[FairfieldLife] Re: 'Emotional Healing'
Dr Pete: writes The Shiva Sutras have a sloka(?) that specifically states that you become realized only through your own effort, nothing else. Tom T: from the shiva sutras as posted here two years ago by Michael Goodman Shiva Sutras Translated by Sage Vasugupta First Awakening 1. Universal Consciousness is one's own nature. (Swami Lakshmanjoo: Supreme consciousness is the reality of everything.) 2. Knowing the individual consciousness as one's own nature and not knowing the Universal Consciousness as one's own nature is bondage. (Swami Lakshmanjoo: Knowing differentiatedly is bondage and not knowing undifferentiatedly is bondage.) 3. Differentiated perception and the field of individual activities are also bondage. [Editor's note: #2 & #3 seem to refer to rishi, devatta, and chhandas in their non-samhita, differentiated, individual state.] (Swami Lakshmanjoo: Mayiyamala and karmamala are also bondage.) [Mayiyamala = yonivargah, differentiated knowledge, intellectual dis- crimination between pairs of opposites.Karmamala = kalashariram, the embodiment of action as separate action.] 4. This threefold bondage is attributable to and commanded by the Universal Mother while She remains unknown. Hence the field of ignorance comes into existence through Her and not through any other agency. (Swami Lakshmanjoo: The Universal Mother commands this triple knowledge.) 5. To get rid of this triple bondage, such effort constitutes (the) means,which is identical with Bhairava [Lord Shiva]. (Swami Lakshmanjoo: That effort, the flashing forth of active awareness that instantaneously makes universal consciousness shine, is Bhairava.) 6. With deep contemplation on the wheel of energies, the whole differentiated universe comes to an end. [Editor: Transcendental Consciousness.] (Swami Lakshmanjoo: By establishing and meditating on the wheel of energiesthe differentiated universe comes to an end.) 7. Such a yogi, who has accomplished this stage, experiences Turiya (Tran-scendental God Consciousness) in the other three states also - jagrat (wake-fulness), swapna (dream) and sushupti (deep sleep).

I guess you'd have to collect honest data on drug use, arrest records, sexually transmitted diseases, etc., presuming those indicate poor adjustment, as well as positive measures, and compare them with the larger population of kids of similar socio-economic status. My guess is that there wouldn't be a dramatic discrepancy, but I may be wrong. I was still high school age when I learned TM and it had a tremendously healing influence.

Johnson with his ~73,000 Vietnam War dead (American deaths only) came to mind. Though I don't recall specifically the dictators he supported under his administration so I can't correlate the 11 million enslaved. And Bush the first killed roughly 100,000 Iraqis during the first war, and then allowed Sadaam to remain in power, enslaving roughly 25 million. Oh, and Reagan propped up quite a few central american dictatorships during his terms, easily surpassing the '11 million enslaved' number. Damn, you're making Castro out to be some kind of wimp or something! No wonder we hate him so much, he doesn't even kick ass like we do!

Well that is heartening to hear. It isn't something I really ever
think about, because I am never aware of it- this bidirectional
effect of enlightenment. It makes sense though, that as we realize
the world and ourselves as One, that all of those false boundaries
between us and 'them' are dissolved, and in a profound way, service
to the world is rendered; the world is more easily able to know
itslef and thus more easily fulfill its purpose. That must account
for all the 'support of Nature' we experience after enlightenment.
As you sow, etc. Though as I said I rarely if ever give it a second
thought.
Perhaps the elimination of boundaries renders the world as were are
to such an extent it is seamless. I was buying chocolates in a
chocolate store today and I remarked to the woman behind the counter
that the store smelled so good. Then I asked her if she could smell
it after being there all day, and she said no. Then she added that
even when she gets there in the morning and walks in, it no longer
smells like chocolate. Same thing.

[FairfieldLife] MSAE record, was Re: Yagna By Choice. It Works
You are so intent on denigrating the achievements of others that you can see nothing but faults and failures. Successes should also be acknowledged, in my view. That doesn't mean that the school is perfect, or without serious problems, but its successes are undeniable to any reasonable observer. Nor are these successes all in the past. If you were to look at the University Report, 2004-05, you would see full details of awards won, with names of competitions and students. (I don't think it's available online; it's sent to donors.) Here's just one example: Maharishi School students won more first- and second-place awards than any other school in the world at the Destination ImagiNation world competition held in Knoxville, Tennessee. I don't expect to convince you of the merits of the school, nor do I care to, since you appear to be more interested in venting your anger and cynicism than in pursuing the truth, but I hope there are others on this forum who are capable of reaching more accurate, balanced and informed conclusions than you are. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Sal Sunshine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Dec 9, 2005, at 3:32 PM, feste37 wrote: > > > No, it's not changed.

