New post on Buddha at the Gas Pump http://s.wordpress.com/i/emails/blavatar-default.png http://batgap.com/?author=1 http://batgap.com/prajna-ana/ 155. Prajna Ana by http://batgap.com/?author=1 Rick http://batgap.com/prajna-ana/prajna-headshot/ Prajna Ana lives in Asheville, North Carolina. Although she does not prescribe to any dogma or religious structure, she honors the timeless wisdom within them all. It is from this space of openness where she invites you to un-know and discover the truth for yourself. Prajna is author of http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1480041947/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8tag=budatthegaspu-20linkCode=as2camp=1789creative=9325creativeASIN=1480041947 Dying Into This and founder of http://www.lampoftheheart.org Lamp of the Heart http://www.lampoftheheart.org . About Dying Into This We have reached a critical stage in our evolution. What is being asked of us now is to relate to each other from a higher state of consciousness, one born of love and compassion. Dying Into This offers a very practical, accessible message of transformation through love. Written outside of the confines of any religion, order, or philosophy, its clear message simply helps the reader to recognize their innate wisdom. The book supports and cultivates the goodness of each individual by reminding them of their true heart, thereby restoring a deep connection to all of life. Only once we each get in touch with that can any real, positive change happen. “It is undeniable how connected we all are – to God, to self, and to each other. Once this is seen, we move from love – and that is how we will transform the world – one heart at a time.’ – Prajna Ana Interview recorded 12/29/2012 Video and audio below.

[FairfieldLife] Amma on Delhi rape/murder
Amma posted an article which was printed in the New Indian Express paper, regarding the Delhi tragedy. She spoke on this subject at her satsang just before leaving on the N. India tour. http://newindianexpress.com/lifestyle/spirituality/article1407336.ece Women, break your shackles and awaken By Mata Amritanandamayi06th January 2013 12:00 AM Amma wishes to express her deep sorrow about the recent trend of men in our country to trample women underfoot as pleasure-giving objects, with no consideration of human values. Is this country that taught unique and divine thoughts such as worshipping God as Mother, seeing God Consciousness in everything and showing tolerance to the world, now becoming a land of asuric, demonic minds? The latest atrocity was the most brutal physical and emotional abuse that a young girl in Delhi had to go through, which finally claimed her life. No one can question the reality of motherhood—that man is created from woman. Yet those who refuse to come out of the cocoon of their narrow minds will never be able to comprehend this—you cannot explain light to those who only know darkness. Who should awaken woman? What obstructs her awakening? The truth is that no external power can possibly obstruct woman or her innate qualities of motherhood—qualities such as love, empathy and patience. It is she—she alone—who has to awaken herself. A woman’s mind is the only real barrier that prevents this from happening. The rules and superstitious beliefs that degrade women, continue to prevail in most countries. The primitive customs invented by men to exploit and subjugate women remain alive to this day. Women and their minds have become entangled in the cobweb of those customs. An elephant can uproot huge trees with its trunk. When an elephant living in captivity is still a calf, it is tethered to a tree with a strong rope. The calf elephant tries with all its might to break the rope. When its efforts prove futile, it finally gives up. Later, when the same elephant is fully grown, it can be tethered to any small tree with a thin rope. It could easily free itself by uprooting the tree or breaking the rope. But because its mind has been conditioned by its prior experiences, it does not make the slightest attempt to break free. This is what is happening to women. The infinite potential inherent in man and woman is the same. If women really want to, they can easily break the shackles of the rules and conditioning that society has imposed on them. A woman’s greatest strength lies in her innate motherhood, in her creative, life-giving power. This power can help women bring about a far more significant change in society than men can ever accomplish. In today’s world, where everything is being contaminated and made unnatural, women should take extra care that her qualities of motherhood—her essential nature as a woman—don’t become contaminated and distorted. Yet, whether woman or man, one’s real humanity comes to light only when the feminine and masculine qualities within one are balanced. India has had such a great legacy of women who have contributed to all spheres of development in society; may it be warriors, teachers, spiritual luminaries, musicians or social workers. Though not acknowledged enough in our history books or in the social media, their contribution has been prolific. This legacy has to continue and grow with time. The forthcoming age should be dedicated to awakening universal motherhood. Women everywhere have to actualise the qualities of motherhood within themselves. This is the only way to realise our dream of peace and harmony. And it can be done! It is entirely up to us. Let us remember that real leadership is not to dominate or to control, but to serve others with love and compassion, and to inspire women and men alike through the example of our lives. Let us all pray that cruel minds, which denigrate women, be transformed. May the Paramatma help them to follow our rich tradition, and respect the women of this country and all other countries. The writer is a world renowned spiritual leader * * * * * * * * * The more Love you give, the more your heart is filled with Love. Love is like a never ending stream. -Amma

[FairfieldLife] New post on Buddha at the Gas Pump - Cesar Teruel
New post on Buddha at the Gas Pump http://s.wordpress.com/i/emails/blavatar-default.png http://batgap.com/?author=1 http://batgap.com/cesar-teruel/ 154. Cesar Teruel by http://batgap.com/?author=1 Rick http://batgap.com/cesar-teruel/cesar/ At the age of 4 or 5 I was already feeling puzzled and confused by human behavior. At the age of 11, due to the discovery of the identity of my real mother, I lost respect and credibility for human culture and there arose in me an urge to understand the unreasonable behavior of humans. The search for truth started in the streets and I went through multiple phases: drugs, alcohol, religion, shamanism, spiritism, politics, revolution and spirituality. I didn’t find anything there but brief moments of tranquility - nothing permanent and tangible that could be called THE TRUTH - so I decided to find the truth for my self by my self. But I couldn’t, so I surrendered. And there and then I realized there is nothing to understand. In an instant, the clarity of this truth was there in such an obvious way and interpreted intellectually in this way: the one that perceives, the act of perceiving and what is perceived are one and the same. Separation simply does not exist. There is nothing to understand or to attain. There is only the totality. Life is an indivisible unit. http://www.cesarteruel.com/ Cesar's website Interview recorded 12/22/2012 Audio below and as a http://itunes.apple.com/podcast/buddha-at-the-gas-pump/id359034195 Podcast.

[FairfieldLife] More on Trigunaji
Our most beloved great, great embodiment of Ayurveda - Padma Bhushan Vaidya Brihaspati Dev Triguna-ji joined Maharishi-ji in the Heavens today, January 1, 2013, evening time in Delhi. Maharishi used to rise from his seat when Triguna-ji entered the Hall - a very rare sign of reverence. Triguna-ji every so often presented Maharishi with the Amrit Kalash, Nectar of of immortality, in a ceremonial way, giving it to Maharishi to distribute it to everyone in the world. Triguna-ji was profoundly revered by people from all walks of life around the world. Dr. Anand Shrivastava writes: Around Maharishi there were many great seers, called rishis in Vedic wisdom. The very word Maharishi means the greatest of great seers, one who sees truth. Of all the luminaries Maharishi gathered around him in the early 1980s to delve deep into the ayurvedic texts, there are three that he honored as rishis in the field of ayurveda: Dr. B.D. Triguna, Dr. Balaraj Maharishi, and Dr. Dwivedi. These three master vaidyas (ayurvedic experts) are revered in India as custodians of this precious knowledge of life, and they made many invaluable contributions that ensured the authenticity and effectiveness of our products. Dr. Brihaspat DevTriguna is considered the foremost authority in the area of pulse diagnosis and in the uses of minerals and herbs for bringing imbalance back into balance. Just by feeling the pulse, he can tell the past health history of a person and what could happen to that person's health in the future. And based on that pulse diagnosis he will recommend taking certain herbs or products and make certain changes in diet. In this way he helps people bring balance into their life. Dr. Triguna is a master of the ayurvedic texts. I have been very fortunate to read his books of ayurvedic scriptures, and have seen that they are marked with lines, colors, and other notes beside passages that he wanted to remember. For any health problem, he would take out a text and know the verse that contained the solution. He would go deeply into the texts, explaining how this problem comes and what are the ways this problem can be handled. With his tremendous knowledge, he is a great personality in this area, and MAPI has been very fortunate to receive his blessings. A famous doctor in India, Dr. Triguna has served as the president of the All-India Ayurvedic Congress and as the personal vaidya to the prime president of India. In 2003 Dr. Triguna received the second highest civilian honor from the government of India, the Padma Vibhushan Award. Dr. Triguna also treats hundreds of poor people who flock to his clinic every day. Many times I saw Triguna treat people whose doctors had told them their disease was incurable. He gave them herbal powders, liquid decoctions or herbal tea, and the person would get better. From reading the reports by medical doctors, we saw that they were surprised. Many of these authentic, traditional formulas are now offered by Maharishi Ayurveda Products International. This is just a small part of the invaluable contribution made to MAPI by Dr. B.D. Triguna, one of the greatest ayurvedic rishis of our times.

