As far as I know, mail-archive is not connected to Verizon/Yahoo, so it should 
be available until the site goes away.

I suppose it's possible that someone out there downloaded the entire FFL 
message archive before Yahoo deleted it, but I rather doubt it.

4.1% chance.

 

"It currently has a 0.41% chance of entering our planet's atmosphere, but if it

I agree completely with the evaluation Of Dr. Mike Yeadon, former Pfizer 
executive, on this COVID-19 pandemic hysteria. For political gain, and to 
destroy President Donald Trump, the political Left in the US has scared the 
American people to death over something with no more lethality than the yearly 
flu; we shut down the country, destroyed small business, closed the schools, 
printed trillions of dollars of fake money, caused 30 million people to be 
unemployed, robbed people of their constitutional rights, and, in many cases, 
mandated that people wear masks that are probably filthy from overuse and 
ineffective in the first place, to save us from the plague of the century; only 
it isn't true. It is fake, a phony crisis. If it was not so deeply tragic it 
would be hilariously funny. Even the corrupt Romans would have been hard 
pressed to think up a scheme as bad as this one has proven to be; and they were 
masters at it.

This is BS.   I am tired of people saying the yearly flu is worse.  When has 
there ever been 200,000 deaths from the flu. 20 vets recently died here at a 
veterans home in Hilo.  That has not ever happened from the flu. It has been 
masks and social distancing that has dropped the numbers in Asian countries.

Yes, this larger survey is interesting base-line data on the larger meditating

socioeconomic exclusivity sprouting then and the administrative separation of
meditators from membership in the group meditation over visiting saints and

Since the larger sample community survey of the early 1990's there have only
been small sample surveys of sub-groups. In a way the recent book on Fairfield
[How a New Age Movement Remade a Small Town in Iowa] by the journalist, Joseph
Weber is a survey by extensive interviewing of the Fairfield meditating
community that is current. A few years ago when there was such strife in the
sustainable living students an interview survey was hired and conducted of the
university SL students about their experience at the university. The results
were presented to the administration and then defended against by the
President. That survey and more recent surveying has been useful more recently
in guiding some policy changes around the university and MSAE student life
currently.

While the progressive side of the TM movement has been methodically tracking
metrics and hiring marketing surveying related to the teaching of meditation,
there have not been broad surveying of the meditating community of the scale of
the 1994 survey. That could proly be too frightening for some of the key
patriarchs of old administration on watch of the movement to see.

The closest thing to that kind of surveying would be a larger ongoing survey
of collected first-person cases by a sub-committee of the Fairfield Mental
Health Alliance compiling cases where people have felt their well-being was
effected by their experience with the culture of the movement. There is a range
and distribution to those collected cases which have clearly indicated areas
for policy changes that could improve elements of culture and consequences in
aspects of the movement. Elements of the movement are moving on some of this
while some ideologues try to hold a dogmatic line against it. Having
'data-points' has been extremely helpful towards seeing policy. There is a lot
in process going on and things are also fluid. -JaiGuruYou

Community-wide Survey Results
(also saved as documents in the FairfieldLife at Yahoo-groups files section.)
Dear Meditator,
In late spring (1994), the Community Forum sponsored a community-wide survey
to sample opinion on a wide range of issues that affect our lives. Based on a
compiled list of Fairfield-area meditators, we sent out approximately 2,000
surveys. We received 659 completed surveys, for a response rate of about 33%.
(The response rate may even be higher; since we used bulk mail, we do not know
the exact number of surveys delivered.) In the field of written surveys, a
response rate of 33% is considered outstanding.
Survey respondents come from a cross-section of our community: 84% have been
meditating for 16 years or longer; 68% have lived in Fairfield for seven years
or more; and 68% are registered for Super Radiance. Although not every
meditator filled out a survey, we believe the results provide significant
insights into how meditators feel about important issues and about our lives in
Fairfield.

 The Fairfield Meditating Community: Yep, in process should have 'mission' well 
described to develop and have successful policy. Editing from their memo, this 
is a good start at describing who we are:
 

 “We are a group of people who have come together and created a community for a 
transcendentally important common purpose, which of course is to practice the 
Transcendental Meditation program and the TM-Sidhi program together as a group, 
for the sake of bringing coherence to national consciousness. .. our 
Super-Radiance community includes all the Meditators as well as the families of 
all the Sidhas and Meditators.”
 

 -Buck in the Dome
 

 Well, the memo is a needed advocacy for the community here..
 
 “We are a group of people who have come together and created a community for a 
transcendentally important common purpose, which of course is to practice the 
Transcendental Meditation program and the TM-Sidhi program together as a group, 
for the sake of bringing coherence to national consciousness. .. our 
Super-Radiance community includes all the Meditators as well as the families of 
all the Sidhas and Meditators.”
 

 The Super-Radiance Community paragraphs at the bottom of the memo are 
important ones that are now actively adding meditators in to policy description 
of the broader Fairfield, Vedic City and Jefferson County meditation community. 
As a change in course this particularly is a substantial one to notice. That is 
new and a new welcome thought.
 

 While the larger attempt at transparency is a frank signature element of the 
change; however, the definition of the Fairfield meditating community away from 
just the TM-sidha/yogic flying TSR Dome-going community to include [TM] 
meditators of the community as the Super-Radiance Community is the substantial 
change.
 

 Loaded down old super-tankers don't change course quickly. This is an attempt 
at a major change of direction even in Fairfield where there are so many old 
meditators of the TM movement and most who live as meditators in the meditating 
community without much of any relationship to the organization. I wish the 
corporate TM organization all good shipping through the chop of the narrows 
they are sailing through. -Buck in the Dome
 

 Pablum? No, actually this memo is a major and conscious policy change. Most 
you don't live in Fairfield or have nothing to do with meditating Fairfield. 
Possibly you are or were once practicing meditators. This particular memo as 
sent out is actually a really important change of direction. By policy 
initiative it is an attempt to organizationally soften, facilitate, re-gather 
and include meditators again by policy in to the interests of the TM movement. 
 

 Maharishi Mahesh Yogi for whatever reason left to founder the meditators and 
the meditating movement un-attended from late in the 1970's shifting his 
attention on to programs for advanced meditators around yogic flying and the 
TM-Sidhis and monumental projects for creating Heaven on Earth. So it was and 
so it is; and, the meditating element of the movement crescendo-ed from those 
days and times of higher point. Now as part of a practical process of 
succession planning the re-inclusion of 'the meditator' is back in to a 
definition of our corporate communal policy as essential formative element. 
This is a huge strategic change in direction being brought about by some savvy 
old [retirement-aged] field teachers of TM as recognized necessity. The 
TM-teaching movement is once again being generally successful and this policy 
move is timely and strategically helpful towards unifying and supporting that 
larger regeneration of a meditating movement otherwise. It is a purposeful 
organizational realignment of priority and also significant to what is communal 
meditating and non-meditating Fairfield.

 Dear Sidhas and Meditators of Fairfield, Maharishi Vedic City, and Jefferson 
County,
 Over the last couple of years we have been making some structural changes and, 
we hope, significant improvements in how our Super-Radiance community 
functions. It is all for the purpose of giving you a better experience of 
living here and doing program in our flying halls—deeper programs, more fun, 
more friendliness, better service, more transparency, inclusiveness, due 
process, and community spirit. I’d like to lay out for you how our 
Super-Radiance community is organized these days. I’ve also included a couple 
of organizational charts below so you can see how everything fits together.

