x-tad-biggerBy that time, in any case, he had gone into hiding. On or around Jan. 17, 1986, Hubbard suffered a catastrophic stroke on a secluded ranch near Big Sur, Calif. A week later he was dead. Scientology attorneys arrived to recover his body, which they sought to have cremated immediately. They were blocked by a county coroner, who, according to Scientology critics, did an autopsy that revealed high levels of a psychiatric drug (Vistaril). That would seem like an embarrassment given the church's hostility to such medications (witness Tom Cruise's /x-tad-biggerx-tad-biggerrecent feud/x-tad-biggerx-tad-bigger with Brooke Shields), but it didn't stop the church from summoning thousands of followers to the Hollywood Palladium days after Hubbard's death. There they were told that Hubbard willingly discarded the body after it was no longer useful to him, and that this signified his ultimate success: the conquest of life that he embarked upon half a century ago. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that Hubbard's ultimate success lay in convincing millions of people he was something other than a nut.

So much for keeping away from psychiatric meds./x-tad-bigger

 http://www.slate.com/id/2122835/

I didn't read the article, but enjoyed a few posts from 
readers. Here's a good one for those of us who take 
issue with religions in general:

Subject:Media Hypocrisy
From:   Arkady
Date:   Jul 15 2005 7:49PM

I have no problem with the media bashing L. Ron Hubbard and the absurdities of 
Scientology. What I have a problem with is this double standard in the media 
whereby L. 
Ron Hubbard is the only major religious founder it's OK to bash in polite 
company, and 
whereby we're all supposed to pretend Scientology is the only religion built on 
a pack of 
absurdities.

Are L. Ron Hubbard and Scientology any weirder than Joseph Smith and the Church 
of 
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints? It'd be nice to see the media take the 
license they feel 
when going after Scientologists and focus it on Mormons. Gee, what do you 
know, I just 
found a whole new Testament, from the Angel Moron... errr, make that the Angel 
Moroni. 
It says we should have lots of wives errr, forget that one, let's pretend I 
never said that, 
shall we? One thing's for sure, there's nothing in Scientology history to 
compare with 
Mountain Meadows.

Or how about the Seventh Day Adventists? That whole movement got started with 
some 
hilariously off-base predictions about the coming of the end of the world. Over 
a century 
later, they're still waiting, but it sure hasn't dampened enthusiasm for their 
false prophets. 
They just conveniently transitioned from waiting with bated breath for the end 
of the 
world to selling corn flakes to keep the sexual urges down.

Don't think I'm just picking on Johnny-come-lately religions, either. Look at 
Christianity. 
The orthodox theology of Christianity is downright hilarious. God is three 
beings at once, 
one of whom got himself crucified in the early first century of the common era, 
then his 
corpose made like a zombie and wandered around frightening people and taunting 
them 
to stick their fingers in its wounds. And let's not forget the Adventists 
hardly have the 
market cornered on ridiculously false prophecies. The Nazarene Rabbi Jesus is 
reported in 
the Gospels to have said that the end of the world would come in the time of 
his own 
generation. Roughly 2000 years after that generation passed away, the 
Christians STILL 
haven't wised up to the fact that their guy was just another cheap shyster 
revivalist, 
preaching impending apocolypse to get the knickers of the credulous in a twist.

Or how about Judaism? That's such a fundamentally evil religion that they 
celebrate 
Passover! Passover, in case you're one of the few people still blissfully 
ignorant of the 
barbaric tradition, was a mythical act of horrifying terrorism, when the 
super-powered 
being Yahweh went door to door mericlessly slaughtering innocent first borns in 
order to 
try to try to force a political solution on the government of Egypt. For some 
reason, the 
Jews think that's worth celebrating, even though their own conception of that 
same 
Yahweh would tell them that he could have teleported their ancestors right out 
of Egypt 
without having to spill untold amounts of innocent blood for his entertainment. 
Nor is that 
an isolated event act of evil for the loathsome Yahweh. The same God ordered 
the 
genocide at Jericho, tortured his own follower Job for the sake of a petty bet, 
and once 
threw such a tantrum about his seriously screwed-up creation that he drown 
nearly every 
living thing on the planet.

Or how about Buddhism? The meaning of life: getting reborn enough times that 
you don't 
have to be reborn again and you can go back to the state of one-ness with the 
universe 
you were in before getting born in the first place. Yeah, that's efficient. Or 
Islam: You 
know, Judaism's pretty cool, but what it needs is a few more senseless rules 
and empty 
ceremonies the thousands already in the Torah simply aren't burdensome 
enough. Or 
Hinduism: Hey, stick a few more arms on that deity, and we'll really have 
something!

With such a rich pageant of disgusting absurdities to draw on, the media 
tendency to pick 
on Scientology while treating other religions as above question just strikes me 
as 
incredibly small-minded.

 Ingegerd

I suspect these fellows went through the ceremony 
believing it is a means to enliven the Veda in collective 
consciousness. At least, that's what I always felt when 
I sat through similarly long, drawn-out ceremonies at 
MIU. I'd go into them reluctantly but come out feeling 
happy. I'd feel I had participated in something silly and 
idealistic on the surface but truly effective at enlivening 
life-supporting vibes at subtle levels of creation.

