Re: [FairfieldLife] FF Meditating Community Meeting
Community Forum Wednesday December 13th, 7:30 pm – all invited Super-Radiance – What Will It Take? To Bring Us Together, To Rebuild Common Purpose To Restore Group Program Attendance Phoenix Rising Hall, 207 W Burlington In this meeting we’ll examine our own desires, both for ourselves and our world, to re-establish a more powerful influence of coherence in collective consciousness from our Golden Domes and other group program facilities. · Are we inspired? Do we feel empowered? Does each one of us feel we are Maharishi’s movement? · How shall we ensure that each one of us feels valued and honored in what we do to fulfill Maharishi’s goals for the world? · How shall we all communicate effectively, so that concerns and ideas are heard, are acknowledged with respect and kindness, and are given prompt and appropriate attention? · What more can we do to raise group practice attendance? · How shall we do justice to the gift Maharishi has bestowed on us? How shall we pass that gift to all corners of our world? Please join together to share our vision and to plan community action – with love, creative intelligence and enthusiasm. As always, we’ll have an open mic so all may speak. Also – next month, in commemoration of our annual January celebration, we’ll have a special meeting for members of our community to share with all of us our own stories of how we met Maharishi, or how the knowledge he gave us first touched us.

[FairfieldLife] RE: Fairfield, Iowa and How the Meditating Community Works
Fresh (late 2017) overview of TM Movement's current status.. Posted interview, Raja Chancellor gives an insightful and inspiring overview of the Movement's current status: https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=cUBFqTk2Ncg https://youtu.be/cUBFqTk2Ncg https://youtu.be/cUBFqTk2Ncg 62 minutes https://youtu.be/cUBFqTk2Ncg Flowchart shown below.. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : The Super-Radiance Community paragraphs at the bottom of the memo are important ones that are now actively adding meditators in to policy description of the broader Fairfield, Vedic City and Jefferson County meditation community. As a change in course this particularly is a substantial one to notice. That is new and a new welcome thought. While the larger attempt at transparency is a frank signature element of the change; however, the definition of the Fairfield meditating community away from just the TM-sidha/yogic flying TSR Dome-going community to include [TM] meditators of the community as the Super-Radiance Community is the substantial change. Loaded down old super-tankers don't change course quickly. This is an attempt at a major change of direction even in Fairfield where there are so many old meditators of the TM movement and most who live as meditators in the meditating community without much of any relationship to the organization. I wish the corporate TM organization all good shipping through the chop of the narrows they are sailing through. -Buck in the Dome Pablum? No, actually this memo is a major and conscious policy change. Most you don't live in Fairfield or have nothing to do with meditating Fairfield. Possibly you are or were once practicing meditators. This particular memo as sent out is actually a really important change of direction. By policy initiative it is an attempt to organizationally soften, facilitate, re-gather and include meditators again by policy in to the interests of the TM movement. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi for whatever reason left to founder the meditators and the meditating movement un-attended from late in the 1970's shifting his attention on programs for advanced meditators around yogic flying and the TM-Sidhis and monumental projects for creating Heaven on Earth. So it was and so it is; and, the meditating element of the movement crescendo-ed from those days and times of higher point. Now as part of a practical process of succession planning the re-inclusion of 'the meditator' is back in to a definition of our corporate communal policy as essential formative element. This is a huge strategic change in direction being brought about by some savvy old [retirement-aged] field teachers of TM as recognized necessity. The TM-teaching movement is once again being generally successful and this policy move is timely and strategically helpful towards unifying and supporting that larger regeneration of a meditating movement otherwise. It is a purposeful organizational realignment of priority and also significant to what is communal meditating and non-meditating Fairfield. -Buck in the Dome Rick Archer posts: Raja John Hagelin wrote: February 26, 2014 Dear Sidhas and Meditators of Fairfield, Maharishi Vedic City, and Jefferson County, Over the last couple of years we have been making some structural changes and, we hope, significant improvements in how our Super-Radiance community functions. It is all for the purpose of giving you a better experience of living here and doing program in our flying halls—deeper programs, more fun, more friendliness, better service, more transparency, inclusiveness, due process, and community spirit. I’d like to lay out for you how our Super-Radiance community is organized these days. I’ve also included a couple of organizational charts below so you can see how everything fits together. The Invincible America Assembly The Invincible America Assembly consists of every Sidha who has a dome badge and attends group program. You don’t need to be rounding to be on the Invincible America Assembly—although rounding is an extraordinary experience in our special dome atmosphere. The Invincible America Solutions Group The Invincible America Solutions Group, which we established in 2011, is the umbrella committee which brings together all the committees and groups involved in supporting our Super-Radiance community and the Invincible America Assembly. As Raja, I preside at its meetings, and Dr. Dennis Rowe, our National Director of Education, is its chair. Dr. Doug Birx, our treasured TM-Sidhi® Program Administrator, is always present. The Solutions Group grew out of our realization that although there were a number of committees active, to provide better levels of service and faster expansion, we needed to have one coordinating body. The organization chart below shows all the groups that make it up. (Click on the chart to view it full-size.) http://communications.tm.org/2014/