 The Invincible America Assembly consists of every Sidha who has a dome badge 
and attends group program. You don’t need to be rounding to be on the

 TM Atheism & Nihilism:

 Excerpt, ..her daily work consults all day long with people from all over 
about their spiritual states. https://sites.google.com/site/ 
jenniferhamiltonsunpoint/home 
https://sites.google.com/site/jenniferhamiltonsunpoint/home
 
 
 She works with some TM’ers and with other folks who call on her. With old 
TM’ers it can be ‘checking’ their experience related to meditating. It can be 
everything. For some while now, also a lot of 
 younger ™.org http://tm.org/ teachers and DLF teachers who have also found her 
over the years by word of mouth as someone they can talk to for perspective on 
what they are experiencing as dissonance. 
 More recently she was talking about this from her experience in talking with 
these kids of the movement about the evident integrity problem the movement is 
in.
 What she finds in her experience… 
 

 paraphrasing,  
 Voice to text.. 
 

 
 “The Gen-X and Millennials of TM assert that many people in their group cohort 
who they do know are atheist, that they are atheist to an extreme. There are 
two groups. One group in the Gen-X and Millennials of TM is atheist that are 
the most spiritual people you ever met.  And, another group that is atheist in 
a place of utter rejection of anything: that there is no truth, there is 
nothing to reality other than a biological event, life. This second group sits 
with: ..that consciousness has no other place other than in the brain and that 
when one is born one becomes conscious and then one dies and consciousness goes 
away. For that group there is no what we might call continuum of experience or 
continuum of life.  There is that group. 

 However, there is a group in what they are going through and what is happening 
to them that on the level of consciousness is absolutely sublime. Is this going 
to fit in to ™-Ville and a vision of seven states of consciousness? Probably 
not. Some of the cohort have personal and direct intimate relationship with 
their experience (evolution). The description is gorgeous. It happens when they 
meditate invited to sit in the lap of it and they are held to be in quiet in a 
capacity built to not get just strung out on their thinking, but just to be in 
that silence present. God intoxicated and in life. Gorgeous and in detail in 
Nature. It is gorgeous.
 
 Add to this we have the walking wounded of the TM children because of how they 
were or were not handled in the school and by the teaching. What they saw very 
early on was the utter hypocrisy of the whole deal while their parents, 
tru-believers, were ‘drinking the kool-aid’. These kids were going like, “What 
is going on here?” 
 

 
 This is not just news to them. It was a revelation that occurred early in 
their life. So they have this wound, this impression. Of course they run the 
gamut, of course they are not all going to be the same, but how many of them 
consider themselves to be atheist, atheism of the nihilist type. 

 Then you have those 
 that are atheist but they are atheist of the most refined spirituality. They 
are so non-dual that the idea of god as other, that kind of state they are 
Stabilizing unity consciousness is in that God absorbed ecstatic kind of union. 
Stabilizing a unity consciousness they talk about this as their expression. 
This is before Veda. It is before Maharishi, or Ammas or a David Spero last 
week or Janet Sussman this week. It is not about it being male or female, it is 
about it being both of masculine and feminine in balance. Infinite dynamism and 
infinite silence at the same time and the form of it in expression, in form 
that the mind can understand. Right now some are in this 
 ‘shiva-shakti’ merging in their experience of state shaped by the direct 
guru-hood of the experience. It is fascinating. 

 These are very spiritual kids, they are not looking for ‘church’. They are not 
looking for someone to tell them what to do. They get guidance. They are in to 
jyotish, they are about insight and perspective. But as far as this whole thing 
of trying to perpetuate a teaching, that even though the movement say and want 
to assert that it does not, it most certainly does seek to perpetuate duality 
because the guru in their minds is, “always perfect”, “beyond reproach”, “not 
questioned”, everything is deferred to whatever he said, the guru guidelines, 
it is all of that. All about structuring everything around that; and that you 
cannot trust your own experience.
 
 
 If your experience deviates from the seven states, in the sense of the tidy 
super mental linear thing they have, that he barely touched on at the least, 
that it was something you had to get through in order to have unity. 
Fascinating, depending on how one defines unity. Unity to what, not a who but a 
what. Their talk is about the difference in reality not of what who they are 
but what they are, what is. Not the who. The who

   Michael, how I am replying is totally my choice and is based to a large 
extent on the tone of your posts here, including this one. I think you are 
stuck in the past about the TMO. More importantly, I don't think you welcome 
good news about the TMO. But you are welcome to come to one of the public 
meetings I'm referring to and find out for yourself. That is, if you are 
sincerely interested in improving situations.

 So what are the Movement's remedies to prevent suicide? More meditation? More 
yagyas? More money donated to the Movement? Come on Share, don't blather about 
it unless you are gonna come clean. I know the Movement. The Movement in fact 
does not evolve. They are still stuck in the vibe that the Old Fraud himself 
gave that TM is 10% life supporting. They can't offer a damn thing to 
mitigate suicides among TM'ers that works, cause you could have to cease TM to 
do so. 

 

 Their remedies are all superstitious nonsense. So come on, prove me wrong. Are 
they now suggesting that depressed TM'ers go get professional non-TM help from 
psychiatrists? Or is it some ayurvedic mental health fakir who come from India 
to squirt some mango juice in their ears while chanting mantras to them, all at 
an exorbitant price?

   Michael, all I'm saying is that wrt suicide and the TMO, your allegation 
that the TMO is ignoring such situations is out of date. I'd also add that the 
TMO is an evolving organization comprised of evolving individuals in an 
evolving universe. It's healthy to make use of what's beneficial in the world 
and if one wants, help heal and or develop what's still evolving. I don't think 
it's healthy to keep focused on what happened a long time ago with a non 
healing intention. Which is what I think you do.

ematic circumstances.

In a sequence through this Spring [2016] then groups of effective Trustees
came into line with their own proposals. More recently in a sequence of timing
[May 2016] the University students added their voices with a petition
reinforcing what thinking was already in process.

In the end it was apparent that the then current long serving University
President was not that person who could come forward with a leadership to deal
with all that was evidently needed to be done directly to facilitate a survival
of the place.

The University is a registered corporation of its own separate from TM
movement corporations otherwise except in cases of some inter-locking trustees.
The transition of the presidency was then arranged for. That is the story in a
nutshell of how this came about. The detail it seems is way more interesting.

The University as an organization and cultural institution had come too much
to reflect a personality of leadership characterized by 35 years of separating
people from the university and too many of the metrics of the University, the
community, and the movement were showing that it was now time and essential for
a fundamental change of leadership. Circumstances of performance had shown
that the leadership had become absolutely problematic and this was not the
leadership that it seems would be necessary for the place to survive and
thrive. It was time. Fortunately the metrics of the University situation and
the manifest reality of a need for change allowed for an acquiescing to this
and this did not have to come to a shouting match within a larger Board of
Trustees meeting to accomplish.

In fact there was quite a lot of communal process which brought this about.
In the end it was all clarified and accomplished by an exec committee of
Trustees and then ratified by all the Trustees at a corporation Board of
Trustees meeting in June of 2016.-JaiGuruDev

was performance metrics at the University and a lot of process that brought

The result of a lot of process, at the end this was deliberated and handled by

 There was a guy, Mark Meredith who was really good a ferreting out financial 
records on the ™ movement.  Mark is passed away now some time ago but he had 
background in things both financial management and also the ™ movement. He was 
really helpful in his way with shedding light on this area of behavior. 
 
 Within Rick’s oversight group there could be helpful facilitation to .org

could be quite helpful working with a credible group like Charity Navigator to

 This last summer the Shambhala community at large was racked by both sexual

 Rick’s group of concerned therapist spiritual counselors corrals the 
perpetration and the teacher/leader perps of spiritually hurtful bad behavior.  
May be this group in their thoughtful concern could hold their focus and refer 
or collaborate the communal part of the work to people who mediate communal 
hurt already. It is real interesting to see the communal re-mediating work 
being actively done right now on the Shambhala community. 
  
 Way down in the SAND discussion comes consideration of the effect of poor 
behavior on “community” offering “Truth and Reconciliation” as a model.  
  
 Re-developing community seems another whole jurisdiction of work. What has 
been the experience of mediated work of peace movements, ‘truth and 
conconcilliation’ processes, ‘non-violent communication’ is extended with the 
work of ‘restorative justice’.  Remediating the perps is one level of the work, 
the community they work in is a whole nother. Cornering the perps civilly or 
criminally is its own work, but their effect on their community is another part 
of the work. 
  
