One would think that when it comes to *either* Sai Baba or Maharishi no explanation of the Moolah Mantra is required: Send us more moolah, oh God. Lots and lots and lots of moolah. That will protect us and give us freedom from sorrow and suffering. Fuck those who 'donate' the moolah. All that matters is that we get it. Sorry, but the fact that some people still revere that child-molesting, bad-magician charlatan Sathya Sai Baba blows my mind even more than the fact that some still revere Maharishi.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Heaven on Earth
With Heaven on Earth, every nation will spontaneously radiate a nourishing influence to neighboring nations, and the whole family of nations will naturally enjoy harmony and real freedom. With Heaven on Earth, INVINCIBILITY will be the national characteristic of every nation, victory before war will be enjoyed by every nation. With reference to DEFENSE, Heaven on Earth will be characterized by victory before war -in the lack of the need to prepare for defense- because everything and everyone will be on the path of evolution, and as a result, coherence in every country will be so strong that invincibility will be a natural feature of national life. No negativity will arise and no enemy will be born for any nation. Heaven on Earth on the COLLECTIVE level will be characterized by indomitable positivity, harmony, and peace on all levels of collective life -family, community, nation, and the world. Heaven on Earth will also be characterized by perfection in all areas of the life of the individual and society. Heaven on Earth on the INDIVIDUAL level will be characterized by perfect health, long life in bliss, the ability to effortlessly fulfill one's desires, and live always in a beautiful, ever fresh, and nourishing environment. Considering all the innumerable values of life and living, Heaven on Earth will be characterized by all good everywhere and non-good nowhere beautiful sunshine of the Age of Enlightenment for everyone always and everywhere. With reference to LIVING, Heaven on Earth will be characterized by self-sufficiency in the ability to know anything, do anything, and accomplish anything. With reference to LIFE, Heaven on Earth is characterized by perfection, complete balance and integration. Fulfillment will prevail on all levels of life and living -spiritual, intellectual, physical, material, environment, and cosmic. Heaven on Earth may be defined as the supreme quality of life everywhere in this beautiful world when weakness and suffering is not found anywhere, and everyone in the world enjoys real freedom in bliss and fulfillment. This Heaven on Earth is now going to be real for everyone and every nation. Heaven on Earth has been the most laudable aspiration of the wise throughout the ages. Creation of Heaven on Earth is the most desirable project in the entire history of the human race. Everyone can now enjoy Heaven on Earth through perfect alliance with Natural Law, through the enlivenment of the total potential of Natural Law in one's own consciousness.

In his workshop music man Edwin Coppard from Victoria teaches that since cave days, women fight dirty. And do you believe that/him? Sounds like a funny sort of man's (n this case the man being Mr Coppard) viewpoint. How about looking at it that because women are, generally speaking, less physically strong than men they have to rely on their wits more and of course this would apply mostly to days gone by when physical threat was more common in daily life. To hide one's young from a predator would involve elements of foresight, the ability to be spontaneous and creative to find ways of escaping the jaws of some hungry mountain lion as well as a huge degree of courage. To use a term to lump all of these characteristics into one descriptive word like dirty is patently ridiculous and shortsighted, even underhanded. Talk about 'fighting dirty'. Just another person putting a negative spin on what could be otherwise construed as positive in the opposite sex.  We had to have strategies and abilities to protect the young because we were the last line of defense when the men of the tribe were off hunting or warring. We would have been the FIRST and far from inferior line of defense since the men were gone and might have been the first line even if they had been present. Edwin still has a bit of a Cockney accent and he used much more colorful language which I will leave to everyone's imagination. If only to spare Buck who makes me smile just about every single day (-:  Yessiree, that Buck certainly makes me shake my head in wonder, every day.

