 RICK, I want a vote from FFL members to remove this Nazi from FFL
 
 He should not be a moderator. He is a Nazi chickenshit manipulator 
 of FFL. 
 GET THE FUCK OFF FFL Nazi !
 
 I don't think either of you should be removed. You've both been 
around for
 years and have both been valuable contributors. I think you're just
 experiencing how people react when you (or anyone) insults them with
 demeaning terms, such as moron (or worse), rather than engaging in
 intelligent dialog. I think GF overreacted and shouldn't have 
removed you. I
 also think you shouldn't have called him a moron. Nabby called 
me trash
 this morning,

Would White Trash be a more fitting description for someone who 
routinely is spreading viscious rumours ?

 but I wasn't inclined to remove him. I smiled at the irony of
 someone who regards himself as more spiritually advanced than the 
rest of us

I don't.

 resorting to childish insults rather than responding to a 
straightforward
 question. 

I did but you did not pay attention. Instead you ignited your friend, 
the socalled Dr. petersupthen to give anal descriptions about 
someone he has never met.

That's a common pattern with him. in fact, I would suggest than
 anyone who resorts to profanity and insult has lost the debate at 
hand.

Yes that is a fitting description for yourself who is spreading 
poisenous rumours about others.


 Their intellect has punked out and they've reverted to childish 
tantrums.
 Unsubscribing someone for behaving that way might also been seen as 
childish
 – a sort of I'm taking my football and going home reaction.
 
 Reapply under your usual handle if you want to and I'll reinstate 
you. But
 please consider what I stated above.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Hello from India

2007-08-23 Thread Ron
Before I ask the next question, I simply state there is a transparency in my 
path, it is 
actually required. It is asked, if something is not transparent, then perhaps 
it should be 
looked at to see if this is a useful thing for one to keep in their life.

While transparency is a significant spiritul thing in my path, no coment for 
how others 
choose or their Guru procedes with or without transparency. I will just comment 
that it is 
something to think over maybe as one may realize that something they are trying 
to hide 
from being revealed may in fact be something that is not useful for their own 
evolution.

This policy is how it is in my path and not meaning to say it must be in all 
other paths or 
your path, what ever path that is, is better or worse.

I am stating something that exists in my path only, no need for asumptions that 
I think 
something about another path where this policy is not in place.

I do however see a profound usefullness in the transparency policy that is in 
my path.

Ok, now I will be in India with my Guru from mid october through mid december. 
Maybe 
we will be in Rishikesh alot but may travel around as well. If anyone asked me 
that their 
Guru is interested in meeting my Guru, heads would roll if the disciple did not 
inform my 
Guru that such requests are there.

Once again, while this is something in my path, I saw a circus atmosphere in 
another path 
after I accepted an intitial inventation on behalf of my Guru to meet their 
guru. It may have 
been that the disciples took it upon themselves to decide that such a request 
would not 
be forwared to their guru. My Guru's response to this is the operation is 
skewed that such 
a thing would take place. Be that as it  may, I accept what ever comes along.

Should it be that we are in the near  and if Mother Meera is there at the time 
we are and if 
you have contact to Mother Meera, then I am requesting that you let Mother 
Meera know 
that a disciple of my Guru, Swami Ganga-Puri Kaliuttamananda-Giri is interested 
to set up 
a meeting with  Mother Meera.


Let me know

[FairfieldLife] Conditioned ignorance in both east and west

2007-08-23 Thread Ron
Om Namo Narayan-

* Recently, finding out capability to be cool and nice with all shaktis and
dakinis
(specially Western) for the sake of understanding the nature of Nature Herself.
Invited
continuously to the West, but not visited, being afraid out of incapability to
cope up
with…. . So, taking teachings through the Tribe.Net facing difficulty with
Western
antagonism, restless thoughts and terribly interesting Western dakinis and
yoginis!!!

0- Here is a pointing - stop with the fixation on women - western or
otherwise - as
long as the body rules you there will be no Liberation. Since when does Aboslute
wear the
face of male or female ? There is Ground of Being center point or bindu. Then
there is the
flow of Shakti which is infinite in nature. Let go of chasing the infinite
waves of Shakti
whether male or female etc. etc. classifications as in this you are only hanging
onto the
edge of the revolving and spinning wheel. Come to the center and then the Lila
is known
rather than chased as maya. What you are speaking of comes under the catagory of
chasing maya - hahahahahaha and in this you will never win. Liberation or
attempting to
dance with an ever changing dyanmic which will turn you every way but loose ?
The choice
is yours.

It is hard being a Guru in the west because former guru's  were tainting the
name
by unethical ways. Also in the west what has been taught from early age is
clearly
egoism. There is also a breaking down of the respect for authority - and
anything that
comes from a point of authority versus an opininon is set upon by those who
think that
opinion is just as valid as Knowing. In other words if someone has something
more than
what i have then they are deluded because nothing more can exist other than what
i have
experienced and hold to be true within my current opinion. That or well i have
read that it
is *supposed* to be this way - and so fantasy and peoples imagination have
replaced
balanced indicators as to what to look for. So this is unfortunately the state
of the west.
India has it's own set of conditioned ignorance to break through.