 NPR posted a link recently to some research demonstrating how a lot of people 
lack empathy. Rick’s example of the disordered narcissistic spiritual teacher 
is a good example. I had conversation a while ago with one of the main owners 
of the ™ movement about the problems, who replied the same kind of response, 
“what problems?”. Yet, as was said many times in the panel discussion, this 
cannot hold for very long in contemporary culture with the fluidity and 
transparency of social media now.

 ..protective care of nature as a spiritual power.
 

 # 

 What did Guru Dev (Maharishi’s teacher) say 
 about cultivating this support in nature? 
  

 It is a theme that recurs in his talks about spirituality and spiritual life.  

 This is one discourse that considers a support in nature that comes from 
meditation and spiritual practices. 
 
 Swami Brahmananda Saraswati said: 
 
 “If you want to benefit from Bhagavàn (the Transcendent), then do spiritual 
practice and make him manifest in one location.
 
 The all-pervasive, formless divine being (bhagavatsattà ) is incapable of 
action; it is merely a witness. Only when it manifests itself in one place with 
the help of màyà can it take some action in màyà's world, characterized as 
it is by the three guṇas. This is like the fire which remains unmanifest in 
wood; even though it is all-pervading, it cannot light the wood, nor can it 
perform any act. But when wood is rubbed, the wood can burn and act as we 
desire. Similarly, when the all-pervasive divine being manifests in some site 
with the help of our spiritual practice, then there can be some worldly benefit.
 
 Spiritual practice is a staircase by which the devotee climbs to Bhagavàn 
(the Transcendent), and Bhagavàn climbs down to the devotee. Only by spiritual 
practice does the being of Bhagavàn, which abides in all animate and inanimate 
things, manifest itself in one site and thus acts in accordance with the 
devotee's desires. Only when the formless, unmanifest pure existence manifests 
itself in a form with attributes can any activity take place. Hence if you want 
to receive Bhagavàn's blessings, then carry out spiritual practice and make 
him manifest, either inside or outside. Once Bhagavàn manifests in one's 
heart, only then will all the poverty of life be eliminated.”

[FairfieldLife] RE: Waging Radical Peace, A Call to Group Meditations

2019-12-02 Thread dhamiltony...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]



 Maharishi - What creates real deep Peace:
 “The basis of peace is bliss. Unless one is happy, he cannot be in peace. 
Peace without lasting happiness is only passivity. When one sleeps in the night 
he feels absence of activity. This is called peace. But when he wakes up in the 
morning and comes into the field of thought, speech, and activity, he begins to 
feel miserable again. The peace felt by the absence of activity is not lasting.
 
 The peace gained by emptying the mind of thoughts, holding the mind in 
suspension, is due only to the lack of pressure of thought.
 
 When such a mind returns to the field of thinking and acting, it again begins 
to feel the pressures of thought and action. Then the individual begins to feel 
unpeaceful. All such practices of silencing the mind are wrong. Such practices 
continued for much time result in making the mind dull.
 
 There are many groups in the world who sit in silence and try to hear their 
inner voice or the voice of God, as they term it. All such practices make the 
mind passive and dull.
 
 Those who practice silencing the mind begin to lack in brilliance. Dullness 
can be seen on their faces. They are not energetic in the field of action. They 
look peaceful, but they are passive in life. Peace at the cost of activity is 
at the cost of life.
 
 Such an experience of peace is at the cost of efficiency in life and at the 
cost of life itself. An attempt to silence the mind in the hope of experiencing 
pure consciousness is pursuing a mirage.
 
 When one keeps the thoughts out of the mind, it becomes passive because it 
remains on the conscious thinking level without a thought. This practice makes 
the mind dull.
 
 What is necessary is not the attempt to vacate the mind, but that the 
conscious mind be led on to the subtle states of thinking to eventually 
transcend the subtlest state and arrive at the positive state of Being.
 
 Holding the mind on the conscious level is only taking it out of the field of 
activity and allowing it to be passive and inactive. This only helps to 
diminish the brilliancy of the mind and brings dullness and passivity to it.
 
 People who practice this do feel peace in life because they are practicing 
suppression or negation of thoughts. When a mind that has gained the quality of 
sluggishness and dullness through such practices does not have a thought in a 
very energetic manner and does not engage itself energetically in the field of 
experience and activity, peace is felt because of the innate dullness of the 
mind.
 
 But, whenever some serious problems in life arise, the mind feels a strain 
because it has been trained to remain dull and passive. When the individual 
must become active to accomplish some work in a very precise and energetic 
manner, the mind feels the strain.
 
 Such practices have also done great damage to the progress of the individual 
and society.
 
 Thus we find that practices that silence the mind in the first place produce 
dullness in the mind, and, in the second place, the peace that is felt is not 
lasting. As we have said, peace can be lasting only if the mind could be made 
happy forever.
 
 Only if the very nature of the mind could be transformed to bliss 
consciousness could peace be lasting. The quest for peace should be directed to 
bringing the mind to the field of the transcendent, the source of all happiness 
through the practice of Transcendental Meditation.
 
 When one is not peaceful, fear, lack of self-confidence, and all the pettiness 
in life arise and the consciousness of man becomes so abjectly miserable that 
he cannot think and cannot accomplish anything worthwhile.
 
 Fear is just lack of self-confidence, and the basis of confidence is in 
contentment which can only result from the experience of bliss.
 
 There is nothing in the world which can really bring lasting contentment to 
the mind because everything in the world, although it provides some happiness 
to the mind, is not intensive enough to satisfy the great thirst for happiness 
of the mind.
 
 The only field of contentment is the transcendental field of bliss 
consciousness. Unless one arrives at that state, one’s peace will always be 
threatened by everything in the world because of lack of contentment.
 
 The only golden gate to peace in life is the experience of transcendental 
bliss consciousness and this great glory of life is easy for everyone to 
achieve and live throughout life.”

 COUNSEL: Steven M. Druker, Fairfield, Iowa, Peter R. Sterling, Morristown, N.

 JUDGES: Before ALDISERT, ADAMS and HUNTER, Circuit Judges.
 OPINION BY: PER CURIAM
OPINION:[*197]
OPINION OF THE COURT
 This appeal requires us to decide whether the district court
erred in determining that the teaching of a course called the
Science of Creative Intelligence Transcendental Meditation
(SCI/TM) in the New Jersey public high schools, under the
circumstances presented in the record, constituted an
establishment   [*198]   of religion in violation of the first
amendment of the United States Constitution. Plaintiffs sought
injunctive and declaratory relief and, after defendants had filed
numerous depositions, answers to interrogatories, admissions, and
other affidavits, the district court granted summary judgment in
favor of plaintiffs. The court held that SCI/TM was religious
activity for purposes of the establishment clause and that the
teaching of SCI/TM in public schools is prohibited by the first
amendment. The World Plan Executive Council United States and
certain individual defendants have appealed. We affirm,
essentially for the reasons set forth by Judge H. Curtis Meanor
in Malnak v. Yogi, 440 F. Supp. 1284 (D.N.J.1977).
 The course under examination here was offered as an elective at
five high schools during the 1975-76 academic year and was taught
four or five days a week by teachers specially trained by the
World Plan Executive Council United States, an organization whose
objective is to

2019-12-02 Thread dhamiltony...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]



 “Schismogenesis”  
 Quoting Atmore: “The idea of “schismogenesis” was first identified by Gregory 
Bateson to describe the ways in which relationship between individual or groups 
deteriorate. Schismogenesis occurs in several different ways: factional 
schismogenesis , in which a group splinters into two or more distinct group; 
apostatizing schismogenesis, in which an individual separates from the group; 
symmetrical schismogenesis, in which individuals from the group compete 
directly with each other, the severity of competition increasing equally on 
each side; and complementary schismogenesis, in which a rift forms between 
unequal partners playing the roles of dominant and submissive. 
 

