Yes, I have your address. Evidently The MMY 500 Hours Thumb Drive has its own journey here. It came to me unsolicited mailed in an envelope apparently because of the thread where someone mentioned their interest in old Maharishi tapes on FFL.
Now I mention the Thumb Drive to people here in Fairfield and everyone wants to copy it. The Coffee shops in Fairfield are always full of people during the day working on their laptops. Old meditators and younger want the Drive when they hear of it. The Drive crossed over to interested Millennial meditators this week. The Thumb Drive goes from one hand to another. And distant lurkers write by e-mail from FFL wanting a copy. It seems to be going around the world in short order. Fast as I go buy more Thumb Drives to copy to and have on hand they go out as loaners to the next person who asks. On my farms I been burning off thatch on my grazing pastures this week. The MMY 500 Hrs Thumb Drive, the 'One Thumb Drive to Rule them All' is going kind of like an out of control wildfire. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : Okay, I will send the thumb drive. I don’t know what the story is with this thumb drive and its 500 hours of Maharishi but this is kind of magical that it could jump to the middle of the Mideast so fast. May be you can get it to those teachers up in Turkey and from there it goes on the spice road going East and West, sort of like the refugees, and it goes around the world. “..One Thumb Drive to Rule them All”. -JaiGuruYou ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <jamshad_ghan...@yahoo.com> wrote : Hi again Thanks for your very kind attention Wish you always more happiness in life Sent from my iPhone On Mar 3, 2016, at 06:01, dhamiltony...@yahoo.com mailto:dhamiltony...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife] <FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com> wrote: Yes, we can figure out how to get you a copy. My computer engineer friends comment that the file is too big to e-mail. I could send you a thumb drive. Someone sent it to me in an envelop by mail. That clearly worked. The folder is about 22GB with quite a lot of files in the folder. Impressive really. You live on Kish Island, Iran? Is it safe for you to be a transcendental meditationist in Iran? To promote and teach a transcendental meditation in Iran? Would it be safe for you to receive or have a thumb drive like this with you? Kish Island sounds like a cross-roads of people from all directions. It is interesting that you live there and want this stuff. I can see a value to having it go to you for preservation and use in that part of the world. I understand through the grape-vine in asking around here that this kind of distribution is what the people who own this material were hoping for, for future generations to have and learn from for themselves.

It has 500 hours of audio of old Maharishi lectures. Starts way back in the 1950’s with some Guru Dev audios and comes forward. Someone digitalized an incredible amount of material. Old India courses, early lectures, tours and discourses, residence courses and progression of teacher training courses, the month courses and more recent decades. An amazing amount of material as an archive of a body of work. Nice to hear the old tapes and old material. He was really on it in those days. I guess this work is to make these more broadly available to a future. It is remarkable really. I have them in itunes now to listen to at will. It is pretty nice and probably a good way to have it jump to inform future generations of transcendentalists. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com mailto:dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : I have some cassette tapes that were made off reel-to-reel tapes from the India TM teacher training courses with Maharishi. In a shoebox now in storage somewhere. These were lectures to the courses held in Rishikesh, some held outside under the trees with the sounds of crows and the forrest outdoors in the background. I recall one lecture where Maharishi was methodically going through the instructions to meditate and clarifying that TM does actually require some concentration to do, to do the practice as effortless meditation that it is. The concentration would also be like in mindfulness as where mindfulness people find they are ‘off’ on thoughts otherwise too that it takes a moment of concentration or intent to come back to the process. That TM does require some ‘concentration’ at that moment of monitoring. That TM is not just 'spacing out' or completely “take it as it comes”. Yes, he was pretty clear that TM includes a concentration to do at deepest levels too.