He's just caught-up in a repetition compulsion, evoking ire from people with his constant needling and then when they unload on him, like I did this morning, he claims he is totally innocent and is being unfairly victimized. Even his post regarding his abuse was completely inappropriate and used to, I guess, evoke sympathy for him. Notice how he paints people in a broad brush as villians who exploit him, the weak innocent victim.

[FairfieldLife] Walking through solid walls..Witnessed by hundreds
Life History of H.H. Sri Swamiji 161 Life History of H.H. Sri Swamiji 161 sgslh_raosyama Offline Send Email "Seeing the tail is like seeing the tiger" is a saying. Some people who believe in statements like that, spread the news that the entire city of Mysore was blacked out. Swamy was angry at this exaggeration of facts and said, "I do not touch any wires at all." The elder residents of the colony heaved a sigh of relief on hearing it from Swamy. They were frightened that their stupidity in testing Swamy would lead them to be prosecuted by the officials of the electricity board. Swamy had already said that it was his duty to save them. These events did upset Swamy a lot. He increased his tour programmes of visiting other places. Some days he spent his time in the prayer room of Nagappa's house. When he wanted to spend more time on meditation without being disturbed, he preferred to come to Nagappa's house. Nagappa and his wife Jayamma were always ready to receive Swamy at their house. Jayamma actually looked upon and treated Swamy as her own grandson. Swamy on his part walked around like their child in that house. He addressed Jayamma as "Amma, Amma". Nagappa's car was the disposal of Swamy and met all his travel needs. One or two other cars belonging to the other devotees were also available for the use of Swamy if needed. Nagappa's driver served Swamy with love and devotion. Sometimes Dwaraka would go in the middle of the night on his bike to Nagappa's house to get the car. The driver happily would get up and come to the ashrama and take Swamy wherever he wanted to go. One day there was a violin concert by the famous A.S.Shivarudrappa at Nagappa's house. Shivarudrappa was a great violinist, a scholar and had received honours at the place. He used to attract a number of fans at his concerts. He enjoyed playing for Swamy. That day both Swamy and Shivarudrappa was deeply immersed in the music. Few people sitting near the homa commented, "Who cares for these powers? It is only for the benefit of the rich. These are guises of cheats. (Meaning that the guises are to attract the money from the rich)". Swamy walked towards them angrily, and like a small child rolling his cheeks and lips made a funny noise and spat out a number of loose coins from his mouth. As they had considered Swamy as "Ashadabhootis", Swamy had decided to materialise only loose coins for them. The critics sat quiet and did not even apologise. Swamy went back to his seat. At the end of the homa the devotees came forward to receive the blessing of Swamy. The turn came for the critics to receive the blessings. Swamy stopped them and said, "Why do you want to fall at the feet of Ashadabhootis?" Those critics were sorry and fell at the feet of Swamy and begged to be excused. In view of the demand, the city transport authority had organised special bus services to the ashrama. On the days of sankeertanas, the programme would go late into the evening and the bus drivers waited patiently till the last of the passenger got on to the bus. There was no worry for the devotees about missing the last bus. The final stop of the bus to the ashrama came to be known as the "Swamy's ashrama stop.] An unusual event happened one Thursday. The bhajans finished at about 10pm. Swamy went inside to take rest. Prasadam was being distributed to the devotees. Some youngsters from the colony started a scuffle. The youngsters were complaining that the functions at the ashrama were disturbing this sleep. some devotees tried to object to the criticism by the lads and that ended up in the scuffle that night. Not wanting to see any harm come to Swamy, some of the devotees locked his room from outside. All the houses at the colony were of a stereotype; they did not have a backdoor. There was only one way in and out of the houses. The youngsters started shouting that Swamy was frightened of them and has decided to hide inside. Holding on to their batons and other tools, they started shouting and asking for Swamy to come out and face them. Swamy shouted and asked his devotees to open the door and let him out to face the youngsters. No one took notice of Swamy's request. Suddenly Swamy came out through the solid walls of the room shouting, "Who is the fool that is asking for me?" Hundreds of devotees witnessed this miracle. The youngsters got frightened and some even wet their trousers. Dropping their tools they ran away. Some of them asked Swamy for his forgiveness. The elders in the colony also asked forgiveness for the acts committed by the youngsters. Srikantiah begged Swamy to calm down and took him inside. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sacredlifeofswamiji/ This Yahoo group contains the complete story from the beginning . Satyam, or Satyanarayana referred to here was Sri Swamiji's name as a child. Later references to Swamy are to Him as well. It describes in detail