(Pop Quiz: How many boilerplate TMO phrases can you 
pick out of the paragraph above?)

It was a kick to see my old classmate Bob LoPinto in the 
photos. And I was surprised to see four rajas with beards. It
gives me hope that, should I ever attain rajahood, I would not 
have to shave mine.

After I left MIU I never spoke to another MIU person I knew again. Not on

I tend to discount beliefs like this. Maharishi has said, and it is 
self-evident, that life consists of 100% inner life and 100% outer 
life. So when I hear that the world is to end catastrophically 
according to a past statement or tradition, I have to ask myself, 
which world? What were the believers of this belief meaning when 
they said and believed that?

So much of what is in our spiritual and religious traditions is 
nowadays frequently intepreted in terms of material life, because 
seeing life in predominantly physical terms is a hallmark of Kali 
Yuga. Is that what the original seer meant? Hard to say. 

A statement that the world is to end catastrophically before Sat 
Yuga could very well be interpreted as the natural process we go 
through on our journey to rediscover our true Selves; the small ego 
dies, possibly catastrophically according to the experiencer. 

I guess we'll just have to wait and find out ;)

 (Pop Quiz: How many boilerplate TMO phrases can you  pick 
out of the paragraph above?)enliven the Vedacollective 
consciousnesslife-supportingsubtle levels of 
creationAlex-This is an important perception and it goes 
straight to the heart of the idea of creation of "coherence in collective 
consciousness" (a phrase which has no objective reality, based as it is upon the 
analogies derived from thermodynamics, which don't even pertain to open systems 
such as life). But if one does posit a collective consciousness, either through 
experience, or some other consideration, then one can ask the question, can 
one create coherence in a systemwhile remaining separate from that 
system? 

I suppose the best analogy to me would be creating coherence as an 
innoculant and then injecting it into the host consciousness. 

Because TMO is not a part of the world. Rather, they are trying to remake 
the world in their founder's image based on whatever principles he said 
wereVedic. Needing catch phrases is a way to elicit interest in the 
belief system without needing an open-ended, objective, or qualifying framework. 
For instance, Jim knows he is a boy because he isn't like Paula. 
Comparison is the proof. But in a society where Jim has never seen a girl (like 
a pundit school), Jim would need more and more elaborate answers about the 
nature of girl.

Self evidence cannot be regulated.

In TMO, and other religions however, comparison is recalcitrant at 
best. While it's probable that studying various systems can give one a 
better understanding of each, nonetheless, this is not the path of religion. 


The path of religion is to develop a concentric spiralof related and 
self related and explanatory rings of subtle revelation, needing no external 
objectification. Such that one feels they are uncovering more and more 
thorough explanations of things as they reach higher levels of theocratic 
ratiocination. 

All that is really occuring is that the subject is removing 
themselvesever farther from the contact point with actuality. It may seem 
that revelations become more fully validated at deeper levels of the religion 
until the religion seems self evident. 

Self evidence is usually the highest or deepest revelation of a religion. 
To the degree that the levels of elaboration needed at grosser levels 
ofunderstanding at the outer circles of thought and connection took more 
energy to study and figure out, but those deep within the structure are the 
simplest to understand, though touted as the most difficult. 

For instance. Mommy, why is Jim a boy and Paula a girl. Son, because 
they have physiological differencesbased on chromosomes. Years 
later, Paula wanna fuck? Sure Jim. Babies. The truth is transparent, takes 
no study and is self evident.

Nonetheless, as if spoon fed to babies, ratiocination is snowballed down 
from the top of the religion where the bottom rung members are fed the most 
elaborated explanations, so as to inject them with the truth syrum which similar 
in structure to blue and red matrix pills can be easily popped, andfurther 
experience becomes further refinement. (At first Neo merely sees the other 
side. Then he becomes the hero.) 

The essence of the blue and red pillin are atfirst revelatory, 
whispering of higher and more mysterious reckonings, but later the participatory 
investigation of therevelation structure becomes so costly that one must 
chosse sides permanently. 

So with 1 million bucks one gets the ultimate explication of reality, 
whispered, "You are the ruler of your universe, now Go Oh Raam Raaj and preserve 
life as you know it." I'm a boy, look!

It's no different in Kabbalah, where you are the eyes of God. it's no 
different in Christianity with its Dispensations. Oor any religion really. 


My point was, and is, at which point does religion become merely samsaric 
in the sense of beingonly self perpetuating and the highest, simplest and 
most self evident truths such as"you are the home of the Ved," "Yogastah 
kuru karmani," "Richo akshare...," "Agnim ile...,"become sold to the 
highest bidder? 

In which case such truths become reiterated way beyond all relative value 
making them new milestones in thinking and therefore, themselves, from what used 
to be liberating, instead they become merely samsaric - new vritti creating 
obstructions to the most unelaborated and wholistic truth ofnatural and 
complete oneness. As if one forget the road and stopped on a speedbump. As if 
one divided an egg white and charged one thousand dollars for half and one penny 
for the other half. 

