Srijau asks, I don't see what the logic was in sending people home! Dome is 
outside??

It was the routing of fairfield Super Radiance..
Sidhas told to leave group meditation, to ‘go home’.
A profound failure in leadership, it was incredulous to see happen.
..The flood of meditators out of the Dome group program in retreat.

Yes, ‘twas remarkable spiritually. Others there meditating in the Dome
mention a commonality experiencing a type of pressure that was in the
collective spiritual atmospheric up to the eclipse totality and then what was a
palpable profound release and lightness that came as the eclipse totality
passed. Very clear.

Chatting yesterday with one of the magnificient 20 who held out meditating in
the Dome during the eclipse while leadership ran people away the guy told that
he meditated there in the Dome for the four hours of the eclipse and it
seriously was ‘the most profound meditation he has ever had’.

That “We hold these truths to be self-evident”. ‘Should’ is a great word and
should fairly have its place in civic life and personal hygiene. 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.

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!

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.

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.

Of course everyone should be outside! Unbelievable.

Live during the eclipse.. Txt msg.from the Dome:

Bevan told the IAssembly on Saturday to Not be in the Dome and go home during
the eclipse! That is treason
against all that we are as a group of transcendentalists. Sedition. Stunningly
bad.
..
At about 9:20am the flower of the Dome meditating program got up and left, a
lot of really powerful meditators exit-ed to go out anywhere on their own
during the eclipse. It looked like a factory shift change with so many people
leaving out the doors of the Dome.

..
A magnificent
20 are hold out in the men's Dome right now with the total eclipse hard upon
us. Send reinforcement.

There was also a palpable effect when one was outside watching. 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. I would
have elected to meditate outside, personally.

'Palpable' seems to be the qualifier around the experience.

A really nice palpable quantum change in the field here in the Dome as the
total of the eclipse is passed.
