Transcendental Meditation®️ with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Featuring

[FairfieldLife] Fw: Maharishi > Christianity, TM & Religion

[email4you mikemail4...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

 Maharishi > Christianity, TM & Religion
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIWqJ8tJ8JU

There is no opposition to Christianity - I love Christ very much 
and he must be enjoying with all this growth of infinity in the individual life 
because "find the kingdom that lies within you"
 I think has been the main teaching of Christ. 
And therefore Transcendental Meditation which takes the awareness to that level 
which Christ wanted every Christian to have is only a friend of Christianity.

[FairfieldLife] Fw: Resending, since not everyone received: Domes to close Sunday evening

From: Dome Announcements 
Date: Sat, Mar 14, 2020 at 10:46 AM
Subject: Resending, since not everyone received: Domes to close Sunday evening
 

  
March 12, 2020 
  
Dear Yogic Flyers, 
  
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has told us that older adults have a 
higher risk of getting seriously ill from the coronavirus (COVID – 19). 
  
To lessen the risk of a large portion of the Super Radiance community 
contracting and spreading the disease we have decided to take a serious step to 
protect everyone’s health: 
  
  After the Sunday evening program this week, we will close 
all Fairfield and Maharishi Vedic City flying halls until further notice. 
  
We strongly urge everyone to continue their program at home, lifting off at the 
usual times morning d evening. It will not be possible to Round at home. Those 
on the IAA Grant will continue to receive their monthly grant check at the 
average rate of participation over the last 6 months. While we hate to halt the 
Super Radiance program even temporarily, we will continue to generate coherence 
for the Nation from home during this delicate health time for the Country and 
the World. 
  
On a positive note, we are sending out an email to all Governors, Sidhas and 
Meditators in the U.S. encouraging them to coordinate their program times with 
those of us in our community ­– or at another set time within their time zones 
– to help create additional coherence during these delicate times. 
  
  We are looking into the best way to continue the daily phone call to the 
Invincible America Assembly. Safety First! 
  
Jai Guru Dev,

Rick Archer - Knowledge/Reality is Different in Different States of 
Consciousness

|   
|  
Rick Archer
   |

  
Opening points: 
 • People get polarized in different perspectives. The more they focus 
exclusively on their perspective, the more justification for it they find. 
 • Learning to appreciate paradox; accommodating different viewpoints within a 
broader perspective. 
 • Enlightenment as Totality. Only Totality can realize Totality. 
 • Totality has no difficulty reconciling paradoxes. 
 • Getting comfortable with paradox might be conducive to our realization of 
Totality.
 
Examples of contradictory realities: 
 • free will vs. determinism 
 • personal self vs. no-self 
 • Are we already enlightened, or must enlightenment be attained? 
 • Is practice an aid or an obstacle? 
 • Is the guru model dead? 
 • Does non-duality imply that there are no stages of spiritual growth? 
 • direct vs. progressive paths 
 • patience vs. determination on the spiritual path
 
Additional points covered: 
 • Acting in accordance with your own experience, not a concept of someone 
else’s. 
 • Absolute reality does not negate relative realities. 
 • Radically different realities at different levels of nature’s functioning 
are perfectly compatible with one another. 
 • Incorporating universal and individual perspectives – ocean and wave, 
boundless and boundaries. 
 • My experience in doing BatGap.
 
Recorded at the Science and Nonduality Conference, October 27, 2019.

[FairfieldLife] Fw: an experience of bliss ....

[email4you mikemail4...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

An experienc of bliss does need a more capable instrument of 
emotione_

 This is an excerpt from an interview Maharishi gave in 1967

 MAHARISHI MAHESH YOGI
 interviewed in Bremen, Germany

 by MARIE-LOUISE JUREIT and MALCOLM 
HART


 M-L J: What do you think about girls? Do you think they could change their 
mind and meditate as well as men?

 M M Y: I think ladies meditate comparatively more successfully because the 
quality of heart is more developed in the ladies than in the men, and therefore 
the waves of joy are more aroused, and that's why the joy is felt more. The 
heart is more - a mother's heart is much more, much more wavy - more waves, 
deeper waves rise in mother's heart than in father's heart. An experience of 
bliss does need a more capable instrument of emotion.

 M-L J: And are there more women that are interested in your message than men, 
or ...?

 M M Y: Ladies are interested in radiating more love; men are interested in 
producing more creative things. So in this movement both are equal interest. 
Men and women both have equal interest. And I emphasise family meditation - 
that's one thing I emphasise very much - every member of the family should 
meditate.

 M-L J: Is it good for couples to meditate; is it good for the marriage?

 M M Y: Even before marriage they should meditate so that they'll never quarrel 
(laughter). It has been seen in thousands of cases all over. There is just no 
quarrel, because then one tolerates the mistake of the other very easily, and 
the tolerance increases and the vision of life increases. When you have a big 
broad vision - all the fighting comes out of the smaller visions, restricted 
visions, narrow visions.

 M-L J: But how could you change your feelings into love?

 M M Y: This is what meditation does; when the heart is hard and the mind is 
narrow then one has to try hard to feel something; one has to try hard to do 
something. And when the heart is softer then your mind is enlarged - expanded 
mind. Then one doesn't have to work so hard to accomplish things and to 
experience things, to feel ... Capacity of feeling and capacity of 
understanding both improve with the expansion of consciousness.

 M-L J: And don't you think that must be boring for the world if there is 
nothing to fight...
 M M Y: No fighting comes out of lack of fulfilment; one is not fulfilled and 
then one finds the life is very critical - wanting to have this, not able to 
have that...So like that the life becomes miserable and when one is made 
miserable with oneself then one fights with things outside. (laugh) Anyone is 
contented in bliss consciousness. The life feels fuller, fuller. And in the 
fullness one could only radiate greater love, greater happiness, all the 
joyfulness. 

 Jai Guru Dev




  

[FairfieldLife] Fw: Update on our Golden Domes

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

 

   - Forwarded Message - 
 In order to keep the Domes open..

-- Forwarded message -
From: Dr. John Hagelin 
Date: Sat, Apr 27, 2019 at 12:05 PM
Subject: Update on our Golden Domes




|  |


| 
Dear Doug and Jennifer,

Last year I wrote to you about a critically important new initiative to help 
sustain our beautiful Golden Domes at Maharishi University of Management.

We are all so grateful to the many generous donors who have recognized the 
vital importance of keeping our Domes open and functional—and who have joined 
our new “Dome Supporters 1800 Group” to help safeguard these cherished homes of 
enlightenment and coherence in the U.S. But we still have a ways to go if we 
want to be able to preserve our Domes on a secure and sustainable basis.
   
   - Our first priority for our beautiful Domes is to fill them. Everyone who 
has spent program time here knows the power and depth of Dome experiences. In 
this spirit, we invite you to be in the Domes if you’re in Fairfield, and to 
visit us often if you’re not. 
   - In order to keep the Domes open and available to everyone, we face some 
real financial challenges. The actual cost to maintain the Domes—heating, 
cooling, lighting, water, and maintenance—is $270,000 a year. That’s about 
$22,500 a month, or $5,200 a week. At present, thanks to the generosity of 
donors from around the world, we can cover about half these costs sustainably. 
But we can’t cover the other half without your help. And we don’t want to close 
even one of our beautiful Domes.
   - Last year we established a large group of Sidhas from around the country 
to help sustain the Domes financially —a complementary national Super Radiance 
group, if you will—called the “Dome Supporters 1800 group.” The goal is simple: 
If 1800 Sidhas were each to commit even $15 a month to sustain the Domes—a very 
affordable contribution—the Dome maintenance costs would be completely covered, 
very easily and comfortably for everyone. So many Sidhas recognized the value 
of this proposal and responded generously, and now I’m hoping to bring this 
project to a very fulfilling fruition. Will you join us?
   - Naturally, those of you with greater financial means are welcome and 
encouraged to make a larger contribution. You could consider $50–100 or more 
per month; or you could “adopt a week” at the Domes for a $5,200 gift; or you 
could even “adopt a month” or more. But whatever your financial means may be, 
we would like everyone to contribute something toward this worthy and 
achievable goal.
   - Ideally, we want you to be part of both groups—our Super Radiance group in 
the Domes and our 1,800 group of contributors. But if you can’t be in one of 
these groups, then please be in the other. Your contributions will secure our 
Golden Domes—now and into the future.  