This is what Benjamin Creme has to say about Sai Baba: The relation of Sai Baba to the Christ: The Christ is a planetary avatar, Sai Baba is a cosmic avatar. He is a Spiritual Regent, sent into the world by the Lord of the World, Sanat Kumara, on Shamballa. A regent stands in for the king. Similarly, a Spiritual Regent stands in for God, for the Logos, Whose reflection Sanat Kumara is. Sai Baba embodies the energy of Love at a cosmic level (the Christ embodies this energy at the planetary level) and his work, in part, is to prepare humanity for the work of the Christ. By awakening the love principle in humanity, Sai Baba will prepare people for the Initiatory work of the Christ. As the Hierophant, the Initiator, at the first two planetary initiations, the Christ will lead humanity gradually out of the strictly human kingdom into the Hierarchy, the Kingdom of Souls, or the Kingdom of God. That is his major work in the coming age of Aquarius. These two Great Ones work together in daily contact, complete harmony and shared purpose in the evolution of mankind.

Transforming Lives From Within Benefit Gala Dinner, David Lynch Foundation UK Posted on December 1, 2012 http://julieeagleton.wordpress.com/2012/12/01/transforming-lives-from-w\ ithin-benefit-gala-dinner-david-lynch-foundation-uk/ by julieeagleton http://julieeagleton.wordpress.com/author/julieeagleton/ Last week I was delighted to attend the Transforming Lives From Within benefit gala dinner; the first of its kind for the David Lynch Foundation UK http://www.davidlynchfoundation.org.uk/ at the Underglobe, a quite magical space under Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. [IMG_0507[1][2]] http://julieeagleton.wordpress.com/2012/12/01/transforming-lives-from-w\ ithin-benefit-gala-dinner-david-lynch-foundation-uk/img_050712/ The David Lynch Foundation for Consciousness-Based Education and World Peace was first set up by Lynch in the USA in 2005, and in 2012 the foundation was established here in the UK. Its aim is to ensure that any child who wants to learn and practise the Transcendental Meditation programme can do so. TM is the most thoroughly researched and widely practiced programme in the world for developing the full creative potential of the brain and mind, improving health, reducing stress, and improving academic outcomes. The DLF UK also works with stressed teachers, the homeless, prisoners and the many thousands of war veterans suffering from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Award-winning director, writer and producer, David Lynch, has been diving within through the Transcendental Meditation technique for over 30 years. I became interested in meditation because I heard a phrase: True happiness is not out there. True happiness lies within. And this phrase had a ring of truth to me, but the phrase doesn't tell you where the within is, nor how to get there. One day it hit me that meditation would be the way to go within. The gala dinner brought together meditators and non-meditators, artists, musicians, writers, war veterans and professionals from all walks of life with a collective aim: to support this incredibly worthy cause. James McCartney and his band provided a memorable set. In 2009 James made his first public musical debut at a David Lynch Foundation benefit in Iowa. I'm delighted to have been invited to perform again at another one of the foundation's events. The significance this time round is that it's in my home town of London. I wish everyone involved continued success in spreading the good work of the foundation and the power of Transcendental Mediation health and happiness to all. [IMG_2660] http://julieeagleton.wordpress.com/2012/12/01/transforming-lives-from-w\ ithin-benefit-gala-dinner-david-lynch-foundation-uk/img_2660/ David Lynch joined the gala via live video link, and presented Tim Burgess of The Charlatans with a DLF Peace Award for his innovative fundraising for the charity. Tim has created music for the Transcendental Music Label as well as his own Kellogg's cereal brand, and most recently, his own brand of delicious coffee: Tim Peaks http://www.timpeaks.co.uk/ .

A wonderful live auction of art including seven very special pieces generously donated by David Lynch kicked off the fundraising, presided over by consummate auctioneer, Jamie Breese. The fundraising will continue at silent online auctions, with exciting opportunities to bid for celebrity and fashion experiences at Charity Buzz http://www.charitybuzz.com/ . The online auctions begin on 1 December. I have been diving within now for almost two years now, and I can honestly say, learning TM has been one of the best things I have ever done. Please visit my previous blog here http://julieeagleton.wordpress.com/2011/10/14/transcendental-meditation\ / to find out why.