[FairfieldLife] Woman's Duty, Happiness and Power...was Men and women
Taken from the Book Sri Datta Darshanam. Jaya Guru Datta The most virtuous Anasuya Mata was the wife of Lord Brahma's mind born son, Saptarishi Atri. She was the 2nd daughter of Kardama Prajapati and Devahuti. Brahma's act of creating the human species continued ceaselessly; and has it continued people indulged in sense pleasure and vulgar enjoyments in the name of Grhastha Dharma. They ignored the need for contemplation and forgot the Soul. This caused Brahma deep anguish, and he reflected over it seriously. He came to the conclusion that the incarnation of a Saviour possessing immense moral and spiritual power would be the only solution to this problem. He performed the marriage of Anasuya with his own mind born son Atri, a peerless Brahmajnani. He commanded Atri to assist him in his work of creation according to Grhastha Dharma (householder). That excellent couple spent many thousands of celestial years as man and wife. Their wedded life was full of tapas, faultless, marvelous, unequalled and unsullied by lust. By the power of his tapas Maharishi Atri was able to receive the revelation of the 5th mandala of the Shakalya branch of the Rig Veda. That part of the Veda containing prayer to Agnilinga, and the topic of Amarendra which possesses the power of bestowing happiness both here and hereafter. During Krita Yuga when disease and sickness spread and the world of living beings was being destroyed, it was Maharishi Atri who obtained the vision of Ayurveda. At another time when people were feeling that the Dharma Shastra compied by Manu had become incomprehensible, Atri himself composed a Smrti in words beautiful, clear and easy to understand. When the demons captured the Sun and Moon plunging the whole world into utter darkness, it was Atri who was sought by the devatas. He himself assumed the form of the Sun and Moon and dispersed lighrt to the world. There is no comparison to the various miracles performed by Anasuya, with her exemplary chastity and sincere devotion to here husband. Once, due to scorching heat, the river Ganga dried up; and Anasuya brought the river back to life for the convenience of the munis. Another time the river Ganga lost its purity and had been turned black by the sinner's touch. Anasuya sprinkled water from her kamandalu and burnt away all the impurities of Ganga in an instant. Many such deeds she performed. It was through their intense tapas that the Trinity... Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva appeared at the same time and told them they would be born to them as their son who was Dattatreya. Anasuya was human, yet her chastity and fame was so great as to instill the jealousy of the three Goddesses, Lakshmi, Saraswati, and Parvati. (parts of story snipped) Anasuya was called upon to save the world when another chaste woman, Sumati kept the son from rising due to another curse on her husband, Kausika. Anasuya said this to Sumati: "For a virtuous and devoted wife, the company of her husband alone is all the world. His happiness is her happiness. His nearness alone gives meaning to her life. she has life so long as the husband is hale and hearty. Such a one is said to be a 'Pativrata'. "While a man cannot acquire merit without undergoing much suffering and without observing rituals, for us, dedicated service to our husbands is enough. That alone can easily give us all rewards." "For women there is no need for any other religious observances or disciplines. For a Woman her husband alone is God. Service to one's husband is worship to God. I have achieved great things through that alone." In Datta seva Sri Guru Datta Hanuman Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~--> Ever feel sad or cry for no reason at all? Depression.

Heh. Screening takes all forms. Few public charter schools are willing to deal with extreme special needs kids and the way Arizona law is set up, they don't have to. Aside from wheelchair access andthe like, charter schools aren't required to be equiped for arbitrary special needs because, by definition, charter schools are specializing in special needs already. Most private schools operate the same way: if your child doesn't fit the curriculum or facility, then they don't modify the curriculum or the facilities to accomidate the child -- the child has to go somewhere that DOES accomidate them. > Yahoo!

