Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: The Call to Spiritual Order,Rally Now to Meditation!
“Praxis: Action grounded in particular values. To act rightly or goodly; action that furthers human well-being...It is not simply doing something, which Freier refers to as activism, or simply talking about, which he refers to as verbalism. Instead it refers to a creative and dialogical process, where people come together to describe and name their realities and then act with others to create a more non-violent, socially just, and inclusive society.” I know ya;ll are angry, afraid, overwhelmed, shocked, etc. but this will require real engagement and action to change this. Social media venting will not stop it. We will all have to be involved in turning our neighborhoods, communities, and cities into sanctuaries where this hatred cannot exist… and we must all hold each other accountable in this work. Ya’ll want to talk good liberal shit, show up and show out for the next four years, at the very least. -GenX ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,wrote : Not unto us, Om Unified Field, not unto us, but to thy name give the glory. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : "Om that we had one ten thousand of those meditators who do no meditation here.. this story shall a good person teach their children.

Is it come time for something radical, like a making of peace, going up in magnitude to a much larger scale? To go much higher than 1 percent, 5 in 100, much higher than the square root of one percent of a group meditating. Is it come time now for new critique and something more. In experience Transcendentalism has always been the critique to materialism that has gone out of perspective. Given the stakes, it would seem in the modern now it is time for revolutionary transforming transcendent meditationist action everywhere.

It has been our honor to have had those who traveled from distant places join alongside us here in collective meditation in these times. From time in memorium this is called the work of moral courage where people, deeper spiritual people [transcendentalists] do this, come in to groups meditating together for something larger. -JaiGuruYou ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Yes. If i understand properly, there are bodies of studies now authored, collaboratively with other reputable universities and institutions, and conducted independent of the .org, published studies that have extremely high statistical p values and then also aggregated high p values studies, replicated too that correlate the effects of meditating. Gold standard stuff. So the premise is that at a point the plain truth of such a series of extremely extraordinarily high p value published studies in the aggregate simply becomes statistical truth. A type of fact. What they correlate becomes fair ‘rule of thumb’. Unless of course as people may be anti-science or don’t understand science this way they may not grok what is completely current in the cutting edge of knowledge. This does not deny that there was bad or poorly designed or poorly performed science on meditation that went before. However, a sheer weight of the best of science is plainly correlating that it is a statistical truth now and quite fair rule of thumb that meditating has benefits that go with its practice. QED. It would be far better for you look at the webpage of http://www.truthabouttm.org/ http://www.truthabouttm.org/ towards engaging a much higher level of understanding of these things. I only know my objective experience with it all which I find statistically certain in many replicable ways for myself. -JaiGuruYou yifux...@yahoo.com> wrote : Thx,statements like this should be put into a proper perspective.

[FairfieldLife] Re: FF meditator memoriam
Eulogy, Meditators; it's been a long time, it's been a sacrifice at times to have been here. You came bravely, proudly. You're a special group. You've found in one another a bond that exists possibly only among siblings. You've shared community, held each other in dire moments. You've seen friends in their death here and we have all suffered together at times to be here. I'm proud to have meditated with each and every one of you. You all who came and joined the Fairfield, Iowa group meditation deserve long and happy rest in peace. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,wrote : Amalia Bright passed away yesterday. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Hi Friends Our dear friend William James Duke passed into the Life Eternal today at 2:54pm as the Supermoon was preparing to rise.