Together, we can ensure that the largest peace-creating community in the U.S. 
can continue to grow and provide a beautiful home for TM and TM-Sidhi 
practitioners everywhere in the world. 

Please join me in giving generously today. Thank you.

With all best wishes,

John Hagelin, Ph.D.
President

[FairfieldLife] FW: X-mas Wish

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

FW, email:  
 

 Brahm is not just silence, or just dynamism. it is a blend of both. Maharishi 
used to say until around 1983/4 that silence and unity predominate. Then he 
left that thinking and expression and spoke about silence and dynamism 
competing for many years. Then during the IAA, there was no talk of either 
predominance or competition of dynamism and silence - just a blend. 
 

 "You can't distinguish between the two." - M  And if you can't ultimately 
distinguish between silence and dynamism, it is not possible to say that either 
is higher or more or better or deeper, or even that they are equal. They're 
just both there, and both important and fundamental. 
 

 And by the same token, so are equality and hierarchy in all organizational and 
social systems. Neither can be said to be more important or fundamental than 
the other. Nor can they be said to be equally important. They are a blend. 
 

 It is Maharishi Vedic Management, including the principles and practices of 
modern HR management and organizational management, combined with GCWP 
technologies of consciousness (not just one or the other) that can help us 
create this blend best. Both are needed. Again, the blend, integration. 
 

 An ideal society can only exist when those of different stations, states of 
consciousness, talents and reputations also know and experience one another as 
equals. 
 

 This is the message that was brought at Christmas and is being re-enlivened 
now.

[FairfieldLife] FW: 12th Anniversary of the past American Assembly

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

IAA Anniversary Party 2018 This Monday After PM Program
 Between Women's Dome and Golden Dome Market
 

 Come and enjoy a Party celebrating the 12th Anniversary of the Invincible 
America Assembly this Monday, July 23, between the Women’s Golden Dome and the 
Golden Dome Market, between 6:15 PM and 9 PM. The popular Classic Jazz Quartet 
will provide light jazz classics and jazz adaptations of popular songs and show 
tunes for a memorable and fun evening. 
 

 Two options for dinner:  Either purchase a special picnic meal (burgers, 
chips, watermelon, etc.) inside the Golden Dome Market and bring it outside, or 
you may bring your own dinner from home (please do not bring perishables to 
Group Practice beforehand). 
 

 The Invincible America Assembly began on July 23, 2006, when Maharishi and Dr. 
John Hagelin saw a keen and obvious need for more peace and harmony in the 
citizens of the United States and world. Upon their timely call, hundreds of TM 
Governors, Sidhas, and Meditators from all over Fairfield, Maharishi Vedic 
City, and N. America poured into the Golden Domes of Pure Knowledge and other 
community Group Practice halls, with many staying here ever since. 
 

 “There is nothing more important to our global Movement than the Invincible 
America Assembly,” said Maharishi. Come and celebrate “the most powerful method 
of transforming society that exists - or ever will exist” this Monday after PM 
Group Practice, between the Women’s Dome and the Golden Dome Market, with 
excellent music, food, friends, and fun.

 Hi everyone,
I'm sending this notice to all that I have contacted about the bank of 
sustainability project, the Golden Rule Trust. There is a community wide 
meeting scheduled for Tuesday evening on December 12th at 7:30 pm. The location 
is the Phoenix Rising Hall on the corner of 3rd and Burlington. The most 
significant challenge that we face as humans today I believe is learning the 
strength that we have available in local cooperation, rather than depending on 
the fictional rational that someone else from somewhere else is going to do it 
for us.
An accomplishment that Fairfield still needs to complete lies in having enough 
jobs to support a larger prosperous population. This will be essential for 
attracting and retaining the number of people we would like to see living here. 
A larger population is also critical for maintaining a diversity of cultural 
programs and civic amenities. I personally do not see another viable means of 
making that a reality along with the prosperity that will accompany it 
happening within a reasonable time frame other than having our own bank.
There is a two page summary of the project attached to this email. If there is 
someone that you think will be interested in the project please send it to 
them. I hope to see everyone, or at least all who can possibly come Tuesday 
evening. Thank you for your interest!

illuminating story of the young boy Nachiketas, who visits Yama (God of the 
Underworld) and learns the profound secrets of gaining immortality.

[FairfieldLife] Fw: C. Connoisseurs: World Ramayana Conference Epic Adventures 1 [11 Attachments]

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

 Dear Consciousness Connoisseurs,
It has been a while since I sent out any word on my latest adventures in the 
field of consciousness, but I just returned from a month in India, where I 
presented at the World Ramayana Conference...and that's a story worth telling!
I mainly wanted to send you a video link to my presentation, but before that, 
here's a little bit of background...     Last Fall, I received an invitation to 
speak at the World Ramayana Conference in Jabalpur in December.  The invite 
came out of the blue, and what made it sweeter was that it was an 
all-expenses-paid trip by the Indian government (Indian Council on Cultural 
Relations--ICCR).  There was some irony--a Westerner being brought in by the 
Indian government to speak to Indians on the Ramayana.  Go figure! 
I expected a dry academic conference.  Little did I anticipate the Ramayana 
extravaganza that I would be walking into.  The tip-off came the day before the 
conference, when we got word at our hotel to come over right away to the 
conference facility, a short walk away.  All the streets were blocked off, and 
there was a full military cover guard, complete with armored vehicles, as the 
Chief Minister (comparable to our VP here) had come to inaugurate the event.  
As I walked over, I was garlanded, everyone in the streets greeted me with a 
Jai Shri Ram, and the streets were lined with large images depicting the entire 
story of the Ramayana.
The experience actually went up from there.  The conference turned out to be a 
four-day festival embracing Ramayana-inspired political activism, beautiful 
cultural exhibitions, inspiring spiritual discourses, and world-class 
performances, with an academic conference sandwiched in between.  International 
delegations from countries that adore the Ramayana, such as Thailand, Burma and 
Indonesia, added to the cultural diversity.
The event culminated in one final grand Ram Lila (dance/drama) performance in 
our packed 1500-seat conference hall.  During the finale, Ram and Sita were 
being showered with buckets of flower petals thrown by the other performers.  
In a frenzy of devotion, audience members rushed on to the stage. Grown men and 
women (myself included, of course) were singing, dancing and scooping up and 
throwing flower petals in celebration of Ram's and Sita's triumphant return to 
Ayodhya to create Ram Raj (the enlightened rulership of Ram).
Postscript:  Based on my past experiences,I had never been thrilled about 
visiting India, but this time I finally understood the heart and soul of India. 
 This extraordinary depth of knowledge and devotion is so lively at its very 
core.  I also witnessed that the Ramayana is still a powerful living tradition, 
evoking a vitality, creativity and dynamism that continues to inspire, uplift 
and transform all who come in contact with its wisdom.
I hope that story, along with some of the images below, give you a vicarious 
thrill from this peak experience...
Here's the video link to my 20-minute presentation at the World Ramayana 
Conference:  Ram's Dharma: Leadership Secrets of the Ultimate 
Warrior~Sage~Prince.http://youtu.be/qELXrGHY44o
Qualification: Because the talk was short, I only give the Wholeness, rather 
than going into individual principles...and also the video and audio quality is 
occasionally spotty, but I think you'll get the drift. I refer to a chart in my 
talk, but it is not shown, so I attached it below.
And if this talk intrigues you, click here for a full-length version of the 
talk (90 min) given at MUM's Distinguished Lecture Series last year