 Kaliuttamananda-Giri is interested to set up a meeting

May I ask you to expound on what the *purpose*
of such a meeting would be?

I mean, it's a little strange. If you were 
asking because you want to meet her yourself,
then you ask in your own name, with no refer-
ence to who you might study with. That's
irrelevant.

If you're asking because you want to set up
a meeting between your teacher and Mother
Meera, that begs the question of *why* your
teacher would want such a meeting. The first
time I ever heard of her were her interactions
with the Rasa Von Werder (Woman Thou Art God)
woman, and I have to tell you that I came away
from skimming that meeting thinking that both
women were crazy as loons and that I wouldn't
trust either of them with my *dog*, much less
want to learn anything from them myself.

This is actually a fairly serious question
for you, Ron. If what you're really after is
to have your guru meet Mother Meera, *what
are your expectations* from such a meeting?

Are you expecting some kind of pissing contest
that your guru will win? Are you expecting
Mother Meera to say something that you can 
then use to *promote* your guru and help her
make more money (which you have said in the 
past is one of your goals)? Are you just 
interested in what they might have to say to
each other?

I'm asking because if you want her to meet 
Mother Meera based on some of the *other*
meetings your guru has had with other teachers,
you might want to rethink things a little. She
doesn't come off very well when she gets in
the same room with someone she sees as a com-
petitor in the business. In my opinion, of 
course...your mileage may vary, and probably
will, because you think she's kinda neat in
the first place.

All in all, I'm just asking because it's kind
of a strange request, even stranger than some
of your other evangelical activities here.

A number of detractors of the theory of M.E. use the term 'Painting the Bull's 
Eye around 
the Arrow', to discredit the TM movement when the movement attempts to 'take 
credit' for  
whatever good news is produced during the period of a M.E. group meditation 
demonstration project. The detractors' criticism historically has been very 
effective at 
undermining the credibility of the TM movement, yet the TM movement since the 
beginning of the Invincible America Course has effectively taken bold steps to 
predict 
specific results to be expected, and has hit the targets.  It is the detractors 
of the theory of 
the M.E. who now carry paint and brushes to create targets after the fact 
disingenuously.

I would think brain-mapping refers to those scanners, not EEG

You raise some interesting views which in turn raise some interesting
questions (a  former boss once said, No that is is not an interesting
point ('objecively'). It is merely interesting to you).

And these points, below, don't contradict what you say, but perhaps
add some additional perspective.

1) Are there 'bad' things currently that influence earnings and stock
levels?
 *Yes. Many of the things you cite, and more. 

2) Are these factors the majority influence on earnings?
  *No. The major driver of sustained earnings growth (the
anticipation of which drives subsequent stock prices) are: 
 increased productivity, yielding i) a lower cost of goods and
service, ii) increased wage levels, iii) more advanced products (52
HDTV vs 21 old color analog TV, at a lower cost, and with higher
waged consumers who can afford them)

3) What influences long run sustained productivity (and thus earnings
and stock price growth)?
 * a) infusions of technology via increased capital expenditures
(this can include human capital, training, education, health,etc)
b) increased innovation an creativity in individuals, and the
society as a whole
c) less resistance, removal of obstacles, direct stimulation
of a and b (change the fundamentals of the market via increased
technology development and infusion.) 

4) Are there overnight effects of ME on stock market and do they
mean much? 
* perhaps there are such short-term effects, but ME causality has
not begun to be well established. And even if it were, short term
changes in the market are not driven from fundamentals (see 3), but
rather from changes in the expectation of earnings. That is,
short-term changes in the market are not reflecting a substantive
shnage in the economy, a change in itself, or the underlyng causes of
productivity growth, but rather only a change in the perception of such.
Extreme changes in that perception (devoid of actual change in
fundamentals) are irrational exuberance and irrational pessimism.
Over night increases from ME, even if causality were established (a
huge and uncertain IF), then, at the extreme, large market short-term
(aja overnight) moves would be from ME increasing irrational
exuberance. Hardly a laudable claim.

5) On what theoretical basis could ME potentially enhance long run
market fundamentals (that is, productivity and its drivers -- see 3) 
and market prices (which are based on expectations of sustained
earnings gains -- which are based on productivity gains and
enhancement of its drivers).
*  Three main drivers of long run, sustained productivity (an thus
earnings and stock price) are:
   a) infusions of technology via increased capital expenditures
(this can include human capital, training, education, health,etc)
b) increased innovation an creativity in individuals, and the
society as a whole
c) less resistance, removal of obstacles, direct stimulation
of a and b change the fundamentals of the market via increased
technology development and infusion. 

