Radically Spiritual: Fairfield, Iowa. 




A Top City for Meditation
26 Square Miles Surrounded by Reality
Fairfield may be surrounded by reality somewhere, but what about inside the 
town and the university? The vast cacophony of conflicting spiritual ideas 
makes the place a hotbed of fantasy and discord. 
Spiritual ideas, along with political ones, make one of the primary reasons for 
discord in the world and communities. In such a situation, hypocrisy is the 
standard mode of thought.
Eclectic means deriving ideas, style, or taste from a broad and diverse range 
of sources. The TM movement in its official capacity in Fairfield certainly 
does not want that as it only want once source for its ideas.

 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 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
 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 
Invincible America Assembly—although rounding is an extraordinary experience in 
our special dome atmosphere.
 The Invincible America Solutions Group
 The Invincible America Solutions Group, which we established in 2011, is the 
umbrella committee which brings together all the committees and groups involved 
in supporting our Super-Radiance community and the Invincible America Assembly. 
As Raja, I preside at its meetings, and Dr. Dennis Rowe, our National Director 
of Education, is its chair. Dr. Doug Birx, our treasured TM-Sidhi® Program 
Administrator, is always present.
 The Solutions Group grew out of our realization that although there were a 
number of committees active, to provide better levels of service and faster 
expansion, we needed to have one coordinating body. The organization chart 
below shows all the groups that make it up. (Click on the chart to view it

If it was the Bevanites doing it as they have said it in the past it would be, 
“Fairfield is for those who have faith and belief in Maharishi, and everyone 
else should leave”. But after 40 years they are a smaller part of the larger 
meditating community that is gathered here now.   Quite evidently they do not 
entirely represent what is going on in Fairfield, Iowa spiritually.  But quite 
evidently something else mature has set into ‘spiritual’ Fairfield that people 
do come to see and people are moving to.
 

 It could be to everyone's advantage if the PR people could recognize that in 
the taglines they come up with and the town elders would accept it.

 Clarification, I read "corn" as in corny.

PR people and don't mean anything. I have recently spent time in Grinnell, IA, 
which for those who don't know, is the same size as Fairfield, about 90 miles 
northwest. Grinnell's tagline is "The Jewel of the Prairie." Well, you could 
have fooled me. It doesn't even have a decent restaurant.

If it was the Bevanites doing it as they have said it in the past it would be, 
“Fairfield is for those who have faith and belief in Maharishi, and everyone

evidently something else mature has set into ‘spiritual’ Fairfield that people

 It could be to everyone's advantage if the PR people could recognize that in

If it was the Bevanites doing it as they have said it in the past it would be, 
“Fairfield is for those who have faith and belief in Maharishi, and everyone

entirely represent what is going on in Fairfield, Iowa spiritually.  But quite 
evidently something else mature has set into ‘spiritual’ Fairfield that people

 It could be to everyone's advantage if the PR people could recognize that in

[FairfieldLife] Re: Fairfield, Iowa the Hub of the TM Movement..

2016-02-15 Thread feste37
Interesting. Hagelin's numbers are iffy at best. Not sure Iowa as a whole is 
any more enlightened than surrounding states. Not sure either what the 
supervisor meant when he said that someone learned TM and the TM people didn't 
want him to go back to his family. Never heard that before. As for the fellow 
who thought he was being brainwashed: in fact, he was being presented with a 
certain view of life that he was free to accept or reject. Malloy is right that 
it's a great place to live, but there is also a housing shortage that make it 
harder for firms to attract employees, and also the population is on the old 
side, even for Iowa.

The.. Fairfield “transcendental meditationists”. 
 
 
 Dawn asks: What are *taters* or *rus*?
 
 
 Nick names Townies had for people in the TM movement. *Tater* was short for a 
meditater, also a shortened forum for a  tuber called a potato . Rus were short 
for gurus. 
 
 
 What would be real interesting to know is how Townies voted compared to 
*taters* or *rus*. 
 
