I sort of get the feeling that you are describing your own beliefs more than anything else. I think most have a more balanced notion of how things will play out, likely greater spirituality coexisting with greater societal controls.
You claim otherwise, but I think you still hold on to your previously held new age notions of how things will play out. You are the one with the history of channeling. And last I heard, you still buy into it, in terms of "was it real, or was it memorex" type of thing. (-: ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mjackson74@...> wrote : Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! "The world is waking up" Nice idea, nice fantasy and zero evidence that such an awakening is actually happening. We are currently experiencing another of the innumerable spiritualist movements the humans manifest from time to time. The last big one was in the late 1800's with the rise of the Theosophical Society - in fact it was Helena Blavatsky and her successors Annie Besant and Alice Bailey who laid the foundations for the current New Age baloney that people love to believe today. In fact we as a species are heading into another downturn seemingly. In the past the logistics of terrain and distance would keep some societies and cultures intact when others were overwhelmed or imploded, but today who knows what will happen. All this stuff about a world enlightenment is a very very fine idea and I wish it would happen, but its pure fantasy. I am sure all the true believers will believe it up to the very moment that storm troopers kick down your door and haul you off. You can offer to get them initiated into TM while they burn your house. The other interesting thing is that the TM true believers all really believe the "awakening" will occur when most of the world suddenly falls in love with Marshy and run to get David Lynch's "darshan" (I'd rather smell a dead skunk myself) and get initiated into TM. Meanwhile the New Agers think everyone will be spontaneously floating into ascension, meaning their bodies become the perfect 4th dimensional template it really is, the ufo crowd think the "Space Brothers" will come and give us all kinds of all sorts of marvelous technology that will allow us to have world peace, end hunger, eradicate illness and so on. Nabby must have the most interesting idea of the Age of E where David Lynch becomes a god of some sort, sort of like Jesus underneath Marshy's position as God, everyone becomes a TM'er and does TM and of course TMSP will be mandatory for all and sundry. Everyone will do TM except for people like me, Barry, Curtis and Sal who will all be herded into a vastu veda prison and closely watched to make sure we don't excape. We'll probably have our tongues cut out so we won't spout any TM blasphemy that might corrupt the noble Purusha men who will be our guards. All the existing buildings will be destroyed to make way for an all Marshy vastu ved building project that the Movement will get well paid for. All celebrations of any kind will be replaced with Hindu celebrations and in fact all religions will be banned in favor of Marshy's superstitious brand of pseudo-Hinduism. Meanwhile the Space Brothers will come down and give us all the techno that we need and of course Maitreya will appear and institute the New World Order. Now this will be interesting because to fulfill Nabby's fantasies, either Maitreya will have to teach everyone TM, or all the TM'ers will have to replace Marshy as god with Maitreya. What a dilemma!

The world is waking up, however with so many coming out of their stupor, it is creating quite a commotion. So many groups and individuals are now expressing their needs, all clamoring for a voice, in our new, seamlessly-connected world. Everybody feels important, and empowered. The industrialized nations have set a model for the world, whereby instant gratification, and individual choice, for food, shelter, clothing, communication, transportation, and entertainment, is the norm, and now, everyone wants it. We all want the consumer dream, and the money to participate in it. Also, weaponry is turning into the great equalizer, as even small organizations, and individuals, now have the growing capability to wage war, and extend their influence, through violence. We are so beset with choices and options, too many to evaluate, and it is only through rising consciousness, that we will survive. I have heard that the antidote to a poisonous plant often grows nearby the poisonous one. Like that, all the spiritual interest of the last 50 years, seems to be ripening at the right time, for the world. Quite a front row seat for this transition, and may we all emerge better for it! ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : There is infinite freedom in Vastu, house with 4 wings (square), 3 wings, L-shaped etcetc. We have just seen the start in modern times, and I tend to agree it looks rather boring.

There is plenty of room for individual taste in Vastu, it will come later. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <fleetwood_macncheese@...> wrote : A cool experiment, though I find too much symmetry, in the design of the house shown, for my taste. Though I do like the central silent area of the building, all vastu homes, that I have seen, are this sort of block-like shape - no sun room, or rec room, off to the side. Possibly a better idea for town and city, vs. rural living. It does have a spacious feel, but the mirror symmetry of many of the rooms and spaces, gets a little boring. I find it a solid, supportive, and pleasant space, just not as interesting as it could be, with some improvisation. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : Proportions in Maharishi Vastu Architecture https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvOTQxet5o4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvOTQxet5o4 Proportions in Maharishi Vastu Architecture To learn more about building in tune with the Laws of Nature, please visit http://www.maharishivastu.org Proportion is a key to successful design in nature a...
