In honor of Jerry and in lieu of flowers, we are pleased to announce a special fund to support Debby, his loving, devoted wife. September 1961 In September of 1961, Jerry and Debby were instructed by Maharishi, and, after their first experience of the Transcendent, knew that the direction of their lives was forever transformed. They immediately began to study and work with Maharishi, helping him to create and grow the U.S. and international TM® organizations. Science of Being and Art of Living Jerry and Debby went on to become TM teachers in 1966 in Rishikesh, India. Both former journalists for the Congressional Quarterly, they later helped to transcribe and edit Maharishi’s Science of Being and Art of Living and his translation and commentary on the Bhagavad-Gita. Over the next decade and a half, Jerry rose to become the national leader of the TM organization in the U.S., and was instrumental in developing over 400 TM Centers, which brought the TM technique to more than one million Americans. Maharishi’s quest to spiritually regenerate the world The story of Maharishi’s worldwide movement is the cosmic, eternal story of the unfoldment of pure knowledge. And there is perhaps no part of this ever-evolving story that is more beloved than the early days, when Maharishi first set out alone on his worldwide quest to spiritually regenerate the world. It was Jerry’s extraordinary heart and naturally wise and mature guidance that played such a vital role in shepherding the many newly trained, youthful TM teachers at this early stage of Maharishi’s quickly growing organization. Our precious times with Jerry, his ever-present, bright, shining face, and the many wondrous, heartfelt stories, life-lessons, and beautiful examples of purity and devotion will always be a cherished part of our TM organization’s history. Archives and special manuscripts of Maharishi that were donated by Jerry and Debby will become an invaluable treasure at MUM. Once these materials are sorted and curated, they will be available to Meditators, Sidhas, and Governors everywhere. A passion for Maharishi’s knowledge In addition to his enduring love for Debby, there was nothing that Jerry felt more passionate about than Maharishi’s knowledge.

Answer: Having hope for action is a mug’s game ( A mug is a fool, one easily duped.) when the challenge for change has not been met, even for years. 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’. There is lots of things we can do as individuals to try to get change from the power structures, from governments, from politicians, leaders, from people. 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.

RE: [FairfieldLife] Re: The Importance of Group Meditation
, Invincible Defense Technology:A Non-Religious, Humane and Beneficial Approach to Peace.. The practical components of IDT are the non-religious Transcendental Meditation (TM) and the more advanced TM-Sidhi programs. When large groups of experts practice these programs together, a powerful field effect of coherence and peace is generated that spills over into the surrounding population. This effect has been shown in extensive scientific research that has repeatedly confirmed measurable decreases in war deaths, terrorism, and crime. Studies have also shown, for example, reductions in verbal hostilities and hostile acts, increased number of cooperative events, and other improvements in quality of life such as reduced accidents, hospital admissions, and infant mortality. These are all tangible signs of reduction of societal stress. Due to this research the non-profit organization Global Union of Scientists for Peace (GUSP) advocates this simple and cost-effective approach for reducing social stress (see: https://www.gusp.org/global-peace-summit https://www.gusp.org/global-peace-summit ).

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.

