Often David will give a spiritual talk. http://www.davidspero.org/ http://www.davidspero.org/ David Spero visits Fairfield, Ia. this week. Of David Spero, He was invited by some meditators to come visit Fairfield. This was an interesting satsanga that was viscerally spiritual. He is an old meditator having been a student at MIU. He got the ™-sidhis as a student/meditator on the old forest academies of that era when the sidhis were taught that way. He went on for his academic studies elsewhere and subsequently spirituality also has unfolded for him in life. He had not been back to Fairfield since those earlier MIU days and not involved with the TM movement since then. He has on his own been hosting spiritual satsang of darshan and dialogue for about 20 years with folks in small groups mostly out West. He does not teach techniques at all but does encourage people on in their spiritual practices. He evidently is very respectful of ™ and also of the community here. He became very sympathetic with the meditating community here on returning to Fairfield now yet had not idea of the scope of how it has gone since he had been here in the 1970’s. He evidently was impressed with the visit. His satsang is simply sitting in silence for periods of time with a transmitting field effect and then talking in dialogue about spiritual experience with the transmission. In the transmission there is light, ecstatic or devotional feeling, and current of shakti all as the state with it in the human system. It is a type of healing. Along with his own spiritual experience he evidently is very bright, well read/studied/travelled in philosophy, religions, mystery schools and spiritual disciplines. The dialogue was quite an advanced lecture from context of that standpoint as some intellects in the group would try to catch him out. But mostly the dialogue was about spiritual states and life. Interestingly from the Fairfield meditating community vantage he was quite able to freely draw on Maharishi’s books, quoting and explaining points in the dialogue using The Science of Being and Art of Living and then The Science of Creative Intelligence . The guy is not a ™ teacher but probably could out teach most ™ teachers from The Science of Being. His facility with The Science of Being and Art of Living was quaint to hear and does date him as to when he was a meditator and involved with ™. H

Reply email: Governors and Sidhas who are not taking Super Radiance meditation as important because most of them have been ostracized and disillusioned by the movement. And many of those who haven’t are not looking terribly healthy or sane. With the Dome meditation attendance having fallen to be so low there is a serious questioning about the endurance of the Dome group meditation in Fairfield.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Science says, therefore meditation is no good.
Scientists probably don't like to have a bowel movement without taking a study first. :-D Think maybe we're getting a little obsessed with science? Meditation feels good to do and I don't need any studies for that.