Anita Moorjani by http://batgap.com/?author=1 Rick http://batgap.com/anita-moorjani/anita-moorjani-2/ Anita was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and doctors told her family she was just hours away from death. It was at this point that she “crossed over” and then returned again into this world with a clearer understanding of her life and purpose on earth. This understanding subsequently led to a total recovery of her health. Anita was born in Singapore of Indian parents, moved to Hong Kong at the age of two, and has lived in Hong Kong most of her life. Because of her background and British education, she is multi lingual and, from the age of two, grew up speaking English, Cantonese and two Indian dialects simultaneously, and later learned French at school. She had been working in the corporate field for many years before being diagnosed with cancer in April of 2002. Her fascinating and moving near-death experience in early 2006 has tremendously changed her perspective on life. Her work is now ingrained with the depths and insights she gained while in the other realm. She works on the premise that our inner world (consciousness) is our primary reality, and if our internal state is healthy and strong, then our external world will align itself and fall into place as a result. She is the embodiment of the truth that we all have the inner power and wisdom to overcome even life’s most adverse situations, as she is the living proof of this possibility. http://anitamoorjani.com Anita's website Interview recorded 12/8/2012 Audio below and as a http://itunes.apple.com/podcast/buddha-at-the-gas-pump/id359034195 Podcast.

[FairfieldLife] Reflections on Dec 21
From the friend of a friend of a friend: Reflections on the events of Dec 12, 2012 As the Global Mother Divine director for Guatemala, I thought I’d pass on some reflections I had from the events on December 21 this year in Monte Alban. I don’t really know that much about it and certainly shouldn’t be taken as an authority. Much of this is just what I have gleaned from glimpses I have gained while trying to keep in touch with it in spare moments over the last few years. The first part is meant to be fact. I hope I’ve got all the details at least mostly right. Many of you may know most of this and more. The Mayans never actually thought that Dec 21 was going to be the end of the world. In fact, until 2010 the Mayans never even talked about the ending of their calendar at all. The Mayans are, in general, quite happy and comfortable to stay to themselves. Not many are welcome into their world and very few ever leave. So there has not been much communication of what they believe or don’t believe, until the last couple of years, with anyone. But more than a decade ago some Mayans apparently did come to the US to college here and mentioned that their calendar ended on Dec 21. They had no idea what that meant or what was going to happen after that. So the Judeo-Christian apocalyptic habit of thinking in this country turned it into the end of the world. And that concept went around the world. EVERYONE around the world, as far as I can tell from my travels and living with so many of other cultures, knew that Dec 21 was ‘The Day’. But 2 years ago, the Mayan elder who is the Prophesy Keeper and Day Keeper, Don Alejandro, did start to talk about the end of the calendar, and in order to quell the fear, he did go as public as possible with the help of new age friends through internet and travels to other countries. His message was, ‘Don’t be afraid! The world is not going to end. It is the end of the current cycle of time and the beginning of a new one.’ The ending cycle started about 5000 years ago, about the time Kali Yuga started. The thing that amazes me was that he describes it in the same way and even with the same words that Maharishi describes the new age he worked towards for so many decades. Don Alejandro said the new time will be Heaven on Earth (those words were used on the internet, at least), a time of peace and harmony, where there will be no sickness or suffering. It will be a time when people will fly through the air like clouds. The world will be without boarders, and everyone will be able to travel anywhere without passports. He described it as a beautiful new time to very much look forward to. He also predicted that the day would be like any other day, like New Years eve. A new year is beginning, but it doesn’t feel immediately any different from the old year. These are prophesies that, as I understand it, have been around for 5000 years, but have been passed on from father to son, or keeper to keeper, silently. The Mayan people didn’t even really know. No one did until 2 years ago. There is no TM Movement in Guatemala, no local teachers. Raja Louis imported two Spanish Governors to teach there a number of years ago, and they have been knocking on doors, and knocking on doors for many years, and for so long found the doors all locked. Finally they found some openings, and finally they reached the Mayan elders. I have no idea how long it took for the elders to ‘get’ what the Governors were saying, but when they finally did, the response was kind of like, ‘Come in! We’re expecting you! This TM will eliminate disharmony in collective consciousness? It will create peace? Please, tell us what to do. You can teach us to fly? All the children should learn? Yes. We will start now.” Once it started, there was no stopping it. Last July, on Guru Purnima some Mayans had learned the practice (I forget, maybe a few thousand?). But there was no inkling that it was going to turn into what it is now, 6 months later, with 8,000 students practicing yogic flying every day at the same time in Mexico and Guatemala. After the demonstration on Dec 21, a contract was signed with the Minister of Education of Mexico for 69,000 students to learn the practice. It was pretty amazing how Nature organized it. The flying block for 5,000 quite spontaneously and naturally ended on Dec 20 and that was the last day of school for the winter holidays. They wanted to have a graduation ceremony, so they decided to have it at a traditional holy spot of their people. Most of the children had never been there before. So it kind of happened that all the students that money was raised for, went to Monte Alban to practice Yogic Flying together on Dec 21, 2012. It was a new beginning. Even though school is out, no one goes anywhere. From now on all the children will do their program together every day of the year whether or not school is in session,

RE: [FairfieldLife] Re: Same Sex Marriage Is a Crime Against Humanity
A friend of mine got kicked off campus in the 80’s (expelled – he was a student) because he was openly, somewhat flagrantly gay. These days he’s in the good graces of the movement and doing a lot to help in various ways. Charlie Lutes used to claim that Maharishi had made dire predictions about the fate of gay people, such as “it would be better had they never been born”. I don’t know much more than that.

The gross effect if not checked is the collapse of society. For example, many of the countries in Europe are losing population and are not replacing those who have died. As such, there will be no young people who could take over the jobs of the country which would contribute to the loss of productivity, or at worst the collapse of society. This trend has not yet reached this level of concern in the USA. But it is worth watching what would happen in Europe.

