I've seen photos of her at 17, prior to her fame 
on Mexican TV, and there was a pretty 'magical
display' at that time, too, so I don't think 
there has been any enhancement except nature's.

But if you want evidence of a true siddhi, listen
to this description of the amazing powers of 
concentration displayed by actor Colin Farrell
during a nude love scene between the two of them
in 'Ask The Dust.' The speaker is Salma Hayek:

"I have to say that he never, when we were doing 
the scene, he did not once look down. I sometimes 
talk to guys when I am dressed and they talk to 
me like this [looking at her chest]. They don't 
know they're doing it. And Colin was, for all his 
reputation, I was expecting what's he going to do? 
Is he going to try to get too funny here? Never. 
Never took his eyes off mine. No. `How can I 
help,' completely supportive. I was very surprised 
by Colin Farrell because with all the stories you 
hear, I was like, `Oh my God.' But no."

Forget Vaj's stories of being to maintain a state
of transcendence for 10 minutes. That's nothing. 
Standing in front of a nude Salma Hayek and not
looking down -- now THAT is concentration.  :-)

I could be wrong but I always thought Salma's breasts were 
surgically enhanced.

However, I'm not as confident as I once was in identifying surgical 
enhancements...of any sort.  I refer specifically to those horrible 
lips of Angelina Jolie which I was 100% convinced were full of 
injected mutton.

Well, since then I have seen photos of her when she was a child and -
- yup! -- there were those big flappers, just like she has now.  So 
unless her parents were subjecting her to child abuse by injecting 
her lips when she was a mere 6-year-old, I must stand corrected.

While I know it is not true in Salma's case, I don't
think that the appearance of large breasts is neces-
sarily proof of an external siddhi. Any guy who has
encountered the Before and After effects of the 
Wonderbra has learned that sometimes breast size 
can be more of a 'magical display.'  :-)

[FairfieldLife] 'John, Paul, George and Ringo . . . and Lewis'

2006-06-16 Thread Robert Gimbel

B O O K S S T O R Y RELATED LINKS» Have your say » Subscribe to Archivestuff John, Paul, George and Ringo . . . and Lewis 15 June 2006 By FINLAY MCDONALDFor a young American reporter looking for an overseas assignment in early 1968, Vietnam would have been a logical destination. The war was about to turn worse for the US and, as Lewis Lapham asks in this extraordinary little memoir: "Where else do journalists forage for the news if not in the deserts of misfortune?" Instead, he was despatched by the Saturday Evening Post in New York to the "mountains of infinite bliss" - the foothills of the Himalayas, to be precise -
to spend time with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the guru of transcendental meditation, and his newest, very famous disciples, The Beatles. This tiny book - about the size of a CD case and only 110 pages long - is a reprint of Lapham's newspaper essays on the experience. Twenty pages of grainy photographs capture the weirdness of it all (Beach Boy Mike Love, folky Donovan Leitch and actresses Mia Farrow and Jane Asher were also present), as everyone apparently tried hard to look suitably serene. An act of vanity or publishing suicide? Not at all. As the only reporter to be admitted to the inner sanctum
of the Maharishi's ashram, the author is not only an eyewitness to oddball history, but also a keen observer of the Western spiritual hunger that had probably peaked in the previous year's "Summer of Love" and was now about to crash and burn in the Tet Offensive, Nixon's murderous foreign policy and the eventual break-up and disillusionment of the fab four themselves (although they did get much of The White Album out of their Indian retreat). And Lapham can write almost as well as Lennon and McCartney could compose. A long- serving editor of Harper's Magazine, he is a wise and gifted social and political commentator, whose talents must have been obvious to his own editor back in 1968, too. The America he documents so deftly, and, once inside the compound, the picture he draws so economically of the pop stars searching for transcendental enlightenment, combine to wonderful effect.
Neither sentimental nor cynical, With the Beatles is like a great pop song: irresistable, uplifting and just the right length.

??  Terror is a noun.

