Seems we have a bunch of post election vata deranged people who call 
themselves "liberals".  If anything they're being used to tear the 
country apart.  Otherwise I think the grounded people from both sides 
could find some common ground to agree on.

He is lustful, greedy, power hungry and angry.

These are the qualities that the latter chapters of the Gita have 
warned people of goodwill for millennias.  Srila Prabhupada used the 
term "demoniac" to describe these types of people.  Any questions?

Praxis Now! 
 “Praxis: Action grounded in particular values.  To act rightly or goodly; 
action that furthers human well-being...It is not simply doing something, which 
Freier refers to as activism, or simply talking about, which he refers to as 
verbalism.  Instead it refers to a creative and dialogical process, where 
people come together to describe and name their realities and then act with 
others to create a more non-violent, socially just, and inclusive society.” 

 I know ya;ll are angry, afraid, overwhelmed, shocked, etc. but this will 
require real engagement and action to change this.  Social media venting will 
not stop it. We will all have to be involved in turning our neighborhoods, 
communities, and cities into sanctuaries where this hatred cannot exist… and we 
must all hold each other accountable in this work.  Ya’ll want to talk good

science this way they may not grok what is completely current in the cutting

..A  healthy embodied system on the map of
 Spirituality, and the ‘Behavioral Axis’..
 

Commentary from the Fairfield satasang 
 “There is a horrible narrative out there about how unethical meditators have 
been with money dealings, business dealings, fundraising, and babysitters. At a 
minimum the leadership in going forward needs to get out in front of this now.  
They ‘should’ be absolutely direct, frank in asserting that in going forward 
the meditating community in truth is NOT that; that our movement communities 
will only tolerate legal and honest behavior of its employees and members in 
going forward in behavior according to the published codes of Cities, States 
and Nations where we live and that anything less will NOT be tolerated, at all 
and grounds for dismissal. Then also sack anyone, like that Mayor of Vedic 
City, who gets up and willfully disrespects the group with alternate facts. The 
guy quite evidently  should never be given the podium or microphone again at a 
meditator community meeting. It was worse than jumbling numbers but 
mis-representing. That is it, the leadership should not allow the meditating 
community to suffer this kind of blatant alternative fact hyperbole anymore. It 
has for so long reflected so badly on the meditating community, this needs to 
change right now in going forward.
 An old meditator out in the Fairfield meditating community who heard what that 
raja guy pulled at the Jan 12th meeting asked why the guy was even speaking 
there? Pointing out that Maharishi Vedic City is not part of the .org movement 
anymore than a group of meditators who live together in a neighborhood on 
Wilson Blvd. in Fairfield or Seven Hills, Ecovillage, New Glasco, or meditators 
living in Ca-Lu Apartments together. Or should they also be given microphone 
time at Dome meetings of the meditating community?”

 ‘Spiritual loss’ evidently is measured by experience in the human subtle

do that which you know to be wrong’, carries moral import that is not just 
ethical or philosophical study but spiritual. 

 MMY: 
 If communication accomplishes something on the gross, but damages something on 
the level of feeling, then it is a spiritual loss!

 Ethics, 
Later on MMY counseled a type of self discipline.. to be happy and mind your 
own business towards being regular practicing meditators and ‘on the program’

maybe different from social cultural ethic like the Golden Rule, that kindness

 A hardwired morality of self-interest v Altruism..
 

 In a core worldview that life is nakedly a selfish struggle for money and 
dominance the great act of moral decoupling woven through this in this 
worldview, morality has nothing to do with anything.  Altruism, trust, 
cooperation and virtue are unaffordable luxuries in the struggle of all against 
all. Everything is about self-interest.
  
 Powerful, selfish people have always adopted this dirty-minded realism to 
justify their own selfishness. The problem is that this philosophy is based on 
an error about human beings and it leads to self-destructive behavior in all 
cases.
  
 The error is that it misunderstands what drives human action. Of course people 
are driven by selfish motivations — for individual status, wealth and power. 
But they are also motivated by another set of drives — for solidarity, love and 
moral fulfillment — that are equally and sometimes more powerful.
 People are wired to cooperate. Far from being a flimsy thing, the desire for 
cooperation is the primary human evolutionary advantage we have over the other 
animals.
 People have a moral sense. They have a set of universal intuitions that help 
establish harmony between peoples. From their first moments, children are wired 
to feel each other’s pain. You don’t have to teach a child about what fairness 
is; they already know. There’s no society on earth where people are admired for 
running away in battle or for lying to their friends.