 Bateson treats the events involved in schismogenesis as openly recognized by 
both parties. However, in my study of Fairfield, it became apparent that 
schisms are not always overt and recognized by those involved in them. In some 
cases, schism occur without the knowledge of one or more parties, which I will 
refer to as a covert schism or overt schismogenesis. This can often lead to 
overt schismogenesis (Batesons’ openly recognized schism) once the schism has 
progressed to a certain point. However, this does not mean schismogenesis is 
not occurring until it has become overt; there are still social rifts forming 
during the covert phase. This necessitates a slight redefinition of 
schismogenesis, in which the term encompasses all situations in which rifts 
form between people, whether overt, covert, or in a processual relationship 
from covert to overt.”

In looking at “What is Vitalism” I see that Maharishi Mahesh Yogi promulgated
a form of Vitalism in the 1970’s as The Science of Creative Intelligence . The
Science of Creative Intelligence was a stripped down secularized
transcendentalism and offered a technique as self-study empiricism to
experience it. Jealous religionists dragged this Vitalism in to the Federal
Courts asserting that the teaching of this in public schools amounted to
government establishment of religion and should be stopped.

This generated a long Federal District Court case which became a discovery as
to what constitutes religion in America. Many experts were called upon in
sequence to testify. Christians arguing ™ is a religion. ™’ers refuting saying,
no this meditation and understanding around it is not a religious practice or
religion. By definition then The Science of Creative Intelligence (SCI) was
adjudicated a religion and could not be offered directly in public schools but
the practice of meditation would be okay.

The Federal Court opinion in the case is actually really interesting

two-week advanced TM Retreat he was giving in Squaw Valley, California. In a
matter of minutes, Lewis’ life took a new direction. Before long a new TM

 Persecutions by creedal religionists of mystics and their groups of separatist 
transcendentalists across Europe are often a theme in these communal 
narratives. 

 Recently retired to a safety in community of meditating Fairfield, Iowa a 
meditator’s spouse who practiced law for a career in NYC at a law firm kept 
their practice of meditation secret to avoid persecution. 

 ..

 Of the modern day persecution of transcendentalists, up in Wisconsin recently 
I ran into an older ™ initiator from there. This is someone who saw a TM intro 
lecture poster in 1969 in Madison, attended the lecture that was given by 
Walter Koch and learned ™ then in those times. 

 As a State certified teacher working in public school this person then fell 
victim to persecution for associating with ™.  Directly persecuted by school 
superintendents, building principals,other staff, parents asking that their 
kids not be taught by this person or parents going directly to the school board 
to have this person fired for fear this person might be teaching meditation to 
the children. The superintendent calling the local ™ center seeking information 
about this staff teacher. The teacher declined resignation and stayed on 
teaching. But the pressure was great to resign. 
  
 This followed for years affecting this person’s career advancement.  An irony 
now is that mindfulness meditation is taught in the public schools up there 
today.
  
 This person is retired now from teaching and still traumatized by the longer 
experience of it does not talk to friends and associates about meditating or 
being with Maharishi in those days. When the person found I was from Fairfield 
and an old initiator from those days a comparing of old stories opened up. 

 The person was a working school teacher then and made use of school breaks. We 
figured we attended the same weekend residence courses early on in Iowa City as 
new meditators, one month courses with Maharishi, a teacher training course 
with Maharishi, ATR courses with Maharishi in Europe, was with Maharishi in 
Fairfield too.

 This person used the word ‘persecution’ in recounting the experience 
throughout. It was stark. Early days of moving to Meditating Fairfield, Ia. 
gave a small taste of insight in to what persecution in Jim Crow might have 
been to someone who was otherwise majority Iowan, like me coming to Fairfield 
as a transcendental meditationist.

 Now though with a longer time of assimilation the separation is not nearly so 
great in Fairfield.  And evidently, the postmodern is catching up with Madison, 
Wisconsin too as they are teaching meditation in their schools now.   

 ..

 
 In victimization of separatist movements by the hands of creedal religionists 
persecution runs throughout the narratives of these historic satsanga groups 
across Europe and across time as they formed. 
As transcendentalist and essentially heretical to the religious belief and 
ideology of God the Father Church, these ‘separatist’ groups and their 
practitioners evidently fell victim to a State of fear within religious 
formality throughout Europe.

 "You are a human being, therefore you have the power to discriminate what is 
good and what is bad, and you can accomplish the greatest human goals. Don't 
think of yourself as weak or fallen. Whatever has happened in the past, 
understand that it was done unknowingly. But now be careful, begin doing the 
type of acts appropriate for a human being. Discern for yourself what is good 
and what is bad. Adopt the good and reject the bad.
 As a human being, if you don't know Paramàtmà, then understand that you have

 In TM we say “Jai Guru Dev” a lot; 
 but, what did Guru Dev Swami Brahmananda Saraswati (Maharishi’s teacher) have 
to say 
 about morality and behavior? Let us look at this for a bit.
 Let us look more at what Maharishi’s teacher had to say about character and 
behavior...
 



 Of morality Guru Dev evidently is saying,
 That our 
 Spiritual in morality is judging in discernment how we take care of ourselves 
and others in either enhancing spiritual wellbeing or not. 
 
 ..Swami Brahmananda Saraswati (Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s teacher) says:
 
 “Dhanàrjana has said,
 
 [Sanskrit:] akçtvà parasantàpaü, àgatvà khalamandiram | anullaïghya 
satàm vartmaü yadalpamapi tad bahu ||
 
 This means, not harming others, not associating with bad persons, not plunging 
the àtman in entanglements, and whatever small amount we earn will be plenty. 
If you make trouble for others while earning your money, that wealth will 
remain behind, but the harm that you have given to the person will carry along 
with your subtle body. Therefore, don't act such that you carry along a baggage 
of sin with you.
 
 The meaning of àgatvà khalamandiram is this Þ if you associate with base 
people, your intellect (buddhi) gets spoiled, and once your intellect is 
spoiled, a fall is certain.
 
[The phrase] buddhinà÷àt praõasyati Þ Direct association with base objects 
is much more precipitous. So going to the home of the wicked for the purpose of 
making money is forbidden.
 

 The meaning of anullaïghya satàm vartmaü is thisÞthat path which is in 
accord with the Vedas and ÷àstras given by good people should never be 
violated.
 
 If a situation arises in your daily dealings where you have to come into 
contact with a base person, then you should approach him just like you go to 
the toilet — do the job and leave. Nobody lingers in the toilet for long. If 
you discipline your intellect in this way, then there is no doubt of harm 
through association with the low. A pure mind goes near Paramàtmà, and the 
impure mind wanders through various types of emotional states.”

 "For all kinds of progress, both in this world and the next, keep the mind 
pure, and it is essential to increase the purity of the mind to remain pure. 
Therefore you must keep the company of good people while foregoing the company 
of the bad. Always study the scriptures; take care to maintain a pure diet 
(thoughts); perform Bhagavàn's bhajan and worship, as well as repetition of 
mantras; practice truth and non-injury (ahimsà), and the other precepts of

not, he nevertheless acts accordingly. So the point is that man's actions and 
thoughts accord with the company he keeps. Therefore, if someone falls in with 
a bad crowd, then his actions and thoughts will be corrupted; moreover, those 
with whom he comes into contact will also sink. Hence, one should strive to 
associate with good company." -Guru Dev, SBS

perfect. And for the attainment of these aims there has been put into our souls 
the light of God, called the conscience.’

 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:

 That was important to have happen at the time for people’s health and general 
wellbeing. The long program the way it was enforced was turning folks in to 
pale renunciates in front of us here in the community. Then it is just a matter 
of how people may use their time between meditations. Turning compost for

 The Authorities?  Yes they read FFL and make files about people’s social 
media, the Weekly Reader, Source, and such on applicants.  It is their job to 
gather info on people in ferreting out people who are in violation of the 
membership guidelines by making inquiry in to lives.  Yes, with potentially 
long interrogation. 
 One of the things that was held up this last time I was denied a badge was 
about things I may have written on FFL, “about these things you write on 
Fairfield Life”. Yes, you could proly be in some trouble with the membership 
guidelines promoting other spiritual teachers and such by what and who you 
promote with BATGAP. 
  