[FairfieldLife] posting for someone
Ordinarily I don't like to play middleman, but someone asked me to post this, and in a weak moment, I said yes: I came up with an idea of what's opposite of the Unified Field. Since in John Hagelin's (a world reknowned quantum physicist) work he says the Unified Field is pure knowledge, I imagine the opposite would be not-knowingness. Also since the Unified Field is everything I imagine the opposite would be Nothing. However this nothing is something as it would have to be manifest with boundaries. I haven't come up with the answers to this yet but somehow it is still connected to the Unified Field. Also this is way out there but in Meta-physics they talk about polarities in the universe, Love and Fear; Love being all there is and fear being false evidence appearing real. However, this fear, would still be something as a concept. Once again in Hagelin's work he refers to Hidden Sector matter being what thoughts are made out of. Maybe this is how the nothing gets created. This is totally intellectual, but, if nothingness (Shain McVay Matter) was from a concept, maybe that's created from John Hagelin's hidden sector matter idea. (You can find this on the internet). Maybe a concept is nothing and it is relative to the Unified Field; picture the Unified Field in 3D with something going out of it toward you. This matter sits onto of the Unified Field, I see this in my head btw. I believe it's in another Dimension. Also I was thinking about the first dimension and a light was there, like you would see in a tunnel. Then I saw my grandpa waving at me tell me it's okay to come to him. Then when I entered I saw the Heavens going out like a triangular thing. then I looked to the side and saw Shain McVay Matter and saw that it was me all along. Anyways, have a good one FairfieldLife
[FairfieldLife] Rock Revolution the Counterculture [1 Attachment]
Dear wilted flower children and their children, Anyone wishing to understand the Counterculture of the 1960s would do well starting with the following video and essay as primers, Inside Pop -- The Rock Revolution: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afU76JJcquI and Countercultures by Irving Kristol in the Dec. 1994 issue of Commentary (attached) Inside Pop -- The Rock Revolution is a CBS News special, broadcast in April 1967. The show was hosted by Leonard Bernstein and is probably one of the first examples of pop music being examined as a serious art form. The film features many scenes shot in Los Angeles in late 1966, including interviews with Frank Zappa and Graham Nash, as well as the now-legendary Brian Wilson solo performance of Surf's Up. This show also has interviews with members of Gentle Soul: http://www.saradainc.com/RickStanleyPressKit/gentlesoul-pic-270x206.jpg Recognize him? (She is Pamela Polland) He is Fairfield, Iowa resident, Celtic harp maker and father of Kaitlyn Winkler's high school classmate, Gwen Stanley. That's right, he is also former member of the Natural Tendency, Rick Stanley. Inside Pop - The Rock Revolution, although obviously about music, has as its larger theme the emerging counterculture and the confusion of our parent's generation (represented by Leonard Bernstein) expressed in his and David Oppenheimer 's (the film's director) questions to these young musicians and the audience. These questions are answered in many ways with insight by another member of our parent's generation, Irving Kristol, in his article, Countercultures. The counterculture that emerged in the United States in the 1960's -- and pretty much simultaneously in all the Western democracies -- is certainly one of the most significant events in the last half-century of Western civilization. It has reshaped our educational system, our arts, our forms of entertainment, our sexual conventions, our moral codes. So it is important that we understand it -- more important, indeed, than that we criticize it Enjoy, If you are interested (especially if you are a musician) in exploring more about the now-legendary Brian Wilson solo performance of Surf's Up, (featured in Inside Pop - The Rock Revolution) check out the following videos: Art That Shook The World: The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds (1/2) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ITsxbE5jf4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TxGPCcx-qU Beautiful Dreamer - Brian Wilson and the Story of 'SMiLE' [Part 1 2] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sv2iTjYWma0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaqvxlmvE_Y
RE: [FairfieldLife] Light On Water
Cool photo. Almost looks like an impressionist work. From: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com [mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of turquoiseb Sent: Friday, December 21, 2012 10:49 AM To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Subject: [FairfieldLife] Light On Water So it's Friday, and the End Of The World to boot. Cool. So I finished all my work for the week a few minutes ago, and then chose to celebrate it by taking a walk around the 'hood I live in, prior to celebrating it by going out to dinner with my extended adoptive family. And the walk was just smokin', which is why I'm writing about it. Really uplifting and wonderful. Consider this my belated Wussy Wednesday submission. Also, just in case the world really does end in a few minutes, consider it one of my last comments on it. One of the benefits of living in a tight, crowded-by-some-people's-standards, inner-city, European 'hood is that you get to Walk In History. The house behind ours, situated on the canal that used to be just inside the fortified walls of this medieval city, was built in 1660. The canal predates it, commerce tending in history to predate the lifestyles of those who profited from it. The Herengracht is not officially one of the biggest or most significant of the waterways in my city, but it has its charms. All of the buildings gracing its banks are built using the same Dutch red brick building style as the 1660 house, although many were built more recently. And they're cool and all. But turn aside from them, walk a few feet to the actual canal itself and look around, and what you find yourself in is a world of Light On Water. The water in the canal is not static. It's not a passive watcher of this whole scene. It's more of an active participant, taking the light reflected from the street lights and the house lights and the moon and the occasional (it's the Netherlands) star, and reflecting them on, cooler than they were when they arrived. It's almost as if the water in the canal is an artist, taking the incoming light and then bouncing it off of its everchanging surface and reflecting it onward kinda bent, and thus more interesting. A streetlight seen directly is all solid and all...kinda boring. But look at the reflection of the streetlight in the Herengracht and you see this pulsating, everchanging globule of light, with no fixed boundaries and no particular need to adapt itself to them. It's a cool effect. I kinda like it. https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/598589_5307030302871 68_411824051_n.jpg

RE: [FairfieldLife] A Hurt Community

An interesting idea, and a hopeful one, but as I seem to remember it, the tipping point with Joe McCarthy was really precipitated by the most trusted man in America taking him on, at peril to his own career and reputation. That was, of course, Edward R. Murrow, arguably the best newsman America has ever had. Who might such a person be within the TMO? What would happen, for example, if poster boy David Lynch lined up with the people being declared Off The Program, and thus anathema, and banned from the domes? Or Oprah? Or Paul McCartney? If you need to inspire yourself with what one man (or woman) can do if suitably ethical and suitably motivated, I heartily recommend a viewing or re-viewing of the film written and directed by George Clooney, Good Night, and Good Luck. In it you get to see the face of evil himself, Joseph McCarthy, as he really looked and acted in newsreel footage, and David Strathairn as the voice and face of Murrow, bringing a great actor's take to the actual text of Murrow's news broadcasts. The movie touched me deeply, and made me get all teary from time to time, seeing what the TV News *used to be*, compared with what it is now. One person -- if they are visible enough and respected enough -- really CAN change things. Why I bring this up is that although ideas themselves are suitable motivators for many people, I don't think that the larger community of TM practitioners -- having been trained for so many decades to be personality worshipers -- are at this point able to react to mere ideas. They need a spokesperson, a charismatic person to whom they can switch their allegiance and then follow. Just my opinion...

[FairfieldLife] A mountain story
From a friend on Purusha: Dear Friends far and wide, Our ashram is at 6900 feet elevation, and the other Uttarkashi Purusha ashram is at 5000 feet, many kilometers south of us. The selection of these two pieces of land and the construction of the buildings took place over several years and was the focus of much attention on the part of Maharishi. Sometime after the first men arrived to occupy the ashram Maharishi told someone, “No one should live above 5000 feet”. This might seem a frivolous or even incomprehensible remark, considering the time and cost involved in creating our home. After all, there were other sites at lower altitudes where we could have built. Why here? Only last month did it finally make sense to me what was going on. Our ashram receives much more rain during monsoon than the other ashram; sometimes it seems all the clouds from the Bay of Bengal to the Himalayas stop, and dump rain, at our doorstep. This results in great and small problems for residents, staff and management. Supplies are often delayed due to roads and mule trails being washed away. The stupendous monsoon flooding of the Asi Ganga river in August this year resulted our being highly isolated for two months without electricity or cooking gas. And our winter is considerably more cold than the other ashram, a real problem when electricity is cut for hours or even days at a time. But if you were to take a walk up a steep trail to the meadow about 1300 feet above us, a walk of from 50 to 60 minutes, you would no doubt notice the dancing energy of that place. High meadows like this are called in the Himalayas, ‘’bugyals’’ (pronounced boog-yaal). Everyone who goes there discovers that our bugyal is a spiritual power spot. The whole of this bugyal carries that sweet vibration, but in one corner is the presence most strong. At one time it was farmed and you can see the terraced fields which are now fully overgrown with grass. More than half of the land is open fields, and the rest is forest. Villagers bring their mules, cows and water buffaloes for a day or more to graze there until snow covers it. And a band of wandering Muslim herders— entire families— called Gujars, camp out each year for the whole of monsoon. They graze their herd and the men run down the mountain every morning after milking to sell the milk in the town of Uttarkashi. One sadhu moved into a hut there a few years ago and he stays most of the year. I take a three-hour hike in the mountains every week and one of my favorite destinations is the bugyal. Being much higher than our ashram the view from there is much larger. You can see grand peaks far away as you walk on the novelty of broad flat sod. Beneath one bordering cliff there is a fine waterfall to sit under in the summer. I usually bring my lunch and slip off to the corner where all the power radiates from, sit among the trees and feel the presence of God and breathe the silence in the air. Our ashram is within the ‘’sacred region’’ of Uttarkashi, mentioned in various Hindu scriptures. This is the land bound by the Asi Ganga river upstream of the town of Uttarkashi, and the Varana river, downstream. Both rivers merge with the holy Ganga river. In India, where two rivers converge is called sangam. Any river convergence with the Ganga is a holy spot itself, and I can attest to the spiritual energy that hangs at the sangams of both these rivers. At one of them I held a traditional first anniversary yagya for my departed friend, Charlie Johanson. This sacred precinct of Uttarkashi is the core of why this is called the ‘’Valley of the Saints’’. At one time Maharishi even declared that ‘’millions’’ of people had become enlightened in the Uttarkashi Valley area. Was he peering back millennia? Were ancient ashrams right here on the land we now occupy? Or up at the bugyal? So when Maharishi described our ashram elevation as undesirable he was only voicing the practical concerns. But he put his time and money into capturing the spiritual ideal for us. He once said of our life here, ‘’Even Indra is envious of you!”. I wish you joy and peace.

