If you have hope and your hopes are continually dashed it is very hard on your psyche or to maintain a balance to function and so on, do I have hope? I have always been hopeful but it is the wrong question. I may not have a lot of hope but it is not a hopeless situation, it is ‘not all or nothing’.

Everything seems going the wrong way right now though there are glimmers, of that word, hope. Have hope or hopeless? The better way to think about it is having passion, you try to make a difference in your life. Do what you can to use the skills that you have to try to get change. A lot of people can feel guilty or try to make you feel guilty, that misses the point; it is not your fault. We can always try to effect change.

The Revolutionary Millenarian Transcendental Meditation Movement: Historically it is remarkable to see the similarities in organizational lines of relationship that is called on expecting and asking for broad change; with reference to one of the other of the 20th Century's millenarian revolutionaries by transliteration of Chairman Mao's quotations in to communal revolutionary millenarian meditating TM-ism: “If there is to be revolution, there must be a revolutionary meditating movement. Without a revolutionary meditating movement, without a movement built on the scientific and revolutionary theory of the ME and group meditation and in the style of science and spiritual experience of the Unified Field, it is impossible to lead the practicing meditator and the broad groupings of the meditators everywhere against the entrenched forces of reductionist materialism, of deconstructionism and their running-dogs.” “A well-disciplined meditating movement armed with the theory and practice of the ME, using the method of transcending meditation and linked with groups of transcending meditators; an army of such transcendentalists under the leadership of such a movement; a united front of all revolutionary spiritually regenerative meditators and all revolutionary group transcendentalist meditations under the leadership of such a revolutionary and millenarian [belief in a coming ideal society and especially one created by revolutionary action] movement -these are the three main weapons with which we have to defeat that enemy of spiritless materialism.” etc., hence it flows from the Red Book of Mao's quotations.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Muckraking Fairfield or Yellow Journalism
Q: “I was most interested though in "your take" on her part of the report about
the rash of suicides from 2008-2014 ..and how accurate you thought her
reporting was on that part of the report?
Thanks Again,”
Ans:
Keying on the suicide story there is interesting backstory to the processes of
community here of the meditating community. It is not that there were
necessarily more or less suicides in the meditating community compared to a
general population. State public health people were looking at that too.
Suicides happen all the time in Jefferson County like everywhere, within locals
and Christians too.
Suicides get handled in particular ways by public health process, law
enforcement and news reporting. By law they do not get publicly reported in
the papers as such when they happen. A euphemism in the papers for middle age
or young healthy persons reads something like “died at home suddenly” is a
coding that is given.
Back a few years ago with suicides in a few millenials who were known who grew
up here in the community an ad hoc introspective review was triggered by people
in the meditating community. That whole process in the end brought both
awareness of mental health and better services for mental health to the whole
community at large. It also triggered a review of culture and policies in the
TM movement itself which then articulated a modern mental health policy for the
larger ™ .org and the local university and school.
There was a lot of process involved over many months of a couple of years. It
was productive in a long run toward bringing together a better modern
understanding of communal mental health and better services for everyone
locally. It is still in process. Culture takes a longer time to move and change.
I just did a quick search of Fairfield Life to find posts that I put there to
chronicle the processes that occurred in the meditating community around mental
health. These came in to being in the Spring of 2014. A lot of work has been
done from then.
This is an early post narrating the time from 2014,

