You were overly receptive to seeing the machinations of the TM movement in a different light. So the folks from the New Inquisition got panicky and had to start posting compulsively here to let you know that you're under scrutiny and how your statements would be viewed by the TM authorities and that you should be afraid. At least that's probably what they tell themselves. I think it's *them* who are afraid, but that's just me...

It's interesting to read the user reviews on Amazon of Nanda's major book, Prophets Looking Backward, which deals with the same topic as this essay. Of eleven reviews, five give it five stars and six give it one star (one of these is headed, Because I could not give it a zero!). The negative reviews complain that Nanda's scholarship is seriously deficient with regard to the primary Vedic texts and what is actually proposed by proponents of Vedic science (generic, not MMY's per se), and that her argument is therefore against a straw man. A representative negative review: Falls flat, January 27, 2004 Reviewer: A customer from Concord I was eager to read this book after I saw the author's summary of her argument in Frontline. But I was disappointed in how she develops her case. Apparently, she does not possess adequate knowledge of the Indian scientific literature, and she relies on summaries of it which are out of date or have been refuted. This is one of the three legs of the stool, and as it falls, the general argument becomes invalid. Nevertheless, the question of how Hindutva groups use modern science for a variety of political purposes is most interesting. If only it was examined by a scholar who knew the Indian science part of the evidence. And a representative positive review (note the title!): Don't listen to the naysayers, May 27, 2004 Reviewer: Amardeep Singh from New Haven, CT United States This is a much-needed argument, and excellent research. Nanda levels a devastating attack on the pseudo-science of the Hindu right. She also suggests that a wooly postmodernism in science studies and cultural studies are at best incapable of defending against Hindutva's form of anti-modern 'hybridity'. At worst, postmodernism is a direct asset to the ideology of Hindu nationalism. Some of Nanda's points may be arguable, but this book is clearly written and well-researched. The arguments are forcefully presented and highly accessible. Academics and non-academics alike will be challenged by her points even if they disagree with her. http://tinyurl.com/n7btw To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'

The negative reviews complain that Nanda's scholarship is seriously deficient with regard to the primary Vedic texts and what is actually proposed by proponents of Vedic science (generic, not MMY's per se), and that her argument is therefore against a straw man. Yeah I saw that. Amazon's rating system is notoriously manipulated to people who want to trash books, which in some cases they've not even read. One wonders if these are TMO fundies or other Neo-Hindu adherents chiming in. I'd bet money they are. The fact that vedic creationism is part of the Indian religious right, and esp. since many (if not not most) TMers would probably be part of the religious or agnostic left, seems to be a hard pill for many of them to swallow...bizarre since the American equivalent (the American religious right) are often counterpoised to the New Age cults like the TMO. Who would've guessed that these two generally counterpoised groups would both have arisen from the common ground of religious fundamentalism and patriotic nationalism.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: excommunication.
Except someone that tightly wound doesn't see things clearly, he sees through the prism of his anger or stress. Name-calling, accusatory language, gross disrespect for the feelings of others--all signs of very unhealthy mentality, whatever the intellect may be. Of course that would be uncomfortable, how could it not. Actions like that basically just perpetuate themselves, and until Bob (or whoever else engages in them) is willing to take a long look in the mirror--as we all should do--and at least attempt to develop some basic skills for getting along with others, it's unlikely to stop.