The point is, can one create coherence in collective consciousness if one 
obscures the obvious and seeks to separate oneself from the world at 
large? 

If the answer is yes, one can raise consciousness without being culturally 
open to others then praise to Allah be. However, if the answer is if only by 
creating a closed system can the coherence of the thermodynamic system be

A quality piece of writing, and you even managed in this 
intellectual dissertation to say 'fuck' at least once!

First, how are you defining a system? Given that we live in an 
orderly universe (galaxies in order, planets in orbit, etc.), there 
are an infinite number of interconnected systems. So it is 
impossible to truly isolate one system from another. There is always 
a 'bleed over' effect.

Then you say, I cannot see any scenario, and cannot understand any 
situation where perception of life can be improved which does not 
entail concurrent aculturalization to foreign conceptual frames of 
reference. 

I agree, yet who says we have to be aware when our aculturalization 
to something previously unknown occurs? It is like feeling tense, 
and then walking into a perfumed garden. The garden, whether we 
accept it or not, whether we understand it or are aware of its 
direct influence, changes us. There is not much thought or ego 
involved in the process. It just happens. 

I don't believe that we must understand something or accept it to be 
forever changed by it. Your question regarding the practice of TM 
being able to bring about a macro effect of world enlightenment 
through its practice? Who knows. 

Does it work? Will it work? Is it working?

[FairfieldLife] You can help disadvantaged kids get free, new books

2005-07-19 Thread Jeni
I work for First Book, a fabulous organization that is very close to 
my heart.  We have been selected as one of ten finalists competing 
for Amazon.com's Nonprofit Innovation Award. 

A book can be a powerful tool in the hands of a child. First Book is 
an award-winning national literacy organization that has provided 
more than 32 million books to children from low-income families 
across the country. 

I'm asking everyone I know to help First Book win $1,000,000 from 
Amazon.com.

From now through September 30th, First Book supporters are 
encouraged to make donations at 
www.amazon.com/gp/product/asin/B000A6JITS. Donations can range from 
$1 to $1,000. First Book will get all of the funds raised through 
Amazon.com  -- so every dollar received will help children discover 
the magic of reading. The organization that raises the most money by 
the September 30th deadline will win the contest.  

And here's the most exciting part: Amazon.com will award the contest 
winner a matching grant of up to $1 Million!

Please help First Book win $1,000,000 and get more books into the 
hands of the children we serve:

DONATE. Please visit  www.amazon.com/gp/product/asin/B000A6JITS and

No, I am not kidding. I am looking at it as if these are snapshots 
from a picnic, or perhaps a costume party. The previous pictures I saw 
indicated some over seriousness on the faces of the participants. Now, 
at the culmination of the ceremony, perhaps five of the rajas are just 
beaming, very bright. That is why I said what I said.

I am in a 'wait and see' mode regarding whether this celebration has a

I agree and disagree with you, Billy. On one hand the
whole thing is so absurd, but on the other hand I'm
sure the place was just saturated with Bliss. It's the
pure intent of the participants that counts. It does
loosen up the mental boundaries though, doesn't it?
Why hold onto any mental construct? Especially ones
that have no practical impact what-so-ever. The whole
thing is like a puja...actually it is a puja to the
Divine. I don't know if you're a TM teacher or not,
but on the surface a puja is rather silly. You're
symbolically offering bound/limited aspects of
yourself to the Divine as Guru Dev. On the surface it
means nothing but for anyone who has ever done a puja,
it is a powerful experience. A conection to the divine
opens up that is clearly experienced. So this whole
thing with the coronation is silly on the surface, but
on a deeper level it is a powerful offering to the
Divine and the Devine responds in turn based on the
purity of intent. The whole thing is pretty cool!

 before
  the next sat yuga comes.
   
 I tend to discount beliefs like this. Maharishi has
 said, and it is 
 self-evident, that life consists of 100% inner life
 and 100% outer 
 life. So when I hear that the world is to end
 catastrophically 
 according to a past statement or tradition, I have
 to ask myself, 
 which world? What were the believers of this belief
 meaning when 
 they said and believed that?
 
 So much of what is in our spiritual and religious
 traditions is 
 nowadays frequently intepreted in terms of material
 life, because 
 seeing life in predominantly physical terms is a
 hallmark of Kali 
 Yuga. Is that what the original seer meant? Hard to
 say. 
 
 A statement that the world is to end
 catastrophically before Sat 
 Yuga could very well be interpreted as the natural
 process we go 
 through on our journey to rediscover our true
 Selves; the small ego 
 dies, possibly catastrophically according to the
 experiencer. 
 
 I guess we'll just have to wait and find out ;)

Good point. Is it an outer, material destruction or an
inner destruction of limitations and attachments? Let
the good times roll (with or without a gross body)!

 Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2005 10:56:10 -0700
 From: Milson Macleod [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 

*St Germain*

/18^th July, 2005/

The topic of the day is the ongoing war in Iraq , and yet again you find
yourselves involved in one you cannot win. It has become the focus of
all of the hatred against the Allied forces and is in danger of
escalating even further. Yet it is hard to hear the voices of peace over
the noise of war. Your peacemakers exist, but peace is not yet spoken of
as increasing numbers of deaths occur. The world cries out for a stop to
the madness that is engulfing the Middle East and is having
repercussions elsewhere. There is no response from those that are
promoting this war to keep their footing in that area. Liberation is now
a word that is no longer mentioned, and has been replaced by occupation.

