A Top City for Meditation 26 Square Miles Surrounded by Reality Fairfield may be surrounded by reality somewhere, but what about inside the town and the university? The vast cacophony of conflicting spiritual ideas makes the place a hotbed of fantasy and discord. Spiritual ideas, along with political ones, make one of the primary reasons for discord in the world and communities. In such a situation, hypocrisy is the standard mode of thought. Eclectic means deriving ideas, style, or taste from a broad and diverse range of sources. The TM movement in its official capacity in Fairfield certainly does not want that as it only want once source for its ideas. Visit Spiritual Fairfield, Iowa..

Fairfield, Iowa -Phenomenal Forces at Work All the Time What is going on in Fairfield, Iowa? How is it going in Fairfield? Anymore in reply I usually start off by confirming, “..We’re a bunch of Transcendentalists”, to contextualize what is going on here. The Fairfield,Iowa aspect of there being a larger more eclectic spiritual practice community, larger than just the TM story, is certainly a mature feature of present day in Fairfield. People evidently do come to see that and some are moving to Fairfield for this. For those who think practically about an economic reality of 'tourism' that does come to Fairfield, Iowa this ‘branding’ as a communal exercise helps clarify our own thinking about Fairfield as a community and also helps in the sharing with others insights into Fairfield, Iowa as a place.

Taglines are mostly a waste of time, I think. They are dreamed up by PR people and don't mean anything. I have recently spent time in Grinnell, IA, which for those who don't know, is the same size as Fairfield, about 90 miles northwest. Grinnell's tagline is "The Jewel of the Prairie." Well, you could have fooled me. It doesn't even have a decent restaurant. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote : Fairfield, Iowa -A Place of Meditation with Revolution in Mind. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <authfriend@...> wrote : "Small Town with Big Values" is great, but a lot of other towns use it in their promotion (Google it). ...Anyone have tagline ideas that are inclusive of it all? from folks after Quaker Meeting..

A more current Branding tagline.. Fairfield, Iowa: Where New Age and Old Age Meet # Yes, it is. A challenge though for these out of town people who have been hired by the traditional town elders to do this rebrand is to catch the different elements that make up Fairfield, Iowa in a branding tagline that the town elders can accept. If it was the Bevanites doing it as they have said it in the past it would be, “Fairfield is for those who have faith and belief in Maharishi, and everyone else should leave”. But after 40 years they are a smaller part of the larger meditating community that is gathered here now. Quite evidently they do not entirely represent what is going on in Fairfield, Iowa spiritually. But quite evidently something else mature has set into ‘spiritual’ Fairfield that people do come to see and people are moving to. It could be to everyone's advantage if the PR people could recognize that in the taglines they come up with and the town elders would accept it. Anyone else have ideas that are inclusive of it all?