My first Japanese teacher is finishing up his doctorate in educational linguistics (my term). He's been doing research on interesting things like how native speakers move their eyes while reading their native language as opposed to secondary language speakers. Apparently there's a very striking difference that is quite consistent. His own comments in class,based on his years of study inthe field, about the utility of foreign language instruction outside a native- speaking country are very inline with what *I* have heard that MMY say about it. Ihaven't heard before that MMY says its not a good to learn a second laguage early on. In fact, given that most educated Indians are at least somewhat bilingual from exposure in school, including himself and apparently Gurudev, that would be rather silly. Yahoo!

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Yagna By Choice. It Works
Considering the track record of the MSAE, would you trust your children, if you had them, to the teachers there? Let's see...by now most of the decent teachers have long ago left, not willing to work for no pay, no benefits, and for an oftentimes capricious administration that routinely makes decisions that show a breath-taking lack of concern for anyone, including the kids. Now personally I can't imagine why anyone would object to those things, but there you have it. And the few halfway decent teachers that have remained teach the boys, since the education of girls apparently doesn't matter at all. This basically gives the parents of girls few options except to spend even more $$ and time hiring private tutors. And the parents kids with any kind of disability, be it learning, speech, behavior, etc are told to either stuff it or take care of it on their own, since, of course, children going to school in paradise don't have those issues.

[FairfieldLife] FW: News from India about Ayurveda
Title: FW: News from India about Ayurveda Source: BBC Wednesday, 7 December 2005, 13:22 GMT India hits back in 'bio-piracy' battle In a quiet government office in the Indian capital, Delhi, some 100 doctors are hunched over computers poring over ancient medical texts and keying in information. These doctors are practitioners of ayurveda, unani and siddha, ancient Indian medical systems that date back thousands of years. One of them is Jaya Saklani Kala, a young ayurveda doctor, who is wading through a dog-eared 500-year-old text book for information on a medicine derived from the mango fruit. "Soon the world will know the medicine, and the fact that it originated from India," she says. With help from software engineers and patent examiners, Ms Kala and her colleagues are putting together a 30-million-page electronic encyclopaedia of India's traditional medical knowledge, the first of its kind in the world. 'Bio-piracy' The ambitious $2m project, christened Traditional Knowledge Digital Library, will roll out an encyclopaedia of the country's traditional medicine in five languages - English, French, German, Japanese and Spanish - in an effort to stop people from claiming them as their own and patenting them. The electronic encyclopaedia, which will be made available next year, will contain information on the traditional medicines, including exhaustive references, photographs of the plants and scans from the original texts. Indian scientists say the country has been a victim of what they describe as "bio-piracy" for a long time. "When we put out this encyclopaedia in the public domain, no one will be able to claim that these medicines or therapies are their inventions. Till now, we have not done the needful to protect our traditional wealth," says Ajay Dua, a senior bureaucrat in the federal commerce ministry. Putting together the encyclopaedia is a daunting task. For one, ayurvedic texts are in Sanskrit and Hindi, unani texts are in Arabic and Persian and siddha material is in Tamil language. Material from these texts is being translated into five international languages, using sophisticated software coding. The sheer wealth of material that has to be read through for information is enormous - there are some 54 authoritative 'text books' on ayurveda alone, some thousands of years old. Then there are nearly 150,000 recorded ayurvedic, unani and siddha medicines; and some 1,500 asanas (physical exercises and postures) in yoga, which originated in India more than 5,000 years ago. Under normal circumstances, a patent application should always be rejected if there is prior existing knowledge about the product. But in most of the developed nations like United States, "prior existing knowledge" is only recognised if it is published in a journal or is available on a database - not if it has been passed down through generations of oral and folk traditions. The irony here is that India has suffered even though its traditional knowledge, as in China, has been documented extensively. But information about traditional medicine has never been culled from their texts, translated and put out in the public domain. Litigation No wonder then that India has been embroiled in some high-profile patent litigation in the past decade - the government spent some $6m alone in fighting legal battles against the patenting of turmeric and neem-based medicines. In 1995, the US Patent Office granted a patent on the wound-healing properties of turmeric. Indian scientists protested and fought a two-year-long legal battle to get the patent revoked. Last year, India won a 10-year-long battle at the European Patent Office against a patent granted on an anti-fungal product, derived from neem, by successfully arguing that the medicinal neem tree is part of traditional Indian knowledge. In 1998 the US Patent Office granted patent to a local company for new strains of rice similar to basmati, which has been grown for centuries in the Himalayan foothills of north-west India and Pakistan and has become popular internationally. After a prolonged legal battle, the patent was revoked four years ago. And, in the US, an expatriate Indian yoga teacher has claimed copyright on a sequence of 36 yoga asanas, or postures. Dr Vinod Kumar Gupta, who is leading the traditional wealth encyclopaedia project and heads India's National Institute of Science Communication and Information Resources (Niscair), reckons that of the nearly 5,000 patents given out by the US Patent Office on various medical plants by the year 2000, some 80% were plants of Indian origin. Practitioners of traditional medicines say their importance cannot be denied - according to the WHO, 70% of the people living in India use traditional medicine for primary health care. Also, some 42% of the people living in the US and 70% of the people living in Canada have used traditional medicines at least once for treatment. By one estimate, a quarter of the new dru