The problem with the phrase is that it's
*metaphorical*, like "war on drugs" or "war
on poverty."  You can't then say "We're at
war," and take advantage of all the various
things that become possible during wartime,
because "We're at war" is *not* metaphorical.

As I rememebr, in dharma circles, there was some mention that either he or a student of his made the claim he was a reincarnation of a Tibetan master and that never panned out. And how would it "pan out?" Presumably, for the students, there would be "recognition". That's not to say that "recognition" is some wonderful carte blanche of reincarnated "proof"--it also has it's political bullshit, i.e. you could buy an incarnation(!). I cannot remember if it was investigated, was there ever an official letter issued (i.e. from the office of HHDL)? As if that would prove anything. :-)Yeah, well see my above comments. Look, it's OK for you to dislike Rama; he did a lot of things that are far from likable. It's just that I personally think you're making up all this stuff about legtimate Tibetan teachers saying these things. I think *you're* saying them and attributing them to some unnamed Tibetan teacher. Prove me wrong...give the name of the teacher or teachers who said all this and chances are I know them, and can verify it myself.Listen, I have no need to make this stuff up. I just don't have any investment in Zen Master Rama, so I do not tend to keep material on him around for years for that very reason. Again, it's *OK* to dislike Rama and to say anything against him you want to. But don't try to make your own feelings sound more "legitimate" by ascribing them to others, eh? Honestly I'd just rather say nothing than do that. And I don't think comment coming from a Buddhist teacher or lama gives this any more validity other than the fact that this (showing off with siddhis) is a rather arcane aspect of human interaction, and therefore (due to it's rather arcane nature) not something that just Joe Blow is going to be able to comment on with any authority. Therefore I found it helpful. Actually the whole idea of magical display is an interesting one to me, that's the primary reason I mentioned it, as I thought it might also be so for others.

What about the use of the phrase "war on terror."  You cannot have a war 
on an adjective but the right uses it all the time and because it has 
become a reference point the left even uses it.  I guess it has become a 
"colloquial expression."