[FairfieldLife] Fw: Fwd: Can Fairfield become a garden city? A dahlia city? [10 Attachments]

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

  Show original message 
FW:

Dear FF friends:  I've been growing dahlias in and around Fairfield, Iowa for 9 
years, starting with beds at the Logan apartments and most recently staking 70 
plants on the easements near 5th & Broadway and 6th & Broadway. Some of my 
fellow gardeners have suggested this effort could be expanded and formalized; 
that we could turn the entire city in a big dahlia garden, sort of like Pella 
is now known for its tulips.

This is *not* an expensive project. It's relatively cheap, especially compared 
to other projects that have run into the 10s of millions of dollars. 

To make Fairfield a dahlia city would take no more than a few hundred dollars. 
Maybe a thousand or two, max. Assuming we didn't have to procure any land, 
which we shouldn't.

I've been working mostly on public land and on the MUM campus, but there are 
privately owned lots that would serve just as well.

It's apparent the main issues that must be addressed are:  (1) who will do the 
work  -and-  (2) where will irrigation water come from.  

I've thought about this a little, and maybe you can do the same. While you're 
thinking, have a look at a history of Fairfield's dahlias on the website I've 
set up. It documents what I've been doing myself for 9 years. And there are a 
handful of other gardeners around Fairfield who have been inspired to grow 
dahlias in their own yards. Kate Ross, the Boenders, Colleen Bell, Tim Hart, to 
name a few. So maybe some of us can come together and cooperate to make this 
happen.

Note: the two gardens on the easement I had this past summer will need special 
approval to come back again next spring, as the use of that land is controlled 
by city ordinance.
cheers ... Al Gabis, 52 S. Fifth St., Fairfield, 515-897-5173,

Can in-school meditation help curb youth violence?
- from the Chicago Tribune, January 3  
With all the terrible news about the skyrocketing levels of violence and murder 
coming out from Chicago, today's Chicago Tribune offers some wonderfully 
hopeful news: The Tribune  reports on the dramatic successes of the David Lynch 
Foundation's TM-based Quiet Time program in improving academic performance and 
reducing fear and violence in some of the toughest schools in the most 
crime-ridden areas of Chicago. 

This is the same Quiet Time program that we are offering with equally 
significant results in underserved schools in the Bronx and Brooklyn, 
Washington, DC, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and elsewhere.

Please take a moment to read the article. It truly is good news.

| An Important Message to
 the Fairfield/Maharishi
 Vedic City Community |

  |

   |
|  
|  Please see important P.P.S. at the bottom!Dear Sidhas and Governors of 
Fairfield,The atmosphere in Fairfield and Maharishi Vedic City is much 
enlivened these days with the influx of Sidhas and Governors from around the 
country — and even from other countries — who have come to join us in creating 
coherence in national consciousness during this unusually turbulent election 
period. Wherever we meet them, in the Domes or the square or the supermarkets, 
let’s give them such a warm welcome that they won’t want to leave our oasis of 
happiness.The extra numbers in the flying halls remind us of all those times 
when the Domes were overflowing, and we just felt invincible and blissful 
despite whatever was going on in the world. You’ve probably heard from friends 
that, recently, many in our community are re-discovering group program. They’re 
experiencing anew that special light feeling as you walk out of the Dome after 
program.The current elections are crucial to the future of our nation in many 
ways. It is not just the executive; it is all three branches of government 
which hang in the balance. Let’s use the powerful technology of group program 
that Maharishi gave us to ensure the best possible outcome for the whole 
country.The evidence for the Maharishi Effect continues to mount up. Another 
compelling, new study came out in February of this year, again based on 
publicly available statistics. This is a scientific breakthrough that outstrips 
all others in its power to do good for ourselves, our nation, and our world.Jai 
Guru DevRaja John HagelinP.S. I want to be clear that as a non-profit 
organization, we do not support any one candidate over any other candidate. 
Natural Law, when enlivened by our group practice, will support the best 
outcome for the nation.P.P.S. This does not mean that we, as individuals, do 
not support specific candidates. We do. And we should be sure to exercise our 
civic duty and vote for the candidates we believe will serve the nation in the 
most evolutionary way. |

[FairfieldLife] FW: Local FF Election

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

"All politics is local."  -Tip O'Neill
 

 FW:
 

 Friends –
  
 Please forgive this if you have already received a similar email. I generally 
do not send around candidate endorsements, but I and the undersigned feel 
strongly about our local election. I am not presuming to know what anyone else 
should do; I just wanted to share these opinions.
  
 The County Supervisor election is critical this year. There are two open 
positions, and we get to vote for two people.
  
 We, the undersigned, strongly support Dee Sandquist and Margaret Dwyer.
  
 This breaks some boundaries, admittedly. Marg is a Democrat, and Dee is a 
Republican.
  
 The signers of this letter are from all parties, and many will vote straight 
Democratic in the upcoming national and state races. But partisanship and party 
affiliation are not very relevant for County Supervisors. What’s critical is 
the policies the candidates support, the values they hold, their ability to 
lead, and the directions in which they will lead the county. Marg and Dee 
simply outshine the other candidates on these levels.
  
 The Democrats among us will NOT be checking the "All Democrats" box on our 
ballot, and we urge you to consider doing the same.  We will check the boxes 
for Marg and Dee.
  
 What we need are Supervisors who recognize the threats our county faces, and 
who are willing to step outside the box of conventional, "business as usual" 
thinking. We face a growing onslaught of factory hog farms (CAFOs) and other 
dangers to our quality of life – much of that driven by outside corporate 
interests. We need Supervisors who will make it a top priority to protect our 
soil, water, and air, and to look for sustainable solutions. We also need 
Supervisors who will face the social challenges of our community, including our 
unacceptable levels of hunger and poverty (higher than average in Iowa). And we 
need Supervisors who are committed to Strategic Planning, to create a more 
positive future for all county citizens.
  
 We have the chance now to fundamentally change the alignment of our County 
Board.
  
 Both Margaret Dwyer and Dee Sandquist have genuine concern for our environment 
and our people. They are open to new thinking, and they are committed to 
forging a new vision for Jefferson County.
  
 What about Paul Gandy?  Paul is a Democrat who has only very lately gotten 
involved in local political issues. He has not demonstrated a strong commitment 
to move beyond conventional thinking or to lead the county with a new vision.  
At the candidate forum in September he said that used to have a “knee-jerk 
reaction” against CAFOs, but now his “opinion has changed.” He visited his 
first hog confinement recently and reported that "you could not smell it” even 
from a stone’s throw away.  (The hog operation he visited was small, much too 
small even to qualify as a CAFO, much smaller than those operations that cause 
the most serious problems, but he did not realize or did not acknowledge that 
fact.)  He went on to suggest that farmers know what they are doing, and we 
should generally get out of their way and let them do it. The status quo has 
not been good to Iowa in recent years (as the crisis at the Des Moines 
Waterworks attests), and we need Supervisors who clearly recognize that fact.
  
