Re: [FairfieldLife] Migrants in Hungary

[Mike Dixon mdixon.6...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

 I've noticed over the past several months, from numerous sources over the 
internet, that the US has been settling a lot of refugees from that region, not 
necessarily Syria. It's been done very quietly. Places like Florida, Texas and 
Montana have been mentioned. Seems like others as well. The UN has been 
responsible for the arm twisting to take them. One article that  I saw, just a 
few days ago, said the US is taking a very high percentage of those seeking 
resettlement. Sorry I can't provide sources, just keep your eyes open, they pop 
up all the time.

    There's a problem over there.  Many of them are displaced due to the war in 
Syria.  The UN should step in to help them settle safely--perhaps anywhere in 
Europe.
With the current foreign sentiment in the US, it's not likely any of these 
migrants will be settled here.

The SF Bay Area has a lot of Iranian emigrants because the latitude and 
hence weather is more like Tehran.  The ones I met were either 
Christians or into things that Islam didn't approve of.  Sad thing was 
that Iran just wanted their country back after the CIA installed the 
Shah not a Islamic government.

There's a problem over there.  Many of them are displaced due to the 
war in Syria.  The UN should step in to help them settle 
safely--perhaps anywhere in Europe.


With the current foreign sentiment in the US, it's not likely any of 
these migrants will be settled here.

MD, 

 If the US should take any more migrants from Europe,  the government should 
settle them in cities/states with dwindling population or low population such 
as Detroit MI,  Oakland CA, New Orleans LA, Wyoming, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah 
and others.
 

 But would Trump and other Republican candidates make a public spectacle out of 
it?

good Indian restaurant to dine in the city.  During the conversation, he 
mentioned that Iranians do not typically eat unleavened bread like the Arabs in 
the Middle East.  So, I asked, "Are you saying you don't consider yourself an

have beer and liquor through the black market.  He said I'd like Iran if I

Re: [FairfieldLife] Migrants in Hungary

MD, 

 One sad thing about Hungary and the countries near there is that they've 
become xenophobic because of their violent past with Muslims living among them. 
  Hence, we've seen cases of "ethnic cleansing" in Serbia during the recent 
past.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Migrants in Hungary

Some groups assimilate well, others don't. Unfortunately, Muslims insist that 
we assimilate to them and accept Sharia.

 The SF Bay Area has a lot of Iranian emigrants because the latitude and

their country back after the CIA installed the Shah not a Islamic government.

    There's a problem over there.  Many of them are displaced due to the 
war in Syria.  The UN should step in to help them settle safely--perhaps 
anywhere in  Europe.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Migrants in Hungary

[Bhairitu noozg...@sbcglobal.net [FairfieldLife]]

We also have Muslims in the SF Bay Area who are not pushy about their 
religion.  Like any religion, Muslims range from being fanatics to 
people who were born into Muslim families where the religion was never 
practiced and they know nothing about it.  A lot of Muslims in the Bay 
Area were probably fleeing Dodge. ;-)

Re "Iranians are not Arab, they consider themselves Persian.": 

 Not just "consider themselves" - they are Persian. The dominant ethnic group 
is Aryan(!) and not Semitic.
 

 Re "jr_esq "migrants from Europe,  the government should settle them in 
cities/states with dwindling population or low population": 

 Well, yes. But, as people in the States can move wherever they like, any 
migrants could also move wherever they like. And if they prefer to decamp to 
densely populated cities there's nothing you could do about it.

   Bhairitu,
 

 About a year ago, I was eating at a bar/restaurant (Lefty O'doul's)  near 
Powell St. in SF and was chatting with a guy from Iran.  He was asking me for a 
good Indian restaurant to dine in the city.  During the conversation, he 
mentioned that Iranians do not typically eat unleavened bread like the Arabs in 
the Middle East.  So, I asked, "Are you saying you don't consider yourself an 
Arab?"  He quietly shook his head.  Also, although not legal in Iran, you can 
have beer and liquor through the black market.  He said I'd like Iran if I 
visited there.

