 What does CAFO mean?  This should have been defined by Hagelin to clarify what 
we're fighting against.

meeting Thursday night

 Dear students, faculty, staff, and community members,
 
 Please join me for a very important meeting on Thursday, October 19, to 
address an issue that affects us all and determines, to a great extent, the 
quality of life and future of our community.
 
 The incursion of unwanted CAFOs in Jefferson County has been an ongoing 
concern, and over the past year in my role as president of Maharishi University 
of Management, stemming the growth of CAFOs has become one of my most pressing 
priorities.
 
 All that we have achieved through our Consciousness-Based Education programs, 
and all that our business community has accomplished to support the local 
economy, could be in jeopardy because of CAFOs, which are spreading like 
wildfire across the state.
 
 Thankfully, through the tireless work of Jefferson County Farmers and 
Neighbors (JFAN), the growth of noxious CAFOs in our community has been held to 
a minimum—in dramatic contrast to our neighbors. At this critical moment, we 
need JFAN more than ever—to ensure the environmental integrity of our community 
and to prevent the unrestrained proliferation of CAFOs in Jefferson County!
 
 This year's JFAN Annual Meeting, “Breaking the Grip of Corporate Agriculture 
on Rural Iowa,” features agricultural insider Alan Guebert, the award-winning 
columnist of the popular Farm and Food File, syndicated weekly to 70 U.S. and 
Canadian newspapers.  “I really do believe there is a way out of this mess,” 
says Guebert, who will share his vision of how that can be accomplished. 
Guebert contends that there is a role for everyone in driving change, and he 
will outline ways our community can step up its game.
 
 Johnson Country Supervisor Mark Carberry, will join Guebert to discuss what 
Johnson County is doing to address the CAFO situation in his county and what we 
all need to do to force changes that protect people and the environment. Dr. 
John Ikerd, Professor Emeritus at the University of Missouri at Columbia and a 
member of the JFAN Board of Directors, will provide an overview of industrial 
farming and its stranglehold on the Iowa legislature.
 
 David Sykes, JFAN legal counsel, will give a legal update on the Iowa Supreme 
Court challenge to the last vestige of the Iowa Right to Farm Law, how to 
analyze and challenge the new Nuisance Law passed this year, and how we could 
beat infringing CAFOs in courts of law and in the court of public opinion! 
We'll also find out about a new case filed in Jefferson County regarding a CAFO 
south of Maharishi Vedic City.
 
 Once again JFAN has a splendid Annual Meeting planned for us! I encourage you 
to attend not only because of the breadth of information that will be shared, 
but I urge you to join me at this must-attend event because a packed house at 
the Sondheim is essential for driving a strong message to the pork industry 
that CAFOs are not welcome in Jefferson County. This is a simple, enjoyable, 
yet essential way that you can help protect our precious meditating community.
 
 Please mark on your calendar — Thursday, October 19 at 7:15 pm at the 
Fairfield Arts & Convention Center, 200 N. Main Street, Fairfield, IA. The 
meeting is open to the public and free of charge.
 
 I look forward to seeing you there!
 
 John Hagelin, President
 Maharishi University of Management
 
 P.S. We cannot afford to diminish our support for JFAN, which is pushing hard 
for a statewide CAFO moratorium in addition to efforts to keep CAFOs out of 
Jefferson County. These issues affect each and every one of us today, and 
future generations that will inherit Consciousness-Based Education.

number of meditator churches which are quite spiritual. There are quite a lot

[FairfieldLife] Morning Meditation

[dhamiltony...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

Morning Meditation
  by Diane Frank
  
 Once again I am in the silent place
  where all motion is
  sun, moon, universe;   
 where the tadpole becomes a galaxy
  and stardust is the seed
   of a new life;
 where my deepest thoughts and dreams
  sing mountains into being
   sing the moon
 and the reflection of junipers
  on the water
 in the hallow carved
  by a shower of falling stars.
  
