[FairfieldLife] Re: Vying for #1 Spiritual Experiences..

2017-02-22 Thread dhamiltony...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]

There is some thought being given recently to publishing some of the ‘number
one’ experiences such that people outside the Domes could have some insight as
to what is going on inside. Maybe even inspire meditators to come to the
collective meditation and meditate again.
This ‘experience checking’ on the assembly started back some years ago to
follow how it was going for people on the assembly and then somewhat in
response to a criticism that was common and said about TM, “..where are you
enlightened?”. Those of us who live and meditate here in Fairfield know people
who are doing quite well spiritually. Rick Archer started his interviews on
Batgap on this premise too and effectively scooped the TM movement entirely on
this.

The testimonies on BatGap fall into different categories and generalizations

MMY commentary..
Just this word: potential dynamism. That means it is dynamic in its unmanifest
state, and it is completely silent in its manifest state. So there is silence;
there is dynamism. This is the field. We can see it as the basis of creation,
the silent basis of creation.

‘Vedic Science sees it on two levels. One level is the dynamic nature of it,
and the other level is the silent nature of it. And the Vedic awareness of both
of them at the same time is in the junction point of it.
The value of opening our awareness to the junction point is that the mind
remains silent and the mind remains dynamic, potentially—potentially dynamic
and obviously silent. So here is the silent state of the mind which is
potentially dynamic. That means all thought, speech, action—anything about
it—is completely natural on that level of human awareness. This human awareness
at that level, we call Transcendental Consciousness. It has transcended all the
dynamism of it and has settled down in eternal silence which is potentially
dynamic. This is a very beautiful state in which everything is a possibility.
..everything is submerged there. The value of consciousness opening to the
field of all possibilities is that whatever is inherent in it opens to single
awareness. When the awareness is open to that, then the awareness is open to a
level which is silent and dynamic, both at the same time.
‘The whole creation is a reality of the unmanifest field. The whole creation
is the reality of the unmanifest field. Opening to that level is opening to the
mechanics of creation. “Mechanics of creation” means lively functioning of
total Natural Law. And then we say, “Lively functioning of the will of God.”
All possibilities [are] there. That is why one wants to have it in one’s
awareness. It is just a matter of knowledge, just a matter of knowledge that I
am there.

For some the assembly format of sharing the number one meditational or
spiritual experience also can serve a means of being seen in an otherwise
mostly anonymous group (Top-down patriarchal). And of course of human nature
this can roll over into being of a type of heady specialness for the ego of the
individual or group.
A friend recounts her sharing her experience at the microphone and it was
declared a number one over the mic and in her coming away from the mic through
the Dome was greeted with congratulations, people holding her hand, some kissed
her hand. She is seen now and there is some confidence there that might not
have been there before.

Something quite fair to admire about the meditation Assembly is that like most
other projects that Maharishi undertook he used the facility of the project to

individuals and research on the collective of the Assembly.

Quite a lot of advancement has been made in replication of previous study.
That has been a large part of what it was about and then going further.

Certainly people have experience with the meditation to study. The Domes it

their software is broken and people are finding their changes don't

Yep, interesting observation about the cultural gap. A cultural difference for
Indian Gurus and such coming to the West might be that behavior is not just
‘karma’ but also judged by or held up to The Golden Rule and the first
amendment (bill of rights) of the US Constitution, cultural sensibilities about
ethics and morality that are not tempered in the same way as elsewhere.

In the last couple of years I was glad for the insight which people here on
FFL gave throughout in their critique and takedown of the ‘spiritual’
ND’edPersonality. Some of that insight was helpful in the process that brought
the change of leadership to the University here.

In some of the discussion here on FFL it was pointed out that narcissists will
fall down when their practical performance in life is actually looked at.
..That organizations or groups can protect themselves from the ND’edPerson by
having clarity in missions, job descriptions and performance evaluation. ..the
bigger the narcissist the harder the fall that can come.

Performance is basically what turned the president here out in that case. What
were more formative values to the group guided and prevailed in the process by
looking at all the metrics of performance. It became pretty clear that a change
of leadership was needed for the essential survival of the group.

 Mindfulness is the combination of awareness, centering, and being present. It 
is the awareness of your thoughts, emotions, actions, and energy. It is the 
ability to get centered and stay centered in all situations. And it is the 
ability to be present, not letting internal and external distractions take you 
from the current moment. This leads to the development of empathy, compassion, 
love, balance, and harmony.

 This scholarly work recently has been to translate into English for the 
sharing of an insight into the old writings of these activated spiritual 
mystics that were in their tradition going back in Europe.  An equating of 
Amana as a cross-cultural/tradition spiritual term is used entirely coincident 
here below but apropo. 
 
The Amana mystics going back through time evidently had their own developed 
technical descriptive nomenclature from those times that was useful then to 
describe the spiritual states (SOC) they were in. This nomenclature then being 
used in what were ongoing ‘separatist’ satsang movements of spiritual practice 
groups was evidently formed around the state of experience.  Their nomenclature 
in culture worked for them. 

 Sort of like the nomenclature of the Invincible America Assembly in Fairfield 
is developing its own working jargon descriptive of spiritual state ..that 
likewise works for contemporary meditators inside the Dome experience. -

 In spiritual circles it seems there is an amalgamation of nomenclature going 
on that is drawing from different cultural traditions and historical periods 
about spiritual ‘states’ of presence.  One can see a cross-cultural postmodern 
language-ing developing in the SAND conference talks and places like on Rick 
Archer ’s Batgap interviews of spiritually awakening folks who are from across 
different cultures or backgrounds.

 #Nomenclature 
 the jivan mukta, the embodiment of the soul,

 some old TM'ers writing about it..
 

 ..It is tricky territory. Descriptions are often confused with other stages or 
sound paradoxical. It's not something the mind can "get" as it’s so outside of 
experience - even for someone in advanced Unity. 

 Some that do use the term are referring to presence or consciousness rather 
than actual Brahman.

 .. but in terms of stages of development and part of a process.
 Those that do talk about it often only do so with advanced students. It’s not 
what they speak about in introductory stuff. Maharishi included.

 The nomenclature, It is interesting in trend to see nomenclature equating that 
is going on between people of different spiritual systems or lineage in these 
postmodern times.  
At the SAND (science and nonduality) conference, ‘consciousness’ as a term 
seems to be commonly supplanted for favoring ‘presence’, or ‘states of 
presence’, like a new-speak by-pass around pure awareness, consciousness or 
wakefulness to connote a spiritual state of Being.

 Amana is a Sanskrit term which means ‘without mind’. Amanaskata is a condition 
where there is no mind. It is mindlessness. This is the state in which 
jivanmuktas or liberated beings exist.

.. this could be frightening to a layperson's read, describing this state as 
‘mindlessness’, and it could easily feed into a prejudice anyway about

There is not question about the guy's narcissism, I think, however, that there 
is the issue of the culture gap here. He wouldn't have imagined that the jury 
would try to bankrupt him for issues that were not even criminal. But this is 
the United States...

 I always thought that Maharishi was wise to establish his base in Europe. You 
never know what they might have found even on him.

My 2 cents.