You'll come across many obituaries and articles, but I don't know how many of them will strike the chord of nonduality. I tried to approach that in this August 23, 2005 issue of the Highlights: http://www.nonduality.com/hl2239.htm It is reprinted here, but you might want to click on the link above and read the more colorful original version with photos. ~ ~ ~ This issue features a selection from Raga Mala: The Autobiography of Ravi Shankar. The material was typed from the book and appears nowhere else. The following Amazon review says what I would have said about the beauty of the book's design. The book overflows with photographs and is highlighted with gold: gold endpages, gold lettering for chapter headings, and several gold pages within the book. Raga Mala is the autobiography of pandit Ravi Shankar, told in story, profusely illustrated [some in color], beautifully bound [with luxurious endpapers], on high quality, beautiful papers. It tells his story [introduced by George Harrison] from his early childhood, stage [as a dancer in his brothers famous troupe] to his study of sitar and Hindustani music with a master[Khan], to his gradual emergence in the west. I had no idea, that he had performed at Carnegie hall in the 1930's, that John Coltrane's son Ravi was named after him, or that he was well known BEFORE the Monterey pop or woodstock concerts [he called woodstock terrifying']. This is a wonderful book, it tells the ENTIRE ARC of the life of pandit Ravi Shankar [including his apparent heir and pupil, his daughter Anoushka], and does so with such a well put together volume. The papers, the binding, the photographic reproductions are exquisite. The publisher has done a remarkable job. A classic book, both in form and content. You may order the book at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1566492173/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1566492173/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8camp=17 89creative=390957creativeASIN=1566492173linkCode=as2tag=nondualitysal-20 camp=1789creative=390957creativeASIN=1566492173linkCode=as2tag=nonduali tysal-20 _ http://www.nonduality.com/22391.jpg Our tradition teaches us that sound is God - Nada Brahma. That is, musical sound and the musical experience are steps to the realization of the self. We view music as a kind of spiritual discipline that raises one's inner being to divine peacefulness and bliss. We are taught that one of the fundamental goals a Hindu works toward in his lifetime is a knowledge of the true meaning of the universe - its unchanging, eternal essence - and this is realized first by a complete knowledge of one's self and one's own nature. The highest aim of our music is to reveal the essence of the universe it reflects, and the ragas are among the means by which this essence can be apprehended. Thus, through music, one can reach God. -Ravi Shankar Being a Brahmin, I learnt some mantras from gurus as a child, and still repeat them in my mind as often as I can today. I do firmly believe that they have tremendous power. For a few years in the late Fifties and early Sixties, I regularly practiced hatha yoga, but gradually the pace of my life made it impossible to continue with it (although I still maintain my regular morning meditations, plus one before giving a recital). Many times in my life I have been attracted with great surges of love and bhakti (reverence or devotion) to some godly persons I have known, such as Tat Baba, Ma Anandamayi, Satya Sai Baba and the late Shankaracharya of Kanchi. Some I never saw have also exerted a strong pull on me, such as Ramakrishna Paramahansa, Lahiri Mahasai, Trailange Swami, Babaji and Swami Vivekananda. But in one's daily life and existence it is hard to attain cosmic consciousness. Most of the time the only self-realisation states one is aware of are physical and mundane ones. I am sure many of you have felt this too. But MUSIC - that is the thing for me! Mostly it has been when deeply immersed in my music that I have felt that surge of joy, merging into the indefinable 'drunken with beauty' moment. Especially when I become attuned to my sitar, that is the route for me to touch the heart and the God within myself, and within my millions of listeners over the years. The spiritual element in Indian music is absolutely essential. From the very beginning our music was handed down by the yogis, and musicians were invariably great saintly people, leading a very religious life. Many of the old songs were philosophical and devotional in nature, written in

It was great. Full video will be up in a couple of months, after Fora.tv's exclusive rights expire. 11:45am - 12:30pm Sausalito room The Three Simultaneously True Levels of Nondual Reality Most humans view their situation in a conventional, non-mystical way, treating whatever happens as concretely real, and to be judged as good and bad, etc. By contrast, a growing number of non-dual teachers and students espouse the viewpoint that whatever happens is the perfect manifestation of Divine Will, or that nothing is really happening or ever happened. Yet our situation is not so one-dimensional as these positions would hold, and an expansive, truly liberated way of talking about Reality will involve more dimensions. A three-fold model of nondual Reality will be discussed which many have found quite helpful in accounting for all levels of our experience. Don't Mistake Understanding for Realization, Don't Mistake Realization for Liberation Reports of spiritual awakenings, once rare, have become commonplace. Modern seekers often find an intuitive understanding of the ultimate non-dual reality or the illusory nature of the world to be so liberating that they conclude they have reached the goal, and that seeking should be renounced. Ancient traditions caution that such an understanding may be merely a preliminary stage of development. Moreover, an experiential realization, beyond the merely conceptual, may feel so complete that one might conclude that This is it. Some insist that once the non-dual nature of the Self is realized, one has arrived, and it is meaningless to speak of further degrees of growth or levels of realization. Others hold that Self-realization is an important milestone, but that spiritual development never ends. Can we reconcile the injunction to live in the present moment with the understanding that there is much development yet to undergo?

