Now, send that Sarah Palin, and send her back to the Sea.
Send her back, that sweet, sweet witch of the sea.
The deep sound of the calling waves, back in the colden air.
Fresh and pure. Alaska calls: come back home, girl!

Now send our Sarah, send her back to the sea...
Send our Sarah Palin, now send her back to the sea...

She was once a mermaid, as fine as fine could be.

I did some drugs in the sixties...
The pot was good from Columbia.
The hashish was best from Afghanistan and Lebanon.
Tried some other drugs, but found them to be poison...LSD, Opium, 
Meth...they are killers, and thank God, I knew it, but where I grew 
up was real bad...not an excuse, just how confused I was in those 
days...
This was all before I cleaned up my act, and began meditation and 
healed from all that crap.
The music supported rebeliousness and drug taking.
Especially from people like Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, 
Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Janis Joplin(mostly alchohol), Mick 
Jagger, James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Sly and the Family Stone, and 
others.
It was a bi-polar time; not such a happy time for me.
I lived in a dark part of Philadelphia, where there was a lot of 
violence, drugs and Viet Nam sisters, who were real angry...
Many black folks were ready to 'kill whitey'.
Not a happy time, dispite what you hear about it.
At least not from my perspective, at the time.
We paid the dues in the Sixties, that make the transition that is 
happening now, to be possible.

[FairfieldLife] 'Zionist Messiah Definition' ~Obama/Biden '08

2008-10-24 Thread Robert













 window.google_render_ad(); 

Messiah (Hebrew - "Annointed One") -
1.  In Jewish tradition, a person of the line of King David (a "ben yishai" - 
son of Jesse, father of David) who will return the Jews from exile, rebuild the 
Temple in Jerusalem and initiate a period of prosperity and peace. In that 
sense, belief in Messiah was simply belief in restoration of Israel and an end 
to present troubles. The Messianic idea became prevalent and gained adherents 
in times of extreme desperation, such as the conquest of Judea by the 
Babylonians, the Roman conquest, the rule of Hadrian and various periods in the 
Middle Ages. Additional beliefs associate the messiah with the resurrection of 
the dead, supposed to occur at the end of days, and with supremacy of Judaism.  
2. An "Ephraitic Messiah" - that is a forerunner of the true Messiah, son of 
David, who foretells the coming of the Messiah. This concept existed in ancient 
Judaism and the Book of Zerubavel, written in the Middle Ages apparently, tells 
of a woman, named Hephzibah, who accompanies Messiah ben Joseph into war with 
the enemies, where he is killed. After his death, she will save Jerusalem in 
anticipation of her son's, Messiah ben David's, rule. In other traditions, the 
prophet Elijah will announce the coming of the Messiah. 
3. In Christian tradition, the Christ, a divine personage who will initiate the 
kingdom of God on earth. 
4. Any of numerous Jewish false pretenders to the messianic crown, such as 
Shabbetai Tzvi, David Alroi, Isaac Luria and his disciples and in our own time, 
the deceased Rabbi of the Lubavitch (Chabad) Hassidim, who is worshipped as 
Messiah. 
The concept of Messiah is not part of biblical Judaism and developed as an 
informal folk tradition with many variants and different understandings. 
Messiah is the subject of numerous folk tales and Hassidic songs. One concept 
of the Messiah is given by Maimonides  (Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon), in his 
commentary on tractate Sanhedrin, of the Babylonian Talmud:
"The Messianic age is when the Jews will regain their independence and all 
return to the land of Israel. The Messiah will be a very great king, he will 
achieve great fame, and his reputation among the gentile nations will be even 
greater than that of King Solomon. His great righteousness and the wonders that 
he will bring about will cause all peoples to make peace with him and all lands 
to serve him Nothing will change in the Messianic age, however, except that 
Jews will regain their independence. Rich and poor, strong and weak, will still 
exist. However it will be very easy for people to make a living, and with very 
little effort they will be able to accomplish very much it will be a time 
when the number of wise men will increase...war shall not exist, and nation 
shall no longer lift up sword against nation The Messianic age will be 
highlighted by a community of the righteous and dominated by goodness and 
wisdom. It will be ruled by the
 Messiah, a righteous and honest king, outstanding in wisdom, and close to God. 
Do not think that the ways of the world or the laws of nature will change, this 
is not true. The world will continue as it is. The prophet Isaiah predicted 
"The wolf shall live with the sheep, the leopard shall lie down with the kid." 
This, however, is merely allegory, meaning that the Jews will live safely, even 
with the formerly wicked nations. All nations will return to the true religion 
[monotheism, although not necessarily Judaism] and will no longer steal or 
oppress. Note that all prophecies regarding the Messiah are allegorical - Only 
in the Messianic age will we know the meaning of each allegory and what it 
comes to teach us. Our sages and prophets did not long for the Messianic age in 
order that they might rule the world and dominate the gentilesthe only 
thing they wanted was to be free for Jews to involve themselves with the Torah 
and its wisdom."
The understanding of the "End of Days" in Isaiah is more ambitious: 
ISA 2:1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and
Jerusalem.
ISA 2:2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the 
LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be 
exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
ISA 2:3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the 
mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of 
his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the 
law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
ISA 2:4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and 
they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning 
hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn 
war any more.
While Isaiah does not mention a Messiah in that passage, a later passage does: 
ISA 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us

