 Rates of Change.  The calculus of aging in TM.. 
 

 Some of what we can see in these lists is a natural aging-out of the Post-War 
Cohort, of the people who were early with Maharishi in the very early SRM 
movement,  the Walter Koch and Charlie Lutes generation of TM. 
 

 Now what we are seeing in TM is an accelerating rate of attrition to aging-out 
of the Boomer I and Boomer II’s.  Interestingly, the cusp time period where the 
Boomers I and Boomers II met was the time frame where TM took off in popular 
(college undergrad, grad student, professor-age) culture for a time.  A lot of 
the TM movement intake happened in those years 1968-76, over the cusp of the 
Boomers I and II.  
 

 You can see this particular cusp in the age span of meditators in the Dome or 
at campus meetings of the TM community now.  The WWII generation is pretty much 
gone from the ranks of TM now.  The Post-War Cohort are pretty gone or 
geriatric now and the Boomers I are increasingly shuffling or gone on.  Boomers 
II are increasingly ‘in diminish’.  Time is short regardless.

[FairfieldLife] Re: 'Radical' 'Revolutionary' Transcendental Meditationists

[dhamiltony...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

What Mao,could have said to meditators in transcendentalist revolution..
 The force at the core leading our cause forward is the Transcendental 
Meditation Movement. The theoretical basis guiding our spiritual experience and 
thinking is the Meissner Effect, the ME, found in Natural Law and our 
manifestly Self-evident experience meditating.

 If there is to be revolution, there must be a revolutionary meditating 
movement. Without a revolutionary meditating movement, without a movement built 
on the scientific and revolutionary theory of the ME and group meditation and 
in the style of science and spiritual experience of the Unified Field, it is 
impossible to lead the practicing meditator and the broad groupings of the 
meditators everywhere against the entrenched forces of reductionist 
materialism, of deconstructionism and their running-dogs.

A gruesome fate, supposedly actually happened to a man held for 34 years in

embellished by Alexander Dumas in the 1840's, and became the subject of various

[FairfieldLife] 13-th Century Pioneers

[yifux...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

From Wikipedia on Bonaventure (1221 - 1274), a Franciscan;, Thomas Aquinas 
(1225 - 1274), Dominican; and Roger Bacon (1214 - ?) Franciscan:
 Wikipedia:
 In philosophy Bonaventure presents a marked contrast to his contemporaries, 
Roger Bacon and Thomas Aquinas. While these may be taken as representing, 
respectively, physical science yet in its infancy, and Aristotelian 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristotle scholasticism in its most perfect form, 
he presents the mystical and Platonizing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plato 
mode of speculation that had already, to some extent, found expression in Hugo 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_of_St_Victor and Richard of St. Victor 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_of_St._Victor, and in Bernard of 
Clairvaux https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_of_Clairvaux. To him, the 
purely intellectual element, though never absent, is of inferior interest when 
compared with the living power of the affections or the heart,"
 

 Thus, in this century we have the incipient separation between 1. Mysticism 
(Bonaventure), 2. Bacon (empiricism), and 3. Aquinas (Aristotelian 
scholasticism.  Although in the case of Aquinas, we have an individual who 
basically had a two-part history: the first, that of an amazing intellectual 
genius,; and second, an equally amazing mystic, devotee of Jesus, and a 
levitator.
 ...
 The above 3 threads of evolution can be extended to the time of Luther, who 
introduced a distinct fourth trend since he was not a. highly intellectual, b. 
not an empiricist, and c. definitely not a mystic. (Salvation by Faith alone, 
not of works).
 

 The mystical element by the time of George Fox can be further bifurcated into 
pure Transcendentalism (Fox, imo); vs contemplative mysticism (various Catholic 
Saints).  Due to repression by the Catholic Church and the grip of religious 
dogma, the latter trend has more or less fizzled out, with Padre Pio (died 
1968) possibly  the last of the dualistic Catholic mystics). 
 But the work of Fox remains in countless multitudes of "Spiritual but not 
religious", either operating and evolving independently, or coalescing around 
Gurus like MMY, Ammachi, Eckhart Tolle.
 

 Among the many Gurus on the scend, those in turn can be classified as pure 
Transcendentalists (e.g. Tolle, Ramana Maharshi), who on some level can be 
labeled Shaivites, vs the Shakta school exemplified by Ammachi.  Guru Dev was 
more in the Shakta or Divine Mother School.