 What about Lee Dimmitt, the incumbent?  Lee has been very competent 
operationally, but he has shown himself to be committed to the status quo. At a 
public forum in September, for example, when Marg Dwyer asked the audience and 
the panel, "Who would be fine having a CAFO move in next door to you?" Lee 
immediately raised his hand. He tends to work the system as it exists, rather 
than investigating how it needs to be changed and improved.
  
 Dee and Marg are both natural leaders, creative thinkers, and savvy 
bridge-builders. Marg served on the school board for years, and has been a 
successful vice president at Cambridge Investment. Dee directed the Nutrition, 
Diabetes, Weight Management and Wound Care group at a top medical center, and 
is now spearheading the Hunger Dialog coalition in Jefferson County with 
remarkable success.
  
 Something else about Dee: She connects naturally with the rural community as 
well as our urban areas. She is the only candidate who lives in the country. 
She and her husband work a farm that has been in her family for generations, 
and she has a passion for keeping up with the latest research and best 
practices in agriculture. They raise pigs sustainably (selling to Niman Ranch), 
have converted half their fields to non-GMO crops, are experimenting with 
organic crops, and are committed to practices to preserve the soil. This is the 
kind of agricultural orientation that is essential for our county and its 
future.
   
 It’s time move beyond partisan concerns in the Supervisor race, and make the 
best choice for Jefferson County's future.
  
 We hope you will join us in voting for Dee Sandquist and Margaret Dwyer.

Hmmm, according to Barry, Mrs. Rajaram was one step away from bing a swimsuit 
model (“very attractive” was how I think he described her, so much so that she 
would “stand out” in FF.  Note the implied dig.)

She looks more like a bored, frumpy housewife.

| Sustainable living student Kim StrubellWith the help of Charity Seeds, 
families are growing corn and beans in Kenya Kenyan Children helping to 
transport seedlings to the farmGrowing local vegetables such as tree collards 
in Kenya | Kim Strubell — Providing Food Security to Families in Developing 
CountriesMUM student Kim Strubell has practiced the Transcendental Meditation® 
technique for over 40 years and has had many careers, including construction 
and furniture sales. During a business trip to Panama in 2006, Kim witnessed 
the environmental devastation of corporate influence among the indigenous 
population. He decided to turn his attention to sustainability and return to 
school.Kim enrolled in MUM’s sustainable living program and, after receiving 
his undergraduate degree in 2015, continued with the master’s program. “The 
sustainable living program is excellent,” said Kim. “The professors are the 
most important part. We had some teachers that gave us world-class education. 
This program is for change-makers.”Kim has been busy applying what he has 
learned in class. With the help of his son Garrett, he has built an 
off-the-grid, zero net energy home that is surrounded by a small organic farm. 
Six years ago, Kim funded a nonprofit organization called Charity Seeds, along 
with MUM alumna Christina Ring. They are helping small-scale famers become 
self-reliant through sustainable growing methods so that they can feed their 
families.Kim is partnering with John Jeavons’ organization that trains teachers 
in John’s Grow Biointensive Sustainable Mini-Farming methods. These teachers 
recruit the farmers and Charity Seeds provides them with seeds and trains them 
how to save their seeds at the end of the growing season. Over the past six 
years, they have helped install 12,000 small farms in Kenya and Uganda. In 
addition, in those two countries, they are now building gardens and food 
forests around schools and teaching children how to grow their own food.As his 
thesis project, Kim is opening up a new Charity Seeds hub in Ecuador. In 
addition to teaching farmers how to grow food sustainably, his organization is 
also planning to support local artists, who turn seeds into jewelry, by selling 
their hand-made products online. “We will make sure the whole process is 
sustainable and benefits their lives,” said Kim. The project is also planning 
to offer internship possibilities for MUM students in permaculture and 
biodynamic agriculture.  |

[FairfieldLife] Fw: Fwd: Special Jyotish Alert from the Global Council of Jyotish Experts

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

 
-- Forwarded message --
From: Raja John Hagelin 
Date: Mon, Aug 8, 2016 at 2:25 PM
Subject: Special Jyotish Alert from the Global Council of Jyotish Experts



|  |
| Office of the National Director |

 |


| 
| Special Jyotish Alertfrom
the Global Council
of Jyotish Experts |

 |

 |
| 
| Dear Fairfield Sidhas and Governors,Maharishi often reminded us that the main 
purpose of Maharishi Jyotish is to see the clouds on the horizon so we may 
better prepare ourselves for upcoming challenges. On rare occasions, our 
international council of Jyotish experts issues a warning of a particularly 
dangerous time. Such a period is upon us.Building throughout this month of 
August, and culminating in the final week—including the solar eclipse on 
September 1—is a particularly dangerous time of deep divisions, strife, and the 
potential for terrorism and global violence.The October Surprise: A special 
coherence-creating course in FairfieldYou may be aware that we are planning a 
major coherence-creating drive in Fairfield and across the nation during the 
peak of the election season, called The October Surprise. That major effort 
will involve all of us, and will have a much-needed unifying and harmonizing 
effect during the pivotal weeks of our election and immediately following.But 
this does not address the critical Jyotish window that lies immediately before 
us. For this, we will redouble our efforts this month to engage a powerful, 
protective National Yagya. But even more important, as Sidhas, we can create a 
powerful protective influence just by joining with other Sidhas in our Golden 
Domes and other community program facilities. We are very fortunate, in 
Fairfield, to have one of the largest creating-coherence groups in the entire 
world.And the research continues...An ever-expanding body of peer-reviewed, 
published research shows that group practice of the TM-Sidhi® program can 
profoundly reduce crime and negative tendencies across the nation. (The latest, 
and in some respects most remarkable, research on our Fairfield 
coherence-creating group was published just this February.) Let’s take 
advantage of this remarkable scientific reality to bring unity, harmony, and 
maximum support of Nature to this great country of ours—especially at this 
vulnerable time. While our group practice of the Sidhis is by far the most 
important thing we can do for our community and for our nation, there is more 
that we can do for ourselves and families.Suggestions during this delicate time 
from the Maharishi Jyotishis1) Stay rested! Enjoy longer, deeper programs.2) 
Don’t entertain negativity. Don’t get pulled off the Self. Don’t allow yourself 
to be drawn into any potentially divisive conversation. Avoid disharmony. Favor 
the positive. “Speak the Truth which is Sweet.” Keep the channels of 
communication open.3) Enjoy nourishing, delicious, easily digestible food, 
especially leading up to the eclipse. (The eclipse won’t be visible in the US, 
which will mitigate its effects some.)That’s it!  Let us hope that, by 
maintaining ourselves in joy and harmony, and with the power of large group 
program and Yagya, we will able to uplift our entire nation. We have done it 
before, time and again.Warm regards,Raja John

