A FF Coffee House response to a TM culture ‘unchecked’ in enabling of bad behavior..: “..Unaddressed, the ‘make nice’ does not take it out of memory.”

Culture is prominent in these cases of #MeToo where for various social reasons which are practical to women in these situations they may feel to endure it or withdraw or leave either physically or emotionally the group. I know someone part of the university/movement community who recently was propositioned by a wealthy (powerful) trustee of the university and who is now feeling a way through the consequences of naming the name. An interesting thing to see now in the arc of the MeToo since last November in our larger culture there presently is a focusing on enabling around harassment or abuse. A local story of the FFACC is a good example of a Board’s response that effectively enables really bad behavior. Yes, and denying is part of the suppressing rebuttal by perpetrators and their enablers.

Communally we have been hearing whisperings of these narratives for years. Was puzzling all along that more of the women involved did not go more directly public with sharing their experience. But the evolution of the #MeToo movement since last year tells the convoluted role of social and legal silencing of victims and the power of perps and their enablers. Stormy Daniels, for instance, in her peculiar case of breaking out of legal silencing is an exception. NPR yesterday looks at some of it. NPR: “Ruzicka says she has many workers eager to share their experiences, but because they filed complaints — either through their HR departments or with a state or federal agency — they were told not to discuss their stories while their cases are pending. "And so what we find is that women, even though they are brave enough to stand up and have somehow made it through the process this far, is they're once again feeling trapped and feeling silenced," she says. https://www.npr.org/2018/06/04/615783454/-metoo-complaints-swamp-human-resource-departments https://www.npr.org/2018/06/04/615783454/-metoo-complaints-swamp-human-resource-departments Srijau anonymously defends:: there is no metoo hypocrisy. you don't provide the tiniest proof people say all kinds of false things. does not make it true at all. ...there is no end to the false things that have been said and are still said about TM and TMers. ..I brutally honest look at decades in the movement, with some regrets , resentments and criticisms.

Fairfield, Coffee Haus Satsanga today, text, paraphrasing conversation.. " #MeToo? A: If they think for a minute that this isn’t known? This is known in our community, this is known in our young people, that right now that the MUM and the Maharishi base in whatever .’s exact job with this was, they are harboring a predator and in doing so, no matter how they rationalize it, that fact is going to cripple anything they do here. Because it gets out. ..Like this young person here visiting looking. The person’s mother is concerned that if the person came here would get involved with a cult. The mom is rightly concerned because, while it is not like it was, because it was around the cult of personality. But going through the history of it puts perspective in it. The overly attached, even love of devotion. However folks just being vigilant about your keeping your own discernment awake, about your experience of awakening in it has come. This young visitor is a bonafide spiritual seeker is a good example, that is why they are interested. It is not to get a degree necessarily but they want a place of consciousness. This young person wants to talk about consciousness, is interested in consciousness, is a very developed person, very developed experiences, this is not a beginner though a young person. So, putting someone like this in to this? A: The person is going to hear it and learn about the history of it; going to see it. If they (the .org & .edu) are not vigilant this person is going to be gone and this is precisely the kind of person they want. This is the student they want. Someone interested in spirituality, the implications of consciousness, this is exactly the person they want. ..When these start scratching the surface and learning about it and having exposure to the kind of stupid shit that goes on? A: The person is not a child. Though in the young 20’s the person is awake enough to be looking at this with more than just what is being presented. But on the other hand see the value of it and is here now actively looking and considering.

Did you see that thread a couple of months ago on Facebook about sexual harassments in Fairfield that were in the meditating community? Right away in hot reply then there were a couple hundred 'likes' and quite a lot of #MeToo’s as comments too. Yikes. The Dome meditation attendance numbers are very much about spiritual morality and how some people have been hurtful of others spiritually, about breach of trust. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : There is quite a lot of experience and science on Peace now within spirituality practices of meditation.

No, actually I was told more recently by someone who has been around the top administration up there for decades, someone you (safely anonymously) probably work with up there or have been with: “It was way worse than you know. Millions ($) have been spent on legal fees.” Sounds something like the Weinstein Company. I am not going to name names on a public forum for the same reason you and they do not at least going to acknowledge what went on or could start to apologize: liability. Peace and reconciliation? Restorative Justice? No, the the movement can’t be in a position of apologizing let alone be acknowledging:: liability lawsuit However, you and others in going forward could at least state who you are morally, that possibly you are not their hypocrisy. Or, are you and your friends enabling the past? Other than denying it, how do you reconcile it? Explain how you feel about it. I would like to consider it.