The dangers that exist in the Middle East are likely to draw other
countries into the affray, as it threatens to move out of control. How
much longer will the rest of the world look on without moving to a
peaceful solution?How many more terrorist attacks will be tolerated
before those that hold positions of power will say that they have had
enough? The dark will continue to ignore those who promote peace, as it
is not on their agenda. You already have an impasse where neither side
will stop the escalation of the war.

It is clear that only a change of leadership will enable a different
approach to be made to bring a halt to the war. Fortunately moves are in
hand to bring that about, and the emergency of the situation is not lost
on those involved. It is no longer an issue that should be decided on a
party political basis. It is one of wide world importance, and concerns
everyone regardless of beliefs. The outcome is one that will dictate
where humanity goes from this point onwards, and whether enlightened
souls are allowed to lead everyone out of the chaos.

As we see it from a greater view point, the demand for a stop to war and
instead world peace is growing very rapidly. It is an energy that cannot
be ignored for much longer and it will have its day. Your petitions to
the Creator are heard and you will be assisted by heavenly forces that
will ensure a peace comes to Earth. The Angelic Legions and the First
Contact Forces are not standing idly by, and already the plan is in hand
to release you from the grips of the dark. No earthly force will be able
to repel or withstand the day of reckoning. That day now draws nearer
than ever and will be signaled by greater showing in your skies of space
craft from the Galactic Federation. Let me remind you that they have
millions of craft, and they are the peace force under the command of
Lord Ashtar

As ever, try to keep your head above the negative energies and do not
allow the fear of others to pull you down. By doing so you will help
bring calmness to those around you. Talk about the issues of the day,
but do so in a way that does not involve negative emotions. Not everyone
will believe that peace will be achieved through the combined efforts of
both the dear ones of the world, and those off world. Spread your belief
that all will be well and others will be impressed by your calm and
confidence. This is the time to stand firm and hold your ground.

So many good things are happening upon Earth just now, and all are part
of a great awakening. It is taking place on all levels and you are
drawing the Light to yourselves to a greater degree than before. This is
your silent weapon against which the dark have no reply and it will be
victorious. Many of you already sense the changes in the energies around
you, and they can have an electrifying affect and your perception seems
much keener. Indeed, they are very uplifting in more senses than one.
Regardless of what goes on around you, your own progress is assured.

There is one pathway that is being taken by the dark, and another by the
Light and there is no longer a place on Earth for them to remain
together. This is a time of sorting out the dregs that have accumulated
over eons of time and cannot take their place in the Light. One must not
forget that Mother Earth carries these energies and is also throwing off
those that she cannot take with her. Soon you will help her to clear
away the pollution of negative energies and help in her cleansing. When
you came to Earth it was in a pristine condition, and it behooves you to
ensure that it is restored before this cycle ends. As you know, this is
a mammoth task but it will be lightened by the advent of First Contact
and the help it will bring.

I am St. Germain and simply ask that you do not waver in your resolve to
keep focused in the Light. It is more important than ever before as you
ready yourselves to claim your victory. You have great faith that is
wonderful to see in action at this time. I feel tremendous admiration
for all you have done, and back you with my Love so that together we
shall join arms as we cross the finishing line. You still do not fully

--I have experienced myself, many times, the effect of meditating

calm down, and generally gets quieter.
I have also noticed that when meditating with someone, this effect

I don't find it difficult to understand, why or how this happens.
Everything has a vibration: haven't you noticed that when there is 
an accident, or when something violent happens, it effects the 
populous, and has the effect of stirring things up and creating fear.
Why is it so hard to understand how the opposite could be true.
That if you could place within a closed system, a population, filled 
with fear, limited perception, and judgement, violence, and lack or 
moral conviction, a presence of a vibration, of peace and integrity, 
and perception of the finest aspects of creation, don't you think 
this would effect the whole, by raising the vibration of the whole.
It is an open system on the level of consciousness, in that you can 
have  5,000,000,000 thinking the same stupid thing, feeling the same 
stupid fear, and have one person, with a different vibration, added 
to the mass, which would change the whole thing...

2005-07-19 Thread Llundrub





A quality piece of writing, and you even managed in this 
intellectual dissertation to say 'fuck' at least once!

---Thanks. Need something to 
liven up otherwise merely dull thinking. I forgot who said it, that poetry is 
meaning which needs feet to walk.First, how are you defining a 
system? Given that we live in an orderly universe (galaxies in order, 
planets in orbit, etc.), there are an infinite number of interconnected 
systems. So it is impossible to truly isolate one system from another. There 
is always a 'bleed over' effect.

---I'm trying for the standard 
scientific model, which is usually a vacuum with some specific objective 
quantifiable object. Of course a true vacuum is impossible, yet for many 
experiments relevant parameters can be obtained well enough for making 
objectively verifiable results which can be reproduced. 