(view enlarged photo)Photos by Everett Day | Two Campus Buildings Receive Major 
UpgradesMaharishi University of Management has reached another milestone in the 
ongoing renovation of campus buildings in line with its 5-year strategic plan. 
The most recent upgrades focused on dormitory Hildenbrand Hall and its neighbor 
Verrill Hall, which now houses classrooms and offices.Hildenbrand Hall, the 
main residence hall for women, was the subject of major mechanical and cosmetic 
transformation. New rooms were created including a kitchen and dining room, 
study rooms, a TV room, a lounge, and a fitness room. “We wanted to create more 
communal living space where students can get together,” said David Todt, chief 
administrative officer.The improvements include the laundry room and bike 
storage with new tile floor, washers, and dryers; a renovated bathroom; newly 
painted and carpeted hallways; and an upgraded meditation room. Many of the 
rooms are decorated with bright and lively colors including the walls, floors, 
curtains, and furniture.The main entrance received a new canopy, landscaping, 
and sidewalk. Two sample student rooms were also renovated with new paint, 
carpet, and furniture. The next phase of improvements is focused on the rest of 
the student rooms, additional bathroom upgrades, and a new roof.“We are all 
inspired by the beautiful renovations taking place at Hildenbrand Hall,” said 
MUM President Dr. Bevan Morris. “We are so grateful to Jeffrey Abramson, Toby 
Lieb, Doug Greenfield, David and Marilyn Todt, and Everett Day for the 
beautiful support they have given and their excellent and lively design. I am 
sure that all the present and future women students of our University will 
enjoy it very much.”A large section of Verrill Hall has also been completely 
renovated, including four classrooms that accommodate the growing Computer 
Science Department and 30 new offices for the Computer Science Department as 
well as other administrative personnel. New windows and skylights, new carpet, 
and upgraded heating and air conditioning make the offices more comfortable. An 
anonymous donor made a substantial gift to fund most of the renovations to 
Verrill Hall.In addition, two science labs were renovated that are used by the 
Health and Physiology Department. The two existing video studios were upgraded 
and a new sound studio was added for the use of the Media and Communications 
Department. |

aromatherapist Ylara Khasla | Angela Seng — Reviving Traditional Herbal 
MedicineAngela Seng grew up in Tucson, Arizona, and prior to coming to MUM she 
worked as manager of an essential oil manufacturing company for several years. 
She didn’t consider going to college until she became interested in holistic 
health and sustainability, and MUM was the perfect choice.Angela majored in 
health and physiology and took the Maharishi AyurVeda Wellness Consultant 
track. She also completed a minor in Sustainable Living and graduated this past 
December. To combine her interests in holistic health and sustainability, 
Angela has been focusing on herbalism and ethnobotany. She completed an 
internship with an herbalist in New York, and as her senior project she has 
compiled a booklet on herbal medicine for women.In addition to being able to 
study her favorite subjects at MUM, Angela says she gained a community of 
friends. “When you are here with the collective goal of growing and expanding 
your heart, your relationships go to another level,” she said. Angela also 
appreciates the experience of stress-free studying. “Transcendental Meditation 
has brought me such peace I never realized could exist,” she said.Angela also 
completed internships at MUM with Dr. Sandy Nidich, helping with data analysis 
and the publication of research papers on the effect of the TM® program on 
inmates. This experience sparked her interest in research and the application 
of it to herbalism. She is currently doing another internship on an herb farm 
in Mount Shasta, California.“Angela was one of the top undergraduate students 
in our program,” said Dr. Sandy Nidich, professor of physiology and health. 
“She has a very bright future as an herbalist and medical researcher.”Angela 
has been accepted into an online master’s program at the American College of 
Healthcare Sciences in complementary alternative medicine, where she will be 
concentrating on herbal medicine. In the future she hopes to start a center 
supporting research and education in traditional herbal medicine and plant 
conservation. |

[FairfieldLife] FW: prayers for CAFO trial verdict

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

Dear Friends,
 Tomorrow (Friday) in Ottumwa is the last day of a month long trial between the 
citizens of Eldon, Iowa and Cargill Corporation, a company that has been 
proliferating CAFO’s (Confined Animal Feeding Operations) in Iowa and 
nation-wide. What happens in the case will influence future attempts to limit 
CAFO’s in Iowa and Jefferson County.
 JFAN attorney, David Sykes is there with 2 experienced CAFO attorneys from out 
of state. Closing arguments will be made tomorrow and then the jury will make a 
decision.
  Pour in light and pray. This first case will set the tone as Iowa moves 
forward with CAFO's. Please increase the purity in the courtroom tomorrow to 
support Truth and Justice for the judge and jury.
 Please pass this request on to everyone you know to get united attention on a 
successful outcome.
 
 Thank you everyone, Mother Nature thanks you also.
 

[FairfieldLife] Fw: Hanuman Comes to MUM Feb. Full Moon Celebration This Sunday [1 Attachment]

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

 Dear All,

It is our great joy to invite you to the Ultimate Flying Club's February Full 
Moon Celebration on Sunday, February 21st, at 8.15​ ​pm in Dalby Hall.
Our topic will be Hanuman, the superb Yogic Flyer, as well as the enlivenment 
of Purushottam -- the government of Nature, in collective consciousness.
The celebration will include a very rare tape -- played only once before in 
Fairfield -- in which Maharishi reaches incredible depths in discussing Yogic 
Flying in terms of the union of silence and dynamism. He unfolds the Hanuman 
quality of consciousness​, with many​ details about this level of experience.
After the tape, Dr. Bevan Morris will explain how the unfoldment of the Hanuman 
quality of consciousness can fulfill the need of this important time in 
history, with a large group (towards 2,000) gathering together in Fairfield for 
Yogic Flying.
Then Dr. Doug​ Birx​, Master Checker of the TM-Sidhi program​,​ will discuss 
Hanuman's inspiration for Yogic Flying, followed by "Dr. Sama" (Dr. William 
Sands), Dean of the College of Maharishi Vedic Science, who will speak on 
generating Purushottam -- the rulership ​quality​ in collective consciousness​ 
- ​through group Yogic Flying.
Come and enjoy the tradition of Full Moon Celebrations in an evening of 
advanced and blissful knowledge of Hanuman the Great and Yogic Flying.
Jai Guru Dev
Dimitrios Karasis & Dr. Peter Freund
​Please See Attached Poster​

P.S.  seems like an appropriate beginning of the Chinese Year of the Monkey...​

[FairfieldLife] Fw: Muslim Mirror: Dr. Javed Jamil talks about his upcoming book, “Muslim Vision of Secular India: Destination & Roadmap”

[devindersingh gulati dgulh...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

I forward this, red flagging a few issue.

"empowerment of Muslims "
> role of Muslims in big business and on social, ideological and political 
> fronts.
> Political empowerment not only includes adequate representation in political 
> institutions but also the ability to influence the direction of the national 
> scene.
Comment:  what is your primary identity? Indian or Muslim?
You fail to empower yourself so long as you do not work on the community to see 
itself as citizen.

"Muslims have three statuses and they must behave as such."
> Constitutionally, they are a significant minority, and they must fight for 
> their rights as minority in a concerted way. 
> ldeologically, they are the second biggest majority and they must influence 
> the ideological direction of the policies of the government in every field, 
> from social and economic to the external affairs. 
 > Socially they are part of the majority, which is deprived in every way.  
 > Unfortunately, they are always  behaving as a minority and have totally 
 > forgotten the other two.
Comment: Constitutionally they are citizens and they must assert citizen 
rights. This means they see themselves as majority Indians i e. deprived 
citizens.

"Who is responsible for the failure"
Comment: the community.

"We need infrastructural not ideological modernization of Madrasas."
> We have to launch an onslaught against the dangerous ideologies, concepts and 
> policies being pursued in the modern world for the sake of political and 
> economic hegemony.
Comment: the writer fails his leadership role in not seeking to reform his 
communal ideology.

