Re: [FairfieldLife] Respite from Climate wreckage: Come to Fairfield, Iowa

when the Invincible America Assembly had high number hurricanes ceased to be a 
problem for the USA, even the TM org does not talk of an invincible america 
anymore. Unless you have not read Doug's often expressed concern here  there is 
not much ME to speak of in America for quite some time now.

Now comes, Hurricane Irma..

Out in the sun-baked waters of the Atlantic there is a named category 
three/four hurricane raging.  As it passes Cuba and Haiti it may go into the 
gulf or turn right and go up the direction of the East coast, may be crossing 
Florida or up the Eastern seaboard, to New York.   Stay tuned to the weather. 

Prepare to evacuate, to Fairfield, Iowa.

In California they are having both extreme weather and perils of geology 
pending too: 

With 8 threatening volcanoes, USGS says California deserves close monitoring


While Mount Shasta unsurprisingly tops USGS's list of very-high threat 
volcanoes in California, there are seven other volcanic areas in the state that 
are also young, nervy, jacked up on magma and "likely to erupt."

I won't disagree with you there.  Seems to me that Fairfield has a lot going 
for it as a robust and open-minded community with diverse interests and a range 
of economic opportunities.  

The word "spiritual" always amuses me.  Re: "for spiritual people."  How do you 
define "spiritual?"

You are right, that particular place up there has but a narrow application to a 
few but being in the community of meditating Fairfield, Iowa for the length of 
recovery of these stormy places and times would make for a fabulous place of 
respite, refuge, a retreat or a place to come and live for spiritual people. 
Fairfield, Iowa is a place of tremendous spiritual practice.

I believe that climate change is bringing rising sea levels and contributing to 
worsening weather and storms that will continue to ravage coastal cities.  
However, Iowa is not exempt from extreme weather conditions or climate change. 
A monster tornado might roll through your town one day (I understand that TMers 
believe in the ME as a means to prevent this.)  

Housing that you are offering below as an idea for those TMers hit by an 
emergency is not realistic.  Did you look at the application?  Who is your 
first teacher?  What is their phone number and email?  Who is your second 
teacher? What is their phone number and email?  Who is your MUM contact, as an 
alternative?  When did you start TM? Sounds like there has to be a real 
evaluation of credibility to qualify.

5 million people on the move looking for respite,

Rising sea-levels..   By the end of the century, the list says, more than 50 
cities with populations of more than 100,000 could be affected. Cities like 
Boston; Fort Lauderdale, Florida; and four of the five boroughs of New York 
will be considered inundated. Although the West Coast seems to be spared the 
brunt of inundation over the next few decades, even places like San Francisco 
and Los Angeles will be on the list by 2100.

Residents of roughly 500 cities across the US will be faced with the same 
choices by the end of the century: whether to mitigate or to abandon their 
homes.