It could be plausibly hypothesized that ME directly effects b)
increased innovation an creativity. And it might be plausible that it
changes the ether a postulated underlying field of large system /
global innovation by removing resistances and making this field  more
super fluid -- thus quickening the realization, implementation,
adaptation and diffusion of b) above.

ME also might have some indirect  influence on a) -- removal of
resistance to increased capital expenditures of human capital as
well as increasing efficiency of such factors (education and health).
And it might improve the savings rate, a major driver of a) as more
content individuals and society defer immediate

[FairfieldLife] The Maharish Effect (1,717 in evening program)

2007-08-23 Thread Duveyoung
When I taught 3% of the population of Napa, CA, crime didn't lessen.

And Napa, CA is a peaceful, laid back, isolated from the world, valley
community.  Still, it did have a crime rate.  The ME should have had
it easy to show some strong affects there. 

Nope.

And, then, the number of initiations petered out just like everywhere
else after the Merv era passed. Even though, you know, I'm one hell of
a lecturer -- a very accomplished public speaker -- college debate
team and all that.

The number of folks coming for checking was absolutely normal compared
to other TM centers too, that is, almost no one showed up after the 10
day checking.  So the ME didn't even show up as better experiences
during meditation or more folks coming in for checking or word of
mouth keeping a steady trickle of newbies coming to the introductory
lectures.  In fact, I saw NOTHING that I could call due to the ME.

It may be true, the ME might work, but scientifically, it's pure
oogabooga horse shitty guru-geek-azoid clap trap.

But, wait, it was my fault right?  I mean, even during the Merv era,
we had Maharishi saying that the TMP was not being successful as it
could be, because of lack of purity in the lives of the initiators.
 I think he had Jerry Jarvis tell us that delightful news.  

So, I apologize to everyone for fucking over the ME with my lifestyle
in Napa -- not sure what I was doing wrongly, but since crime didn't
come to a halt in Napa, I musta been a purdy bad boy. 

Let's see, ten years living in a bedroom upstairs in the center,
forgoing having children for 11 years in my marriage, driving a $200
car, setting up lectures at mental hospitals for the staff, arranging
for Dr. Gluck to lecture to 500 social workers, doing a lecture series
at the Vacaville prison, putting up thousands of posters.h,
no, probably that wasn't was stymied the ME in Napa.

Oh, I know what it was!  I had sex with my wife in the center 
There, that was probably it -- my impurity snuffed any chance Napa had
for seeing the full sunshine of the age of enlightenment.   

Now, why is it that we are asked to believe that the ME is S
COOL if a guy like me can stop it in its tracks with that devastating
weapon of mass delight: orgasms?  

Just to be completely honest here, I have to admit, my orgasms are,
indeed, powerful -- seismic even.

Maybe I should run for president.

[FairfieldLife] How's Maharishi doing?

2007-08-23 Thread Patrick Gillam
Last night I watched Maharishi and others doing a puja on the
Maharishi Channel.

http://www.maharishichannel.org/

An assistant handed him the puja utensils. I couldn't tell if that was
because MMY is so frail or there was some other practical reason, such
as the table being too crowded to have everything within reach.

What's the scuttlebutt on Maharishi's health? It only occurred to me a
few weeks ago that I'm not getting emails about his latest tirade or
declaration. He seems to have retired.

I have to admit to being morbidly fascinated at the prospect of
Maharishi passing away. I feel as if I'm girding myself for the
prospect. I never felt close to him, but he has been a gigantic
influence on me. Let's just say his passing will denote the passing of
my young adulthood way more than baldness has.

That aside, it was a pretty ragged-sounding puja, if you ask me.

Yes I agree -- though just to play devil's advocate again, I'd point
out that with regards to the SP500, which is the primary measure of
the stock market, you're talking about the earnings of large
corporations only.  For example, here in ffld Walmart has forced the
closing of many locally owned small businesses.  The pro vs con debate
on Walmart is too complex for me to tackle here, but one can argue
that what's been good for Walmart and therefore the SP500 for the
past few decades has had some negative economic impact as well on
small towns that is not captured by the stock market.  Again I have
to agree with you here, but I just feel that the corporate earnings
and productivity gains of recent years have come with an especially
strong anti-consumer rights and anti-small business hit.  I also feel
that the destruction of the manufacturing base in the US, though
justified from the logic of productivity, earnings and stock growth,
will in the long run be a negative for the country.

[FairfieldLife] Upanishads: Two Paths - Sun and Moon

2007-08-23 Thread do.rflex

Is anyone on this forum qualified to explain the following in
practical terms?

271:5 ... That future life is reached by two roads; p. 272 one, the
Devapatha, leading to the world of Brahman (the conditioned), beyond
which there lies one other stage only, represented by knowledge of and
identity with the unconditioned Brahman; 

the other leading to the world of the fathers, and from thence, after
the reward of good works has been consumed, back to a new round of
mundane existence. 

