So, this forum is run just like the Dome and MUM and the TM Org, with banning and shunning. Am I making that up? Maybe you've never been to Fairfield, IA. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <olliesedwuz@...> wrote :
In Doug's defense, not one person has *ever* been banned from FFL for not meeting his definition of "spiritual". The reason a few were banned, is that they lacked basic social skills, and were more interested in being a pain in the ass, vs. contributing anything of substance. Had nothing to do with content, and everything to do with not playing well with others, due to immaturity, a lack of manners, and no self-discipline. Perhaps you could quit making shit up?

You're obviously selling TM and using your position as FFL moderator to enforce guidelines "as a primary retributive tool to discipline a sales force." Maybe you could set us straight by answering a few questions. What is your exact position, if any, with MUM? Are you a re-certified TM teacher in good standing with the TM Org? Did you graduate from the university, and if not, why not? Sometimes, you seem to be posting under various aliases. Why is that? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote : This kind of thing is just bad irony and publicity for what is going on here. It is plenty past time to just go and gut the Dome guidelines of the ‘non-compete’ clauses particularly around the practice of jyotish. Fairfield is full of people secretly promoting and practicing jyotish and giving readings. Every time the Weekly Reader boldly publishes astrology from David Hawthorne it is a reminder of how he and his family in moving to Fairfield to be part of something larger were ridiculously judged and screwed by the movement. This is just plain bad for the energetics of the community here. Everyone gets the irony of going to Pat Hayward for consultation too. Everyone at all levels of the ™ movement does it. It is quite time to stop using the Dome badge guidelines as weapon-ry against the community. IThis has been Self-destructive all along. The Dome badge guidelines need to be made much simpler to what it simply takes to run a group meditation and stop using the Dome badge guidelines as a primary retributive tool to discipline a sales force; let administration of a sales force of the re-cert TM teachers be the particular dealings of an HR or legal departments for the teaching side [Maharishi Foundation] of the movement. It is time to damn and dump those ‘non-compete’ clauses around the practice of jyotish. -JaiGuruYou
