[FairfieldLife] Fwd: Know anyone with a smart meter? Valuable testing is available

Know anyone with a smart meter?  Valuable testing is available
Smart meters are needed soon for testing

In the ongoing effort to determine if smart meters are safe, Jay Marcus, 
Attorney is seeking to contact Alliant customers who are currently using a 
smart meter.  We are specifically looking for smart meter customers who live in 
each of the Fairfield communities, including Utopia Park and Maharishi Vedic 
City. However, any Alliant customer in Iowa would be helpful.

How you can be of help

We are asking you to contact your friends, neighbors or work associates who 
have smart meters to ask if they would be willing to allow for the testing of 
their meters to determine the safety of their units.  If they choose to 
participate, we will ask them to sign a simple consent form.  The testing, 
depending on the orders of the Iowa Utilities Board, will be sometime in the 
next few months, and will not cost them anything.  No one will enter their 
home, they do not have to be at home or do anything to allow for the testing.  
The testing will take but a few minutes so it is possible that they may not 
know that the test was actually done, and the results of each individual test 
will not be identified as coming from their meter or be made public in any way.

The goal of this test is not to convince anyone to opt out

The purpose of the test is NOT to convince the customer that they should opt 
out, but the customer can ask for the results of the test if they want.  By 
participating in this test they are not acting in support of Fairfield Safe 
Meters or Alliant, neither will they become involved in the hearings or 
activities of the Iowa Utility Board.

Your help is needed right away

If you know of anyone who might accept the testing, please send this email to 
them.  We'd appreciate as many responses to this email as soon as possible. 
Thank you for your support!

Those ready to participate in the test will get useful information about their 
own meter and also  help determine how the community can best deal with the 
situation.

To Consent: Those who consent can either sign, scan and email me the consent 
form, or simply email me with their name and address and say that they 
authorize me to sign the consent for them. To participate they must be the 
owner of the residence or a renter who pays the utility bill.
Thanks.

Gave the tour of the place again yesterday, the editor of Communal Socieities 
was driving across country and showed up at my doorstep for a short visit. I 
drove her through the whole thing. For outsiders it can be stunningly 
impressive to come and grock the scale of what has been done here in the 
meditating community. Appreciating the 40+ year investment in facilitating 
transcendentalist meditation practice. In a context this is a very American 
story here.

 One session of papers presented at the annual conference of the Communal 
Studies Association was on ‘the end of community’ with three in depth papers 
given on three different communal groups. One of the groups was a 19th Century 
group something like our own in Fairfield and the others were of more secular 
communal groups of the earlier 20th Century and late 19th. 
 
 The commonality in their three narratives was what came as diffusion of their 
core values in time as there came along arrivals of newer outsiders in 
membership and fewer of generations born to the older founding generation would 
stay on in community. These trends were supplanting to founding generations 
then in time. Hence, the loss in perspective of foundational core communal 
values over time as those values came to not be so well spoken to (championed) 
or lived in these groups. 
 
 Evidently once core foundational values diminished in time within each group 
example there came in a mundane to the workload of sustaining ‘community’ as 
resources of energy and altruistic goodwill ebbed and dried. The cohesion of a 
communal ‘shakti’ generally went down, people leave, people stop coming.  Each 
group then arriving to point whence their assets of what had been built up to 
facilitate their core values are then auctioned off. The sale. 
 
 Within the examples in these papers was the group of Zoar separatists, 
something like our own in transcendentalism, seems something of a template for 
how it goes with spiritual practice groups as our own:  Diminution of the 
cheering of core values, administrative rigidity setting in, loss of people, 
loss of altruism towards the community, loss of donors, loss of critical mass, 
financial crisis, and finally an auction of assets attendant to the dispersal 
of community.

 A long declining arc of the Dome meditation attendance numbers in what is the

 Unseen, 
 for as large as our communal ‘artifacts’ here in meditating Fairfield appear 
to be, a tragedy which people coming from the outside will not be able to see 
is the collapse in aggregate numbers attending the communal group meditations 
inside the Domes.

 A driving tour yesterday around meditating Fairfield again for a visitor, this 
time an old SRF (Yogananda) meditator visiting Fairfield.  
 The scale of our whole facility of communal meditating is remarkably stunning 
 when visitors get to see the whole scope of it. 
 It is fun to see and be with people when they 'get it'.

 In TM community it is said: “The Past is a lesser state of evolution.”  But, 
financial planners warn cautioning us otherwise,  “Past performance is not a 
guarantee of future returns” .  Towards becoming something else like a historic 
site to visit, according to these histories evidently things may not look the 
same as what we may see now as community.
 
 
 Already we are hearing grumblings in TM from what is an elder International 
Council of Rajas that the Domes in Fairfield, Iowa are too expensive to 
maintain.  While at the same time the University being without endowment 
requires active and substantial donor cohorts every year to make budget for 
what all they should like to do to keep on.  With prospect in communal core 
values, the hopeful in re-developing community are constrained in reality by 
budget and human resource right now. The complexion of the core group that is 
remaining quite evidently is not what it once was in youth. May p
