[FairfieldLife] History Rewritten: Europe is Now the Birthplace of Humans?

[FairfieldLife] Re: Re Separatists, In Quiet, European ancestral genealogy of transcendentalism

[dhamiltony...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

Of the modern day persecution of transcendentalists, up in Wisconsin recently I 
ran into an older ™ initiator from there. This is someone who saw a TM intro 
lecture poster in 1969 in Madison, attended the lecture that was given by 
Walter Koch and learned ™ then in those times. 

 As a State certified teacher working in public school this person then fell 
victim to persecution for associating with ™.  Directly persecuted by school 
superintendents, building principals,other staff, parents asking that their 
kids not be taught by this person or parents going directly to the school board 
to have this person fired for fear this person might be teaching meditation to 
the children. The superintendent calling the local ™ center seeking information 
about this staff teacher. The teacher declined resignation and stayed on 
teaching. But the pressure was great to resign. 
  
 This followed for years affecting this person’s career advancement.  An irony 
now is that mindfulness meditation is taught in the public schools up there 
today.
  
 This person is retired now from teaching and still traumatized by the longer 
experience of it does not talk to friends and associates about meditating or 
being with Maharishi in those days. When the person found I was from Fairfield 
and an old initiator from those days a comparing of old stories opened up. 

 The person was a working school teacher then and made use of school breaks. We 
figured we attended the same weekend residence courses early on in Iowa City as 
new meditators, one month courses with Maharishi, a teacher training course 
with Maharishi, ATR courses with Maharishi in Europe, was with Maharishi in 
Fairfield too.

 This person used the word ‘persecution’ in recounting the experience 
throughout. It was stark. Early days of moving to Meditating Fairfield, Ia. 
gave a small taste of insight in to what persecution in Jim Crow might have 
been to someone who was otherwise majority Iowan, like me coming to Fairfield 
as a transcendental meditationist.

 Now though with a longer time of assimilation the separation is not nearly so 
great in Fairfield.  And evidently, the postmodern is catching up with Madison, 
Wisconsin too as they are teaching meditation in their schools now.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Fairfield’s Crisis of M editator Numbers in the Dome: the Monitoring

[dhamiltony...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

At this point we should carry on without the movement doing the paying of 
people to meditate. That is just fraught with bad feeling. Parse that off to 
some other non-profit entity to figure out if it can be. Drop now the IAA and 
carry on with a WPA group meditation for those who can. The movement should 
simply just facilitate meditation and not try to run the social support program 
by monitoring people's lives. Let other parts of the meditating community 
figure that out.

 Responding e-mail: Dr. Hagelin, I came to MIU in 1974 as a student. One of the

 IF, MIU had had "monitoring"then, I'm sure I'd never have stayed in Fairfield. 
Honestly, the concept is weird and certainly not...spiritual.

 


 I stay because Fairfield is a mature and integrated spiritual community that 
supports me and that hopefully I contribute to. I do hope that some thought and 
consideration is given to the points about "monitoring". 

 I'm sure none of this policy is your design but I'm inspired to write you. One 
would hope, that the understanding of the practice 

 of meditation, i.e. that "control" doesn't work, could be applied in this 
instance.

 FW: Friends it is imperative that we all press Dr. Hagelin to put an end to 
monitoring in the Dome meditation.  Monitoring as it has been done in the 
administrative state of the “grant” program and the Invincible America Assembly 
stands as a prime culprit in the undoing of our communal cohesion as a 
meditating community. 
 

 There is an elite level of money and administrative apparatchiks in the 
movement community who are enamored of controlling people with punitive 
controls by monitoring meditation. Punitive monitoring of meditation is 
completely antithetical to what we stand on as the teaching of effortless 
meditation.  It is time to put to put an end to the administrative state of the 
Invincible America Assembly.
 

 This is an extremely important time right now. As much as one can act right 
now,  push this real concern about the group meditation here in Fairfield by 
contacting Dr. Hagelin now.  
 

 Dr. Hagelin as Raja of America in the Global Country of World Peace, Director 
of Maharishi Foundation USA, and as President of Maharishi International 
University (MUM), Dr. Hagelin has the position to pull rank and remediate this 
locally. 
 

 Ask him to take courage and right this predicament which is so fundamental to 
our innocent practice of meditation as a group.  It is time to remove what has 
been a sutra of fear from the Dome community. 
 


 Act now and share your feelings about this with Dr. Hagelin at,
 

 Contact,
 Write him
 

 Dr, John Hagelin, MUM President’s Office   
 

 Leave a Phone Message 

 
 

 Tell him:
 

 Dr. Hagelin,, 
 Please dissolve all the Meditation Monitoring System(s) and get the movement 
out of all the business of monitoring people (students, faculty, grantees, 
citizens, old initiators/govs of TSR) and their meditations.
 

 The large principle here is that monitoring the way it has been done in the 
Domes is fundamentally antithetical to the effortless practice of meditation 
there. 
 

 Tell this to Dr. Hagelin and anyone else who could help.
 

 For the community don’t lose this opportunity now to:
  
 Stop the ‘grant’ program right now as it is run. It is way too corrosive to 
the element of innocence and effortless meditation there.  Let some other 
community group figure out how to support these few indigents who are 
meditating on the “long program” in the Domes. Everything should be done to 
support them but it is clearly time to get the movement out of the 
administration of the grant. The money and with its monitoring the grant has 
destroyed the whole coherence of what was the place.
 

 A substantial “principle of the 2nd element” towards correcting this is to 
completely skip trying to ‘solve’ the problem on the level of the problem but 
simply to stop having the movement run the ‘grant’ program as the Invincible 
America Assembly.
  
 There have been weeks-long ongoing considerations of this in small groups and 
meditating community committees including grantees, university, TSR, IAA and 
administrator members of the meditating community..

 On my Governor training course with Maharishi some guy was telling Maharishi

 Possibly this one aspect of more people actually sitting up and meditating is

 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.

 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.

 Kaffa pacification in the Domes.. This is an excellent teaching having coffee 
and teas available in the Domes that would yield a whole lot better result than 
say having some General Patton monitoring meditations walking through the Dome 
meditation slapping the sleepers awake or kicking up the slouchers, trying to 
improve their character.

 Yes, as one understands the larger significance of the group meditating in the

Dr. Hagelin and ask him to address this problem directly in the Domes.

would be having coffee or chai available in the Dome lobby area.

 I vote for a latte/espresso machine, would serve a dual purpose of warming the

 Then again, keeping people uncomfortable and hungry seems to be part of the

better resolved following Maharishi’s instruction:  “You’ve slept enough. If

 On my Governor training course with Maharishi some guy was telling Maharishi 
that he was falling asleep in meditation a lot. This was about half way through 
the course with Maharishi. Maharishi heard this guy go on about falling asleep 
in meditation and snapped, “You’ve slept enough. If you are falling asleep in 
meditation take some stimulants, like coffee or tea”. 

Scout’s honor, that was the instruction.   Bevan was there too, he could back 
me up on this instruction directly from Maharishi.  
 
 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.

 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