"The corporatization of economy and polity has hit the masses in a big 
way."
> Banks, Stock Exchanges, Governmental policies – all have become the vehicles 
> of the flow of the money from the less-moneyed to the more-moneyed. Economic 
> Disparity is increasing leaps and bounds every day. I have demanded 
> introduction of Economic Disparity Index in the budget including General 
> Disparity, Regional Disparity, Urban-Rural Disparity and Community to 
> Community Disparity. I have also called for revamping of the Tax policy with 
> increase in Wealth Tax and decrease in Sales and Income Taxes. Today, the 
> major portions of the Central and States’ revenues come not from those who 
> own 90 pc of the wealth of the country but from those who own less than 10 
> percent. The inflation has to be controlled through a control on the pricing 
> mechanism with focus on proper pricing.
Comment: this is perhaps the only positive statement in the article that 
diserves support. If community to community disparity is observed it could 
point to failure of the poorly performing community to see itself as an 
integral part of the polity.

The writer should begin by stepping into the leadership role he envisages for 
community scholars by advising the community to shed their backward looking 
ideology that is not in step with the nation's constitutional principles of 
equality. This ideology insists on exclusivity (sura 33 of the Koran) that 
should have been constitutionally struck down. The writer is a regressive 
scholar who is suggesting imposition of sharia worldwide when he says foreign 
policy should be influenced by an illiberal minority.

[FairfieldLife] FW: The Need for Yagya

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

“The Vedic routine of life is pure, refined, and free from malicious 
things—Satoguna. The Vedic Pandit performing a Yagya in that balanced state 
easily realizes the resolution that he makes in the beginning of the Yagya.
 “The Pandit makes a resolution (Sankalpa), and then does what is prescribed to 
create that quality of intelligence in his own consciousness from the level of 
Omnipresent Transcendental Consciousness. From there, he produces the desired 
effect in space and time.
 “Larger groups of Vedic Pandits performing Yagyas will take care of all kinds 
of negative trends in society.
 “Every government has to be doing Yagyas. Yagya is not a known word in our 
civilization, and that is why peace and happiness are not known realities in 
this civilization. They do not know where the seat of all harmony, all peace, 
all prosperity, all fullness, and eternity is.”
 
 — Maharishi, May 18, 2005
 

[FairfieldLife] FW: The Importance of Service

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

"Any seva is good, you don’t have to feel guilty. If you cannot financially do 
seva, or physically do seva, even just sending your blessings is good enough. 
Just through thought waves also you can send good vibrations. That also is 
seva. 

I have had many people coming and telling me, "I am so old and so weak, I can’t 
do seva". Their hearts are yearning to do seva, but physically they cannot do. 
I tell them, "Don’t worry, just sit and pray. Bless and send the vibrations of 
positivity. That is also seva". Now the youngsters sitting here, don’t take 
this as an excuse not to do save, and say, "Gurudev has said that I can just 
sit and bless everyone". That is only when you cannot do seva physically. 

It is not what you give that is important, it is the feeling with which you 
give that is important. That itself is seva. You want to keep contributing. The 
feeling that I want to contribute is itself very precious, so let it be there. 
Don’t let it dry out. That is the juice in life to want to be part of something 
big. 

Now, with this, you also need the wisdom of where to give, whom to give and 
what to give. So you have to see who is deserving (patra) and who is 
undeserving (apatra) when you give charity. You need to see whether they are 
really qualified to receive what you want to give them.

Conference in ParisTroy visiting Washington, D.C. with fellow E2 
representativesA solar array outside the Maharishi Patanjali Golden Dome on 
campus, installed by Ideal Energy | Alumni Amy and Troy Van Beek Attend Paris 
Climate SummitMUM Alumni Amy and Troy Van Beek visited the 21st Session of the 
Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate 
Change in Paris last December, representing Ideal Energy. Amy and Troy were 
invited by the National Resource Defense Council (NRDC) as part of the 
Environmental Entrepreneurs (E2) delegation of fifteen business owners. Amy and 
Troy founded Ideal Energy in 2009 with the mission to drive the change towards 
sustainable energy and help businesses and individuals invest in clean energy 
and save money by installing solar arrays. Since 2009, Ideal Energy has become 
one of the largest solar companies in Iowa, with 36 employees.Amy and Troy 
became involved with the NRDC and E2 a few years ago and have been supporting 
clean energy policy in the U.S. by telling their success stories and those of 
their clients. Their mission at the Paris summit was to show the world that 
businesses and investors support action on climate change because it is good 
for the economy and the environment. “Solar energy is one of the fastest 
growing industries in the country,” said Amy. “People want to 
participate.”While Amy is working with the Environmental Protection Agency in 
Iowa on the state’s Clean Power Plan proposal, Troy has visited the White House 
several times to meet with senators and senior presidential advisors. Troy, who 
served in the U.S. Navy for nine years, feels fortunate to be involved with 
national security through renewable energy and resource security.“Most wars are 
fought over lack of resources,” said Troy. “With renewable energy, we are 
creating an abundance of energy. We don’t have to be in a situation of lack, 
and this is changing the politics of the world.”Ideal Energy’s success is 
driven by the Van Beeks’ dedication to clean energy and the environment. They 
are proud that MUM alumni comprise 50 percent of their workforce. “Most of the 
MUM student body are very conscious individuals and they believe that there is 
a different and more conscious way to live in this world,” said Amy.“The 
idealism that MUM has is exactly why we started the company,” Troy said. 
“Sustainability is the manifestation of the consciousness the University 
develops.” |

| There will be a Holiday Potluck Saturday December 26th 11:30am-2:30pm at the 
community room (Gojindy) on the second floor of the Fairfield Parks and Rec 
Center - free and open to the public - all ages welcome.

We hope this will be the first of many potlucks that foster a spirit of 
community, connection, belonging, and self-worth, developing networks of 
inclusion, support and service opportunities at a person to person level.

If your organization would like to participate or host future programs, please 
contact the Fairfield Mental Health Alliance.

This event is inspired by the belief that suicide prevention is everyone's 
business, and that personal and social connections are vital to health and 
happiness and can help prevent suicide.

Every life has value, and every person has a unique contribution to make and 
deserves opportunities for inclusion, support, and supporting others.

The winter can be a time of isolation, feeling lonely or excluded, and having 
greater need for warmth, transportation, food, clothes, money, and more. We 
hope to combat this by bringing people together to have fun and appreciate and 
support one another in a relaxed family atmosphere. Everyone is welcome to  
attend, to offer their gifts, and to state their 
needs.___
Very very last thing - if 7 of us can chip in $5 that will cover the cost of 
the space.

Thanks again. ___ Great source and info from Ken:

[FairfieldLife] Fw: Krauthammer on the Clinton Foundation

[Mike Dixon mdixon.6...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

   
   
Wednesday, October 28, 2015

Charles Krauthammer on Hillary Clinton 
  Recently, Charles  Krauthammer alluded that he had no doubt some of the 
30k emails Hillary deleted from her private  email server very likely had 
references to the Clinton Foundation, which would be illegal and a conflict of 
interest.
 
 The Clinton Foundation is "organized crime" at ts finest, and we are financing 
it.
 
 Here is a good, concise summary of how the Clinton Foundation works as a tax 
free international money laundering scheme.  It may eventually prove to be the 
largest political criminal enterprise in U.S. history.
 
 This is a textbook case on how you hide foreign money sent to you and 
repackage it to be used for your own purposes.  All tax free.  Here's how it 
works:
 
 1. You create  a separate foreign "charity."  In this case one in Canada.
 
 2.  Foreign oligarchs and governments, then donate to this Canadian charity.   
In this case, over 1,000 did  -- contributing mega millions.  I'm sure they did 
this out of  the  goodness of their hearts, and expected nothing in return. 
(Imagine Putin's buddies waking up one morning and  just deciding to send 
untold  millions to a  Canadian charity).
 
