[FairfieldLife] Re: Berggruen Institute

2016-08-18 Thread dhamiltony...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]


 Mindfulness 
 and the Berggruen Institute.. Yours is an extremely insightful critique of the 
modern ‘mindfulness’ movement.  
 

 There is a peppy advert that runs on public radio in Iowa for a holistic 
health clinic that combines all health modalities up in Iowa City also using 
mindfulness.  Is the kind of thing that TM could have capitalized on except 
that TM was so focused on establishing its own franchising of exclusive TM  
trademarks.
 

  The thinking through and the redo of the mental health policy within TM last 
year opened up the view and policy thinking about integrating ™ and all modern 
health modalities more.

 Also,
 The books, Transcendence: Healing and Transformation Through Transcendental 
Meditation  
 and   
 Super Mind: How to Boost Performance and Live a Richer and Happier Life 
Through Transcendental Meditation
 

 seem to be a competitive push-back against the modern cultural empire of all 
that is ‘mindfulness’ in the marketplace now.

 thxI've been thinking of contacting Berggruen and informing him of the 
same point you have made; but I doubt he'll listen.
 Even more depressing is that the Mindfulness Center at UCLA (a few blocks from 
Berggruen's Center) focuses "modern" psychiatry and apparently completely 
avoids the transcendentalist component of the original Mindfulness originating 
in Buddhism.  They've unfortunately appropriated the techniques and downgraded 
them into a set of mind/body exercises intended to operate on a superficial 
level.
 Here's another UCLA center - of East-West Medicine - that operates in 
association with the Mindfulness Center.  Looks like those UCLA people have 
capitalized on some trends that eventually could amount to something 
"transcendental" but probably not soon.
   It's somewhat ironic that the SIMS Movement started there, and down the 
street on Gayley Ave with various people associated with Jerry Jarvis.  First 
lecture I heard re: TM was at UCLA by the Wallace and Winthrop Brothers and 
then later by Jerry.  MMY came there in (1968?).
  Don['t have time to explore the reasons why UCLA was the original hotbed of 
the Student's Movement but didn't amount to anything permanent; while there's 
currently a burgeoning Mindfulness Movement.  An important factor is the 
restrictive nature of who can become a teacher.  Any psychiatrist at UCLA can 
put a feather in his cap by becoming a Mindfulness teacher, without any fuss 
from a corrupt organization. This will add to his/her prestige since knowledge 
of Mindfulness gives one the appearance of inside knowledge into the 
inscrutable and mysterious ways of Eastern traditions. Unfortunately, they 
leave out the transcendentalist part.
 I'll dig deeper into this by contacting some of the faculty. Should be 
interesting to hear what they say!

Yes, and by our experience and by the composite of quite a lot of good science

Below are listed the twelve steps for performing the Surya Namaskar, including 
the "Astanga Pranam" asana position five. 
 

 It's not complicated, although some yoga teachers like to make it so by adding 
some extra steps along with breathing techniques and bija mantras for each 
position. 
 

 You seem to be having difficulty with this exercise so I've prepared this 
simplified routine for rounding and as an warm-up exercise before beginning 
hatha yoga in preparation for deep meditation: 

 

 Get down on your hands and knees and pray; repeat the mantra: "Om Surya 
Namah". 
 

 The important point is try to make a mood of being humble, giving thanks to 
God for sustaining creation. Of course, practicing under a teacher is always 
best, such as the Mahesh Yogi or Yogi Bhajan. Good luck and good fortune in 
your pursuit of enlightenment!
 

 Note: For older folks, or those with an infirmity or limited range of motion, 
getting down on one knee is considered almost as efficacious. Or, failing that, 
a simple pranam posing the hands at the heart chakra and repeating the Surya 
mantra with heartfelt devotion.

"Yes" what? 

 You didn't answer my question.
 

 I understand, of course, that group program is said to be more powerful 
(including by King Tony, below--"this is the greatest strength").
 

 What I *don't* understand is why people who can't make it to a group program 
should not be told, as King Tony did, to coordinate their individual program so 
as to fly at the same time as in group program.
 

 Also, I don't think it helps the movement's "transformation" to try to make 
people feel guilty if they can't get to a group program. That sounds to me like 
the Ancien Regime of Bevan Morris et al.

 Plus which, calling people who aren't able to join a group "slackers" is sure 
as heck not going to help them feel a part of the movement.
 