Right, they have every right to be xenophobic. Look what's happening all over 
Europe. Riots in France and Belgium , murders in Holland, France, Denmark and  
Great Britain in the name of Jihad. Hundreds recently deported from one 
Scandinavian country due to violence. Germany doesn't want this crap. Nobody 
wants to see anybody suffer but they seem to bring it with them and spread it 
around.  We should have had a 40,000 strong force left in Iraq to maintain the 
fragile peace that had been won but now has been lost for a campaign promise.

There's a problem over there.  Many of them are displaced due to the 
war in Syria.  The UN should step in to help them settle 
safely--perhaps anywhere in Europe.


With the current foreign sentiment in the US, it's not likely any of 
these migrants will be settled here.

 MD, 

 If the US should take any more migrants from Europe,  the government should 
settle them in cities/states with dwindling population or low population such 
as Detroit MI,  Oakland CA, New Orleans LA, Wyoming, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah 
and others.
 

 But would Trump and other Republican candidates make a public spectacle out of 
it?
 

 Trump and the Republicans make a spectacle of just about everything. Trump, 
for a landed immigrant, certainly doesn't like to share and he is, among many 
other things, someone who expects such a big piece of the pie, and is one of 
those humanoids who believes excess is necessity or, even worse, his God-given 
right. These kinds of people are without a sense of balance or the ability to 
put themselves in the place/shoes of others. He is a sociopath and it 
continually gobsmacks me that there is a single person on the planet who could 
feel any synchronicity with him let alone, for one minute, consider him as a 
viable candidate for The Prez of the US of A. Astounding.

  I've noticed over the past several months, from numerous sources over the 
internet, that the US has been settling a lot of refugees from that region, not 
necessarily Syria. It's been done very quietly. Places like Florida, Texas and 
Montana have been mentioned. Seems like others as well. The UN has been 
responsible for the arm twisting to take them. One article that  I saw, just a 
few days ago, said the US is taking a very high percentage of those seeking 
resettlement. Sorry I can't provide sources, just keep your eyes open, they pop

[FairfieldLife] Re: The '93-'94 Survey of Meditating Fairfield

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

Yes, this larger survey is interesting base-line data on the larger meditating 
community in Fairfield from back when the meditating community and the Dome 
numbers were more around their peak as the long decline (attrition) was then 
ensuing. You can see the seeds and the consequent beginning of the cultivated 
socioeconomic exclusivity sprouting then and the administrative separation of 
meditators from membership in the group meditation over visiting saints and 
spiritual people that had started in the late 1980's and through the 1990's to 
present. 
 
 
 Since the larger sample community survey of the early 1990's there have only 
been small sample surveys of sub-groups. In a way the recent book on Fairfield 
[How a New Age Movement Remade a Small Town in Iowa] by the journalist, Joseph 
Weber is a survey by extensive interviewing of the Fairfield meditating 
community that is current. A few years ago when there was such strife in the 
sustainable living students an interview survey was hired and conducted of the 
university SL students about their experience at the university. The results 
were presented to the administration and then defended against by the 
President. That survey and more recent surveying has been useful more recently 
in guiding some policy changes around the university and MSAE student life 
currently. 
 
 
 While the progressive side of the TM movement has been methodically tracking 
metrics and hiring marketing surveying related to the teaching of meditation, 
there have not been broad surveying of the meditating community of the scale of 
the 1994 survey. That could proly be too frightening for some of the key 
patriarchs of old administration on watch of the movement to see. 
 