[FairfieldLife] Erotophobia and the Politics of Lust

A really good new discussion on Integral Naked is The Politics of Lust. Part 1. Power, Hierarchy, and (Non)Monogamy. with Stuart Davis &John Incehttp://in.integralinstitute.org/talk.aspx?id=669They have a free first month and you could probably download most of the material you like in that first months trial, not just this great new talk.John Ince is an erotic arts enthusiast and the co-owner of The Art of Loving sexuality center in Vancouver. As a lawyer and writer he has been professionally involved with sexual issues for over 20 years, and is the author of The Politics of Lust.John and Stu begin the conversation by exploring “erotophobia,” or the irrational fear of sexuality. As John explains, when a natural and healthy part of oneself becomes stigmatized, this affects how you relate to sexuality both in yourself and in others. And, he continues, it is often a relationship of profound fear—one that stretches from the personal to the political, and back again.In fact, John believes that the way that power is distributed in a society will in many ways dictate how that society relates to sexuality. His ideas reflect the general philosophical stance of the pluralistic wave as it has taken shape in this culture over the last three decades or so (and explored, in positive ways, in numerous postmodern discourses, and criticized in such presentations as Boomeritis). Specifically, it is said that the more rigidly hierarchical a society is, where power flows “top down” in a dominance and submission model, then the more that society will fear and even repress sexuality (e.g., Saudi Arabia). But the more that power is distributed through a society based on equality and consensus, the more comfortable that society is likely to be with sexuality (e.g. Holland, parts of West Coast North America).Of course, John isn’t suggesting that all hierarchies are bad. If the police need to respond to an emergency, taking a vote on who should jump in the squad car is just ridiculous—someone needs to be in charge who can make quick decisions. Likewise, Stu points out, there are two different kinds of hierarchies in the world, and they have precisely opposite functions! Pathological or dominator hierarchies are of the sort that John was describing, where power is imperialistically exerted with no real concern for the wellbeing of those submitting to that force. Natural or growth hierarchies are ubiquitous in the universe, and are in fact the structure of increasing care, concern, and inclusiveness. One such growth hierarchy is atoms, molecules, cells, organisms. Another is letters, words, sentences, paragraphs. In both examples, each previous holon (or whole/part) is transcended-and-included in the subsequent holon. Organisms do not hate their molecules, and paragraphs do not repress their words—they embrace them in a greater whole! Nor could you have organisms and paragraphs without first having molecules and words, because the growth towards greater wholeness is directional, which is to say, hierarchical (holarchical).In human development, one important growth hierarchy follows moral development from egocentric (me), to ethnocentric (us), to worldcentric (all of us), to Kosmocentric (all sentient beings). And just like organisms and paragraphs, you cannot be Kosmocentric without first growing through and integrating the earlier perspectives that are fundamental and intrinsic to this deeper, wider embrace. In humans, dominator hierarchies only stem from the lower levels of the growth hierarchy (egocentric and ethnocentric) and primarily someone from worldcentric or higher could even imagine an alternative to authoritarian power structures. Therefore, the only way to get rid of dominator hierarchies is to encourage development through growth hierarchies! Unfortunately, because both are called hierarchies, many well-meaning folks in their efforts to get rid of the former, also toss the later, and out the window goes the only real key to this incredibly complex jigsaw puzzle.John and Stu go on to explore the meaning and relevance of monogamy in a post-conventional context, and the many ways one can have deeply loving, ethical, and stable relationships free of a strict “ownership” mentality with your partner. John also speaks about the need for a new kind of sex worker, one that is on par with any other kind of professional in our society. You don’t go to an alley for dental cleaning, a massage, or therapy, why on earth is that where you have to go if you want hands-on professional assistance with your sexual wellbeing?Think politics and integral theory exists only from the neck up? Not so! We invite you to join John and Stu as they dance along all the chakras, bringing a frisky and playful Eros to each

The correct quote is "enjoying their husbands' deaths."

It doesn't MATTER what it was "because of."  It
was an inexcusably vile thing to say, and of
course completely untrue.

> husbands were dead because they  had been unfaithful.

She did indeed suggest their husbands had been
unfaithful, the implication being the widows were
happy to get rid of them.

It doesn't get much more offensive than that.

I don't know where it says that in her book. But then she has 
also been misquoted as having said "they were happy that their husbands 
were dead". Her reference to enjoying their husbands deaths  was because 
 of the media attention these four were getting for blaming their 
husbands deaths on Bush,  demanding a commission to do an 
investigation and getting the compensations jacked up and having the media hang 
on to their every word. Ann Coulter referred to them as media heroes. However 
she never referred to them as being happy their husbands were dead because they 
had been unfaithful.

  Right.  A Republican-controlled congressional
committee could certainly have been trusted to be
thoroughly objective.

Criticizing them is one thing.  Saying they were

This commission didn't come up with anything different that 
any  congressional committee could have come up with and they are already 
paid to do that. It was no big deal. As for the *widows*, Coulter criticized 
them for complaining about the original amount of the settlement that the 
average person was going to receive which they thought was far too little 
and should be much more. I think the average settlement ended up being 1.6 
million. By the way how much did Oklahoma City Bombing victims get? And she 
criticized the *Jersey girls* for their love of attention by the media and 
trying to make the commission all about them and their own personal 
suffering.

I don't know whether Robin's work is on iTunes

if it is, you might search for "Finn and the
Old Man's House," from an album called "Wheel

Williamson.

It's a fairly short tale, only 8 minutes long. 
I've seen Robin stretch a story out for an hour, 
with not a glimmer of boredom in the audience.

I'd suggest you check the definition of
"invective," by the way; in this case it
doesn't fit very well.  And it isn't quite
clear what you might mean by "your talent
for" it "is well-placed, and well-deserved."
The "invective," such as it is, may be well
placed on, and well deserved by, Coulter;
but not my *talent* for it.  (Note that one
doesn't need hyphens in this construction.)