 The existential problem they have with this is that as they have these written 
guidelines they have to have a staff hired to investigate and enforce them in 
detail over applicants.  The guidelines have been cobbled together, wordsmithed 
over the years either to exclude people and they have been reduced somewhat to 
include peoples who were separated from the group by guideline. The remaining 
exclusionary clauses now are mostly cultural and not simply as to whether 
someone is a practitioner or not. There are three written clauses remaining 
that still are in there that can stick in the craw of the larger meditating 
community. 
  
 The Authorities, I also do send in communication to movement policy makers the 
url’s to posts made on FFL as posts are pithy, incisive, pertinent and relevant 
in the context of having to do with policy. Fairfield Life has had its 
effective place in communications.  But, the people who investigate Dome 
membership applications do not make policy themselves, they just enforce it. 
The people who make decisions you likely will never meet in the process.
  
 May the grace of the Unified Field grant providential support in Nature 
towards overcoming these long problems we all have suffered with our communal

 Within a couple of years of this 1975 report,  Jerry and others were out as 
that epoch ended in a great leap forward with ‘teams of four’ sent out usurping 
what was a then honed teaching organization.  Thence in metrics TM in the 
1980’s and 1990’s under a Morris-Patterson era of administration effectively 
disappeared from popular culture. By y-2006 initiations in the USA were running 
less than 200 per month and most assets of the teaching movement had been sold 
off. From 2006 others have struggled with what was in place to re-inflate 
something that was TM.  Jai Guru Dev.

Fairfield, IA 52556
 
March 17, 2018
 
In Honor of Our Dear Jerry Jarvis
 
Dear Governors,
 
It is with heartfelt love and fondest memories that we announce the sudden 
passing of dear Jerry Jarvis on Wednesday afternoon, at his Malibu home. 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. His commitment to Pure 
Knowledge took several

Fairfield Life used to be a vibrant and interesting forum. It was killed off in 
two stages, first by too lax moderation, in which one poster in particular who 
should have been banned was allowed to continue, and then by overzealous 
moderation, which tried to impose rules that were far too narrow and rigid. At 
that point, people lost interest.

 The supreme court dealing with this.. From the NPR page: The Supreme Court, 
however, firmly rejected the challengers' argument, ruling that the overall 
purpose of the statute was to create a nationwide system of insurance for those 
who are not insured through work. Chief Justice Roberts said that Congress 
established a system of "interlocking reforms" that could not be separated. 
Lose the subsidies, he said, and history shows that mainly the sick will sign 
up for insurance; costs will skyrocket, making insurance unaffordable; and 
insurance plans will be pushed into a "death spiral." It is simply 
"implausible" that Congress intended such a result, said Roberts.

to be, a tragedy which people coming from the outside will not be able to see

Eroding Core Values and Loss of Communal Critical Mass

One session of papers at the Communal Studies conference 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 the 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
Fairfield, Ia. meditating community seems far along on this path.

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

 Paul Beckwith:  “..People ask, in face of doom and gloom of this time do you 
have hope? How do you maintain hope and keep from getting in to despair, or

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. Things are bad and

 Irony here is that the decisions for the fate of the Domes will be made by a 
bunch of people who do not go to the Domes to meditate, don’t even live in 
Fairfield.  

 Colonialism is the policy of a nation seeking to extend or retain its 
authority over other people or territories, generally with the aim of opening 
trade opportunities. The colonising country seeks to benefit from the colonized 
country or land mass.
 

 Q:  Do they stand a chance of finding the money? -Dr. L. 
 

 A: Dear Dr. L.: is hard to know what they think, or are doing. Is a classic 
(extractive) colonial empire situation with the movement’s leadership. Mostly 
they do not live here in the Fairfield, Iowa community, are living somewhere 
else. Yes we few as practicing meditators are subject to and suffer their rule 
with very little to say in it. Some of them visit periodically as fiduciary 
(corporate) duty might call them to Fairfield. 
 

 But theirs is a vast empire. Theirs is a realm way way above most everyone’s 
pay grade here. What is evident is that they are pressed on what all they would 
like to do on all levels by budget. Hence, the late pundit program in M. Vedic 
City. 
 

 Inflow of money from the bottom in initiations is meager and conflicted. 
Donors are disappeared. Incredible number of people with retirement means have 
sold their homes here, moved on and away with their lives and resources. And, 
apparently the vast sums that were once raised 15 years ago here were converted 
and walked away to India as gold going off-books in some ways there. 
 

In earnest altruism a faithful high-minded group inside carry on. It is getting 
very thin here. Most mornings there are around 170 men in the Dome meditation. 
Around 200 in the evenings. Roughly double that, a little less than double, to 
get the aggregate numbers group-meditating in the communal Golden Domes. Hope?

have the facility up there, this incredible facility, it would be nice if they 
would to a better job (look at the metrics) with their better natured behavior 
in facilitating for the communal Dome meditation up there.  Some of the strict 
preservationist tru-believers will have to relent on their religion about their 
inclusiveness in their exclusiveness that is in their guidelines for group 
membership here for the whole thing to survive. 

 The Dome meditation attendance numbers are way off, and another financial 
metric told is that the sale of M Sthapatya design homes is off, people are 
‘not buying’ the homes or service. 

 This all is about communal critical mass. Too many with their acquired 
retirement resources have recently sold homes here and moved away 
disenfranchised and disinterested. That is a stunning loss of resource leaving 
behind a thin soup for the community at large. These numbers become critical to 
the superradiance weight of what we had here. There is a cultural problem 
inside that needs to be looked at and remediated right now. 

 Practically for the benefit of all the inflow of capital that does come 
through the meditating community everyone in Fairfield should be very 
interested in the welfare of the Dome meditation numbers.

 # 

 What did Guru Dev (Maharishi’s teacher) say 
 about cultivating this support in nature? 
  

 It is a theme that recurs in his talks about spirituality and spiritual life.  

 This is one discourse that considers a support in nature that comes from 
meditation and spiritual practices. 
 
 Swami Brahmananda Saraswati said: 
 
 “If you want to benefit from Bhagavàn (the Transcendent), then do spiritual 
practice and make him manifest in one location.
 
 The all-pervasive, formless divine being (bhagavatsattà ) is incapable of 
action; it is merely a witness. Only when it manifests itself in one place with 
the help of màyà can it take some action in màyà's world, characterized as 
it is by the three guṇas. This is like the fire which remains unmanifest in 
wood; even though it is all-pervading, it cannot light the wood, nor can it 
perform any act. But when wood is rubbed, the wood can burn and act as we 
desire. Similarly, when the all-pervasive divine being manifests in some site 
with the help of our spiritual practice, then there can be some worldly benefit.
 
 Spiritual practice is a staircase by which the devotee climbs to Bhagavàn 
(the Transcendent), and Bhagavàn climbs down to the devotee. Only by spiritual 
practice does the being of Bhagavàn, which abides in all animate and inanimate 
things, manifest itself in one site and thus acts in accordance with the 
devotee's desires. Only when the formless, unmanifest pure existence manifests 
itself in a form with attributes can any activity take place. Hence if you want 
to receive Bhagavàn's blessings, then carry out spiritual practice and make 
him manifest, either inside or outside. Once Bhagavàn manifests in one's 
heart, only then will all the poverty of life be eliminated.”

simple to open our awareness to this state of transcendence. Spontaneously, the 
conscious mind identifies itself with the self-referral unified field, the 
fountainhead of all the streams of activity in nature.  As we gain more and 
more familiarity with that self-referral performance, our thoughts and actions

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. His commitment to Pure

 "You are a human being, therefore you have the power to discriminate what is 
good and what is bad, and you can accomplish the greatest human goals. Don't 
think of yourself as weak or fallen. Whatever has happened in the past, 
understand that it was done unknowingly. But now be careful, begin doing the 
type of acts appropriate for a human being. Discern for yourself what is good 
and what is bad. Adopt the good and reject the bad.
 As a human being, if you don't know Paramàtmà, then understand that you have 
sold a diamond for the price of spinach."  -SBS
  



 
 In TM we say “Jai Guru Dev” a lot; 
 but, what did Guru Dev Swami Brahmananda Saraswati (Maharishi’s teacher) have 
to say 
 about morality and behavior? Let us look at this for a bit.
 Let us look more at what Maharishi’s teacher had to say about character and 
behavior...
 