In the case of thermodynamics 
one is discussing entropy and orderliness of particles in a closed system. That 
is, a system where the amount of particles remains the same, no more entering 
the vacuum and no more exiting. 

In the case of consciousness 
however, people are born and dying, people are moving in and out of a place, so 
no 'particle' requirement has been met to reproduce an experiment with 
controlled conditions.

Therefore there can't be 
coherence in the closed sytem, as based upon the thermodynamics analogy. 


So can there be coherence in an 
open system? Not according to the thermodynamics models.

Of course to explain this 
discrepancy the Movement 'scientists' have elaborated a specious 
superconductivity analogy where if the conditions are met so that particle 
coherence is met then superconductivity results, and it has superior qualities 
such as defiance of gravity, where a superconductive liquid climbs the container 
walls and conservation of momentum and energy so that a charge is maintained 
without resistance and so perpetually without loss of strength or 
momentum. 

But again these symptoms of 
superconductivity are based on a closed system. 

So a scientific human model for 
experiment needs very rigorous standards which so far haven't been met. Because 
while it seems improbable, it is nonetheless possible that one completely 
incoherent particle, or the open system itself in an open system can 
waylay all attempted ordering of the system.

Entropy says that in a closed 
environment with no controls particles will not distribute evenly so clusters of 
particles can group at some ends of the container and not at other ends, but 
through cooling them they tend to distribute evenly. 

The whole point is some closed 
group is needed. Like some crazy guy needs to be placed in a group of 20 
rounding sidhas or something like that, for a duration of time, and then the 
crazy guy needs to be studied for signs of improvement. The person need not 
meditate or have contact with the sidhas. But the group and the 
environment must be closed, and that means no extraneous imput of any sort 
because humans are complex particles, if you will. And so as such their 
systems number with their senses and any open sense can be an open system and so 
negate the analogous thermodynamic convention for measurement.

Then you say, "I cannot see any scenario, and cannot understand any 
situation where perception of life can be improved which does not entail 
concurrent aculturalization to foreign conceptual frames of reference." 
I agree, yet who says we have to be aware when our aculturalization 
to something previously unknown occurs? It is like feeling tense, and 
then walking into a perfumed garden. The garden, whether we accept it or 
not, whether we understand it or are aware of its direct influence, changes 
us. There is not much thought or ego involved in the process. It just 
happens. 


I like this idea, and it is 
a good counter to my whole argument. Of course it posits the mysterious and 
paraphysical dynamics of magical operations as its basis, which is fine, but you 
must understand that it is the thinking of religion or magic or mysticism and 
not of duplicable science. So what? Of course, so what? Especially 
if it works.

I would have preferred if the 
TMO had instead of thermodynamic analogies, utilized some other analogy which 
would have made a case for a superfluid energizing of the environment through 
soma production. For instance, instead of needing to maintain a group of 1/4 1% 
of sidhas somewhere all that needed to be met was that number for the production 
of soma for a length of time at which point it becomes permanent in the 
environment and supportive of future coherence, rather than just as soon as the 
group quits a locale it also stops manifesting positive qualities. The reason I 
would have preferred this nodel is that at least it supposes some supraphysical 
marker which someday when the means are investigatable could be 
studied.

But in the Movement models of 
collective consciousness and coherence no experiment can be

I agree and disagree with you, Billy. On one hand thewhole thing is 
so absurd, but on the other hand I'msure the place was just saturated with 
Bliss. It's thepure intent of the participants that counts. 


And yet, if the awarenesses 
of the participants was puny then their intentions also would not yield one whit 
of further acclimatization of collective consciousness to positivity, just like 
I smashed the moth without thought. 

I don't see Maharishi in 
evidence. 

If one posits that humans are 
the source of the teachings and their benefits then sure, one can 
onlypurify as clear as the best human in the lineage, however if one 
realizes that clarity has absolutely no boundaries then no human based lineage 
is needed. In either case, the only delimiter for this dog and pony show is the 
awareness and intentions of the participants. If they are truely realized such 
that liberation is immanent then no crowns or dhotis are needed. If they are not 
realized then no crowns and bagpipers will acheive realization for them. Either 
way, the kennel club was unnecessary. 

Moreover it shows utter and 
complete ignorance of the West, and is like a slap in the face still yet for all 
those who had previously made the connection here with TM.

Any way you slice the pie, the 
coronation is just a slice of pie. 

I still feel sorry for those 
dopes for the daythey wake up. (Or the day theyspeed through

 one of the wackiest looking things I've seen in a long
 time. But I don't see that it really matters. No need
 to defend the TMO or MMY. If somebody says that it
 looks crazy, just agree with them because it does look
 crazy! 

You are a wise man.

*St Germain*

/18^th July, 2005/

The topic of the day is the ongoing war in Iraq , and yet again you 
find
yourselves involved in one you cannot win. It has become the focus of
all of the hatred against the Allied forces and is in danger of
escalating even further. Yet it is hard to hear the voices of peace 
over
the noise of war. Your peacemakers exist, but peace is not yet spoken 
of
as increasing numbers of deaths occur. The world cries out for a stop 
to
the madness that is engulfing the Middle East and is having
repercussions elsewhere. There is no response from those that are
promoting this war to keep their footing in that area. Liberation is 
now
a word that is no longer mentioned, and has been replaced by 
occupation.