Well, I needn't further my desire, for enlightenment...I have had a 
fierce desire for enlightenment, liberation whatever you wish to call 
It.
But, there have been slow periods, on the path..but things seem to be 
picking up now...because of the purification, in general of things...
But, I do work with someone, who teaches understanding and healing 
with the energy of the soul...
I do TM still. 
I use healing herbs.
I use holosync cds, although this has fallen off, somewhat.
I like to just sometimes sit in meditation, with little breath.
I do some tantric breath techniques...kundalini pranayama.
I stay away from alchohol.
I try to get enough rest, and eat enough protein, but also like to 
fast.
I enjoy writing.
At this point, I enjoy seeking the 'Truth of Things'.
Enlightenment is not a goal...it is a path of seeking.
I don't think it ever ends.

We never thought we'd be here, but we are.

On June 8, a
group of Hillary's most ardent supporters formed a coalition called
Just Say No Deal. What followed was a viral explosion which grew
organically and virtually. We put our families, jobs, reputations and
even, in some cases, our lives and safety on the line, to stand up and
speak out in the media
against the corruption of the DNC and the thuggery of the Obama
Campaign and ACORN.  The abuse inflicted upon Hillary supporters in the
blogosphere and on the trail is now being felt by McCain supporters.
And as a female candidate, Sarah Palin is getting a taste of what 'Our
Gal' went through.
 
Just Say No Deal is
made up of ordinary Americans: moms, soldiers, doctors, nurses,
waitresses, landscapers, bankers, delegates, election judges, precinct
chairs, professors... and yes, even plumbers.  Google 'we will not be
silenced' and hear their stories for yourself!
 
No matter who you are or where you stand TODAY, the injustices that brought us 
together this year were REAL.

That said, you may have moved on and we respect that decision. We truly do.

(snip)
What we are seeing is a replay of the Hillary campaign at the end...
Disarray, panic, finger pointing, chaos and finally the acceptance of 
defeat.
The McCain campaign followed the Hillary/Rove model.
One of her main advisors works for Fox news, as does Heir Rove.
We are through with this vibration of seperation, race-baiting, homo-
phobic challenges, abortion is murder, war is great type of mentality.
Grow up, wake up and smell the coffee.

