Well, I happen to appreciate Maharishi's great gift of the ability to Vedicize 
anything into being far more profound than it actually is. For example, I just 
enjoyed a nice 45 minute sweat in the far infrared sauna. But, the sauna is in 
a vastu house, so it's actually a Thermo-Vedic Purifier.

 Some of you folk in Fairfield are indeed making progress in helping those who 
need help with mental and emotional problems, this ass is not one of them. I 
hope he gets shut down in a time soon to come.

 Dear Committee Members;
The focus of the next working meeting will be on implementation of the stage 
plans of the various subgroups. [currently 11.11.2014] We are now at the point 
of developing an implementation of each of the goals. Come join us. We want you 
to join us.

This is being sent this out to all so you know what the Shifting Cultural 
Attitudes Subcommittee is working on. This 'Cultural Group' is working through 
a process of creating a Strategic Plan so we can take all the wonderful ideas 
we have been banging around and create an actionable plan out of them. Find 
attached an explanation of writing SMART goals and a template for the team 
leader to fill out for the goals your group were working on during Tuesday 
night's meeting. When the team leader has entered the information into the 
actionable plan template, please forward to Ken Daley for inclusion in the 
Strategic Plan.
 
 
 At previous Alliance working meetings two working subgroups formed and met — 
the “MUM/MSAE” group and the “Outreach and Education” group. Those two groups 
met again last week. Thank you to everyone in those groups for stepping up and 
contributing in this way. Please contact your group liaison to check on if you 
are meeting this coming week, and on what work needs to be done between the 
sessions.

Vedic psychiatry huh? I guess it would have to be vedic but I don't see why 
they persist with it. If you read Marshy's book The Science of Being... you'll 
know that TM is the solution to psychiatry and psychology because they work at 
a shallow level of the brain whereas TM works from the unified field and 
automatically releases the deep stresses that cause mental imbalance. 

 I guess it's a good start that they've admitted that's all wrong. All you have 
to do is keep questioning the answers. One day someone will realise that 
yagya's, for instance, don't work either and that'll get questioned. Eventually 
the TMO will be a properly science based organisation but that won't happen 
without difficult questions being asked about all claimed technologies so 
don't let then brush you off with the idea that it has to be vedic to be any 
sort of solution because it doesn't. If it all worked as advertised in the 
first place we wouldn't be having this conversation.

 

 But it's good the first question has been asked as it can only lead to better 
awareness of what TM is and what it isn't. A journey of a thousand miles starts 
with a single step...

I was observing what they've done without them realising - or admitting - it. 
 

 That's the way cognitive dissonance works, they claim to have the cure for all 
mental health problems and when people continue to have them they'll forget 
they claimed to have the cure at all and invent a new method that is based on 
the same principles. The  gaps between the old and new knowledge will get 
subconsciously papered over. Until the new method is found not to work based as 
it is on erroneous principles, but maybe the other systems mentioned in the 
leaflet are more effective and will take precedence and the vedic bit it is 
just a bit of face saving.
 

 My dream of a TM reformation is a little joke. It could work if they kept 
asking questions but I doubt anyone will encourage questioning the major cash 
cows like the yagya programme. Keeping everyone sane is probably quite 
important though as it's a bit more tangible.

 Towards Actionable Plans..
 

 
 
 Dear Committee Members;
The focus of the next working meeting will be on implementation of the stage 
plans of the various subgroups. [currently 11.11.2014] We are now at the point 
of developing an implementation of each of the goals. Come join us. We want you 
to join us.

This is being sent this out to all so you know what the Shifting Cultural 
Attitudes Subcommittee is working on. This 'Cultural Group' is working through 
a process of creating a Strategic Plan so we can take all the wonderful ideas 
we have been banging around and create an actionable plan out of them. Find 
attached an explanation of writing SMART goals and a template for the team 
leader to fill out for the goals your group were working on during Tuesday 
night's meeting. When the team leader has entered the information into the 
actionable plan template, please forward to Ken Daley for inclusion in the 
Strategic Plan.
 
 
 At previous Alliance working meetings two working subgroups formed and met — 
the “MUM/MSAE” group and the “Outreach and Education” group. Those two groups 
met again last week. Thank you to everyone in those groups for stepping up and 
contributing in this way. Please contact your group liaison to check on if you 
are meeting this coming week, and on what work needs to be done between the 
sessions.