 
 Jefferson County, which includes Fairfield, went 73% for Sanders, 27% for 
Clinton -- an amazing result, and easily Bernie's biggest victory margin in 
Iowa. Nothing else came close.

 To facilitate scholarly research I have collated some material that communal 
studies historians and social scientists might
 enjoy looking through. There is an old Yahoo-groups forum [ FairfieldLife ] 
related
 to the meditating community in Fairfield, Iowa. 
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/FairfieldLife/info 
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/FairfieldLife/info
 

 The forum is fifteen years old
 and is an amazing archive of notes on communal meditating Fairfield, Iowa.
 There is treasure of material, some from eye-witnesses who 'were there' spread
 throughout the archive. Over the years I have kept an index that I 
periodically update.
 On January 1, this year (2016) I updated some of the indexing and brought up 
to date with some
 more current threads about the meditating community in Fairfield.
 

 Collating this material to January 1st as a date makes it much easier to find 
and research with only a few clicks.
 

 To navigate on the FairfieldLife main page scroll down towards its bottom to a 
calendar matrix where you can easily click on to 2016 and the month of January. 
That takes you directly to Jan 1 of 2016. You can then scroll down and find the 
indexing that is posted there and other relevant communal studies threads 
within the January 1st posts. 
 

 It Seems easier to operate on a laptop vs smart phone screen. Some browsers 
and their settings may choke at the yahoo interface. Switching browsers may 
help. You will get the hang of it once you get going. The FairfieldLife at 
yahoo-groups main page is home at: 
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/FairfieldLife/info 
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/FairfieldLife/info
 

 Social scientists might like the more current summary posts on communal mental 
health in the Fairfield meditating community and the posts on recent 
demographic trends.  Some of these subjects are currently touchy hot for 
various reasons.   I put some of these subjects together in this post:
 423699Year-end, 2015 Post-Founder TM, an Index

A visiting Washington Post writer, Ben Terris recently came up with this,
 'transcendentalmeditationists' as a shorthand descriptor largely for who or 
what we are
 in meditating Fairfield, Iowa. Technically this descriptor is pretty good.
 
 It encompasses the larger range of what has become transcendental
 meditationists in the community in Fairfield, Iowa. 
 
 
 Non-capitalized the term is not limited by franchise of a trademark but is 
left describing Fairfield as 
 its experiment in transcendentalism, that yes we are transcendentalists
 that can go back to the philosophy of transcendentalism or its philosophers. 
 
 
 But 'meditationist' infers that we are here as transcendental meditationists 
in discipline of practice, more than just a bunch of philosophers and idealists.
 
 
 I like the shorthand 'transcendental meditationist' gives. I go out to 
conferences around the State of Iowa or out around the country where people 
will ask, “So, what is going on in Fairfield, Iowa?” Depending on what the 
person really wants to know I may just give the short answer, “Oh, we are a 
bunch of 'transcendentalists' living there. That suffices on one level in quick 
conversation and says not much either. But, that we are a community of 
'transcendental meditationists' says it more particularly. I like that.

 throughout the archive. Over the years I have kept an index that I 
periodically update.
 On January 1, this year (2016) I updated some of the indexing and brought up 
to date with some
 more current threads about the meditating community in Fairfield.
 

 Collating this material to January 1st as a date makes it much easier to find 
and research with only a few clicks.
 

 To navigate on the FairfieldLife main page scroll down towards its bottom to a 
calendar matrix where you can easily click on to 2016 and the month of January. 
That takes you directly to Jan 1 of 2016. You can then scroll down and find the 
indexing that is posted there and other relevant communal studies threads 
within the January 1st posts. 
 