It's others' job to feed, cloth, house, them, etc. From that perspective, your money gets the most leverage if is donated to the TMO, and not to charitable organizations. And if that makes sense to you, then give your money and time to the TMO, by all means. But as I said, nothing is *stopping* the individual TMer from working for or donating to a non-TMO charity. What you go on to say is a different issue, or set of issues. It doesn't address your initial demand that the TMO's charitable works be cited in comparison to Amma's, or Shemp's response that the two organizations have different goals. If you want to ask how well Amma's group has fulfilled its stated goal versus how well the TMO has fulfilled its stated goal, that's a reasonable question. Demanding that the TMO match Amma's charitable works or be considered a failure, in contrast, makes no sense at all. Points well taken. Perhaps what I'm trying to say is that if Maharishi had put greater emphasis on compassion and caring for people it would have helped the evolution of the individuals in the movement, as well as helping the whole organization fulfill its goals. As it is, the movement is now perceived by many as being all about money. MMY has always insisted that one should practice the religion of one's heritage. Virtually every religion emphasizes compassion and caring for people and provides opportunities for its followers to practice these values. Given this, MMY seems to feel that for the TMO to adopt this kind of emphasis would be a duplication of effort, whereas TM provides something most religions do not, i.e., a means to strengthen and universalize the ability to be compassionate on the relative level, which can then be implemented through the institutions whose purpose is caring for people on this level. As we've all seen, the fruit of this approach does not appear to be manifesting itself in the way the TMO goes about achieving its own goals, at least as far as we can tell. (It's not impossible, although it does seem unlikely at this point, that the trickle-down approach will be successful in the long run.) But the folks working for the TMO are a relatively small percentage of those who practice TM. It would be interesting to know whether it manifests itself in the lives of the TMers who are not associated with the TMO.

Title: Get Well Card for Tom Shirah Dear Friends of Tom Shirah, You may have head the news that Tom Shirah is in the hospital. Tom is being seriously challenged with what looks to be cancer. He was rushed to the hospital a few days ago and is being treated by a team of specialists. They are doing tests on him everyday and are still in the process of coming up with a complete prognosis and game plan. Email me if you want more details on this, but suffice to say that Tom is facing a serious battle. Friends and family are there with him every day. I spoke to Tom yesterday and his spirits are good. I asked if he would like to receive well wishes from friends, and he said that yes, he really appreciates that and commented that it really helps him to receive support and encouragement from his friends. So please, take a few moments from your busy life, and wish Tom well. It will really lift his spirits to hear from you. Please go to this link and sign his card. Even something brief and simple will be appreciated: http://www.circledigital.com/Tom/ While you are there you can view some pictures. If you have any pictures that you would like me to post, please send them and I will put them on the site. There is wireless internet connection at the hospital so Tom will be able to read your messages. Please pass this email on to any of your friends who know Tom. We want to shower him with our love and support.

There is in Hagelin's original work to make Flipped SU(5) more vedic and in his relatively more recent work with MMY that examined what Hagelin termed uncanny (or similar term) parallels at ALL levels between the QM description of the world and the vedic. Of course Christian Creation theory enthusiasts also love to draw parallels between Quantum physics and their beliefs. So both the TM mythos and Creation science draw similar analogies to push (or sell) their ideas--now that's a parallel that's interesting! Which Christian Creation theory enthsiasts have/had an international reputation as a quantum field theorist? I don't know, which ones? Given your attempts to draw parallels between Hagelin and the Christian Creationists, it wasn't completely silly to assume that you had someone in mind. On the other hand, given that it is YOU talking, I freely admit that I was asking a rhetorical question: I was pretty certain that you had no idea what you were talking about, and I was right. Is this part of your 'Hagelin was a great theorist once-upon-a-time before he sold out' spiel? Not sold out, merely decided to head in other directions, and yes, he was a great theorist. His current theories are a tad too far outside the mainstream to be taken seriously by anyone outside the TMO, but to imply that he didn't have an international reputation as a leading field theorist is showing vast ignorance. Of course he did win an Ig Nobel prize for his work in pseudo-science (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ig_Nobel_Prize_winners ). I'm surprised that more TM researchers haven't been awarded this honor. Yer just silly. In other words Vedic creation science and Christian Creation science share this same basis. Go figure. Pushing/promoting one's belief-system on/to others is a universal human activity, I agree.

