You know Mr. Hamilton, if we look at the past history of Fairfield Life, it has
declined from as many as 4,000 posts a month to a trickle. Almost everyone has
abandoned it, and it would appear you had a lot to do with it, by removing
people you disagreed with.
Rick Archer had made this an open forum, and you did not, you segregated people
out based on your beliefs, it would seem under the pretext that messages
violated Yahoo Guidelines.
Now you may notice Fairfield Life is now reborn on groups.io, about half the
people previously on FFL moved there. I have not moved there yet.
But perhaps you realize that narrowing the spectrum of what is allowable is in
the end a somewhat tyrannical method of enforcing what you wish people to
believe. But people believe all sorts of things, profound to inept idiocy. You
cannot enforce what people think is true, even if it is dead wrong.
The content on this forum will disappear soon. Such is the nature of evolution.
[FairfieldLife] In the Spiritual FF satsang:
Fairfield, Iowa's Divine Mother Church, Downtown at the Fairfield square.. ...join us for Empowerment Healings on Saturdays -- and Feast of Light sessions on Tuesdays, led by Connie*. Some highlights of our extended calendar are listed here. Be sure to check listings for all the events in the calendar below. Feast of Light Healings These sessions are a wonderful pick-me-up in the middle of a busy week, and we encourage you to take advantage of them. They are shorter than the Saturday sessions, so they can fit into your lunch break. Tuesday, 12:15 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. Central Time USA Attend these sessions in person at Divine Mother Church, 51 N Court, Fairfield - or by teleconference at 712-770 8027, CONFERENCE CODE 468716. Conversation From the Fairfield satsang.. Q: David Spero is very good at a transmission of soul energy but this other, he is not directly of this other process of spiritual body, subtle body and cultivating those processes as the heart-mind and such as Janet, Matt, or Cynthia particularly entail it. 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. Then is the sublime value of the Divine masculine, it is this open mind, it is this capacity of consciousness itself, the experience of the silence. But it is only part of what needs to happen in this process. In David there is a type of unification in process in what unity is, there is both. 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. That is what Cynthia Bourgeault was talking about with this ecstatic languaging in Christianity, that there is a way it gets language-ed historically. Q: AND THEN you have David Spero activating, transmitting soul energy this other aspect, shakti. Is able to trigger that palpably in people. He is very effective at transmitting this. A: That is the first track Matt Kahn is describing, that is what the first group is. That is that job. His job is the first ascension group. He is out there holding the light, that is his job. In FF satsang: ...Don’t get hung up on Matt Kahn’s goofy shirts that he wears. or his delivery. But Matt Kahn is cheering on those of us who are so interested in and have been dedicated to spiritual development, the Big “S” Spiritual development, upliftment. That it is not for nothing. That because as one has been engaged in it that it is not useless in this world or it is frivolous or inconsequential to what needs to happen here. That actually it holds the vibration and holds the criminal element back. He says that it is all part of one light, even the ones who are asleep. They are all still of the light. It is very uplifting. He has quite a construct of understanding, as a teacher at another level, as a native adept, like Janet Sussman. He is both very practical and advaitin-like in a way he strips down to the essentials, stripping the constructs, the excess to get to the essentials, the essential value of nonduality, which Cynthia very astutely gets to. . ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : The FF Satsang continuing, over coffee: “..They are meant to be together (head and heart) . You don’t abdicate the head, the brain, the mind or the heart, they are together, the ‘masculine and feminine’..” Q: it sets up a duality talking about this, identifying it. A: What Matt Kahn points out is that there are people on various tracks, we are all on ascension tracks, we are all in tracks, this is not a better than the other. The first track is the one is where the people are standing in light where the people are light bearers. Where people are light holders. The people who are in consciousness where they are standing there in the light and that is their main job. Being light holders. Then you have the second track, which is people who are becoming activated by what they see as problems in the world and they are going to look for social justice solutions, constructs, and so they are activated, and then a third track of people asleep. The third track is people who are always up to technology, on their phones, who their reference is always the phone, IT, technology. Light holders, social construct, and then the asleep who are willing and wanting to wed themselves to technology. Matt Kahn is saying we all have our place in this, we are all in to this together. In his view this is going to become very clear in the next two years, unambiguous. These Three general tracks is how people are