The dangers that exist in the Middle East are likely to draw other
countries into the affray, as it threatens to move out of control. 
How
much longer will the rest of the world look on without moving to a
peaceful solution?How many more terrorist attacks will be 
tolerated
before those that hold positions of power will say that they have had
enough? The dark will continue to ignore those who promote peace, as 
it
is not on their agenda. You already have an impasse where neither 
side
will stop the escalation of the war.

It is clear that only a change of leadership will enable a different
approach to be made to bring a halt to the war. Fortunately moves are 
in
hand to bring that about, and the emergency of the situation is not 
lost
on those involved. It is no longer an issue that should be decided on 
a
party political basis. It is one of wide world importance, and 
concerns
everyone regardless of beliefs. The outcome is one that will dictate
where humanity goes from this point onwards, and whether enlightened
souls are allowed to lead everyone out of the chaos.

As we see it from a greater view point, the demand for a stop to war 
and
instead world peace is growing very rapidly. It is an energy that 
cannot
be ignored for much longer and it will have its day. Your petitions 
to
the Creator are heard and you will be assisted by heavenly forces 
that
will ensure a peace comes to Earth. The Angelic Legions and the First
Contact Forces are not standing idly by, and already the plan is in 
hand
to release you from the grips of the dark. No earthly force will be 
able
to repel or withstand the day of reckoning. That day now draws nearer
than ever and will be signaled by greater showing in your skies of 
space
craft from the Galactic Federation. Let me remind you that they have
millions of craft, and they are the peace force under the command of
Lord Ashtar

As ever, try to keep your head above the negative energies and do not
allow the fear of others to pull you down. By doing so you will help
bring calmness to those around you. Talk about the issues of the day,
but do so in a way that does not involve negative emotions. Not 
everyone
will believe that peace will be achieved through the combined efforts 
of
both the dear ones of the world, and those off world. Spread your 
belief
that all will be well and others will be impressed by your calm and
confidence. This is the time to stand firm and hold your ground.

So many good things are happening upon Earth just now, and all are 
part
of a great awakening. It is taking place on all levels and you are
drawing the Light to yourselves to a greater degree than before. This 
is
your silent weapon against which the dark have no reply and it will 
be
victorious. Many of you already sense the changes in the energies 
around
you, and they can have an electrifying affect and your perception 
seems
much keener. Indeed, they are very uplifting in more senses than one.
Regardless of what goes on around you, your own progress is assured.

There is one pathway that is being taken by the dark, and another by 
the
Light and there is no longer a place on Earth for them to remain
together. This is a time of sorting out the dregs that have 
accumulated
over eons of time and cannot take their place in the Light. One must 
not
forget that Mother Earth carries these energies and is also throwing 
off
those that she cannot take with her. Soon you will help her to clear
away the pollution of negative energies and help in her cleansing. 
When
you came to Earth it was in a pristine condition, and it behooves you 
to
ensure that it is restored before this cycle ends. As you know, this 
is
a mammoth task but it will be lightened by the advent of First 
Contact
and the help it will bring.

I am St. Germain and simply ask that you do not waver in your resolve 
to
keep

 So can there be coherence in an open system?  Not according to the

whether we understand it or are aware of its 
 direct influence, changes us. There is not much thought or ego 
 involved in the process. It just happens. 
 
 I like this idea, and it is a good counter to my whole 
argument. Of course it posits the mysterious and paraphysical 
dynamics of magical operations as its basis, which is fine, but you 
must understand that it is the thinking of religion or magic or 
mysticism and not of duplicable science.  So what?  Of course, so 
what? Especially if it works.
 
 I would have preferred if the TMO had instead of thermodynamic 
analogies, utilized some other analogy which would have made a case 
for a superfluid energizing of the environment through soma 
production. snip

My real point still is, is TM the key and the rest of the TMO just 
window dressing to provide a more closed system for reproduction of 
ideal test conditions? Produced either conventionally, or 
intuitively, or unconsciously? I gess we'll know Thursday night 
whether Sat Yuga says Woohaa, or whether Kali Yuga says, Got you too 
Hah Hah. 
 

This is a thorny question and one impossible to solve. 

The question being, how do we build a scientifically verifiable 
bridge beween what is commonly accepted as scientific rigor, based 
on physical natural laws, and a metaphysical event, whose dynamics 
are impossible to contain and control?

Using commonly accepted science we must use a closed system. 
Obviously flawed. Or as you say, put a crazy guy in a bubble with a 
bunch of Sidhas. Not universal enough; probably can't be reproduced. 
And the world of consciousness isn't a closed system anyway.

So the only way to prove the scientific truth of a means to 
enlighten the world is to, as Nike says, just do it.

It is analogous to trying to look around the corner and see what the 
experience of death of the body is like. How would you prove that 
scientifically?

