As adults, like children, we must grow into truth. Truth could not be poured out on us indiscriminately because we would drown in truth rather than gradually grow into, or absorb, the truth. As we grow into truth we become more responsible and as a result more and more truth is added unto us. For many ages the inner truths were closely guarded lest they got into the hands of irresponsible people and were misused. Hence, the forming of secret brotherhoods and mystery schools where only the most responsible and trustworthy were initiated into truth under great vows of secrecy. However, now is the time when great truths are being given out around the world for those who have the good karma or inner desire for these revelations. One such truth is that there is a shortcut, the Transcendental Meditation technique, whereby we may construct a clear channel from ourselves to the Almighty, and thereby quickly gain absolute truth without going through a long drawn out process of evolution over ages of births and rebirths. Other great truths are also now being given out, such as: that we are never punished for our sins, but by them; that we are responsible for our actions and that we judge ourselves when we get to the other side; that we are eternal and we have everlasting life; that ultimately all souls gain mastery and that 97% of them are not lost; that love is the motivating force of creation; that we are all one; that destruction is not the wrath of God being visited upon the people, rather it is nature restoring the balance thrown out by human ignorance. There are so many truths to be given out and absorbed by so many people throughout the world. Finding the truth which is now widely available is like finding a gold mine in your backyard. It is all there just for the seeking. In the close of the Piscean Age and the beginning of the Aquarian Age we are aware of so much evil and violence in the world, but we should be aware that there is also the opposite being offered. And having free will we can, as always, choose the way we wish to go. Truth is the solid foundation we should build our lives on and in so doing we will build a structure that will withstand the ravages of time. If we build our lives on a foundation of lies or half-truths the first storm to assail us will carry us down the path of destruction and ruin. While we should always accept and appreciate relative truth we should strive to move toward the absolute truth as much as we are able. We cannot demand truth, because truth is purity on an ascending scale. So, to be aware of higher truths we must gain equal purity. Although humanity is completely surrounded by truth, most of humanity is completely unaware of this. To realize the higher truths, they must grow into the higher truths. The purity of one thing attracts the purity of another thing. Also, the setting for an object must be compatible with the object itself. You would not display a flawless diamond in a shoddy surrounding. You would display it in a beautiful salon on a velvet covered table. The ultimate truth is total purity and that is God. So, God and truth are one and the same. Destiny on the path of truth is the same thing; it leads to oneness with truth which is our oneness with God. Coming up through evolution we have come up through a sea of deceit, lies, selfishness, vanity, ego, cruelty, separateness and all forms of sin. We have lived untruth while oblivious to the purity of life, which is truth. Now we find that in awakening to the spirit of truth, which is spirituality, we are covered with contamination of the ages encrusted on us and now we are going through the process of cleansing which we call unstressing. The solvent or cleansing agent we use is a very high vibration that acts against the contamination and breaks it up and washes it away through the mind because that is how we acquired it in the first place. It is like washing away a heavy clay coating on a diamond and then when this is accomplished, the diamond begins to sparkle in its own pure light. The human nervous system is like the diamond and Transcendental Meditation is the cleanser we use. Truth in life has many facets and all are very important parts contributing to the whole, such as true love, true beauty, true devotion, true integrity, true mercy, true kindness and consideration, and many others. All of these facets are lived in relative purity by humanity; but the path of the initiate is to bring all of these facets up to total purity, and that then is truth unfolded. When we have at last reached the pure light of enlightenment and discover that we are the light, then that is truth resplendent in its full meaning. We are then one with the truth and truth is one with us - we are one with God. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : Stepping onto the Path of Enlightenment Interview with Charlie Lutes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfllboXurXI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfllboXurXI ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : Being forwarded around meditating Fairfield.. Subject: Charlie Lutes 'Meditation' Lecture FW: Hello People, here is a pleasant surprise. Someone sent XO a printout of one of Charlies lecture. If any of you have that book Vince J. Daczynski printed, it is entitled 108 Inspiration Lectures Go to page that has lecture => Meditation (4/12/85) or go here -> http://www.maharishiphotos. com/lecture106.html http://www.maharishiphotos.com/lecture106.html So here is a sweet mystery. A 'friend of Charlie Lutes' has a print-out of that lecture with another extra page! Who? XO got a copy & photocopied at the library and sent me a copy. So I did the OCR program that scans pages and made them to txt and added them for your enjoyment. XO sent me on a mission and the mission is accomplished. She and I have differing theories why the mystery page was edited out to Vince's book version. But now I sent it to you. Enjoy Give me your feedback about the extra page. -XY Meditation (4/12/85) Meditation is the technique or practice used to raise one up from a mundane to a cosmic status. It is the means of going within