Stewart Oestreich Robert Oats Jerry Jarvis Peter Just Enloe Willingham Friends You probably heard that Enloe Willingham passed last week. The following is a story that he told to four of us who were present in his hospital room about a month ago. Enloe was one of the 108s in the early 70s. One day Maharishi asked a group of 108s: Who would be willing go to foreign countries using their own resources (not the Movement resources). Maharishi also said: you just have to go there, I will do the rest. Enloe went to Indonesia, a country he knew very little about at the time. On his way he was told by several people: be very careful, they don’t like foreigners in Indonesia, especially Indians. So Enloe decided that he would spend the first weeks in Indonesia just getting a feel of the country, not mentioning why he was there. One day he was in a shop. The shopkeeper’s three small children were there and Enloe asked the shopkeeper if he could take a picture of the children. She agreed, but said: come back on Sunday, they will be nicely dressed. When Enloe returned on Sunday, the shopkeeper asked: What are you doing in Indonesia? Enloe replied: Have you ever heard of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi? She replied: Yes, he initiated my whole family when my father was ambassador to Sweden. She introduced Enloe to her father, who then introduced him to the top people in the government, many of whom Enloe initiated. So Maharishi’s words came true: Enloe just had to go to Indonesia and Maharishi did the rest. Now Enloe has gone to another new location and we expect Maharishi has taken care of the rest there.

There will be a gathering for cremation at Behner Funeral Home in Fairfield, 2pm Friday Sharon Starr Cynthia Cole Whoever has come, will certainly go; nobody stays here. Always keep your bags packed. We never know when the call will come. The call of death is like an arrest warrant: there is no hope of further "appeal."72 Then and there, one must drop everything and leave. Wherever, however, one must go. This need not be difficult if you are prepared from the beginning. He who is always ready to go cannot commit sins. Sins are possible only when one forgets about the life hereafter. If one can always remember that he has to leave one day, then a man will never adopt lying and bad conduct. Realizing that your fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers have not stayed, it is easy to understand that, "I, too, cannot stay here permanently." Since it is certain that you will leave, then those people who prepare for the journey at the outset can rest comfortably; and if you are not ready, then you will surely have difficulty. Take care: "don't do something that will make you repent when you go."

Since then a switch over in new generations has come along and evidently some are gone reprobate with their being way more spiritual than religious. Likewise FFL in reflecting spiritual community this old theological argumentation may sit fallow not resonating with today’s more commonly found spiritualities. Sometime as you may visit Fairfield I’d have you meet a friend in the area who began TM in high school while at a Quaker school out East, then studied in St. Louis at an ashram there with [ Swami Satprakashananda (1888-1979), a monk of the Ramakrishna Order and a disciple of Swami Brahmananda, founded The Vedanta Society of St. Louis in 1938. He had the good fortune of seeing Swami Vivekananda in 1901, and later he met Sarada Devi and nine direct disciples of Sri Ramakrishna. The swami was a great scholar and wrote several books on Vedanta.] ..then this friend was sent out from the ashram there to go ‘return to Jesus’, to seminary and thence was a Methodist pastor in churches in Iowa, was ordained Greek Orthodox and subsequently became an Elder with the Primitive Baptists at a point. He lives nearby Fairfield and comes singing with a harmony group of meditators in Fairfield. I see him most every week. http://fairfolk.org/prairieharmony http://fairfolk.org/prairieharmony You would appreciate visiting first hand and talking around the theology of the Christian ‘Elect’ and such with him.

Predestination and election are both biblical teachings.

[FairfieldLife] Hidden agenda behind Trump's Wall
Keep the Mexicans out of the USA. At the same time, give contracts to build the wall to friends of Trump or the Republican Party. And have all Americans from various political spectrum to pay for the boondoggle. I don't believe that the American Constitution was designed for this purpose.