There is a third road for creatures which live and die, worms,
insects, and creeping things, but they are of little consequence. 

Now it is quite clear that the knowledge which king Kitra possesses,
and which Svetaketu does not possess, is that of the two roads after
death, sometimes called the right and the left, or the southern and
northern roads. These roads are fully described in the
Khândogya-upanishad and in the Brihad-âranyaka, with certain
variations, yet on the whole with the same purpose. 

The northern or left road, called also the path of the Devas, passes
on from light and day to the bright half of the moon; the southern or
right road, called also the path of the fathers, passes on from smoke
and night to the dark half of the moon. 

Both roads therefore meet in the moon, but diverge afterwards. While
the northern road passes by the six months when the sun moves towards
the north, through the sun, (moon,) and the lightning to the world of
Brahman, the southern passes by the six months when the sun moves
towards the south, to the world of the fathers, the ether, and the moon. 

The great difference, however, between the two roads is, that while
those who travel on the former do not return again to a new life on
earth, but reach in the end a true knowledge of the unconditioned
Brahman, those who pass on to the world of the fathers and the moon
return to earth to be born again and again.

If I understand what you’re saying, I pretty much agree with you. If these

does have bearing though, on MMY’s credibility. It caused me to begin taking
everything he said with a much bigger grain of salt. It also raises
interesting questions about ethics and higher states of consciousness (which
MMY said were tightly correlated) and thus on many if not all of his

 doesn't come off very well when she gets in
 the same room with someone she sees as a com-

 will, because you think she's kinda neat in
 the first place.

No. Your reaction to simple human activity raises serious questions 
about your moralism. 

Typical really. Your President could not even fool around with a 
cigar without the americans going bananas making their country the 
laughingstock of the whole world. Nobody cared, only the americans. A 
famous singer shows a nipple and creates an outrage. The frontpage of 
a mothers-journal shows a lady nurse a toddler and the magazine 
almost goes out of business. 

In France the President had two families and a daughter with the lady 
he was not married to, and no one cared even though everyone knew.

The americans are fundamentally and perversely obsessed with sex. 
With your obsession about this theme you proove that I am correct.

 identity with the unconditioned Brahman; 

The 'unconditioned' Brahman is the *Silence* part of the two fold
transcendental absolute, Cosmic Consciousness or Nirvikalpa Samadhi.



 
 the other leading to the world of the fathers, and from thence, after
 the reward of good works has been consumed, back to a new round of
 mundane existence. 

That is the heaven world where one is rewarded for good karma, but not
 freedom for Samsara, (the wheel of rebirth).

 There is a third road for creatures which live and die, worms,
 insects, and creeping things, but they are of little consequence. 


Of little consequence
 
 Now it is quite clear that the knowledge which king Kitra possesses,
 and which Svetaketu does not possess, is that of the two roads after
 death, sometimes called the right and the left, or the southern and
 northern roads. These roads are fully described in the
 Khândogya-upanishad and in the Brihad-âranyaka, with certain
 variations, yet on the whole with the same purpose. 

The Northern road is the upward path of the prana leading to the 7th
chakra or spiritual illumination and freedom from rebirth.
 
 The northern or left road, called also the path of the Devas, passes
 on from light and day to the bright half of the moon;

Up the spine to the brain.

 the southern or
 right road, called also the path of the fathers, passes on from smoke
 and night to the dark half of the moon. 

Back to rebirth due to unworked out karma.

 
 Both roads therefore meet in the moon, but diverge afterwards. While
 the northern road passes by the six months when the sun moves towards
 the north, through the sun, (moon,) and the lightning to the world of
 Brahman, the southern passes by the six months when the sun moves
 towards the south, to the world of the fathers, the ether, and the
moon. 

One is temporary enlightenment (return to rebirth) and one is
permanent (no return).
 
 The great difference, however, between the two roads is, that while
 those who travel on the former do not return again to a new life on
 earth, but reach in the end a true knowledge of the unconditioned
 Brahman, those who pass on to the world of the fathers and the moon
 return to earth to be born again and again.

Until they take the Northern path
 
 http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/sbe01/sbe01239.htm

The northern and southern paths are symbolic of the two directions of
the kundalini shakti, Northern going up towards Cosmic Consciousness
or the brain and Southern coming downwards towards the body or
reincarnation.

[FairfieldLife] Out-of-body experience recreated

2007-08-23 Thread claudiouk
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/6960612.stm

Experts have found a way to trigger an out-of-body experience in 
volunteers. The experiments, described in the Science journal, offer 
a scientific explanation for a phenomenon experienced by one in 10 
people. 

Two teams used virtual reality goggles to con the brain into thinking 
the body was located elsewhere. 

The visual illusion plus the feel of their real bodies being touched 
made volunteers sense that they had moved outside of their physical 
bodies. 

