The profile of our meetings are getting to be quite geriatric. At the top they evidently are not to share their podium yet with millennials at our large community meetings. There was a big meeting on campus recently with the top leadership and other than a couple token young persons sitting with a parent on stage it was an adult only presentation. The 30 or so (conservative) people who currently own and run the movement it seems are most anxious to set in stone processes, procedures and guidelines as they see were laid down braced for a thousand years rule, and not just let anyone come in and change anything before they leave the stage. The attrition in most all the elements of TM has been huge and long with basically the same people in charge for 40 years. It is down to hundreds who are inside, not the thousands that once were. Back in 2009 in response to a student uprising in the university over the student experience at the university a survey by interview was hired. When the results were presented to the university president his response was that he 'was going to hold on to the university until his last dying breath'.

The difference between Boomers and Millennials - individualistic vs. collective (ME vs WE) Also, that with Millennials slower and lower forming of families and less need to show off with flashy stuff will come a slower economic growth – no need for flashy house, car, clothing, jewelry. But they do value experiences – restaurants, travel, bars, “We” Versus “Me” Generation By Harry S. Dent Jr., Senior Editor, Economy & Markets I have three step kids. Two are generation X. The youngest is generation Y. Just looking at them, you can tell a clear difference in their personalities and aspirations. My older step kids are more individualistic. The younger one is more oriented to the group and collective interests. It’s a fundamental difference that speaks by-and-large to both generations. And it’s a difference we need to understand given the troublesome economic climate we face. You know that one of the major points of my research is that the millennial generation will neither fully replace nor surpass the boomers the way every single generation in history has before (not to mention the millennials are much smaller in most developed countries). This is something most can’t wrap their head around, because the millennial generation is indeed larger than the boomers. But they’re larger only in terms of total numbers. They started out with higher birth rates and their birth surge lasted longer. However, they never have peaks in births, adjusted for immigration, quite as high as the baby boom. In other words, this generation will never take us to new heights in stocks, in home buying or car buying or most sectors of our economy! And that is more critical for their future economic impact. The chart below comes from the seminal book Generations by William Strauss and Neil Howe. It shows how there are four broad personality types that emerge in two birth waves every 80 years or so. Here’s another point about generations most people don’t get. Strauss and Howe went back centuries to document their findings. Their research adds a social/political dimension to the economic cycles we’ve identified. See larger image http://click2.economyandmarkets.com/t/Cg/Ey0/Fiw/ABQLeg/AAFNuQ/AAG4Aw/AQ/0OLK What this shows is that for every birth wave that is more individualistic, inner-directed, or me-oriented… another follows that is more conformist, outer-directed, or we-oriented. And each wave changes as it rises and falls. At the start of the individualistic generation comes a rising and more dominant “idealist” group. In our case, this is the baby boomers, and the Henry Ford generation before them. Then comes a declining “reactive” group, like generation X. The idealists want to change the world radically. Throw out the baby with the bath water! Sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll! But they also bring about major revolutions like automobiles and personal computing. Coming off that high, the reactives want to change the world and improve it in more practical terms, like with the Internet and global communities. The civics follow in the next rising birth wave. This group is more collective. They’re all for the good of the whole. They were the Bob Hope generation, the World War II GIs that banded together in tough times. That is the same group as the millennials emerging today. And when it comes down to it, these guys get the most stuff done due to their collective instincts. That’s why Tom Brokaw called the

# TSR Survey ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Yes, this larger survey is interesting base-line data on the larger meditating community in Fairfield from back when the meditating community and the Dome numbers were more around their peak as the long decline (attrition) was then ensuing. You can see the seeds and the consequent beginning of the cultivated socioeconomic exclusivity sprouting then and the administrative separation of meditators from membership in the group meditation over visiting saints and spiritual people that had started in the late 1980's and through the 1990's to present. Since the larger sample community survey of the early 1990's there have only been small sample surveys of sub-groups. In a way the recent book on Fairfield [How a New Age Movement Remade a Small Town in Iowa] by the journalist, Joseph Weber is a survey by extensive interviewing of the Fairfield meditating community that is current. A few years ago when there was such strife in the sustainable living students an interview survey was hired and conducted of the university SL students about their experience at the university. The results were presented to the administration and then defended against by the President. That survey and more recent surveying has been useful more recently in guiding some policy changes around the university and MSAE student life currently. While the progressive side of the TM movement has been methodically tracking metrics and hiring marketing surveying related to the teaching of meditation, there have not been broad surveying of the meditating community of the scale of the 1994 survey. That could proly be too frightening for some of the key patriarchs of old administration on watch of the movement to see. The closest thing to that kind of surveying would be a larger ongoing survey of collected first-person cases by a sub-committee of the Fairfield Mental Health Alliance compiling cases where people have felt their well-being was effected by their experience with the culture of the movement. There is a range and distribution to those collected cases which have clearly indicated areas for policy changes that could improve elements of culture and consequences in aspects of the movement. Elements of the movement are moving on some of this while some ideologues try to hold a dogmatic line against it. Having 'data-points' has been extremely helpful towards seeing policy. There is a lot in process going on and things are also fluid. -JaiGuruYou ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : This is interesting but 20 years old.

In the field of written surveys, a response rate of 33% is considered outstanding. Survey respondents come from a cross-section of our community: 84% have been meditating for 16 years or longer; 68% have lived in Fairfield for seven years or more; and 68% are registered for Super Radiance.

As a change in course this particularly is a substantial one to notice. That is new and a new welcome thought. While the larger attempt at transparency is a frank signature element of the change; however, the definition of the Fairfield meditating community away from just the TM-sidha/yogic flying TSR Dome-going community to include [TM] meditators of the community as the Super-Radiance Community is the substantial change. Loaded down old super-tankers don't change course quickly. This is an attempt at a major change of direction even in Fairfield where there are so many old meditators of the TM movement and most who live as meditators in the meditating community without much of any relationship to the organization. I wish the corporate TM organization all good shipping through the chop of the narrows they are sailing through. -Buck in the Dome Pablum? No, actually this memo is a major and conscious policy change. Most you don't live in Fairfield or have nothing to do with meditating Fairfield. Possibly you are or were once practicing meditators. This particular memo as sent out is actually a really important change of direction. By policy initiative it is an attempt to organizationally soften, facilitate, re-gather and include meditators again by policy in to the interests of the TM movement. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi for whatever reason left to founder the meditators and the meditating movement un-attended from late in the 1970's shifting his attention on to programs for advanced meditators around yogic flying and the TM-Sidhis and monumental projects for creating Heaven on Earth. So it was and so it is; and, the meditating element of the movement crescendo-ed from those days and times of higher point. Now as part of a practical process of succession planning the re-inclusion of 'the meditator' is back in to a definition of our corporate communal policy as essential formative element. This is a huge strategic change in direction being brought about by some savvy old [retirement-aged] field teachers of TM as recognized necessity. The TM-teaching movement is once again being generally successful and this policy move is timely and strategically helpful towards unifying and supporting that larger regeneration of a meditating movement otherwise.

Some people say it's Fata Morgana. Others say that it's a NASA conspiracy plan to create a new religion.

If that's the case then,the understanding and intent of the 14th amendment may be in the process of being challenged in the courts.

I doubt citizenship would ever be taken away, but denied in the future and should be. Otherwise, you have a magnet that draws people here to violate the law in order to establish legal residency.

I thought the rubiskarika (or whatever it was) is a guaranteed way of improving the world, and they've been doing them in India almost daily for nearly 20 years now. I'm starting to worry that this is all a phase transition, a bit of unsteadiness due to stress release - The storm before the calm if you will.
