Ollie, yours seems a fair critique of the situation here by comparison. The True-believers of the TM meditating community are hopeful that Dr. Nader is that person though he is not too available to be experienced or quoted unless you have the money to be on courses with him. Those who have been with him seem to ‘like’ him. It remains to be more widely seen what the ‘nature’ of his charisma in leadership will be going forward. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <olliesedwuz@...> wrote : True, the spectrum of consciousness available through TM and TMSP is complete, spanning the transcendental states of consciousness, and bringing one to Brahman. None of these other programs cover such a range, though they can be helpful in offering a new, partial perspective on the journey. The kicker with the TMO is there is no one living in Brahman heading the organization, so that these other programs are seen in opposition, and as threats, instead of seeing them as a partial picture, with the complete definition of the growth of consciousness always available through the techniques, and associated documents, and media of the TM program and TMSP. Without someone new at the top to put this into perspective, Maharishi's teachings are the only fallback, with the consequence of the TMO becoming less relevant and increasingly conservative. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote : Fairfield has a lot of active long going satsanga groups. The Oneness group has been on the ascendent in Fairfield for sometime in more recent years. AOL is active still. Waking Down, the wavicle group, The meditator churches are vibrant too. In a strict interpretation, these meetings should not be attended by TM teachers. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote : Yes, it evidently was a spiritually attuned meeting of a lot of old TM teachers in Fairfield, Iowa. The guy came to Fairfield through the Oneness group. Apparently the mantras were very well sung with good effect. Was yet another spiritually powerful meeting of Fairfield. Lot of our old TM community here was there in the audience listening/meditating with it. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <olliesedwuz@...> wrote : Good - whatever it takes. ;-) ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <olliesedwuz@...> wrote : ...sounds like the "Krishna Das" aberration. A billion Indians, and everyone wants to listen to a guy from Long Island instead. Like when they used to make the cowboy westerns and all the Native American parts were played by white actors from LA and NYC. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote : The original post seems a good reminder about the vibratory nature of mantras. There was a guy touring here to Fairfield tonight singing these mantras in a program downtown attended by quite a full crowd of TM teachers meditating along with the singing of these mantras. The TM teachers, many of them being re-cert TM teachers or old TM teachers who are being paid to be on the IA grant in the Dome did not themselves seem ‘confused’ by such spiritual practice as the current Dome badge guidelines for being in the Dome meditation would assert.