This is what Benjamin Creme has to say about Sai Baba: The relation of Sai Baba to the Christ: The Christ is a planetary avatar, Sai Baba is a cosmic avatar. He is a Spiritual Regent, sent into the world by the Lord of the World, Sanat Kumara, on Shamballa. A regent stands in for the king. Similarly, a Spiritual Regent stands in for God, for the Logos, Whose reflection Sanat Kumara is. Sai Baba embodies the energy of Love at a cosmic level (the Christ embodies this energy at the planetary level) and his work, in part, is to prepare humanity for the work of the Christ. By awakening the love principle in humanity, Sai Baba will prepare people for the Initiatory work of the Christ. As the Hierophant, the Initiator, at the first two planetary initiations, the Christ will lead humanity gradually out of the strictly human kingdom into the Hierarchy, the Kingdom of Souls, or the Kingdom of God. That is his major work in the coming age of Aquarius. These two Great Ones work together in daily contact, complete harmony and shared purpose in the evolution of mankind.

That's the advantage to having been around these here parts longer, Pardner. In my case, they've already used up all the scurrilous accusations they can think of. :-) Seriously, I think that the Sathya Sai Baba thang is an Indian National Scandal, and should be treated as such. The evidence of his child-molesting ways is strong enough to have resulted in prosecutions in most countries of the world, and the video evidence of him palming the miraculous items he claimed to produce from the ether is all over YouTube. But in India he was, and his memory still is, protected from on high by former followers, in the highest offices of the land. They take advantage of archaic laws that make it actually *illegal* to say bad things about a supposed holy man. They also use the power of their enormous holdings to hire the best lawyers and PIs to intimidate and sue anyone who dares to speak against him in public. These forces kept any serious court cases from being filed against him during his lifetime. What amazes me -- and I think you'll identify with this from your TM experience -- is how you can present all of the evidence of his wrongdoings to devout Sai Baba freaks, and they find ways to either ignore it, treat it as lies, or find some way to excuse it. No, when the parents walked in and found him fondling the genitals of their child, Sai Baba was just using his holy shakti to increase the child's kundalini. Yeah, right. I'm waiting to see how long it takes before someone trots out that explanation for the charges against Mia Farrow's only-distantly-related-to-TM brother. Spiritual teachers should be held to *higher* standards than anyone else. That's what they SELL, after all -- higher standards. They tell us that they've got the teachings or techniques to make ourselves better than the average Joe. They sell higher states of consciousness that promise greater-than-human abilities and perceptions and abilities to do the right thing in all situations. When they say this shit and then get off by fondling children's genitals, I say they should be dealt with the same way your Uncle Charlie would be if he did it. Only the punishment should be more severe for the person who claimed he was above such things, and made a fortune from claiming it. There. *Now* let's see if they've used up all of their scurrilous accusations. :-) From: turquoiseb no_re...@yahoogroups.com To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, December 6, 2012 3:24 AM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: The Meaning of the Moola Mantra  --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, martin.quickman martin.quickman@ wrote: This mantra evokes the living God, asking protection and freedom from all sorrow and suffering. http://sathyasaimemories.wordpress.com/2009/11/20/moola-mantra-the-meaning-of-filed-under-favourite-sai-memory/ Duh.

