 Reading this analysis below of the millennials compared to us the boomers, 
thus far in TM the transition has been little and spotted at best. The profile 
of our meetings are getting to be quite geriatric. At the top they evidently 
are not to share their podium yet with millennials at our large community 
meetings. There was a big meeting on campus recently with the top leadership 
and other than a couple token young persons sitting with a parent on stage it 
was an adult only presentation.  
 

 The 30 or so (conservative) people who currently own and run the movement it 
seems are most anxious to set in stone processes, procedures and guidelines as 
they see were laid down braced for a thousand years rule, and not just let 
anyone come in and change anything before they leave the stage. 
 The attrition in most all the elements of TM has been huge and long with 
basically the same people in charge for 40 years. It is down to hundreds who 
are inside, not the thousands that once were. Back in 2009 in response to a 
student uprising in the university over the student experience at the 
university a survey by interview was hired. When the results were presented to 
the university president his response was that he 'was going to hold on to the 
university until his last dying breath'. In character it is a race against 
time.

 FW: Millennials and selling to them..

 

 The difference between Boomers and Millennials  - individualistic vs. 
collective (ME vs WE)
  
 Also, that with Millennials slower and lower forming of families and less need 
to show off with flashy stuff will come a slower economic growth – no need for 
flashy house, car, clothing, jewelry.  But they do value experiences – 
restaurants, travel, bars,
  
 “We” Versus “Me” Generation By Harry S. Dent Jr., Senior Editor, Economy & 
Markets I have three step kids. Two are generation X. The youngest is 
generation Y. 

Just looking at them, you can tell a clear difference in their personalities 
and aspirations.

My older step kids are more individualistic. The younger one is more oriented 
to the group and collective interests. 

It’s a fundamental difference that speaks by-and-large to both generations.

And it’s a difference we need to understand given the troublesome economic 
climate we face. 

You know that one of the major points of my research is that the millennial 
generation will neither fully replace nor surpass the boomers the way every 
single generation in history has before (not to mention the millennials are 
much smaller in most developed countries).

This is something most can’t wrap their head around, because the millennial 
generation is indeed larger than the boomers. 

But they’re larger only in terms of total numbers. They started out with higher 
birth rates and their birth surge lasted longer. However, they never have peaks 
in births, adjusted for immigration, quite as high as the baby boom. 

In other words, this generation will never take us to new heights in stocks, in 
home buying or car buying or most sectors of our economy!

And that is more critical for their future economic impact.
 The chart below comes from the seminal book Generations by William Strauss and 
Neil Howe.

It shows how there are four broad personality types that emerge in two birth 
waves every 80 years or so.

Here’s another point about generations most people don’t get.

Strauss and Howe went back centuries to document their findings. Their research 
adds a social/political dimension to the economic cycles we’ve identified.

 What this shows is that for every birth wave that is more individualistic, 
inner-directed, or me-oriented… another follows that is more conformist, 
outer-directed, or we-oriented.

And each wave changes as it rises and falls.

At the start of the individualistic generation comes a rising and more dominant 
“idealist” group. In our case, this is the baby boomers, and the Henry Ford 
generation before them.

Then comes a declining “reactive” group, like generation X. 

The idealists want to change the world radically. Throw out the baby with the 
bath water! Sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll! But they also bring about major 
revolutions like automobiles and personal computing.

Coming off that high, the reactives want to change the world and improve it in 
more practical terms, like with the Internet and global communities.

The civics follow in the next rising birth wave. This group is more collective. 
They’re all for the good of the whole. They were the Bob Hope generation, the 
World War II GIs that banded together in tough times. That is the same group as 
the millennials emerging today.

---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,  wrote :

 Yes, this larger survey is interesting base-line data on the larger meditating 
community in Fairfield from back when the meditating community and the Dome 
numbers were more around their peak as the long decline (attrition) was then 
ensuing. You can see the seeds and the consequent beginning of the cultivated 
socioeconomic exclusivity sprouting then and the administrative separation of 
meditators from membership in the group meditation over visiting saints and 
spiritual people that had started in the late 1980's and through the 1990's to 
present. 
 
 
 Since the larger sample community survey of the early 1990's there have only 
been small sample surveys of sub-groups. In a way the recent book on Fairfield 
[How a New Age Movement Remade a Small Town in Iowa] by the journalist, Joseph 
Weber is a survey by extensive interviewing of the Fairfield meditating 
community that is current. A few years ago when there was such strife in the 
sustainable living students an interview survey was hired and conducted of the 
university SL students about their experience at the university. The results 
were presented to the administration and then defended against by the 
President. That survey and more recent surveying has been useful more recently 
in guiding some policy changes around the university and MSAE student life 
currently. 
 