 
 The closest thing to that kind of surveying would be a larger ongoing survey 
of collected first-person cases by a sub-committee of the Fairfield Mental 
Health Alliance compiling cases where people have felt their well-being was 
effected by their experience with the culture of the movement. There is a range 
and distribution to those collected cases which have clearly indicated areas 
for policy changes that could improve elements of culture and consequences in 
aspects of the movement. Elements of the movement are moving on some of this 
while some ideologues try to hold a dogmatic line against it. Having 
'data-points' has been extremely helpful towards seeing policy. There is a lot 
in process going on and things are also fluid.  -JaiGuruYou

 The Community Forum
 Community-wide Survey Results 
 (also saved as documents in the FairfieldLife at Yahoo-groups files section.)
 Dear Meditator,
 In late spring (1994), the Community Forum sponsored a community-wide survey 
to sample opinion on a wide range of issues that affect our lives. Based on a 
compiled list of Fairfield-area meditators, we sent out approximately 2,000 
surveys. We received 659 completed surveys, for a response rate of about 33%. 
(The response rate may even be higher; since we used bulk mail, we do not know 
the exact number of surveys delivered.) In the field of written surveys, a 
response rate of 33% is considered outstanding. 
 Survey respondents come from a cross-section of our community: 84% have been 
meditating for 16 years or longer; 68% have lived in Fairfield for seven years 
or more; and 68% are registered for Super Radiance. Although not every 
meditator filled out a survey, we believe the results provide significant 
insights into how meditators feel about important issues and about our lives in 
Fairfield.
 Survey Data
 This document provides the raw data for all questions except for the essays. 
For the essays, this document lists the more common suggestions and comments.
 Looking at the data, one can identify responses of general consensus and also 
responses reflecting widely diverse opinions. Where there is a clear need and 
desire in a particular area of concern, the Community Forum will hold open 
meetings so that interested people can come together, discuss options, and 
explore possible solutions. 
 The survey data can also be evaluated from a variety of different perspectives 
(e.g., age, gender, income, Movement status, etc.). We encourage anyone with 
statistical analytical skills to help us analyze the survey results more 
thoroughly. 
 
 Thank You!
 We would like to thank everyone who participated in the survey! We would also 
like to thank those who wrote to us with comments and suggestions about the 
survey.

I work with Iranians. They are as intelligent as the Arabs
are phools. 
You say some don't appear to be hard-core muslims? 
Many that are here in 'Smerica are not but that doesn't matter.

When musselmen arrive in a country they go to work to get 
money to send back to their wives. Then they congregate 
with other musselmen in the mosque and make their connections.

When they increase their population sufficiently, then they agitate
to institute Shariah in their own communities (as in Britain). Once 
the population shifts to a majority then their Imans agitate for majority
rule of Shariah Law. 

According to on of the great authorities on Islam, Iman Muhammad Al-Ghazali (a 
great sufi and a hard-core jurist), Musselmen have no validity inhabiting the 
environs of the Kufur (infidels) unless they are advancing the supremacy of 
Islam.  

You speak as if you know, yet you are as ignorant about Islam as the common 
'Serican. If you knew more you would be embarrassed but you are too clueless to 
realize your ignorance.  

Shut up and submit 'Smerican. You cannot hold Islam back. 
Give up your idolatrous Tantra or be "purified" - stinkun Kufur!

You will only be allowed to live as long as Allah wills. 
Yer just a slave - understand it or not.

 This last paragraph is enlightening. This Mental Health Alliance group is 
important, it seems and the data it could produce would/could address all sorts 
of aspects with regard to the socio-economic factors that may have resulted in 
damage to individuals coupled with its relationship to their 
involvement/participation in or practice of TM. In the sense that TM is 
supposed to factor into all aspects of one's life this mental health thing is 
relevant in perhaps revealing where the meditation technique might not measure 
up to its promise. Those in the meditating community in FF are often old 
timers, not only in their practice of TM but chronologically. The mere fact of 
the existence of the Mental Health Alliance is evidence of the need for 
psychiatric aid for those practicing TM. How could anyone in the Movement cling 
to dogma in the face of such a fact? Perhaps they require the attention of the 
professionals in the psychiatric department there. Rabid or avid denial is a 
form of aberrational behavior, is it not?