[FairfieldLife] Jonathan Schwamm's Progress
Title: Jonathan Schwamm's Progress From: Anne Marie mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Undisclosed-Recipient:;@kelvin.pobox.com mailto:Undisclosed-Recipient:;@kelvin.pobox.com Sent: Sunday, May 21, 2006 9:28 PM Subject: Jonathan's progress Dear Everyone, Jonathan is improving. By Friday afternoon the hospital had managed to get Jonathan's heart rate stabalized by heavily sedating him. His heart was racing at 190 beats per minute. He was unconscious all of Friday due to the sedation and also had to be put on a respirator to breathe. Saturday morning they took him off the sedation and his heart has remained stable since. He is now awake, off the respirator since this morning (Sunday) and can talk a little bit. But he is exhausted and has no memory of what happened since he arrived at the hospital. The doctors are still trying to find the cause of his problem, basically they are baffled. What seemed to happen is that the ventrical (lower) part of his heart was taking over the job of sending the impulses to cause the heart to contract and pump - but normally it is the atrium part of the heart (upper) that does this job. The impulses coming out of his ventrical were wild and erratic. Also, part of his heart has taken on an extra electrical pattern and can kind of take over - sending out more impulses causing the heart to race. Again, they have no idea why this happens. They feel it is not a complication of his heart operation a few months back where he had a Mitral Valve Repair. When he arrived in the hospital he was very low in minerals and was basically in acidosis. At one point on Friday morning his heart actally stopped and it took them 12 times with electroshock to get him back. It seems Friday was the most critical time for him and we feel that Jonathan was able to turn the corner due to all of your attention, love, support, and healing prayers which was deeply felt. Anne Marie wants you all to know how thankful she is, and how it really soothed her spirits as she was trying to get back to the U.S As she was travelling she fell into a state of deep trust knowing that Jonathan was being cared for energetically by all of their dear friends. It was very soothing to her heart - especially since she was not able to be with him. (She arrived in the hospital last night around 9:00.) As it stands now, the doctors have three solutions - 2 of which would involve an operation and 1 would involve medication. They need to get him stronger and wait and see before they and Jonathan decide which route to take. In the meantime, any healing energy and love we can continue to send his way, will be greatly appreciated.

[FairfieldLife] Poster genders
Sometimes the moniker or name used by posters on this forum are ambiguous as to what their gender is. I suppose it shouldn't be important -- you know, judge a man by the content of his character and not by the color of his skin and all that -- but nevertheless I am interested. For example, is the Sal in Sal Sunshine short for Salvatore or Sally. At first I thought it was Salvatore and was a male but later I think there was indication it was a Sally. And how about blissbunn1? Certainly, that's got to be a female, right?

Just a thought: When a person sees someone or something very important to them constantly rather cruelly and thoughtlessly mocked and demeaned, it does hurt them right in the heart. How they respond to that pain is another issue, but it doesn't really make sense to suggest that their heart isn't open.

In fact, Wal-Mart recently announced that they were going to provide an organic food section in their stores.

