I can't understand for the life of me why you'd object to telling people who can't make it to a group program that they should schedule their individual program to fly at the same time as the group. Plus which, calling people who aren't able to join a group "slackers" is sure as heck not going to help them feel a part of the movement. We don't need to get crazed over this Jyotish prediction.

Maharishi was both one of the great visionaries of the 20th Century and one of its greatest activist revolutionaries into the 21st Century. 35 years has been spent separating people from the ™ movement. It is silly that a few in this organization are reaching out asking for the collective help and sacrifice with what circumstance we have at hand and the leadership at his level is so tepid. An organizational need here right now is for some direct leadership with some clarity and spine that lays out the higher mission of who we are as transcendentalists and where we are going with this. Not some appeasements and buried comments at the bottom of some talk. Right now we need some coordanated leadership from the top on this that does not get in the way of good work being done on behalf of the organization and movement.

Well, this aught to be a good time for me to train my new Peregrine falcon.She was breed in captivity and never had to kill to survive. I have to be her parent and teach her. She just may go mid-evil under this influence. But I think that's what nature is doing right now. New offspring are showing up and predators are learning to feed. Thus the chaos at the bird feeders.

We moved up here to take car of Dad who has COPD and I've been observing animals and other creatures who live in the back yard out by the lake. Just today I witnessed a hummingbird attack another over access to the bird feeder. Yesterday a road runner was chased off by swallows. Then, just now a jack rabbit ran away from a barking dog. It's been raining here all morning and hundreds of birds are pecking at the ground terrorizing all kinds of insects. It's a war zone out there! We've got to do something to protect ourselves. I'm thinking about erecting a screened-in back porch so they can't get in.

That's what I'm talking about! We moved up here to take car of Dad who has COPD and I've been observing animals and other creatures who live in the back yard out by the lake. Just today I witnessed a hummingbird attack another over access to the bird feeder. Yesterday a road runner was chased off by swallows. Then, just now a jack rabbit ran away from a barking dog. It's been raining here all morning and hundreds of birds are pecking at the ground terrorizing all kinds of insects. It's a war zone out there! We've got to do something to protect ourselves. I'm thinking about erecting a screened-in back porch so they can't get in. That way, I could at least get down on my hands and knees and pray to the gods for protection without some pesky Zika mosquito biting my ass. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Mars is now in a very close conjunction with Saturn.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Meanwhile in Germany...
"Yes" what? You didn't answer my question. I understand, of course, that group program is said to be more powerful (including by King Tony, below--"this is the greatest strength"). What I *don't* understand is why people who can't make it to a group program should not be told, as King Tony did, to coordinate their individual program so as to fly at the same time as in group program. Also, I don't think it helps the movement's "transformation" to try to make people feel guilty if they can't get to a group program. That sounds to me like the Ancien Regime of Bevan Morris et al. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Yes, and by our experience and by the composite of quite a lot of good science we know that numbers of people meditating and proximity does matter in the Meissner-like transformational effect of groups meditating. Someone just sent me a chart from another new study on this. This ill-advise ‘non-localized’ comment from leadership just works against what is in the works of the movement right now and yet gives people codling excuse to sit back and be ill-disciplined when they could be helping by being in a group meditation. Yes, of necessity people’s circumstance may vary but movement policy has been splitting and bifurcating on this, eroding what transformational effect has been here. Hence, the Dome numbers (218 in the men’s Dome this morning) being what they are. This is an administrative failure of the program. People once could come to Fairfield, Iowa and be part of something larger. This thread critiquing leadership is very much part of an ongoing larger conversation being had right now in the movement. -JaiGuruYou ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : And you're being insulting. I'm not "willfully confusing the situation," I'm asking you to clarify your remarks.

Plus which, calling people who aren't able to join a group "slackers" is sure as heck not going to help them feel a part of the movement. We don't need to get crazed over this Jyotish prediction.

Maharishi was both one of the great visionaries of the 20th Century and one of its greatest activist revolutionaries into the 21st Century. 35 years has been spent separating people from the ™ movement. It is silly that a few in this organization are reaching out asking for the collective help and sacrifice with what circumstance we have at hand and the leadership at his level is so tepid. An organizational need here right now is for some direct leadership with some clarity and spine that lays out the higher mission of who we are as transcendentalists and where we are going with this. Not some appeasements and buried comments at the bottom of some talk.

