I can't believe that so many people have not observed this in their personal experience. Haven't you ever just meditated somewhere, where it has been busy, and or noisy, and noticed that as you meditate and allow yourself to get deeper, despite the outside noise, didn't you ever notice, that everything around you- just seems to calm down. I can meditate anywhere, and produce that effect. It just happens. Yes we are all connected on the level of consciousness. Birds, bees, trees, and humans. And when you transcend and experience you own being; This has a calming healing effect on the whole. Now, as I was saying in a previous post; As you get more familiar with maintaining pure consciousness; Like we do in the siddhi practice; Then you might want to allow your attention to go to an area; Which feels disturbed, or hollow, or empty? And just allow yourself to hold pure consciousness in your awareness; While also allowing your awareness to hold that which needs healing. And hold the beingness and the other vibration; Until you feel the other vibration, shift. This can be a form of prayer. Just establishing yourself in pure peace of the transcendent. And bring that peace through your awareness, to the disturbance; Wherever the disturbance is felt: in the field of awareness/ As everything is (are) vibrations of consciousness; So pure consciousness, purify's everything. Whether pure or impure, anyone who is in the presence of enlivened Pure consciousness is purified... So, whether you can scientifically prove this is irrevelevant to me. This is my experience. Proof is like Pontius Pilot wanted of Jesus. Sometimes, it just doesn't work that way. Sometimes, no amount of proof, will prove anything; To one who is blind to the truth. Now, as far as the situation in Fairfield, I think a lot of that has to do with politics and different ego power plays, in the town and in the meditator community itself. I also believe that Fairfield has attracted to it, many people with some 'heavy karma' to dissolve; and that Fairfield, Iowa, is just a strange, dusty old midwest town, with a failed university, in the past, Parsons college, and just that we got a good deal on it; And that's where it all ended up... Lot's of Karma there for sure... And any group of people can surely be called a 'cult' Like the Roman Catholic 'cult'.