The researchers say their findings could have practical applications, 
such as helping take video games to the next level of virtuality so 
the players feel as if they are actually inside the game. 

Clinically, surgeons might also be able to perform operations on 
patients thousands of miles away by controlling a robotic virtual 
self. 

Teleported 

For some, out-of-body experiences or OBEs occurs spontaneously, while 
for others it is linked to dangerous circumstances, a near-death 
experience, a dream-like state or use of alcohol or drugs. 

One theory is that it is down to how people perceive their own body - 
those unhappy or less in touch with their body are more likely to 
have an OBE. 

But the two teams, from UCL and the Swiss Federal Institute of 
Technology in Lausanne, believe there is a neurological explanation. 


 We feel that our self is located where the eyes are 
UCL researcher Dr Henrik Ehrsson  

Their work suggests a disconnection between the brain circuits that 
process visual and touch sensory information may thus be responsible 
for some OBEs. 

In the Swiss experiments, the researchers asked volunteers to stand 
in front of a camera while wearing video-display goggles. 

Through these goggles, the volunteer could see a camera view of their 
own back - a three-dimensional virtual own body that appeared to be 
standing in front of them. 

When the researchers stroked the back of the volunteer with a pen, 
the volunteer could see their virtual back being stroked either 
simultaneously or with a time lag. 

The volunteers reported that the sensation seemed to be caused by the 
pen on their virtual back, rather than their real back, making them 
feel as if the virtual body was their own rather than a hologram. 

Volunteers 

Even when the camera was switched to film the back of a mannequin 
being stroked rather than their own back, the volunteers still 
reported feeling as if the virtual mannequin body was their own. 

And when the researchers switched off the goggles, guided the 
volunteers back a few paces, and then asked them to walk back to 
where they had been standing, the volunteers overshot the target, 
returning nearer to the position of their virtual self. 

Dr Henrik Ehrsson, who led the UCL research, used a similar set up in 
his tests and found volunteers had a physiological response - 
increased skin sweating - when they felt their virtual self was 
being threatened - appearing to be hit with a hammer. 

Dr Ehrsson said: This experiment suggests that the first-person 
visual perspective is critically important for the in-body 
experience. In other words, we feel that our self is located where 
the eyes are. 

Dr Susan Blackmore, psychologist and visiting lecturer at the 
University of the West of England, said: This has at last brought 
OBEs into the lab and tested one of the main theories of how they 
occur. 

Scientists have long suspected that the clue to these extraordinary, 
and sometimes life-changing, experiences lies in disrupting our 
normal illusion of being a self behind our eyes, and replacing it 
with a new viewpoint from above or behind.

 I gave up on it years ago. I like to fol-
 low discussions in real time, as people
 post, in the order they post, and do the
 threading in my head. It's more fun for
 me that way because the board becomes one
 big thread.
   
The folks who will most notice the hijacking are those of us who use 
email.  But even on the web site you can set it to threaded and I 
believe it keeps your settings for the next session.   On email I will 
have collapsed threads so when someone does the out-of-thread reply you 
start to wonder where this thie RE: came from as you never saw that 
topic as it was buried in a topic that I wasn't interested in so never 
expanded the thread.  Of course this thread was hijacked by Kirk as its 
original intent was to needle Shemp on his financial advisory biz which 
is probably in the toilet these days and why he spends so much time here. :)

I'm on a lot of groups and this one is by far the worst at thread 
hijacking.  I chalked it up to computer illiteracy of new agers which is 
quite common in those groups.
   
 My serious answer would have been to deprogram people 
 of the matrix they are stuck in. IOW, every preconceived 
 notion, belief or psychological construct they've ever 
 had. Show them how by and large morals were invented 
 by kings to keep their subjects under control. Leave 
 them crying I know have nothing to cling to! That's 
 the idea, get rid of the teddy bears and grow up. It 
 is the first step to moksha. All those concepts and 
 notions are just excess baggage.
 

 While I don't disagree, the question of
 How? does arise.

 I'm not convinced that a conscious, intel-
 lectual approach can ever do this. One tends
 to just replace the old constructs with new
 constructs. God has a plan for all of This
 becomes There is no plan, just interactions.
 As concepts go, the latter is no less binding
 and no more accurate from all POVs than the 
 former IMO.

 So for me it's not coming to an intellectual
 understanding that my beliefs are constructs,
 but coming to feel or know on a this-is-really-
 how-it-all-seems-to-work-at-every-moment prag-
 matic level.

 And for me the only thing that has ever done
 that is to be blown out of my socks by shakti
 or an intense meditation experience. The exper-
 ience came *first*, and the constructs fell
 away on their own. They couldn't stand the 
 heat. I don't know how one would approach the 
 dissolution of one's constructs the other way 
 around.
   
I think you can point out to people the con job that's been done on the 
public down through time.   It's more like planting a seed and gives 
them something to think about even if it just bounces around their 
subconscious for awhile and surfaces only when some article or 
conversation brings it up again.