A Brazen Head was a mechanical automaton having origins in the late Midieval

Thx for that information.  There must be some higher purpose beyond 
the superficial appearance of Petra's untimely departure. I celebrate 
her now as a true Celestial Beacon and Angel, as a pioneer in the 
higher planes patiently awaiting thousands if not millions of Souls to 
come her way.


One can get an idea of what's going on in the lower and higher Astral 
planes, as well as the Celestial (the latter indescribable), by 
accessing almost any of the "lessons" given to us by Swedenborg, for 
example the Youtube entry "A Day in the Life of an Angel" - 
Swedenborg. The term "Angel" as used by Swede! nborg refers to any 
human not alive physically, who now lives in the subtle planes that he 
investigated and reported on in several volumes - one of which is 
"Heaven and Hell" available online. (but the Youtube videos are better).


As to exactly what Petra's new work entails, or the plane of existence 
she's currently residing in,, I don't know but I feel that it will be 
to prepare the way for vast numbers of seekers of the Truth (such as 
aging baby boomers), who will be entering those realms. Petra will be 
there to await their arrival and guide them into the proper environment.



In a separate post I will summarize "Protect Sensitive Stomach 
Linings" as featured in Life Extension.


I don't know how many TM "lurkers" or others are reading these posts, 
but perhaps the information may help some.



In any event, I'm envious of Petra. She's probably in the arms of 
Jesus, while I still on this planet.


Another key principle in the work of Swedenborg pertains to the main 
differences between life on earth and life in the astral and higher 
planes. In those realms, people naturally segregate according to the 
amount of Love they radiate and the Wisdom they posses. Yes, people in 
the astral have actual jobs - countless types but the overall 
objective is the common good.  This type of separation in the planes 
can be compared to a mixture of liquids in which the various densities 
separate according to density.  Our Earth, otoh, is a place where one 
can walk down the street  and the Saints and Sinners are all mixed 
together. Bad situation! (that's a Trump-like hashtag).

Yes, the Domes in Fairfield quite evidently are activating spiritually too like 
spiritual places are for an individual or collective.   There certainly is a 
reality to that. Like sitting in a gathered Quaker meeting In effect wages 
peace as places in the silence of their spiritual processes. Waging Peace now 
given these agitated and divided times, the imperative seems to rise as we know 
more. It becomes like a duty: duty for those who know how to pursue and wage 
radical peace spiritually.

candle keep walking forward into the dark and extend the light.  This is the 
dark age of materialism, Kali Yuga. 
 

 There is virtue and divinity in everything, even a broken clock reads the time 
correctly 2 times a day.  Even in the worst human beings there is compassion 
there too.  You cannot force unity to happen, it unfolds by itself. Feel happy 
first and others will be too. Every drop flows to the ocean. Do whatever you 
can. Even though one half are gripped by fear everything will be alright, even 
if it is not.  Strengthen the internal mind to help others. Let the weapon be

the work.   ]

 talk/discourse with Swamiji..
 Transcribed From handwritten notes:

 

 Big-Swami-
 'A follow-up on the fear and confusion in the world and of ‘institutional 
fear’ questions from the previous day,'
 

 Big-Swami: “.. saying there is ‘no need of confusion or fear’ is not a simple 
or superficial statement.

 The way we look at the universe is different than ..the world view.  For us 
the universe cannot be self-made, everything obeys Nature.  We cannot amend 
that.  For every action Nature follows the set laws. We are not an exception to 
the laws of Nature, we only break ourselves against nature’s law.  
Indiscriminately the law of karma works as nature.  The Law of Karma is the law 
of the Universe.  [..some examples, ‘there are pious credits ..but then you get 
the credit’.. Gita IV.v17..] 
 ”The mills of God (nature) grind slow but fine.”
 

 ..Don’t expect that people will understand you.  Understanding equals love, 
patience equals compassion, if people do not understand then grow your own 
inner light. 
 In life, civil law we have to learn and Nature’s law we have to learn. Even a 
little of this practice protects from fear.  There are 3 dimensions of space 
and 1 of time, space is static, time is movement.  A. Huxley: there is one 
corner of the universe you can improve and that is your own.  
 

 [discussion of power politics.. Binding love and liberating love are 
different.. A sugar-coated politics is power politics with domination, greed, 
and anxiety. ..Sympathy is not the same as empathy.. 
 

 (Cultivating Remedy) in these times:  1.mental purification (ethical/moral 
preparation action). 2.love(selfless service to others) 3.meditation(spiritual 
practice). 
 

