Hey LB, good to have you back. What sorts of computers do they have up there? And how about the internet connection? Fiber Optic, or do they have something even better?

Once this is done, unity will be achieved between administrators and meditators and the teaching effectiveness of the meditating movement will be greatly increased, and there will be no doubt of our ability to sustain the long-going and sustained spiritual work of the Unified Field in the world. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Our meditating movement must of necessity use the democratic method of persuasion and education when working among meditators and the non-meditators and must on no account resort to commandism or coercion. Our administrators, teachers and meditator comrades must understand that spiritual remoulding involves long-term, patient and painstaking work, and they must not attempt to change people's ideology, by giving a few lectures or by holding a few meetings. Persuasion, not compulsion, is the only way to convince them. Compulsion will never result in convincing them. [The old guard's anti-saint policy and administrative guideline held over meditators and teachers?] To try to convince them by force simply won't work. This kind of method is permissible in dealing with the enemy, but absolutely impermissible in dealing with meditators and friends. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > As a community together our three major principles for the movement's spiritual work are, first, unity between administrators and meditators; second, unity between the movement and the meditators; and third, the disintegration of the enemy anti-meditation forces, the counter-revolutionary meditation-haters. > > > > > > > > > > > > > To apply these principles effectively, we must start with this basic attitude of respect for the field teacher and the meditator, and of respect and compassion for the human dignity of the meditation-haters once they have laid down their opposition.

It is from this attitude that the various policies, methods and forms ensue. If we depart from this attitude of respect for meditators, then the policies, methods and forms will certainly be wrong, and the relations between administrators and meditators and between the movement and the meditators are bound to be unsatisfactory. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > -Buck > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com <mailto:FairfieldLife%40yahoogroups.com> , "Buck" wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Ideological education of Knowledge and experience is the key link to be grasped in uniting the whole Movement once again for great spiritual struggles. Unless this is done, the Movement cannot accomplish any of its spiritual tasks.

Of course, supporting the 600 Vedic Pandits we have here now is extremely important, and if we are successful in raising new funds, bringing the 400 Maharishi Vedic Pandits who are in India waiting to come, to create a much higher level of national coherence. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I emphasized that in the future the grant, when available, would probably be for a smaller number of Yogic Flyers, especially the most active flyers, who do really long flying and make a long-term commitment to the Invincible America Assembly program.