I suspect you read The Master Game back in the 1960s?  It was quite 
popular back then and when I first came to these concepts though I was a 
bit of a fan of existentialism, Sartre, etc. even in high school.

Sure mantra meditation will start getting rid of these cons slowly over 
time or fast if you go the Kali route under a guru's guidance (or you 
really can lose your head).   My experience with that as I have 
mentioned before is like reality as layers of an onion being peeled away 
often leaving you chuckling at the result. :)


 It was nice to cocoon in beliefs but that won't work 
 anymore.  On the ego thread I never jumped in on my 
 experience is that I don't exist. That is until 
 someone needs me to exist. The bill collector, a 
 customer, a relative, a list member, my body, etc. 
 needs me to exist.  
 

 So you've got a Schroedinger's Cat kinda ego.
 Until someone looks in the box, it is neither
 alive nor dead, but both, in a virtual state. :-)
   
It's more like at times during the day you realize you've been going 
through the day with no identity to the small self.
 Just joking, because I kinda identify. I like
 to think of them as egos, plural. Multiple 
 selves, playing upon the surface of Self. 

   
 This is probably what confuses folks

 and their no-bid contracts to war profiteers like Halliburton is good
 for the stock market, subsidies to big industrial farms using

 good for the stock market, being able to sell toxic products from
 china to american consumers is good for the stock market (getting

 market helps their retirement portfolio no doubt, but I'm saying it's
 not a clear cut correlation between rising national consciousness
 and a rising stock market.  And there are definitely times when a
 correction in the market is actually a healthy sign of common sense

And printing more money can lead to hyper-inflation like the Wiemar

We see the CEO of Countrywide saying today that the subprime debacle may

As for 401K and IRAs I've been rebalancing mine and moving into cash (if

What did he say that was false?  Usually, hearings on the Hill involving

The 1980s were a period of inflation-killing Fed policies that used restrictive 
money

prevent inflation.  The public wants the 'party' to continue, and the Fed will

week.

sure he thinks that is what it will really happen but if he did he would

As for mortgage lenders, they are experiencing a depression. When the Fed 
discount rate 
(the rate it leant money to banks ) was lower than 2%, it was a no brainer to 
borrow from 
the Fed, and lend to the public. At the time, mortgages were considered a safe 
investment, 
with low default rates for individual mortgage holders.  With all the loose 
lending,  the 
mortgages were bundled, mixing good with bad, and leveraged through investment 
vehicles like hedge funds, and sold worldwide.  It was only 2005 that lenders 
were widely 
advertising loans for 125% of the purchase price of a home. Other quirky 
lending practices 
: No Documentation Loans (loans for liars).

If you were to invest your cash position, in which vehicles would you place it ?

So a lot of those monster homes that people bought over the last 10
years will probably turn into boarding houses and where they can into
apartment complexes if the owners want to hold on to them. That's what

A thought keeps reminding me of an old maxim:  It's best to spend less than you

 There is a third road for creatures which live and die, worms,
 insects, and creeping things, but they are of little consequence. 
 
 Now it is quite clear that the knowledge which king Kitra possesses,
 and which Svetaketu does not possess, is that of the two roads after
 death, sometimes called the right and the left, or the southern and
 northern roads. These roads are fully described in the
 Khândogya-upanishad and in the Brihad-âranyaka, with certain
 variations, yet on the whole with the same purpose. 
 
 The northern or left road, called also the path of the Devas, passes
 on from light and day to the bright half of the moon; the southern or
 right road, called also the path of the fathers, passes on from smoke
 and night to the dark half of the moon. 
 
 Both roads therefore meet in the moon, but diverge afterwards. While
 the northern road passes by the six months when the sun moves towards
 the north, through the sun, (moon,) and the lightning to the world of
 Brahman, the southern passes by the six months when the sun moves
 towards the south, to the world of the fathers, the ether, and the
moon. 
 
 The great difference, however, between the two roads is, that while
 those who travel on the former do not return again to a new life on
 earth, but reach in the end a true knowledge of the unconditioned
 Brahman, those who pass on to the world of the fathers and the moon
 return to earth to be born again and again.
 
 http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/sbe01/sbe01239.htm

Additionally, the 6 months when the sun moves North refers to the 6
chakras (even MMY mentioned this significant number in his talk on the
chakras.  The Sun generally refers to Spirit or the absolute (7th) and
the Moon (1-6) to the reflected image or the soul. The 'smoke' and
'night' refers to man's identification with the lower material worlds
and the  'light' or 'day' to his identification with Spirit. 

The moon has a 14 day waxing and a 14 day waning period naturally,
hence the beautiful analogy confirming the proclamation, As above, so
below  the Macrocosm and the Microcosm.

Thanks for sharing this beautiful Upanishad. You'll find a similar

None of these individuals were personal secretaries,

I've read, Ned Wynn once spent about five minutes alone

one minute.

