Meditating Quakers meet.. Meeting Sunday July 8 10:30am at Hamilton's Farm.
Hi Friends As a loving reminder, we came to a consensus earlier that we will be: ~Observant of silence as we arrive and enter in the meeting room…and reserve our delightful fellowship communications for afterwards. ~We will begin promptly at 10:30 so you may want to think about arriving 5-10 minutes early to get settled. This is to promote and protect the collective experience of the Inner Light that is so powerfully generated in this Meeting! We lovingly support your participation and encourage your timeliness so that we all benefit from the strength of your influence in our precious collective consciousness! This is the profoundly effective Friends practice that has stood the test of time for nearly 400 years. ~If you must be late, please come, but please enter in silence. We will leave seats near the door for those entering late. ~We will eat together in the meeting room afterwards in the interest of deepening our collective strength and connection. (it’s also easier to clean up afterwards than in the living room! J ) We also continue our weekday meeting at the Fellowship of the Holy Spirit downtown from 5 to 6pm. This is a more open format so that people can attend for how every long they are comfortable with during that hour. All blessings, Jennifer and Doug This is what drew me to the Quakers....arriving in silence, sitting quietly and to be inward once the meeting began. Hoping to rejoin the Quakers as can.

Often David will give a spiritual talk. http://www.davidspero.org/ http://www.davidspero.org/ David Spero visits Fairfield, Ia. this week. Of David Spero, He was invited by some meditators to come visit Fairfield. This was an interesting satsanga that was viscerally spiritual. He is an old meditator having been a student at MIU. He got the ™-sidhis as a student/meditator on the old forest academies of that era when the sidhis were taught that way. He went on for his academic studies elsewhere and subsequently spirituality also has unfolded for him in life. He had not been back to Fairfield since those earlier MIU days and not involved with the TM movement since then. He has on his own been hosting spiritual satsang of darshan and dialogue for about 20 years with folks in small groups mostly out West. He does not teach techniques at all but does encourage people on in their spiritual practices. He evidently is very respectful of ™ and also of the community here. He became very sympathetic with the meditating community here on returning to Fairfield now yet had not idea of the scope of how it has gone since he had been here in the 1970’s. He evidently was impressed with the visit. His satsang is simply sitting in silence for periods of time with a transmitting field effect and then talking in dialogue about spiritual experience with the transmission. In the transmission there is light, ecstatic or devotional feeling, and current of shakti all as the state with it in the human system. It is a type of healing. Along with his own spiritual experience he evidently is very bright, well read/studied/travelled in philosophy, religions, mystery schools and spiritual disciplines. The dialogue was quite an advanced lecture from context of that standpoint as some intellects in the group would try to catch him out. But mostly the dialogue was about spiritual states and life. Interestingly from the Fairfield meditating community vantage he was quite able to freely draw on Maharishi’s books, quoting and explaining points in the dialogue using The Science of Being and Art of Living and then The Science of Creative Intelligence . The guy is not a ™ teacher but probably could out teach most ™ teachers from The Science of Being. His facility with The Science of Being and Art of Living was quaint to hear and does date him as to when he was a meditator and involved with ™. His poster quote says: Consciousness is Bliss, Freedom, Truth and Reality. It is Love. And only by abiding in the innocence of your Heart, do you come to know It. -Darshan and Dialogue with David Spero Notes from the meeting ..transmission of: Light -Samadhi -Ascension -Silence Ecstasy -Beauty -Bliss -Loving Kundalini-Shakti -Current -Vibration -Chakras Different people, enlightened beings, are technicians in modalities with different aspects of spirituality and the human spiritual system.
