Meditate and Act
 

 Meditation with activity has always been the TM teaching (B.Gita II v 48).  
This teaching was one of the things also used to convince a change in the 
administration policy at a point to modify the ‘long’ IAAssembly morning 
program rounds to get it all shortened down more to what it is now with the 
idea according to the teaching to get them out of there and in to the world and 
community before the mid-day and to give them longer in the afternoon to ‘do 
things’ of life and be in the community. 
  
 That was important to have happen at the time for people’s health and general 
wellbeing. The long program the way it was enforced was turning folks in to 
pale renunciates in front of us here in the community. Then it is just a matter 
of how people may use their time between meditations. Turning compost for 
health is not a bad use of time. Meditate and perform action.  Communicating 
this by FFL was an effective element at the time in turning this around for the 
better. .

Though Skeptical people may cynically try to discount meditation saying it is 
just some ontology of subjectivity. However the experience is quite objective 
to the practiced meditator, even scientific.  

 
 Om no, Sal. On the contrary, these people are not categorically or necessarily 
‘nuts’ for their being in the Domes meditating. They know their own experience 
with it, so maybe consider having your own meditation practice checked, over at 
the Peace Palaces.

 “..They are meant to be together (head and heart) . You don’t abdicate the 
head, the brain, the mind or the heart, they are together, the ‘masculine and 
feminine’..”  
  
 Q: it sets up a duality talking about this, identifying it. 
  
 A: What Matt Kahn points out is that there are people on various tracks, we 
are all on ascension tracks, we are all in tracks, this is not a better than 
the other. The first track is the one is where the people are standing in light 
where the people are light bearers. Where people are light holders. The people 
who are in consciousness where they are standing there in the light and that is 
their main job. Being light holders. 
  
 Then you have the second track, which is people who are becoming activated by 
what they see as problems in the world and they are going to look for social 
justice solutions, constructs, and so they are activated, and then a third 
track of people asleep. The third track is people who are always up to 
technology, on their phones, who their reference is always the phone, IT, 
technology. 
  
 Light holders, social construct, and then the asleep who are willing and 
wanting to wed themselves to technology. 
  
 Matt Kahn is saying we all have our place in this, we are all in to this 
together. In his view this is going to become very clear in the next two years, 
unambiguous.  These Three general tracks is how people are going to be moving 
forward. He says there are people just waiting to have apps in their heads, for 
there to be apps, downloaded and become wedded to their technology, some kind 
of artificial intelligence.

 Q: The TM neuroscience people would be studying this if he had an apparatus to 
do it, the heart-mind?  
 A: “They do but they are brain-centric. 
  
 “..In this discussion of spirituality Matt Kahn has a good description, 
embedded in the discussion of the expression of spirituality he says, and this 
makes sense, that we are moving from a third dimensional reality to a 5th 
dimensional reality. The third dimensional reality is dominated by the mind and 
the fifth dimensional reality is dominated by the heart. 
  
 So you have the head and the heart, 3rd and 5th, and how to get there is 
through here, the connecting of the head and heart.  The connectivity is what 
Janet Sussman identifies as the ‘articulation’ between the two, the 
communication between the two where you are moving from the third dimension of 
the mind and its constructs to the non-linear value of the fifth.  It does make 
sense that we are moving from a third dimensional reality to a fifth. The third 
dimensional reality, it is that we are dominated by the mind. The fifth 
dimensional reality is dominated by the heart. How do you get between the  two? 
The fourth dimension is time. We are moving through that, the throat area , 
expression. The connectedness, the ‘articulation’, as Janet says it. 
  
 What you see in the advaitins and the TM people is that it is all about the 
brain,  the head and the mind. Some Buddhists too, some of the Buddhist 
practices are very head centered.  
  
 The The third eye is insight and the throat area, the 4th, is poetry, 
speaking, the expression between the two, the fourth dimension. The vehicle, 
this part, the fourth dimension is time. So you are moving from the concrete 
three dimensional world of the mind and its constructs to the non-linear value 
of the fifth.  So this is what you see in spiritual development, this makes so 
much sense. This is where the advaitins are, this is where the TM people are, 
in the head, the mind, all in the head. Brain, Brain, Brain. It is all in the 
head. Very head centric. Some of the Buddhist practices can be very head 
centric,
  
 You have to love this, I love this that there she was at SAND. Wow!   Thank 
god that someone is finally speaking to this. Maybe others have spoken to this 
at SAND.  Janet spoke there at SAND. But this woman she has all the 
credentials, the cred. Unfortunately Janet does not have the credentials like 
Cynthia has to be heard. A doctorate, a teacher professor at BU. It was 
gorgeous what Cyntha did there. Very profound.  She packed so much in to that 
half hour, it is kind of mind-blowing. It is worth listening to again. 
Valuable. 
  
 What Matt Kahn is talking about is what she would call the “heart-mind”, 
bringing the head in to the heart. It is the same thing. They are talking about 
the same thing. He was just talking about it in a more esoteric process where 
she was talking about it identifying it with this cultivation practice. These 
are ways of speaking to it. "

 Enloe Willingham 
 Friends

  

 ​Y​ou probably heard that Enloe

 ​ Willingham​

 passed last week. The following is a story that he told to four of us who were 
present in his hospital room about a month ago.
  
 Enloe was one of the 108s in the early 70s. One day Maharishi asked a group of 
108s: Who would be willing go to foreign countries using their own resources 
(not the Movement resources). Maharishi also said: you just have to go there, I 
will do the rest.
  
