There is a place of need in the Fairfield story for some of us to speak to our group’s larger spirituality as a unique cohesion in the universality of deeper transcendentalism that is cross-cultural. That we do have here a 45 year built up spiritual experience that speaks more purely not as just some god-religion but as we are as a bunch of transcendentalists better known collectively as the Fairfield meditating community. This is rooted differently than just creed as belief.
This from the Wikipedia page on New Thought: “..another is Emersonianism or New England transcendentalism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcendentalism; another is Berkeleyan idealism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subjective_idealism; another is spiritism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiritism, with its messages of "law" and "progress" and "development"; another the optimistic popular science evolutionism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionism of which I have recently spoken; and, finally, Hinduism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinduism has contributed a strain. But the most characteristic feature of the mind-cure movement is an inspiration much more direct. The leaders in this faith have had an intuitive belief in the all-saving power of healthy-minded attitudes as such, in the conquering efficacy of courage, hope, and trust, and a correlative contempt for doubt, fear, worry, and all nervously precautionary states of mind. Their belief has in a general way been corroborated by the practical experience of their disciples; and this experience forms to-day a mass imposing in amount.[7] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Thought#cite_note-7 I like that, “a mass imposing in amount”. Likewise, this was on the Zen Calendar this month, When Abba Pambo was asked to say a few words to the very important Bishop of Alexandria, who was visiting some of the Desert Fathers, the elder replied: “If he is not edified by my silence, there is no hope that he will be edified by my words.” -Zen of the Desert Fathers Undoing a long history with much suffering inflicted by Christian religionists I may pray instead of their doxology, “.. where two or more are ‘gathered’ in the transcendence of the Unified Field, there is superradiance.” ..superradiance, superradiance as quantum entanglement. Communication at a distance, 'a mass imposing in amount'.

What I felt was pretty cool was as she was sitting and told to close her eyes and then to start meditating the group could watch her brain waves as they were displayed overhead contemporaneous on a screen, but in what was really more interesting was to experience in the auditorium, with all these experienced meditators watching, go superradiant. As the room of these experienced meditator audience folks were watching with eyes open and listening along to instruction as it was given to the student to meditate, the effect from the group activation was evident in the room, but of course they don’t have a measurement display on that effect. Pretty cool to experience it. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : The ChangeMaker satsang; really well put together ChangeMaker evening on campus.

Q: David Spero is very good at a transmission of soul energy but this other, he is not directly of this other process of spiritual body, subtle body and cultivating those processes as the heart-mind and such as Janet, Matt, or Cynthia particularly entail it. A: You can see why because all that can become distracting in itself. It is funny, one sort of chooses one distraction for another. It used to be that it was meditation, meditation, meditation in the meditating community until it became more multi-formed in a coming on of ‘Vedic Sciences’. ..That is because we needed to have the elevated value of this, the beautiful. Then is the sublime value of the Divine masculine, it is this open mind, it is this capacity of consciousness itself, the experience of the silence. But it is only part of what needs to happen in this process. In David there is a type of unification in process in what unity is, there is both. In what makes unity unity is not just infinite unbounded silence but infinite unbounded silence and infinite unbounded dynamism together at the same time. Not one or the other but both wedded. That is what Cynthia Bourgeault was talking about with this ecstatic languaging in Christianity, that there is a way it gets language-ed historically. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : Q: AND THEN you have David Spero activating, transmitting soul energy this other aspect, shakti.

But Matt Kahn is cheering on those of us who are so interested in and have been dedicated to spiritual development, the Big “S” Spiritual development, upliftment. That it is not for nothing. That because as one has been engaged in it that it is not useless in this world or it is frivolous or inconsequential to what needs to happen here. That actually it holds the vibration and holds the criminal element back. He says that it is all part of one light, even the ones who are asleep. They are all still of the light. It is very uplifting. He has quite a construct of understanding, as a teacher at another level, as a native adept, like Janet Sussman. He is both very practical and advaitin-like in a way he strips down to the essentials, stripping the constructs, the excess to get to the essentials, the essential value of nonduality, which Cynthia very astutely gets to. . ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : The FF Satsang continuing, over coffee: “..They are meant to be together (head and heart) .

A: What Matt Kahn points out is that there are people on various tracks, we are all on ascension tracks, we are all in tracks, this is not a better than the other. The first track is the one is where the people are standing in light where the people are light bearers. Where people are light holders. The people who are in consciousness where they are standing there in the light and that is their main job. Being light holders.
