[FairfieldLife] Holy Spirits! Aussies turn pub into church
Jesus Christ may have turned water into wine, but for a group of Australian churchgoers the ideal place to worship on a Sunday is a pub.Devoid of a church in the docklands entertainment area of Melbourne, a group of Christians have created the Docklands Church inside the James Squire Brewhouse. Jesus did turn water into wine, he was kind of radical, he was connected with his culture, and yet he had a great message for our world, Docklands Church minister Guy Mason said after his first service on Sunday. Mason told local media that worshippers were offered not only a message from the bible but also a meal and tea and coffee, but anyone could have a pint before or after the church service. The choice of location was a way of modernizing the church, he said. All we want to be is relevant, we want to be applicable and contemporary and...we're going to keep the bible open as well, said one parishioner, with a beer in his hand. Another parishioner said: I think a lot of people who do want to go out and have a drink or go out and have a party often feel that they're excluded from God. http://www.reuters.com/article/lifestyleMolt/idUSSYD642520071029 __ Do You Yahoo!?

Here is the definite spelling- Padamalai It was first published in 2004 Comments from my Guru about this book: This book is called Padamami ( I think). It is also edited by David Godman, and the acounting was by one that was with Ramana. The difference in this book compard with other acountings is the real essence of what the path is there without sugar coatings. This book reflects all the methodologies and understandings which are in mt path to the T Hridaya

[FairfieldLife] Re: Guru Dev has something to say about rajas
Since this thread is one of many where there are some that are happy
to be where they are with TM and then some indicating they would
have nothing to do with TM, my question to the latter is what is it
you have decided to do now?
Have you continued seeking another path that can bring about the
promises that you thought were incorperated in TM or have you thrown
in the towel and lumped all paths with TM and taken the position
that all Gurus and paths are fraud?
Of course the decision is up to you but if you have made the latter
choice, it differs from what I chose.
The point is that what is taking place in any other path has nothing
to do with the other, all deserve a fair chance of unbiased
investigation

Why not open it up to discussion before you take on the role of the decider? He is the decider, it is basically his cyber living room we are in. People have the option of private emails is they want to continue with a topic beyond the posting limits. I think your suggestion just destroys the whole value of the 35 post limit. Because I read this on the Web I haven't found this rule to help or hurt my own enjoyment much, but people getting this on email felt a need to limit posts so the rule started. I think it helps people focus on how they want to spend their posts more carefully and improves the quality of writing. It makes me ask the question Is this post worth it? Many times the answer is no. I read and enjoy Judy's contributions here too.

Well, I rest my case. Apparently not only were the Hindu tantric bija mantras just nonsensence gibberish made up by illiterates after overhearing them at a Buddhist yoga camp meet, some of them were heard derived the mutterings of a pig out in the forest! 46-47. O king! There was a Brahmân, named Satyavrata, quite illiterate, a thorough block-head. Once he heard the letter Ai, Ai being uttered by a pig; and in course of a talk he himself uttered incidentally that letter and thereby became the one of the best Pundits.
[FairfieldLife] Re: Devi Bhagavatam and Beeja Mantras?
cardemaister wrote: Where in Devi Bhagavatam are Beeja Mantras mentioned? Apparently the Srimad Devi Bhagavatam was composed in the 15th century long after the rise of the bhakti sects. It is a very minor purana and was not commented on by Chaitanya or the Six Goswamis of Vrindaban and, since it is a Shakta work, would not be of interest to anyone except a rasik rascal interested in sacrificing goats or sheep. The text is only available in Bengali, therefore, unless you be reading Bengali, you would not be able to see any Beej Mantras. If you are reading the English translation, by Swami Vijnanananda, you probably would not be seeing any Beej Mantras because the Beej Mantras are not usually translated into English, since the Beej Mantras aren't words but mere non-sense syllables. Tantric Beej Mantras are usually not included in translations because they are considered to be esoteric, that is, secret, imparted to the left-handed basket weavers by whispering in the ear of the sadhak at a yoga camp meet in downtown Mayapur. Apparently the only mantra mentioned in the Srimad Devi Bhagavatam occurs in Chapter IV, entitled On the Gayatri Hridayam, however, the only mantra that occurs in the Gayatri is the monosyllable OM which, strictly speaking, isn't considered to be a Beej Mantra. If there are any Beej Mantras mentioned in Srimad Devi Bhagavatam they would probably occur in Chapter XIII On Janamejaya's Devi Yajna, since it would be during the yajna that they would be spouted along with the finger snaps and the arm waving over the burning coals in the back yard out by the chicken coop. But who said that the Srimad Devi Bhagavatam contained any Beej Mantras? Those kinds of gibberish are usually contained in the Tantras, the instruction books for learning techniques for use in casting spells used in obscure, deviant, religious sects and cults.