No, no, no, just say NO!
Because we have seen that movie before, many times...
It cannot happen this way again...it's not in the cards.
Barack Obama is protected by the Celestial Realms.
Jesus was also protected by the same force, as are many other's of 
destiny.
The difference is: at that time, the cards were different, and the 
angels pulled back...and so the crucifixion took place...and a man as 
innocent as Barack Obama, 
Was murdered (in a most horific, torturous, barbaric way, by the 
elitist Romans, and Jews of the time)
And why?... because they were afraid of him and mocked his message.
This is 2,000 years later.
And, we have evolved as a race of humanoids, on the planet earth...
Thanks to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who in his life plan, decided to 
pass onto Mahasamadhi on the 'Super Tuesday'...
On that day, a torch was passed to a New Generation.
On that day, Senator Barack Obama, surprised the Status Quo,
By overturning the tables, in the Temple.

he was leading people on who wanted to hear a time frame. as long as 
it encouraged people to continue the TM-Sids, he would say it. there 
isn't any way to ascertain someone's time to awakening with each of 
our individual karmas, but the Maharishi believed that practice of 
the TM-Sids would accelerate the preparation of the mindbody for 
sustained enlightenment.

Poor old raunchy, still fighting the last war. The bit about Sarah

nonsense. Palin is being rejected not because she is a woman but
because she is an ignoramus, a moron -- and a nasty, divisive one at

2008-10-24 Thread Robert






Nixon, said, that after John Kennedy 'stole' the election from him... 
He said, this will never happen to me again... 
So, many years, he went over and over again, in his mind... 
The defeat and this promise to himself... 
Unfortunately, for the rest of us, this became the motto of the Republican 
Party, 
And the politics of Karl Rove. 
Time washes away all things, and thank God, now, that we will have a leader, 
Who will purge these past paranoid deeds, from our collective political 
conscious.

[FairfieldLife] Secretaries of State being trained to purge voters by Bush appointee

2008-10-24 Thread Rick Archer
Secretaries of State being trained to purge voters by Bush appointee.

http://www.gregpalast.com/

http://www.stealbackyourvote.org/

Palast said former Colorado Secretary of State Donetta Davidson has made the
state the epicenter of the rampant practice of purging voter registration
lists for alleged irregularities - a tactic now even more en vogue in the
wake of new legislation backed by the Bush administration.

Donetta Davidson, who had been secretary of state in the state of Colorado,
removed 19.4 percent - one out of five voters in the state of Colorado, she
removed their names

George Bush made her head of the brand new [Orwellian] Election Assistance
Commission, where she can train all 50 secretaries of state in her purging
ways.

"Now under the [Orwellian] Help America Vote Act the entire nation is
Floridated, but the champ, [former Florida Secretary of State] Katherine
Harris, ain't got nothing on Colorado," Palast said. "We're sitting at purge
ground zero. The reason that there's a convention here is this is a swing
state where Democrats are piling in, tens of thousands of new voters in
Colorado at the top of the bucket, but at the bottom of the bucket the
spread sheets are going (poof).

"What's happening? Donetta Davidson, who had been secretary of state in the
state of Colorado, removed 19.4 percent - one out of five voters in the
state of Colorado, she removed their names. And what happens to Davidson as
a result of this? The answer is George Bush made her head of the brand new
Election Assistance Commission, where she can train all 50 secretaries of
state in her purging ways. In fact, President Bush, instead of calling her
chairwoman of the EAC, was going to call her the Purgeon General."

 

Ms. Donetta L. Davidson was nominated by President George W. Bush and
confirmed by unanimous consent of the United States Senate on July 28, 2005
to serve on the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC). She was
reappointed to a second term on October 2, 2008. Ms. Davidson served as
Chair of the EAC in 2007 was elected Vice Chair in 2008. Her term of service
extends through December 12, 2011. Ms. Davidson, formerly Colorado's
secretary of state, comes to EAC with experience in almost every area of
election administration - everything from county clerk to secretary of
state.

 

Colorado Secretary of State is discussed here,
 "Party Hacks" 

In Colorado, Secretary of State Donetta Davidson faces embarrassment over
her leadership in the Elections Center, a nominally nonpartisan state office
that has accepted donations from e-voting companies at the same time it
touted their machinery. She also backed the scheme, shot down in state
court, to allow partisan redrawing of congressional districts in 2003. 

She is also involved in the provisional ballot fraud discussed under HAVA
Fraud

[FairfieldLife] Joseph Galloway: Republicans summon ugly old ghosts

Commentary: Republicans summon ugly old ghosts

Joseph L. Galloway
McClatchy Newspapers, October 24, 2008
http://www.mcclatchydc.com/251/story/54745.html


This is an autumn of great discontent as not just the United States,
but the entire world trembles on the brink of an economic recession
that may bring the kind of pain that's known only to the oldest among us.