So the only way to prove the scientific truth of a means to 
enlighten the world is to, as Nike says, "just do it".It is 
analogous to trying to look around the corner and see what the experience of 
death of the body is like. How would you prove that 
scientifically?OK, but then we have very many many people on 
their mikes. TM World Peace Government, Zion, Shambala, Pure land, True Buddha, 
Christians fora New heaven and New Earth.Shiites,etc... 
all seeking to create the Sat Yuga analogue. Who wins? Who is right isn't 
necessarily who wins, as the lesser enlightened can still take credit and wrest 
control away from the creator. In the sense of a coherence mugging.

That's just theory. In Dzogchen there never was a time that wasn't Sat yuga 
or where the purified elements did not reflect pure mirror-like wisdom. So 
why should people be motivated to be or to do something which has already been 
done. 

Religion is like the ground that people walk on, and then people build a 
church to pray in.You would think that if TM lead to enlightenment then the 
participants of the TM Movement would be more satisfied, not less satisfied. You 
would think that they would be more at ease in their skin, not less. They would 
be more free of political strategems, not more insecure about them. 

Maharishi used to say that without TM a person if like a football that's 
kicked around everywhere. But with TM they stop getting kicked around. 
Frankly the coronation looks like a great big field goal to me.But will it 
win the game? 

Nah. Game just started for real. 

Game is just a game. Life is already. Game is just people 
playing. I will give kudos to the first Raja who acknowledges merely playing a 
game. I will give greater kudos to the first raja who throws his crown on the 
floor and stamps out of the coronation. After all, they paid a million 
bucks for it. Let them now show their lack of materialism.

Again, I fear for these guys for the day when the high wears off because 
the low will be as low as the high was high. Because this coronation game 
is still samsara.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: new coronation photos- Many! 'collective consciousness...'

2005-07-19 Thread Llundrub






--I have experienced myself, many times, the effect of meditating 
when others are around, and have noticed that the "atmosphere" does calm 
down, and generally gets quieter.

--Me too.

I have also noticed that when meditating with someone, this effect 
increases, as well as my experience is deepened.

---Me too.

I don't find it difficult to understand, why or how this happens.

---Me neither.

Everything has a vibration: haven't you noticed that when there is 
an accident, or when something violent happens, it effects the populous, 
and has the effect of stirring things up and creating fear.Why is it so hard 
to understand how the opposite could be true.

---It's not.

That if you could place within a closed system, a population, filled 
with fear, limited perception, and judgement, violence, and lack or 
moral conviction, a presence of a vibration, of peace and integrity, and 
perception of the finest aspects of creation, don't you think this would 
effect the whole, by raising the vibration of the whole.

This is the argument I 
didn't make. I argued that life isn't a closed system. 

It is an open system on the level of consciousness, in that you can 
have 5,000,000,000 thinking the same stupid thing, feeling the same 
stupid fear, and have one person, with a different vibration, added to 
the mass, which would change the whole thing...

-But the real mistake here 
in my thinking. Please correct me. Iis that performing TM. That is, performing 
samadhi, or yoga, if that's acceptable, is not adding something, but subtracting 
something. Meditation is not adding something to the environment but subtracting 
some of the noise. Furthermore, enlightenment is not adding something to the 
body but it is subtracting obscuration aka vrittis aka samskaras. Finally, 
actual practice of yoga and yajna presupposed establishment in the base or vase 
or container of thought ie., the absolute, which is a state of least activity, 
and so as such it doesn't actually change anything but it renders everything. 
Enlightenment is merely simple clarity and not some sublime and ecstatic state. 
It might seem sublime and ecstatic by comparison with ignorance but that wears 
off. Surely.

The enlightened don't throw 
sticks in spokes. 

The enlightened, as one with the 
foundation, supports everything. Life is enlightened already and always was. 
What wasn't enlightened was the human mind. 

People meditating together don't 
change anything, they merely subtract some of the mental noise and vritti from 
the collective awareness. Yoga citta vritti nirodaha.

But that is good because the 
American and European cruising and frustrated desire mentality is the source of 
much of our casual crime now. Which is still more enlightened than the Middle 
Eastern blowing up people frustrated desire mentality.

Attachment and aversion. Get rid 
of some of it and you ease tensions.

Dear All:

Maharishi this evening elaborated on the plan for group flying as the moon
rises on Guru Purnima 
Maharishi said:

We want to go high up in Yogic Flying as the moon rises and bring Sat Yuga
down. When coming down one can quietly say ?welcome to Sat Yugasum--just a
sense of it.

The feeling is so soft and pious.

He said it will be good if it can be outside on a celebration ground if at
all possible (ie if we have a place like that). We can bring a few
mattresses outside for that.

Or we can do it inside if that is not possible.

We rise high to welcome the dawning Sat Yuga. It is like coming out of the
house to welcome the guest and invite him in.

Maharishi also confirmed that everyone everywhere should do their regular
group program in the evening, and then do a separate program starting with
Transcendental Meditation 15 minutes before the moon rises (the moon rises
some time after 9pm in North America: 7pm in the Philippines). As the moon rises
then everyone lifts off and flies for 10-15 minutes as above and then rests for 
15
minutes!

So that will be fun.