Here we go with another paradox. Once the illusion of seperation is largely dispelled as a result of identification with the Self, there really is no individual vs collective consciousness. So we act walk and talk like individuals, and operate as such because we each have our own physical bodies, and it is the practical material thing to do, but it is upon closer examination, not ultimately real. As an experiment, when we close our eyes, we expand to Infinity through silence, and when we open our eyes, we also expand to Infinity through the action of the senses. In both directions and in both cases, infinity is the end result. So there may appear to be a surface construct of individual vs collective consciousness, but the reality is forever a union of the two, a oneness, a singularity, where the actual boundary between 'me' and 'you' cannot be located.

Sure, obviously it's an individual decision whether you want to worry about it on the basis of something MMY has said. I'm not advocating either way, and for all I know MMY could be completely wrong about it. I'm just saying that on the basis of what very little we know, it's not impossible that something could get screwed up on a very subtle level that would have some negative impact on grosser levels without the person necessarily being able to make the connection, or even realizing there had *been* a screwup. And if so, it might be something you'd want to avoid if you could, even if it did mean sacrificing some degree of ease of learning a second language as a tradeoff. Again, all I'm saying is that we can't rule this possibility out without knowing more about what MMY means. I'm not suggesting anybody even worry about it if they don't feel it's worth it. Just pointing out that the original conclusion that MMY can't be trusted with children's education in this regard isn't warranted on the basis of what information we have. There's just this knee-jerk kind of reaction that many here have, that if something MMY says doesn't immediately make perfect sense to us on its face, therefore it must be crazy and wrong. Maybe it is and maybe it isn't, but often the assumption is made on a very superficial basis. That's really all I'm getting at.

I mean no disrespect to him or to you, but if it is that subtle, from a practical standpoint, who cares? My benchmark for such things even as a child has been if it is creating undue strain, don't bother. On the other hand, if something seems readily available, take advantage of it... Reminds me of a larger issue, sort of related to the emotional healing vs TM discussion. After I had been meditating for awhile and been exposed to all of the esoteric Indian stuff and tried some of it on for size, I realized that as a person of the world, with a finite amount of time to devote to spiritual practice, I had to use common sense in what I adopted vs not. This then led to a growing sense of freedom that it was I who was most interested in enlightening myself, vs blindly accepting and following the precepts of the saints. It eventually made for a much more interesting journey, being empowered to deliberately choose from a menu of thought and practice what best suited my personal spiritual development. > Until we have a clearer idea, it makes no sense to > assume he's contradicting established scientific > fact. > Yahoo!

The question in my mind is whether the confusion MMY is talking about is on such a subtle level that you *wouldn't* detect it as such--the point being that we really don't know what he's referring to. Until we have a clearer idea, it makes no sense to assume he's contradicting established scientific fact. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~--> Need Help? Get Help!

How odd, you seem to have deleted what I went on to say, which made it clear I wasn't questioning the accepted scientific fact. I'm sure it was inadvertent. You read the first paragraph of my response, jumped to the erroneous conclusion that I was disputing the science, and decided the rest of what I said must be more of the same and could therefore be ignored. Here, let me give you another chance to read what you snipped, so you can take a stab at making a relevant response: The "subtle confusion" LBS refers to isn't necessarily in conflict with the principle that the younger the better in terms of second-language acquisition. The purported confusion may be on an entirely different level than that of facility in a second language. It isn't impossible that the optimal situation, in MMY's view, is a sort of trade-off between acquiring second-language facility and avoiding the subtle confusion. In other words, an older child may still be able to learn a second language well enough to become reasonably fluent in it at a point when learning it may no longer cause the subtle confusion. Or maybe not. But obviously we don't know enough, on the basis of LBS's account, to say either way. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~--> Drugs Don't Discriminate.