RE: [FairfieldLife] Re: The Importance of Group Meditation
Dear Drs. Hagelin and Nader: Now that the pundits are gone from Maharishi Vedic City, Iowa could you write the membership application guidelines for the Domes anew? The old guidelines are yet too inflammatory towards superradiance as they are cobbled and wordsmithed. Please sit and write with a new piece of paper a new and fresh Dome application guideline now for membership in the group programs, now the pundits are gone. Start with a fresh sheet of paper. Get it down to simple: did someone learn the ™ programs and that this is what they will do in the group programs for superradiance. This would be a good time to just go in and gut, drop the clause from the guidelines that remains excluding from membership people who spend money on ‘non-Maharishi’ jyotish and yagya. The earnest reason it was put in there originally evidently has gone away. It is time to just get rid of that clause in the membership application guideline. There is no sense now to having the office staff there investigating that one on people anymore. The pundit program had been a long endured suction of resource out of the Fairfield community. That clause about people spending monies on ‘non-Maharishi’ jyotish and yagya along with the couple of other clauses that are left there as some kind of fealty test within the membership guidelines is just needlessly inflammatory to succeeding with the Dome attendance numbers and superradiance in Fairfield now. Sincerely, Doug Hamilton. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : A morality, Q: I don’t recall anything about “principles of higher moral character” in the air when we first came here from Amherst. A: Meditation in groups, Maharishi was consistent the whole way about the utility of group meditating influencing a wellbeing of good for others at a distance. This remarkable idea in practice is a simple disruptor to a lot of people’s material paradigm but after so many decades of inquiry in to this observation the science has well borne out the hypothesis. And, Guru Dev too in his spiritual construct on moral order could have easily agreed now given what all we know from the inquiry of science, that people who do not go to group meditations when they could join with them are being amoral in their selfishness. That someone sitting out in a coffee house whether in Leiden watching videos on their laptop or those meditators idle downtown around the Fairfield, iowa town square at Paradiso, the Cider House, the Sushi bar, or in Revelations during the communal group meditation is near to worthless and worse morally in their contribution to the general good and communal welfare, a drag, amoral. So this, the virtue of group meditation is now in the reach of this spiritual but not religious time of science and spirituality that we do live in. Yet, people who would stay home by themselves, be it some Raja hold up somewhere out there by themselves, or an editor working overtime somewhere and may be would meditate later, but also an administration and its defenders with a religious-like adherence to ill-serving guidelines that should keep people away who could otherwise be meditating with the group evidently are all worst than sad but pretty bad morally.

For outsiders or people from away looking in on the experiment I recommend their reading "Greetings From Utopia Park" and listening to the NPR 'Fresh Air' interview of Claire Hoffman for insight to how it went. I don’t recall anything about “principles of higher moral character” in the air when we first came here from Amherst. Q: I appreciate what you’re doing with the group meditation thing, but I like meditating at home. I usually take a nap first, then just sit up and meditate. Times vary.

A: You can see why because all that can become distracting in itself. It is funny, one sort of chooses one distraction for another. It used to be that it was meditation, meditation, meditation in the meditating community until it became more multi-formed in a coming on of ‘Vedic Sciences’. ..That is because we needed to have the elevated value of this, the beautiful.

In what makes unity unity is not just infinite unbounded silence but infinite unbounded silence and infinite unbounded dynamism together at the same time. Not one or the other but both wedded.

Kim Jong-un warns of change in direction on denuclearisation He made the remarks during his closely-watched annual New Year's address. Mr Kim said, "if the US does not keep its promise made in front of the whole world... and insists on sanctions and pressures on our republic, we may be left with no choice but to consider a new way to safeguard our sovereignty and interests". The annual New Year's address is a tradition Mr Kim picked up from his grandfather, Kim Il-sung, founder of the communist country. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : ..at the interdisciplinary Global Zen Consciousness Conference in Atlanta... The conference was organized by the Shaolin Chan [Zen] Foundation, which hopes to “create a worldwide revolution by combining the spheres of science and Eastern philosophy to help humanity realize that at the deepest sub-nuclear level and at the innermost consciousness level we are all one.” “This was a breakthrough event, with both the modern and ancient corroborating each other in an authentic and science-based manner,” said Dr. Schneider, dean of MUM’s College of Integrative Medicine.

The influence of orderliness generated from the state of infinite correlation experienced during the Transcendental Meditation technique is so powerful that even one per cent of the people in society practising the Transcendental Meditation technique is sufficient to neutralize negative tendencies and give an evolutionary direction to community life as a whole. With the growth of individual consciousness, family consciousness, community consciousness, national consciousness, and world consciousness are enriched. More than one and a half million people currently practising the Transcendental Meditation technique are constantly intensifying the Maharishi Effect and contributing to the Age of Enlightenment.

You have worn yourselves out with fatigues and hardships of waging world peace, but we know not how to spare you. If you will consent to stay in the Domes only one month longer, you will render that service to the cause of liberty of all and to your global country of world peace which you probably never can do under any other circumstances. -Buck in the Dome Transcendental Meditation: Crime rate decreased in cities after one percent of their populations had begun practicing the Transcendental Meditation technique. -Editors Paper 98 Improved Quality of Life Through The Transcendental Meditation Program: Decreased Crime Rate Paper 98 Introduction In 1960 Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, founder of the Transcendental Meditation program, predicted that a transition in society toward a more orderly and harmonious functioning would occur when a small fraction -on the order of one percent- of a population practiced the Transcendental Meditation technique (6), and in December 1974 we found that crime rate did decrease in four midwestern U.S. Cities in which one percent of the population was practicing the TM technique.