With days to go before Election Day, the nation watches as a
presidential candidate and his political party unravel, frantically
dragging every ugly ghost out of the closet in an attempt not only to
fool everyone, but also to scare everyone.

They appeal to the worst remnants of racism that cling like kudzu to a
dying magnolia. Their robot phone dialers intrude on millions of
uneasy citizens with messages of hate and fear and envy and greed.

They try to paper their opponent with guilt by association: He
associated with a man who, decades before they ever met, belonged to a
group of wild-eyed student revolutionaries.

They and their forces of darkness falsely claim that he's a Muslim at
the same time they attack him for belonging to a Christian church
whose black minister aimed angry sermons at white America.

They have presided for the last eight years over a stunning
redistribution of wealth: They've turned Robin Hood upside down,
taking from the poor and the middle class and giving to the very rich.

Yet they tar their opponent for daring to suggest that it's time to
turn the tables and redirect some of that wealth to those who are
jobless, homeless and hopeless, and to the millions of other
hard-working Americans who are likely to join those growing ranks in
the months and years to come.

They call him a socialist for embracing a principle that's rooted
deeply in the teachings of the Christianity that they wear on their
sleeves but cannot find room for in their hearts.

They promise to "correct the mistakes" of their own president, their
own members of Congress, their own appointed overseers and regulators,
if only we give them another chance.

They promise to punish the Wall Street tycoons and the big bankers who
in their greed built this house of cards that's crashing down onto
Main Street. Yes they will. Surely they will smite the robber barons
who brushed a few crumbs from their groaning tables of riches into the
laps of the very people who now vow to punish their benefactors of
great wealth.

They say this even as the barons, fat with bonuses and commissions,
pick over the carcass of a fallen economy, carving out another tasty
morsel or two for themselves.

Is it any wonder that Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin and the
Republican Party are sinking like the Titanic? Do they take us all for
complete morons?

Granted, they may have reason to think that. After all, not only did
we (with some help from the Supreme Court) elect George W. Bush our
president, we also re-elected him to a second term. Fooled us twice,
they think, so maybe the third time is charmed.

That, however, doesn't seem likely as a cold, hard winter looms this
November. Not likely at all.

Here's a prediction for you, for them: McCain and Palin will go down
to defeat by 15 to 20 points, and they'll take a heap of Republicans
down with them.

The financial collapse and the painful fallout that's stalking the
nation won't be righted overnight, however. Putting Barack Obama in
the White House and giving the Democrats a veto-proof majority in
Congress won't mean that happy days are here again.

Hard work, sacrifice and suffering lie ahead. It could take a decade
or more to repair all the damage that Bush, Dick Cheney and all their
henchmen in prison, out of prison and on their way to prison have done
to our economy, our military, our standing in the world, our
Constitution and to civil discourse, common decency and competent
governance.

In the meantime, we Americans would do well to try to remember all
those things that our grandmothers told us about how to get by in hard
times.

How to get by on a lot less. How to grow a vegetable garden.

How to squeeze a nickel till the buffalo bellows.

How to appreciate the small joys of family and friends.

How to share what you have, no matter how little you have, with those
who have nothing.

Someday we may be able to tell our grandchildren about the Election of
'08 when we, the people, turned away from anger, hate and greed and
once again embraced the better angels of our nature.

[FairfieldLife] As Losing Looms GOP, McCain Camp form circular firing squad

2008-10-24 Thread do.rflex


Blame game: GOP forms circular firing squad

Jonathan Martin and Mike Allen and John F. Harris
Politico, October 24, 2008
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1008/14891.html


With despair rising even among many of John McCain's own advisers,
influential Republicans inside and outside his campaign are engaged in
an intense round of blame-casting and rear-covering — much of it
virtually conceding that an Election Day rout is likely.