[FairfieldLife] The Glory of Being near Guru Dev
This is being shared around the community.. Subject: Guru Dev ** The Glory of Being near Guru Dev >From a talk about Guru Dev which Maharishi gave in Hertenstein, Switzerland >around 1974-1976 . The priceless transcendental nectar in which saints and seekers lose themselves and forget everything during their deep meditations in silent barren places - when that same nectar, that very same experience is had in nearness to the lotus feet of Guru Dev, in an unmoving and stable manner, with the eyes open and in a completely wakeful state, the incomparably blissful transcendental torrent floods the inside and outside, and the mind is drowned in ecstasy. Certainly this state in the nearness to the lotus feet of Guru Dev is much more desirable and enjoyable than the state where we forgot everything in samadhi. In that state at the lotus feet of Guru Dev, wave upon wave of the bliss of samadhi rises in myriads of forms and channels in complete wakefulness. That is the experience of jivan mukti, by the grace of the lotus feet of Guru Dev. The experience of the unshakable bliss of samadhi, when we are completely awake, is the jivan mukti, drowned in which the great Mahatmas become Brahman. At this time in this silence, in the nearness to Guru Dev, that is the experience. There is an inexpressible happiness, a feeling of huge elation, the heart is overwhelmed by ecstatic feeling like the heaving of an ocean of love, an ocean of bliss, as if the blissfulness of pure consciousness is rising in powerful torrents to surface from somewhere deep inside; and outside, Guru Dev's wordless, enchanting, inviting, nectar- like love is an infinitely large ocean. Torrential waves are rising from this limitless ocean on the outside, and diving deep inside and having struck the deepest depths, are rising outwards again and again, and then falling at the lotus feet of Guru Dev in voiceless ripples softly heaving and vibrating in ecstasy. The hand and feet and ears and all the senses, together with the heart and mind and intellect, are bursting with the fullness of that ecstatic feeling. Every tiny atom of the body is enveloped in that unbounded transcendental bliss of Brahmananda, and is melting into that experience as if into an indivisible, everlasting union with pure radiant love, untouched by time, space, or any other constraint. The limitless ocean of the heart bursts forth in wave upon torrential wave of invincibility and freedom. That unchanging, eternally stable, and timeless bliss, which is beyond the senses and transcendental in every way, is being experienced at the surface value of life at one single time simultaneously by all the senses, by every part of the physical body, and by the entire heart, mind, and intellect - all this by the grace and love of Guru Dev. The whole of life, the gross physical body, the subtle body, the transcendental inner phase of life, is throbbing and heaving with ecstatic feeling that is only bliss, just ecstasy and the nearness of Guru Dev. Outside on the terrace, it is as if the gentle ripples of the lake are nudging the sides and sleeping vegetation to awaken them to enjoy the tender moonlight. And there, on the terrace, the divine illumination of the lotus feet of Guru Dev is giving the power of life to the brilliant, inexpressible, transcendental sun of pure consciousness, to allow its waves to shake the heart of the ignorant disciple, to bring enlightenment and jivan mukti. The disciple is awakening from sleep. He is rising up. His ignorance and doubts are being erased. The fog facing him is lifting and the long journey is being quickly completed; the goal is becoming visible; it is right in front. Reaching it is all that is left. The other shore barely appears, and Guru Dev, the captain of the boat, throws a chain around the docking post to hasten his disciple's arrival. Great good fortune is needed to be able to experience the unbounded grace of Guru Dev and to continue to drink of that infinite ocean of bliss… The point being brought out here is the blissfulness experienced in nearness to the true Master. The point to notice is how the Guru, by giving his disciples and other seekers the experience of the different and varied aspects of Brahman strengthens every disciple's progress on the path of evolution and carries him to the pinnacle of perfection. The thing is the same, pure consciousness, but the Guru gives the disciple experiences of it in such a variety of ways that remove every shadow of doubt that could become an obstacle to the disciple's progress. This is the glory of being near Guru Dev