 We don't need to get crazed over this Jyotish prediction. That just adds to 
the general incoherence.

 No, you are willfully confusing the situation. The guy could stand tall in the 
sandals of Maharishi.  Maharishi was both one of the great visionaries of the 
20th Century and one of its greatest activist revolutionaries into the 21st 
Century.

 35 years has been spent separating people from the ™ movement.  It is silly 
that a few in this organization are reaching out asking for the collective help 
and sacrifice with what circumstance we have at hand and the leadership at his 
level is so tepid. An organizational need here right now is for some direct 
leadership with some clarity and spine that lays out the higher mission of who 
we are as transcendentalists and where we are going with this.  Not some 
appeasements and buried comments at the bottom of some talk.

 Right now we need some coordanated leadership from the top on this that does 
not get in the way of good work being done on behalf of the organization and 
movement.

 Om no. He should be pulling on his oar along with the rest of the team. That

retired meditators out on the periphery who could be contributing to the 
community to just stay slack by themselves.  It is apologetic for just 
meditating at best but a complete lack of clarity with Maharishi’s interest in 
the transformative power of coming together in collective meditation as 
practicing transcendental meditationists.  Quite evidently these are no times 
for people to sit back at home.

That's what I'm talking about!
 

 We moved up here to take car of Dad who has COPD and I've been observing 
animals and other creatures who live in the back yard out by the lake. Just 
today I witnessed a hummingbird attack another over access to the bird feeder. 
 

 Yesterday a road runner was chased off by swallows. Then, just now a jack 
rabbit ran away from a barking dog. It's been raining here all morning and 
hundreds of birds are pecking at the ground terrorizing all kinds of insects. 
 

 It's a war zone out there! 
 

 We've got to do something to protect ourselves. I'm thinking about erecting a 
screened-in back porch so they can't get in. That way, I could at least get 
down on my hands and knees and pray to the gods for protection without some 
pesky Zika mosquito biting my ass.

Well, this aught to be a good time for me to train my new Peregrine falcon.She 
was breed in captivity and never had to kill to survive. I have to be her 
parent and teach her. She just may go mid-evil under this influence. But I 
think that's what nature is doing right now. New offspring are showing up and 
predators are learning to feed. Thus the chaos at the bird feeders.

    That's what I'm talking about!
We moved up here to take car of Dad who has COPD and I've been observing 
animals and other creatures who live in the back yard out by the lake. Just 
today I witnessed a hummingbird attack another over access to the bird feeder. 
Yesterday a road runner was chased off by swallows. Then, just now a jack 
rabbit ran away from a barking dog. It's been raining here all morning and 
hundreds of birds are pecking at the ground terrorizing all kinds of insects. 
It's a war zone out there! 
We've got to do something to protect ourselves. I'm thinking about erecting a 
screened-in back porch so they can't get in. That way, I could at least get 
down on my hands and knees and pray to the gods for protection without some 
pesky Zika mosquito biting my ass.

I understand why some people don't live in Fairfield and thus can't get to the 
dome to meditate in a group every day. 

 What I don't understand is why the rajas and other residents of Vedic City 
apparently don't meditate in the Patanjali Dome of Pure Knowledge. Where do 
they do program and do they do it alone, or with their family?
  
 Most of the residents of the TM Ideal Village down here meditate and do 
program together in the Maharishi Dome of Pure Knowledge.

 "Yes" what? 

 You didn't answer my question.
 

 I understand, of course, that group program is said to be more powerful 
(including by King Tony, below--"this is the greatest strength").
 

 What I *don't* understand is why people who can't make it to a group program 
should not be told, as King Tony did, to coordinate their individual program so 
as to fly at the same time as in group program.
 

 Also, I don't think it helps the movement's "transformation" to try to make 
people feel guilty if they can't get to a group program. That sounds to me like 
the Ancien Regime of Bevan Morris et al.

 Yes, and by our experience and by the composite of quite a lot of good science 
we know that numbers of people meditating and proximity does matter in the 
Meissner-like transformational effect of groups meditating.  

 Someone just sent me a chart from another new study on this.  
 This ill-advise ‘non-localized’ comment from leadership just works against 
what is in the works of the movement right now and yet gives people codling 
excuse to sit back and be ill-disciplined when they could be helping by being 
in a group meditation.  