 3. The Canadian charity then  bundles these separate donations and makes a 
massive donation to the    Clinton Foundation.
 
 4. The Clinton Foundation and the cooperating  Canadian charity claim Canadian 
law prohibits the identification of  individual donors.
 
 5. The Clinton Foundation then "spends" some of  this  money for legitimate 
good works programs. Unfortunately, experts believe this is on the order of 
10%.  Much of the balance goes to enrich the  Clinton's, pay salaries   To  
untold numbers of  hangers on, and fund lavish travel, etc.  Again, virtually 
all tax free,    which means you and I are subsidizing it.
 
 6. The Clinton Foundation, with access to the world's best accountants, 
somehow  fails to report much  of this on their tax filings.  They discover 
these "clerical  errors"  and begin the process  of re-filing 5 years of tax 
returns.
 
 7. Net result -- foreign money,  much of it from other countries, goes into 
the Clinton's pockets tax free and untraceable  back to the original donor.  
This is the textbook definition  of money  laundering.
 
 Oh, by the way, the Canadian "charity" includes as a principal one Frank 
Giustra.  Google him.  He is the guy who was central to the formation of 
Uranium One,  the Canadian company that somehow acquired massive U.S. uranium 
interests and then sold them to an organization  controlled by Russia. This 
transaction required U.S. State Department approval, and guess who was 
Secretary of State when the approval was granted.  As an aside, imagine how 
former Virginia Governor Bob  McDonnell feels. That poor schlep is in jail 
because he and his wife took $165,000 in gifts and loans for doing minor favors 
for a guy promoting a vitamin company.  Not legal but not exactly putting U.S. 
security t risk.
 
 Sarcasm aside, if you're still not persuaded this was a  cleverly structured 
way to get unidentified foreign money to the Clinton's, ask yourself this:
 
 Why did these foreign  interests funnel money through a Canadian charity? Why 
not donate directly to the Clinton  Foundation?  Better yet, why not donate  
money directly to the people, organizations and  countries in need?
 
 This is the essence of money laundering and influence peddling.
 
 Now you know why Hillary's destruction of 30,000  e-mails was a risk she was 
willing to take.
 
 Bill and Hillary are devious, unprincipled, dishonest and criminal, and they 
are Slick!   Warning:  They could be back in the White House in January 2017.  
Don't let it happen.  Remember, most people are not well informed.  You must 
inform and educate them.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Fw: Fwd: Free talk: Speaking and listening from the heart

[olliesed...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

Yes, they used to call it having good manners.:-) I don't understand how 
communication can be violent, unless someone is holding a weapon, or about to 
assault someone else. It sounds like a bit of hyperbole. Also, when did my 
choice to respond peacefully, forcefully, humorously, or silently, go away? Is 
this outside influence of 'violent speech' so difficult to ignore, or modify?  

 This NVC process is a good reminder, and if it helps some towards 
self-awareness, fine, though like most teaching, the real knowledge comes from 
applying it in real world situations according to our own personalities, and 
looking at the results. That is a natural result of maturity, anyway.

 Platitudes?  Actually NVC  { non violent communication } provides skill sets

 It is very practical as to living well and working well with people.  Seems to 
be something the millennial generation is more attuned to and work at in their 
lives.  
 

 Do a You-tube search on Non violent communication and listen to some of the 
clips from NVC.  Is very much a how to. A lot like the yahoo-groups guidelines 
are conceived.  Very thoughtful and practical and applicable.

I agree. I have a lot of respect for Marshall Rosenberg, who pioneered NVC. 
Many people are not even aware of how "violent" their communication is. 
Rosenberg has done a huge amount of good work.

 Do a You-tube search on Non violent communication and listen to some of the 
clips from NVC.  Is very much a how to. A lot like the yahoo-groups guidelines 
are conceived.  Very thoughtful and practical and applicable.

Yep it seems the students have an ulterior motive, bringing this in to help 
change the movement's culture of the elders on campus. 
 

"NVC begins by assuming that we are all compassionate by nature and that 
violent strategies—whether verbal or physical—are learned behaviors taught and 
supported by the prevailing culture. NVC also assumes that we all share the 
same, basic human needs, and that each of our actions are a strategy to meet 
one or more of these needs."

Subject: Reminder - JFAN meeting, Wed., 7:15 pm



|  |
| 
|  | Dear Community,I strongly urge you to join me at the Annual Meeting of the 
Jefferson County Farmers and Neighbors, Inc. (JFAN), “More CAFOs Are Coming – 
What YOU Can Do.” This year’s meeting, to be held on Wednesday, October 7, at 
7:15 pm at the Fairfield Arts & Convention Center, has been especially designed 
to address the increasing number of CAFOs converging on Jefferson County and 
across Iowa, with community organizing and activism as the meeting’s core 
purpose. Attending the JFAN Annual Meeting is one of the most important things 
we all can do to protect our community’s interests against infringing CAFOs. 
When we show up in force to pack the Sondheim, our solidarity sends a powerful 
message to the pork industry that our community will not tolerate unwanted 
CAFOs. At this year’s empowering meeting, seasoned CAFO fighter Joe Maxwell, 
Senior Political Director of the Humane Society Legislative Fund, will present 
practical strategies to help us all fight back against unwanted CAFOs, 
including a menu of concrete actions that any of us can take, no matter where 
we live or what our interests may be. As a former Missouri legislator, Maxwell 
will speak on what it takes to get people politically motivated to demand 
better protections and to stand up for our basic human rights to clean air, 
clean water, and safe food. And because we can all influence change with our 
spending dollars, Maxwell will place special emphasis on becoming an Activist 
Consumer. He is a powerful orator that you will not want to miss.Maxwell grew 
up on a family farm and is a long-time advocate for humane, independent, 
traditional farming practices. He served for 14 years in the Missouri State 
Legislature as a State Representative, State Senator, and Lt. Governor. Four 
years ago he joined the Humane Society to oversee its Rural Outreach program. 
He has been a powerful advocate for traditional family farming practices while 
fighting against large-scale, industrialized livestock facilities. JFAN has 
worked tirelessly for over a decade to protect our community against CAFOs—but 
no community is safe today from the expansion of corporate pork production. If 
protecting our precious Fairfield community from CAFO infringement is as 
important to you as it is to me, I strongly urge you to attend this year’s JFAN 
Annual Meeting. It’s an easy and enjoyable way to do something positive, and 
frankly very necessary, for the security and well-being of us all.Please mark 
your calendar for October 7 and join me at the Sondheim Theater for “More CAFOs 
Are Coming – What YOU Can Do.” Thank you in advance for your attendance and 
support.With all best wishes,John Hagelin, Ph.D.P.S. Please note that the JFAN 
Annual Meeting begins a little earlier this year at 7:15 pm. |  |

Thanks Doug. I don't want to imply that those like "Karl" (Whose piece I have 
yet to read...) may not be entirely objective in their assessment, though it is 
much more valuable in any case to hear your direct observations.

 Yes, I've walked around inspecting the Dome several times the last few weeks. 
It is fine. I am not concerned. I have done that kind of work and they are 
doing fine. The structure is easy to work on. Some kids were around traveling 
with the crew but not handling or applying the material. For the type of work 
and type of applicator you don't necessarily need respirators. You apply it 
from the up wind side. The report by Karl seems overblown concern. The 
facilities people at the university researched options for the job and found a 
company that would give a 10 year guarantee on the work. The previous 
contractor the last time the roofing job was done is not around.

