Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Well, well, well.

[Michael Jackson mjackso...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

It is important to use mantras as part of your daily practice with yoga and 
Ayurveda. Choose a quite clean place at home. Take five minutes in the morning 
to chant your specific mantra for your dosha or one prescribed by an Ayurvedic 
practitioner or spiritual teacher.
Give your mantra an intent or meaning and then let it resonate within.
Vata dosha can chant the following:Hrim (pronounced hreem), Srim (pronounced 
shreem) , Klim (pronounced kleem), Saum (pronounced sa aum)Soft mantras are 
best for vata dosha.
Pitta dosha can chant the following:Srim (pronounced shreem), Klim (pronounced 
kleem), Aim (pronounced aym), Saum (pronounced sa aum)Cooling and soft mantras 
are the best for pitta dosha.
Kapha dosha can chant the following:Krim (pronounced kreem), Hum (pronounced 
hoom), Hrim (pronounced hreem), Dum (pronounced doom), Hsauh (pronounced hau 
sau)Warm and stimulating mantras are the best for kapha dosha.

     Meditation isn't forever.  At some point that third eye is open and will 
remain open regardless of whether you meditate or not.  IOW, "you're there."  
In that state I call it "pure consciousness on demand."
 
 Last week I recommended Swami Radha's book "Mantras Words of Power".  She was 
a German woman who studied with a Swami Sivananda.  Even Sivananda's books went 
into different methods of meditation.  Ever wonder why it was okay for kids to 
use a "walking mantra" but not recommended for adults?  Of course you can 
meditate with eyes open.  And I frequently write about what I call "adjunct" 
mantras, particularly the ones for ayurveda.  These can be used in additional 
to whatever practice you do be it TM or otherwise though maybe they'll throw 
you out of the domes if you let them know you use them.
 
 The ayurvedic mantras are very standard but not taught by MAPI (that I know 
of).  If you've developed a degree of silence then you can evaluate mantras 
yourself.  They're very useful to correct an imbalance.  Of you might need to 
know a bit about ayurveda first.
 
 Point is a lot of this stuff, which Swami Radha points out, is for beginners.  
My tantra guru said the same thing.  The main purpose of asanas is to develop 
the ability to sit in a half lotus pose for a long time.  After a while the 
pose doesn't even matter. 
 
 Why would I want to date at my age?  I don't even have the karma for 
relationships.  Any attempt gets thwarted mysteriously.  My life's complicated 
enough right now to deal with such things.  I'm cleaning house so I can put it 
on the market and get my equity and capital gains out of it.  I don't need a 4 
bedroom house.  I want to downsize things.
 
 I also watch stuff on my TV a little differently than some folks because of 
working in the entertainment industry.  For instance, I am monitoring the "CSI 
Cyber" show to see what they are presenting to their audience.  It's very 
cartoonish and that's why the acting is stilted.  Similarly l like to watch 
very low budget "found footage" movies to see what young folks are up to with 
the medium.  Some of it's very entertaining and good story telling.
 
 I hang around the house because what work I do have is done at home.  That's 
why I liked to go out to places like Starbucks to hang out and chat with 
locals.  But folks aren't going there anymore nor even the locally owned shops. 
 The economy is crashing down despite the lies the government gives you.

    The point is that you and the other Barry seem to spend way too much time 
hanging around the house watching a boob tube and apparently you can't get a

of you seem to practicing any yoga poses or even meditating on your third eye. 
 
 Of course there's nothing wrong with watching TV and movies on Saturday night. 
It's just that tantric yogis aren't supposed to be laying around in bed 
watching TV or movies by themselves - they are supposed to be practicing 
tantric yoga and meditation like normal  spiritual householders with their 
family. 
 
 It's not complicated.

You have a family and kids if I'm not mistaken?  Your lifestyle then differs a 
bit from many of us here.  Also we don't watch TV "per se".  Most of us are 
watching shows and movies at our convenience via streaming.  It's a bit of a 
different world.  Some of us work at computers all day and for me to watch a 
few things on a big screen TV in the evening is better on my eyes than reading 
a book.  It may seem to some that "TV" is more important than it really is to 
us.
 