RE: [FairfieldLife] Re: Can Texas Really Secede from the Union?
Dear Red States: We're ticked off at your Neanderthal attitudes and politics, so we've decided we're leaving. We in California intend to form our own country and we're taking the other Blue States with us. In case you aren't aware that includes Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and most of the Northeast. We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation and especially to the people of the new country of The Enlightened States of America (E.S.A). To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states. We get stem cell research and the best beaches. We get Andrew Cuomo and Elizabeth Warren. You get Bobby Jindal and Todd Akin. We get the Statue of Liberty. You get OpryLand. We get Intel and Microsoft. You get WorldCom. We get Harvard. You get Ol' Miss. We get 85 per cent of America's venture capital and entrepreneurs. You get Alabama. We get two-thirds of the tax revenue. You get to make the red states pay their fair share. Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22 per cent lower than the Christian Coalition's, we get a bunch of happy families. With the Blue States in hand we will have firm control of 80% of the country's fresh water, more than 90% of the pineapple and lettuce, 92% of the nation's fresh fruit, 95% of America's quality wines (you can serve French wines at state dinners) 90% of all cheese, 90 per cent of the high tech industry, most of the US low sulphur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools plus Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Cal Tech and MIT. With the Red States you will have to cope with 88% of all obese Americans and their projected health care costs, 92% of all US mosquitoes, nearly 100% of the tornadoes, 90% of the hurricanes, 99% of all Southern Baptists, virtually 100% of all televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Clemson and the University of Georgia. We get Hollywood and Yosemite. 38% of those in the Red states believe Jonah was actually swallowed by a whale, 62% believe life is sacred unless we're discussing the death penalty or gun laws, 44% say that evolution is only a theory, 53% that Saddam was involved in 9/11 and 61% of you crazy bastards believe you are people with higher morals then we lefties. We're taking the good weed too. You can have that crap they grow in Mexico. Sincerely, Citizen of the Enlightened States of America

[FairfieldLife] THE LAST PROPHECY By Mother Shipton (1488-1561) (who was burnt at the stake)
THE LAST PROPHECY By Mother Shipton (1488-1561) In nineteen hundred and twenty-six build houses light of straw and sticks. For then shall mighty wars be planned and fire and swords shall sweep the land. When pictures seem alive with movements free, when boats like fishes swim beneath the sea. When men like birds shall scour the sky. Then half the world, deep drenched in blood shall die. For those who live the century through in fear and trembling this shall do. Flee to the mountains and the dens to bog and forest and wild fens. For storms will rage and oceans roar when Gabriel stands on sea and shore, and as he blows his wondrous horn old worlds die and new be born. A fiery dragon will cross the sky six times before the earth shall die. Mankind will tremble and frightened be for the six heralds in this prophecy. For seven days and seven nights man will watch this awesome sight. The tides will rise beyond their ken. To bite away the shores and then the mountains will begin to roar and earthquakes split the plain to shore. And flooding waters rushing in, will flood the lands with such a din that mankind cowers in muddy fen and snarls about his fellow men. He bares his teeth and fights and kills and secrets food in secret hill and ugly in his fear, he lies to kill marauders, thieves and spies. Man flees in terror from the floods and kills, and rapes and lies in blood and spilling blood by mankind's hand will stain and bitter many lands. And when the dragon's tail is gone man forgets and smiles and carries on. To apply himself - too late, too late for mankind has earned deserved fate. His masked smile, his false grandeur, will serve the gods their anger stir and they will send the dragon back to light the sky - his tail will crack. Upon the earth and rend the earth and man shall flee, king, lord and serf. But slowly they are routed out to seek diminishing water spout and men will die of thirst before the oceans rise to mount to the shore. And lands will crack and rend anew do you think it strange, it will come true. And in some far - off distant land some men - oh such a tiny band will have to leave their solid mount and span the earth, those few to count. Who survives this (unreadable) and then begin the human race again. But not on land already there, but on ocean beds, stark, dry and bare. Not every soul on earth will die, as the dragon's tail goes sweeping by, not every land on earth will sink, but these will wallow in stench and stink, of rotting bodies of beast and man, of vegetation crisped on land. But the land that rises from the sea will be dry and clean and soft and free. Of mankinds dirt and therefore be, the source of man's new dynasty. and those that live will ever fear the dragon's tail for many year but time erases memory You think it strange. but it will be. And before the race is built anew, a silver serpent comes to view and spew out men of like unknown to mingle with the earth now grown cold from its heat and these men can enlighten the minds of future man to intermingle and show them how to live and love and thus endow. the children with the second sight. a natural thing so that they might grow graceful, humble and when they do the golden age will start anew. The dragon's tail is but a sign for mankind's fall and man's decline. and before this prophecy is done I shall be burned at the stake, at l My body cinged and my soul set free You think I utter blastphemy your wrong. These things have come to me this prophecy will come to be. THE LAST PROPHECY By Mother Shipton (1488-1561) (who was burnt at the stake)

It still makes me laugh when I see David Lynch as poster child for TM and knowing he brags about TM giving him the creativity to make his films and also knowing that neither MUM nor any other TMO facility in the world will ever officially sanction or host a screening of Eraserhead, Twin Peaks or BLue Velvet. And he still smokes after 40+ years of TM. But I honor him for the good he’s doing. These people are obviously benefitting profoundly.

[FairfieldLife] From Francis Thicke: Why he's supporting President Obama.
Some of you may remember that I took a lot of heat this summer for being a Democrat who went to the Republican Caucus to caucus for Ron Paul. I did so because I thought it important for Ron Paul's voice for peace to be heard. I was subsequently disappointed to see Ron Paul's voice ignored by the media and suppressed by the GOP. Even more outrageous was how the GOP made last-minute convention rule changes to reject Ron Paul delegates and block Ron Paul from speaking in prime time. Many Ron Paul supporters are considering voting for a third-party candidate for president. However, I urge them to consider the potential consequence of that. Iowa polls show the race here to be very close, and a few votes could help determine the election outcome. A vote for a third-party candidate in this election could be become a default vote for the party that ran over Ron Paul and his supporters. If you think it makes no difference whether Obama or Romney is elected tomorrow, consider that the next president will likely make Supreme Court appointments that could determine the outcome of our highest court's rulings for many years to come; consider that President Obama has gotten us out of the war in Iraq and is on course to get us out of Afghanistan, whereas Romney wants to increase military spending and is bellicose towards Iran; consider that President Obama is strong on protecting the rights of minorities and hastening the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy. There are many more important differences between the candidates for president that could be listed. I urge you to vote for President Obama. Thank you for your consideration. Francis Thicke

