Like Y2K, the bird flu issue is most certainly real, though the hype about it may not be - the question is how lethal the mutated strain that can pass from human to human will be. I wasn't worried about Y2K because I saw the world markets weren't in Dec, 1999 - not that the problem never existed but that corporations had adequately dealt with it to avoid major problems. Still a little early for financial markets to react to bird flu. From Wikipedia, on Y2K. In the end, significant disasters such as nuclear reactor meltdowns or plane crashes did not occur, but the number of non-critical Y2K errors encountered on January 1, 2000 was extensive. Due to the lack of disasters and the faulty end of the world expectations, the public largely, but perhaps wrongly, regarded the Y2K passage as a non-event. Ironically, many people were upset that there appeared to be so much hype over nothing, because the vast majority of problems had been fixed correctly. Some critics have suggested that much preventive effort was unnecessary. Their argument is it would have been cheaper not to spend as much examining non-critical systems for flaws and simply fix the few that would have failed after the event. The argument of their opponents is that, had it not been for such efforts, the problem would have been much worse and widespread. For those not involved in the preventive effort, the conclusion that all the efforts have been a waste was easy to draw, as they had no knowledge of the countless systems that had been corrected, but had only witnessed the problems that had not been fixed in time. Also, few of them realized that fixing the problems afterwards would have been much harder as active millennium problems would have complicated matters. But in any case, for many systems the checking procedure involved replacement with new, improved functionality and thus in many cases the expenditure proved useful regardless. Yahoo!

[FairfieldLife] Text:: SPECIAL NEWS REPORT: Evangelizing FF - Christianity Today Magazine
--- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Rick Archer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2001/001/11.74.html The text: Field of TM Dreams Fairfield, Iowa, of all places, is now a major world center for Transcendental Meditation, and local Christians are figuring out how best to evangelize Maharishi's devotees. By John W. Kennedy | posted 1/12/01 Fairfield, Iowa, is the site of one of the most unusual town-gown relationships in the country: cornfields, summer park band concerts, and heavy industry mixed with Indian restaurants, colonic-irrigation clinics, and golden meditation domes. It all started in 1973, when Parsons College, a 98-year-old Presbyterian-affiliated school in Fairfield went bankrupt, leaving the town of 10,000 in a quandary. A year later, the fledgling Maharishi International Universityfounded by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, onetime guru to the Beatles, Clint Eastwood, and Joe Namathbought the campus for a bargain $2.5 million and transplanted from Santa Barbara, California. At first townsfolk rejoiced at what appeared to be their economic salvation. Some mainline ministers embraced Transcendental Meditation (TM) as an effective relaxation technique. Yet the honeymoon soon ended when several evangelical pastors charged that TM represented Hindu religion, not science as Maharishi asserted. The relationship has been strained for most of the 27 years that the school, now known as Maharishi University of Management (MUM), has been in Fairfield. But the tensions have escalated in recent months as TM has started bulldozing historic campus buildings and as meditators (followers of TM) have taken steps to incorporate their own town, Vedic City (the Vedas are the Hindu scriptures), north of Fairfield. While TM's influence continues to grow in Fairfield, most local evangelical churches are strugglingfew have more than 150 attending services. Still, they are seeking ways not merely to condemn TM but to reach out to meditators. Science or religion? More than 1,200 TM instruction centers in 108 countries offer free introductory lectures, including 135 in the United States. In all, 6 million people worldwide have taken TM classes, including 1.5 million Americans. Several studies have concluded that the TM lifestyle leads to better health, with twice-daily relaxation periods, adherence to a largely vegetarian diet, and abstention from alcohol and tobacco. Government offices, businesses, and prisons in several nations pay for workers and inmates to learn the technique. TM is also beginning to have a political presence, albeit a small one. John Hagelin, a quantum physicist at mum, nearly captured the Reform Party nomination for President of the United States. When that effort failed, he returned to the Maharishi-inspired Natural Law Party, which fielded more than 1,000 candidates in 50 states in November. He received 80,847 votes nationwide in the November election. As a meditation technique, TM has its origins in Hinduism, the religion of 700 million people worldwide, concentrated mostly in India. Hindus are polytheistic, recognizing an estimated 300 million gods. Hindus believe in reincarnation, in people's choices influencing their destiny, and in the sacredness of all forms of life. Meditators, though, deny they are engaged in religious activity. The Transcendental Meditation technique is not a religion; it is not a religious practice, says Craig Pearson, 50, executive vice president of mum. It has nothing to do with religion; it's all about developing a total potential of brain function. Pearson, whose office is near Taste of Utopia Street and Golden Dome Way, is the author of a forthcoming book on yogic flying, a hopping maneuver performed with one's legs crossed. Pearson says TM allows people to unlock their full God-given potential. All problems in the world, including drug abuse, school violence, marital strife, and government corruption, can be traced to a failure to use total brain potential, Pearson believes. There is no conflict with one's religion; in fact, there's only support for whatever one's religious tradition might be. Pearson echoes the 1989 announcement by the TM World Plan Executive Council that the scientific technique nourishes all religions. What Maharishi is propagating is the essence of Christianity, the council stated. By teaching TM, Maharishi is creating heaven on earth and fulfilling the will of Christ. Many Christians disagree. As Fairfield First Baptist Church pastor Jim Wotherspoon, 49, says, What it boils down to is either Jesus Christ is Lord or Maharishi Mahesh Yogi is Lord. For five years, Robert Relly lived in the Catskill Mountains of New York with an elite group that meditated, read Vedic scripture, and studied Sanskrit and Hindu astrology nine hours a day. He moved to Fairfield in 1993. I thought I was on the path to God, says Relly, 35. I was going to save the

The David Lynch Foundation for Consciousness-Based Education and World Peace, formed in July, is raising money to bring Transcendental Meditation to students from first grade through college. Mr. Lynch's vision involves raising $7 billion and creating universities dedicated to earth's future peacemakers. Diving within to the energy and bliss is how Mr. Lynch, who has been meditating for 30 of his 59 years, puts it. He hopes diving within will be standard in every student's curriculum. Pouring water on this root, these kids, he said. Enlightenment is the fulfillment of the most exquisite machine on earth. Any human being can visit it. Anything that is a thing emerges from this thing. Mr. Lynch's explanations are certainly imaginative, a film of his mind: The word transcending is the key to it, to the very deepest, most profound eternal level; It's not a joke. It's a thing that works. Mankind is not meant to suffer; This is an ocean of bliss. It's like grabbing onto the biggest elec trical line filled with bliss. Mr. Lynch, who is working on a film Inland Empire, practices T.M. 20 minutes twice a day by sitting in a comfortable position, closing his eyes and repeating a mantra. He says it allows him to enjoy the doing of things more. If somebody is a filmmaker, they get rid of things like deep fear, anxiety, frustration, he said of meditation's benefits. It's the real deal. The whole enchilada. You will fall deeper into the film. Notoriously reclusive, Mr. Lynch has come on stage to spread Consciousness-Based Education with fall speaking tours to universities on the East and West coasts. I really think it will change the world, he said. It's all imagination. The Lynch Foundation, with assets of about $410,000, has awarded so far $25,000 each in seed money to seven schools, three public charter schools, three public schools and one private school for children with learning disabilities, all of which requested help. Only two of the charter schools agreed to discuss their meditation program publicly because the other five schools were involved in research studies related to T.M., the foundation said. We have not gotten so much yet, Mr. Lynch said. But there are indications that we are going to do really well. Several of the seven schools received matching grants from other foundations and philanthropists who partnered with the Lynch Foundation. He is going to revolutionize education in America, said Dr. George H. Rutherford, principal of the Ideal Academy Public Charter School, an elementary and middle school in Washington. Dr. Rutherford said that many foundations call to donate computers, but what he needs is Transcendental Meditation so that the students can concentrate better to use the equipment. T.M. helps to reduce the stress that creates problems, he said. A meditation component is written into Ideal's charter, which was approved by the Board of Education and the Charter Association, both in Washington. Researchers at the Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield, Iowa, will measure the effects. To train teachers and fifth- and sixth-grade students, Ideal received $75,000 - $25,000 from the Lynch Foundation and a

I think that one of the things that would happen if Akasha's scenario takes place would be that people would be out on the street across the country - can't afford rent, can't afford to buy, can't afford to run a car. Any rentals that work would soon turn to slums since landlords would squeeze as many of the now low paying renters into the houses as possible. Unemployment is high under Akasha's scenario also. So milliopns of people would suddenly not be able to live the life they are accustomed to . There would be not enough money from taxes to pay for the police and army, and the black hole of Iraq would suck up any excess. A break-down in law and order would occur and corruption among police and politicians would be rife. Under Akasha's scenario, not mine, The already millions of dirt poor immigrants in US would now have nothing, but would take the opportunity to re-organize themselves and become a volatile and unpredictable force within the breaking down society. If the US pulls out of Iraq before it is a stable dictatorship again, the middle east will meltdown and oil prices will skyrocket. All the people who have been moving to the East and West coasts of the US, raising the population there, would be in a 1930's depression-like situation. While the now depopulating midwest would suffer loss of income from farming and other business. Oil prices would stifle the midwest to some extent. Next (under Akasha's scenario, not mine), the Chinese would make their move to start to buy or take over parts of the US based on the massive debt the US owes them. The US military would be in dissarray and corrupt due to lack of funding, and a better organised nation will have to take control someohow (directly or indirectly) of the dangerous US armeries. The greatest superpower on earth would have imploded. However (under Akasha's scenario, not mine), the midwest would most likely be the least affected area since it is the least populated and those from the West and East coast, who could do so, would move to the Midwest in droves to escape the chaos elswhere. They would also make life-changing decisions and (under Akasha's scenario, not mine), masses of them would move to Fairfield seeking a better way than before. Thus DIRECTLY impacting Fairfieldin a good way. Fairfielders would welcome them and they would learn the ways of the enlightened and house prices and business across the midwest would take off to be mecca that many east and west coasters would now seek. This is the relevance to Fairfield that Akasha is trying to convey. However, how many people here think that this scenario or a version of it will happen? If you think some of it will happen please pinpoint which aspects you think are feasible. Personally , I am with you, it is not a good place on FFL to discuss in such great swaths of cut and paste articles the hypothetical housing bubble bust, nor the hypothetical bird flu disaster.

A specific deeksha darshan to the brain and upper chakras of the subtle system. Depends some on who is giving it. Chalanda Ma seems to be promoting it as something to learn in form to give in that it cultivates the subtle system of the giver as well. Kalki seems to be holding the positioning it as something to pay (him) for. Chalanda Ma seems to be empire building with touches of flash like this. With either camp, then it is what you do with it in the subtle system to illumine the divine within otherwise. TM may have started something, these additions are advancement and then for instance Ammachi's IAM technique is a packaged spiritual practice then to integrate the shakti juice that can be in the deeksha that Chalanda Ma or Kalki are formatting. That is my experience with it. Chalanda and Kalki seem to have quite a lot of ego with it that they make contingent. Ammachi's is pretty open- handed by comparison for instance.

Chalanda Sai Ma saw Kalki giving deeksh some while ago so she thought `heck I can do that as a modality' and started giving it and also then teaching how to give `deeksha'. There is a lot of 'energy work' here otherwise of the similar modality. The irony is that one of the first weekends that the couple who were back from India having learned it for thousands of dollars from Kalki, the local Chalanda Ma devotees gave a weekend course in how to give deeksha for 45 bucks to cover the cost.. In both cases it is sort of a laying of hands on the head energy work in form. From either the Kalki people here or the Chalanda Ma people here it is nice. Partly it is nice because of the powerful room of spiritual practitioners who will git together and be at these meetings. It is a powerful meditating group here. As far as money, the Chalanda Sai Ma and Kalki folks here skate a fine line just to cover costs. People here generally are weary (sensitive) of the cult thing of raising money.

I think that one of the things that would happen if Akasha's scenario takes place would be that people would be out on the street across the country - can't afford rent, can't afford to buy, can't afford to run a car. Any rentals that work would soon turn to slums since landlords would squeeze as many of the now low paying renters into the houses as possible. Unemployment is high under Akasha's scenario also. So milliopns of people would suddenly not be able to live the life they are accustomed to . There would be not enough money from taxes to pay for the police and army, and the black hole of Iraq would suck up any excess. A break-down in law and order would occur and corruption among police and politicians would be rife. Under Akasha's scenario, not mine, The already millions of dirt poor immigrants in US would now have nothing, but would take the opportunity to re-organize themselves and become a volatile and unpredictable force within the breaking down society. If the US pulls out of Iraq before it is a stable dictatorship again, the middle east will meltdown and oil prices will skyrocket. All the people who have been moving to the East and West coasts of the US, raising the population there, would be in a 1930's depression-like situation. While the now depopulating midwest would suffer loss of income from farming and other business. Oil prices would stifle the midwest to some extent. Next (under Akasha's scenario, not mine), the Chinese would make their move to start to buy or take over parts of the US based on the massive debt the US owes them. The US military would be in dissarray and corrupt due to lack of funding, and a better organised nation will have to take control someohow (directly or indirectly) of the dangerous US armeries. The greatest superpower on earth would have imploded. However (under Akasha's scenario, not mine), the midwest would most likely be the least affected area since it is the least populated and those from the West and East coast, who could do so, would move to the Midwest in droves to escape the chaos elswhere. They would also make life-changing decisions and (under Akasha's scenario, not mine), masses of them would move to Fairfield seeking a better way than before. Thus DIRECTLY impacting Fairfieldin a good way. Fairfielders would welcome them and they would learn the ways of the enlightened and house prices and business across the midwest would take off to be mecca that many east and west coasters would now seek. This is the relevance to Fairfield that Akasha is trying to convey. However, how many people here think that this scenario or a version of it will happen? If you think some of it will happen please pinpoint which aspects you think are feasible. Personally , I am with you, it is not a good place on FFL to discuss in such great swaths of cut and paste articles the hypothetical housing bubble bust, nor the hypothetical bird flu disaster.

Some good advice in here for guru chasers. Better to just do it as much as possible on your own instead though. Or put another way, seek help as quietly and as subtly as possible. It avoids much of the confusion when the goal is reached. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Rick Archer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: *** Swami G has a website: http://kundalinisupport.com/ a timely offering on this ongoing subject) * Next question: If a disciple goes astray and then comes back to you and asks for forgiveness, is this almost always, always or rarely granted? g: depends ... if they have taken Diksha elsewhere then No --- the bond is broken . other situations are case by case * I am starting to run into a dilemma by the minute. I have all my travel plans for India but I think I am getting talked out of it as I continue to ask you questions. G: while india may hold a lot of allure it is Not the sole place where an authentic Guru may be found... * When you say Diksha, there must be a vast difference and degree of it according to circumstances. For example, Kalki Bhagwan has his disciples or even I think students that are not full blown disciples give Diksha. He also has Diksha going on in his ashram. A Diksha giver that I met in New York said it is much more powerful at the ashram. G: yes - * It is explained in Kalki Bhagawan's site that his dasaJi's give the Diksha because if he did it, it would be too overpowering. G: i say that is total balderdash .. he is just to lazy to take on that mantle ... therefore it is being taken over by others so he can put his energies elsewhere ... WHY do guru's promote such crap ? that it would be just to overpowering IF he gave Diksha directly ... sorry i can't nor won't promote such a statement as being anyway valid. * Would you give one of your disciples permission to take Diksha elsewhere? G: absolutely Not ... you cannot walk two paths --- under two Guru's at one time... i don't have the time nor inclination to continually undo the confusion that takes place when that happens Before taking Diksha sadhakas should decide on One path .. * What if one of your disciples took Darshan from mother Meera, for example-she touches your head, and looks at you. G: Darshan is different than Diksha .. Diksha is transmitting some of the Guru's energy to awakening or stabalizing your Kundalini - it is also a Commitment like getting married .. you don't go to the altar and enter into a marriage with more than one person at a time Diksha is almost like getting married and yet it is even a deeper commitment .. the Guru is making a commitment to Guide you for the whole of this life and even beyond if needed . Why should Any authentic Guru commit to such a thing with a sadhaka who prefers to not honor such a relationship .???. Do you think it is ok to chase prostitutes and dishonor your wife ? perhaps a prostitute may give you a moment of joy but then you take the risk of picking up a disease .. so what is better ? to chase prostitutes or to have a pure marriage with one that cares for your welfare ??? this isn't like signing up for a new course . a new college class.. Unfortunately this is how sadhakas are viewing Diksha and entering a path . oh it's just another type of learning and more is better ... No it isn't . not when it comes to walking through a Kundalini path ... * Or for example, I went to this center in NY, and then when the lady asked me to meditate with her mantra or chant, I explained that I already have my meditation technique so I will do that instead. G: this would be the correct way to handle it .. * Are these sort of undertakings enough for you to part with a disciple? If so, then isn't it an individual consideration for each Guru based on his style, to determine which punishment fits which crime (so to speak)? G: there is no *punishment* ... the Guru will either work with you -- or when the bond has been breached on Purpose then Why in the world does the Guru owe you anything ? Sort of like if you have a husband that is carrying on an affair or running after prostitutes Why in the world should the wife continue to honor a commitment with her whole heart when it is clear that this Trust has been broken .. this relationship has been severed on the energetic and heart levels by his actions . Can you understand it better by this analogy ? it is not an ego thing on the part of the Guru .. it is a full on Commitment to aide you within your journey . the Guru is offering you the way to find the Pearl of Great Price they are offering their time, expertise , energy , hearts commitment , support , a stabilizing influence , clarity which you yet do not posses .

dhamiltony2k5 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: akasha_108 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:udio. Hi doug, I sense your broad frustration. That housing discussions is filling up FFL may be a bit of an exageration. The recent thread has 18 posts. Hardly competes with Ostrich Meat, and does not far exceed Would You let Gates be Born or Home Recording Studio But I agree, relevance to FF, or TMers lives, (here or there, or anywhere) or spiritual matters are the most sought and appealing topics on FFL. IMO, the potential housing bubble is relevant to relevance to FF, and TMers lives. As I posted yesterday, it could have a sizeable impact on mortgage rates (which will affect the salability of FF housing), national employment and income (which will affect the many FF business that have a national clientele) and potenital in and out migration of FF. On the latter, as home prices in hot markets (West Coast, East Coast, Florida, etc) and quite warm markets (many metro areas) -- people throughout the country have the option to cash out and with the proceeds could buy quite nice -- better tan they left, FF properties in cash. And participate in what you have been nicely pointing out -- an ambiance and community is similar to Boulder, Ashville, etc -- but in a smaller town context. On the other hand, if the bubble deflates repidly (compared to 15-20 year slow swish) homes in many attractive (beach, mountain etc) areas may be at 30-50% of current prices. At a percieved bottom. Many who have cash in FF, may decide to venture out and buy at the bottom of the market. And get some environmental ammenities they have not had in FF. And a rapid bubble deflation could cause some degree of disruption and suffering (nothing of the scale of Off's scenarios). I always thought compassion and assistance was part of the FF seva ethic -- perhaps not. But I get your point. For whatever reasons, you and others percieve the relativly small number of housing posts as filling up FFL. A good scapegoat for the agreed demise of quality of FFL in the past year, relative to its golden years. The current demise of quality of FFL relative to its golden years has made me ponder. It may be time to move on. To find a group more in synch with my interests. I may lurk occaisionally, but for reasons of interest and time, I think I will moeve on. FFL has been great. I have learned a lot. Best of Luck. Yes, you have succeeded to fill up the FFL list with exacting 'almost anything', as the FFL home page encourages. Why is the topic here? Out on the street for a while I ask and talk to a lot of people who do not read FFL anymore because of the reams of unrelated stuff like this. People would be more inclined to come here as a place if it stuck to topic (FFL) a little more, but they tend not to look anymore. Can you bring this thread to Fairfield. Like, is this disparity between rents and mortgage payments why the TMO is converting its properties to cash? Or that some of the meditating community has fled to other places and that some of the meditating community is looking to move here as a place. Is it a reason to dump real estate in FF? Or buy. What is the trend in Fairfield? Is the FF market unrelated local trend or national? Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.

never say never! Rasa quizzing the great swami again! g: what *great* swami ? www.womanthouartgod.com greetings swami g! greetings and Namaste - * I had a dream the day of creating that group. (tasting sugar) god appeared to me as ultimate prosperity and success. it was Arnold and wife Maria representing this. a feast had been created and I brought all the 'elements' or fruit and gifts in a basket. Arnold told me 'enough' but I quickly brought even more. they were many fruits, and he topped them with whipped cream. I also walked with Maria and I put my arm around her, touching her shoulder and caressing her arm from shoulder to elbow.(this is a special service I perform for mother god, the mission) we were such good loving friends! (this part of the dream represents my life's work, offerings, which god now anoints. and these are to be handed out to a group at the feast, in bowls) later Arnold went somewhere and I followed him. I asked for him and they told me he had entered this church. I went into it seeking him, but could not find him. (I could not find him because I was one with him. he in me, me in him) then holy communion was ready. I went to the altar and a lay person, a female, was handing it out. it was made of whole grain and it was two communions melted into one. (god and me) as I received this holy communion, I was amazed that it was covered with sugar! (the sugar represents tasting god or a state of duality...but since two communions are one, we are also one. one and indivisible like the trinity) I instantly thought, upon awakening, of Ramakrishna. (this dream represents incredible prosperity and success in relation to my life, to the articles of yours I had put on my site that day, and to my spiritual state. my closeness to Maria is my work for matriarchy just getting going. it also portended, in another part of the dream, great financial wealth. I left out many details, but lately, since starting work on matriarchy, god has appeared to me in this way many times - saying I am especially chosen for this mission and there will be prosperity/ success on all levels.) g: well you certainly have vivid dreams.. * now about where you are and where I am, swami g. the interviews I did of you are gaining a new resurgence. now that I have them on the site and elsewhere yes, people are asking about you. g: don't know what they are asking about as none have contacted here. * they are fascinated by you as you are on a level that is in the stratosphere. g: no am simply in the natural state of realization * I have no idea where you are, exactly, in the way you describe it, but I am learning. the group formed is a place where myself and others will engage you in respectful questions in the hope of learning. g: it isn't a matter of learning realization is nothing one can get by way of intellectual discussion. one rather goes within through the layers of consciousness until there is nothing left which covers the ever present reality * your teaching is so advanced that one has to really concentrate on it. it is not easy. g: on the contrary it is quite natural. this is why when heard it moves the heart and mind . because it will resonate as truth - why ? simply since there is only one divine essence of being and this is what you are minus the covering of mind with attachments to form (termed ego). * I noticed that people are afraid of you. why? they are afraid because you are so beyond them that they cannot hope of standing in a matched conversation, and so, they remain silent. g: there is no being beyond how can one be beyond when each have the same essential self the mind of duality sees levels of higher and lower . that myth ends in realization * it is hard to be humble. g: what is humility ? humility is a state and mindset of again higher and lower . humility or arrogance come out of a skewed view . * people want to be equal or dominate a conversation, so they remain silent rather than have you show them up. g: there is nothing to show up - many may feel put upon --- or will have buttons pushed .. why ? because there are yet conditionings in place and attachments to mind and belief systems in place when mental attachments are in place then up come the emotions - eventually rather than attempting to fight others or run away from what is taking place there is a stopping and simply encountering what is rising . this then gets questioned and the roots are cut .. sat guru's have many times a tendency to be a mirror that people can not run away from ... it isn't always easy to see what one has been attempting to overcome or run away from or put behind them. whatever is given is given out of compassion as one that is realized knows that suffering can be transcended that each is free and unfortunately most are creating and sustaining their suffering out of ignorance . * I am encouraging
[FairfieldLife] HOG LOT
Title: HOG LOT JFAN has been very active over the last month. As you may know, we have approved four grants in the Jefferson County community, three to help in the legal fight against the intrusive and harmful effects of hog factories (CAFOs) and one to encourage sustainable, non-intrusive farming practices in Jefferson County. We are now in the process of raising additional money to fund these grants and others. One grant is to the Dick Simmons family. Dick is retired and was on the Jefferson County Board of Supervisors for many years. Unfortunately, he is now battling cancer. His son Tim, who is fighting in Iraq, lives even closer to the CAFO. Without any warning, they have watched as a CAFO was constructed within a stones throw of their homes and they are devastated. Their homes could be seriously devalued and they will be subjected to all the detriments of the hog confinement. We need to help our neighborsand ourselves! Wont you please consider contributing $50.00 to $100.00. Naturally, you can do more if you wish, or you may need to contribute less due to personal circumstances. But it is essential that everyone becomes involved. You can make your donation to: Jefferson County Farmers and Neighbors, Inc. PO Box 811 Fairfield, IA 52556 The threat of hog factories is not a distant thought but something that needs to be acted on now. More CAFOs are being planned in Jefferson County. We do not want to become like our neighbor, Davis County. In 1997, they were promised only 20 CAFOs would be built, but within 3 years, over 80 were constructed and now they have 1 million hogs! There are dozens of reasons why it may not be the right time to give but there is one big reason to contribute your health and happiness. We hate to put it this way, but if you dont do anything, then you have to assume nothing will be done. We all know what that would mean to our cherished community. We wish we could call you directly, but all of us involved in JFAN are volunteers and time does not allow for that. If you have any questions, please contact me. Best wishes for a healthy future. Robert Swanson JFAN Officer and Board Member 641-209-6600 PS We need to educate the public about the detrimental impact of CAFOs and encourage sustainable agriculture.

[FairfieldLife] Diksha report from Texas
Title: Diksha report from Texas Friday night was very powerful. FIrst a chakra meditation is done. It's on a CD so it is just played. It alone is quite transformational. I experience it as more powerful than Amma's meditation. There is the chanting of each chakra sound included. Then group diksha. I thought I probably wouldn't feel it. They just sat at the front and generated diksha for everyone mentally. I felt it. I felt huge shifts in my physiology. Then diksha by each guy. First William and then Steve. I think the amount of people there make a difference. There were so many people. This time I wouldn't say that it was blissfulit was physiologicallly transformational. I felt so many shifts in my body on so many levels. After the second diksha I just kind of melted and slithered down onto the floor. They recommend resting 15 to 30 minutes afterwards. Then I went downstairs and sat around and chatted with some friends and i could feel my heart chakra purifying a lot. That night I woke up with my heart chakra feeling like it was in a stainless steel vice. Did some sedona and other work around it and it released. For a few days I felt a level of being grounded into the earth like I have never ever been. I wanted to comment to the person on FFL that said this was about opening the crown chakra. I don't believe this is the case. I think the meditation prior to the diksha does that. The 'diksha giver', I believe, only pours God Energy into the already opened crown.

[FairfieldLife] Re: HOG LOT
This is one of the reasons we should have normalized relations with Cuba. Cubans just love their pork: Pork with rice, pulled pork and beans, Cuban pork sandwiches, just about porco con everything imaginable. At an average nationwide salary of $20.00/month, Cubans would not mind to have the smell, disease, and general overall discomfort of living in proximity to pig farms if we Americans could ante-up, say, an extra $5.00 or $10.00 a month premium to any and all Cubans who would have to live near or work at a pig farm. Virtually all U.S. pig farms (or at least those that would endanger lives, housing values or standards of living, such as the ones being contemplated for Jefferson County) could be relocated to the Island of Cuba (of course, there should be a 100-mile buffer zone between any pig farm and Guantanamo Bay...we don't want either our soldiers or our non-pork-eating Al-Quada prisoners put out). A side-benefit to our pig-removal? Peace! Better relations between the Commies and ourselves! --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Rick Archer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: JFAN has been very active over the last month. As you may know, we have approved four grants in the Jefferson County community, three to help in the legal fight against the intrusive and harmful effects of hog factories (CAFOs) and one to encourage sustainable, non-intrusive farming practices in Jefferson County. We are now in the process of raising additional money to fund these grants and others. One grant is to the Dick Simmons family. Dick is retired and was on the Jefferson County Board of Supervisors for many years. Unfortunately, he is now battling cancer. His son Tim, who is fighting in Iraq, lives even closer to the CAFO.

Global Country of World Peace -- NEWSFLASH for Great Britain *** SUBJECT: Establishing World Peace through the eradication of global poverty Global Country of World Peace - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Maharishi Vedic City Office of Communications 2000 Capital Blvd., Maharishi Vedic City, Iowa 52556 . 641-470-1344 Press Release Maharishi Vedic City's City Council Resolves to Establish Permanent World Peace through the Eradication of Global Poverty Calls on Top Ten World Banks to Lend Funds for Organic Agricultural Projects in Developing Countries Maharishi Vedic City's City Council unanimously passed a resolution today to establish permanent world peace through the eradication of global poverty. The City Council pledged to work with other governments, non-profit organisations, and large banks around the world to establish agricultural projects on 250 million acres of unused agricultural land in developing countries. Local poor people will be hired at good wages to farm the lands, and housing and schools will also be provided for them, according to Dr. Bob Wynne, the Mayor of Maharishi Vedic City. The start-up costs for this project to permanently eradicate poverty in the world are estimated to be only $100 billion over a 2 to 3 year period of time, and then to be self-sufficient after that. Dr. Wynne said the need is urgent-and the solution is available. According to the United Nations Human Development Report 2005, 1.2 billion people in the world live in extreme poverty earning less than $1 per day. And according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation, there are 40 developing countries alone that have more than 2.5 billion acres of unutilised land with agricultural potential. As long as extreme poverty exists in the world, then individual peace and individual health, which is the basis of world peace, will be impossible to attain, Dr. Wynne said. Fortunately, the government of Maharishi Vedic City is dedicated to, and has the technologies and approaches that can establish the basis for permanent world peace. Yahoo!

[FairfieldLife] Re: :propagandizing the NY Times- David Lynch Article- link attached
It's the headline in Global Good News that's misleading. The article itself is clearly a report ABOUT the NYT article. That's quite different. Of course they've mentioned the good bits and omitted the so-so bits. There's nothing wrong in that. But the headline shouldn't have been chosen to make it appear that it was a reprinted article from the NY Times. Perhaps this was just incompetence rather than a deliberate attempt to mislead, since the article itself clearly indicates that it is GGN's report about the NYT article, not the article itself. FROM GLOBAL GOOD NEWS Earth's future peacemakers just need a little TM by Lily Koppel The New York Times Translate This Article 14 November 2005 On 14 November 2005 The New York Times reported: Filmmaker David Lynch is raising money to make the Transcendental Meditation Programme available to students from first grade through college. New York Times reporter Lily Koppel said that Lynch wants to make the simple mental technique 'a standard in every student's curriculum'. It is a joy for Global Good News service to feature this news, which indicates the success of the life- supporting programmes Maharishi has designed to bring fulfilment to the field of world-peace. Although often described as 'notoriously reclusive', Lynch has stepped into the public spotlight by founding the David Lynch Foundation for Consciousness-Based Education and has embarked on a speaking tour to universities on the East and West Coasts. His goal is clear: 'I really think it will change the world,' Lynch was quoted as saying. The article said that the Lynch Foundation currently has assets of about $410,000. To date seven schools have each been awarded $25,000 in seed money to begin programmes using the TM Technique. Two of the charter schools discussed their programmes with the New York Times reporter. Dr George H. Rutherford, principal of the Ideal Academy Public Charter School, an elementary and middle school in Washington, DC, said of Lynch, 'He is going to revolutionize education in America.' Dr Rutherford said that while other foundations tend to focus on providing learning tools (such as computers) to students, the Transcendental Meditation Programme helps develop the students themselves. 'TM helps to reduce the stress that creates problems,' he was quoted as saying. Researchers at Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield, Iowa, will measure the effects of the meditation programme on students. A second school to receive a $25,000 grant from the Lynch Foundation was the Nataki Talibah Schoolhouse of Detroit, a public charter school, which previously received TM financing from the DaimlerChrysler Corporation Fund and the General Motors Foundation. According to the article, Nataki seventh- and eighth-grade students who worked as a non-meditating control group in a 2002 study, tracking the 'social-emotional competencies' of the meditating students, now want to experience what their peers had. In addition, Koppel reported, the Lynch Foundation is partnering with other philanthropists to grant another $25,000 each to the University of Michigan, Yale, Emerson College and other colleges to help teach students TM. The foundation is also partnering to support an American University study on TM and college students. Every day Global Good News documents the rise of a better quality of life dawning in the world and highlights the need for introducing Natural Law basedTotal Knowledge basedprogrammes to bring the support of Nature to every individual, raise the quality of life of every society, and create a lasting state of world peace.

[FairfieldLife] This explanes it
THEORY OF DUMB DESIGN MAY EXPLAIN PAT ROBERTSON Televangelist's Brain, Mouth Elude Other Theories, Experts Say Out of the controversial debate pitting the theory of evolution against the theory of intelligent design has emerged a new theory, dumb design, which some experts believe may explain the televangelist Pat Robertson. The theory of dumb design holds that human beings were designed by a superior being, but one who mysteriously designed certain humans in a particularly dumb way. Enter Rev. Robertson, whom many experts in the theory of dumb design are calling Exhibit A in their effort to prove that the theory holds water. If you take a look at Pat Robertson's brain and mouth, and how they work or do not work in concert, you have a fairly persuasive argument that the theory of dumb design is valid, said Dr. Davis Logsdon of the University of Minnesota, one of the leading advocates of the dumb design theory. The theory of dumb design began to gain traction in August, when Rev. Robertson called upon the U.S. to assassinate Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez. And last week, when Rev. Robertson warned the people of Dover, Pennsylvania, that God would strike them with natural disasters after they removed school board members who favored teaching creationism, the theory of dumb design seemed to achieve critical mass. But even an adherent of dumb design like Dr. Logsdon warns against putting too much stock in the theory, adding, No one theory could possible explain all the things Pat Robertson says. Yahoo!

New York Times reporter Lily Koppel said that Lynch wants to make the simple mental technique 'a standard in every student's curriculum'. It is a joy for Global Good News service to feature this news, which indicates the success of the life- supporting programmes Maharishi has designed to bring fulfilment to the field of world-peace. Although often described as 'notoriously reclusive', Lynch has stepped into the public spotlight by founding the David Lynch Foundation for Consciousness-Based Education and has embarked on a speaking tour to universities on the East and West Coasts. His goal is clear: 'I really think it will change the world,' Lynch was quoted as saying. The article said that the Lynch Foundation currently has assets of about $410,000. To date seven schools have each been awarded $25,000 in seed money to begin programmes using the TM Technique. Two of the charter schools discussed their programmes with the New York Times reporter. Dr George H. Rutherford, principal of the Ideal Academy Public Charter School, an elementary and middle school in Washington, DC, said of Lynch, 'He is going to revolutionize education in America.' Dr Rutherford said that while other foundations tend to focus on providing learning tools (such as computers) to students, the Transcendental Meditation Programme helps develop the students themselves. 'TM helps to reduce the stress that creates problems,' he was quoted as saying. Researchers at Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield, Iowa, will measure the effects of the meditation programme on students. A second school to receive a $25,000 grant from the Lynch Foundation was the Nataki Talibah Schoolhouse of Detroit, a public charter school, which previously received TM financing from the DaimlerChrysler Corporation Fund and the General Motors Foundation. According to the article, Nataki seventh- and eighth-grade students who worked as a non-meditating control group in a 2002 study, tracking the 'social-emotional competencies' of the meditating students, now want to experience what their peers had. In addition, Koppel reported, the Lynch Foundation is partnering with other philanthropists to grant another $25,000 each to the University of Michigan, Yale, Emerson College and other colleges to help teach students TM.

Yeah, its the same. Similar. A specific deeksha
darshan to the brain
and upper chakras of the subtle system. Depends
some on who is
giving it.
Chalanda Ma seems to be promoting it as something to
learn in form
to give in that it cultivates the subtle system of
the giver as
well. Kalki seems to be holding the positioning it
as something to
pay (him) for. Chalanda Ma seems to be empire
building with touches
of flash like this. With either camp, then it is
what you do with
it in the subtle system to illumine the divine
within otherwise. TM
may have started something, these additions are
advancement and then
for instance Ammachi's IAM technique is a packaged
spiritual
practice then to integrate the shakti juice that can
be in the
deeksha that Chalanda Ma or Kalki are formatting.
That is my
experience with it. Chalanda and Kalki seem to have
quite a lot of
ego with it that they make contingent. Ammachi's is
pretty open-
handed by comparison for instance. That is also my
experience with
it.

Well, they do have the lingo down actually...
You'll be enlightened

i am curious how big of a following there is

is it
a growing trend now that TMO is faltering? Do
they
have
their own Center in fairfield, for this Kalki
deeksha thing?
Or a website?
Seems sort of like everyone is giving `deeksha'
here. Chalanda Sai
Ma saw Kalki giving deeksh some while ago so she
thought `heck I can
do that as a modality' and started giving it and
also then teaching
how to give `deeksha'. There is a lot of
'energy
work' here otherwise
of the similar modality.
The irony is that one of the first weekends that
the
couple who were
back from India having learned it for thousands
of
dollars from Kalki,
the local Chalanda Ma devotees gave a weekend
course
in how to give
deeksha for 45 bucks to cover the cost.. In
both
cases it is sort of
a laying of hands on the head energy work in

From either the
Kalki people here or the Chalanda Ma people here
it
is nice. Partly
it is nice because of the powerful room of
spiritual
practitioners who
will git together and be at these meetings. It
is a
powerful
meditating group here.
As far as money, the Chalanda Sai Ma and Kalki
folks
here skate a fine
line just to cover costs. People here generally
are
weary (sensitive)
of the cult thing of raising money. Also, a lot
of
the money that
used to be here just is not anymore.
Just us

remain mostly.

If you're going to have a NYT headline, you should accurately reflect the content, or at least have a hot link to the article: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/14/giving/14koppel.html Bob Brigante http://geocities.com/bbrigante FROM GLOBAL GOOD NEWS Earth's future peacemakers just need a little TM by Lily Koppel The New York Times Translate This Article 14 November 2005 On 14 November 2005 The New York Times reported: Filmmaker David Lynch is raising money to make the Transcendental Meditation Programme available to students from first grade through college. New York Times reporter Lily Koppel said that Lynch wants to make the simple mental technique 'a standard in every student's curriculum'. It is a joy for Global Good News service to feature this news, which indicates the success of the life- supporting programmes Maharishi has designed to bring fulfilment to the field of world-peace. Although often described as 'notoriously reclusive', Lynch has stepped into the public spotlight by founding the David Lynch Foundation for Consciousness-Based Education and has embarked on a speaking tour to universities on the East and West Coasts. His goal is clear: 'I really think it will change the world,' Lynch was quoted as saying. The article said that the Lynch Foundation currently has assets of about $410,000. To date seven schools have each been awarded $25,000 in seed money to begin programmes using the TM Technique. Two of the charter schools discussed their programmes with the New York Times reporter. Dr George H. Rutherford, principal of the Ideal Academy Public Charter School, an elementary and middle school in Washington, DC, said of Lynch, 'He is going to revolutionize education in America.' Dr Rutherford said that while other foundations tend to focus on providing learning tools (such as computers) to students, the Transcendental Meditation Programme helps develop the students themselves. 'TM helps to reduce the stress that creates problems,' he was quoted as saying. Researchers at Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield, Iowa, will measure the effects of the meditation programme on students. A second school to receive a $25,000 grant from the Lynch Foundation was the Nataki Talibah Schoolhouse of Detroit, a public charter school, which previously received TM financing from the DaimlerChrysler Corporation Fund and the General Motors

Rick Archer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: *** Swami G has a website: http://kundalinisupport.com/ a timely offering on this ongoing subject) * Next question: If a disciple goes astray and then comes back to you and asks for forgiveness, is this almost always, always or rarely granted? g: depends ... if they have taken Diksha elsewhere then No --- the bond is broken . other situations are case by case * I am starting to run into a dilemma by the minute. I have all my travel plans for India but I think I am getting talked out of it as I continue to ask you questions. G: while india may hold a lot of allure it is Not the sole place where an authentic Guru may be found... * When you say Diksha, there must be a vast difference and degree of it according to circumstances. For example, Kalki Bhagwan has his disciples or even I think students that are not full blown disciples give Diksha. He also has Diksha going on in his ashram. A Diksha giver that I met in New York said it is much more powerful at the ashram. G: yes - * It is explained in Kalki Bhagawan's site that his dasaJi's give the Diksha because if he did it, it would be too overpowering. G: i say that is total balderdash .. he is just to lazy to take on that mantle ... therefore it is being taken over by others so he can put his energies elsewhere ... WHY do guru's promote such crap ? that it would be just to overpowering IF he gave Diksha directly ... sorry i can't nor won't promote such a statement as being anyway valid. * Would you give one of your disciples permission to take Diksha elsewhere? G: absolutely Not ... you cannot walk two paths --- under two Guru's at one time... i don't have the time nor inclination to continually undo the confusion that takes place when that happens Before taking Diksha sadhakas should decide on One path .. * What if one of your disciples took Darshan from mother Meera, for example-she touches your head, and looks at you. G: Darshan is different than Diksha .. Diksha is transmitting some of the Guru's energy to awakening or stabalizing your Kundalini - it is also a Commitment like getting married .. you don't go to the altar and enter into a marriage with more than one person at a time Diksha is almost like getting married and yet it is even a deeper commitment .. the Guru is making a commitment to Guide you for the whole of this life and even beyond if needed . Why should Any authentic Guru commit to such a thing with a sadhaka who prefers to not honor such a relationship .???. Do you think it is ok to chase prostitutes and dishonor your wife ? perhaps a prostitute may give you a moment of joy but then you take the risk of picking up a disease .. so what is better ? to chase prostitutes or to have a pure marriage with one that cares for your welfare ??? this isn't like signing up for a new course . a new college class.. Unfortunately this is how sadhakas are viewing Diksha and entering a path . oh it's just another type of learning and more is better ... No it isn't . not when it comes to walking through a Kundalini path ... * Or for example, I went to this center in NY, and then when the lady asked me to meditate with her mantra or chant, I explained that I already have my meditation technique so I will do that instead. G: this would be the correct way to handle it .. * Are these sort of undertakings enough for you to part with a disciple? If so, then isn't it an individual consideration for each Guru based on his style, to determine which punishment fits which crime (so to speak)? G: there is no *punishment* ... the Guru will either work with you -- or when the bond has been breached on Purpose then Why in the world does the Guru owe you anything ? Sort of like if you have a husband that is carrying on an affair or running after prostitutes Why in the world should the wife continue to honor a commitment with her whole heart when it is clear that this Trust has been broken .. this relationship has been severed on the energetic and heart levels by his actions . Can you understand it better by this analogy ? it is not an ego thing on the part of the Guru .. it is a full on Commitment to aide you within your journey . the Guru is offering you the way to find the Pearl of Great Price they are offering their time, expertise , energy , hearts commitment , support , a stabilizing influence , clarity which you yet do not posses . Now what are you offering in return ??? to listen on

But, that's the luck of the world in the Kaliyuga -- the transition to enlightenment values can't happen quickly... Lynch will either raise more cash or he won't. Why is everyone harping on the lack of funds in a foundation started a few months ago? Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