 ..Discerning self-less service (action) from “what is in it for me”. Love 
yourself, accept yourself; can’t love yourself can’t love others. 
 

 The human body is a Holy temple, it is a temple of God and through love and 
then acceptance life is an opportunity to serve and love.  A combination of 
perfection of meditation and compassion is a rare thing. There are awakened 
people but the combination of awakening with compassion is a rare thing. There

[dhamiltony...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

Yep, the mortality here it seems is kind of normal given the demographics.  
Though:   There is a generational change upon us in this.  It is getting clear 
the baby-boomer is clocking out.
 

The mortality in the meditator group is proly not that much different from what 
would be in any well or overly educated groups of white, first world 
socio-economic, non-smoker, more vegetarian peoples.
 

 One small abnormality in the larger group might possibly be those who had 
access to more copious quantities of ayurvedic compounds coming directly from 
India laced with heavy metals. Would need more research on this.  That could be 
worthy of the U. of Iowa College of Public Health looking in on some evident 
incidence of neurological infirmity in some meditators. There is a hypothesis 
there to test. -

 Thx for that information.  There must be some higher purpose beyond the 
superficial appearance of Petra's untimely departure. I celebrate her now as a 
true Celestial Beacon and Angel, as a pioneer in the higher planes patiently 
awaiting thousands if not millions of Souls to come her way.
 One can get an idea of what's going on in the lower and higher Astral planes, 
as well as the Celestial (the latter indescribable), by accessing almost any of 
the "lessons" given to us by Swedenborg, for example the Youtube entry "A Day 
in the Life of an Angel" - Swedenborg. The term "Angel" as used by Swedenborg 
refers to any human not alive physically, who now lives in the subtle planes 
that he investigated and reported on in several volumes - one of which is 
"Heaven and Hell" available online. (but the Youtube videos are better).
 As to exactly what Petra's new work entails, or the plane of existence she's 
currently residing in,, I don't know but I feel that it will be to prepare the 
way for vast numbers of seekers of the Truth (such as aging baby boomers), who 
will be entering those realms. Petra will be there to await their arrival and 
guide them into the proper environment.
 

 In a separate post I will summarize "Protect Sensitive Stomach Linings" as 
featured in Life Extension.
 I don't know how many TM "lurkers" or others are reading these posts, but 
perhaps the information may help some.
 

 In any event, I'm envious of Petra. She's probably in the arms of Jesus, while 
I still on this planet.

 Nice. Yep, evidently it happens. I read your post out to my wife who knows 
these kinds of things more:  Nice. How did he know it was Bonaventure?  This 
happened to Carolyn Myss who wrote anatomy of spirit.  This was a person, a 
kind of a left-brain person, who was learning about the chakra system who had 
her experiences with it, becoming an amazing intuitive with it.  Then, in the 
middle of a public lecture, and totally out of the blue, St. Teresa of Avalon, 
bam.  She was rendered to her, awakened to her.  
 Myss was incapacitated by it for a while.  She was giving a lecture and this 
happened.  
 This happened.  
 She would communicate with her.  In many ways it would change her life. Myss 
was an edgy person.  This broke her heart open, she had this incredible 
conversion.. They are out there. This conversion of her personality, this 
influence on her personality came from ..   for her it was like a darshan, like 
a super-duper darshan experience.  This was not a psychotic episode. Nope, you 
know how it is like with Ammachi when people get smited. People have these 
meltdowns, have something shift there, is just like that. -JaiGuruYou

 Otherwise known as St. Bonaventure, (1221 - 1274), whom I believe was/is a 
"Transcendentalist" based on his writings, as was Aquinas.  During that era 
(and all other eras for Catholics), one best phrase mystical experiences in the 
proper context (preferably in the light of dualistic devotion to Jesus); rather 
than the all-pervasive Ground of Being.  The Inquisition had its roots in St. 
Bonaventure's day.
 In any event, I only bring him up because to my utter amazement, he 
appeared to me in a positively brilliant form last night in the dream state; 
radiating energy so other-worldly that my nervous system in that state 
virtually melted but could not easily record as a memory (since there was no 
previous data bank to account for that type of experience).  But during the 
experience I immediately knew that the amazing vibes this Saint radiated was 
only the reflected light of Jesus
 Why he appeared to me as opposed to somebody else, I don't know (yet). He said 
nothing specific. Just radiated the most amazing energy to a small group of 
persons including me. Trumpian hastag: "More, more!"