It's interesting to read the user reviews on Amazon of Nanda's major book, Prophets Looking Backward, which deals with the same topic as this essay. Of eleven reviews, five give it five stars and six give it one star (one of these is headed, Because I could not give it a zero!). The negative reviews complain that Nanda's scholarship is seriously deficient with regard to the primary Vedic texts and what is actually proposed by proponents of Vedic science (generic, not MMY's per se), and that her argument is therefore against a straw man. Yeah I saw that. Amazon's rating system is notoriously manipulated to people who want to trash books, which in some cases they've not even read. Manipulated how, and by whom? Seems unlikely that Amazon itself would do this, given that books that are well reviewed are probably going to sell more copies. Typically when there's a coordinated attack on a book, the critics far outnumber those who liked it, and many of the negative reviews show little thought. In this case the relatively small number of reviews is evenly divided, and the negative ones are generally more thoughtful, citing very specific problems with the book. The positive reviews are less analytical and appear to be written by people who expected to find reinforcement for views they'd already arrived at. (The title of the first one, Don't listen to the naysayers, is telling.) In this case it appears that all the naysayers have indeed read the book. One wonders if these are TMO fundies or other Neo-Hindu adherents chiming in. I'd bet money they are. The negative reviews show no evidence of either that I can see. *Possibly* the very last one, but I don't see any hints at all in the others. The fact that vedic creationism is part of the Indian religious right, and esp. since many (if not not most) TMers would probably be part of the religious or agnostic left, seems to be a hard pill for many of them to swallow...bizarre since the American equivalent (the American religious right) are often counterpoised to the New Age cults like the TMO. Who would've guessed that these two generally counterpoised groups would both have arisen from the common ground of religious fundamentalism and patriotic nationalism. I disagree that TMers who find Vedic science meaningful can be called religious fundamentalists on that basis. That's just silly. The big problem, of course, with the attempt to integrate or reconcile spiritual systems with science, especially ancient spiritual systems, is that very few people are expert in both, and therefore few on either side are qualified to evaluate the attempts.

I feel a little bad about the whole thing because I was the one who announced that it had been deleted; I had gone back to check the context and found it was gone.

That doesn't appear to be the case with Nanda's book, either pro or con, as I've already pointed out, so I'm not sure what the relevance is here. The point is that she doesn't seem to have the requisite credentials to trash Vedic science. And the positive reviewers don't give any indication of any knowledge of Vedic science beyond what they read in her book; they just assumed she knew what she was talking about, swallowed it whole, and gave their stamp of approval to her thorough annihilation of a straw man.

[FairfieldLife] Organic Farming trade-off: who decides which 2 billion die?
The following is from the article Paradise sold in the May 15, 2006 edition of The New Yorker. It is a review of three books on the phenomenon of the growth of the organic foods industry in the U.S.: Pollan (one of the authors of one of the books reviewed) seems aware of the contradictions entailed in trying to eat in this rigorously ethical spirit, but he doesn't give much space to the most urgent moral problem with the organic ideal: how to feed the world's population. At the beginning of the twentieth century, there was a serious scare about an imminent Malthusian crisis: the world's rapidly expanding population was coming up against the limits of agricultural productivity. The Haber-Bosch process (the first instance of being able to economically process synthetic fertilizer from ammonia) averted disaster, and was largely responsible for a fourfold increase in the world's food supply during the twentieth centur. Earl Butz, Nixon's Secretary of Agriculture, was despised by organic farmers, but he might not have been wrong when he said, in 1971, that if American returned to organic methods 'someone must decide which fifty million of our people will starve!'. According to a more recent estimate, if synthetic fertilizers suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth, about two billion people would perish.

The problem there is that Wal-Mart actively negotiates their costs with suppliers DOWN every year. As I understand it, Wal-Mart attempts to get their suppliers to bring their prices on supplies to them down by about 5% every year, which they then pass on to consumers. Many economists have said that Wal-Mart's policy in this area is almost singularly responsible for the very low inflation rate in the USA over the past 15 years. Negotiating with the TMO over prices? Can you imagine being a fly on the wall over those negotiations? Wal-Mart: TMO, now that we're carrying your MAPI products in all of our stores throughout the world, your products are accessible to over 2 billion people. We'd like you to see what you can do to bring down the costs of your supplies...economies of scale and all that. TMO: Sorry, Wal-Mart, we have a strict 1,500% mark-up on our MAPI products. For example, on our 8 oz. Vata Churna product, it costs us about 34 cents for the spices we put into it. Add on another 20 cents per unit for packaging, labor and overhead and you're talking a whopping 54 cents cost to us for each one. Now we sell each unit for $15.95. We're selling each unit to Wal-Mar for $10.00...tell us how we're supposed to make money if we bring our cost to you down!