How about looking at it that because women are, generally speaking, less physically strong than men they have to rely on their wits more and of course this would apply mostly to days gone by when physical threat was more common in daily life. To hide one's young from a predator would involve elements of foresight, the ability to be spontaneous and creative to find ways of escaping the jaws of some hungry mountain lion as well as a huge degree of courage. To use a term to lump all of these characteristics into one descriptive word like dirty is patently ridiculous and shortsighted, even underhanded. Talk about 'fighting dirty'. Just another person putting a negative spin on what could be otherwise construed as positive in the opposite sex. àWe had to have strategies and abilities to protect the young because we were the last line of defense when the men of the tribe were off hunting or warring. We would have been the FIRST and far from inferior line of defense since the men were gone and might have been the first line even if they had been present. Edwin still has a bit of a Cockney accent and he used much more colorful language which I will leave to everyone's imagination.àIf only to spare Buck who makes me smile just about every single day (-:ààYessiree, that Buck certainly makes me shake my head in wonder, every day. Can you imagine if he was our first line of defense against some marauder? Now ladies, relax, just close your eyes for 20 minutes and all will be fine. If you find yourself dead in the next 20 seconds it's because there just weren't enough of us meditating right now. Now shoo, you nasty cougar.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: The Meaning of the Moola Mantra
Bbbut, Barry! Benjy Creme says he's a real sho 'nuff saint!!! I know what you mean - you find the same thing in New Age-y stuff - even tho I spent a long time doing it I have gotten increasingly skeptical about all the Ascended Master stuff - all the things that Bob Fickes and Joshua Stone and all the other people are coming up with is like a Marvel Comic or rather the entire Marvel Universe. One of the best examples was an old fraud by the name of Guy Ballard who claimed to have a personal relationship with the Master St Germain. There are so many holes in his narrative books the Unveiled Mystery series that its easy to see he was a fraud, but even today the members of and believers in the St. Germain Society and the I AM Activity will go ballistic if you say so. Ballard and his wife who some say actually wrote the books and was the power behind Guy had their heyday during the Depression. Ballard promised them eternal youth, a bodily ascension into heaven, wealth, romance with one's soul mate. He accepted donations from his followers, wanted them to only hang out with other students, made them give up many things... but did not deliver on his promises. Sound familiar? When people don't know who they are within, they will gravitate towards people who seem to have it all - ignoring or not seeing that they do have it all and they got it from their followers.

That's the advantage to having been around these here parts longer, Pardner. In my case, they've already used up all the scurrilous accusations they can think of. :-) Seriously, I think that the Sathya Sai Baba thang is an Indian National Scandal, and should be treated as such. The evidence of his child-molesting ways is strong enough to have resulted in prosecutions in most countries of the world, and the video evidence of him palming the miraculous items he claimed to produce from the ether is all over YouTube. But in India he was, and his memory still is, protected from on high by former followers, in the highest offices of the land. They take advantage of archaic laws that make it actually *illegal* to say bad things about a supposed holy man. They also use the power of their enormous holdings to hire the best lawyers and PIs to intimidate and sue anyone who dares to speak against him in public. These forces kept any serious court cases from being filed against him during his lifetime. What amazes me -- and I think you'll identify with this from your TM experience -- is how you can present all of the evidence of his wrongdoings to devout Sai Baba freaks, and they find ways to either ignore it, treat it as lies, or find some way to excuse it. No, when the parents walked in and found him fondling the genitals of their child, Sai Baba was just using his holy shakti to increase the child's kundalini. Yeah, right. I'm waiting to see how long it takes before someone trots out that explanation for the charges against Mia Farrow's only-distantly-related-to-TM brother. Spiritual teachers should be held to *higher* standards than anyone else. That's what they SELL, after all -- higher standards. They tell us that they've got the teachings or techniques to make ourselves better than the average Joe. They sell higher states of consciousness that promise greater-than-human abilities and perceptions and abilities to do the right thing in all situations. When they say this shit and then get off by fondling children's genitals, I say they should be dealt with the same way your Uncle Charlie would be if he did it. Only the punishment should be more severe for the person who claimed he was above such things, and made a fortune from claiming it.

[FairfieldLife] Too Funny
I just got this from an old friend who graduated from MIU when it was still MIU. I remember one time Sam Boothby was teaching an education class where he was showing a Maharishi video. In this video Maharishi said an enlightened man never mistakes. Earlier in the tape he was calling Dr. Michael Wineless, Wineberg. I asked Sam if Maharishi made a mistake. He yelled back at me and the whole class: We must never say Maharishi makes mistakes! We can't say from our unenlightened viewpoint! Then I said: If I can't judge from my unelightened stress-cluttered nervous system, then how can I know if I'm hearing and processing all of Maharishi's discourse correctly--especially those on CC, GC, and UC? Mark Kurita yelled out Good question! Sam ignored me when my hand was up for the rest of the semester. I was just too filled with stress.