 Of morality Guru Dev evidently is saying,
 That our 
 Spiritual in morality is judging in discernment how we take care of ourselves 
and others in either enhancing spiritual wellbeing or not. 
 
 ..Swami Brahmananda Saraswati (Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s teacher) says:
 
 “Dhanàrjana has said,
 
 [Sanskrit:] akçtvà parasantàpaü, àgatvà khalamandiram | anullaïghya 
satàm vartmaü yadalpamapi tad bahu ||
 
 This means, not harming others, not associating with bad persons, not plunging 
the àtman in entanglements, and whatever small amount we earn will be plenty. 
If you make trouble for others while earning your money, that wealth will 
remain behind, but the harm that you have given to the person will carry along 
with your subtle body. Therefore, don't act such that you carry along a baggage 
of sin with you.
 
 The meaning of àgatvà khalamandiram is this Þ if you associate with base 
people, your intellect (buddhi) gets spoiled, and once your intellect is 
spoiled, a fall is certain.
 
[The phrase] buddhinà÷àt praõasyati Þ Direct association with base objects 
is much more precipitous. So going to the home of the wicked for the purpose of 
making money is forbidden.
 

 The meaning of anullaïghya satàm vartmaü is thisÞthat path which is in 
accord with the Vedas and ÷àstras given by good people should never be 
violated.
 
 If a situation arises in your daily dealings where you have to come into 
contact with a base person, then you should approach him just like you go to 
the toilet — do the job and leave. Nobody lingers in the toilet for long. If 
you discipline your intellect in this way, then there is no doubt of harm 
through association with the low. A pure mind goes near Paramàtmà, and the 
impure mind wanders through various types of emotional states.”

 Of moral integrity, Maharishi’s teacher’s teachings about moral character.. 
 

 Teaching #50, 
 
 "For all kinds of progress, both in this world and the next, keep the mind 
pure, and it is essential to increase the purity of the mind to remain pure. 
Therefore you must keep the company of good people while foregoing the company 
of the bad. Always study the scriptures; take care to maintain a pure diet 
(thoughts); perform Bhagavàn's bhajan and worship, as well as repetition of 
mantras; practice truth and non-injury (ahimsà), and the other precepts of 
good conduct; you must always keep yourself within proper bounds."  -Guru Dev 
Swami Brahmananda Saraswati
 

 

---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,  wrote :

 "A man learns from the company he keeps. As one's company is good or evil, so 
such things will be learned. It is a notable fact that on seeing his 
companions' behavior, a man does likewise; whether he is aware of it at all or 
not, he nevertheless acts accordingly. So the point is that man's actions and 
thoughts accord with the company he keeps. Therefore, if someone falls in with 
a bad crowd, then his actions and thoughts will be corrupted; moreover, those 
with whom he comes into contact will also sink. Hence, one should strive to 
associate with good company." -Guru Dev, SBS 
 Guru Dev Swami Brahmananda Saraswati reflecting,
 You should understand that if someone is of poor character, he is not a [real] 
devotee, and is just putting on a show to cheat people. Save yourself from such 
deceitful people, and save innocent pious people from them.

Book:
Supreme Grand Master John Douglas and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi: The Christ
Mission and Earth Ascension
By Dr. Susan Andersen, under guidance from the Divine Masters with a Foreword
by Dr. Christopher W. Hartnett and Dr. Linda Saint-Denis Hartnett

Possibly more than a tax shelter church, true-believers shift to
true-believers of another. Anybody read this book?

From the book’s Preface:

“By spreading his meditation to millions, he raised the collective
consciousness of earth. Only now is it becoming clear why Maharishi had this
task to prepare world consciousness for a leap in human evolution. He came to
prepare for the rise of a different civilization on earth. His was only the
first step in this world transformation. Another Master came after him with
more knowledge and healing that would lead to an ascension of earth to another
plane of existence, for this is the way a new human civilization can arise.
That Master is Supreme Grand Master John Douglas.”

From the Foreword:

“Maharishi Mahesh Yogi has given the world powerful techniques to transform
the individual to “know thyself”, to be orderly enough to begin to create and
exist in Heaven on Earth. Prior to his passing in February of 2008 , He
declared to His followers and disciples “My work is done.” This left many in
the temporary state of bewilderment and confusion. How could tHis work be done
and so many remain unenlightened, physically impaired and not Self of
Soul-Realized? The Vedic Knowledge He disseminated was complete and holistic
for the time. He blessed the world with the big picture, the goal, and a vision
of whom, what and where we should be, but knowledge continues, and the demands
and challenges of the new world also continue, requiring new knowledge.

..Master John is here at this time to lead the “disruptive spiritual
revolution”, introduce the Angelic Reformation, discover the Truth in all
Matter, the Universal Truth beyond the humanly constructed world in which we
live.

..Our direct experience is that Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and the great saints of
our time have passed the baton to Master John. Maharishi created Heaven on
Earth, and the legions of Angels and Master Angels have come down and are now
amongst us.”

From the last page..
“..Maharishi prepared the way and told us the stories of Vedic Civilization.
Now it possible to actually manifest on earth. Supreme Grand Master John
Douglas is the reason it can be there. He comes with the Master Angels, and he
is one of them, known by his title and his cosmic role as God’s First Angel,
the Angel of Creation.”

 Of the modern day persecution of transcendentalists, up in Wisconsin recently

Walter Koch and learned ™ then in those times. 

 As a State certified teacher working in public school this person then fell 
victim to persecution for associating with ™.  Directly persecuted by school 
superintendents, building principals,other staff, parents asking that their 
kids not be taught by this person or parents going directly to the school board 
to have this person fired for fear this person might be teaching meditation to 
the children. The superintendent calling the local ™ center seeking information 
about this staff teacher. The teacher declined resignation and stayed on 
teaching. But the pressure was great to resign. 
  
 This followed for years affecting this person’s career advancement.  An irony 
now is that mindfulness meditation is taught in the public schools up there 
today.
  
 This person is retired now from teaching and still traumatized by the longer 
experience of it does not talk to friends and associates about meditating or 
being with Maharishi in those days. When the person found I was from Fairfield 
and an old initiator from those days a comparing of old stories opened up. 

 The person was a working school teacher then and made use of school breaks. We 
figured we attended the same weekend residence courses early on in Iowa City as 
new meditators, one month courses with Maharishi, a teacher training course 
with Maharishi, ATR courses with Maharishi in Europe, was with Maharishi in 
Fairfield too.

 This person used the word ‘persecution’ in recounting the experience 
throughout. It was stark. Early days of moving to Meditating Fairfield, Ia. 
gave a small taste of insight in to what persecution in Jim Crow might have 
been to someone who was otherwise majority Iowan, like me coming to Fairfield 
as a transcendental meditationist.

 Now though with a longer time of assimilation the separation is not nearly so 
great in Fairfield.  And evidently, the postmodern is catching up with Madison, 
Wisconsin too as they are teaching meditation in their schools now.

Hi,
 

 I am a lurker in this group.  I come by once in a while to see what's 
happening.
 

 Hats off to Rick and others who have had the creative foresight to allow our 
unfolding realizations to have a social outlet.
 

