[FairfieldLife] Re: In Praise of Price-Gouging
--- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, authfriend [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Shemp, you'll love this... Thank you, Judy. Yes, I did love it, as I love most things that Stossel writes and does with his 20/20 pieces, as you know as we've discussed Stossel in the past. Indeed, for the benefit of those who aren't that familiar with Stossel, he asked the most important journalistic question in the last 50 years: Who has done more to benefit the world, convicted Junk Bond King Michael Milken or Mother Theresa. You can perhaps guess from the gist of the article below what Stossel's answer was... In praise of price gouging John Stossel September 7, 2005 Politicians and the media are furious about price increases in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. They want gas stations and water sellers punished. If you want to score points cracking down on mean, greedy profiteers, pushing anti-gouging rules is a very good thing. But if you're one of the people the law protects from price gouging, you won't fare as well. Consider this scenario: You are thirsty -- worried that your baby is going to become dehydrated. You find a store that's open, and the storeowner thinks it's immoral to take advantage of your distress, so he won't charge you a dime more than he charged last week. But you can't buy water from him. It's sold out. You continue on your quest, and finally find that dreaded monster, the price gouger. He offers a bottle of water that cost $1 last week at an outrageous price -- say $20. You pay it to survive the disaster. You resent the price gouger. But if he hadn't demanded $20, he'd have been out of water. It was the price gouger's exploitation that saved your child. It saved her because people look out for their own interests. Before you got to the water seller, other people did. At $1 a bottle, they stocked up. At $20 a bottle, they bought more cautiously. By charging $20, the price gouger makes sure his water goes to those who really need it. The people the softheaded politicians think are cruelest are doing the most to help. Assuming the demand for bottled water was going to go up, they bought a lot of it, planning to resell it at a steep profit. If they hadn't done that, that water would not have been available for the people who need it the most.

Then unexpectedly one of my two tsawai lamas Venerable Lho Ontul Rinpoche came to New Orleans and gave Protector empowerments which were awesome. I practiced them and always felt a current of fear which I figured was just my attachments and self cherishing coming to the surface. So it was quite amazing when I went to Vermont to see Kyabje Kunzang Dechen Lingpa for the Green Mountain Dharma Festival and it coincided with Hurricane Katrina. My wife and I had placed our beautiful parrots in the best possible place for them for the duration of our trip, at the bird boarding with the owners of the place from where we got them. A place that's like summer camp for them once or twice a year. We have not been able to contact them since the storm, but right before the storm we talked to them and they said they would die before letting any harm come to the birds. So we feel they are probably as OK as the pet shop owners. My wife's parents and brother skipped town the Friday before Katrina and so were safe in Baton Rouge. Altogether, my wife and I have personally only had to be concerned with whether our house still existed or not. It does, though we have no idea of the extent of the damage. That and whether we still have jobs or cars and all that basic stuff. Directly from Vermont we flew to my sister's in California and watched New Orleans go down the tubes. We will move back ASAP. There's nowhere else we would really want to live. Sorry Tom, we love New Orleans, blacks and all, and we're especially sorry for you that you act like a jilted lover who then thinks beautiful women should all be burned alive on stakes. The irony for me is that you pay blacks to do Vedic ceremonies for your soul and you hate blacks. On to reality. We had no success whatsoever with FEMA. They only come into play when your insurance doesn't, and so what do you do when adjusters cannot even view your home for two months. Anyway, Erin and I are extremely lucky. I get time to play with my nephew who is four, and basically just hang out. Oddly, Kunzang Dechen Lingpa is teaching at the end of the month here in LA so I get even more of his supreme treasure teachings. I am blessed, and protected through Dzogchen. Others have not been so lucky. I'll up a photo of a friends house for Tom to laugh at. Imagine yourself there.Remember that the land of the KKK also bit the dust along with their chosen food for lynching. (To imagine a 60 year old nerd proclaiming to be Aryan Brother. They wouldn't have you Tom, you old nut!) Erin and I aren't thrilled to be refugees. But we're thrilled to be alive and basically sound, and with our families intact. I can only imagine the true heart rending hell that thousands upon thousands endured. What do we feel losing so much of New Orleans like this? We feel lucky that we weren't there. We foresaw the Superdome turning into hell from day one. We feel sorry for ignorance, and poor planing, and superficial Federal response, and basic lack of sense of urgency of disaster teams. We don't point fingures but if you were the CEO in charge of Ford and their recall of 3.8 million autos through deficient cruise control switches then I would suspect that your shareholders would question your choices. I need not say more. What the hell was Bush smiling about when he was in Baton Rouge? I don't get it. FEMA's director's online bio has false info in it. He's a liar. Of course, who cares right? Just one more insubstancial factoid in a huge disaster of epic proportions. For sheer numbers the exodus of Jews from Egypt probably amounted to less bodies. Personally the glib politicising on TV and here at this group shows a superficial connection with life. If any response comes to mind when viewing the tragedy besides awe then one is just afriad to feel. Frankly, I'm not really well. I haven't slept in my own bed for going on a month and see no end in sight. I feel like Odesseus coming back from Troy. All the music on the radio is about not being able to find the way home. I feel sorry for the blacks and the poor, and I feel most sorry for those who use this to their political advantage. Because this isn't the last disaster to confront the US by any means. It's just the first. If people aren't studying this and

