In the first two minutes this short video clip being sent around the Fairfield

 In his critique of common religion this is another good example of a mystic

 This e-mail of text is being forwarded around the Fairfield, Iowa meditating 
community recently,

 [Paste:]
 

 

 A Tuning Fork
  
 Contemplative prayer is like striking a tuning fork. All you can really do in 
the spiritual life is resonate to the true pitch, to receive the always-present 
message. Once you are tuned, you willreceive, and it has nothing to do with 
worthiness or the group you belong to, but only inner resonance, a capacity for 
mutuality (see Matthew 7:7-11), which implies a basic humility. We must begin 
with the knowledge that the Sender is absolutely and always present and 
broadcasting; the only change is with the receiver station, you and me.
 Prayer is connecting with God/Ultimate Reality. It is not an attempt to change 
God’s mind about us or about events. Such arrogance is what unbelievers make 
fun of—and often rightly so. Prayer is primarily about changing our own mind so 
that things like infinity, mystery, and forgiveness can resound within us. The 
small mind cannot see great things because the two are on different frequencies 
or channels. We must match our resonance to Love’s. Like knows like.
 Without contemplation, the best you can do is to know by comparison, 
calculation, and from the limited viewpoint of “you.” Prayer knows reality in a 
totally different way. Instead of presenting a guarded self to the moment, 
prayer stops defending or promoting its ideas and feelings, and waits for, 
expects, and receives guidance from Another. It offers itself naked to the now, 
so that our inner and aroused lover can meet the Lover. Such prayer takes major 
surgery of heart, mind, and inner sight. Prayer is about changing you, not 
about changing God.
 Most simply put, prayer is something that happens to you (Romans 8:26-27), 
much more than anything you privately do. It is an allowing of the Big Self 
more than an assertion of the small self. Eventually you will find yourself 
preferring to say, “Prayer happened, and I was there” more than “I prayed 
today.” All you know is that you are being led, guided, loved, used, and prayed 
through. You are no longer in the driver’s seat. Following this guidance you 
will know what is yours to do.
 God stops being an object of attention like any other object in the world, and 
becomes at some level your own “I Am.” You start knowing through, with, and in 
Somebody Else. And then your little “I Am” becomes “We Are.” Afterward you know 
instinctively that your life is not about you, but you are about Life. “I live 
now not I, but Another Life lives in me,” to paraphrase Paul’s poetic words 
(Galatians 2:20).
 This does not mean you are morally or psychologically perfect. Not at all. But 
you will now have the freedom to recognize your failings and to grow and love 
better because of them. That is the major and important difference!
  Gateway to Silence:
 Be still and still moving.

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,

“Maharishi explains that pure consciousness has a field-like character and is a 
universal field at the basis of everyone’s thought and behavior. When a 
sufficient number of individuals are experiencing pure consciousness during 
group practice of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program, the field 
of pure consciousness is enlivened in the entire population. This field effect 
positively influences the quality of consciousness in the individuals in 
society in much the same direction as that experienced by those practicing the 
Transcendental Meditation technique,” said lead author MUM Professor Dr.

Throughout these narratives below, in cycle a mystic shares their 
transcendentalist experience at living-room satsanga-like meetings, a group 
organization may form for facilitating meetings ‘separate’ from the churches, 
the separate movement gets discovered by institutional religionists and in 
reaction the persecution begins in fear for the critique being given. History 
repeat.

 Yes, evidently transcendentalism and transcendental meditationist practice 
goes way back.   It seems that about every generation or so mystics by their

 Often time meditationism as spiritual practice gets put under the label of 
Quietism.  In time Quietists evidently were disperse across Europe giving 
critique to the ‘formalism’ of the established churches and religion. Their 
essays, pamphlets and books were traded across Europe through generations of 
‘separatists’, as they are also often called. Spiritual people in Europe, 
meditationists, would flow to where there was changing safety within satsang

True, (I believe) as a metaphysical proposition, but there's no scientific 
proof for the assertion.  Interior revelation is sufficient for me, but an 
attempt by the illustrious MUM Prof's to place such phenomena within the 
category of modern science is a futile venture and dishonest.  In short, 
there's no scientific validation for the "field" in question. If there is, 
let's see the reference outside of MUM, and the specs on the instrument used to 
measure the field. IMy recommendation to the MUM  Profs: give it up, Dude, 
you're barking up the wrong tree and wasting your time.  Just call it the 
proper name: Shakti, and admit that Shakti is something that we can experience, 
but not prove to others.