 My social lifestyle has been in a state of flux.  Some of the folks I used to 
hang out with at Starbucks can no longer afford it and neither can I.  I can 
tell that Starbucks is feeling the pinch due to the promos and what things they 
change about their member  program.  This is happening to a lot of US business 
including even McDonalds (which I don't frequent).  Needless to say I feel a 
bit pissed because even my simple low cost extras have been stolen from me.  
And because I started studying economics back in the late 1970s I know what has 
happened and why I should be pissed.  The majority should be too but most are 
like in a sleepwalking fantasy land.
 
 
    
  It was not a big pick up truck that I purchased.  It was a midsize, of what 
previously was a small size, before the 2015  redesign. 
  I've been very pleased with it, especially coming off a very basic work  
truck with few amenities. 
  That truck purchased in 2008 with the recession in mind, also  served it's 
purpose well. 
  Thanks for asking.
     
 
 Your post I read suggested you were going to do this because of low gas prices 
and unless your local dealer was having a  blowout to reduce stock during the 
low prices it might not have been a good purchase unless it's something you 
really need.  I wouldn't trust the energy companies at all with their gas 
pricing.  But then I live in a refinery town where the chatter is more about 
what is really going on.  I see folks driving pickups as dick extensions.  They 
appear to never be used to haul anything.  Even a friend who is a contractor 
drives a small pickup.

   Cultist, cure thyself. You and Steve-o seem to  feel no compunctions about 
projecting your "They hate  Maharishi" fantasies onto Michael and I. T'ain't 
true,  at least in my case. How is that NOT "assigning us beliefs,  emotions, 
and motivations?" 
  
  I don't consider myself "obsessed" with Maharishi and/or the TM  movement. If 
I'm obsessed with anything, it's cults and cultists in general. I find them 
fascinating,  no matter what the cult. On FFL, I *admit* to sometimes  posting 
things that have the intention of helping  long-term TMers realize what 
cultists they have become,  by pointing out how strongly they *react* to the 
things I post.  I have been hoping YOU would learn from  this, but so far you 
haven't. 
  
  ButIdidn't even do that in this case. All I did was do a  couple of 10-second 
Google searches that show that the  TMO's latest buzzphrase in their latest 
propaganda ("global  repair mechanism") is ripped off from one of the current  
"buzzword du jour" you can find in a number of scientific,  medical, and IT 
articles and papers. And how did  you react to that? By trying to demonize ME. 
AGAIN.  
  WhatamI to *think* about this, other than you got  your cultist buttons 
pushed? AGAIN.  
  Here'sachallenge for you, Feste. As a long-time TMer who claims not to  be a 
cultist and who in fact seems to be affronted by  the very notion that I 
suggest you're one, how do  you react to the propaganda piece by David 
Orme-Johnson that srijau just posted, claiming that (per TM dogma) "TM never  
does any harm." Was that YOUR experience, in all of the years  you spent in the 
TM movement? It certainly  wasn't mine. 
  
  Forexample,long before the Sidhis appeared, I was on a course in  which 
several dozen people were placed in special "twitching groups" and forced to 
sit together at the  front of the lecture hall because they were twitching and 
spasming and  shouting uncontrollably all the time, 24/7,  even when not in 
meditation. It looked and sounded like a convention of  people suffering from 
Tourette's Syndrome. I  personally know that this condition persisted in many  
of these people for months or years after they went home from  this course, and 
that there had never been any sign of such  an affliction before they went to 
that TTC course.  Are you going to join with Orme-Johnson and tell me that  TM 
was not the *cause* of all of this? Just wondering...

       Youseemto live in a fantasy world, a world all your own, in which  other 
people are there simply to play the roles you choose to  assign to them. You 
invent for them beliefs, emotions, and  motivations that bear no relation to

that all it took was 20 seconds  to prove how full of shit the TM movement is 
in the crafting of its  propaganda.  :-) 
  Or maybe they were both about to lie and claim that the phrase "global repair