Yes, of necessity people’s circumstance may vary but movement policy has been 
splitting and bifurcating on this, eroding what transformational effect has 
been here.  Hence, the Dome numbers (218 in the men’s Dome this morning) being 
what they are. This is an administrative failure of the program.  People once 
could come to Fairfield, Iowa and be part of something larger.  This thread 
critiquing leadership is very much part of an ongoing larger conversation being 
had right now in the movement.  -JaiGuruYou

 Plus which, calling people who aren't able to join a group "slackers" is sure

 35 years has been spent separating people from the ™ movement.  It is silly 
that a few in this organization are reaching out asking for the collective help 
and sacrifice with what circumstance we have at hand and the leadership at his 
level is so tepid. An organizational need here right now is for some direct 
leadership with some clarity and spine that lays out the higher mission of who 
we are as transcendentalists and where we are going with this.  Not some 
appeasements and buried comments at the bottom of some talk.

 Right now we need some coordanated leadership from the top on this that does 
not get in the way of good work being done on behalf of the organization and 
movement.

Yes, there was specialness granted to sub-groups that sent people out. 
..established program halls
 ​ of which there are 11 (including the Domes)​
. The litany of this kind of bifurcation has bled the place. The anemia needs 
to stop and meditators should to come together.  Numbers in proximity quite 
evidently need to be attended to now as part of a collective re-group in this 
period. This needs conscious leadership.

 I understand why some people don't live in Fairfield and thus can't get to the 
dome to meditate in a group every day. 

 What I don't understand is why the rajas and other residents of Vedic City 
apparently don't meditate in the Patanjali Dome of Pure Knowledge. Where do 
they do program and do they do it alone, or with their family?
  
 Most of the residents of the TM Ideal Village down here meditate and do 
program together in the Maharishi Dome of Pure Knowledge.

 "Yes" what? 

 You didn't answer my question.
 

 I understand, of course, that group program is said to be more powerful 
(including by King Tony, below--"this is the greatest strength").
 

 What I *don't* understand is why people who can't make it to a group program 
should not be told, as King Tony did, to coordinate their individual program so 
as to fly at the same time as in group program.
 

 Also, I don't think it helps the movement's "transformation" to try to make 
people feel guilty if they can't get to a group program. That sounds to me like 
the Ancien Regime of Bevan Morris et al.

 Yes, and by our experience and by the composite of quite a lot of good science 
we know that numbers of people meditating and proximity does matter in the 
Meissner-like transformational effect of groups meditating.  

 Someone just sent me a chart from another new study on this.  
 This ill-advise ‘non-localized’ comment from leadership just works against 
what is in the works of the movement right now and yet gives people codling 
excuse to sit back and be ill-disciplined when they could be helping by being 
in a group meditation.  

Yes, of necessity people’s circumstance may vary but movement policy has been 
splitting and bifurcating on this, eroding what transformational effect has 
been here.  Hence, the Dome numbers (218 in the men’s Dome this morning) being 
what they are. This is an administrative failure of the program.  People once 
could come to Fairfield, Iowa and be part of something larger.  This thread 
critiquing leadership is very much part of an ongoing larger conversation being 
had right now in the movement.  -JaiGuruYou

 And you're being insulting. 

 I'm not "willfully confusing the situation," I'm asking you to clarify your 
remarks. I can't understand for the life of me why you'd object to telling 
people who can't make it to a group program that they should schedule their 
individual program to fly at the same time as the group.
 

 Plus which, calling people who aren't able to join a group "slackers" is sure 
as heck not going to help them feel a part of the movement.
 

 We don't need to get crazed over this Jyotish prediction. That just adds to 
the general incoherence.

 No, you are willfully confusing the situation. The guy could stand tall in the

20th Century and one of its greatest activist revolutionaries into the 21st 
Century.

 35 years has been spent separating people from the ™ movement.  It is silly 
that a few in this organization are reaching out asking for the collective help 
and sacrifice with what circumstance we have at hand and the leadership at his 
level is so tepid. An organizational need here right now is for some direct 
leadership with some clarity and spine that lays out the higher mission of who 
we are as transcendentalists and where we are going with this.  Not some 
appeasements and buried comments at the bottom of some talk.

 Right now we need some coordanated leadership from the top on this that does 
not get in the way of good work being done on behalf of the organization and 
movement.