And from what I've read of Ben's posts, and as a lawyer (albeit one who doesn't get $50k retainers), I don't see how you'd make a case. Your suit would likely be considered frivolous. Perhaps the people who have hurt you in your life did so because they were radiating the hurt and ignorance in their own. To whatever degree that is true, it certainly doesn't minimize or mitigate the pain and suffering that you have endured and continue to wrestle with. But the expansion of misery and suffering to others can't diminish or resolve your own. I'm sure you know that. Why not use your legal fund to establish some foundation or project that serves to alleviate suffering rather than increase it. If Ben is the scoundrel you know him to be, why not let him reap the consequences of his behavior without enmeshing you in it, too? If Nature is due to deliver Ben the consequences of his bad karma you don't have to volunteer to be the carrier of that karmic delivery. That's just a response to what you've written and, as you know from a previous post of mine, I do not share your opinion of Ben. But, then perhaps you know more of him than I. Or perhaps you're wrong in your evaluation of his character. I don't know all the details (not do I think it's necessary that I need to); but solely as a human being who cares about others and prefers to see the expansion of happiness rather than the converse, I'd ask you to consider this response to your posting as a sincere and candid reaction from your environment to what you are projecting into it.

I will say again that I thought it was a brave thing for Tom to openly post details of his childhood trauma. Such an action can sometimes be helpful for empowerment and to destigmatize victimizing event. However, instead of then taking a breath of fresh air and getting on with life, he squanders his equity by trashing others.

Even if it's true as stated by LBS, to decide not to trust one's children to MMY because his "theories" are not the same as those of someone who has a master's in infant development is a knee-jerk, thoughtless conclusion. It really has nothing to do with a degree or any reaction but that this an accepted scientific fact.Take it or leave it, it doesn't really matter to me.On a separate note I do know a number of yogis who used sadhana to help with knowledge acquisition and retention, often with great effect. Typically sadhanas of Jupiterian deities are of wonderful assistance. Now with growing recognition of neuroplasticity and the fact that the neural hardware tends to morph itself to the consciousness of the person--old neural pathways are not written in stone. This is wonderful news for education, recovery from abuse/addictions or criminal rehabilitation. Reminds me of a movie where criminals were put in suspended animation instead of jail and their neural-pathways "retrained" using computers linked the body-hardware (i.e. the brain/nervous system).

Even if it's true as stated by LBS, to decide not to trust one's children to MMY because his "theories" are not the same as those of someone who has a master's in infant development is a knee-jerk, thoughtless conclusion. The "subtle confusion" LBS refers to isn't necessarily in conflict with the principle that the younger the better in terms of second-language acquisition. The purported confusion may be on an entirely different level than that of facility in a second language. It isn't impossible that the optimal situation, in MMY's view, is a sort of trade-off between acquiring second-language facility and avoiding the subtle confusion. In other words, an older child may still be able to learn a second language well enough to become reasonably fluent in it at a point when learning it may no longer cause the subtle confusion. Or maybe not. But obviously we don't know enough, on the basis of LBS's account, to say either way. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~--> Dying to be thin? Anorexia.

aNimaa is one of the eight mahaa-siddhis:
1 aNiman %{a} m. (fr. %{aNu} q.v.) , minuteness , fineness , thinness
S3Br. &c. ; meagreness ; atomic nature , the superhuman power of
becoming as small as an atom , (%{a4Niman}) n. the smallest particle
S3Br.
(the form "aNiman" is the inflectional stem of the word
whose nominative singular is "aNimaa"; it's derived
from the noun "aNu" which means e.g. 'atom'.)