Not sure why partying too much would be a problem in Belize because it is a tourist country and likes to party. Like you said in another post you gotta pay off the officials.

One would think that when it comes to *either* Sai Baba or Maharishi no explanation of the Moolah Mantra is required: This is funny! So, how much 'moolah' did you give the Marshy and the Rama Guy? $10,000 or $20,000 over fourteen years so NOW you're complaining. Go figure. You got what, a single mantra from MMY and didn't even get a spiritual name from Rama and after all that time and money spent. LoL! Send us more moolah, oh God. Lots and lots and lots of moolah. That will protect us and give us freedom from sorrow and suffering. Fuck those who 'donate' the moolah. All that matters is that we get it. What do you suppose Rama did with all the money you gave him? From what I've read, Lenz bought hisself a Mercedes Benz and a nice pad up in Stony Brook. Nice! Were you evenr invited up over to sit in his Fred's hot tub? Maybe you don't want to talk about it. Sorry, but the fact that some people still revere that child-molesting, bad-magician charlatan Sathya Sai Baba blows my mind even more than the fact that some still revere Maharishi.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: A Second Open Letter to Bill Howell, author of CULT
JS, I don't think that what Robin calls the mystical hallucination of his UC could, from the POV of simple logic, give rise to intentions which you describe as the absolute best and purest. Logic indicates simply that the intentions at their very inception were based in hallucination. I think calling them, especially in hindsight, the absolute best and purest continues the hallucination in a small but significant amount. Significant because that small amount exists in the very core of the larger matter. Thus is useful IMO to be named. Yes, the whole situation became confusing, agonizing and eventually poignant. Even more reason to immediately name the hallucination or delusion or pragyaparadh when it appears so that unnecessary suffering can be avoided.

--- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, authfriend authfriend@... wrote: Couple of comments below, Robin. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Robin Carlsen maskedzebra@... wrote: Dear Bill, The essence of the Ten Years was this: when I came down from that mountain I found myself able to see the ultimate weakness or falseness in each human being. *I never saw this before*. So what this mean was that each person I met after being enlightened--other than Maharishi himself--demonstrated in their behaviour a certain awareness of what was untrue or insincere in themselves. It seemed--from the point of view of Unity Consciousness--that each person had this final and definitive flaw, a flaw which was the secret theme of all that they did--but which was hidden from everyone else. And perhaps had not even surfaced completely in the consciousness of that person. No matter: what happened inside my enlightenment was that in seeing the evidence of this contradiction in their very beingness, I was led to believe (by what was creating the context of my enlightenment) that my being able to perceive this infirmity in that person, that in making this known to that person, they could, through their own free will, make use simply of the grace of truth (of that very revelation) to acquire the means to challenge and eventually overcome that flaw. And each person had a signature flaw. Indeed the process through which this weakness was exposed seemed to bring with it a context of prescriptive existential potential whereby that person could begin to take responsibility for this weakness or falseness and begin to overcome it. That is what confrontation was, after all: revelation of the problem, and then, evidently, a context within which to do something about that problem. The means to uncovering and exposing that flaw--*so that every person in the room or theatre could see it for themselves*, see it inside the context of reality, and thus making it seem to be a kind of 'demonically' supported weakness--was through a 'tracking' process, which entailed going through layers and layers of deceit, phoniness, dishonesty, fear, falseness, escapism, avoidance--and then revealing this weakness as essentially the responsibility of that person--inside the drama of creation--to face and conquer. To conquer that distinctive and inimitable weakness would be the qualification to become enlightened. Therefore this was becoming enlightened through a means other than the East only. Even though that continued, as each and every one of us was devoted to Maharishi, and were under the assumption that Maharishi had made me enlightened. Ergo, what I was doing must, somehow have the blessing of my Master, Guru Dev, and the Holy Tradition. Emphatically this was the understanding that every person who was closest to me held as unassailable, inviolable. Now since my enlightenment was a mystical hallucination, it meant that *the context which it gave birth to inside myself*, that too somewhere, no matter how true the process of confrontation and individuation appeared to be (and that process recreated reality, drove everyone into the deepest place one could ever go--and had ever gone), was untrue. **And what this meant--in the perspective after The Context was busted by a greater reality--was that this weakness in each person was simply what innocently each person had to do in order to survive as a human being inside the universe given that they were not perfect--and fallen. In other words, this salient and ultimate weakness was not to be confronted--not even to be revealed.** JS: These last two sentences are so illuminating of what you had been trying to do. Your having the power to see these ultimate weaknesses in people was like bait, for you and for them, an ingenious--and, apparently, evil--temptation to meddle with what should have been left strictly alone. RC2: That word bait is very apropos, Judy--as is your entire comment here. The temptation, then, was a 'cosmic' one--but understood and experienced from the level of Unity Consciousness, it seemed not just irresistible, but (of course) contained the possibility--nay, even the inevitability--of being overcome. The very inspiration to perceive this ultimate flaw or weakness in each person seemed to signify that there was another truth there as well: *You can conquer this weakness--such that it will eventually die from nonuse*; which is to say, if you confront it in yourself (more about that later), you will diminish its strength and hold over you, and therefore you can find some non-compensatory means to be who you are. Because this weakness, as I have said in my letter to Bill Howell, brings the attention of the whole universe to itself (as far as the person in Unity Consciousness is concerned, that is). But this principle goes much further. Not only was the revelation inspired; but then the means to address it were provided along with the revelation. That