If you want to see Barry's women of the world today -- women who can take care of themselves without needing Edg's false white knight claustrophobic burka of proprieties, if you want to see Barry's vision of himself in a bar, I have found the perfect embodiment. If you want to see the victimization of young hawt GENIUS-IQ women with complete empowerment and 'tudes that take no prisoners, if you want to know how such women who are by any standards ninja femmys can be handled, if you want to watch Barry's vision of himself breezing past the defenses of women, if you want to see women who are COMPLETELY FOOLED by an OLD FUCK that they derisively see as pretty much a harmless joke, watch the film Death Proof. The writing chisels down to molecular tolerances the alacrity of these women's minds. They're Goddesses with atomic eggs descending in fallopian tubes. They're all spiritual clones of the spirit of The Bride -- Uma Thurman's anti-paean from hell. Yet these women are children, and Quentin Tarantino's monster never breaks a sweat. Calmly, by sheerly being only who he actually is energetically, bristling with malevolence, without the least sign of being, you know, dangerously evil, Stuntman Mike ends all possible futures for these women. In matters of the heart, everyone knows that life can turn on a dime, and that we know not what will be the tipping point where we enter our fall to doom. In this film, it's a set of car keys slid between drinks on a bar like a granite curling stone -- to a pure young soul so enwrapped with her own empowerment she ignores the heft of the rock sent at her. What difference if life is taken or a heart is set askew forever?

RE: [FairfieldLife] Rick -- how's 'bout a discussion first? (Re: Posting Quotas Reached)
Discussion is fine with me. As you know, I’m reluctant to mandate things. If the general consensus is to all surrogate posting, I’m OK with it. When I post things “from a friend,” it’s usually just something interesting that has come along that I want to share. Often I’m posting something from someone who doesn’t even know FFL exists – not from someone who is trying to circumvent the posting quota. Ron tried to use me as a surrogate poster, to get around the quota, and I refused, both because I didn’t want to be troubled with the task, and because it seemed unfair. But I’m always open to discussion. Keep in mind that I don’t get my jollies out of laying down rules, but if the majority want me to enforce a few basic rules, then as moderator, I see it as my obligation to do so.

Yeah, your friends haven't done 35 posts, but so what? Those posters may not even be reading FFL, while Judy, as we all know, has Sherlock Holmes' magnifying glass on every word posted here, and she's zen sighted more often than not. Her comments are pertinent and surf-cresting the wave-front of the community's consciousness here. With 153292 posts so far, I very much doubt that anyone who posts through Rick could come up with an issue or even a nuance of an issue that hasn't already been handled here in some detail by Judy-class minds. Your off-siters are hit-and-run types for the most part whereas Judy is a dedicated pruner of our mind garden here. If I want to give her my posts -- and this is a person I've had some dissonance with, right? -- my gifting is certainly a secularly ecumenical modeling here for all -- no matter if I am biased or have a self-serving agenda for the gifting. I offered her my posts because she was hot on several threads and I wanted to gain the benefit of her thinking about them more than I wanted to use those posts to express my own opinion. Further, others here can do the same thing. Many of those, who oppose my or Judy's views with regularity, have other poster-allies here who do not use their 35 posts, and thus, if those anti-judyme folks need to post more than 35 they can hope that their posting history will be of such quality that those in their camp will give unused posting privileges to them similarly.

When asked about the morality of such, he said, It's not against the rules, and I'd be a fool not to use whatever I can to win this contest.

