But after he is no longer in physical embodiment it will be hard for Mr. Raja Wynne to keep the millionaires funding the project. Look for a decline of interest by the summer of 2008. If the TMO wants to move in the direction of relaxing their guidelines then the organization would expand. The fact is SSRS had 2.5 million people in India last year. Many of them who left MMY. I don't see the TMO changing after MMY passes and the guidelines will get even more conservative as Bevan Morris takes over. God help us. Lsoma. ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Anyway; my point is that there will be no MUM/MIU in Fairfield or IOWA in the future. For a short while after the univerity has moved out there will be an influx of hippies and anarchists who are looking for a party. But since the coherence is gone the party will go wrong. In the end the fairfielders will go back to tending to what they enjoy; raising pigs for example.

Wednesday Night Satsang - Every Wednesday starting at 8pm Central Time. Kirkwood Apartments just east of Sidha Insurance near 4th and Kirkwood. First apartment on the right, up the stairs. The mechanics of what happens in the Wednesday Night Satsang is as follows. With anywhere from a dozen or more awake people in the room there begins a sharing of how the wholeness of the awakening has or is being experienced/lived by one or more awake people. This sharing stirs the wholeness into activity. Those in the room feel it in a palpable way. The sharing of the experience of how it is gives everyone in the room direct and complete understanding of what this wholeness is. Any one who is in the room then has the direct physical experience of wholeness and the intellectual understanding of how and why wholeness is lived.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Spiritual Practice Groups of FF, A Directory
I am *very* happy with the way Fairfield has been evolving; it feels more and more free, spontaneous, conscious and loving -- as if large numbers of people are freeing themselves of the fear-filled belief that they must pretend to be someone they are not in order to realize the Self. If their further growth entails exploring other avenues of spiritual inquiry, great! The more the merrier. Fairfield is indeed enriched by all the new currents of spirituality here. I have nothing but gratitude for the TMO however; they are doing their thing, and it's a very good thing indeed for those who wish to avail themselves of it. My post was only intended to point out the irony that Nablusos is apparently advocating the continued monopoly of an exclusive club that he himself would not be allowed to join :-) *L*L*L* --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a message dated 7/1/2007 4:20:17 P.M.