From a friend: _ Re Samavartaka Fire, below: I haven't had any confirmation of the comment attributed to Maharishi, and I don't have any further information on who the Jyotishis are that have predicted it to come in Feb. 2013. From what I have seen on the internet, it seems that the predictions of a phase transition fall sometime during the next 2 years. What is encouraging is the actual quote that 2 people sent me from one of the Puranas that predicts the 10,000 year Age of Enlightenment to begin 5,000 years into Kali Yuga, which is where we are now. The Sanskrit transliteration and the English translation of the 10 verses are below the original email: _ THE SAMAVARTAKA FIRE From the Brahma Vaivarta Purana Krishna said to Ganga (Gangamata, the Ganges personified as a goddess). Five thousand years from this date, within the span of Kali Yuga, there will be respite from this terrible age. There will be a golden age of 10,000 years. Jyotishis have calculated that it will come on February 2013 and call it the Samavartaka Fire, a solar cleansing of the earth. Both the Mayan Calendar and the Samavartaka Fire predictions were done at least 5,000 years ago, but there is some dispute about the accuracy of the Mayan calendar end-date. These predictions were done on opposite sides of the earth at the same time. The time in between ages is called Pralaya where there is often a time of strife. Someone on Purusha asked Maharishi about the Mayan calendar end-date, and he said, It's a little off. _ The following are ten verses from the Brahma-vaivarta Purana that were spoken by Lord Krishna to Mother Ganga just before the beginning of Kali yuga (the age of quarrel and strife). Kali yuga began approximately five thousand years ago, and it has a duration of 432,000 years, leaving us with 427,000 till the end of the present age. [For a description of Kali yuga, please read the related article Predictions for the age of Kali.] Within this 432,000 year period, there is a period of 10,000 years that will be a golden age. That golden age is being described below by Lord Sri Krishna. This text is taken from the Brahma-vaivarta Purana. Text 49 bhagarathy uvaca he natha ramanashreshtha yasi golokamuttamam asmakam ka gatishcatra bhavishyati kalau yuge Ganges said: O protector, Supreme enjoyer, on your departure for the perfect abode, Goloka, thereafter what will be my situation in the age of kali? Text 50 sri-bhagavan uvaca kaleh pancasahasrani varshani tishtha bhutale papani papino yani tubhyam dasyanti snanatah The blessed Lord said: On the earth 5,000 years of kali will be sinful and sinners will deposit their sins in you by bathing. Text 51 man-mantropasakasparshad bhasmibhutani tatkshanat bhavishyanti darsanacca snanadeva hi jahnavi Thereafter by the sight and touch of those who worship me by my mantra, all those sins will be burnt. Text 52 harernamani yatraiva puranani bhavanti hi tatra gatva savadhanam abhih sarddham ca shroshyasi There will be chanting of the name of Hari and reading of the [Bhagavata] Purana. Reaching such a place, attentively hear. Text 53 purana shravanaccaiva harernamanukirtanat bhasmibhutani papani brahma-hatyadikani ca Sinful reactions including the killing of a brahmana can be nullified by hearing the Purana and chanting of the names of Hari in the manner of devotees. Text 54 bhasmibhutani tanyeva vaishnavalinganena ca trinani shushkakashthani dahanti pavako yatha Just as dry grass is burnt by fire, by the embrace of My devotees all sins are burnt. Text 55 tathapi vaishnava loke papani papinamapi prithivyam yani tirthani punyanyapi ca jahnavi O Ganges, the whole planet will become a pilgrimage sight by the presence of My devotees, even though it had been sinful. Text 56 madbhaktanam sharireshu santi puteshu samtatam madbhaktapadarajasa sadyah puta vasundhara In the body of my devotees remains eternally [the purifier]. Mother earth becomes pure by the dust of the feet of my devotees. Text 57 sadyah putani tirthani sadyah putam jagattatha manmantropasaka vipra ye maducchishtabhojinah It will be the same in the case of pilgrimage sights and the whole world. Those intelligent worshipers of my mantra who partake My remnants will purify everything. Text 58 mameva nityam dhyayante te mat pranadhikah priyah tadupasparshamatrena puto vayushca pavakah They are more dear to Me than My life, who everyday meditate only on Me. The air and fire become pure simply even by their indirect touch. Text 59 kaler dasha-sahasrani madbhaktah santi bhu-tale ekavarna bhavishyanti madbhakteshu gateshu ca For 10,000 years of kali such devotees of mine will fill the whole planet. After the departure of My devotees there will only be one varna. Text 60 madbhaktashunya prithivi kaligrasta

[FairfieldLife] Fairfield Driving Warnings
2 important things to be aware of at this time: * Deer mating season is starting. I drove out of Jeff Co Park Tues night. 3 deer crossing Libertyville Rd. Took a left turn on Key Blvd - 100' 2 more deer xing; 200' feet further 2 more deer xing. They are constantly on the move over next 6-8 weeks. Be extra careful driving at night!! * New Law Increases Penalties for School Bus violation. First time violation = a fine of $250-$675 + 30 suspension of driver's license. Everyone knows you have to stop behind a parked bus with lights flashing and Stop arm out. Most people also know that you have to stop when meeting a school bus from the front on a 2 lane road. What you may not know, and many people are finding out the hard way is that if you are driving in the opposite direction from which the bus is driving, on Burlington/#34, you have to STOP when the lights are flashing/Stop arm is out EVEN THOUGH THERE IS TURNING LANE separating you from the other direction lane.
[FairfieldLife] Deer hunting in Fairfield?
Dear Friends, As many of you probably know, the Fairfield City Council is considering instituting deer hunting within city limits in order to handle the overpopulation problem. There have been a few accidents, and deer have been eating residents' gardens. My vegetable garden last year served up some tasty treats for the deer. Personally, I am not in favor of this, both for safety and humane reasons. Hunting would be allowed at certain times in city parks, such as Lamson Woods. Bow and arrow hunting would be the method used. Although there would be safety regulations in place, accidents happen. (I get DNR press releases - I can tell you - accidents happen.) Bow and arrow hunting, too, often causes a slow and painful death for deer. Of course we have to ensure that motorists are safe when they drive within city limits. But there are other valid and humane ways to deal with this issue rather than resorting to killing off something in the natural world that gets in our way. City Council rep Connie Boyer is heading up a committee to look into the deer overpopulation issue. She is now taking comments from Fairfield residents. If this issue is of concern to you, I would encourage you to send her an email so she knows that there are people in Fairfield who have concerns. Her address is bo...@lisco.com. Thanks for considering this. Best regards, Diane

[FairfieldLife] More recent info on sale of heavenly mountain
http://www.motherdivine.org/email/updates/2012_4_hm.html VIEW EMAIL WITH IMAGES http://www.motherdivine.org/ The Mother Divine Program: Blissful Life in Freedom, Fullness, and Enlightenment http://www.motherdivine.org/email/images/yellow_leftcolumn.jpg Dearest friends and supporters of the Mother Divine Program, We'd like to bring you up to date with recent developments regarding Heavenly Mountain, North Carolina. As all of you are probably aware, last year we purchased the East Campus property of Heavenly Mountain (Mother Divine's former home) as a permanent home for the Mother Divine Program and Maharishi University of Enlightenment in North America. Since the purchase last May, renovations of the campus have been in progress, and by and large have been going well. However, we are writing now to inform you of the very recent decision we have had to make with respect to these renovations and our property there. After deep consideration and taking advice from experts as well as wise leaders of our Movement, we have concluded that we must stop the renovations on the Heavenly Mountain property and try to sell it. We wanted you to know that this decision was not made lightly, or without careful thought and a very complete assessment of our situation. In the past two months as we started a detailed investigation of all the suites and common areas in the large building and the dining hall, aided by a team of expert subcontractors, we began to uncover more and more work that needed to be done in order for the buildings to meet the basic requirements for occupancy. Even though we had performed thorough due diligence on all the buildings prior to purchase, additional and more extensive damage came to light once the renovations were in process. At first we thought we would be able to overcome these challenges, but this month we received a comprehensive summary report from our project manager and renovations team outlining the scope of work and related costs necessary to achieve partial occupancy of the campus. The report indicated a time line of one year or more with costs exceeding our budget by many millions. In addition, we considered once again the very high operating costs and ongoing maintenance of an older facility such as this and the pressure that would inevitably be put on our future financial requirements. Even though this was factored into our original fundraising goal, we had not counted on the renovations taking so long or being so extensive and costly. We feel that new construction with recent energy saving designs could significantly lower ongoing operating costs and be more sustainable for us in the future. There is still a great need and desire to create a permanent and comfortable home for the Mother Divine Program in North America, a place where we can all be together, expand our numbers, and welcome ladies from all over the world to join us for courses and special programs. The Heavenly Mountain property remains very valuable and for the right person with plentiful resources could be a great investment. We are all very optimistic that the sale of this property will yield a nice profit that can be the seed money for the permanent home for Mother Divine. We have the sense that Nature is organizing for us in the best possible way and guiding us in a very positive direction. We have already started to explore some promising options. We deeply appreciate your continuing support of the Mother Divine Program, and look forward to sharing with you our future plans for a new home for Mother Divine and Maharishi University of Enlightenment that will be sustainable and ideal in every way. Jai Guru Dev With all our love and gratitude, The Raj Rajeshwaris and members of the Mother Divine Program http://www.motherdivine.org/email/images/yellow_rightcolumn.jpg http://www.motherdivine.org/email/images/yellow_footer.jpg

I think you hit the nail on the head there. From what I do know of Obama's past, he's never really had a very stressful job before this one. To jump into the presidency with hardly any political experience, and moreover never having had a really difficult or stressful job before, he's probably destined to get a bit stressed out and overworked. Take his inexperience and combine it with the horrible shape of the country, I think most would agree he's just simply overwhelmed at the time being. No 'altitude' excuse needed here, and I certainly don't look down on him for falling down either. He felt seeking the presidency was the right thing to do, and he just didn't know what he was in for. seekliberation --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife%40yahoogroups.com , Bhairitu noozguru@ wrote: On 10/09/2012 06:43 PM, John wrote: It's also possible that Obama is beat up in dealing with Republicans in Congress, managing the economy, coping with a $16 trillion dollar national debt, and ending the Afghanistan war.