The Hindu/Yoga Sun Salutation has no hands-and-knees pose (and no on-the-knees pose either, for that matter). ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Below are listed the twelve steps for performing the Surya Namaskar, including the "Astanga Pranam" asana position five. It's not complicated, although some yoga teachers like to make it so by adding some extra steps along with breathing techniques and bija mantras for each position. You seem to be having difficulty with this exercise so I've prepared this simplified routine for rounding and as an warm-up exercise before beginning hatha yoga in preparation for deep meditation: Get down on your hands and knees and pray; repeat the mantra: "Om Surya Namah". The important point is try to make a mood of being humble, giving thanks to God for sustaining creation. Of course, practicing under a teacher is always best, such as the Mahesh Yogi or Yogi Bhajan. Good luck and good fortune in your pursuit of enlightenment!

[FairfieldLife] Re: All Glory to the Sun God!
Below are listed the twelve steps for performing the Surya Namaskar, including the "Astanga Pranam" asana position five. It's not complicated, although some yoga teachers like to make it so by adding some extra steps along with breathing techniques and bija mantras for each position. You seem to be having difficulty with this exercise so I've prepared this simplified routine for rounding and as an warm-up exercise before beginning hatha yoga in preparation for deep meditation: Get down on your hands and knees and pray; repeat the mantra: "Om Surya Namah". The important point is try to make a mood of being humble, giving thanks to God for sustaining creation. Of course, practicing under a teacher is always best, such as the Mahesh Yogi or Yogi Bhajan. Good luck and good fortune in your pursuit of enlightenment!

[FairfieldLife] Re: Berggruen Institute
Mindfulness and the Berggruen Institute.. Yours is an extremely insightful critique of the modern ‘mindfulness’ movement. There is a peppy advert that runs on public radio in Iowa for a holistic health clinic that combines all health modalities up in Iowa City also using mindfulness. Is the kind of thing that TM could have capitalized on except that TM was so focused on establishing its own franchising of exclusive TM trademarks. The thinking through and the redo of the mental health policy within TM last year opened up the view and policy thinking about integrating ™ and all modern health modalities more. http://portals.mum.edu/Customized/uploads/guidelines-for-mental-health.html http://portals.mum.edu/Customized/uploads/guidelines-for-mental-health.html Also, The books, Transcendence: Healing and Transformation Through Transcendental Meditation and Super Mind: How to Boost Performance and Live a Richer and Happier Life Through Transcendental Meditation seem to be a competitive push-back against the modern cultural empire of all that is ‘mindfulness’ in the marketplace now. yifuxero writes: thxI've been thinking of contacting Berggruen and informing him of the same point you have made; but I doubt he'll listen. Even more depressing is that the Mindfulness Center at UCLA (a few blocks from Berggruen's Center) focuses "modern" psychiatry and apparently completely avoids the transcendentalist component of the original Mindfulness originating in Buddhism. They've unfortunately appropriated the techniques and downgraded them into a set of mind/body exercises intended to operate on a superficial level. Here's another UCLA center - of East-West Medicine - that operates in association with the Mindfulness Center. Looks like those UCLA people have capitalized on some trends that eventually could amount to something "transcendental" but probably not soon. It's somewhat ironic that the SIMS Movement started there, and down the street on Gayley Ave with various people associated with Jerry Jarvis. First lecture I heard re: TM was at UCLA by the Wallace and Winthrop Brothers and then later by Jerry. MMY came there in (1968?). Don['t have time to explore the reasons why UCLA was the original hotbed of the Student's Movement but didn't amount to anything permanent; while there's currently a burgeoning Mindfulness Movement. An important factor is the restrictive nature of who can become a teacher. Any psychiatrist at UCLA can put a feather in his cap by becoming a Mindfulness teacher, without any fuss from a corrupt organization. This will add to his/her prestige since knowledge of Mindfulness gives one the appearance of inside knowledge into the inscrutable and mysterious ways of Eastern traditions. Unfortunately, they leave out the transcendentalist part. I'll dig deeper into this by contacting some of the faculty.
