Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: The Call to Spiritual Order,Rally Now to Meditation!
The moderator here seems to be more religiously oriented than the typical TM meditator. I think the average TM meditator is a bit more secular. As for his comments about grace they appear to be "the free and unmerited favor of God" which is basically a Christian idea, even though the idea of spiritual grace appears in other traditions. If you are ill and someone cares for you, that is a kind of grace. Grace is simple elegance or refinement of movement, a kind of beauty that soothes and takes away the ache. One feels a kind of grace on learning any meditation that is effective as it takes the edge off living. As awareness becomes clearer, the nature of grace begins to shift from something that is done to you or done for your benefit to something that is what you are. The attribution of grace then shifts from persons, traditions, what people have told us, to a function of the world as a whole. As we become that world and our ego-nature subsides the idea and significance of grace fades away as an unreality. In a unity there is nothing that does something to something else except on a superficial level of change. The nature of experience at that point forbids the idea that something happened to get to that state, for it is seen that grace, as all the other trappings of spiritual progress, were delusional, unreal. To put it in TM terms, TC, CC, GC, and immature UC provide a platform for the function of the idea of grace because there is the potential for some relief and change in the situation. But once BC and rock-solid stability are the norm, grace as an idea is in the coffin because it is not necessary to receive something in order to be what you already are and always have been. Giving thanks for that is just talking to yourself and making a mood. Because enlightenment is the pervasive bed of reality, every aspect of experience can be a lead-in, a point of access to that reality. The mind can be narrow, but the path is not, it is everywhere all the time, trying to break down that narrow vision. When that narrowness cracks open clearly for the first time, there is a tendency to associate the breaking open of freedom with what you were doing at that time and especially if other people tell you that. So if you are meditating, you associate that kind of meditation and the teaching of it with the result. But you could be putting the trash in the garbage can when you have an opening like that. But the garbage can is not going to tell you it is the way and the life and the freedom you were seeking, so less likely that will be thought to be a cause. But the real cause is there is no cause because simply a misunderstanding of the situation is being dissipated. You are living the life of freedom but think it is not. Once that thought is squashed at every level of your being, it is a done deal. So grace, like all other areas of spiritual understanding, is ultimately an illusion. But while it is still a functional idea, enjoy the experience as it can take emphasis off your ego, can act as a nudge toward a more fulfilling direction. It is interesting that spiritual organizations in teaching you to be free are often highly regimented. All Maharishi said was meditate and act, do your thing during the day. So you are going to be free and you can only do what they say? If you have managed to subdue the ego, and the mind is quiescent, why not walk among all the people for you have become the very world they envision they inhabit. There is no nexus for omnipresent reality, no one point or activity more important than another, they are a whole. Perhaps just brushing against some stranger or a word here or there will be the nudge that sets them desiring the larger scale of life.

Well, forgive this voicing of a different viewpoint, but this one's personal opinion is that one genuine disciplined meditator meditating regularly amongst100 non-meditators is more effective in society than 100 meditators meditating amongstthemselves - although there is certainly a beneficial social family aspect which cannot be denied from similar association on such a deep level.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: The Call to Spiritual Order,Rally Now to Meditation!
We are most grateful to all those who came answering the call and sat up in their meditations with us in Fairfield, Iowa. It has been our honor to have had those who traveled from distant places joining alongside us here in collective meditation in these times. -JaiGuruYou Those of you that have been going to the Domes recently will be aware that many of our friends from across the country have joined us here in Fairfield over the last week or so, and they have helped boost the overall attendance in evening program to over 750 people. If you arent able to attend any of the official flying halls, please try to do group program together with friends in 2s, 3s, 4s, etc., whatever is convenient, and aim to start your yogic flying practice at the official CST times of 8:15 am and 5:45 pm. Jai Guru Dev Raja John Hagelin and the Ideal Community Group Bhairitu writes: I think Doug is lost in the nostalgia of early 1970s TM which ended when the "self appointed" purity gestapo returned from AofE courses.

Remember all that TM has given you- is giving you, the countless blessings, and return your gratitude to the source. Gratitude and praise open a channel for support of nature to come to you. Listen to and read what Maharishi said about the Maharishi Effect. A full commitment by individuals who gather in groups is all that it takes. Future generations will be so grateful when they learn about you--what you did for them, this world, the future. And that includes the sacrifices you made moving to Fairfield remaining true to your convictions and to the tradition from which the knowledge came. Jai Guru Dev, ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Quite a few of my friends meditate, and some are teachers, but most of us live far from Fairfield, IA. But we are scattered over a wide area so group gatherings of meditators tends to take place only during quarterly celebrations or occasional group meditations. Attempting to get enlightened is not a military campaign against the outer world, it is a campaign against our inner inadequacies. The outer world takes care of itself, as it says in Tao Te Ching: "So the wise adhere to action through non-action, And communicate the teaching without words." Extolling meditators to perform under command, as if they were a seal on the commercial stage balancing a ball on its nose, negates the spontaneity of effortless flow. Those who live in movement facilities live under this constriction, but those who do not often have lives far removed from life in the movement, we meditate when and where we can when we so desire. If the desire to meditate is genuine, it comes naturally, effortlessly and time will be made as allowed by the greater expanse of the world under the Laws of Nature. Spiritual movements ebb and flow, they begin, evolve, and dissipate. None of them eventually stay true to their original purpose which is simply for the human mind to wake up to its actual nature as experience opposed to its intellectual musings which flow as constricted rivers of thought.

Yes, it is quite time now to STFU and meditate. As in, ..Sit up, attend to and actually meditate. In groups. It is time to rally to meditation by all that the best of modern science tells us is statistical truth and by what we know more objectively in our experience as quite fair rule of thumb. It is quite time now to come together in collective meditation for all that is good. It is quite time now to ‘SitTFU’ and meditate. ---In