[FairfieldLife] Fairfield Event: A Lost Generation Due to HIV/AIDS
A Lost Generation Due to HIV/AIDS Ken and Sheila Ross and Peter and Sue Huggins invite you to attend a gathering at the Huggins home on Tuesday, October 9th at 7:30 P.M. We feel honored to introduce you to our friend Howard Winitsky, who has founded a wonderful charity in Swaziland. He will be showing a video and speaking about their work there. It is a fascinating and unusual story and an extremely worthwhile cause that is doing so much good. A real concrete example of taking to heart Maharishi's dictum, The world is my family. Ken and Sheila came to know Howard when they were introduced by mutual friends and they became business partners in a small skin care-related business. Howard had learned TM but not by a proper teacher, so at our urging, he got initiated again in Florida by Dr. Stuart Rothenberg. He loved his meditation. He also had serious back problems and we suggested that yoga could help and he plunged into the study of yoga and became pain free. He then became a siddha and is a very devoted member of our world-wide community. He has invested in Peter's drilling partnerships and they have become close friends. We want to give him a really warm welcome and help him with his work as much as possible. Howard graduated from Northwestern University with a Bachelor of Science in Education. He became the Captain of the Northwestern Tennis team and was previously a two-time Florida State Tennis Champion. Also the over forty tennis champion in Florida. After graduation from Northwestern, Howard found success working with families and professionals through managing their insurance and estate planning needs. After retiring, at age 50, Howard made the unusual choice to join the Peace Corp and go wherever they sent him. He was leaving his cushy life in Florida with a house on the beach, yoga classes, fine restaurants, you know the drill, and offering himself to the less fortunate of the world. After two years waiting to receive acceptance, he found himself in rural Swaziland living in a leaky hut with a tin roof with rats scampering accross it through the night and learning the Swati language in a crash course that then allowed him to go out and educate the populace about HIV. He served with the United States Peace Corps as a Community Health volunteer from June 2010 in Swaziland. After his time in the Peace Corps he came to realize that he wanted to pursue his own vision of how to help the children of this country and he resigned his position in order to do this. Howard has remained in Swaziland to run the operations and management of New Day for Children Foundation. Howard is married to a beautiful Swaziland citizen who is equally passionate about this mission to save and educate the orphans that have been created by the scourge of HIV which hit Swaziland very hard. He has three children and grandchildren from his previous marriage. Probably most of you know little about this country.

It is also unusual in that it is mainly a Christian country,making up 82% of the population. It's land mass is 120 miles by 81 miles and the population is 1.2 million. Seventy-five percent of the population are subsistence farmers and earn about $1.25 per day. Its king rules by decree over his million subjects, most of whom live in the countryside and follow traditional ways of life. The power of the throne, however, has not gone unchallenged. King Mswati III, on the throne since 1986, since age 18, is upholding the tradition of his father, King Sobhuza II, who reigned for almost 61 years and had scores of wives. The current monarch has thirteen wives who live in high style.

RE: [FairfieldLife] Re: Ahh, I should probably leave well enough alone...
Maharishi reportedly once commented that “Sthapatya Veda is entertainment for the wealthy”. Also, when he first came out with it he told people living on non-SV houses to vacate them as if they were on fire. Of course, we know that there have been plenty of divorces, bankruptcies, deaths by cancer, etc., in SV houses.

Richard, you know damn good and well the Movement deliberately tells people if they don't have a Maharishi Sthapatya veda home and office, they will have problems, trusting the listeners will always obey the Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain mantra - meaning they will simply believe what they are told in the moment and not practice critical thinking to see if what they are being told matches what they have been told. In this case, we WERE told TM makes you stronger and healthier, more able to be effective in the world, now TMO wants everyone to believe they will have ill health, poverty and on going problems if they don't live and work in a Maharishi Sthapatya veda home/office. They say it point blank. I don't have to have been in the Dome to have good sense and practice common sense thinking. Evidently you have not been paying attention yourself as you have not picked up on the fact that I spent 2 years in the Maharishi Patanjali Golden Dome of Pure Knowledge when I was on staff at then MIU. Since you require my bona fides, I was first in the Men's Dome on my flying bloc way back a long time ago, then on the 10 day extension I took after the Taste of Utopia course in winter of '83-'84, during the Taste of Utopia I was one of a few men who went to the Ladies Dome after the Men's Dome was full when Maharishi was speaking and we were TOLD to go to the Ladies DOme to watch M on closed circuit tv - after about 20 minutes of Ladies Dome Bliss, they came and kicked all men out so we wouldn't create any impurities there. Then the 2 year stint on staff. I also have some friends who were stupid enough to build a mountain cabin according to sthpatya veda (used the Movement experts to determine the vastu and so on) outside of Asheville NC. The orientation of the house was such that they had to build half of the house over the air on stilts (in essence) that meant in the very cold wintertimes, the P-traps in the plumbing always froze and there was no way to flush or use the sinks or take a shower until they thawed. Sthapatya veda may be nice but the way it is promoted by the Movement is dishonest, unprincipled and done totally to create and maintain a stream of income for King Tony - after all he does have those young-uns to take care of. _ From: Richard J.

You mean more egregious than muttering magic spells? Well, this is assuming that you've actually been inside a vastu home or temple. It hasn't been established that you've been within a thousand miles of a Golden Dome of Pure Knowledge, let alone gone to India to visit a Buddhist stupa or pagoda. Vastu is just like like setting up a 'hearth' in your home, probably by your wife or mate, if you have one, otherwise, if you're single, your place may look like a pig sty or barn yard. LoL! The first use of vastu probably was the use of fire, which at first was not for warmth nor for cooking food, but as a fetish in order to impress the neighbors. An essential part of any Vastu Living Home is a 'Zone of Tranquility'. According to MMY, the Hindu home should be a temple or 'peace pagoda', and it should have a Zone of Tranquility, that is, a puja room or a prayer room for meditation. A Zone of Tranquility is a place where one can sit down and meditate on your Ista Devata using your bija mantra and a sri yantra. Pay attention! The Zone of Tranquility should not be confused with the 'Brahmansthana', which is where the Ista Devata is to be sitting. Vastu is just simple placement, quimancy, and commodity management. Everyone on the planet practices vastu to a certain extent!

RE: [FairfieldLife] Fairfield smart meters
From: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com [mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of feste37 Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2012 10:11 AM To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Subject: [FairfieldLife] Fairfield smart meters I received a letter from Fairfield Waterworks informing me that I had a smart meter in my home. This was news to me. I knew a new meter had been installed but I thought that was at least 12 years ago. They say they started installing them in 2002, but I suspect it was before that. Anyway, they are now removing these meters free of charge for anyone who requests it. But I have suffered no ill effects from this meter. Nothing at all, even though it is in the basement in a location almost directly below my bedroom. So I may just leave it here. I'd be interested in any other local perspectives on this matter, which has caused such a furor in Fairfield. Everything has an effect. Just a matter of degree. Half the world may end up with brain tumors 20 years from now, due to cell phones. The influence contributing to that wouldn't necessarily be noticeable.

So this whole where Obama was born nonsense is based on a faulty premise to begin with: that it would matter where an American citizen has her baby. Yes, but isn't there a provision in the Constitution or somewhere that a President has to be born in the US or one of its territories, not just born of an American parent?