 It Seems easier to operate on a laptop vs smart phone screen. Some browsers

MJ, Living in the meditating communities of Fairfield, Iowa yep there are group 
meditations going on.  
 There are satsangs that go on throughout the week that include 
sitting in group meditations. These have developed over the years as the 
administration of access to the Dome group meditation became more exclusive.  
But in the cycle of every week there is a sequence of meditations that you can 
sit with while in Fairfield. Every Thursday the Weekly Reader gets published 
and by examining that folks can find these satsangs or groups that sit in 
meditation.  See point 2 below. -JaiGuruYou

 Yes there are group meditations in town that are not sponsored by the 
movement. Look in the Fairfield Weekly Reader to find these or ask around when 
you get here. There are a number of group meditations in the larger meditating 
community in Fairfield, Iowa 'separate' from the ones facilitated by the TM 
movement. There is now a facility downtown for group practice of TM meditation 
and TM-Siddhis but you need to be certified by the current TM movement with a 
current badge to meditate with a TM.org facilitated group. There are other 
group meditations with meditators to choose from otherwise in Fairfield too.  
Fairfield is quite a mature meditating community with spiritual practice.

Lawson, I was speaking with a mental health professional in FF on a Wednesday. 
She had already dealt with 3 crises. I asked her what caused them. She said in 
all three cases, the people went off their medication. I've gotten the 
impression that this is quite common, whether the person is a meditator or not. 
It sounds like the medications can have uncomfortable side effects.  I think 
many meditators would prefer to avoid such medications if possible.

Actually you can. If TM takes you out of the ego, the sense of personal self, 
and if it works every time (i.e., you transcend at least once during a 
sitting), then in 40 years of meditation with some residence courses thrown in, 
you commit suicide some 30,000 times. If TM goes the distance (which some 
doubt), then eventually the suicide will be permanent. It won't be permanent in 
CC because ego is still in the centre of the active part of life in that 
experience. You need BC to catapult the ego to the periphery of life where it 
basically is on a short leash and can't run the show. 

 Physical suicide results if TM dredges up something the ego can't deal with, 
and is more likely to occur in a 'see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil' 
oppressive environment where help is unavailable by design.

Who says that the ego is destroyed or weakened or you are taken out of it or 
whatever with TM? 

 

 Part of the issue is that we try to conflate Freud's terminology with 
Maharishi's and part of the issue is that we tend to assume that all meditation 
practices have the same effect, so the fact that mindfulness practices tend to 
weaken the functionality of the parts of the brain having to do with 
sense-of-self, combined with the interpretation of some very popular Buddhist 
sects that sense-of-self is evil, leads to all sorts of confusion.
 

 

 TM practice strengthens sense of self. Samadhi, or pure consciousness, 
during TM, also happens to be the point where the relaxed mind-wandering 
activity of the brain associated in Western science with sense of self 
happens to be greatest.
 

 

 When Fred Travis interviewed the people reporting CC for at least a year 
continuously, his interview question was:
 

 Describe your self.
 

 The people in CC responded along these lines, none of which suggest 
destruction of ego, in the sense that Freud would have understood, I believe:
 

 L1: We ordinarily think my self as this age; this color of hair; these hobbies 
. . . my experience is that my Self is a lot larger than that. It's 
immeasurably vast. . . on a physical level. It is not just restricted to this 
physical environment
 L2: It's the ‘‘I am-ness.’’ It's my Being. There's just a channel underneath 
that's just underlying everything. It's my essence there and it just doesn't 
stop where I stop. . . by ‘‘I,’’ I mean this 5 ft. 2 person that moves around 
here and there
 L3: I look out and see this beautiful divine Intelligence. . . you could say 
in the sky, in the tree, but really being expressed through these things. . . 
and these are my Self
 L4: I experience myself as being without edges or content. . . beyond the 
universe. . . all-pervading, and being absolutely thrilled, absolutely 
delighted with every motion that my body makes. With everything that my eyes 
see, my ears hear, my nose smells. There's a delight in the sense that I am 
able to penetrate that. My consciousness, my intelligence pervades everything I 
see, feel and think
 L5: When I say ’’I’’ that's the Self. There's a quality that is so pervasive 
about the Self that I'm quite sure that the ‘‘I’’ is the same ‘‘I’’ as everyone 
else's ‘‘I.’’ Not in terms of what follows right after. I am tall, I am short, 
I am fat, I am this, I am that. But the ‘‘I’’ part. The ‘‘I am’’ part is the 
same ‘‘I am’’ for you and me