All the same, over the last few weeks, it has been impossible to miss the fact that the Iranian nuclear program has become the subject of intense and ever increasing international scrutiny. This naturally gives rise to the impression that something is afoot. Take for example the head of the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency Muhammad elBaradei's recent remarks on the subject. Speaking to ,iLe Monde on Monday, elBaradei asserted that it will take Le M between three to eight years to acquire a nuclear arsenal. Consequently, he argued, there is no reason to consider conducting a _military_ (http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1192380656298pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull) strike against Teheran's program. There is still plenty of time for diplomacy, or sanctions or even incentives for the ayatollahs, he said. ElBaradei's statement is only interesting when it is compared to a statement he made in December 2005 to the Independent. Back then Baradei's view was that Back was just a few months away from producing atomic bombs. But then too he saw no reason to attack. As he put it when he warned that was was on the precipice of nuclear weapons, using force would just open Pandora's box. There would be efforts to isolate was; ; S would retaliate, and at the end of the day, you have to go back to the negotiation table to find the solution, elBaradei warned. Given that the IAEA's Egyptian chief has been unstinting in his view that no obstacle should be placed in Iran's path to nuclear bombs, what makes his statements from 2005 and today interesting is what they tell us about his changing perception of the West's intentions. At the end of 2005, he was fairly certain that the West - led by the Gi - lacked the will to attack - l. By making the statement he made at the time, he sought to demoralize the West and so convince it that there was nothing to be done to prevent . By from acquiring nuclear weapons. Now, when faced with a real possibility that the US or Israel or a combination of states are ready and willing to attack Iran's nuclear installations, elBaradei seeks to undermine them by questioning the salience of the threat. ElBaradei's statement of course was not made in a vacuum. It came against the backdrop of an increasing unanimity of opinion among top _Bush administration_ (http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1192380656298pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull) members that mem must be prevented from acquiring nuclear weapons. Last Thursday, President George W. Bush said that a nuclear armed mus would foment World War III. The next day, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, who until recently was known to oppose military action against Iran and to minimize the danger that a nuclear-armed Iran would constitute to the US, said at a press briefing that a nuclear-armed Iran would likely spark a nuclear arms race in the Middle East and was liable to foment a major war. Gates added that in light of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad'The next day, Secretary of DefeThe ne, , ST1Wa couldn't trust that cou would handle nuclear weapons responsibly. would handle nuclear weapons responsibly.WBR Standing next to Gates last Thursday was Admiral Michael Mullen, the new Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of w campaigns in campaigns and and have strained military resources to the point that the h today cannot mount an effective campaign against tod.

Version: 7.5.503 / Virus Database: 269.15.18/1104 - Release Date: 11/1/2007 6:47 PM I don't think HD-DVD is going to go away anytime soon. It is the least expensive of the two platforms and the least expensive to produce DVDs. If you like independent films like I do you should know that small studios can't afford to do Blu-Ray. Sony title testing is way too expensive and stringent. There are already lots of HD-DVD titles available. I also predicted at the beginning that of the two HD-DVD would win just on the basis of economics. Sony has been playing games with numbers and title price wars but I don't see them winning. HD-VMD is a dark horse but some folks think that it is still early enough in the game that it might stand a chance. The Bollywood market is huge and on that alone it could do okay though the local Indian grocery had not heard of it yet. But for $98 I don't care but they probably would have had to stock 100 of them for me to get one. These are also the earlier models which were notoriously slow to boot up. I think they are really little Linux boxes which is not uncommon for a manufacturer to do when they want to bring something to market. With later models they start using specialized VSLI chips bringing the costs down and the performance up. I would like a model that also (like many other players) could play DivX, MP4 and WMV files as well. But if I had my druthers and the cash burning in my pocket I would buy one of the dual format players like the LG or the Samsung but even there some folks with those are having problems with new Blu-Ray disks since Sony implemented their BD+ copy protection and those players aren't up to dealing with it.

[FairfieldLife] City Council Election Recommendations-please forward early and often!
From: Bill Blackmore [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 02, 2007 2:21 PM To: Undisclosed-Recipient:;@spamarrest.com Subject: City Council Election Recommendations-please forward early and often! Dear Quiet Zone Supporter, We have a very important election coming up for the Quiet Zone project. All of us need to vote to let the City Council know that there is broad based support for safer and quieter railroad crossings. The good news is that we have come a long ways. The majority of current City Council members and the vast majority of the candidates support a Quiet Zone. However, amongst the candidates only Ira Roffel for 3rd ward and Christy Welty for the at large seat want to use any of the money from the closing of RR crossings to help pay for the $250,000 of improvements. Here are our recommendations and acknowledgement of support: Ira Roffel, the candidate for the 3rd Ward, has been instrumental in getting us this far. The 3rd ward is west of 4th street and north of hwy 34 but also includes Suburban Heights. STRONG RECOMMENDATION! Christy Welty for the at large seat has been a consistent supporter of the quiet zone and favors using money from closing crossings towards the cost of the quiet zone. All registered voters can vote for the at large seat. STRONG RECOMMENDATION! 4TH Ward. Based on the candidate forum earlier this week, all of the candidates support the quiet zone. However, we believe that Karen Rubey is the most viable candidate and deserves our support for the 4th Ward seat. 5th Ward. We want to acknowledge the hard work that current City Council member Daryn Hamilton has done to really nail down what we need to have a quiet zone. Daryn is running unopposed. Mayor Ed Malloy. We want to thank Mayor Malloy for artfully framing the quiet zone debate and for his wisdom and guidance in getting us to the point where a quiet zone is now largely dependent on us raising the money to pay for it. Ed is also running unopposed. Thanks are also due to Connie Boyer for her service to the community and support of the quiet zone. Connie is not running for reelection. The quiet zone is not the only issue at stake here. The important thing is that everyone turns out to vote. However, remember that the message sent by this election will help the quiet zone to become a reality in the very near future. Please remember to forward this message to friends and family.