 I don't know about the bash fest but I certainly had the thought that this one 
post about someone's (Karl's, presumably) concerns about carcinogenic dome 
materials and underage, under protected, underpaid workers is unsubstantiated 
at this point. It wouldn't be hard to do a little detective work in the space 
of 24 hours to find out if any of it is true. Certainly, if I was in FF and 
worried about it I would have already started finding facts out. Has anyone 
here done that at all?

Thanks for this - I read most of the MUM Strategic Plan, and it is on par with 
any corporate annual report. I appreciated the level of detail, such as a line 
item budget, and reasonable growth expectations. The level of detail is 
appropriate too, so that this could be used as a working document to get 
started.

 Has anyone thought to actually get in an air quality control professional who

contaminants? This isn't rocket science and as administrator or someone 
associated with the place I would insist on it. It is only responsible to do so 
and is a no brainer given the fact you are offering a facility to the public

a bug in the ear of non MUM officials in town whose job it might be to inspect 
these places? Blow the whistle, so to speak, given real concerns about not only 
the engineering but the health issues this would be incumbent on someone to do 
so. Hell, I'll do it! I'm good at raising a little hell...LOL

 It seems the only way to counter such a situation is to create a management 
group, paid real-world wages to maintain the property. The current unbalanced 
attitude of all the attention on managing the knowledge, with little thought 
given to the infrastructure, isn't working. Though in order to create the will 
to move forward, the larger issue as you say, is to get past the politics, 
which in any spiritual or religious organization, are incredibly entrenched. 
 

 Good points. Also, when it is all insider goings on it is hard to move beyond 
not only the party line but with the need to keep things looking okay dokey you 
don't want some outsider coming along and sounding any alarm with regards to 
the fact you might have to have a giant overhaul of some aspect of your 
structure, let alone tell people they might come down with some preventable 
disease within the next few years.
 

 Revolutionary movements don't attract good administrators. It is a different 
skill set, and during phase two, once the the change is established, and the 
prime leader gone, such movements, both political and spiritual, have been 
historically prone to the sort of dictatorship now evident at MUM. Dr. Nader 
though very well meaning, is too academically oriented to take on the COO 
(Chief Operations Officer) role, though that is the position needed now, with 
the will to support it.

 Good observation about administration of spiritual orgs.  I was at a meeting 
last night that was all about mitigating this.  A clear and present danger that 
is a real problem for the survival of the university [and Domes] is with a 
character of a few conservative belief-based ideologues that occupy key 
position.  The metrics for a very long time for the university are all about 
attrition.  This is about the toxicity of movement culture and it is getting 
down to an urgent point of survival of the very university if people don't

I am curious if the world outside the various Movement environs, is still

It seems the only way to counter such a situation is to create a management 
group, paid real-world wages to maintain the property. The current unbalanced 
attitude of all the attention on managing the knowledge, with little thought 
given to the infrastructure, isn't working. Though in order to create the will 
to move forward, the larger issue as you say, is to get past the politics, 
which in any spiritual or religious organization, are incredibly entrenched.  

 Revolutionary movements don't attract good administrators. It is a different 
skill set, and during phase two, once the the change is established, and the 
prime leader gone, such movements, both political and spiritual, have been 
historically prone to the sort of dictatorship now evident at MUM. Dr. Nader 
though very well meaning, is too academically oriented to take on the COO 
(Chief Operations Officer) role, though that is the position needed now, with 
the will to support it.

They've tried various methods over the years to remedy the air in the ladies' 
dome. Many years ago, we donated money for large ozone generators to be 
installed that would be run when the dome was empty and shut off an hour or two 
before program. But, certain individuals completely lost their shit that ozone 
was being used at all, regardless of the reality that it wouldn't be present by 
program time, and I'm pretty sure that method was ultimately discontinued. And, 
I'm not sure it did all that much, anyway.

As for the men's dome, they may have changed the entrance setup, but that 
basement still exists underneath it. The air handling equipment may have been 
massively upgraded, but it's still down there in the basement. Has anything 
been done to prevent mold from growing down there? Doug?

This would actually be going against the *culture* of theTMO. Loyalty would be 
challenged. If you think going to see another guru is Verboten, try calling 
OSHA on the TMO! You would instantly be the Judas of the movement. Am I wrong 
or am I just too *negative*? Really, I like Maharishi and TM but in Kali yuga 
*everything* is tainted!

 They've tried various methods over the years to remedy the air in the ladies' 
dome. Many years ago, we donated money for large ozone generators to be 
installed that would be run when the dome was empty and shut off an hour or two 
before program. But, certain individuals completely lost their shit that ozone 
was being used at all, regardless of the reality that it wouldn't be present by 
program time, and I'm pretty sure that method was ultimately discontinued. And, 
I'm not sure it did all that much, anyway.

As for the men's dome, they may have changed the entrance setup, but that 
basement still exists underneath it. The air handling equipment may have been 
massively upgraded, but it's still down there in the basement. Has anything 
been done to prevent mold from growing down there? Doug?

Good observation about administration of spiritual orgs.  I was at a meeting 
last night that was all about mitigating this.  A clear and present danger that 
is a real problem for the survival of the university [and Domes] is with a 
character of a few conservative belief-based ideologues that occupy key 
position.  The metrics for a very long time for the university are all about 
attrition.  This is about the toxicity of movement culture and it is getting 
down to an urgent point of survival of the very university if people don't 
change. 

 That though is different than this re-roofing the Domes.  Re-roofing the Domes 
is a tip of an iceberg underneath.  -JaiGuruYou!

 Very short-sighted. Though the folks who have the responsibility to spread TM

generally piss poor at this kind of boring, sustainable activity, since the

'spiritual administration' degree offered in schools, so the requirements for 
managing things are very subjective, often dependent on who the leader favored, 
vs. competence. Last, there may be some magical thinking going on, or at least

 Question- What is the toxic substance being used? How long is it toxic for? 
Does it dissipate? Is there a better ,longer lasting, cost effective substance 
to use? Is the *organic* mold in the domes any less toxic? How old are the 
Amish workers? Are they currently out of school and doing summer work? Are they 
union? Are they undercutting union workers?
 

 I would imagine the substance being used on the domes is some sort of sealer 
and wood preserver, among other things, and that would mean some sort of either 
creosote or petroleum product as in tar. These things are carcinogenic, as are 
a multitude of other products including glues, foams etc. Unfortunately, 
undertaking a heavy duty roofing job has to include toxic materials as I don't 
believe the Iowa weather is conducive to banana leaves or palm fronds providing 
adequate cover over a shelter. On the other hand, workmen should be adequately 
protected against these fumes and other ways in which these waterproofers and 
sealers can get all over you. To be working without respirators and adequate 
suits and gloves would be idiotic and most likely against the law.

You're right, summer of '93, thank you. That's when we first started building 
our house out in the country, but the year that stands out in my mind is 1994, 
when we first moved in.

 I haven't been in the dome in 21 years, and it was the mold that finally drove 
me out of there. It was the summer of '94, when we had the huge Midwest floods, 
and water was flowing into the basement of the men's dome like a sieve because 
they had originally just pushed dirt up against the foundation without applying 
any kind of waterproofing or drains. I'd walk in the door, and my lungs would 
freeze up; so, I'd take a deep breath, walk in, kick off my shoes, and head 
upstairs, where the air was better. But, I kept coming out of program with 
headaches. At that point, the only reason I went to the dome was Petra 
insisting on it, and I finally put my foot down and kicked my flying wings to 
the curb.

As for the dome, itself, my recollection is that on top of all that beautiful 
woodwork is foam insulation (probably sprayed on) and topped with some kind of 
protective membrane. I doubt there's much in the way of new-age hippy roofing 
material that could be used on such a structure.