oneself and reversing oneself on the wheel of birth and death and, in due time, spinning off of the wheel and becoming liberated. This is done by raising the body up to a state of purification and this is not easy, or an overnight process. This calls for a dedication and devotion that is second to none that one, in their trek through life, has ever encountered, or will ever encounter in the future. One is entitled to this privilege only because their karma decrees it; in other words, they have earned the right to come to Transcendental Meditation. Yet again, they may not have earned the right to continue through in this life. However, whatever progress they have made they will not lose. The path to spirituality is not an easy path as most expect it to be because the nervous system, which is the key, has to be purified. For most of us this is not easy or pleasant. When one starts the regular practice of meditation, one sets up a high vibration in the nervous system and this starts the unstressing in the body and in the mind. The nervous system is so sensitive that anything of an unnatural nature that impinges itself upon the nervous system impacts the nervous system and lowers the vibration in the body. The more the nervous system is stressed, the more it is impacted. Then, when one starts to meditate, one enjoys the good karma one has accumulated. However, when this runs out, be it in a day or in a couple of years, the unstressing starts. This may be just uncomfortable, or it may be extreme and nearly unbearable. But, if one has his sight on the goal, one will go through whatever is necessary in order to reach the goal. Whatever the case may be, it has to be handled individually and not by rote. It is like playing a tape, for whatever is on the tape will play out until it is finished no matter what is on the tape. Then, when one tape is finished another one starts, and so forth. It is true that if one was a thief and they started to meditate they would for some time be a better thief until this proclivity was burned out. It is no different than a child who is caked with mud and is being bathed and scrubbed. He doesn’t care for the bath or the scrubbing, but it is the end result that counts. It is the human that is a unit of energy, a transmitting station for solar fire; a radiation that stems from the heart of the sun which evolves all living things that come in contact with it. In the human, who is the highest expression of God on earth, it is the vagus or tenth cranial nerve that is the most receptive to this solar fire or energy, the spiritual fire coming down, the fire of the macrocosm. This fire energizes humans and uses them to express the qualities of love and wisdom. There also is a fire by friction in the center of the earth called the kundalini fire. The human is the focal point of these two fires or forces which play through him and activate his seven centers of light. The kundalini is a negatively charged energy which is activated by the positively charged energy, the spiritual fire, which is located in the central spiritual sun. It is said that at a propitious time kundalini hears the call of her mate and rises from her cave in the base of the human spine to meet him. The kundalini fire is aroused as a final step in one's spiritual development, and it can only travel up a clear, pure channel, activating the chakras as it goes. While this is happening, the latent powers within one are also coming into full expression in a natural way. It is the way that one through many rebirths, and now rapidly through meditation, moves from mortality to immortality. We are now entering the Age of Aquarius, an age which will feature group expression, group meditation, an age of spirituality, an age of spiritual science, and so forth. The Age of Aquarius will also be the age of preparation for what will become in the Age of Capricorn a time when an enormous amount of humanity will be ready and will come to meditation and will meditate in large groups regularly. This will be possible because most of humanity will have good karma, minus much of the bad karma and adharma that so much of humanity now has. It is the bad karma that keeps so many from entering onto the spiritual path, and if they do approach the path, in a short time they fall away. Maharishi frequently stated. “They fall away because they do not have the good karma to continue meditation.” Also, this is what is meant by, “Many are called, but few are chosen.” All that has been in manifestation in the Piscean Age is now in the process of disappears, or at least changing, for the Aquarian Age is now here. It is bringing in group relationships, group service, group sharing anti love for fellow beings. Also, now scientific ways of simplifying and improving the life of humanity will be super-stupendous. Those who are incapable of contributing to the new way of life will disappear from the Earth, and this means world-wide. Criminals and dissolute persons are now in the close of their activity. So, they either change or vanish, and most will vanish. “Heaven on earth” means just that. Armies, navies, police forces no longer will be organizations of necessity and they will disappear. Those who will lead the way will be the spiritual souls, and not the politicians and greedy persons of evil intent. Lawyers, for the most part, will also disappear. People of the New Age will automatically live in accordance with a higher law and will not need someone to find them the loop holes of escape from justice. Higher souls will bring in higher souls. The deserts will truly blossom. And, space will become our second home. There will be no hunger and drought, since the deeds and thoughts of people produce these conditions, and that karma no longer will exist. People will share and live in abundance. Things will be so easily produced and in such abundance by robots, etc., that no one will struggle for the necessities of life. The Government will be by the people, of the people and for the people, and for the most part, out of people's personal business. There will be the United States of the Americas, the United States of Europe, and the