[FairfieldLife] Robert Plant
For Led Zep fans, from someone on the Amma chat: Robert Plant is an old acquaintance of mine. He is a very sweet, humble and intensely spiritual guy...which is hard to believe considering the level of celebrity. A lot of the songs he wrote back then were divinely inspired, especially Stairway To Heaven. He has said that it was written under automatic writing. He sort of blacked out and woke up and the song was there. Lots of great metaphor for the journey in that song, if you pay attention to the lyrics. He was married to an Indian woman for a period of time and immersed himself deeply in Hindu spirituality in the 1970's. I plan to give him a book of Amma's next time I see him! I think he needs to have darshan :) To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'

This line is from Goodfellas and is what Billy Batts (played by Frank Vincent) says to Tommy De Vito (Joe Pesci) during their confrontation at Henry Hill's (Ray Liotta) bar. Batts had just come out of prison and was breaking Tommy's balls by reminding him that he had come a long way from when he was a kid and used to shine shoes. Tommy didn't like Batts' tone and told him so. Batts protested that he was only kidding but when push came to shove, he got nasty and told Tommy to go home and get your fucking shine box. Of course, Tommy came back later and whacked Batts. I wrote the shine box line in response to Judy's repeated insult because that is how Judy came across to me: a confrontational bully who is always looking for a fight...even when there is no reason for a fight. So that is my new nickname for Judy: Billie Batts. My concession to her is that I have feminized Billy to Billie.

I was going to announce it here when it was actually available, but I guess a little preview wouldn't hurt. It would certainly appeal to people on FFL. It is called Murphy's Laws of the Inner Life. If I weren't targeting a larger demographic, I could have called it Confessions of an MUM Faculty Member. Hear is the blurb from the back cover: In his 40-year quest for truth and inner peace, Michael Murphy ranges from a Roman Catholic seminary in New York to a Shiva temple in southern India. He rises to a respected position in an international meditation organization while living a double life in which he explores numerous other teachers and paths. His odyssey takes him to the Swiss Alps for training under a famous guru. He travels to a hilltop on the Pacific coast where his spirit guides help him discover his true calling. At the foot of a holy mountain in the Rockies, a platinum blond from Mississippi shows him the way to freedom from the prison of his mind. Finally, on a pilgrimage to sacred Arunachala in India, he stumbles upon a portal to the abode of joy. Through it all he struggles with one of the greatest tests (and teachers) on the path of the seeker: living in intimate relationship with another human being. But, this book is more than a spiritual memoir. In writing it Murphy, who has taught writing for a decade, explores a new method for using writing itself as a technique for self-discovery. He details this technique in his introduction and offers the rest of the book as a model for those who wish to uncover their own deepest truth through the writing process.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Organic Farming trade-off: who decides which 2 billion die?
--- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, shempmcgurk [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The following is from the article Paradise sold in the May 15, 2006 edition of The New Yorker. It is a review of three books on the phenomenon of the growth of the organic foods industry in the U.S.: Pollan (one of the authors of one of the books reviewed) seems aware of the contradictions entailed in trying to eat in this rigorously ethical spirit, but he doesn't give much space to the most urgent moral problem with the organic ideal: how to feed the world's population. At the beginning of the twentieth century, there was a serious scare about an imminent Malthusian crisis: the world's rapidly expanding population was coming up against the limits of agricultural productivity. The Haber-Bosch process (the first instance of being able to economically process synthetic fertilizer from ammonia) averted disaster, and was largely responsible for a fourfold increase in the world's food supply during the twentieth centur. Earl Butz, Nixon's Secretary of Agriculture, was despised by organic farmers, but he might not have been wrong when he said, in 1971, that if American returned to organic methods 'someone must decide which fifty million of our people will starve!'. According to a more recent estimate, if synthetic fertilizers suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth, about two billion people would perish. +++ Synthetic fertilizer is big business and, as such doesn't have to be useful. Millions are starving anyway and, fertilizer isn't the issue. N. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
