RE: [FairfieldLife] Re: Guru Purnima: the Raja class..
Irony here is that the decisions for the fate of the Domes will be made by a bunch of people who do not go to the Domes to meditate, don’t even live in Fairfield. Colonialism is the policy of a nation seeking to extend or retain its authority over other people or territories, generally with the aim of opening trade opportunities. The colonising country seeks to benefit from the colonized country or land mass. Q: Do they stand a chance of finding the money? -Dr. L. A: Dear Dr. L.: is hard to know what they think, or are doing. Is a classic (extractive) colonial empire situation with the movement’s leadership. Mostly they do not live here in the Fairfield, Iowa community, are living somewhere else. Yes we few as practicing meditators are subject to and suffer their rule with very little to say in it. Some of them visit periodically as fiduciary (corporate) duty might call them to Fairfield. But theirs is a vast empire. Theirs is a realm way way above most everyone’s pay grade here. What is evident is that they are pressed on what all they would like to do on all levels by budget. Hence, the late pundit program in M. Vedic City. Inflow of money from the bottom in initiations is meager and conflicted. Donors are disappeared. Incredible number of people with retirement means have sold their homes here, moved on and away with their lives and resources. And, apparently the vast sums that were once raised 15 years ago here were converted and walked away to India as gold going off-books in some ways there. In earnest altruism a faithful high-minded group inside carry on. It is getting very thin here. Most mornings there are around 170 men in the Dome meditation. Around 200 in the evenings.

One could be surprised from how far away posts to FFL get read and read by whom. And, relevant posts do get forwarded out to relevant folks also. At times in the history of FFL the considerations here have gotten important traction. That is okay and partly, for lack of access otherwise, is an avenue of how things work in the movement community as a type of check and balance. So it is.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Guru Purnima: the Raja class..
Shrijau I love you, you are so courageous. It seems the TM movement and its community is what it is, evidently. Did you see the anthropology research paper that was written and published in Communal Societies about the TM movement and Fairfield? Inside the last third of the paper are introduced tools in the social sciences study of ‘schismosis’ as a means of looking at us. It seems a fair critic. That part could be noteworthy reflection for open minds inside the movement now to consider in going forward with the enterprise of ‘the teaching’. Jai Guru You Srijau writes: ..problems of caste and class in America certainly have less than nothing to do with the structure of the TM movement. You can only claim so ignorantly by engaging in the kind of empty and divisive rhetoric that Donald Trump uses.

You are an endless blame and complainer who never tires of inventing divisions and problems where there are none.