[FairfieldLife] YF, etc, and mantras?
The third sentence(?) of BaadaraayaNa's (?aka Veda-vyaasa's, KRSNa
Dvaipaayana's, who is thought to be the author of Vedaanta-suutras aka
Brahma-suutras aka Shaariiraka-suutras) commentary on YS IV 1 goes
like this:
mantrairaakaashagamanaaNimaadilaabhaH
without sandhi prolly like this:
mantraiH; aakaasha-gamana; aNimaa-aadi -laabhaH
mantraiH by (or whatever is the most best
preposition hereabouts) mantras
akaasha-gamana space-going (yogic flying)
aNimaadi (aNimaa-aadi) aNimaa, etc: the eight
mahaa-siddhis (aNimaa, mahimaa, garimaa, laghimaa...)
laabhaH achievement (~they [YF and the 8] are achieved)
It's interesting that BaadaraayaNa, the author
of Vedaanta-suutras ("etena yogaH pratyuktaH", [by this
{paatañjala-}yoga is refuted]) specifically mentions
YF here.
Ouch, I'm running out, or stuff, of brackets... :0

Everybody is sorry that some really nasty shit happened to you growing up, but to play it over and over again in order to justify your rage towards others is getting very old, very quickly. And these inferences you come up with from others' posts that you turn into statements that you then claim they made against you is asinine. Butch up, man.

Ever heard of a repetition compulsion? You interact with people to draw out their ire and then you scream "Foul! Unfair! Look how horrible people are towards me! I was abused!" You really need help. You don't need to act-out your rage in a newsgroup. Good bye. Go. Leave. Nobody cares anymore. Go crap on somebody else. We're no longer interested. Have someone else change your dirty diaper. Pathetic. Are you happy now that I've posted this? Isn't a post such as this exactly what you want so you can now pout and become outraged against the injustice of these comments?

[FairfieldLife] Zen Cartoon
When I was in Santa Fe, a friend who once spent a year studying in a Zen monastery in Kyoto showed me this classic Gahan Wilson cartoon. It's funny, but it's also just Right On, so I thought I'd share it. If you're a member of FFL, this link should work for you: http://tinyurl.com/by2xv It's at the base level of the Photos section; if Rick feels the need to delete it or move it in the future, that's fine.

No, exactly backwards. As you keep saying, you might learn to read. I was suggesting that *you* are dependent on the people whom you feel agree with you. I was sug- gesting that (IMO, of course) it seems to give you some feeling of comfort to know that people agree with you or that you have been successful in convincing them that you are right, and when that happens, you form a protective relationship with them, compulsively rushing in to "protect" them whenever they get into a challenging discussion. I could be wrong about this, but it's my honest opinion after watching your behavior for years. Lawson does NOT need your "protection." He has neither asked for it nor does he seem to welcome it. But you seem compelled to provide it. *That* is the 'dependency' I was speaking of. It's all from your side. Clear now? But I owe you an apology for bringing all this up again, and you have it -- I apologize. You are who you are, and that's OK. I really *am* tired of all this circular sniping with you, Judy. It's boring and unproductive. What's brought me to this realization is the discovery yesterday that my brother seems to have done a Dennis Miller and become a Born Again Conservative, compelled to overreact whenever anyone pushes his "America is a great place" buttons by questioning that myth, and equally compelled to try to convince the offending parties that they are WRONG and that he is RIGHT. It's downright embarrassing. It's like discovering that you have Bill O'Reilly for a brother. :-) And it's made me realize that what I really enjoy on Internet discussion groups like this one is interactions with people who are comfortable with believing what they believe, and equally comfortable with other people believing what *they* believe, even if it's the polar opposite. There are such people here at FFL, and I treasure them. Rick has created a great forum, one in which one can (theoretically) exchange points of view and learn from the differences between those points of view, without the need to butt heads to establish dominance or prove one point of view "better" than another. I really don't believe that my point of view is "right." It's just my point of view. It changes daily, if not more often. If your point of view or someone else's differs from mine, I think that's OK, and I'm going to try my best to not get involved in discussions that seem to be oriented towards proving the superiority of one point of view and the inferiority of the other. That strikes me as terribly lowvibe and not worthy of someone who has spent as long on a spiritual path as I have or as you have. If you still get off on such things, I wish you well with it, but I really don't want to get involved any more. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~--> Ever feel sad or cry for no reason at all? Depression.

He's forever damned because his emotional development was arrested at the time of abuse. Funny the real Dr.s who treated Tom didn't feel that way. They felt no need to teach Tom how to act or encourage him to grow. They watched it happen before their eyes and took notes. They felt that merely freeing the pain brought forth the true, loving, secure Tom. With other patients these very Drs. taught their patients what they had failed to develop. Yahoo!