Jai Guru Dev 

Bevan

...at some point, someone will have the job of taking

At the rate things are going, a successor might decide

St. Germain
19th
July, 2005

I hardly need say that
everything is rapidly coming to a boiling point, and before long
something has
to give. The difference is that as the Light grows stronger the dark
are more
in disarray. They thought they were so powerful and were invincible,
but now
find that their fine plans are coming unstuck. Although they revel in
chaos and
creating fear, they also like to be in control of it and they are
losing their
grip. What a new experience for them to live in fear as they no longer
know who
are their true supporters. Many who were considered supportive of their
aims
are turning away at a time when they badly needed them. 
The dark are becoming
vulnerable to all of the facts that are being revealed about their true
agenda
and covert operations. It is being realized that their actions over
many years
have gone against the principles established in your Constitution. Just
in time
there has been an awakening to the gradual erosion of your rights and
civil
liberties. This strikes at the hearts of everyone who values their
freedom and
sovereignty. 
The truth is now
spreading fast, thanks to many stalwarts who have stuck their heads out
at some
personal risk. It now reaches far and wide and is beyond the control of
those
who wish to curtail it. News does travel
fast, particularly through the Internet and E-mail connections. There
will
always be attempts by the dark to cause confusion by spreading false
information, but usually your intuition will determine those to be
ignored. If
it does not ring true, put it aside and if need be come back to it
later. These
are all areas of confrontation, as part of the battle is for peoples
minds,
and there is nothing like a good dose of confusion to cause people to
lose
interest. 
This is however one battle
that you must win, and providing the communication channels are kept
open you
will have no problems. There are moves to control the Internet, but any
real
developments are far away. These are the forms of communication that
must be
kept open and maintained as a foundation for free speech. You will not
truly be
free until the benefits of First Contact and NESARA are put into being,
and
they will be definite and sure in their aims to restructure society
based on
the original Constitution. This will just be the start of massive
changes for
the good of all. Even many of those who were not of the Light and are
known for
what they were, will take their place amongst the ranks of the
Lightworkers. 
You must allow for
people to be converted to the Light, and trust will be a quality that
will be
most essential. It would be easy to label people as unworthy, but when
they
have a genuine desire to overcome their darkness, they need a helping
hand.
This is what life is all about, and that ideal never changes even as
you
continue to move onwards. Indeed, as you move into the higher
dimensions as
great as some Beings are, they have the humility and grace to lift
others up to
them. You have not really experienced true friendship such as I refer
to which
is one of great love and caring. The dear ones who are coming to Earth
are very
much of this kind, and you will soon experience their love firsthand.
Nothing
is ever too much for these members of the Galactic Federation who are
dedicated
to the upliftment of others. 
As the energies of
change become more powerful, so the dark will become more desperate as
their
dream is shattered. Just remember that out of the chaos a new era is
being born
and like some births, it can be difficult and painful. Do not be too
concerned
at the manner in which some souls leave the Earth, because as strange
as it may
seem many are pleased to end their time now regardless of the
circumstances.
They perform a great service for mankind, and you may be assured that
they are
released from any emotional trauma. Often their lot in life has been
hard and
their release is welcomed by them. 
What a transition you
are all in line for, because every one of you will be moving forward.
There may
be different degrees of advancement, but all will have progressed
through

Earlier I described the coronation vibe as Ego and Mental, which after
reading the above post I realized is another way of saying Imbalanced
Masculine, or masculine w/o the feminine balance.  Though lip service
is paid to Mother Divine, true strong femininity is not represented
much in the tmo in practice, and I agree that's a major shortcoming,
esp in this day and age.  I don't believe in mythological religious
concepts like Kali and Sat Yuga, but recorded history has been
dominated by the exercise of masculine power and has certainly been a
bloody mess.  Look at the last 2,000 yrs of Christian dominance in the
West in which God is perceived as being a composite of 2 men and a
spirit -- no female component at all!! -- endless war and destruction
(along with lots of neat technology)  I think any person or org.
wanting to successfully dawn a new age will most certainly have to be
a manifestation of integrated masculine-feminine to really make a
difference.

Very interesting . Thanks. Does that mean he even took the siddhis?
Anyone else ever heard that Bill Gates learned TM at one time?

That's way cool. 

About four years ago, I used to run a very popular webcam back when I
had an office in the Atrium Building. I pointed my webcam out the
window, and put the mic up next to a radio that had been modified to
pick up FM subcarriers. Viewers could then watch live video of all
the roos going for coffee with a Ghandarva soundtrack. Word got out
about my cam, and the web log showed viewers from around the country
and around the world. Here's a still shot of what it looked like:

Worship of some gods is dangerous--some are simply 
incompatible with civilized living. They can destabilize the consciousness 
of entire nations.Heheheh. Yeah, that god called God has a super 
big ego.

I believe Tat Wala Baba was sometimes called baba naga (mr. snake or 
daddy snake) because of his his friendly relations with snakes (naga  
http://www.santosha.com/asanas/naga-print.html ). So nagaraja means 
king of the snakes...Shiva wears a snake (

Just wondering why you seem to care so much that you ask again and 
again and again-- is this another case of your studying human 
fundamentalism? If so, whose? Yours, or Bill's? :-)