I can't wait. But sadly, I'll have to. Maybe it
will come to Montpellier. But barring that, I'll
have to wait for the video or search the Torrent
wasteland. 

I love Garrison Keillor. Marvellous storyteller/
bard. I've only seen one better in my life, Robin
Williamson, originally of the Incredible String
Band.

Well then you have to bring along my favorite Far Side
cartoon. It's set in hell. Flames, tortured souls, the
whole bit. Two devils are watching this guy pushing 
a wheelbarrow, probably forever. He's sweating, but
there's this big, shit-eating grin on his face and he's
whistling. One of the devils is saying to the other,
"We've got to watch this guy...he's got a bad attitude."

May the 'tude be with you...

I don't know if you're a "Prairie Home Companion" fan but I saw the film 
yesterday afternoon (Robert Altman directed) and really enjoyed it.  I 
think it will be a bigger hit on DVD.  The Harrelson and Reilly "Bad 
Jokes" song is a riot.

As an editor, I can assure you that "that" is
being used incresaingly instead of "who," for
men and women, in any context, even by educated
people.  It's just sloppiness.

Cool. Sounds like a neat event. So do you have expectations
about it? Not expectations in the bad sense :-)...I'm just 
wondering what you are looking forward to.

It's a nice inviation. Those who are not used to the
way that Tibetan traditions do these things may find
it a bit odd. Speaking to the group as a whole, if 
you do, and have things to say about this invitation, 
I for one would love to hear them. You're an interesting 
and educated group of seekers, and it would be fascinating 
to hear how you react to this style of presentation. 

I was struck by its simple, unassuming honesty. It just
lays out what the event is about, and assumes a certain
level of shared belief, and proficiency in that shared 
belief, in the audience to whom it is addressed. 

I particularly like the list of prerequisites for the 
retreat -- that is a masterpiece of understatement and 
respect for one's peers. If you've been around the 
Tibetan Buddhist block, you nod your head and say,
"Cool...sounds like it will be a nice group of people
attending." If you haven't, you realize that you have
more to learn. Nice gesture either way.

Ah, super, I hoeever will be 
only able to attend this retreat below:

Drub-chodFriday 6-9pm Initiation to the Dorje Drollo Mandala/ Tsog 
feastSaturday and Sunday 9am  12pm / 1pm- 5pm Recitation and ritual 
activities of the Drollo MandalaLocation: Quarry Arts Building Room 
150(East of Whole Foods) at 715 Hill St.
Rinpoche has asked the sangha to do a yearly short, but 
intensive Dorje Drollo Drub Chod. He strongly encourages all RSL sanghas 
throughout the world to join in the practice and tsog on this important day, 
dedicating the merit to all sentient beings and to world peace.A 
Drub Chod is a structured event over several days consisting of the Empowerment, 
instruction and practice of the sadhana. This gives students a chance to work on 
accumulation and meditation in Rinpoches presence, receiving added blessings 
and guidanceAugust 4th is the most auspicious day on the calendar as it 
marks the Anniversary of Padmasambhavas manifestation as Dorje Drollo to subdue 
all harmful corrupters of the Dharma. Therefore please make an effort to arrive 
the Friday evening of the event, which will continue through Saturday and Sunday 
Dorje Drollo is the main Heruka deity for the RSL sangha, having a 
direct connection to Rinpoches Younge lineage of which he is the family lineage 
holder. The Terton who revealed this text is Younge Migyur Dorje and it is the 
most widely used Dorje Drollo practice in Tibet. In this uncommon version, Dorje 
Drollo is visualized in union with Sengdong-ma and protected by Mahakala. One 
must have Buddhist Refuge to participate, understand and accept the Tsog feast,

There are times, Judith, when your talent for invective
is well-placed, and well-deserved. This is one of them.