It nourishes all the laws of nature which emerge from the unified field and conduct all activity in nature.” -Maharishi Mahesh Yogi The Unified Field I go among trees and sit still, All my stirring becomes quiet around me like circles on water. -Wendell Berry All Possibilities > > Freedom > > > > > > Unboundedness > > > > Self-Sufficiency > > > > > > > > > > Bliss > > > > > > > > > > > > Integrating > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Self-Referral > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Invincibility > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Perfect Balance > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Fully Awake > > > > > > > > > > Within Itself > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Total Potential > > > > > > > > > > > of Natural Law > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Unmanifest > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Simplicity > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Harmonizing > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Infinite Correlation > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Infinite Silence > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Pure Knowledge > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Infinite Organizing Power > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Perfect Orderliness > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Infinite Creativity > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Purifying > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Immortality > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Nourishing > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Evolutionary > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Omnipresence > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Ominiscience > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Ominipotence > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Bountiful > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Discriminating > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Infinite Dynamism > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Freethinking
, Russian Transcendentalism.. ‘The highest wisdom and truth is like the purest dew, which we try to hold within us,’ said he. ‘Can I hold in an impure vessel that pure dew and judge of its purity? Only by the inner purification of myself can I bring that dew contained within me to some degree of purity. The highest wisdom is founded not on reason only, not on those wordly sciences, of physics, history, chemistry, etc., into which knowledge of the intellect is divided. The highest wisdom is one. The highest wisdom knows but one science; the science of the whole, the science that explains the whole creation and the place of man in it. To instill this science into one’s soul, it is needful to purify and renew one’s inner man, and so, before one can know, one must believe and be made perfect. And for the attainment of these aims there has been put into our souls the light of God, called the conscience.’ ‘Look with the spiritual eye into thy inner man, and ask of they self whether thou art content with thyself. What hast thou attained with the guidance of the intellect alone? What art thou? You are young, you are wealthy, you are cultured, sir. What have you made of all the blessings vouchsafed you? Are you satisfied with yourself and your life?’ ‘Thou hatest it; then change it, purify thyself, and as thou are purified thou wilt come to know wisdom. Look at your life, sir. How have you been spending it? In riotous orgies and debauchery, taking everything from society and giving nothing in return. You have received wealth. How have you used it? What have you done for your neighbour?’ -Tolstoy, War and Peace ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Of Free Thinkers and Orthodoxy, An essay, About our Church Building in Fairfield, Iowa: Here's the history about our church which is technically called the "Church of the Holy Spirit Charitable Trust." We use the name Fellowship of the Holy Spirit because there are too many churches named "Church of the Holy Spirit." The building was built in 1913, and first served as a bridal and tack shop for horses and buggies. Like every building on the square, it is long and narrow. This allows more stores to have a storefront. The owners lived upstairs and the backspace was for inventory and workshops. Very sensible. I don't know all the stores or businesses that have used the building. My memory goes back to Simone's - a clothing store owned by Julia Marchand and Bill DeKramer. Simone was Julia's daughter. At some point Julan White, Bonnie's daughter, bought the building. (Yes, Bonnie is the unforgettable owner of 2nd Street Coffee). Julan loved the building and was remodeling it when unfortunately it burned. John Minor, a local contractor who had once gone to seminary school, bought the burned out building to keep it from being razed. He figured we didn't need another parking lot on the square like the empty space next to India Cafe - empty from another fire. I bought it from John to restore as a church building. I paid $50K for the building, and then watched in amazement when I put in another $250K at least to restore it. I've never regretted spending the money, even though the building is not at all worth $300K. For me it has become a gift to the community, giving me great satisfaction to see how so many people and groups are using it for the spiritual upliftment of our community and world. Our church history: I was the original "Ru" minister of the Unity Church in Fairfield for 12 years. We had a Unity-ordained minister for 2 or 3 years before that, but one day from the pulpit she said: "The Holy Spirit has told me I have to leave, and that you (pointing at me) are the next minister." I pulled in 3 other people to be ministers with me - including my decades' long friend Connie Huebner. After 12 years, the main Unity organization realized we had become a real church with a church building and money in the bank. They sent someone up and said we couldn't do this - we needed a real Unity minister. They sent a Unity minister up from Quincy who was a fine person but didn't have the depth of experience to inspire and teach a church full of sidhas. So we split off, and Unity church faded away. Connie started the Divine Mother church, and I started the Fellowship of the Holy Spirit. Joy Hirshberg became the president of the local synagogue (a good Shiksha president!) and Eleanor Fleming moved out of town. We struggled with finding a good location, so I eventually bought our current building. It had been burned out by a construction fire - one of Julan's construction workers was sneak-sleeping in the building and fell asleep with a cigaret. I was going to do a cheap Walmart's remodel, but I fell in love with the building and my business flooded me with money so I tried to do a beautiful remodel. Funnily enough, after 13 months of remodeling, I had a Jyotish reading that said:
