the meditation inside the Dome right from the start of the eclipse was particularly unique. j_alexander_stanley writes: I don't think people ==should== be outside. I think they should do what feels right for them. For me, that meant driving down to the path of totality to watch. I kept an eye on the weather for 10 days, and on Sunday, I decided that I really wasn't up to the 13 hour drive out to Casper WY, where the skies would have been clear. I knew I'd be settling for partly cloudy weather from Nebraska to Illinois, so I ended up taking the shortest drive, down to Columbia MO. I parked in the Eagle Bluffs Conservation Area, where there was a small crowd of other like-minded folks. It took an hour and change from the start until totality, and when that last little bit of sun disappeared, it was absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. The shared experience in the crowd was that words can't describe the magnificence of it. It was one of the most extraordinary experiences of my life. Pure, awe-inspiring glory of Nature. Amazing. Oh, and the animals didn't "go crazy"; they quieted down. And, during totality, we could see Venus. It was so cool. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <emily.mae50@...> wrote : Of course everyone should be outside! Unbelievable. Live during the eclipse..

Can't imagine why one would miss it if they had the opportunity (you guys had about 92% coverage I think). Of course, glasses were mandatory to look directly.

Think of the source of all life and atma being eaten away and totally disappearing. It is a spectacular view but negative energy on all subtle levels. Watch the animals. They go crazy during such an eclipse. We are told that we should bathe and fast starting two hours before the beginning of the eclipse (not just totality) and then be inside with curtains drawn meditating and chanting in this case solar mantras like Gayatri and Aditya Hrdayam or studying shastra etc. Two hours after the eclipse, take another bath and you can eat. All food turns to ama during an eclipse. Any activity to manifest something should be avoided three days before and three days after a total eclipse like this. And for the next six months on the day Moon is in Magha (the nakshatra polluted by this eclipse) no auspicious activity should be undertaken. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote : Here in Fairfield the Domes are available to be indoors and inward during the eclipse for those meditators who have Dome badges. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote : The eclipse..