Actually, he's full of shake and quake but is very sensitive to slights, as he was trained like Pavlov's dogs to equate the slightest displeasure of someone with him as another night he has to worry about being murdered or thrown out in the snow shoeless and naked to spend the night shivering in what little pile of leaves he could find. Hopefully God was good that night and he was able to get some rest for school the next day. That sensitiveness to slights makes him feel differently about Ben saying he was happy everybody enjoyed their special coins or amulets when he didn't receive anything. It's true Tom told Ben after a few years that he wasn't that excited about receiving sacred ash, but Ben's mamory is ever convenient to cover up his own failings. Ben does appear to suffer from attention and memory deficit. Tom lives in a world in which a man's word is his bond, else he's fired an hour after he fails to deliver. Tom truly believes Ben is just another one of those space cadets who's quite suited to the SoCal "let's have lunch" mentality. Tom is not all hate. There are a lot of flakey people in the world and there are a lot of vicious people in the world, "Dr." Pete and Dr. Lechter being two of them. Tom might have asked for it, but that doesn't mean it's got to run the gauntlet and then have the person he least honors for truth and reliability after having dealt with him for years, the Pundit in training, to pick up on "Dr." Pete's damnation of him with "just look at his chracter. search the archives." as a way to cover up his own failing and child abuse issues. Tom has arranged for a $50,000 legal retainer to sue Ben the lier. If Ben posts a fully apologitic statement in which he admits in every line that he, and not Tom was wrong and he apologizes for wrongfully accusing Tom for it in an unambiguous, convincing, non-finger pointing way, the suit will not be filed. Any hint that he's being insincere and Tom will see Ben in Court. If Ben posts anything to Fairfield life on any subject becept a convincing apology and agreement that he is a flake, the lawsuit against Ben will be filed and a few days later Ben will receive his subpoena. Tom doesn't want to stiffle Ben's freedom of speach. But he doesn't want to read the words of a lier who reprements himself as totally innocent of any wrong doing. The lawyers will prove otherwise. Tom has more money set aside for more prosecuition, counter suits and to fight malicious, frivilous law suits against him. He's also got every email Ben ever sent to him, notes of every phone conversation, every email he ever sent to Ben or others about Ben. Some of it will curl your hair. Joining YBC is the best thing Tom ever did. It's been a week now he's been doing full TM/TM Sidhi Program. The consciousness flows through him now and he feels full of spunk and hope and optimism as he did 14 years ago when he was last able to do full program off a course. The infusion of consciousness makes former perceived slights not. It makes frustrations in traffic not. It makes the feeling of being helplessly stuck in the muck and mire not. It makes formely overwhelming terror and panic which drove him to the bottle of Dr.s' prescripions flow through and out of him. Tom has lead a moderately successful life here and there, clearing a quarter million a year here, being an National Merit there, branch manager of a control systems vendor resident at Bechtel in SF with an annual 1/4 $billion annual budged there, being born conscious and remembering his past there. "Interesting Man that Tom" is not only truer than you imagine, its truer than you can imagine. Richard Nixon opened us to Mainland China, but took Dilantin for his depression, did some really petty shit and resigned as the articles of impeachment were being drawn up. Abraham Lincoln and his life believed in dreams and wrote every one down. They had sayances performed in the White House regularly and Lincoln timed has actions based on the feedback he got through his secretary from a noted psychic. Lincoln told his cabinet the day before that night about the very disturbing dream where we woke up and heard wailing. He walked into a hall and there was a large man laid out in a coffin. He asked an overcome woman who was laid out in the coffin. The woman told him it was the President. Lincoln campaigned to have That Pecular Instituion undone but also put his power behind the establishment

I have heard that he thinks the only way to acquire a second language completely is to live in a country where it is spoken natively.

Genetics can breed for faux signals. You can have women (or men) who
aren't worth a darn in or out of bed, have no concept of how to raise
a child, etc., but their overall appearance and demeaner triggers
mating instincts in many people just by some combination of
features/qualities that fit the inbred pattern recognition for
mates. Of course, people are more complicated than crabs, so not
everyone is triggered by the giant claw, or whatever, but the
principle is still applies in virtually everyone, to some extent:
there's someone out there whom, if you meet them, you WILL make a
fool of yourself.
