Could the Pope himself even qualify to meditate with the group? srijau writes: This Pope does TM.
Son, the Pope would not qualify for a Dome badge [or a meditator badge], the way the guidelines are. Doesn't matter if he learned TM and is a meditator. In process I have had the Dome badge guidelines read to me numerous times in applying for a Dome badge and I have very recently been able to read them directly again by oversight sub-committee work I have been on up on campus. He works for and promotes an organization that teaches spiritual practices. Flat out. The guy runs the org that teaches meditative techniques. The guidelines are quite clear about this now. The TM course office would be bound to deny the Pope a valid Dome badge or meditator badge by our guidelines. The guidelines are un-changed and actually fortified around this. The Pope wouldn't even be able to get a meditator's badge to meditate with in the TM meditation room downtown in Fairfield. The Rajas and the Prime Minister of the Global Country are unmoved about this guideline. Based on his choices his innocent practice of effortless meditation would evidently have been corrupted by his dalliance with this and that mindful praying and other meditation. Yes, including him in the group transcendence meditation could be counter-productive the the larger group effect of group practice of authentic transcending meditation. I rest the case. He made his choices. He would not qualify. That is how it works around here. Visit the Pope at the peril of your valid Dome badge. -JaiGuruYou! Yep, the guidelines are the best we have for this regardless of the attendance numbers and attrition in our group or any other reasoning why people are not meditating in the group anymore. The science says that we as TM meditators clearly have increased moral reasoning and this is ultimately about morality and choices of what people have done. Some people just do not qualify to be in the group. Trust our Rajas to administrate this correctly, -JaiGuruYou Off the Program? Well, technically if the Pope is teaching spiritual practices like meditation then seeing him or attending meetings with him, certainly facilitating for him would be "OTP" and could disqualify your valid Dome badge. mdixon. wrote : I think you're right. My original question was merely tongue in cheek. However, on my six month age of enlightenment course, M seemed to get a bit irritated with one fellow that referred to his catholic faith more than once. Seems after one such reference is when I remember M saying *THIS*(TM, age of enlightenment program) should be your religion.

I doubt very much if going to see the pope would result in not being able to get a dome badge in Fairfield. The very idea seems ridiculous. After, all, we do have a Liberal Catholic Church in FF that is made up mostly of TMers, some of whom go to the dome. I think the movement has always honored the practice of one's own religion. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <awoelflebater@...> wrote : ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote : Mam, the guidelines are what they are.

Was he part of that Catholic cohort who ripped TM off and is selling and teaching it bootleg as “Centering Prayer”? Like others in his position he'd have some 'splainin' to do. Recently they been having people swear an oath that they would stop seeing saints and teachers like him. The Pope simply is not in a good position to get a valid badge to meditate with the group. -JaiGuruYou Hilarious, thanks for this. All I can say is the Movement in FF should be very, very thankful I don't live there. Do I want to go to the Dome? No. Would I like to raise shit? Yes. Why? Because I love seeing tightwads squirm a little. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <awoelflebater@...> wrote : ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote : Son, the Pope would not qualify for a Dome badge.

I guarantee that seeing the Pope would not disqualify anyone for a Dome badge - the repercussions socially and politically would be too cumbersome to bear by the Movement. Imagine the headlines: "Meditators Ostracized For Catching Glimpse of Popemobile". Or, "TM Movement Bans Meditator For Selfie With Pope". srijau writes: This Pope does TM. ..

Unless the course office folks have it in your file already and they start to ask you about it then people have learnt to just not bring things like this up when applying for the Dome badge, something taught in the culture of TM as lying by omission. There is a lot of fear around this in the TM community. In this case just don't bring up that his church teaches 'centering prayer' as method of spiritual practice/meditation. That meditation could conflict with the innocent practice of TM and TM-sidhis. It could therefore be better if Catholics, and certainly any who have gone to see the Pope would not be admitted and could be removed from meditating with the group. Their delicate 'effortless practice' of transcending meditation has probably been corrupted. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <awoelflebater@...> wrote : ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mdixon.6569@...> wrote : Would it be off the program to receive the darshan of the Pope?

Yes, a grace. A type of blessing not uncommon when it is looked for in cultivated people. Helpful where used for others as transformation that can come as a spiritual fruit of spiritual cultivation, the capacity to help others. We have seen it in Fairfield. It can be just field effect of spiritual capacity or be wielded intended as a prakriti vector in a flow of shakti, a good vibration and is not necessarily uncommon. It appears when experienced by others as saintly or miraculous but the Pope is not the only one around with that grace. -JaiGuruYou! ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <emily.mae50@...> wrote : It's a miracle (smile). ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <olliesedwuz@...> wrote : This caught my attention: Pope held sick baby, what happened next is amazing http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/inspiration-nation/2015/09/23/inspiration-nation-pope-holds-baby/72671356/ http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/inspiration-nation/2015/09/23/inspiration-nation-pope-holds-baby/72671356/ Pope held sick baby, what happened next is amazing http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/inspiration-nation/2015/09/23/inspiration-nation-pope-holds-baby/72671356/ "The Pope healed our baby's heart."
