Turqb, my people are old Quaker and I too am Quaker and by experience I take that very seriously and even deadly seriously, which is why I am in Fairfield, Iowa as an attender of the large group meditations in the Golden Domes of the Fairfield meditating community. George Fox and early Quakers long ago cognized the spiritual value of the group affect of transcending meditations. Since the 1650's that has been the corporate practice of Quakers. Seriously, -Buck in the Dome What would George Fox Say? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhsvqbCIaAs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhsvqbCIaAs
The Fairfield, Iowa group meditation then became the largest group to Be with as the group of transcending meditators like Quakers gathered in Iowa from the late 1970's. Quite a number of old-style Quakers like me joined on with the large group meditation in Fairfield, Iowa from the beginning then as recognized Quaker support in direct-action in the value of our form of Friends spiritual practice that the TM'ers had adapted to their own ends. What the Quakers have known all along Maharishi then had recognized as the Meissner Effect of consciousness in the corporate silent practice of inner transcending meditation like the Quaker meeting has long provided. A nice thing about the Quaker group practice as the Friends Meeting itself is that it is stripped of religious forms, of alters, brahmasthans, steeples, no stages, no ostentatious hats or robes such like some clergy and TM-Rajas and other climbers would wear above others. The nice thing about Quaker Meeting as a place is that it is without the veneers of formal religion otherwise. Self run and no paid clergy. You just 'go in' sitting with others and the field effect of absolute, bliss, consciousness that the meeting of Friends creates for yourself and others. Jai George Fox, -Buck in the Dome
