Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: The Call to Spiritual Order,Rally Now to Meditation!

[Archer Angel archonan...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

The moderator here seems to be more religiously oriented than the typical TM 
meditator.
I think the average TM meditator is a bit more secular.
As for his comments about grace they appear to be "the free and unmerited favor 
of God" which is basically a Christian idea, even though the idea of spiritual 
grace appears in other traditions.
If you are ill and someone cares for you, that is a kind of grace. Grace is 
simple elegance or refinement of movement, a kind of beauty that soothes and 
takes away the ache.
One feels a kind of grace on learning any meditation that is effective as it 
takes the edge off living.
As awareness becomes clearer, the nature of grace begins to shift from 
something that is done to you or done for your benefit to something that is 
what you are.
The attribution of grace then shifts from persons, traditions, what people have 
told us, to a function of the world as a whole.
As we become that world and our ego-nature subsides the idea and significance 
of grace fades away as an unreality.
In a unity there is nothing that does something to something else except on a 
superficial level of change.
The nature of experience at that point forbids the idea that something happened 
to get to that state, for it is seen that grace, as all the other trappings of 
spiritual progress, were delusional, unreal.
To put it in TM terms, TC, CC, GC, and immature UC provide a platform for the 
function of the idea of grace because there is the potential for some relief 
and change in the situation.
But once BC and rock-solid stability are the norm, grace as an idea is in the 
coffin because it is not necessary to receive something in order to be what you 
already are and always have been.
Giving thanks for that is just talking to yourself and making a mood.
Because enlightenment is the pervasive bed of reality, every aspect of 
experience can be a lead-in, a point of access to that reality. The mind can be 
narrow, but the path is not, it is everywhere all the time, trying to break 
down that narrow vision.
When that narrowness cracks open clearly for the first time, there is a 
tendency to associate the breaking open of freedom with what you were doing at 
that time and especially if other people tell you that.
So if you are meditating, you associate that kind of meditation and the 
teaching of it with the result.
But you could be putting the trash in the garbage can when you have an opening 
like that. But the garbage can is not going to tell you it is the way and the 
life and the freedom you were seeking, so less likely that will be thought to 
be a cause.
But the real cause is there is no cause because simply a misunderstanding of 
the situation is being dissipated. You are living the life of freedom but think 
it is not. Once that thought is squashed at every level of your being, it is a 
done deal.
So grace, like all other areas of spiritual understanding, is ultimately an 
illusion. But while it is still a functional idea, enjoy the experience as it 
can take emphasis off your ego, can act as a nudge toward a more fulfilling 
direction.
It is interesting that spiritual organizations in teaching you to be free are 
often highly regimented. All Maharishi said was meditate and act, do your thing 
during the day. So you are going to be free and you can only do what they say?
If you have managed to subdue the ego, and the mind is quiescent, why not walk 
among all the people for you have become the very world they envision they 
inhabit. There is no nexus for omnipresent reality, no one point or activity 
more important than another, they are a whole. Perhaps just brushing against 
some stranger or a word here or there will be the nudge that sets them desiring 
the larger scale of life.

    Well, forgive this voicing of a different viewpoint, but this one's 
personal opinion is that one genuine disciplined meditator meditating regularly 
amongst100 non-meditators is more effective in society than 100 meditators 
meditating amongstthemselves - although there is certainly a beneficial social 
family aspect which cannot be denied from similar association on such a deep 
level.
 Besides, I personally have a different spiritual philosophy tothat expounded 
by Maharishi, one which differs in certain fundamental aspects,it would seem, 
one which touches both my heart and mind deeply in a manner thatleaves no room 
for the grafting of branches from other trees.  I’m not sure I could listen to 
too much coffee-shopconversation without suggesting the smelling of stronger 
coffee all round. 

Jai Guru Dev.

We are most grateful to all those who came answering the call and sat up in 
their meditations with us in Fairfield, Iowa. It has been our honor to have had 
those who traveled from distant places joining alongside us here in collective 
meditation in these times. -JaiGuruYou
 

 Those of you that have been going to the Domes recently will be aware that 
many of our friends from across the country have joined us here in Fairfield 
over the last week or so, and they have helped boost the overall attendance in 
evening program to over 750 people.
 

 If you aren’t able to attend any of the official flying halls, please try to 
do group program together with friends in 2s, 3s, 4s, etc., whatever is 
convenient, and aim to start your yogic flying practice at the official CST 
times of 8:15 am and 5:45 pm.
 

 Jai Guru Dev

 Try to meditate in groups with a grateful heart. 
 Remember all that TM has given you- is giving you, the countless blessings, 
and return your gratitude to the source. 
 

 Gratitude and praise open a channel for support of nature to come to you.  
Listen to and read what Maharishi said about the Maharishi Effect. A full 
commitment by individuals who gather in groups is all that it takes.
 

 Future generations will be so grateful when they learn about you--what you did 
for them, this world, the future. And that includes the sacrifices you made 
moving to Fairfield remaining true to your convictions and to the tradition 
from which the knowledge came.  
 Jai Guru Dev,

 Quite a few of my friends meditate, and some are teachers, but most of us live 
far from Fairfield, IA.
 

 But we are scattered over a wide area so group gatherings of meditators tends 
to take place only during quarterly celebrations or occasional group 
meditations.
 

 Attempting to get enlightened is not a military campaign against the outer 
world, it is a campaign against our inner inadequacies.
 

 The outer world takes care of itself, as it says in Tao Te Ching: "So the wise 
adhere to action through non-action,
 And communicate the teaching without words."
 

 Extolling meditators to perform under command, as if  they were a seal on the 
commercial stage balancing a ball on its nose, negates the spontaneity of 
effortless flow.
 

 Those who live in movement facilities live under this constriction, but those 
who do not often have lives far removed from life in the movement, we meditate 
when and where we can when we so desire.
 

 If the desire to meditate is genuine, it comes naturally, effortlessly and 
time will be made as allowed by the greater expanse of the world under the Laws 
of Nature.
 

 Spiritual movements ebb and flow, they begin, evolve, and dissipate.
 

 None of them eventually stay true to their original purpose which is simply 
for the human mind to wake up to its actual nature as experience opposed to its 
intellectual musings which flow as constricted rivers of thought.

 Yes, it is quite time now to STFU and meditate.  As in, ..Sit up, attend to 
and actually meditate. In groups.   

It is time to rally to meditation by all that the best of modern science tells 
us is statistical truth and by what we know more objectively in our experience 
as quite fair rule of thumb. It is quite time now to come together in 
collective meditation for all that is good. It is quite time now to ‘SitTFU’ 
and meditate.

 Carde,
 

 MMY stated that the real meaning of the Rig Veda lies in the sound of the 
mantra and not in the literal translation of the words.
