Re: [FairfieldLife] Three things I heard

A Fairfield friend and former MIU classmate  whom I admire for his level-headedness thinks  this latest round of activity in Fairfield and  Vedic City is the real thing. "I really think this  is the center of the universe," he said. I hope  for the sake of his business he's right. (He  develops real estate.) 2. Another Fairfield friend and jyotishi says  Maharishi cleverly timed the arrival of the  pundits to coincide with major planetary  transitions that of themselves will bring  noticeable changes. Saturn just transited  into Scorpio, which is not so great, but  Jupiter has gone into Aquarius, which  apparently is a good place for Jupiter.  And next week, Ketu (or was it Rahu?)  transits into someplace good. As a result,  the word will see big changes, some of  them desirable, regardless of what people  do. But those of us still tied to the notion  of man's agency will ascribe the changes  to superradiance and the pundits. Fascinating insights. 3. My chiropractor uses muscle testing to  rank the efficacy of a given supplement or  program on a scale of 10, 10 being worth  doing and anything less being a waste of  time. I finally asked him to rank TM for me.  He said it's a seven on the plus side, with a  "negative three aspect." This notion of a  negative aspect was new to me. When I  asked what it meant, he said TM's mantras  are Hindu gods that sap some energy from  people using the mantras, hence the user  gets some good but pays some price. He  said just about any Indian practice is going  to have this characteristic. My doctor said  last year TM had a negative two aspect, but  lately the price of practice is going up - the  mantras are taking more from their users.  Is it possible your chiropractor is biased against TM? For example, could he be from a religion that finds the use of Hinduism offensive or verboten? If you accept that bija mantras of goddesses bring the "boon" of the deity, you should receive the benefit corresponding to that deity, tempered on your own karmic limitations. And since it is a bija mantra, it should also awaken kundalini. In some people that will be easy and expansive, in some it will have some side effects due to purification. Mantras of a peaceful goddess should also assist in favoring peaceful, calm, transcendent experience, shouldn't it? I know a good number of TMers who used the Saraswati-bija and developed at an accelerated rate, musicianship and an eloquence of speech. I detect a hint of bias. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
