Meditators tend to buck conformity and march to a different drummer, calling it *free thinking* and *cerebral *,pretty much a liberal mindset. Said like a true conservative, Mike.

I agree with you there, Mike. Best left to individuals. Here in Fairfield, as much as I can tell, there is huge enthusiasm among meditators for Bernie Sanders, less enthusiasm but some support for Hillary, and about zero support for any Republican. I have not encountered a single Trump supporter in the meditating community. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mdixon.6569@...> wrote : When the TMO starts telling people who to vote for, they'll isolate half the country, half the people that they seek to initiate and it won't increase initiation either.

So, how would you feel that meditators should vote in the Iowa presidential caucus or the other primaries ? The meditator's candidate? Meditators should turn out and favor which party and which candidate? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote : As we all know, anyone who can think can meditate. Is it the place for [organizational] TM'ers as representative transcendentalists to tell people what to think, or how to vote? Should the TM movement have an administrative position on TM teachers and staff who would use the TM-lectern to advocate political views? What do you feel about this? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote : This brings up an important administrative question, should TM’ers who represent the TM movement express political opinion? Publicly? Does that confuse/conflate the TM practice to politics? Like, individual meditators may have and may express opinions but what of those who represent TM? How would you administratively handle them if a TM teacher became particularly publicly politicized, advocating from the lectern that meditators support and vote for a particular mundane political party, or cause, or person? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote : Should TM'ers support the Sverigedemokraterna? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <hepa7@...> wrote : ...support the (right-wingish) Sverigedemokraterna (Sweden-democrats)? https://www.facebook.com/Sverigedemokraterna/?fref=ts https://www.facebook.com/Sverigedemokraterna/?fref=ts https://transcendental-meditation.se/ https://transcendental-meditation.se/