 I am wide awake
  inside the light that knows my name,
   your name
 and the secret silent names
  of lichen, peony, salamander
 crossing the mountain path
  and disappearing into ferns and forest,
 the underbelly of the dreams
  the planet has been spinning
   for billions of years.
  
 I sing where the light shines
  inside rocks, the song of silver,
 the music that becomes clay, mountain, river
 the cedars along the cliff by the ocean,
   the monarch butterfly, the hummingbird, backlit
   with moonlight, earth and sky.
 A billion years, a moment,
  music of touching in the glow of  
 the peach light of a new morning.
 The inner circle
   of the heart inside the heart
   where love is an open sky,
 and I follow.

Ethical behavior as a leading economic indicator in a civil society,, Evidently

 Never Entertain Negativity. What has it meant?  FW: Not only its results in an 
unhealthy degree of aversion for the realities of life, another result is a 
sense of spiritual failure that one even HAS trials and difficulties at all.  
After all, we are all about perfect health!
 
 FW: An other implication of this negativity statement is that it has 
effectively crushed any constructive criticism/discussion about the need for 
change and/or issues within the TMO.  People who had constructive input to 
share were therefore at least unheard, and even dismissed and shunned.
 

 ..like the signature of some Prime Minister’s 40 years rule.
 

 Honesty is the best policy -when there is money in it.

 It is about Ethics as a Leading Economic Indicator now. For the New TM 
movement changes from within process are a necessity of the marketplace..   
 

 FW: “Never Entertain Negativity”,  This ethos "never entertain negativity"  is 
a crux of the problem here.  This has created a world of psycho-spiritual hurt 
in our tribe.
 

 FW: A Cultural Survey..
 

 
 "Never entertain negativity".
Would you be so kind as to give us your understanding of what this phrase has 
meant to you and how your understanding has impacted your life. And if you wish 
to ask someone else their view on this phrase and submit it with yours, that 
would be great.
 

 
 What has it meant? Culturally this sanctioning of blindness has allowed some 
really bad ethical behavior to go unchecked. In the marketplace TM it seems is 
well known for things not being right around money, sex and power. “Never 
entertain negativity” is a root of silence in its culture which has allowed, 
coerced, and condoned some really poor and even appalling ethical standards in 
a group of people. That would be my observation. It is said that change comes 
from within. There evidently is a lot of movement going on right now in the new 
TM Movement. I can see a hope for a better TM movement in process, like in 
changing or even getting rid of this ethos as an administrative policy tool.

 FW: Dear friends,
..on a committee, the Shifting Cultural Attitudes Subcommittee for the Mental 
Health Alliance here in Fairfield I am working with a sub group of that 
committee, the Cultural Committee, on one particular area right now. Which is 
to understand the meaning of phrases that have become a part of our local 
culture here. There are phrases which mean many things to many here. Some of 
these meanings may have lead to an erosion in mental health.
 I have written this group as a smattering of a cross-culture living here to 
get your understanding of the phrase, "Never entertain negativity".
Would you be so kind as to give us your understanding of what this phrase has 
meant to you and how your understanding has impacted your life. And if you wish 
to ask someone else their view on this phrase and submit it with yours, that 
would be great.

 The 1980 Pledge. 
  Things in TM did seem to change from about then to become some lot about some 
theocratic sense of fealty and a lot less as to merit and performance. Is 
noteworthy that the Saha Nav hymn was extracted up to become a normative 
organizational code of conduct in an oath then (1980).
 

 

 C: The context is his teachers who were bitching about each other. Maharishi 
wants them to get back to work pitching his product and STFU about their 
personality problems with each other. 
 

 

 

 Quote from Upanishads, which was used in Vedic Atom Pledge (1980)
 
Let us be together,
Let us eat together,
Let us be vital together,
Let us be radiating truth, radiating the light of life,
Never shall we denounce anyone, never entertain negativity.
 

 

 Culture:  Never shall we denounce anyone, never entertain negativity.
 
 Such that within the culture of TM the TM negativity policy like with the TM 
Saha Nav Hymn for instance, if someone commits a larceny within an element of 
the organization then by the teachings it would be entertaining negativity to