Hey Bush defenders, what's the rationale for THIS one? http://today.reuters.co.uk/news/newsArticle.aspx? type=globalNewsstoryID=2005-09-08T233912Z_01_SPI885129_RTRUKOC_0_US- BUSH-WAGES.xmlarchived=False WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush issued an executive order on Thursday allowing federal contractors rebuilding in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina to pay below the prevailing wage. In a notice to Congress, Bush said the hurricane had caused a national emergency that permits him to take such action under the 1931 Davis- Bacon Act in ravaged areas of Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi. Bush's action came as the federal government moved to provide billions of dollars in aid, and drew rebukes from two of organized labor's biggest friends in Congress, Rep. George Miller of California and Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts, both Democrats. The administration is using the devastation of Hurricane Katrina to cut the wages of people desperately trying to rebuild their lives and their communities, Miller said. President Bush should immediately realize the colossal mistake he has made in signing this order and rescind it and ensure that America puts its people back to work in the wake of Katrina at wages that will get them and their families back on their feet, Miller said. I regret the president's decision, said Kennedy. One of the things the American people are very concerned about is shabby work and that certainly is true about the families whose houses are going to be rebuilt and buildings that are going to be restored, Kennedy said. The Davis-Bacon law requires federal contractors to pay workers at least the prevailing wages in the area where the work is conducted. It applies to federally funded construction projects such as highways and bridges. Bush's executive order suspends the requirements of the Davis-Bacon law for designated areas hit by the storm.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Saved Through Dzogchen
Title: Re: [FairfieldLife] Saved Through Dzogchen Saw this and thought of dear Lhundrub. The Will to Love is the Law to Live - Best Wishes V. The Attitude to Take for Overcoming Natural Disasters His Holiness Penor Rinpoche 7/1/2132--September 4, 2005 The present world is modernized and it is very easy for countries to communicate with each other. This has good -- and bad -- results. Everyone tells their own history and tries to explain events their way, according to internal political or religious pressures. At the same time, many religions exist in this world, as well as many qualified teachers. Anyone who is truly following their religion is thinking about how to solve the problems of this world. Meanwhile, most of the previously realized teachers have already shown us how to solve these problems for all of the beings in the universe. But the times are now degenerating. Some of those following these religions and some who follow certain politics have gotten used to thinking and acting in a negative way. So it will not make a difference whether an individual is a good person or a bad person; we will be caused to suffer from difficulties because of our collective negative thoughts and actions. Of all these negative thoughts and actions, selfishness will create more difficulty than anything else. That is why all the different kinds of religions are based on the benefit of all sentient beings and not focused on selfishness -- no matter what religion. Religions are for the benefit of peace and compassion for sentient beings, especially in the case of Buddhism. For us, we take vows to be helpful for all beings, without exception. We pray that we will not even use the space of one hair in a selfish way. We already see that bad karma has the result of causing suffering. So then, of course, if we behave in a positive way, there will be benefit and fruition. If everyone -- no matter Buddhist or not, whether black or white -- prays and wishes for the same things, for happiness and peace on earth, then definitely things can be solved in a positive way. Floods are the result of an imbalanced water element. There are also imbalances in the earth [such as earthquakes], fire [volcanoes] and air [tornados, typhoons and hurricanes]. If we are all living in harmony in the world, then naturally the elements will be balanced. Once harmonious, no imbalances will arise. [Tr. note: Rinpoche is referring to the example of sentient beings held like the objects in the pot of the elements. Once the inside is in balance, the pot will also be in balance]. When problems arise, like the Tsunami in Asia, or the flood in the United States, I personally feel very sad. It is physically hard to do anything to help. We Tibetans also have recently faced so many problems. For example, for us, Guru Rinpoche and so many high lamas predicted we would encounter the problems we have met. They told us the method and how to solve the problems. But, because of degenerating times, collectively many of us had difficulty believing these predictions, which are hundreds, and sometimes thousands of years old. Because we collectively had difficulty believing in the truth, this came to be a difficult time for the Tibetans. Then, when the result came about, many people said, Oh, we really made a big mistake. And a few even said, Of course this was going to happen because we did not believe this prediction and follow the instructions. So for us Tibetans, when we suffered, we suffered almost like a physical hell. Even still, we never gave up belief in the Three Jewels [Buddha, Dharma and Sangha]. All of these problems are the gathering of karma. [They are the consequences of our previous actions]. There is not anything to rejoice in or to regret because these are not one or two people's results, but all people's results. [Known as gathering or collective karma; Tib: Chin Thun]. Because of our past lifetimes in which we accumulated negative karma collectively, we must all collectively suffer the results. These results cannot be suffered by just one or two people. We know that in the future we don't want this kind of suffering. So it doesn't matter what religion or color, we can build the positive collective karma together by loving each other and having compassion towards all sentient beings. This will make things better in the future so the positive result will come from the positive attitude.

New Orleans death toll may not be catastrophic Sep 09 12:31 PM US/Eastern NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - The number of dead in New Orleans may not be as high as first feared, the top Homeland Security official there said on Friday. There's some encouragement in the initial sweeps. Some of the catastrophic deaths some people have predicted may not have occurred, Col. Terry Ebbert, director of Homeland Security for the city of New Orleans said at a news conference. The numbers so far are relatively minor as compared with the dire predictions of 10,000. Yahoo!

[FairfieldLife] Re: Guru Dev and Sri Vidya...Origins?
Comments interspersed Are you suggesting that one should believe that worship of Sri Vidya didn't start until this point in time and that it started as a Buddhist practice? Richard J. Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It's not a belief, it's history - the Sri Vidya cult arose at about the same time as the Bengali Shajiyas and the eighty-four mahasiddhas. The Nath cult is the Western Transmission of the Tantric Buddhists - first to Kashmere, then to Tibet, and later to South India. So you are saying that the practice of this knowledge of Sri Vidya didn't exist prior? Lord Hayagriva at the command of Lalita Devi gave this knowledge of Sri Vidya to Rishi Agastya and was made responsible for revealing TRUE WORSHIP of Mother through it. Rishi Agastya taught the Sri Vidya to Guadapada, who passed it on to Govinda, who taught it to Shankara who installed the Sri Chakra and then composed the Saundaryalari for our understanding. There is no higher knowledge that Sri Vidya, the Auspicious Wisdom. No higher knowledge, indeed. Sri Mata Rajarajeshwari rules it. http://www.dattapeetham.com/india/tours/2003/vijayawada_devi_temple/feb6/feb6.html According to Sri Ganapathi Sachchidananda Swamiji of Mysore, India Liberation from the cycle of birth and death does not result through Tantra practices. All the Shankaracharyas practice tantric techniques. We do not know exactly why or when the Shankarites adopted Shaktism, we only know that at some point in time, they did so. There is someone who knows. The tantras are for everyone they are the only means of liberation in this age. Strong statement. Believe what you will. The only means of liberation is the Grace of Guru. Sri Ganapathi Sachchidananda Swamiji of Mysore, India is revered throughout India and by Shankaracharyas as well as the foremost exponent of Sri Vidya and Worship of Mother. From His mouth these ears heard the following words,Practice of tantra keeps one tied to the earth, Swamiji's way is Vedic way not tantric. http://www.dattapeetham.com/india/festivals/navaratri2003/navaratri2003.html He has put the entire knowledge of Sri Chakra into the cd entitled Tripura for everyone to benefit. It is beautiful. People nowadays can't read or write Sanskrit and thus they can't access the scriptures; This is not true. real gurus are hard to find; This is true. REAL gurus find their devotees at the proper time. and hardly anyone gets a shaktipat anymore; all we have now are the tantric techniques. Again believe what you will. So, from the above observations, it is probable that Guru Dev meditated on bija-mantras contained within the Sri Yantra, a diagram or mnemonic device for transcending. Does anyone here really believe that Sri Brahmananda Saraswati Jagadguru of Jyotir Math as the living example of Veda had to meditate on anything? Everyone meditates on something - that's why they call it meditation. Point is what is to meditate upon when Fullness is the reality? Then again, what do I know. But we have an eyewitness account, Swami Rama of the Himalayas, who met Brahmanand Saraswati in the Vindhya mountains one time. In his book, Living With the Himalayan Masters, Swami Rama recounts how Brahmananda showed him a Sri Yantra and explained the Sri Vidya to him. So, we have an eyewitness account by Swami Rama; we have the fact that Brahmanand's guru was Swami Krishanand Saraswati of Sringeri; we have the fact that the Sringeri matha, founded by Shankara, is the seat of the Sri Chakra; and we have the Saundaryalahari composed by Shankaracharya, which describes the worship of Tripurasundari and enumerates the Sri Vidya bija-mantras. So, yes I do believe, based on the available evidence, that Swami Brahmanand Saraswati probably meditated on the Sri Chakra, just like all of the other Dasanamai Saraswati Sannyasins do. This I do not doubt. Does it mean that an ordinary Joe gains liberation from performing this puja? It is doubtful that anyone but these swamis can properly perform such, and if a Joe attempted would likely bring about more disasterous results than positive. Here is a verse from Shankara's Guru Ashtakam with commentary from Sri Ganapathi Sachchidananda Swamiji Shadangaadhi Vedo Mukhe Shastra Vidhyaa Kavitva aadhi Gadhyam Supadhyam Karoti Guro Ranghri Padme Manasche Na Lagnam Tatah kim Tatah kim Tatah kim Tatah kim Shadangas, Vedas, Shastras, many studies are on the tip of one's tongue.

The only means of liberation is the Grace of Guru. That's tantra - but it's very difficult to find a true guru in this age, that's why the tantras were prepared and desciminated. From His mouth these ears heard the following words,Practice of tantra keeps one tied to the earth, Swamiji's way is Vedic way not tantric. So, Swamiji doesn't agree with the Shankaracharya of Sringeri? People nowadays can't read or write Sanskrit and thus they can't access the scriptures; This is not true. So you're a Sanskrit reader and you can read the tantras. Why then would you need a guru if you're already literate? real gurus are hard to find; This is true.

Everyone meditates on something - that's why they call it meditation. Point is what is to meditate upon when Fullness is the reality?

Anyone who can think can meditate using the tantric bija-mantras. His mind doesn't set at the feet of Guru. Then what is the use? All these are a waste.

Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista raised a New Year's Eve toast to his cabinet members and senior military officers and wished them hasta la vista. After seven years of building Havana's tourism industry by inviting gangsters such as Meyer Lansky to construct casinos, helping to fund their enterprises and taking a large chunk of the proceeds for himself, Batista knew his presidency was over. His plundering had weakened Cuba's treasury and demoralized the army. He filled three cargo planes with all he could carry and was on his way to the Dominican Republic before the sun came up on 1959. ...But while Castro could close the casinos, arrest the gangsters and deport or imprison Batista's henchmen, he could not bury the skyscrapers that had drained the wealth of the island. Castro inherited from Batista a Havana of overt poverty and ostentatious wealth, where the haves of the world's richest nations had come to exploit the have-nots; where statues of Lenin and Marx would be dwarfed by glass and stone monuments to the Mob; where the nation's architectural landmarks would be a constant reminder of the days when criminals were in charge and the Mafia roamed free. ... But until that last day of 1958, the only revolution that mattered to Mafia financier Lansky involved a roulette wheel. During the Batista years, Cuba was a place where a crooked man could make an honest living. After a half century on the wrong side of the law in the United States, the celebrated gangster was legit. America's high rollers and celebrities were living large in the casino of Lansky's luxury hotel, the Riviera, and the drinks were on the house. In the mid-1930s, a Cuban army sergeant named Fulgencio Batista took advantage of political chaos in the former Spanish colony and formed his own government. At the time, the island republic was foundering, as was its gambling industry. Years before, Havana's nightlife had attracted wealthy entertainers from the United States, such as Sarah Bernhardt and Enrico Caruso. But Cuba's gaming industry had become mired in cheating and corruption by the 1930s. So, in 1939, Batista recruited a New England racetrack owner named Lou Smith to revive Havana's Oriental Park track and Meyer Lansky to clean up the casinos.

The first part, however, contrasts sharply with the last part. http://www.cigaraficionado.com/Cigar/CA_Archives/CA_Show_Article/0,23 22,217,00.html Excerpts The Batista-Lansky Alliance How the mafia and a Cuban dictator built Havana's casinos By Matthew Reiss It was December 31, 1958. Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista raised a New Year's Eve toast to his cabinet members and senior military officers and wished them hasta la vista. After seven years of building Havana's tourism industry by inviting gangsters such as Meyer Lansky to construct casinos, helping to fund their enterprises and taking a large chunk of the proceeds for himself, Batista knew his presidency was over. His plundering had weakened Cuba's treasury and demoralized the army. He filled three cargo planes with all he could carry and was on his way to the Dominican Republic before the sun came up on 1959. ...But while Castro could close the casinos, arrest the gangsters and deport or imprison Batista's henchmen, he could not bury the skyscrapers that had drained the wealth of the island. Castro inherited from Batista a Havana of overt poverty and ostentatious wealth, where the haves of the world's richest nations had come to exploit the have-nots; where statues of Lenin and Marx would be dwarfed by glass and stone monuments to the Mob; where the nation's architectural landmarks would be a constant reminder of the days when criminals were in charge and the Mafia roamed free. ... But until that last day of 1958, the only revolution that mattered to Mafia financier Lansky involved a roulette wheel. During the Batista years, Cuba was a place where a crooked man could make an honest living. After a half century on the wrong side of the law in the United States, the celebrated gangster was legit. America's high rollers and celebrities were living large in the casino of Lansky's luxury hotel, the Riviera, and the drinks were on the house. In the mid-1930s, a Cuban army sergeant named Fulgencio Batista took advantage of political chaos in the former Spanish colony and formed his own government. At the time, the island republic was foundering, as was its gambling industry. Years before, Havana's nightlife had attracted wealthy entertainers from the United States, such as Sarah Bernhardt and Enrico Caruso. But Cuba's gaming industry had become mired in cheating and corruption by the 1930s. So, in 1939, Batista recruited a New England racetrack owner named Lou Smith to revive Havana's Oriental Park track and Meyer Lansky to clean up the casinos. Two months before the 1952 presidential elections, Batista snatched control of the government that he had relinquished, and quickly put gambling back on track. Once again, the dictator contacted Lansky, but this time he gave him an annual salary of $25,000 to serve as an unofficial gambling minister. In 1955, the Batista government passed a law granting a gaming license to anyone who invested $1 million in a hotel or $200,000 in a new nightclub. And that meant anyone.

The slot machines, symbols of the ousted leader, were especially sought out by the mobs. The government was to get $25,000 for license plus twenty percent of the profits from each casino. What Batista and the in group got has never been certified. It was rumored that to get a license a fee for $250,000 and sometimes more was required under the table. Periodic payoffs were requested and received by the corrupt politicians. http://www.laprensa-sandiego.org/archieve/oct15/cuba2.htm With the U.S. government's full support, including arms, bombers, and fighter planes, Batista's forces fought to suppress the revolution and, during the course of the war, killed almost 20,000 Cubans. But the Cuban people had had enough of Batista, the Mafia, political corruption, tortures, and murders as well as the U.S. government's support of it all. The Cuban poor joined up with Castro's forces. http://www.thescreamonline.com/essays/essays4-1/batista.html THE COVER OF TIME MAGAZINE (April 9, 1952) showed a photo of Batista with a Cuban flag behind him, and the caption: Cuba's Batista: he got past Democracy's sentries. Ironically, that was not the first time that Batista had bypassed the process of Democracy, with the full blessing and encouragement of its self-appointed guardians. Twenty years earlier Batista had become the strongman that would come to symbolize the heart and soul of Roosevelt's Good Neighbor Policy. ... Batista opened the way for large-scale gambling in Havana, and he reorganized the Cuban state so that he and his political appointees could harvest the nation's riches. He announced that his government would match, dollar for dollar, any hotel investment over $1 million, which would include a casino license, and Lansky became the center of the entire Cuban gambling operation. ... Due to popular unrest, and to apiece his U.S. friends, Batista held a mock election in which he was the only legal candidate. He won, becoming president of Cuba in 1954. Cubans, however, had learned not to trust him, and were demanding new, legitimate elections. ... By late 1955 student riots and anti-Batista demonstration had become frequent. These were dealt with in the violent manner his military police had come to represent. Students attempting to march from the University of Havana were stopped and beaten by the police, and student leader José A. Echeverría had to be hospitalized. Another popular student leader was killed on December 10, leading to a funeral that became a gigantic political protest with a 5-minute nationwide work stoppage. Instead of loosening his grip, Batista suspended constitutional guarantees and established tighter censorship of the media. His military police would patrol the streets and pick up anyone suspected of insurrection. By the end of 1955 they had grown more prone to violent acts of brutality and torture, with no fear of legal repercussions. http://www.fff.org/freedom/0599a.asp Before the Cuban revolution, Cuba's mercantilist economic system was similar to those found in other Latin American countries, with the state controlling, regulating, and taxing economic activity for the benefit of those who were politically privileged. Today, the term would be crony capitalism. ... Among Batista's favorite cronies were Mafia bosses, who moved their operations to Havana when their casinos in Florida were shut down. With Batista's full blessing and assistance, the Mafia made Cuba its base of operations, not only for gambling, but for heroin and cocaine distribution into the United States as well. Of course, the Mafia bosses, in turn, kicked back nice sums of money to Batista. Batista was the U.S. government's man in Havana, even though U.S. officials knew that he was a brutal, antidemocratic, corrupt tyrant in full partnership with Mafia murderers and drug dealers. None of this mattered to Washington policymakers. What mattered was that as our man in Havana, when Batista received orders from Washington, he obeyed. http://www.oz.net/~vvawai/sw/sw33/pgs_20-30/cuba.html Batista formed a partnership with the Mafia. Ciudad La Habana became the best little narco-trafficking base, money laundering center, and whorehouse in the Caribbean. So

--- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Richard J. Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So you are saying that the practice of this knowledge of Sri Vidya didn't exist prior? Sri Vidya, the Audicious Wisdom, has existed since the dawn of human conciousness, however as a tantric cult it dates from the eight century in India durng the time of the Sahajyas and mahasiddhas. The only means of liberation is the Grace of Guru. That's tantra - but it's very difficult to find a true guru in this age, that's why the tantras were prepared and desciminated. There is a TRUE guru walking the planet. The Adiguru Lord Dattatreya's Avatara Sri Ganapathi Sachchidananda Swamiji. Greater scholars than those perported in this forum have attempted to prove otherwise. Wanna make and attempt? Dattatreya must be familiar to you? From His mouth these ears heard the following words,Practice of tantra keeps one tied to the earth, Swamiji's way is Vedic way not tantric. So, Swamiji doesn't agree with the Shankaracharya of Sringeri? You can read for yourself what the Shankaracharya of Sringeri said when the Shankaracharya visited Sri Ganapathi Sachchidananda Swamiji in Mysore. Note who visited who. http://www.dattapeetham.com/india/latest/2002/april/sringeri/report.htm People nowadays can't read or write Sanskrit and thus they can't access the scriptures; This is not true. So you're a Sanskrit reader and you can read the tantras. Why then would you need a guru if you're already literate? The answer I gave does not make the claim that I could read Sanskrit. I do see written above your claim that people can't read it. According to Shankara one needs initiation from Guru in order to gain liberation. real gurus are hard to find; This is true. REAL gurus find their devotees at the proper time. and hardly anyone gets a shaktipat anymore; all we have now are the tantric techniques. Again believe what you will. Everyone meditates on something - that's why they call it meditation. Point is what is to meditate upon when Fullness is the reality? According to Shankaracharya of Sringeri, sadhaks should meditate on the Sri Vidya bija-mantras. I thought we were talking about Sri Brahamananda Saraswati's meditations. No denial about the sadhakas. Then again, what do I know. So, yes I do believe, based on the available evidence, that Swami Brahmanand Saraswati probably meditated on the Sri Chakra, just like all of the other Dasanamai Saraswati Sannyasins do. This I do not doubt. Does it mean that an ordinary Joe gains liberation from performing this puja? Meditation and puja or any other technique does not bring liberation - they only provide the opportunity for transcending. It is doubtful that anyone but these swamis can properly perform such, and if a Joe attempted would likely bring about more disasterous results than positive. Anyone who can think can meditate using the tantric bija-mantras. Again, the point was about proper (improper) performance of puja and not meditating. His mind doesn't set at the feet of Guru. Then what is the use? All these are a waste. Most of us don't live in India, therefore we can't sit at the feet of your Swamiji and get the shaktipat. Your statement is a very revealing one. Guru cannot be limited to the physical form. The sloka says: His mind doesn't set at the feet of Guru. Sri Swamiji has been around the world over 65 times. It wasn't in India where He became available to this sadhaka. He is available through His music and thousands of songs containing these bijas to which you refer. His music is most beautiful, His voice divine, so many songs to Devi. Tantra...Veda... the line is definitely very very thin. Dattatreya's ways are very tricky and not for everyone.

No one has ever said karma is instant that I recall hearing, and in any case, all actions are possible to justify if one tries hard enough. *Well, since you all are so stupid as to keep giving us money when we've clearly lied to you over and over again, we don't get bad karma from doing this. We're just the agents of your own karma trying to teach you to pay attention and quit believing con men and frauds.

Title: Founders Day September 12, 2005 . Dear Alumni and Friends,This Monday marks the 34th anniversary of the founding of Maharishi University of Management and as many of us remember, Maharishi International University. How can we ever begin to thank Maharishi for all the love, precious wisdom, and great patience he has bestowed upon us throughout the years?Let's celebrate together this coming Monday evening, September 12. Plans are still in the works. We are hopeful to connect with Holland or at least have some inspirational words. Locally, I would like to invite all those who wish to share in the "yagya" of thanksgiving to our Founder, to help bake sweets and treats and bring them to the Dome Monday evening, bring flowers or plants to help decorate the stage, and any other ideas you may have. Maharishi had organized such a magnificent celebration of thanks honoring Guru Dev this recent Guru Purnima Celebration that it would be so wonderful to return that thanks to Maharishi. Please call me or email me with your thoughts and let's all plan a beautiful evening together, beginning with large group program.Jai Guru DevJennine Fellmer[EMAIL PROTECTED]641-470-1349 To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'

This has been recognized in the military for years. I had to create yet another layer of management with 3-4 managers under me of those 24.

[FairfieldLife] Re: 'Bush: The Buck Stops Anywhere, But Here
I like to think of myself as an observer and commentator, but not an apologist. I try to describe what I see and experience and draw conclusions from the same, not paying too much attention to what the *accepted wisdom* is on any given topic. I think our ability to work together in large organizations is critical to much of what we, as a species, have come to enjoy. It's also produced many of our most difficult challenges. But humans overwhelmingly vote for what only large, stable, long-lived organizations (business, education, government, etc.) can provide. And we have for thousands of years. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Bhairitu [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So you're a big business apologist. :) Cliff wrote: There are many corporations of much larger than 200 people who can trace their existence back hundreds of years.

But we can attribute it to not lack of our efforts but lack of the luck of the world. We have to hide somewhere. So we hide behind the logic that it is the lack of luck of the world that it is not going so fast. There we take refuge. If it is not going fast we have a logic, it is the luck of the world. In the excerpt above, can anyone please explain to me what MMY is talking about when he says, We have to hide somewhere. So we hide behind the logic...? Sounds crazy to me. Caught my eye too. I suspect it's one of his quasi-gnomic statements that's open to multiple interpretations. The way I read it, he's saying there's an explanation that makes sense (the logic), but at the same time, in characterizing it as hiding, he's also suggesting that it's an excuse. As in: Some of you are mature enough to take responsibility for the failure without being crushed, and you don't need the excuse; those of you who who aren't that mature, here's something you can hide behind. And the whole tone of the message seems like he is protecting the incompetence of those in his movement. Or am I missing something? He's being more explicit about the failure than I've seen before, actually, but for whatever reason he's not lambasting the teachers for it. Benevolent of him, since the failure is his. On the other hand, we includes him. (In fact, one might even read it as the royal we, referring to himself alone. He frequently uses we to mean himself.) Yahoo!

Sorry, but *One Almighty* neither implies one door, nor His, nor one keyhole, nor one key. Even though there might be one ocean, there are many different rivers that flow into it, and an infinite number of places one can enter those many rivers, and a wide variety of completely acceptable craft to navigate the rivers on the journey. Your drone of *one and only* gives me even more pause than the original quote. Your logic is faulty.