A McCain interview published Thursday in The Washington Times sparked
the latest and most nasty round of finger-pointing, with senior GOP
hands close to President Bush and top congressional aides denouncing
the candidate for what they said was an unfocused message and poorly
executed campaign.

McCain told the Times that the administration "let things get
completely out of hand" through eight years of bad decisions about
Iraq, global warming, and big spending.

The candidate's strategists in recent days have become increasingly
vocal in interviews and conference calls about what they call unfair
news media coverage and Barack Obama's wide financial advantage — both
complaints laying down a post-election storyline for why their own
efforts proved ineffectual.

These public comments offer a whiff of an increasingly acrid
behind-the-scenes GOP meltdown — a blame game played out through
not-for-attribution comments to reporters that operatives know will
find their way into circulation.

Top Republican officials have let it be known they are distressed
about McCain's organization. Coordination between the McCain campaign
and Republican National Committee, always uneven, is now nearly
dysfunctional, with little high-level contact and intelligence-sharing
between the two.

"There is no communication," lamented one top Republican. "It drives
you crazy."

At his Northern Virginia headquarters, some McCain aides are already
speaking of the campaign in the past tense. Morale, even among some of
the heartiest and most loyal staffers, has plummeted. And many past
and current McCain advisers are warring with each other over who led
the candidate astray.

One well-connected Republican in the private sector was shocked to get
calls and resumes in the past few days from what he said were senior
McCain aides — a breach of custom for even the worst-off campaigns.

"It's not an extraordinarily happy place to be right now," said one
senior McCain aide. "I'm not gonna lie. It's just unfortunate."

"If you really want to see what `going negative' is in politics, just
watch the back-stabbing and blame game that we're starting to see,"
said Mark McKinnon, the ad man who left the campaign after McCain
wrapped up the GOP primary. "And there's one common theme: Everyone
who wasn't part of the campaign could have done better."

"The cake is baked," agreed a former McCain strategist. "We're
entering the finger-pointing and positioning-for-history part of the
campaign. It's every man for himself now."

A circular firing squad is among the most familiar political rituals
of a campaign when things aren't going well. But it is rare for
campaign aides to be so openly participating in it well before
Election Day.

One current senior campaign official gave voice to this "Law of the
Jungle" ethic, defending the campaign against second-guessers who say
it was a mistake to throw away his "experience" message in an attempt
to match Obama's "change" mantra.

"Everybody agreed with the strategy," said this official.  "We were
unlikely to be successful without being aggressive and taking risks."

Running as a steady hand and basing a campaign on Obama's sparse
résumé was a political loser, it was decided.

"The pollsters and the entire senior leadership of campaign believe
that experience vs. change was not a winning message and formulation,
the same way it was no winning formula with Hillary Clinton."

Beyond the obvious reputation-burnishing — much of it by professional
operatives whose financial livelihoods depend on ensuring that they
are not blamed for a bad campaign — there is a more substantive
dimension. Barring a big McCain comeback, and a turnabout in numerous
congressional races where the party is in trouble, the GOP is on the
brink of a soul-searching debate about what to do to reclaim power.
Much of that debate will hinge on appraisals of what McCain could have
done differently...

look at both.  Ayurveda lists the qualities of the different dosha
types.  The Ayurvedic Institute has a number of articles online as
well as a questionaire to determine both the prakriti (constitution)
and vakriti (current dosha dominance).
http://www.ayurveda.com/

Jyotish has determinants for relationships (usually the strength of
the seventh lord).  Again you would have to look up articles on
relationships.  Be aware there are some different schools of thought
in jyotish but generally the seventh lord and in some cases the
strength of Venus or Jupiter come into play.  You may also find some
articles on the site above for that but jyotish is not a casual
subject and takes some study.  In my case I had a number of courses on
it and some with astrologers who also teach ayurveda (such as Dr.
Robert Svoboda).

There is love of neighbor and the world around you.  From what I can

cleansing going on in some countries.

There is nothing wrong with sexual experiences in the context of 
marriage.  But not outside it.  According to all major religious 
traditions, the sexual act should enhance the experience of love in 
marriage.  Nonetheless, marriage life is a concession for enjoying 
the sexual experience.

