A roller rink? No not that! Why not? Whoever buys it will do what they like with it.
I like the dome in Skem, it's got a nice wooden ceiling and it was pleasant to sit snuggled under my blankets and listen to the rain while I was meditating. But the community grows old and no one wants to move up there now, there just isn't a pioneering spirit like there used to be. And they are all bitter about the new vastu project down south, they complain it took their business away! So much so that they wouldn't even help publicise the new peace palace and vastu community! Which was Marshy's greatest wish. Go figure. It doesn't sound like the principle of non-attachment took hold there, but they are getting on a bit so King Tony let them keep the place if that's what they wanted. And so they even voted to stay in bad vastu. It's like they haven't been listening to themselves, and you only get 20 in the dome most days now so it hardly seems worthwhile keeping it going anyway. So no donations from me. It's time to move on, let the past be the past and the future can take care of itself. ---In [email protected], <dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote : A roller rink? No not that! “..the dome will be turned into a roller disco or something.” Our own Dome numbers are really low down now here. I have done my best to fight for the hypothesis test and maintain the Dome numbers over the years. In fact the Domes are fabulous spiritual places to meditate by field effect. The international course office over in Holland seems is un-relenting and getting more so at excluding the old meditating community. Legacy of 40 years leadership by a few. However, there is a campaign on to re-do the leaking roofs to preserve the buildings. Could FFL create a virtual funding to help preserve the FF Domes? That would be very high-minded of this group. -JaiGuruYou! ---In [email protected], <[email protected]> wrote : ---In [email protected], <turquoiseb@...> wrote : From: salyavin808 <[email protected]> ---In [email protected], <turquoiseb@...> wrote : I watched this clip actually hoping to see someone I recognized, but nooooo. One of the benefits of having bailed from the TMO several years earlier and having worked mainly on the West coast and avoiding all those icky Fairfield winters, I guess. And this lot are all English which might have made it less likely you'd know them ;-) Ah, I see. I didn't even notice that it was the UK dome. I guess if you've seen one Golden Dome of Enlightenment, you foolishly assume you've seen them all. :-) That *does* explain the extreme prissiness of the women, though. I kept searching through the crowd for some of those formerly-hippie, formerly-happy, still-somewhat-sexy-beneath-the-sexless-clothing women I remembered from my last days around the US TMO, and wondered what had happened to them in 3 years. Guess this was another group of sexless women entirely. :-) I know, I had a good laugh at all the frocks and horn rimmed specs. No flirty fishing with us! But this was how Marshy wanted it, very churchy and tea on the lawn. A deliberate attempt to put distance between the hippies and the TMO. But there was a surprising amount of wife swapping going on behind the scenes though. I don't blame them, it's either that or the Skelmersdale night life. And trust me, you don't want that....

I know most of the people in that video and most of them are still up there in Skem but dome numbers have fallen dramatically since no one new moves in to replace those who pass over, and especially since the vedic village in Rendlesham got underway. But they all voted to stay in the dome and not build a vastu site up north because they are so attached to it, which surprised me. Seems odd that whenever you go on a course you get a lecture about the importance of vastu but in the siddhaland itself they are aggressively uninterested and King Tony said that they should stay there if that's what they want, which wouldn't have happened in Marshy's day. And when the peace palace gets finished in Rendlesham and more building land becomes available for proper vastu homes - as opposed to the ones that make you ill because the sunrise is delayed by a few minutes - Skem will fade away completely and the dome will be turned into a roller disco or something. Might make a nice coda to the video perhaps... I remember complaining when our academy was sold but the people that run the movement say that this is why it's called a movement - you have to be ready to move at any time. A good way of losing attachment I think. Some wisdom maybe?