Spiritual and Material Values
 

 Every experience has its level of physiology, and so unbounded awareness has 
its own level of physiology which can be measured. Every aspect of life is 
integrated and connected with every other phase. When we talk of scientific 
measurements, it does not take away from the spiritual experience. We are not 
responsible for those times when spiritual experience was thought of as 
metaphysical. Everything is physical. Consciousness is the product of the 
functioning of the brain. Talking of scientific measurements is no damage to 
that wholeness of life which is present everywhere and which begins to be lived 
when the physiology is taking on a particular form. This is our understanding 
about spirituality: it is not on the level of faith --it is on the level of 
blood and bone and flesh and activity. It is measurable.

 From the abstract:
 

 ...classically regarded by philosophers, clinicians, and scientists as a core 
element of an intact sense of self.
 

 Further in
 

 MW serves “self” functions
 As detailed in the context of strategy B1, there are theoretical (Gallagher, 
2000 http://journal.frontiersin.org/Journal/10.3389/fnhum.2011.00056/full#B20), 
neuroanatomical (Gusnard, 2005 
http://journal.frontiersin.org/Journal/10.3389/fnhum.2011.00056/full#B28; 
Northoff et al., 2006 
http://journal.frontiersin.org/Journal/10.3389/fnhum.2011.00056/full#B45), and 
intuitive grounds to claim that MW is a self-related cognitive function, which 
serves to create and maintain an integrated, meaningful sense of self out of 
various aspects of self-related information and cognition. Northoff et al. 
(2006) 
http://journal.frontiersin.org/Journal/10.3389/fnhum.2011.00056/full#B45, for 
instance, conceptualizes MW as a “psychological baseline,” a form of continuous 
self-referential processing which is evident during non-task conditions and 
which ultimately forms our subjective experience of a “continuous stream of 
subjective experience” or “phenomenal time” where past, present, and future are 
no longer divided but integrated.
 

 

 

 Maharishi has always (in my memory) described TM as mind-wandering, allowing 
the mind to wander in the direction of greatest happiness, which he described 
as pure consciousness, pure self-referral consciousness, so his descriptions of 
the process of TM allowing the mind to settle down into its state of least 
excitation, while saying that that is pure self-referral consciousness, is 
supported by Western scientific concepts of self.
 

 Several studies published over the years have examined the physiological 
functioning of someone reporting pure consciousness during TM.
 

 The very concept of using science to study meditation and spirituality was 
proposed by Maharishi back as early as 1957. By 1959, _Hermit in My House_ 
described his students building a dark-room shack in the backyard of the 
Olson's house so they could photograph TMers in an attempt to catch subtle 
glow from meditator's faces. That never worked out, but the scientific 
research program on studying the physiology of meditation has been ongoing ever 
since, especially with the publication of R Keith Wallace's PhD research in 
Science in 1970.
 

 I quoted Maharishi's take on researching meditation at the start of this 
message.

near enough to affect world consciousness (according to their fairy tale

 Like Barry has said and I agree the TMO doesn't want the numbers to be 
 anywhere near enough to affect world consciousness (according to their fairy

 - a fairy tale, and they would have a harder time convincing the gullible 
 TB'ers to keep on a-givin'!!! (money that is)

 The numbers of folk in the domes in iowa are way below what is needed to 
 affect national consciousness, according to theory.
 
 It may be that the number of sidhas in Mexico is enough to affect the world's 
 consciousness, but that number is being kept off the books, currently.
 
 Until the TMO can point to numbers that fit their theory, they will likely be 
 silent on the ME.