If you can find love in this context.  More power to you.  I suspect

But, Rick, Abraham Lincoln initiated the Civil War...and as any 
school child can tell you, over 600,000 Americans died in the Civil 
War. 

Certainly, you are not advocating that war is good, are you? 'Cause 
if you are, you're at odds with 90% of the Obama supporters on this 
forum who have made it clear time and time and time again that war 
under ANY circumstances is unacceptable; that killing under any 
circumstances is unacceptable.

"Killing is a sin" -- Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

Without getting into the specifics of Lincoln's presidency, he is generally
regarded as having been one of our greatest presidents, if not the greatest.
Yet he had a pretty limited political career before taking office. Personal
qualifications are more important than experience. There are plenty of bozos
who've been in government for decades. It seems that if the times are
critical and president possesses the right blend of intelligence,
temperament, and other such qualities, he achieves greatness. I think we're
about to see that happen.

[FairfieldLife] Goldwater's Granddaughter: Why McCain Has Lost Our Vote

2008-10-24 Thread do.rflex


Being Barry Goldwater's granddaughter and living in Arizona, one would
assume that I would be voting for our state's senator, John McCain. I
am still struck by certain 'dyed in the wool' Republicans who are on
the fence this election, as it seems like a no-brainer to me.

Myself, along with my siblings and a few cousins, will not be
supporting the Republican presidential candidates this year. We
believe strongly in what our grandfather stood for: honesty,
integrity, and personal freedom, free from political maneuvering and
fear tactics.

I learned a lot about my grandfather while producing the documentary,
Mr. Conservative Goldwater on Goldwater. Our generation of Goldwaters
expects government to provide for constitutional protections. We
reject the constant intrusion into our personal lives, along with
other crucial policy issues of the McCain/Palin ticket.

My grandfather (Paka) would never suggest denying a woman's right to
choose. My grandmother co-founded Planned Parenthood in Arizona in the
1930's, a cause my grandfather supported. I'm not sure about how he
would feel about marriage rights based on same-sex orientation.

I think he would feel that love and respect for ones privacy is what
matters most and not the intolerance and poor judgment displayed by
McCain over the years. Paka respected our civil liberties and passed
on the message that we should conduct our lives standing up for the
basic freedoms we hold so dear.

For a while, there were several candidates who aligned themselves with
the Goldwater version of Conservative thought. My grandfather had
undying respect for the U.S. Constitution, and an understanding of its
true meanings.

There always have been a glimmer of hope that someday, someone would
"race through the gate" full steam in Goldwater style. Unfortunately,
this hasn't happened, and the Republican brand has been tarnished in a
shameless effort to gain votes and appeal to the lowest emotion, fear.

Nothing about McCain, except for maybe a uniform, compares to the same
ideology of what Goldwater stood for as a politician. The McCain/Palin
plan is to appear diverse and inclusive, using women and minorities to
push an agenda that makes us all financially vulnerable, fearful, and
less safe.

When you see the candidate's in political ads, you can't help but be
reminded of the 1964 presidential campaign of Johnson/Goldwater, the
'origin of spin', that twists the truth and obscures what really matters.

Nothing about the Republican ticket offers the hope America needs to
regain it's standing in the world, that's why we're going to support
Barack Obama. I think that Obama has shown his ability and integrity.

After the last eight years, there's a lot of clean up do. Roll up your
sleeves, Senators Obama and Biden, and we Goldwaters will roll ours up
with you.

I guess women can be sexual and spiritual simultaneously but for

Patañjali, because, according to yoga-suutras the conditio

is through brahma-carya. Sperm prolly contains something
that promotes some neurotransmitters (soma?) or stuff, necessary
for "strong" samaadhi. :/

But then again, perhaps 'viirya' in the latter suutra refers
to something else than in the former...

And furthermore, Indra is in one suukta of Rgveda called
'kapRt' (in Finnish: kyrpä [kuerpae]), which word in another suukta

I know that when Goldwater was running back in the day, the term
"socialist" was a scary term and made people afraid of a candidate who
was called the name.

