[FairfieldLife] NASA finds easy access to water on Mars

[jr_...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

It appears that the colonization of the planet  may be easier than previously 
thought.  It would probably pave the way to building cities built by AI robots 
from materials taken from nearby asteroids.  Elon Musk may have started a new  
Mars industry of the future.

Re: RE: [FairfieldLife] RE: Fairfield’s Cr isis of Meditating Numbers in the Dome

[skymt...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

Thank you for your responses. The information and insights that you provide are 
helpful.  

 Regarding the administration's areas of concerns, such as non-MV Yagyas, I 
assume these are present tense concerns -- and not concerns for some minor 
things in the past. 
 

 I understand the admin concerns if an applicant is currently sponsoring 
yagyas, or actively practicing or promoting some other self-development 
methods. However, I assume that it is not an issue if one is not currently (nor 
for many years) involved with any other program or practices. 
 

 For example, if this is the policy, then some type of limited yagya 
sponsorship 20 years ago would be irrelevant to participating in ILC and/or 
Dome programs. I know you don't speak for the course administration, but any 
insights that you may have on the experience of contemporary IAA and ILC 
applicants would be helpful. 
 

 I do notice that the ILC application appears distinctly gentle and 
considerate.  I assume this reflects a newer, kinder and mature approach 
compared to some more rigid admin guidelines and policies that may have existed 
in the past. For example, the application asks, 
 

 "Please let us know the names of the two TM Teachers you are most well known 
to, so we can give one or both of them a call. ... This is not a compulsory 
question. If you don't know two TM Teachers, that's okay. ..."
   
 Thanks.

 Whatever yagya..  
 If you want to come to Fairfield for respite or to ‘feel the vibe’ just simply 
apply. It is pretty straight forward for many.

 

RajaWilliam here below or some people may feel supporting various yagya 
programs is even irrelevant as to whether someone should be in membership 
meditating in the group but there is a small ownership group inside who have 
their own creed about this that has become religious-like test amongst 
themselves as to what Maharishi may have said at some point and whether that 
can be changed. 

 Of course yagya and other divisions of M Vedic Science are not relevant to 
most meditators who come simply as practitioners. All along people have 
practically used civil disobedience to be in the communal collective of the 
Domes as practitioners when it comes to what creedal religious-like rigidities 
were embedded in the membership guidelines over private life..  

 The powers that be took a chance to change this recently last month, down to 
some short simple paragraphs of guideline as to whether someone simply has 
learned ™ and the ™-sidhis and would simply practice the program as taught but 
they did not take the simple path and have kept to their creedlism with a 
couple or three non-competes like the non-Maharishi yagya still embedded as 
fealty test.
 

 Go ahead and apply. 
 They want meditator program numbers in the Domes now and they are not 
intending to be as confrontational as they once were with the membership.
 

 The Domes are spiritual wonders of the world as places to meditate. Come and 
be in them if you can.
 Best Regards from Fairfield, Iowa,

 S, Actually you are the kind of person that is hoped for to have come back. 
Come regardless of what you may have heard of the past administrative state of 
culture here. The Domes are fabulous places to meditate even so. There is a 
great and deep spiritual practice community here. The administrative staff want 
to hear that if you join the group here you’ll practice in the Dome ™ and the 
™-Sidhis program as instructed. That is fair enough as far as their 
facilitating it. The assembly office staff has nothing to do with editing the 
guidelines or policy so there is no point contending with them otherwise about 
the state of the guidelines. 

 The guidelines have been some remediated down now from how restrictive they 
once were over people’s private lives, as they were written and cobbled before. 
Now they are down to three restricting areas: people who particularly have 
studied with and practice Art of Living practices, people who promote or may be 
too involved with other spiritual teachers, and people who promote the use of 
non-Maharishi yagya. The main interest other than in those particular 
paragraphs of the guidelines is that the intent is in facilitating the program 
for people practicing ™ and the ™ Sidhis program simply as instructed, 
uncorrupted by other practices. So it is.  

 With your being out of affiliation for so long, in applying they may wonder 
where you have been(?) And, of course, keeping even these remaining non-compete 
clauses keeps an ‘administrative’ staff busy adjudicating membership that way. 
Mostly they are nice and good people doing a job. Instead of so much work to 
separate people from the Dome program the more recent interest is in getting 
people into the Domes to meditate doing program. 

 You were asking about the program, it is the same basic program you got before 
adjusted for particulars of scheduling to what has been the larger assembly of 
folks that was here after 2006. Apply online ahead of time through their web 
page and when you come to pick up your badge there will be a short orientation 
as to specifics now. It is quite flexible actually.

 Kind Regards from Fairfield, Iowa,

 "guidelines for Dome group meditation membership were not directly taken up or

 In the preliminary meetings leading up to the Phoenix Rising meeting it was 
summarily expressed that the leadership feels for the status quo, that people 
‘made promises’ and therefore should not be in the Domes for practicing other 
competing systems to MVS, and then it was qualified a little in the process of 
meeting to be more particularly around those who ‘work against’ the movement. " 
 

 What are the current guidelines for Dome Group meditation membership?
 What promises are being referred to, above, "made promises" ?
 What practices are considered "competing systems to MVS" ? 

 Is there a timeframe for this? That is not practiced for x years?
 

 


 





  


 
 
  The yagaya program now is not set up to Maharishi's teachings.

[FairfieldLife] Fwd: For iced windshields, spritz 2/3 isopropyl or rubbing alcohol + 1/3 water

Nothing kills your morning vibe faster than one of winter's most annoying 
manifestations: the frozen-over car windshield. You could resort to 
time-consuming methods like scraping the glass or letting the engine run for a 
while, neither of which is ideal if you're rushing to work. 

But there is a smarter, faster way: Spritz on a solution of water and rubbing 
alcohol and thank science as you watch the ice dissolve. 

The simple recipe: 

1/3 cup water
2/3 cup isopropyl or rubbing alcohol
Pour the mixture into the spray bottle, spritz and be gone

 Good advice throughout this NPRadio piece: the material we attend to, the 
company we keep (satsang) and actually meditating. My wife is a meditation 
teacher from way back and has been contacted more recently by people she taught 
years (decades) ago who are simply appreciative of having learned to meditate 
and relating that they still practice it for all the good reasons of 
meditation. 

 Yay, good reflection on meditation (as a tool in the spiritual tool kit), and 
meditating in groups can be helpful too. Like meditating in the Fairfield Domes 
if for no other reason can be ‘activating’ of a meditative inner experience.