 Others left for other reasons, but knew about the

So not a single person can say that they actually saw

they were just outside the Marshy's door for days, hours,

To me this is blatantly giving a coded yogic instruction in the

consciousness. It is the fast road to Brahman. The world of the  
father is most likely referring to pitr-loka, world of the ancestors,  
referred to in Brihadaranyaka 6..2.16 which describes the sacrifice  
of soma in the yogin which is offered up to the gods. One path leads  
to worldly existence and another to a heaven-dimension. In the  
Chandogya and Brihadaranyaka it refers to the technique of the  
sacrifice, the creation of man in five stages and the path of the  
gods. These northern and southerly courses have direct correspondence

and which Svetaketu does not possess, is that of the two roads after
death, sometimes called the right and the left, or the southern and
northern roads. These roads are fully described in the
Khândogya-upanishad and in the Brihad-âranyaka, with certain
variations, yet on the whole with the same purpose.

The northern or left road, called also the path of the Devas, passes
on from light and day to the bright half of the moon; the southern or
right road, called also the path of the fathers, passes on from smoke
and night to the dark half of the moon.

Both roads therefore meet in the moon, but diverge afterwards. While
the northern road passes by the six months when the sun moves towards
the north, through the sun, (moon,) and the lightning to the world of
Brahman, the southern passes by the six months when the sun moves
towards the south, to the world of the fathers, the ether, and the  
moon.


The great difference, however, between the two roads is, that while
those who travel on the former do not return again to a new life on
earth, but reach in the end a true knowledge of the unconditioned
Brahman, those who pass on to the world of the fathers and the moon
return to earth to be born again and again.

  Conny Larsson (who may be joining FFL soon), Billy

 None of these individuals were personal secretaries, 
 least of all Conny Larsson and Ned Wynn. From what 
 I've read, Ned Wynn once spent about five minutes alone 
 with the Marshy and once carried Marshy's skin for about 
 one minute.
 
  Others left for other reasons, but knew about the
  situation.
 
 So not a single person can say that they actually saw 
 the Marshy having sex, in over thirty years, even though
 they were just outside the Marshy's door for days, hours,
 months, and years.

Ofcourse not. But don't tell Rick Archer. His whole plot would 
collapse. He would have to create more rumours, because without 
rumours what would he do ? Moderate FFL ? Rather boring in the long 
run I would think.

 To me this is blatantly giving a coded yogic instruction in the

 of soma and agni where karmic-consciousness transforms into jnanic- 
 consciousness. It is the fast road to Brahman. The world of the

 to worldly existence and another to a heaven-dimension. In the  
 Chandogya and Brihadaranyaka it refers to the technique of the  
 sacrifice, the creation of man in five stages and the path of the  
 gods. These northern and southerly courses have direct correspondence

[FairfieldLife] Hypothesis of Higher SoC Improving Ethics, Behavior, Mental Clarity, etc.

2007-08-23 Thread new . morning
--- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Rick Archer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 It also raises
 interesting questions about ethics and higher states of
consciousness (which
 MMY said were tightly correlated) and thus on many if not all of his
 philosophical/spiritual teachings.

I have recently pondered this and related things:

a) MMY said higher aka altered  SoC an improved ethics, skill in
action, mental clarity, compassion and social graces, are tightly
correlated. 

b) MMY has said Gita etc has said that there are no outwards signs of
H/A Soc.

a and b, while not necessarily contradictory in all combinations  and
all manifest permutations, its still pretty contradictory (many more
contradictions than not, IMO). 

Further,

c) some aspects of behavior, fundamental abilities, etc seem to be
clearly sub normal for some of those presumed to be enlightened (by
many) -- MMY, Muktanamda, Sri Chimoy, etc. As well, i not more so, for
 some of those who presume they themselves are experiencing a H/A Soc. 

As Turq said, and I have echoed in various ways, paraphrasing (a bit
more dramatically, perhaps), if this is E, who on earth (or heaven)
would possibly want it / I hope I am never cursed with that affliction.

d) Many aspects of behavior, fundamental abilities, etc seem to be
clearly sub sub normal after 20-30 years, of practicing of TM and or
other spiritual disciplines -- including many intensives and retreats. 

c and d clearly contradict a.


e) MMY / TMO have emphasized capture the fort / principle of
highest first and then the rest, for example, a, will take care of
itself. Yet given d (and c),  that approach seems hardly effective in
many cases. Supplemental fertilizers are drastically required, it
appears, for some, in addition to watering the root.

f) MMY has said that the inner subjective experience of milestone
states  of H/A SoC cannot be described.

g) MMY / Gita / other Hindu literature provide a number attributes
with the implicit, if not explicit caveat, that attributes in
themselves cannot adequately capture the wholeness of the SE.

f and g are not necessarily contradictory, but when taken in
isolation, can paint a misrepresentation  of the implied meaning with
both statements taken together.

