[FairfieldLife] Re: Countering a Post-Modern Spiritual Disabling of the Human Being..
“Postmodernism is largely a reaction to the assumed certainty of scientific, or objective efforts to explain reality.” Q: People saying they are disabled in a mental agitation and chaos by 21st Century media then define certainty, an objective ‘that’? A: "When push comes to shove, you can be rational but what it really comes down to is how people feel. Their experience, though there can be information that comes mentally, information that can be helpful but actual transformational experience is in how this makes us feel. Our feeling of insight does not remain mental, it can’t, because what is that? Ideas, words, thoughts, what actually transforms it is when we are filled with the thrill of a type of a ‘a-hah’. Think of Einstein, a type of discovery that is rightness, a true-ness, that is a feeling. That isn’t a mental thing. It can be described, this theory, this formula, but the actual recognition that there is something true or a recognition that there is something true there is in here, the feeling of the heart. That is the disconnect here, because it can be so complex, they both can be so complex, we can have scattered minds we can have scattered emotional lives but when there is clarity of thought and purity of heart it is a pretty dynamite combination, clarifying." - "..Example in A Beautiful Mind, where the movie meets the super mind that is going on about how uncertain emotional life is and unreal it is, and the response back is, ‘..what about love, how do you prove it?’ Why is love real and yet we know it? When we experience it we know what love is. We know the feeling of love, but we say how do you prove that? It is both, it is not to say that we should not be disciplined mentally, have discourse on ideas and things, but they need to resonate in the heart. That is what Amma is talking about, that the purpose of a meditative practice is actually to quiet the mind so that you can experience this soul-nature that is experiential, that is a feeling. Our language is so limited because we think of feelings that are sensate, body based, where it is that deep recognition that something is true and good. My feeling in my perspective is that is what is important now. Certainly in working with people now." -The FF Coffee Haus Satsang ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,wrote : FW, e-mail: News and media must produce and they have nothing solid to talk about! Nearly all is speculation & anxiety of anticipation to fill time and media/electronics. Unfortunately this mode of thinking is infectious to the masses of people... cluttering the minds of all to the extent of mass confusion in sorting reality; this obsession with conveying gossip and speculation produces convictions blinding rational thoughts & feelings. Noting that the election is over...not subject to change. About 50% of voters were complacent with slow change using perennially implanted policies and tactics, and about 50% want to tear up the garden and to replant large tracts. We all must await new leaders , advisors, programs, approaches. So far we have not had definitive guidance revealing the future. As objective decisions occur and as consequences appear everyone will be able to carp and guide within the new guidelines. There are impeachment and periodic electionsif we survive. Current disorder of thinking simulates the 1840-1860s. And again 1870s to 1890s. Be observant and patient! Some say meditation and Eastern philosophy are helpful in these times. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Fear, the 'Social Question". The coming future.. “And that's the fear. The fear is that populism makes this not about an electoral ballot but really about the future, fundamentally of oneself within one society. And it - and populists winning, in particular, not only by having solutions that people can hang onto but by demonizing the opposition. And that's the danger in the society we're living into today. ..And it's not just in the United States. It's beyond that, which means that the period after November 8 really is the critical period because that will determine whether our electoral system and democratic system based on the alternation - the peaceful alternation - of power is acceptable.” -NPR ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Yes, the Domes in Fairfield quite evidently are activating spiritually too like spiritual places are for an individual or collective.

Since I accepted the reins of Maharishi University of Management from our extraordinary former President Dr. Bevan Morris, I have been Stretched mightily by the dizzying array of responsibilities in running a University; Deeply gratified by the remarkable progress we are already seeing; and Highly motivated by the multitude of tantalizing opportunities that lie just before us. Already, student enrollment expectations are surging, thanks to the exceptional skill of our newly reconstituted marketing team, functioning under the wizardry of Ron Barnett—the battle-tested marketing war hero who masterminded the exponential growth of U.S. TM instructions by at least 25-fold.