I think you can seperate this group a third way with those of us who do TM but have nothing to do with the TM movement, not sure if I'm the only one in that category. For years I believed the TMO that TM is the only genuine technique and all the others were mood making or not as fast etc. It's one of the things that makes me angry about them, I feel like I was duped, If you don't know much about it the TM propaganda is very effective. I think people need different things at different times, and what is essential to growth is that you recognise when something isn't working for you anymore. I've met so many in the TMO who just blindly follow the programme, living on rice and dhal, are they happy and evolving? Is it healthy just to sit on purusha and do nothing else? I've met many who that didn't suit but when asked they just say 'what's the alternative'. I'm so slack with TM now I'll skip it in the morning to watch re-runs of Just Shoot Me How off the programme is that! As for what I'm doing now, I learnt a technique this summer based on Osteopathy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming, the idea is to improve the mind by deleting non-useful thoughts and creating new neural networks. Sounds simplistic, does it work? I got more out of it in 3 days than I did from 15 years of TM. I'm not saying there is no room for meditation it's a damn pleasant experience, just that the appliance of science to human development has left TM looking a bit antiquated. Whether I can get enlightened from it remains to be seen.

RE: [FairfieldLife] Re: new rajas today
Kinda funny. Warren Buffett is down to earth and, if you get the opportunity, he will talk to you just like he is anybody else. But he could buy all the Rajas, the entire TMO, as well as everything and everybody else associated with them if he wanted to (and on top of that he thinks he doesn't pay enough taxes). Frankly this whole rajathing sounds a bit like revenge of the nerds to me. From Wikipedia: Warren Edward Buffett (b. August 30, 1930, Omaha, Nebraska), often called the Sage of Omaha or the Oracle of Omaha[3], is an American investor, businessperson and philanthropist. Buffett has amassed an enormous fortune from astute investments managed through the holding company Berkshire Hathaway, of which he is the largest shareholder and CEO. With an estimated current net worth of around US$52 billion,[2] he was ranked by Forbes as the second-richest person in the world as of September 2007, behind Bill Gates.[4] In June 2006, he made a commitment to give away his fortune to charity, with 83% of it going to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.[5] The donation amounts to approximately $30 billion. Buffett's donation is said to be the largest in U.S. history. At the time of the announcement the donation was enough to more than double the size of the foundation. Despite his immense wealth, Buffett is renowned for his unpretentious and frugal lifestyle.[6] When he spent $9.7 million of Berkshire's funds on a corporate jet in 1989, he jokingly named it The Indefensible because of his past criticisms of such purchases by other CEOs.[2] He continues to live in the same house in the central Dundee neighborhood of Omaha, Nebraska that he bought in 1958 for $31,500[7] (although he also owned a more expensive home in Laguna Beach, California which he sold in 2004). The current estimated value for his Omaha house is around $700,000.[8] His 2006 annual salary of about $100,000 [1] is tiny by the standards of senior executive remuneration in other comparable companies. CEOs in SP 500 constituent companies averaged about $9 million compensation in 2003.[9] In 2007, Buffett was listed among Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People in The World.

And, most important, do they ever interact with normal people in the world, and get some feed- back from them that *their* lifestyle is any- thing *but* normal? Many of them are householders, and some have kids, etc., but that doesnt disprove your point, because as rajas, Maharishi instructs to hold themselves aloof from normal people. He gave the 108s the same instruction. About a year ago I ran into Rogers Badgett (a Raja) in the bank. He was standing about 10 feet away from the tellers window while his assistant did his banking. My wife was doing our banking and I had time to kill, so I said hi and tried to strike up a conversation. He was strangely distant, so I gave up and read a magazine.

However, just like all other consumer electronics, it will be obsolete before you even open the box. But if you are still using a mono VHS tape player to watch movies on, I'd go for one if I could find one. I only watch movies on the big screen at theaters, so it's no big deal to me.

Because *I* respect the limit, unlike these two assholes, I'll take it off of my next week's tally. The 35-post-per-week limit was put in place for a REASON.