On the subject of Mel I will have to defer to the Christian thinking that goes something like this IF a man says he is right with Jesus, ask hiw wife and children not knowing Mel's ex, I won't make further comments.

Sounds like a funny sort of man's (n this case the man being Mr Coppard) viewpoint. How about looking at it that because women are, generally speaking, less physically strong than men they have to rely on their wits more and of course this would apply mostly to days gone by when physical threat was more common in daily life. To hide one's young from a predator would involve elements of foresight, the ability to be spontaneous and creative to find ways of escaping the jaws of some hungry mountain lion as well as a huge degree of courage. To use a term to lump all of these characteristics into one descriptive word like dirty is patently ridiculous and shortsighted, even underhanded. Talk about 'fighting dirty'. Just another person putting a negative spin on what could be otherwise construed as positive in the opposite sex.  We had to have strategies and abilities to protect the young because we were the last line of defense when the men of the tribe were off hunting or warring. We would have been the FIRST and far from inferior line of defense since the men were gone and might have been the first line even if they had been present.

I don't think that what Robin calls the mystical hallucination of his UC could, from the POV of simple logic, give rise to intentions which you describe as the absolute best and purest. I don't think the POV of simple logic (yours in particular) is adequate to address that highly unusual situation such as to be able to determine the nature of Robin's intentions. It's the wrong tool for the job. (And in this case, your contorted, spiteful personal animus toward Robin, which drives you to find his intentions less than good and pure no matter what, disqualifies you from having any useful insights into what was going on.) Logic indicates simply that the intentions at their very inception were based in hallucination. I think calling them, especially in hindsight, the absolute best and purest continues the hallucination in a small but significant amount. Significant because that small amount exists in the very core of the larger matter. Thus is useful IMO to be named. I would not expect you to see things any differently, Share. Your propensity to rewrite reality to suit your own needs will not permit you to acquire a more subtle understanding of the complex metaphysics of what took place with Robin and his group.

Some of us got the giggles and it was one of those times we just could not stop laughing and had to try to keep quiet. I had to leave the room...laughed and laughed outside for about 30 minutes. It was great. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, mjackson74 mjackson74@... wrote: I just got this from an old friend who graduated from MIU when it was still MIU.

[FairfieldLife] Fairfield Nonprofit group plans to reopen former Co-Ed Theater
FW: Girindra Selleck was the only participant tall enough to reach the area on the old Co-Ed marquee to put up the new lettering stating that a new theater is coming in 2013. Handing the letters to him is Neil Cunningham, while his father Thomas Selleck gives directions. The reopened theater will be called the Orpheum Theatre under nonprofit status and will show first run movies in the remodeled space. The Co-Ed Theater is exhibiting signs of life for the first time since Big Time Cinema deserted the operation due to bankruptcy less than three months ago. A handful of residents gathered at noon Wednesday to letter the vacant marquee to read, New Theatre coming 2013. The declaration was the first visible indication of new management, not by a private operator as might be expected, but instead by a gathering of citizens eager to transform the facility into a state-of-the-art, community-run theater. To that end, about a dozen residents led by Patricia Draznin, Sheila Ross and John Matthews have formed a nonprofit registered with the state, the Orpheum Theatre and Fairfield Film Institute. While many were mourning the loss of the Co-Ed in September, Draznin secretly rejoiced. She had her eye on the Co-Ed ever since she read about the State Theatre in Traverse City, Mich., in 2007. She learned how the nonprofit Traverse City Film Festival refurbished the century theater with the help of director Michael Moore, where it now shows 365 movies per year. When the news broke the Co-Ed had closed, Draznin said she picked up her phone immediately to call the theater's managing owner, Chris Johnson of Mandala 6 Land Partners. I told him, `I'm really excited the Co-Ed closed, it's a great opportunity,' said Draznin. We could turn it into something really good. Draznin was not alone. Johnson said he received a flood of calls from people with ideas for the theater's future. Johnson encouraged the group to form a nonprofit, which would allow them the freedom to choose movies, and to raise the money to convert both theaters to digital technology, the new industrywide standard. Draznin began researching for examples of communities that successfully had raised money to refurbish their town's historic movie theaters. She found a dozen in Iowa including, Pella, Washington, De Witt, Lake Mills, Marshalltown, Denison and Mount Pleasant. All over Iowa there are theaters, which have already done the same thing and succeeded in refurbishing, converting to digital and are now operating in the black, she said. We feel very confident that once we're ready to start taking donations, it's not going to be a big deal to do. The committee hopes to raise approximately $300,000 to upgrade both screens, install a new sound system and to put in stadium seating. Johnson plans to invest in renovating the lobby and bathrooms. Mandala 6 Land Partners will manage the project. The committee's vision is for the theater to feature a variety of first-run movies, old classics and independent films. They plan to have offerings for all ages, with weekend matinees for children, late-night shows for college students and film festivals and premieres. The nonprofit will run the movie theater. Johnson plans to restore the century-old lobby to grandeur with art nouveau or art deco styling. He also will provide seating for about 40 people at couches and tables, who can enjoy café items and beverages from several vendors. It's a real labor of love, said Draznin. What could be more fun than restoring your hometown movie theater? The committee is in the process of forming an executive board, which will steer the activities of the theater and manage subcommittees in charge of movie selection, fundraising, etc. Draznin said there is no lack of volunteers. The minute we made the announcement, people began offering expertise, assistance, and some already have offered donations, she said. A subcommittee soon will approach the community for donations, she said. The nonprofit also will likely apply for government funding through state grants, but Draznin said they do not plan to ask the city for financial support. Gathering feedback from the community is currently top on the committee's list. In the next couple of weeks, the group will be dispersing a film survey throughout town. This will be a chance to tell us how we can best serve the community, she said. Fairfield has a very wide range of interests, and we want to satisfy everyone, she said. We want to make sure we're really tuned in. While an opening date isn't fixed, Johnson has estimated the theater will be running within the next six months.
Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Too Funny
Oh no, that one KNOWS - has given rise to all kinds of charlatans like Maharishi, Ammachi and the cults around them. The minute one says they KNOW they are no longer vulnerable and are totally ripe to make mistakes. Every moment is potent with new information, new knowledge, new discovery so if one claims to be enlightened then one would think they are always open, alert, vulnerable - ever ready to refine themselves. So in this scenario every past action is a candidate to be marked as a mistake. Based upon this we can easily conclude that people Maharishi Ammachi who claim they know are either delusional or charlatans - clearly the latter, street smart both.