  He THEN used his petty power to remove my status

  profanity is 
  necessarily used to emphasize that they shall not

  Not always. Often, conflicts escalate when one
  responds. If someone calls me
  white trash, and rather than call him names back,
 I
  ignore him or post a
  more rational retort, I don’t feel that he has
  triumphed. I think he has
  painted himself as a fool in most people’s eyes.
  He’s shot himself in the
  foot. It takes two to have a fight, and often only
  one to end it.

Perhaps it would make things more clear if I followed
my third post with off's reply:

First post:
I had never heard of Ron Paul before I read about him
in FFL. I have not heard about him outside of FFL
since then. I have to ask how people outside of Iowa
even know who he is, if the news does not cover him.
Perhaps fewer than are in the domes these days.

Second post:

Its been like this for months. Ron Paul is ALL OVER
YOUTUBE.

Oh, that's the reason I haven't heard of him. I don't
get my news off of youtube.

Third post:

So you think YouTube is insignificant Gullible Fool?

I just said I don't get my news off of it.

IT IS NOT OFF YOUTUBE YOU MORON, it is newsclips off

   271:5 ... That future life is reached by two roads; p. 272 
one, the
   Devapatha, leading to the world of Brahman (the conditioned),
  
  That would be the path of the Devas/Gods/Angels/Shining Ones or 
the
  *dynamism* MMY talks about, conditioned..by space and time.
  
  
  
   beyond
   which there lies one other stage only, represented by 
knowledge of and
   identity with the unconditioned Brahman; 
  
  The 'unconditioned' Brahman is the *Silence* part of the two fold
  transcendental absolute, Cosmic Consciousness or Nirvikalpa 
Samadhi.
  
  
  
   
   the other leading to the world of the fathers, and from 
thence, after
   the reward of good works has been consumed, back to a new 
round of
   mundane existence. 
  
  That is the heaven world where one is rewarded for good karma, 
but not
   freedom for Samsara, (the wheel of rebirth).
  
   There is a third road for creatures which live and die, worms,
   insects, and creeping things, but they are of little 
consequence. 
  
  
  Of little consequence
   
   Now it is quite clear that the knowledge which king Kitra 
possesses,
   and which Svetaketu does not possess, is that of the two roads 
after
   death, sometimes called the right and the left, or the 
southern and
   northern roads. These roads are fully described in the
   Khândogya-upanishad and in the Brihad-âranyaka, with certain
   variations, yet on the whole with the same purpose. 
  
  The Northern road is the upward path of the prana leading to the 
7th
  chakra or spiritual illumination and freedom from rebirth.
   
   The northern or left road, called also the path of the Devas, 
passes
   on from light and day to the bright half of the moon;
  
  Up the spine to the brain.
  
   the southern or
   right road, called also the path of the fathers, passes on 
from smoke
   and night to the dark half of the moon. 
  
  Back to rebirth due to unworked out karma.
  
   
   Both roads therefore meet in the moon, but diverge afterwards. 
While
   the northern road passes by the six months when the sun moves 
towards
   the north, through the sun, (moon,) and the lightning to the 
world of
   Brahman, the southern passes by the six months when the sun 
moves
   towards the south, to the world of the fathers, the ether, and 
the
  moon. 
  
  One is temporary enlightenment (return to rebirth) and one is
  permanent (no return).
   
   The great difference, however, between the two roads is, that 
while
   those who travel on the former do not return again to a new 
life on
   earth, but reach in the end a true knowledge of the 
unconditioned
   Brahman, those who pass on to the world of the fathers and the 
moon
   return to earth to be born again and again.
  
  Until they take the Northern path
   
   http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/sbe01/sbe01239.htm
  
  The northern and southern paths are symbolic of the two 
directions of
  the kundalini shakti, Northern going up towards Cosmic 
Consciousness
  or the brain and Southern coming downwards towards the body or
  reincarnation.
 
 
 Thanks.

I am thoroughly enjoying this, though I have a slightly different 
perspective; that of seeing the change in direction of the kundalini 
shakti, from south to north, as a natural evolution for all of us, 
eventually. There are so many rebirths taking us down into the 
southern kundalini, each creating strong impressions from the 
senses, towards the seat of the senses, until we learn the lesson, 
after many lifetimes, that happiness doesn't lie in that direction. 
Surrendering slowly (tamasically) to that which leads us 
(rajasically) upwards, northward, (satvically) in the direction away 
from the senses, into the Celestial realms, towards that which is 
quieter and subtler, until we surrender, to balance, to Being; 
become Brahman. 

Freedom from rebirth, or seen another way, freedom to be reborn 
instantaneously, expanding over and over, always experiencing an 
expanding Universal existence, satisfying the senses through a 
confident and never ending newness of experience, becoming at once 
everything, or just a personal sliver; become Brahman.:-)