[FairfieldLife] Very significant meeting benefits
Forwarded from: Einar Olsen mailto:fountains...@gmail.com>> All, In response to a fairly successful and knowledgeable person questioning the value of the meeting with the Deputy Atty General today, here are the very good benefits I could think of that came from today's meeting: Thank you so much for coming if you came - Hi, Janet forwarded this to me, I work with and help FFSM sometimes, a) It was and is very important and good that the Deputy Atty General of Iowa and their Consumer Fraud expert saw a large crowd who felt strongly about this matter. This, added to the the activities of other groups around the country that they will learn about if they do even a little homework, will help them become informed and influence others. They talk. They know people. Their attention is NOT a waste of time because of conversations they may have with very influential people, soon, and in the future. Plus, there is the quantum mechanical effect, that increase in knowledge and awareness 'here' influences attitude and decisions 'there.' Especially if vip's are involved. So getting the word out to vip's is usually worthwhile, and if 'the word' involves a lot of Sidhas who feel strongly, that 'word' is far stronger, more penetrating into the collective consciousness via VIPs awareness. Before this meeting, those two vips had not the faintest idea of what this issue is about. They are somewhat influential in this state. For them to find this into out, and to see all the people, was enough to make this meeting alone worthwhile. The Deputy Atty General of this state even said, 'If Alliant knows that harm can be caused by this technology, and is rolling it out anyway, that is crime.' That statement alone from the Deputy Atty General of Iowa was wroth the meeting. But there was much more to feel good about, as follows - b) There is a lot that needs to be clarified, wrong things that Alliant has done, that Ed did not discuss because there is no excuse for Alliant. Why didn't he mention them? , this meeting was earthshaking and created a completely different path and hope for us. Because before this meeting, and if that meeting had not taken place, Ed had told us firmly and repeatedly that he was not going to try to get Alliant to offer us analogs. Due to the turn out, and due to the high quality of what you said, this meeting changed Ed's mind. Because our turn out was so many, and so strong in views and plans, he realized that he shouldchange his policy and instead, try to get Alliant to offer us analogs. I mentioned court to him and it was clear he strongly wants to avoid a court case/s with Alliant. So this meeting, especially the turn-out, was of very great importance in moving Ed's plans from not trying to get analogs for us, to try to get analogs for us. This was by far the most important meeting result that has come from any meeting about smart meters thus far. A big, substantial change in the whole many-month project. Ed had stopped going to bat for us, and decided to reverse and go to bat for us. This alone was worth the whole meeting and the time of all who came. c) We had no idea what the Atty General Office was going to say or do, there was no easy way for us to know, and is it fair to take us to task for this? As it turned out, it turned out to be an especially keydecision to do as much as we could to encourage as many people as possible to attend. d) This was by far, imho, the best succinct presentation on why to avoid smart meters that has taken place in our community. I felt the previous two events could have been far stronger, especially in the science, and a more balanced presentation of all the many reasons to avoid smart meters - not just the health reason. Although much more could and should be done with communicating the many other reasons. In fact, in other areas of the country, people have gotten much more traction with other reasons than with the health reason - especially the privacy point. In Michigan, the most traction has been through Republican legislators concerned about privacy. Not that health does not matter but we have to hit all the issues and 'do what works.' Partisanship is not the point. e) It was a great rallying meeting that significantly increased togetherness and coherence for this project. For everyone to see all the others concerned, which is easy to forget about otherwise. And numbers are HIGHLY important in this matter. Political people are highly influenced by this, not just arguments on both sides. Most politicians nowadays seem to care more about numbers and passion than arguments and science (May that balance out). f) KTVO TV from Ottumwa/Kirksville came, filmed the event and interviews, and is going to show them all over the region. This alone was worth the meeting. Tens (hundreds?) of thousands of people all over our area are going to have t

[FairfieldLife] Meditator Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution
FW: Fighting for 'Rights of Conscience'. You should see the e-mail chains now in their complexion for this next week's 'Community Forum' at the meeting hall of Phoenix Rising on 'Super Radiance' and the Dome numbers. I could wonder if we could start a regular coffee table at Paradiso Cafe in morning or Revelations and lunch for Meditator Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution for Independence. An 'Om', for genealogy. Same essential issues then as now: rights of conscience. Turns out the fight inside TM is with the colonialism of the TM movement as it is in the movement now. Creedal-ist religionists, "If Maharishi said it, it can't be changed." who occupy and control the movement and then American practitioners, meditators. and initiators and govs and citizens who have no say at that level, and Hagelin too as Raja of America too has hardly any, at sway and representation at the top 'colonial' level of trustees of the movement, over in Europe. ( ! ) I used to describe to people outside the community that it is run as corporate-democracy at the top now. Colonialism is the better more accurate model for description. Jai Guru Dev,