As an English major and a person who makes his living
as a writer, I couldn't help but notice "widows that 
have come out and defended Ann Coulters remarks." [sic]
Not "widows *who* have come out..." All the difference
in the world, even if it's unconscious. 

And with reason. Women who speak out, from Lysistrata 
to Cindy Sheehan to these women, tend to be treated as 
"things" rather than as human beings by those who bow
to the status quo.

The reason men like Ann Coulter is that she has forgotten
what it is to be a woman, and thinks and acts like just
another stupid man.

By saying, among other things, that they were
"enjoying their husbands' deaths" and suggesting
their husbands must have been playing around with
other women.

(These would be the women, just for the record, whose
activism resulted in the 9/11 commission to determine
what really happened--despite the ferocious resistance
of the Bush administration.)

So I guess *these* widows have been enjoying their
husbands' deaths, presumably because they had been
playing around with other women.

BTW, Wilber isn't dissing Schroedinger's take on
physics and mysticism here, just in case Vaj chose
this quote mentioning Schroedinger to suggest that
Wilber would dismiss the quote Curtis and I have
been discussing.

The quote comes from a Schroedinger essay that Wilber
included in the "Quantum Questions: Mystical Writings
of the World's Great Physicists" collection he edited
of examples of how physicists *should* deal with
mysticism.

FWIW, from what I understand of Hagelin's approach,
it's very different from the Fred Alan Wolf-type
approach.  Whether Wilber would go after Hagelin,
I have no idea; and if he did, whether he'd do so
on the basis of correctly understanding what Hagelin
says, or just because Wilber assumes Hagelin is of
the same ilk as Wolf, I have no idea either.

It certainly would be fascinating to see a dialogue
between Wilber and Hagelin.

However wonderfully well intentioned, most of these theories—which   play on the theme that the "new physics" (quantum and relativistic)   supports/suggests/proves a mystically unified worldview—most of these   theories are totally crippled by trying to simply extend a flatland   monological paradigm into dialogical and translogical domains (more   of the flatland "bigger portions of bad food" approach). They   generally take certain mathematical formalisms (especially the   Schroedinger wave equation and its collapse upon measurement) and   give them a very wide interpretation (despite the fact that   physicists themselves are sharply divided over how to interpret the   formalisms), and they then wed this very loose and generous   interpretation with their often equally loose interpretation of   mystical spirituality, and the result is supposed to be something   like, the new physics supports or even proves a mystical worldview.   (Physics and mysticism are pronounced cousins, even though we all   know what happens when cousins marry.)This inbred marriage, of   course, is promptly called "the new paradigm," and absolutely   everything else is swept aside and the New Era announced. Danah   Zohar: "The idea of a 'quantum society' stems from a conviction that   a whole new paradigm is emerging from our description of quantum   reality and that this paradigm can be extended to change radically   our perception of ourselves and the social world we want to live in.   A wider appreciation of quantum reality can give us the conceptual   foundations we need to bring about a positive revolution in   society" (The quantum society).From formalisms describing the lowest,   shallowest, least conscious, least-depthed holons in existence,   "extended to a paradigm" that is supposed to cover dialogical,   intersubjective, cultural exchange based on mutual understanding and   mutual recognition: this is more than a quantum leap, it is a   Guinness Book of Records leap of faith, and bad faith at that.   Quantum formalisms cannot even account for the fundamentals of   biology and autopoiesis, let alone economics, psychology, literature,   poetry, morals and ethics, to name a vital few. But physicalists are   so used to thinking that "most fundamental" means "most significant"   that they believe all higher branches of knowledge must be grounded   in least-depthed holons or not be grounded at all. Thus the constant   tendency to "extend physics" (however imaginatively interpreted)   directly to any and all domains. (...huge snip)   So, does he ever name names? What's his take on John Hagelin? Not yet, that I've heard--but then Hagelin hasn't published best-selling books (however KW has blasted, What the Bleep). He has more directly gone after Fred Alan Wolf and some more popular theorists.