McCain was born in Panama, but that was a territory at the time, so he qualified. The term in the Constitution is Natural Born Citizen I couldn't find any examples for it to be taken as physically on our dirt only. Maybe someone else has one. Wikipedia: Status as a natural-born citizen of the United States is one of the eligibility requirements established in the United States Constitution for election to the office of President or Vice President. This requirement was intended to protect the nation from foreign influence. The Constitution does not define the phrase natural-born citizen, and various opinions have been offered over time regarding its precise meaning. A 2011 Congressional Research Service report stated The weight of legal and historical authority indicates that the term natural born citizen would mean a person who is entitled to U.S. citizenship by birth or at birth, either by being born in the United States and under its jurisdiction, even those born to alien parents; by being born abroad to U.S. citizen-parents; or by being born in other situations meeting legal requirements for U.S. citizenship at birth. Such term, however, would not include a person who was not a U.S. citizen by birth or at birth, and who was thus born an alien required to go through the legal process of naturalization to become a U.S. citizen.[1] So then I don't understand the controversy, as Obama's mother was undisputedly an American citizen throughout her life. Seems like it's just a thing that idiots use to keep themselves worked into a racist, xenophobic frenzy.

[FairfieldLife] Gary Greenfield's eperience of teaching Iraq vet
Date: Tuesday, September 4, 2012, 1:14 PM Report of Remarkable Experience of Military Veteran Learning TM Before attending Governor Recertification this past summer, Naomi and I were able to give intro/prep lecture presentations at two different veterans centers. Both were well received, and I went to Fairfield knowing we had veterans who wanted instruction in TM when we returned…and that most of them would need financial assistance to l earn. It was the personal interview with the last man, C.R., at the second lecture, that really sparked my passion for this effort. When I saw that there was no address filled in on his personal interview form, I diplomatically suggested he must have overlooked this line. He barely looked up at me when he answered that he didn’t have an address. He had not worked in quite some time because he could not handle pressure, and he kept having meltdowns, getting into arguments, and even violent confrontations. And that stress had carried over into his home life, where he was constantly arguing with his wife when he wasn’t hiding from the world, shut up in his room. So he and his wife had separated, and he was now living in a tent…in the Everglades. I looked at this man and my heart just broke. His face was a mask of sorrow and despair, and he looked utterly shut down; his chest barely moved when he breathed. He looked as if he had lost all hope and I wanted to give him a reason to be patient, to hang in there, until I could secure the course tuition for him to be instructed. So when he asked me if I thought TM could really help him, I told him I was confident it would. Working with the David Lynch Foundation, I was able to secure scholarship money for C.R. and another vet to learn upon our return from Fairfield. When we called these men to tell them the good news, they were overjoyed and very grateful. So we set the date for their course of instruction. When C.R. arrived for his instruction he looked very worried and tense. We talked only briefly, and he again expressed hope that this would work. I looked at him at told him that he would now be starting a new chapter in his life, and began his instruction. He had a good, relaxing experience, barely wanted to open his eyes when his time of meditation was up. I completed his initiation and gave him his going home instructions. The next day, as I was preparing the lecture hall for the arrival of our students, the door opened, and in walked C.R.…and he was smiling, beaming really. I asked him about it, and he said, “Last night I slept through the night…for the first time in 21 years.” That immediately got my attention. When we discussed experiences, he said he was now back in his home, and with a big smile, that his wife had said it was different when he kissed her. When I replied that we would have to do more research on that, he laughed, and said he had a question: “For months, I have been seeing two psychiatrists, two social workers, a psychologist, just completed an anger management course, an been taking handfuls of medications. And in one day of doing TM I have gotten more relief than all of those other things combined. Is this normal?” I answered that dramatic results are often reported, and we’ll see how it goes day by day. The second day of class he mentions that he called six friends. When I ask if that is typical for him, he tells the class that he has not called anybody for months and months. He basically was staying out of sight in his room. But he wanted to reconnect with people, so he made some calls. Everyone in the class recognizes how significant this change is for this man — he is now reaching out to re-establish relationships. Earlier that day, his wife had accompanied him to see one of his social workers, crying tears of gratitude for the change in her husband. (This gets the attention of the social worker, who decides she also must learn TM.) Again, his experiences on his form are very positive. He clearly is practicing correctly and is noticing dramatic chagnes. The third day of class, he walks in smiling again, and proceeds to give us a glowing report. He tells everyone, since he learned TM he has been sleeping through the night, and he has had no nightmares. Many people have commented on the change in him — his wife, a social worker, and his pastor. At church, he was hugging people. He reclines comfortably in his seat: “I have my mojo, my life back again. Every veteran with PTSD should be able to learn this. My wife an I want to invite you over for dinner, and I want to become a teacher of this meditation.” I am so moved by the transformation in this man, I can barely speak. I manage to say, “We’re all very happy for you. As teachers, this is why we teach.” Two-and-a-half weeks later, he comes to have his meditation checked.

Thanks Robin. I must say that after 44 years of regular meditation, I’ve gone through all sorts of phases, but never disillusionment. With MMY and the TMO maybe, but not with my experience. Still an enjoyable twice daily interlude, with benefits still accruing. From: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com [mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Robin Carlsen Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2012 5:18 PM To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Gary Greenfield's eperience of teaching Iraq vet Dear Rick, Whatever are the long-term effects of TM, that first experience of transcending, why it is not like anything that has ever existed--not in my lifetime. We become attached to EXPERIENCE after this, and when the experience becomes less beautiful and dramatic, and the benefits seem to be receding, then we become disillusioned. [And there can even be serious negative side-effects--especially in rounding.] But Transcendental Meditation has the potential--more than anything else available in the world--to bring about an instantaneous and miraculously innocent experience of GOING SOMEWHERE ELSE OTHER THAN WHERE ONE HAS BEEN ALL OF ONE'S LIFE. TM has this absolute value and effect: It takes one out of the physical and mental context one is in--and just this very mechanical result: escape from the the experience one has been embedded in as long as one can remember-this is a glimpse of what is possible that is a presentiment of 'heaven'. Even if it has never happened in the life of a single initiator. Heaven inside self*. There are all kinds of problems that set in after awhile, but the truth of the testimony here cannot be doubted. And this experience--every one of us initiators has had something amazing happen inside of us because of TM and Maharishi,--although it is not the final story, it is a reality which is part of all of us. And it *changed* us. What is said in this letter must be incorporated into any retrospective view of TM and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. You are to be commended, Rick, for making this truth known to us once again.

Both were well received, and I went to Fairfield knowing we had veterans who wanted instruction in TM when we returned…and that most of them would need financial assistance to l earn. It was the personal interview with the last man, C.R., at the second lecture, that really sparked my passion for this effort. When I saw that there was no address filled in on his personal interview form, I diplomatically suggested he must have overlooked this line. He barely looked up at me when he answered that he didn’t have an address. He had not worked in quite some time because he could not handle pressure, and he kept having meltdowns, getting into arguments, and even violent confrontations. And that stress had carried over into his home life, where he was constantly arguing with his wife when he wasn’t hiding from the world, shut up in his room. So he and his wife had separated, and he was now living in a tent…in the Everglades. I looked at this man and my heart just broke. His face was a mask of sorrow and despair, and he looked utterly shut down; his chest barely moved when he breathed. He looked as if he had lost all hope and I wanted to give him a reason to be patient, to hang in there, until I could secure the course tuition for him to be instructed. So when he asked me if I thought TM could really help him, I told him I was confident it would. Working with the David Lynch Foundation, I was able to secure scholarship money for C.R. and another vet to learn upon our return from Fairfield. When we called these men to tell them the good news, they were overjoyed and very grateful. So we set the date for their course of instruction. When C.R. arrived for his instruction he looked very worried and tense. We talked only briefly, and he again expressed hope that this would work. I looked at him at told him that he would now be starting a new chapter in his life, and began his instruction. He had a good, relaxing experience, barely wanted to open his eyes when his time of meditation was up. I completed his initiation and gave him his going home instructions. The next day, as I was preparing the lecture hall for the arrival of our students, the door opened, and in walked C.R.…and he was smiling, beaming really. I asked him about it, and he said, “Last night I slept through the night…for the first time in 21