 That single experience of the first meditation blows everybody out of water 
for the rest of their earthly life, and it's great to have a little community 
where we can compare and share notes as we mature in our awareness of what it 
is that happened to all of us.
 

 I hope that some type of group can continue.
 

 I like the simplicity of accessing archives on demand.  Also, at a time where 
every app is jealous of personal info, the anonymity is an important feature to 
retain.
 

 I have no doubt that something even better may show up as that same universe 
that brought us to here will probably continue to surprise and amaze.
 

 Forgive me for being a casual observer of this group.
 

 I know for certain that my relationship to the topic of the room is not casual 
at all and I am sure that is true for everyone who ever showed up here.
 

 Well done everybody,  and thanks for being there for me to lurk.
 

 I want to say I love everybody here...and as one sardonic monk-key buddy at 
Livingston Manor once told me:
 

 "Don't worry, it will pass"hahahahahahaha

Willy has been posting there for years.  No Judy and Barry aren't 
there.  Yahoo Groups will be functioning as an email list but who knows 
how long that will last.  Many groups fled two or three years ago to 
other locations.

I think a lot "the elite" woke up and discovered there was too much 
"free speech" on "the Internets". ;-)

 I noticed the Yahoo! search functionality has been degrading for a while back

The problem is the movement failed to adapt with the times.  Do they 
still do seven steps like they did in the 1970s?  Back then it was not 
unusual for folks to go out to evening meetings and events. These days 
you do weekend courses  when people have time and not exhausted from work.

 In SF, Paul Brown is alive and active, still teaches out there. He was back 
visiting in Fairfield recently, in great, hale and good form. 
  
 There is another crop of TM teachers on station doing it now. At the recent 
reunion here of 1960’s-1970’s TM teachers there was hosted a panel with newer 
or younger ™ teachers, some of whom have taught many hundreds and some teaching 
thousands of meditators now since the efforts to rekindle the teaching from 
2006 and after. 
 As Hagelin (USA TM National leader since 2006) pointed out in his talk then, 
there had been no national leader for the United States since the later 1970’s. 
 There was administration but no national leader watching over it connected to 
Maharishi. The metrics fell from initiations of over 30k a month in 1975 to 
less than a hundred a month in 2006 when someone actually looked at the 
metrics. ™ evidently lost or skipped a generation. It is doing better now at a 
rate of  2000 or more a month with some better coordinate attention being given 
to supporting it. 
 

 Between 1975 and 1980 most everybody got displaced with a new order then that 
Maharishi put in place. Sort of like what happened within the 'Cultural 
Revolution' in China. The great leap forward became a giant step backwards.

 Thank you for posting the obituaries, Doug. 

 There was a time, during my teaching days, when I touted, "Perfect Health in 
the Direction of Immortality"
 

 I look back on this with a certain amount of amusement at my naivete, and 
unbridled optimism.  What I do not carry with me is anger and resentment that I 
bought into a path, that didn't quite live up to its lofty expectations.
 

 On the other hand, stepping onto a spiritual path, which encourages you to go 
beyond the superficial aspect of things, what price do you put on that?

 Ah, beware dogmatic extremists! 
 

 
 
 I can recall when I lived in Mentmore Towers in the mid 80s (British TMHQ), 
there was a word sometimes used for those few chaps who refused any form of 
medical treatment – strainers. Bless them! One friend of mine was told by a 
doctor that if he didn’t receive treatment he would die. Thank goodness he 
consented!
  
 When I was in the ISCON I remember a friend of mine dying because someone told 
him to fast even though his diet was already poor. 
  
 

  
 I practice and benefit from the TM Sidhi form of meditation. I washed the 
saucepans at night in a restaurant near the TM Academy I lived in in order to 
pay for the Sidhi course. However, I am also one who appreciates the following 
gentle call to meditation to those in days gone by. 
  
 Taken from a lovely little book entitled: "Christ in You" by an unknown spirit 
messenger published in 1919 and still in print today.

 CHRIST THE LIFE
  
 THE voice of spirit is far-reaching. It is the expression of omnipresence, and 
is both near and far. It knows nothing of space, but for the present we must 
deal with beginnings. Perhaps it would be as well to help you at your present 
stage of unfoldment. It is absolutely necessary that you should have times of 
quiet,(1) that you should come out from the business of life for a part of each 
day. If you were to wait in silence, holding the attitude of growth and steady 
development, thinking above all else of the kingdom of God — your condition 
should not be one of strain or of blank nothingness, avoid both these extremes 
— the result would be of the highest value to yourself and to all around you.
  
 Hold in your heart, the true place of understanding, a stillness which is 
alive, like the heart of the rose.  The God powers within you would assert 
themselves; crooked things would become straight, rough places plain. All 
smallness and discord quietly but surely would drop away and have no longer any 
power. To spirit, stagnation is impossible. The creative energy is constant 
activity within. All outside energy is waste and hindrance. As you quietly(2) 
wait upon God, the breath of life renews each particle of the body by its 
silent, orderly activity.
  
 1 Matt. xiv. 23. 
 And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself 
to pray. When evening came, he was there alone.
 Mark i. 35.
 And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed and 
went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed.
 Mark vi. 31, 46.
 And he said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a 
while.” 
 And after he had taken leave of them, he went up on the mountain to pray.

   "FINDING GOD IN CHRIST "
  
 An address given by a Christ messenger through the deep trance mediumship 
of Miss Winifred Moyes, at the Greater World Circle, 15 Nightingale Square, 
London, SW12, on Sunday, 1st February, 1925.
  
 "That brings me down to the whole meaning and purpose of our Father God 
dwelling amongst us; that purpose of demonstrating to those on earth that Love 
stopped at nothing in order to express Itself, and to bring reassurance to the 
little children who wandered hither and thither in ignorance, or in spiritual 
loneliness.
  
 "There is one other point which I cannot leave untouched, and that is in 
regard to the great and holy men who, by many, have been looked upon as God, or 
as an expression of God upon earth.
  
 "There is not one, from the strongest to the weakest, who has ever helped 
another to live more spiritually who has not gained the direct blessing of God. 
And these great teachers who, to an enormous extent, influenced the minds and 
lives of their fellows - these great and holy sons of God have entered into 
unspeakable conditions, have gathered unto themselves those rarest gifts of the 
Spirit and are centred in Love Divine for evermore.
  
 "As you know, theories and dogma and doctrines are swept over the borders by 
the strong wind of purity and holiness of thought, and in your minds you are 
perfectly right to give honour where honour is due. But there is one thing 
which I must emphasise tonight: Following on my statement that it is the 'life' 
that counts, then I ask you to take the life of Our Lord from childhood until 
the physical end, and to compare it point by point with those others - and you 
will find that Christ stands alone.
  
 "I am not speaking of His miracles, of the power He had over the elements or 
over the wayward hearts of the children of the earth - I am speaking of that 
simple, patient life of service, that great Heart, that perfect charity and 
forgiveness, that perfection of Love - and I say to you all, dear children, 
that you have your answer there. Yet, in so saying, I belittle not the great 
and holy lives of others - the sacrifices, the stern self-discipline - they 
are, as I said, centred in Love Divine for ever and for ever. But there was One 
who was greater than these, greater and simpler too.
  
 "Keep that simplicity definitely in your minds because it so expresses Love in 
its highest form - the Love that could strip itself of everything - everything 
that makes physical life bearable to a sensitive soul - and in poverty, in 
loneliness of mind, He trod His earthly way, shedding those imperishable 
flowers of holiness and tenderness. And when every prophet shall be forgotten 
as such, He who was stoned for expressing Truth, He shall remain enshrined - I 
do not say 'enthroned' - but 'enshrined' in the hearts of His children because 
He expresses Love - unlimited Love - and Love has to be answered by us all… 
yea, even by those who as yet know nothing of the meaning of Love. But so great 
is that Love that it shall draw them in and raise them up, for the patience of 
our Father God, has no beginning and no end..."

