Qualitatively I can vouch that generally people are actually sitting up
attending more to meditating now than before there was monitoring of the grant
$.
Possibly this one aspect of more people actually sitting up and meditating is
a general benefit of the greater expectations in monitoring.
Before the monitoring of the grant the meditating community with its Domes
were well known for its TM sleepers “dosing for dollars”. Quite evidently there
now is a lot more meditating going on per dollar granted for meditating than
before but a spiritual hurt otherwise here has been great.
Not like it used to be but the Domes even with their incredibly attrited
numbers are still powerfully activated spiritual places to meditate. That a
meditator would live in Fairfield and not go to the Dome meditation? God save
the Domes.

Adding to the list of Dr. Hagelin’s action points: a coffee maker and the
makings for black, green or chai teas in the Domes would be helpful for the
kapha types.
E-mail: “I was on the assembly for 4 years, and even while "minding my own
business," as Maharishi said, it was still obvious that there were a number of
individuals who were "off the program." Certain guys would lie down almost
immediately on arrival in the dome and sleep through the entire round!
Sometimes both rounds! This was happening, like, right in front of me, so it
was pretty hard to miss. In the early days,”
I agree this problem and fair observation with others sleeping in the Domes
needs to be in a larger consideration about the Dome meditation and like so
many other things there with the community it needs to be spoken to by some
calm leadership.

Succinct Action Steps for Dr. Hagelin to Engage
Group conversations and committee summaries:
Top of list: Re-articulate Communal Mission
Dissolve all the Meditation Monitoring System(s). Get the movement out of all
the biz of monitoring people (students, faculty, grantees, citizens, old
initiators/govs of TSR) and their meditations.
Dissolve the IAA grant program as it is currently. Re-Start a World Peace
Assembly for those who can.
Shorten the morning and evening long program by letting attendees out of the
Domes by 11:45am and 6:15pm so our meditators could be eating and networking in
sync with the larger meditating community around them. Axe the time spent on
the puja and the 10am ‘number one’ experience meeting in the middle of the
morning meditation.
Worst than just being spartan the grant program as it has been administered
turns these people into renunciate sanyasis in our midsts.
Stop the daily Puja Performance as part of the Dome meditation program
Stop the 10:00am ‘number one experience’ sessions. Make that meeting now
separate from the meditating of the group.
Get the Dome WPA meditation down to two long programs for anyone who would
take the time.
Advocate largely for the larger group meditation by the practice of
transcendent meditative experience along with the science, and not through
disciplinary punitive means of judging or monitoring of practice while
meditating, the level of fealty of faith or belief, or the individual lives of
members.
Done.
Q: They wonder, why are people not meditating together?
A:Using our own communal technical Vedic Science nomenclature.. Monitoring
lowered the group coherence and numbers meditating in Fairfield by 'tainting
the wave function' of consciousness as the wave function of individual
consciousness collapses in meditation(™).
The coloring of consciousness with fear by effect of monitoring in physical
observation is antithetical to meditation in creating stress to the innocence
of the practice.
It was the same complaint of students both at MSAE and MUM over being graded
on their meditation practice by monitors and having that grade go in
transcripts. The same complaint of the file-making on meditator’s private lives
by ‘the administrative state’ of the ™ movement.
The monitoring needs to be decompressed to something else to help get back to
increased levels of communal cohesion again.
Towards Regaining Communal Critical Mass:
Also, it is way past time to re-draft the national guidelines that regulate
membership for inclusion in the group meditations. There are way too many
“non-compete” clauses that remain in the guidelines, still. Clauses that
exclude capable meditators from the collective of the group meditations. It is
sinful what the Rajas have continued to abide in excluding people.
