In context it actually could probably be better for the Dome numbers if they'd just phase transition the Settle grant program out. Could be a really good gift in public relations if they should take whatever Howard Settle grant money amount is in for one final month and go back to paying all the old Settle grant people attending a gift pro-rated based on their Dome meditation attendance for that month. Would be a acknowledgment and nice thank you for the years of dedication that quite a few performed on the Assembly. And then do away with paying people to 'hop'.

That before were people having number one great experiences who were being subsidized to be in the Domes with the original Settle grant program are dropped from the grant program for other people who can perform 'hopping' and keep that performance up. The Settle granting as it is now is not necessarily all good in effect on the Dome numbers. From interviewing folks around it could be argued that paying for 'hopping' is actually counter-productive to the overall numbers. Could proly be better to just skip the grant program and go back to having people meditating the program out according to their experience. -Buck ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mjackson74@...> wrote: I'm too old to bounce very high and if after program James Beddinger or some other jack ass gave me some crap about my hopping I would go to jail for kicking his ass. -------------------------------------------- > wrote: I look forward to the group meditating. It's a fabulous place to meditate for the field effect that is there.

THe entire TM and TM Sidhi program was SUPPOSED to be practiced naturally with NO STRAIN? What happened to that? If indeed this is taking place inside and out of the Domes, the TMO is going against the fundamental basics of proper practice of the TM and TM Sidhi programes, and to paraphrase the Old Goat himself, if you aren't doing TM the way its taught, you aren't doing TM. If these monitor Nazis are introducing fear into people's awareness between programs ABOUT program itself then they are defeating the very Marsy Effect you are so fond of praising and worshiping. I have to agree with past statements made by Barry - the Movement is dead and it is continually being re-buried by practices like this. -------------------------------------------- On Sun, 11/24/13, <Buck> wrote: Overseers. Well yes, and what is the problem(?). It's about pay for performance. If you are being paid to meditate and 'hop' then all the more certainly your employers should get some disciplined work (meditation) from you. It is called performance contract. This criteria calls for overseers for meditating is for the few folks who are still funded to be regularly attending the dome meditating and doing the long TM-sidhis yogic flying prescribed for on the Howard Settle grant program. Of the total number of people in the larger group meditation only a few remain now on the money grant. They got standards to keep up if they are getting money for it. Other meditators who were dropped from the grant program when it collapsed before for lack of money may well think these others are selling their souls to have to 'hop' just for money. Other people who before were there for having great and powerful meditation in the Domes may see it has become otherwise for some, a form of performance art for money, as another corruption of money. People see it differently. I think it is wonderful that people are generally a little more disciplined sitting up in meditation now and attending to the technique and adding to the group meditation field effect. It's a lot more awake in the Domes than some times ago when people would generally come in just laying down to sleep and miss the incredible opportunity of the field effect to meditate in the Domes. The lack of discipline was profound in those days. What a drag that was. It is a lot better now. -Buck ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mjackson74@...> wrote: I received some communication from someone I know who is in the Domes and this person told me some interesting things that I had not heard before. MJ writes: I have changed some of the wording to keep this person's identity confidential, but in essence she said that the TMO or I guess more accurately the powers that be at MUM, are paying 2 full time monitors to regulate activity in the Lady's Dome - to wit, they go about taking names of people who are sleeping during program. Subsequently these folks are called in for a talking to for lying down during any part of program except rest AND people are being taken to task for "not getting high enough off the foam." Anyone else know of this and is it happening in the Men's Dome?
