This was a terrible state of administrative matters that let things get so bad with the numbers meditating there in the Domes and with the meditating community here. Emergency action needs to happen to make this meditation about expansion, to pull this out of nose dive. This needs some extra-ordinary leadership right now out in front.

Ask him now to use every ounce of fiduciary responsibility and trust that he has to right this right now by joining a coalition of the other real trustee- scientists who are at the top and dictate a proper policy according to the evidence base of all that is science. It is time to push the faith-based ashram-ites out of the way of meditation program practice and lead past them. Everything is at stake here right now.

The TM tru-believers assert their discipline over others that: “They made promises..” and want a punitive retributive discipline over old meditators using membership at the Dome meditation. A common response In the old meditating movement community.. “..The only promise I made was to go teach people to meditate as I learned to teach meditation from Maharishi and to not let money get in the way of anyone learning to meditate.” ---In [email protected], <[email protected]> wrote : Surveying: "In the dome they got discouraged. The cohesion was destroyed by endless bar raising to the dome.

Some people in the line at the open microphone spoke to the collapse of the Dome numbers in their experience saying things of regret that 2,000 meditating together is way more than 200 to the effect. Those particular policy problems related to the Dome numbers around the guidelines for Dome group meditation membership were not directly taken up or responded to at the Phoenix Rising meeting. In the preliminary meetings leading up to the Phoenix Rising meeting it was summarily expressed that the leadership feels for the status quo, that people ‘made promises’ and therefore should not be in the Domes for practicing other competing systems to MVS, and then it was qualified a little in the process of meeting to be more particularly around those who ‘work against’ the movement. Work in process. Also it seems there is a cultural disavowing inside that the ‘guidelines’ for being in the group meditation are neither punitive or disciplinary. This needs a lot more conversation between factions. Leadership have not acknowledged that those being either studied and practiced in any astrology systems has anything to do with how people practice meditation. That whole non-compete clause in the guidelines could stand to just be omitted. Invite those few who it effects freely back in to membership. That would be an important telegraph. There is another preliminary working meeting tomorrow coming up on how to go forward with a communal process.

You know one of the very biggest issues now? That when someone is mistreated, they will not put it in an email. The admins and leadership needs emails now, for good reason. Otherwise it won't be believed, they have to have something in hand. It is not just fear of losing badge, it takes strength to deal with things like this, to write that email. I have been told dozens of times, 'No I won't send an email, I'm just going to let it go.' Then what can I do? People have to be strong enough to lead the leaders. Contact John Hagelin directly.

In the span of a few days after the communal meeting at Phoenix Rising I spoke separately with two long long time TM movement meditators who were administratively excluded from the Dome meditation for practicing jyotish astrology. Both exclaimed they would be there meditating if the guidelines were changed to omit the ‘non-compete clauses’ about people who practice jyotish, those guidelines that have nothing to do with their practice of ™. A couple weeks ago there was a former MIU student back visiting who applying for a Dome badge the course office did an internet search about the person’s life, judged and told this person they would never be allowed in the Dome. Never? We need membership here and these people go out into the world and tell others what, about being excluded? The narrative needs to change now. It is not enough to claim that things have changed when they have not. ---In [email protected] mailto:[email protected], <[email protected] mailto:[email protected]> wrote : Maharishi once said that there will come a time when I’ll tell you to meditate on your own, but for now I want you do it in the domes.