But in case you haven't noticed the government's interference with our
financial markets, and its becoming a partner in our banking system
and mortgage secondary market has pretty much made this a moot point.

The question for this election is who do you trust at the helm of our
blended socialist-capitalist government?

Hint: it isn't the guy who isn't interested in all those new fangled
computer machine contraptions, dang nab it!  You know, the old guy
wearing the "I'm with stupid" T-shirt.

PS The whole "race card" thing hasn't worked since OJ couldn't beat
his last rap in court.  No one cares what color the next president is
as long as he can understand and fix the financial shit going down.
(second hint: it WILL involve being familiar with computers, and not
being completely stupid.)

[FairfieldLife] Accessorizing The Aura -- "Can I be spiritual and still be sexual?"

2008-10-24 Thread TurquoiseB
[ Last night's official Post Count says that this
is my last post of the week, so I figured I should
go out with a bang. So to speak. :-) ]


One of my favorite ways to pass the incarnation is to
sit in sidewalk cafes and watch passersby, checking
out their auras. Not that I see the auras visually all
the time -- I often don't -- but I always seem to have
the ability to do a quick scan and get a fairly accurate
"readout" of where people are at.

What I'm looking FOR in these "aura scans" is what I 
would call "complete human beings," people who have man-
aged to become comfortable with many different facets
of of their being -- intellectual, emotional, spiritual, 
physical, and yes, sexual. When I spot one of these people, 
I often introduce myself and spend some time chatting 
with them to see if my initial "aura scan" was correct. 
And it's correct far more often than it isn't.

What I'm scanning FOR in these potential new friends is,
in order of its importance to me in a friend -- intelli-
gence, sense of humor, a sense of comfort with their
sexuality, and a sense of spiritual wonder that has not
been worn down by the times we live in.

So it's interesting for me to do this in Sitges and then
log in here at Fairfield Life and do similar "scans" on
people's posts and what they reveal about themselves in
those posts. And one of the things I have noticed is
that people who have spent a lifetime practicing some 
form of spirituality are often lacking in integration of
two of those qualities.

The first is sense of humor. It's amazing to me how many
people on a spiritual path seem to believe that taking 
that path seriously means that they have to become serious.
And I'm grateful that so many on FFL have managed to go
through the TM movement with their senses of humor intact.
The ability to laugh AT one's spiritual path, and at 
oneself for following it, are key, in my opinion, to being
able to actually get somewhere meaningful along that path.

But the second trait that is often sadly lacking in people
on a spiritual path is a feeling that they are comfortable
with their own identity as sexual beings. Many come across
as more uptight than SNL's "Church Lady." Others look down
on those who still enjoy sex as if they were lepers, and
as if their presence here on a "spiritual" forum was an
affront to their oh-so-much-more-evolved sensibilities.

Lately, with the Sarah Palin shopping spree in the news, I
have found myself looking at this latter phenomenon in terms
of "accessorizing." It's as if some people have made an 
unconscious decision about what they can "wear" and still
"look spiritual," in the same way that women look into a 
mirror and make critical decisions about whether this pair
of shoes goes with this outfit, and whether they should wear
this scarf or another one.

Clearly, a *lot* of people on spiritual paths do not believe
that they can EVER "wear" the scarf that has I AM A 
SEXUAL BEING printed on it. They seem to have bought
into the myth that enlightened or highly-evolved people
just don't DO sex. They don't think about it, and they don't
need it...they're "above" sex. And so, even though personally
these people who believe these myths AREN'T above sex, and 
probably think about it all the time, the people playing 
spiritual dress-up believe that they have to act the way 
that they imagine enlightened or highly-evolved people acting.

So they scrub their auras clean of any hint that they are a
man or a woman who has a sexual nature. They eliminate -- or
at least try to eliminate -- sex from their lives and from
their auras altogether. And they seem to believe that doing
this *enhances* the image that they are trying to project 
of themselves as "spiritual."

