[FairfieldLife] You are invited to a revival of the renowned weekly Fairfield satsang - Thursday nights
SATSANG - ASKING THE ULTIMATE QUESTION: WHO AM I? • Every Thursday evening • 7:30-9:00pm • no charge • Held at the home of John Louros, 1107 Liberty Dr., Fairfield IA 52556 • Open to anyone sincerely interested in exploring Truth and your relationship to it - no matter what your level of experience. WHAT IS SATSANG? Satsang means "to sit with the Truth". This satsang is based on the ancient method called Atma Vichara (Inquiry into the Self). This is not a process of intellectual analysis or mere understanding, but an opportunity for DIRECT INTIMATE REALIZATION of who you really are - behind the body, behind the mind, behind the intellect and feelings, behind even the sense of individual identity (ego). In reality you are That - awareness itself, consciousness itself, infinite eternal presence, the "peace that passeth all understanding", the silent witness of all that was, is, and will be, absolute-consciousness-bliss. We've found that many people in this community - having been doing spiritual practice for decades - are there, are at the 'goal', are awake. BUT their understanding has not kept pace with their experience. This satsang offers an opportunity for understanding to catch up with experience, and for one to awaken to what already IS, what already has been accomplished. That awakening can be rapid, profound, and life-transforming. It brings true peace - an end to the search. It is finally "coming back home". It is not speech which we should want to know: we should know the speaker. It is not things seen which we should want to know: we should know the seer. It is not sounds which we should want to know: we should know the hearer. It is not mind which we should want to know; we should know the thinker. - Kaushitaki Upanishad 3.8 YOUR INVITATION Bring your experiences, bring your spiritual practices, bring your questions and beliefs and stories, bring your intellectual interpretations, bring everything you've heard or read or think you've been taught - bring all your baggage - and lay them at the feet of Truth. For just a moment STOP - be simple, be "naked", be still, let go of everything and see what really IS. Approach your experience (or anyone else's) in complete simplicity and innocence and see what is really there. Explore these questions: Who am I? What is enlightenment - really? Am I "there" yet? If not, what still stands in my way? What unconscious beliefs about enlightenment are causing me to doubt my experience? What spiritual experience do I believe must happen to me for awakening to become permanent? How do I stop falling for "the top 10 reasons I'm not enlightened". This satsang has been happening - on and off - for 20 years, and has been attended by hundreds of people over that time. Please come join us. WHAT HAPPENS We'll mix a little spiritual talking and story-telling with lots of opportunities for anyone to interact with other members of the satsang, to examine one's here-and-now experiences, and to perhaps have a direct, personal "aha!" This method is extremely powerful and can be very blissful - it reveals the deepest, simplest Truth of who/what one really is. You are welcome to actively interact, or simply watch and listen. Nothing will be said at this satsang which contradicts your present vedic path or practices. No new spiritual path or meditative practice will be promoted or taught. This satsang is simply to take a look at your progress on your path. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This satsang is offered in the spirit of, and with deepest gratitude to, Gangaji, Papaji, Ramana Maharshi, Nisargadata Maharaj, Ramesh Balzekar, Andy Rymer, Sai Baba, and especially His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and the Holy Tradition.

[FairfieldLife] You Are Invited to See Michael Moore's Movie Sicko for FREE!
Michael Moore is interviewed and discusses his concern for US copyright laws while encouraging people around the world to view any of his movies, including his latest film, Sicko, addressing the socio-economic predation perpetrated by the avariciously cannibalistic medical industry, both in the US and around the world. His greatest concern is getting the message out, by any means, including your sharing his work with others. Your sickness, your disease exits, in service to our coffers, our vanities, our greed, conceit and avarice, therefore you shall continue with your disease. We will -- at most -- assist you in managing your diseases, in the interests of our continued revenues, of course, dismissing any cures in your case, so we can maintain our escalatingly spiraling consumptionism thanks to your comlicity as our lab rats. ~ Your Medical Professional ~ Watch Michael Moore's Sicko FREE!http://WatchMooresSickoFREE.web-freebies.com/ http://WatchMooresSickoFREE.web-freebies.com/ Learn more here: http://UniversalHealthCareProCon.andmuchmore.com/ Human society is at a vital new juncture, the decrepit skeleton of things tried and proven false is rapidly being rent asunder. Today we are on the precipice of a glorious new dawn in human evolution. Embrace this crimson dawn of the glorious new day.
[FairfieldLife] You Are Invited
Title: You Are Invited Note from Steve Cooperman At our last meeting, we shared memorable experiences of community, and it generated a lot of energy and discussion about what we could do to create more of these kinds of experiences in our community. I offered to do an experiential introduction to Appreciative Inquiry (AI), a transformational process that could be used for this purpose. AI has been used by communities and organizations to create positive change; it connects people across a system by creating conversations about the best of what is and has been, and spreading that around to create more what is valued and desired. I have personally co-led the process in communities, schools, businesses, and government. We need a minimum of eight people (no max, although I'd like to have an even number of people that can be divided into groups of six and/or eight). Steve Cooperman We will be arranging a time other than Thursday evening for this Appreciative Inquiry process. If you would like to participate, please e-mail us. Notice about Our On-Going Thursday Evening Community Meeting Dear Friend, We have a sincere desire to be part of a sustainable and co-operative community here in Fairfield. We believe that to fulfill this desire this we need to engage in a process of building deeper and more functional relationships with one another, and have an open mind and open heart towards change. Our intention is to facilitate and participate in processes that have shown to be effective in helping communities come together and work together towards a common vision. These processes include Building a Safe Container, Making Agreements, Learning the Many Levels of Accountability and Integrity, Creating Trust, Understanding Projections, Clarity in Communication, and Discovering Purpose. Join Us on Thursday Evenings, 7:00 p.m., Morningstar Studio Lounge If you resonate with our desire for building a deeper, more sustainable community, we invite you to join us on Thursday evenings. Bringing an open mind and heart is all we ask.