Looking through the whole Batgap list now I can see some lot of interviewees 
whose spiritual pollination or incubation included ™ in their biography though 
they may not be affiliated directly with ™now. This is a longer list in itself. 
™ like reading Yogananda’s book was an aspect that was pervasive in 
counter-culture to the orthodox at a time in a demographic shift of the 
‘spiritual but not religious’ transformation that has taken place in the last 
50 years. Batgap coming as it has as a phenomena in the information age seems 
emblematic of a (progressive) transformation that is going on.

One thing I have been curious about for a long time.  I lived briefly in 
Fairfield.  I think it was in early 2006 that Mother Divine relocated there.  
We went out to look at the property, and were astonished to see that a good 
number of the manufactured homes had primary southern and secondary western 
entrances.  What about sthapatya veda principles?  Were community members too 
fearful to bring up this point at meetings?  Did others, like us, take note and 
add it to the straw that eventually broke the camel's back of belonging to the

 # TSR Survey 

---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,  wrote :

 Yes, this larger survey is interesting base-line data on the larger meditating 
community in Fairfield from back when the meditating community and the Dome 
numbers were more around their peak as the long decline (attrition) was then 
ensuing. You can see the seeds and the consequent beginning of the cultivated 
socioeconomic exclusivity sprouting then and the administrative separation of 
meditators from membership in the group meditation over visiting saints and 
spiritual people that had started in the late 1980's and through the 1990's to 
present. 
 
 
 Since the larger sample community survey of the early 1990's there have only 
been small sample surveys of sub-groups. In a way the recent book on Fairfield 
[How a New Age Movement Remade a Small Town in Iowa] by the journalist, Joseph 
Weber is a survey by extensive interviewing of the Fairfield meditating 
community that is current. A few years ago when there was such strife in the 
sustainable living students an interview survey was hired and conducted of the 
university SL students about their experience at the university. The results 
were presented to the administration and then defended against by the 
President. That survey and more recent surveying has been useful more recently 
in guiding some policy changes around the university and MSAE student life 
currently. 
 
 
 While the progressive side of the TM movement has been methodically tracking 
metrics and hiring marketing surveying related to the teaching of meditation, 
there have not been broad surveying of the meditating community of the scale of 
the 1994 survey. That could proly be too frightening for some of the key 
patriarchs of old administration on watch of the movement to see. 
 
 
 The closest thing to that kind of surveying would be a larger ongoing survey 
of collected first-person cases by a sub-committee of the Fairfield Mental 
Health Alliance compiling cases where people have felt their well-being was 
effected by their experience with the culture of the movement. There is a range 
and distribution to those collected cases which have clearly indicated areas 
for policy changes that could improve elements of culture and consequences in 
aspects of the movement. Elements of the movement are moving on some of this 
while some ideologues try to hold a dogmatic line against it. Having 
'data-points' has been extremely helpful towards seeing policy. There is a lot 
in process going on and things are also fluid.  -JaiGuruYou

 The Community Forum
 Community-wide Survey Results 
 (also saved as documents in the FairfieldLife at Yahoo-groups files section.)
 Dear Meditator,
 In late spring (1994), the Community Forum sponsored a community-wide survey 
to sample opinion on a wide range of issues that affect our lives. Based on a 
compiled list of Fairfield-area meditators, we sent out approximately 2,000 
surveys. We received 659 completed surveys, for a response rate of about 33%. 
(The response rate may even be higher; since we used bulk mail, we do not know 
the exact number of surveys delivered.) In the field of written surveys, a 
response rate of 33% is considered outstanding. 
 Survey respondents come from a cross-section of our community: 84% have been 
meditating for 16 years or longer; 68% have lived in Fairfield for seven years 
or more; and 68% are registered for Super Radiance. Although not every 
meditator filled out a survey, we believe the results provide significant 
insights into how meditators feel about important issues and about our lives in 
Fairfield.
 Survey Data
 This document provides the raw data for all questions except for the essays. 
For the essays, this document lists the more common suggestions and comments.
 Looking at the data, one can identify responses of general consensus and also 
responses reflecting widely diverse opinions. Where there is a clear need and 
desire in a particular area of concern, the Community Forum will hold open 
meetings so that interested people can come together, discuss options, and 
explore possible solutions. 
 The survey data can also be evaluated from a variety of different perspectives 
(e.g., age, gender, income, Movement status, etc.). We encourage anyone with 
statistical analytical skills to help us analyze the survey results more 
thoroughly. 
 
 Thank You!
 We would like to thank everyone who participated in the survey! We would also 
like to thank those who wrote to us with comments and suggestions about the 
survey.

 aside, it does appear the Superradiance experiment is actually a 
failure. Why not just cap it off and do something that is worthwhile in some 
other way?
 

 Leadership is an important contribution, but there could be other reasons why 
people don't come. What is the level of fulfillment for people who do do the 
program, but for some other reason do not come?
 

 What are peoples' experience of the techniques in general? When experiences 
are published, they are the cream of the crop, but what about the average joe? 
Lots of peoples' experiences of meditation and the sidhi program are not 
spectacular by any means. How do you entice them?

"..Spiritual Evolution is a whole lot easier in a group. It will take a whole 
lot longer individually, to do this individually alone. It ‘takes a village’. 
When we do this together obviously you are the first beneficiary of it but you

 Yes, thanks for seeing this. . 

 It should be important in the survival of the Dome meditation right now that 
any who have access to levels of the ownership in TM where policy is made could 
be copying and pasting points of this exchange below in to communication with 
those power people at the top. Engage whoever and wherever the power is vested, 
where the levers of power are.  Send ‘em a letter, mail, e-mail, imessages, 
facebook messenger, phone them, tweet them, however. 

 The Dome meditation attendance numbers are in crisis. Month by month these 
numbers continue to dwindle. The metrics of this situation are foreboding. 
Numbers are dropping in a consistency by 10 and 20 a month for many many months 
now. This is not just an administrative problem but one of leadership. The 
recent month attendance numbers are not just lower but now hitting lows lower 
than they were prior to the beginning of the late assembly in 2006.  

 There evidently is a core cultural problem in leadership of the TM movement 
that for a cohesion in survival of this community needs to be proactively 
addressed right now. Everyone’s help is needed on pressing this now.

 As strange as it may sound, when large groups of trained practitioners sit 
down on a daily basis to do this meditation program together, a powerful "field 
effect" of coherence and peace ripples throughout the consciousness of the 
surrounding population. The bigger the group the bigger the effect. The

 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. T

With the practitioner paramount, for a survival of the Domes in Fairfield an 
old communal mission of practicing a simple natural innocent technique by a 
group larger than ones self would needs a new different leadership from the old 
‘faith and belief’ in Maharishi cult. 

 Jai Guru Dev,

inside the Domes.

 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,

budget and human resource right now. The complexion of the core group that is

Thanks for the input. Appreciate you taking time to respond. Here's the picture 
of the MUM clinic that's trickling from reliable people so far since I first 
posted the question: 
 1.) Partial treatments and medium quality PK at best 
 2.) Costs still WAY too high - basically Raj-Lite
 3.) Denial of services to most of the community, at any price. Nothing for IAA 
people, townspeople, or out-of-towners. 
 3a.) No care provisions for those in meditating community living at or below 
poverty line - old and young. 
 4.) How costs were arrived at apparently is a secret - no financial 
transparency to date
 5.) MUM clinic was planned in a vacuum - zero input from the community, or 
teachers, or faculty or students or others who might use it. I've been told the 
only people getting any discounts are full time TM teachers, but even that is 
going to be costly for them - $250 a day, and still only getting partial PK 
treatments.  
 Spoke to a couple of people who regularly go to Dr Raju's clinics in India and 
they say 'no comparison' either in depth of knowledge or treatment quality or 
cost.
 Correct me if I'm mistaken in any of these points. But it sure seems to me, 
looking at the health issues afflicting so many here in FF now that we could do 
better.