It may work on some. I'm sure that there are people on FFL 
who are actually impressed by the sexless automatons on Mother
Divine and Purusha. Me, I'm not. I'm more impressed by the
men and women I've met along the spiritual path who have man-
aged to accept their own sexuality and wear it proudly. But
no more proudly than they wear their intelligence, or their
sense of humor, or their daily spiritual practices. All are
aspects of who they are as a complete being, and all are
*equal* aspects of who they are as a complete being. Such 
beings are fun to be around; there is a lack of pretense
and caring about their image about them. They are just who 
they are. 

Whereas those who "accessorize" themselves with a lack of
sexual identity, or even an anti-sex vibe...on the whole they
are NOT fun to be around. 

I also get the feeling that they are sabotaging their own 
spiritual aspirations by doing this. By believing that they
can't be a spiritual being AND be sexual, they are setting
up a duality-based dichotomy that can never be overcome.
*Of course* one can be spiritual -- or even enlightened --
and be a sexual being. *Of course* one can be enlightened
and be having sex. The very books they read as "scripture"
are full of examples of this.

Thank you for the news update. I suspect

from this new information that people can
find love outside of marriage.  :-)

I sit at my desk *stunned* by some of the
things they believe, which often are no less
staggering than believing that the Earth is
only 6000 years old and that dinosaurs walked
with men and that we know that sex is bad 
because a talking snake said so.

But the idea that sex "can devalue the nature
of love" is a new one, and possibly the most
staggering of all. I am simply AMAZED at
the levels of fear and aversion that many
long-term TMers have about the very process
that gave them life. It all sprang from Maha-
rishi and his conflicted fear/aversion/desire
relationship with sex (telling people to be
celibate while scoring a little nookie himself),
but it is also reinforced by the things that 
he taught people like John to revere as 
"scripture." Most of these books were written
by men who had such a healthy attitude towards
sex and sexuality that they refused to be in
the same room as women (like Guru Dev) or wrote
advice for supposedly spiritual men like "You 
should think of women as rotting, stinking 
corpses."

Clearly, with FFL as our model, not all long-
term TMers bought into this crap. Some have 
managed to find a place in their life for both
their spiritual aspirations and sex. Others,
however, were not so fortunate. They came to
think like John, and have such FEAR of sex that
they glom on to "scriptures" that reinforce 
their ideas that sex is bad and that they are
good for running away from it.

Well, if that is as close as they can get to 
having a happy, fulfilling life, I guess I 
shouldn't knock them for their beliefs, no matter
how ludicrous and pitiful I may feel they are.
But still, as someone who has lived for the last
seven years in cultures in which sexuality and
love are NOT seen as antithetical but mutually
beneficial, I can't help but be staggered and
shocked when I read this crap, spouted as if it
were wisdom.

One of the reasons I post occasional links about
sex and sexuality IS to bring out this crap, and
expose it. This thread has worked like a charm in
that respect, as I knew it would. It's demonstrated
the sense of superiority and elitism that many feel
towards prostitutes and those who patronize them
(and brought out a few balanced views on that subject
from more balanced individuals like Bhairitu). But
it's also revealed the festering pus of anti-sex
sentiment like John's. How does one GET to a place
where one actually believes that sex "can devalue
the nature of love?"

It's a puzzle to me, right up there with beliefs
that any sensual experience is by definition bad,
and that only the transcendent is worth aspiring to.
It's right up there with the desire to no longer
reincarnate, or to value "enlightenment" that you
have only *heard* about and never experienced first-
more than you value, say, selfless service and 
trying your best to help as many people as you can.

Such beliefs leave me puzzled and wondering what
HAPPENED to spirituality that has rendered it so
lifeless, and so antithetical to life and living.
But I guess that's part of life, too...encountering
things that just don't compute, and trying to figure
out how others have come to believe that they DO
compute. Just one more challenge in an already-
challenging incarnation.  :-)

John, if you actually do Jyotish/Ayurvedic readings
for clients, and counsel them on whether their
marriages will be "successful" or not, and
they actually BELIEVE the stuff you are saying
here, here's a "perk" you can turn them on to
that could start their successful marriage with
an extra $10,000:
