Yep, the course office here has been having people swear oaths of loyalty for 
people to renew for valid Dome badges.  Religionism v spiritual practice.  
Tru-believers v practitioners of spirituality.  Seems the ages old story in 
transcendentalism of spiritual experience and practice v ideologues of 
tru-believerism that runs throughout Western history.

“We are a group of people who have come together and created a community for a
transcendentally important common purpose, which of course is to practice the
Transcendental Meditation program and the TM-Sidhi program together as a group,
for the sake of bringing coherence to national and world consciousness based on
balancing labor and leisure to meditate while working together for the benefit
of the community. Our Super-Radiance meditating community includes families of
TM-Meditators and TM-Sidhas in the Fairfield, Vedic City and Jefferson County
area.”

Fairfield Meditating: Living nice, cheap, and spiritual
having some style and a good time, like on the Farm.

Erin McCarley: What would you say were the founding principles of The Farm?
Stephen Gaskin: We had all been spiritual students of one kind or another. We
still are. I used to say, “If you took all religions, like on IBM punch cards,
some of the holes would go clear through the stack.” And that’s what we’re
interested in. We agreed that if you felt like we were all one, we could live
collectively in a way in which everybody could have some of what was happening.

For Lurkers looking in, for a perspective on how we live as the Fairfield,
Iowa meditating community see the recent post/link to the organizational flow
charts as to how we are as a living community here. The pundit thing is a small
part of the Fairfield Iowa meditator experience.

Om well, to anybody who is *new* to this, looking in on Fairfield, Iowa from
the outside, you should know also for relative perspective that the pundit
thing is an outpost of all that is the TM meditating community in Fairfield,
Iowa. Most Fairfield meditators don't have anything to do with it and there
was never a lot of buy in to it for common Fairfield rank and file meditators.
The pundit program is a pretty exclusive thing that is run by a few super-ru's.

That's a good summary.

Thanks. It is interesting that you responded first to this. I actually was
thinking of asking you to help me edit this particular paper [below] for this
particular scholarly audience. I pushed ahead anyway and they seem quite
pleased with this as an entry in to the subject of TM and Fairfield for
discussion. -Buck

But if the scholars didn't know about TM and Fairfield, I'd be interested in
knowing what were the Utopian/spiritual/intentional/communal groups that they
did discuss, especially those currently in existence. Where are these groups
located? Who are they?

Communal studies: Yesterday in Fairfield I met a couple of young people
visiting Fairfield from a commune in Missouri. They had heard about Fairfield
and came up from southern Missouri to visit. They had their back-packs with
bed-rolls and were on the square downtown. I stopped and asked them what they
were about. They were from a communal group different from Dancing Rabbit
located much further south than the communes near Dancing Rabbit. Missouri
hosts quite a number of communal groups. Sandhill being another Missouri
self=sustaining commune that is older and better known. The group these young
men were from is part of the 12 tribes movement, a shared=goods group sort of
like the Hutterites. They live communally but different from the Hutterites the
Tribes live in common dwelling houses. Twelve tribes came out of the Jesus
movement of the anti-war years of the 70's but is very anti-established
institutional doctrinaire Christianity. These were real nice idealistic young
people a lot like we are as bringing a better place to the world.
Millennialists like us, just a different language. They pray a lot like we
meditate a lot.
