[FairfieldLife] Re: Countering a Post-Modern Spiritual Disabling of the Human Being..

2016-12-18 Thread dhamiltony...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]
“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."

 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.

 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

 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

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.
 Also, fueled by an outpouring of generosity from our amazing, indefatigable 
donors, we are engaged in a feverish renovation and transformation of our MUM 
campus..
 ..
 : bolstering student satisfaction, retention, and enrollment; improving 
faculty skills, credentials, compensation, housing, and benefits—including 
retirement benefits; enhancing our ability to inspire our students with 
Maharishi’s unique knowledge and vision, deepening their experiences with 
Advanced Techniques and the TM-Sidhis; strengthening our core academic 
programs; and expanding programs that will have the greatest positive financial 
impact, thereby providing the economic engine to fulfill all these other vital 
commitments.

 ..
 With my deepest thanks for your timely support, and with my sincere wishes for 
your health, happiness and success,
   John Hagelin, Ph.D.

including the nation’s first center for Regenerative organic agriculture—a 
groundbreaking agricultural innovation designed to reverse the loss of our 
global soil supplies, with the added potential, if broadly implemented, to 
sequester enough atmospheric carbon to counter and reverse global climate 
change.

 ..But these achievements are just the tip of the iceberg. We have just emerged 
from a weekend strategic summit with our University brain trust, where we set a 
path for rapid expansion and strengthening of all aspects of the University: 
bolstering student satisfaction, retention, and enrollment; improving faculty
