[FairfieldLife] Re: The Importance Of Group Meditation

[dhamiltony...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

 Should we create a dispensation for the meditators who do not attend group 
meditation in Fairfield, Iowa? What can we do?  

One could correlate from what science that we do know about group meditation 
that a large part of the tense psycho-spiritual problems we collectively face 
is rooted in the absentee meditators living here, those who do not attend to 
the collective meditation of Fairfield, Iowa.  All those Art of Living people, 
the Oneness people, the Amma satsang and others. They seem to not care that 
they are given this opportunity, even at the weekday no-badge group meditation, 
and they make no effort. Those satsangs don’t even show up to meditate with 
others in collective group meditation as a practice where there is offered 
invitation.   It is like they have a spiritual aloofness, a type of arrogance 
that keeps them from doing the spiritual work. 
 What can be done to motivate them to open their hearts to communal practice?

in transcendental meditationism but now by virtue of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's 
articulation there is the evident science of collective practice of meditation 
on the whole.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Countering a Post-Modern Spiritual Disabling of the Human Being..

[dhamiltony...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

Notes from the morning Fairfield, Iowa Coffee Haus Satsangs, after meditation. 
This morning’s notes are about ambient collective Fear, the Energy of these 
times:  
 Running conversation,
 There is a tremendous amount of fear in the collective. Fear of not having 
enough and that whatever people have, rich or poor, what they have might be 
taken away.
 ..Kali Yuga is about lies, power and fear. This is a time where the throat has 
become a weapon of the lower chakras. Weaponized. Unregulated by the heart. 
 ..Doing energy work on wall street people, they are a lot as mushroom shaped 
men. Their energy fields present as mushroom shaped, mushroom shaped men 
‘empowered’ in business with large upper mental fields that are nothing but 
black and grey. Nothing lit in the brow, they are hollow in the middle fields 
and disconnected from the lower fields.  They look like a mushroom top with 
stick legs.   It is a signature of the times. Big mental fields, causal, and 
not much to support it.  In the bankers and powerful of wall street it is 
common. No heart field. Without the heart field online there is no mediating 
between the upper and lower fields. They are cut off from each other, 
disconnected. It is a signature. 
 In this the throat has become weaponized between the upper fields and lower, 
unregulated in fear. 
 ..The heart is the capacity to look outside oneself.Like Jesus saying in 
the Bible about rich people and camels passing through eyes of needles. These 
spiritually poor rich people live in mentalized fear.   
 ..There are a few examples of where some people are waking up and looking out 
the third eye and more from the heart.
 ..An activating of the eye and heart of these mushroom people though, this 
becomes of a necessity for the common good. Waking them up, looking out the 
third eye, the heart to a sense of sharing. The contrast experience.  
 ..That is the premise of doing the spiritual work to put the system together. 
Meditating, doing good works with others for others. Doing the spiritual 
improvement work. Becoming better human beings. 
 Power and sense of self. 
 

 Activating the eye and heart of these mushroom people, the premise of the 
impact of development on consciousness can energetically impact a foci of 
experience, to positively affect the larger group. Modern is what the work of 
this town and movement is about.

 A Quick paraphrase edit: 
  

 “..In a non-theistic ( non-spiritual) morality..Vice sells and that is 
patently degenerate. That is ‘creative genius’, because it can be done and it 
makes money?  It is called the degradation of freedom that is run of the mill 
upper levels of hell.  That is games-land. 

 It gets down more serious when the infection begins to distort the capacity to 
tell truth from falsehood. The perversion is the perversion of the third eye of 
spiritual discernment.  If you think that that which is wicked is good and  is 
nothing but freedom and just a game then you are in worse shape than the killer 
out on the street.  The killer on the street knows what he is doing when he is 
killing somebody. He is in better shape than the person who does it and thinks 
they are just ‘expressing their political opinion’. What is not recognizable is 
the perversion of logic that is used to subserve. That is the new sheep’s 
clothing that hides the wolf. The satanic is easy to see, the satanic is 
chopping people up, killing, rape, murder, drugs; run of the mill cheap 
everyday stuff.  It is obvious yes-and-no stuff.  It is when it (the attack of 
the lower astral) subverts the third eye, the spiritual eye so people cannot 
tell truth from falsehood anymore, mankind cannot tell truth from falsehood.

 Fleetwood shares this: 

  'decline of global sattva?'. Yes, it can seem that way these days, because it 
is easier to feel resistance, which shrinks one's apparent world; less 
satisfying. However, as a wise man said, 'take it easy, take it as it comes'. 

 

 Globally, we are in a period of rising sattva, but it must be integrated at 
each step of our journey. Light doesn't conquer darkness, it removes it, and it 
removes it by knowing through every photon, its identity, and differentiation 
from darkness. Just Being - no resistance necessary. The light just acts as 
itself, and removes the darkness. 

 

 So the resistance within can create the illusion of a less satisfying reality 
these days, feeling closed in, but it is only a lesson plan to move forward, 
through acceptance and integration.

