[FairfieldLife] US bound migrants in Mexico

2018-10-26 Thread jr_...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]
This current news sound more like the recent Islamic migration into Europe.  
Nonetheless, this phenomenon is yet another example of Adam Smith's "invisible 
hands" theory.  In the end, the American society may or may not benefit from it 
all.

 Memo:
 "It would help a lot for visible leaders to come to Group Practice (meditation 
in the Domes) and to the events, so that we are not too much of a two-tier 
community/organization.

 We talk about Super-Radiance (SR) every day with people. 95%+ of the time, the 
people say in reply, "Where are the leaders? Why don't they come to Program?" 
That is predictably what we are going to hear when we bring up SR to anyone. We 
hardly even have to ask anymore and hear, "Lead by example" and "walk the talk" 
is what is expressed.

 From our side, we don't think people expect leaders to come all the time or 
even often. But at least once or twice a month would make a huge difference. 
The Super-Radiance Community Forum poster put up last December asked, "What 
Will It Take?"

 We can say with certainty by now, it will take leaders coming to Group 
Practice is the main thing it will take. There is no question that this is the 
#1 best and most important idea and project to increase our National 
Super-Radiance."

people do have agency to decide whether to continue with that which went

 What did it learn and what can it carry forward? What did we value and what in 
the community does not need to be attached to it? :Find conversation with peers 
that love meditating and how it enriches your community. 

 The movement may have missed the boat in appropriating ‘knowing God’, and 
stripping the presentation of spirituality down to “It lowers blood pressure” & 
‘stress release’. Misappropriating the spirituality, how do you take that from 
where it has been stripped and then becomes something else, with 
administrators?  How by contrast? ..Examples readily given in conversation.”

I was at a meeting a couple of nights ago of about 25 people at Janet Sussman’s 
new Fairfield house. They agreed to meet for a meditation (superradiance) on 
the night of the Election Day, regardless of the results as the results are 
coming in. 
 

 I was at another meeting of about 25 people last night on our porch, a 
different group of 25 from Janet’s satsanga.  This group agreed to meet for a 
meditation on the night before Election Day having a group meditation for the 
country. 
 

 Both groups of people are of the old meditator TM community here, mostly 
unaffiliated anymore/disaffiliated with the .org movement without badges to the 
Domes . 

 Same thing, meditating, over a concern with the general agitation around the 
Election over at the meditator churches and temples, the liberal catholics, and 
Mother Divine church. The meditating Quakers.  The temple(s).