United States of Asia. There will come in the near future a new method of almost instantly imparting knowledge of any subject to a person, along with the fact that most people will be very intelligent to start with. People will have an international code number and will be reached by wrist phone anywhere o earth and in space. People will live in a park-like setting in beautiful surrounding with everything available for pleasure and for health. And, people will enjoy each others company. Women’s equal rights will be fully established since humans will understand karma and reincarnation and the alternating of sex, from life to Iife, when it is necessary to maintain a balance. As a result, women, by their own free will, will return to the home as wives and mothers since there is a special reward on the ‘other side’ for all mothers. Man and wife will live much closer together and enjoy each others company since they will nearly perfectly matched, and they will see themselves mirrored in each ther. Karmic marriages ll be over - emphasis will be on spirituality and not on sex and self- advantage or selfishness. Since it is much easier to live in a high positive atmosphere than in poverty and want in a negative atmosphere, there is no limit as to what will be developed to make life easier and happier. People will be beamed from one place to another as the human cannot envision anything that he cannot materialize. The human, once in a mindless state, lived in the Garden of Eden, and he is now, with a highly developed mind, again returning to Eden for a 2,000 year stay. Trains are now running at great speed without wheels and in the near future cars will be running the same very; very fast, very quiet and very safe. Very brilliant children will be commonplace and the attention of people will be on God instead; of on sports and on war. When people live in the love and grace of God, they live in beauty, youth, luxury, bliss and in good health. They no longer live to eat, but they eat to live. The super-mental being will realize the harmony of his individual self with the cosmic self, of his individual will and action with the cosmic will and action. ln this state one has no ego. One becomes a finely tuned instrument of God. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : Taking a grain of salt I still find this archive of spiritual talks impressive now. I should have liked to have heard him deliver some of these for context. Context often is everything. I been with Maharishi and heard him say things that then got retold by people later out in the field, even by folks who 'heard' them, completely missing the context as things were said originally. I recall being there hearing Maharishi talking about kundalini awakening in the energy system and using a metaphor by example which people later reported taking literally. I was younger then and hearing things recycle like that became a good lesson about folks and their variability in comprehension at following things in context.

After about 20 years I again saw him and asked him "what happened to the spaceship?" He said, "I never said any such thing." This may be an indication that Transcendental Meditation, as understood and practiced by Charlie, did not, after what seems to have been a very dedicated and disciplined life of spirituality, make Charlie's integrity "better," OR, it may indicate that his lifestyle did not prevent a great memory loss. Or? I post this here where Charlie is being delightfully supported by Doug, and I wouldn't want any new visitors here at wonderful FairFieldLife to get off on the wrong start and not have at least a warning that Charlie's inexplicable actions could indicate that TM might even be injurious, and careful consideration of the years of discussion here at this forum clearly shows that the "jury is still out about TM" in many a regard -- especially when money is being required for one to learn what is typically given for free around the world.

Lutes was the first person to enroll into the Transcendental Meditation program offered by His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in the Continental United States in 1959. Impressed with the meditation technique he had received, Mr. Lutes teamed up with Maharishi and became a founding pillar of the Spiritual Regeneration Movement centers which later expanded into many branches of the Transcendental Meditation organization. He took four world tours with Maharishi to open hundreds of meditation centers around the world. In 1969 he became a teacher of the Transcendental Meditation program. Mr. Lutes had gained God Consciousness enlightenment after two years of practicing the Transcendental Meditation technique. He was one of the most advanced of Maharishi’s teachers of Transcendental Meditation. Mr. Lutes was clairvoyant, a healer and a lecturer. He was also accomplished in many yogic siddhi powers. Helen Lutes In 1967, Helen studied in India with Maharishi at which time she became a teacher of the Transcendental Meditation program. Maharishi appointed Helen as the first President of his Spiritual Regeneration Movement. Helen also served as the Transcendental Meditation instructor for celebrities who preferred to keep their meditation practice confidential. Helen Lutes was born with a high level of spiritual development. She was a child prodigy with an exceptionally keen understanding of human nature. She began the practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique with her husband, Charlie, in 1959. Since then Helen volunteered her time to help Maharishi Mahesh Yogi with his Transcendental Meditation Movement. She was an excellent administrator, organizing courses and managing finances. Helen also worked on special projects for Maharishi. It was through her efforts, working with her husband, that the foundation was established for the rapid expansion of the Transcendental Meditation program throughout the world.

Charlie Lutes' was a side of the TM movement I was not brought up in and I am finding his discourses now quite spiritually relevant. It seems his is where some lot of the movement went on to anyway in subtle practice.