 
 While the progressive side of the TM movement has been methodically tracking 
metrics and hiring marketing surveying related to the teaching of meditation, 
there have not been broad surveying of the meditating community of the scale of 
the 1994 survey. That could proly be too frightening for some of the key 
patriarchs of old administration on watch of the movement to see. 
 
 
 The closest thing to that kind of surveying would be a larger ongoing survey 
of collected first-person cases by a sub-committee of the Fairfield Mental 
Health Alliance compiling cases where people have felt their well-being was 
effected by their experience with the culture of the movement. There is a range 
and distribution to those collected cases which have clearly indicated areas 
for policy changes that could improve elements of culture and consequences in 
aspects of the movement. Elements of the movement are moving on some of this 
while some ideologues try to hold a dogmatic line against it. Having 
'data-points' has been extremely helpful towards seeing policy. There is a lot 
in process going on and things are also fluid.  -JaiGuruYou

 Community-wide Survey Results 
 (also saved as documents in the FairfieldLife at Yahoo-groups files section.)
 Dear Meditator,
 In late spring (1994), the Community Forum sponsored a community-wide survey 
to sample opinion on a wide range of issues that affect our lives. Based on a 
compiled list of Fairfield-area meditators, we sent out approximately 2,000 
surveys. We received 659 completed surveys, for a response rate of about 33%. 
(The response rate may even be higher; since we used bulk mail, we do not know 
the exact number of surveys delivered.) In the field of written surveys, a 
response rate of 33% is considered outstanding. 
 Survey respondents come from a cross-section of our community: 84% have been 
meditating for 16 years or longer; 68% have lived in Fairfield for seven years 
or more; and 68% are registered for Super Radiance. Although not every 
meditator filled out a survey, we believe the results provide significant 
insights into how meditators feel about important issues and about our lives in 
Fairfield.
 Survey Data
 This document provides the raw data for all questions except for the essays. 
For the essays, this document lists the more common suggestions and comments.
 Looking at the data, one can identify responses of general consensus and also 
responses reflecting widely diverse opinions. Where there is a clear need and

meetings so that interested people can come together, discuss options, and 
explore possible solutions. 
 The survey data can also be evaluated from a variety of different perspectives 
(e.g., age, gender, income, Movement status, etc.). We encourage anyone with 
statistical analytical skills to help us analyze the survey results more 
thoroughly. 
 
 Thank You!

pretty much rules out returning to FF to ever live again. Oh, and other than 
the small detail that I don't meditate and am not into any other alternate 
therapies or systems of which there seems to be an awful lot of there, I might 
just fit in fine.

might stagger on for a bit longer, but neither MUM nor MSAE have any money, so 
I do not see a bright future for them. 
 

 That all sounds about right but I'd give it 15 years, not 25.

[FairfieldLife] Mysterious City in the Sky

2015-10-20 Thread jr_...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife] 
Some people say it's Fata Morgana.  Others say that it's a NASA conspiracy plan 
to create a new religion. But this piece of news reminds me of a story in the 
Shrimad Bhagavatam of a holy man or muni who was able to create a floating 
palace for his family made with various expensive stones.  Believe it or not?

If that's the case then,the understanding  and intent of the 14th amendment may 
be in the process of being challenged in the courts. The 14th amendment was 
originally intended to make sure former slaves were recognized as citizens. The 
children of foreign diplomats, that are born in the US, are not given 
citizenship to my understanding. So birth in the US does not guarantee

SCOTUS ruled quite a while back that the 14th Amendment applies to anyone born 
in the USA *unless* they are children of someone with diplomatic immunity or 
the equivalent. 

 It might be that there really IS a push to get the 14th Amendment 
re-interpreted, but that opens a truly scary door where you might have multiple 
generations of kids who are permanently illegal.
 

 THink crime is bad now? Wait until all children of illegals have no 
possibility of being accepted in Society, EVER.

I doubt citizenship would ever be taken away, but denied in the future and 
should be. Otherwise, you have a magnet that draws people here to violate the 
law in order to establish legal residency. If you burglarize a house and get 
caught, the courts don't let you keep the stuff you stole.

    SCOTUS ruled quite a while back that the 14th Amendment applies to anyone 
born in the USA *unless* they are children of someone with diplomatic immunity 
or the equivalent.
It might be that there really IS a push to get the 14th Amendment 
re-interpreted, but that opens a truly scary door where you might have multiple 
generations of kids who are permanently illegal.
THink crime is bad now? Wait until all children of illegals have no possibility 
of being accepted in Society, EVER.

 The Fairfield Meditating Community: Yep, in process should have 'mission' well

transcendentally important common purpose, which of course is to practice the 
Transcendental Meditation program and the TM-Sidhi program together as a group,

 Well, the memo is a needed advocacy for the community here..
 
 “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 consciousness. .. our 
Super-Radiance community includes all the Meditators as well as the families of 
all the Sidhas and Meditators.”
 

 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 to 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.

 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.