 In ‘nefariousness’, member behavior can taint a whole community. Apparently 
when the Mormons showed up in Nauvoo, Illinois they were a huge spiritual 
movement at the time that attracted and brought all kinds of people from all 
over, including directly from Europe.  As Mormons gathered in Illinois the 
locals then started experiencing missing horses and stuff, and having some bad 
dishonest business dealings with Mormon members.  The character taint on the 
larger group as a movement was that the Mormons became known as just a lot of 
trouble. It got to a point where the civil authority of the State government of 
Illinois could not insure Mormon safety against the feelings of the local 
populace and negotiations were opened to get the Mormons out of the State as a 
group and moved on further West. The rest of that is known history.. 

But locally there in Illinois the Mormon movement became known there as just a 
bunch of bad business for the character of some of the members.  That has 
happened some likewise in Fairfield at times too.  There are stories of a few

[FairfieldLife] Re: A [TM] Biography of Charlie Lutes and Helen Lutes:

[dhamiltony...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

Lecture:  The Gold Mine in Your Backyard
 by Charlie Lutes 
 

 Charlie Lutes was an early student of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in the West in the 
days of the Spiritual Regeneration Movement from the late 1950's, 1960’s… 
 

  
 As humans we are mainly concerned with the relative, yet the absolute truth 
underlies everything in creation and is the basis for all the laws of creation. 
As adults, like children, we must grow into truth. Truth could not be poured 
out on us indiscriminately because we would drown in truth rather than 
gradually grow into, or absorb, the truth. As we grow into truth we become more 
responsible and as a result more and more truth is added unto us.
 For many ages the inner truths were closely guarded lest they got into the 
hands of irresponsible people and were misused. Hence, the forming of secret 
brotherhoods and mystery schools where only the most responsible and 
trustworthy were initiated into truth under great vows of secrecy. However, now 
is the time when great truths are being given out around the world for those 
who have the good karma or inner desire for these revelations.
 One such truth is that there is a shortcut, the Transcendental Meditation 
technique, whereby we may construct a clear channel from ourselves to the 
Almighty, and thereby quickly gain absolute truth without going through a long 
drawn out process of evolution over ages of births and rebirths. Other great 
truths are also now being given out, such as: that we are never punished for 
our sins, but by them; that we are responsible for our actions and that we 
judge ourselves when we get to the other side; that we are eternal and we have 
everlasting life; that ultimately all souls gain mastery and that 97% of them 
are not lost; that love is the motivating force of creation; that we are all 
one; that destruction is not the wrath of God being visited upon the people, 
rather it is nature restoring the balance thrown out by human ignorance. There 
are so many truths to be given out and absorbed by so many people throughout 
the world.
 Finding the truth which is now widely available is like finding a gold mine in 
your backyard. It is all there just for the seeking. In the close of the 
Piscean Age and the beginning of the Aquarian Age we are aware of so much evil 
and violence in the world, but we should be aware that there is also the 
opposite being offered. And having free will we can, as always, choose the way 
we wish to go. Truth is the solid foundation we should build our lives on and 
in so doing we will build a structure that will withstand the ravages of time. 
If we build our lives on a foundation of lies or half-truths the first storm to 
assail us will carry us down the path of destruction and ruin. While we should 
always accept and appreciate relative truth we should strive to move toward the 
absolute truth as much as we are able.
 We cannot demand truth, because truth is purity on an ascending scale. So, to 
be aware of higher truths we must gain equal purity. Although humanity is 
completely surrounded by truth, most of humanity is completely unaware of this. 
To realize the higher truths, they must grow into the higher truths.
 The purity of one thing attracts the purity of another thing. Also, the 
setting for an object must be compatible with the object itself. You would not 
display a flawless diamond in a shoddy surrounding. You would display it in a 
beautiful salon on a velvet covered table.
 The ultimate truth is total purity and that is God. So, God and truth are one 
and the same. Destiny on the path of truth is the same thing; it leads to 
oneness with truth which is our oneness with God.
 Coming up through evolution we have come up through a sea of deceit, lies, 
selfishness, vanity, ego, cruelty, separateness and all forms of sin. We have 
lived untruth while oblivious to the purity of life, which is truth. Now we 
find that in awakening to the spirit of truth, which is spirituality, we are 
covered with contamination of the ages encrusted on us and now we are going 
through the process of cleansing which we call unstressing. The solvent or 
cleansing agent we use is a very high vibration that acts against the 
contamination and breaks it up and washes it away through the mind because that 
is how we acquired it in the first place. It is like washing away a heavy clay 
coating on a diamond and then when this is accomplished, the diamond begins to 
sparkle in its own pure light. The human nervous system is like the diamond and 
Transcendental Meditation is the cleanser we use.
 Truth in life has many facets and all are very important parts contributing to 
the whole, such as true love, true beauty, true devotion, true integrity, true 
mercy, true kindness and consideration, and many others. All of these facets 
are lived in relative purity by humanity; but the path of the initiate is to 
bring all of these facets up to total purity, and that then is truth unfolded. 
When
