 Thanks. Yes, the world could use a lot more piety. FFL could too.

 Nicely put. It reminds me of something I wanted to say about awoelflebater's 
post on another thread (power naps): Now, these long-term, incessant 
meditators obviously have absolutely nothing else pressing in their lives to 
compel them to want to stand up and open their eyes.: 
 We understand what you're saying but it is a common belief in all 
contemplative traditions that communities joined together practising silent 
prayer (eg, monks and nuns) have a beneficial effect on the world even though 
to practical, common-sense types they seem to be a waste of space. Indeed, even 
the very recollection that there are men and women who forsake the feverish 
ambitions of the mass of people induces a feeling of calm!

Feste37 makes a very important distinction here. Fairfield clearly is even now 
a historic American pietist spiritual practice community rooted in the 
practices of Quietism.

 In a coming future, meditating Fairfield, Iowa very likely shall also come to 
be on the National Registry of Historic Places along with other important 
spiritual practice communities of American and Western history.

 Going forward meditating Fairfield, Iowa is blazing still its contemporary and 
revolutionary commentary on 21st Century materialism and spiritual and 
religious American community. Jai Brahmananda Saraswati!

  Yes, meditating Fairfield as a spiritual practice community was never 
conceived an amusement park. Even right now it is a living artifact of 20th 
Century American spiritual experience and community.