Think back to one year ago, October, 2006. During that month: Fuck you Barry, you're the one over his posting limit! * shempmcgurk made 541 posts -- that was 11.6% of the total FFL posts for that month, an average of 129/week * sparaig made 533 posts -- that was (11.4% of the total FFL posts for the month, an average of 123/week * authfriend (Judy) made 482 posts -- that was 10.3% of total FFL posts for the month, an average of 111/week Almost everyone else back then was writing pretty much the same number of posts they are today; that is, they had the self control to say only what needed to be said.

And everyone here knows it, no matter how much you posture otherwise. snipping the rest of Edg's self-serving bullshit Here's the real issue. And since Rick says I'm already at 35 even though my hand-count says otherwise, even counting the one I offered to Judy, I'm going to go over by one post to make the point that Edg is trying to obscure. Because *I* respect the limit, unlike these two assholes, I'll take it off of my next week's tally. The 35-post-per-week limit was put in place for a REASON. That reason is that several people were completely out of control and using their ability to post as much as they wanted to drown out other posters and thus drown out ideas they disagreed with. Think back to one year ago, October, 2006. During that month: Fuck you Barry, you're the one over his posting limit! * shempmcgurk made 541 posts -- that was 11.6% of the total FFL posts for that month, an average of 129/week * sparaig made 533 posts -- that was (11.4% of the total FFL posts for the month, an average of 123/week * authfriend (Judy) made 482 posts -- that was 10.3% of total FFL posts for the month, an average of 111/week Almost everyone else back then was writing pretty much the same number of posts they are today; that is, they had the self control to say only what needed to be said. Only a few posted more, and none of them at even anything *near* what the three people above were posting.

I mean equating the rare re- posting Rick does with allowing Judy to post via Edg. Come on Edg, you can do better than this.

As far the other issue, creative writing, well, I guess you're pretty open about your feelings, opinions etc. I gather that's just you. Kind of putting it out there and seeing what gets reflected back. Not being afraid to show all sides. After all, it's a pretty good forum for that. No REAL accountablility to anyone. Who cares if you look like a fool, OR a saint. I think your nuanced opinions about things often times hit the target straight on. I do wonder at the same time why you sometimes push certain issues past a point where I think any benefit can be derived, but you may have a method TYM. I've got my own rage issues, and sometimes I have a resonance with your postings. Take Care.

The mini-documentary lifts the lid on how the backlash against rampant illegal immigration in America is a major concern for the Bilderberg Group, posing a threat to their plans to lower the living standards of U.S. citizens of all colors and creeds into second or even third world status. What is the real agenda behind last year's massive pro-illegal immigration demonstrations and who is really behind them? Battle For the Republic traces the legacy of the movement back to the Plan of San Diego, a shocking blueprint for race-based genocide directed against blacks and whites in America. The goal is to divide America by bankrolling the Aztlan movement, an extremist separatist plan on behalf of Mexican Ku Klux Klan style groups like Mecha and La Raza to reclaim the southern and western U.S. states, in order to eventually merge America, Canada and Mexico into a North American Union. Battle For The Republic shoots down the myth that Mexico has any rightful claim to the south western states by carefully documenting the history of how the west was won, bringing it up to the modern day and highlighting how the elite are using the enraged Mexican mobs as a weapon of conquest to slit America's throat and sacrifice its sovereignty on the altar of globalism. Hispanic Radio and TV stations owned by huge corporations based in New York spew hatred and division as Mexicans are radicalized and told that all their problems stem from the racist American middle class while ignoring the fact that the elite are the true cause of their misery, as taxpayers are sucked dry to fund welfare which only subsidizes the corporations that employ the illegals. Illegal aliens are being granted God-like status by the elite and given rights that super seed those of American citizens. The film highlights the case of a man who was assaulted and arrested by police for expressing his first amendment right to disagree with thousands of illegal aliens marching in downtown Seattle, and how illegals who assaulted him and smashed his car were left completely alone while throngs of Mexicans cheered as an American was taken to jail for exercising his freedom of speech. Now you're bleeding, what's it like now, bitch! yells one illegal as blood drips from the man's face. Battle For the Republic ends with Alex Jones' infamous protest of Vicente Fox when he came to Austin to give awards to police for breaking federal laws by not arresting illegal aliens. Fox was forced to cut his speech short after Alex Jones bullhorned the truth about his role in destroying American sovereignty, making headlines across Texas. ~~~ You may learn more about Alex Jones, PrisonPlanet.com, and his various offerings, including Battle for the Republic *HERE *http://www.prisonplanet.com/article...le_republic.htm: http://www.prisonplanet.com/article...le_republic.htm And you can see a clip from his work, *Battle for the Republic* *HERE http://battle-for-the-republic.playz.it/*: http://Battle-For-The-Republic.playz.it
