Short on effective force, the Dome group meditation is understaffed by several thousand meditators.. Likewise, The British army is understaffed by several thousand troops.
Needing ‘recruits, the Brits look at gen Z and millennials. "We understand the drive they have to succeed and recognise their need for a bigger sense of purpose in a job where they can do something meaningful." ..aimed at 16- to 25-year-olds "looking for a job with purpose," ..advertisements take negative stereotypes about Generation Z — and their predecessors, the notorious millennials — and rebrand them as strengths. Self-centeredness becomes "self-belief," phone obsession becomes "focus" and selfies become "confidence." ..called the campaign a "powerful call to action." https://www.npr.org/2019/01/03/681953174/british-army-seeks-snowflakes-and-me-me-me-millennials-in-new-recruiting-campaig ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : The communal meditating numbers? There are mornings here more recently with 150 or so meditating in the men’s Dome, doing 'program'.. 160 or 170 is common now in the men’s Dome in the mornings. Less than doubling these and roughly you get totals between the Men’s and Women’s Domes. Evenings are more typically 190, 200, 220 in the Men’s Dome. From the 1990’s on there are long communal narratives about membership in our group meditation numbers. Folks for so long were actively separated, Domes depopulating, membership moved away taking their resources leaving a reduced group inside. So it is. ..Communal hurt with what was the membership it seems has not yet been reconciled. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : LOOK, the peculiar communal hurts we have here with the Dome numbers run over three decades. It serves no good just to get in to editing the old guidelines. The strict preservationist element (the tru-believer) gets too defended in their narrative trying to have discussion, a consideration, even when they are confronted with the numbers in front of them. They have a cultural problem. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : A count of 1171 messages written in this “The Dome Numbers” FairfieldLife thread? Reading back in to this “Dome Numbers” thread even to before the start of the IA assembly in 2006 the long unsolved problem has been in the written guidelines for membership that have separated, disaffiliated, dissociated practitioners from the group meditation and the movement, so many who had learned the practices. On the radio today some commentator defined “progressives” as problem solvers. What would that make our TM movement conservatives and the ‘preservationists', the problem? ..obstructionist. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : Nice unity sentiments, but the statistical fact as well as experience of meditators is that both proximity and numbers together meditating effectively matter to the Meissner-like spiritual effect in wellbeing on people. The science well indicates there is a significant benefit to collective meditation in society. That is what ‘we’ were more essentially about in Fairfield here as community with the facilitating that has been the Dome meditations. It is an amazing facility that has been capitalized here. If one understands the science of the experience and its implication then the metrics of the aggregate numbers meditating together offer a tragedy here in how badly it has gone with the administration of the the communal collective of the group meditation. That is the story of the reading of this long "The Dome Numbers" thread.

Sorry, I don't mean to preach here. But if you would choose to join With us in group meditation, I would be personally grateful. I think if we lose this fight, we lose The war. Help out.