 Enloe went to Indonesia, a country he knew very little about at the time. On 
his way he was told by several people: be very careful, they don’t like 
foreigners in Indonesia, especially Indians.
  
 So Enloe decided that he would spend the first weeks in Indonesia just getting 
a feel of the country, not mentioning why he was there.
  
 One day he was in a shop. The shopkeeper’s three small children were there and 
Enloe asked the shopkeeper if he could take a picture of the children. She 
agreed, but said: come back on Sunday, they will be nicely dressed.
  
 When Enloe returned on Sunday, the shopkeeper asked: What are you doing in 
Indonesia?
  
 Enloe replied: Have you ever heard of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi?
  She replied: Yes, he initiated my whole family when my father was ambassador 
to Sweden.
  
 She introduced Enloe to her father, who then introduced him to the top people 
in the government, many of whom Enloe initiated.
  
 So Maharishi’s words came true: Enloe just had to go to Indonesia and 
Maharishi did the rest.
  
 Now Enloe has gone to another new location and we expect Maharishi has taken 
care of the rest there.

 Whoever has come, will certainly go; nobody stays here. 
 Always keep your bags packed. We never know when the call will come. The call 
of death is like an arrest warrant: there is no hope of further "appeal."72 
Then and there, one must drop everything and leave. Wherever, however, one must 
go. This need not be difficult if you are prepared from the beginning.  
 He who is always ready to go cannot commit sins. Sins are possible only when 
one forgets about the life hereafter. If one can always remember that he has to 
leave one day, then a man will never adopt lying and bad conduct.  
 Realizing that your fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers have not 
stayed, it is easy to understand that, "I, too, cannot stay here permanently." 
Since it is certain that you will leave, then those people who prepare for the 
journey at the outset can rest comfortably; and if you are not ready, then you 
will surely have difficulty. Take care: "don't do something that will make you 
repent when you go."

I wouldn't  mind shoveling cow manure either, but *I* personally would never 
descend to peddling the metaphorical kind for a living.

RE: [FairfieldLife] Re: The Importance of Group Meditation

[srijau]

you made statements here that very much called into question whether you really 
do the TM Sidhis as orignally taught when you are in group program ie " the sun 
moon and stars" comment
 you gratuitously insult the founders of the university . Yes the constitution 
guarantees free speech. Your speech also has consequences.

RE: [FairfieldLife] Re: The Importance of Group Meditation

[Rick Archer r...@searchsummit.com [FairfieldLife]]

I think I’d rather shovel cow manure for a living than spend my days spying on 
people through people’s social media, the Weekly Reader, Source, etc.

Note to spies: shoveling cow manure is great exercise and really quite 
enjoyable when you get into it. I used to do it at Livingston Manor. If 
interested, contact Radiance Dairy. They may have openings.

The Authorities?  Yes they read FFL and make files about people’s social media, 
the Weekly Reader, Source, and such on applicants.  It is their job to gather 
info on people in ferreting out people who are in violation of the membership 
guidelines by making inquiry in to lives.  Yes, with potentially long 
interrogation.

One of the things that was held up this last time I was denied a badge was 
about things I may have written on FFL, “about these things you write on 
Fairfield Life”. Yes, you could proly be in some trouble with the membership 
guidelines promoting other spiritual teachers and such by what and who you 
promote with BATGAP.



The existential problem they have with this is that as they have these written 
guidelines they have to have a staff hired to investigate and enforce them in 
detail over applicants.  The guidelines have been cobbled together, wordsmithed 
over the years either to exclude people and they have been reduced somewhat to 
include peoples who were separated from the group by guideline. The remaining 
exclusionary clauses now are mostly cultural and not simply as to whether 
someone is a practitioner or not. There are three written clauses remaining 
that still are in there that can stick in the craw of the larger meditating 
community.



The Authorities, I also do send in communication to movement policy makers the 
url’s to posts made on FFL as posts are pithy, incisive, pertinent and relevant 
in the context of having to do with policy. Fairfield Life has had its 
effective place in communications.  But, the people who investigate Dome 
membership applications do not make policy themselves, they just enforce it. 
The people who make decisions you likely will never meet in the process.



May the grace of the Unified Field grant providential support in Nature towards 
overcoming these long problems we all have suffered with our communal Dome 
meditation attendance numbers.  Jai Guru Dev

Batgap is a funny phenomena with regard to this issue. I promote other teachers 
up the wazoo, and probably wouldn’t be allowed in the dome if I wanted to be, 
but I’ve interviewed Hagelin and Pearson, and others who still go to the dome. 
A senior faculty member listens to just about every BatGap interview and we 
sometimes chat about them. He said he even discusses them with other faculty in 
his department sometimes.

Examples of adapting policy:



The ‘Adhesion Contract’..

Back in 2012 I incited getting the ridiculous 4 pages ‘course agreement’ down 
more essentially to two pages of text.

All that is needed to run a residence course or group meditation is the ability 
to remove disruptive people. The 'course agreement' as it was written by 
apparatchiks trying to be ‘legal’ with everything in their minds and all their 
concerns including the kitchen sink thrown in, their course agreement was 
trying to catch, coerce or punish people to line on all kinds of creed stuff 
otherwise unrelated to being on a course, assembly or in a

than we’re lead to believe, and that the Moon may play an instrumental role in 
holding us in states where violence and aggression are normal… and the 
negativity which disempowers us, empowers something else. Would you take the
