[FairfieldLife] Re: Mother Meera, my neighbour
Hagen, I think we are on the same wave-length regarding these issues. A Mario Mantese week-end, which means just sitting in a hall in Zurich or Munchen and listening to him, costs about a 100 Euro. Lodging and food are not included. Easily some 2000 people attend, so you can make the account. Mario says that he donates a lot to Amnesty International and the like and I hope he does. His books are an inspiring read. So I wish him and his students the best but it is not my cup of tea. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Hagen J.

You are right, their might be lucent people in the world, whose presence is emanating something pleasant and for some even overwhelming. This I do not want to disavow.

And if some Mario Mantese indirectly says, it's only fruitful to sit in my presence, then he is a really good and successful sucker. But in the nights, while counting his immense income of the day, on the one hand he presumably will not stop laughing... .

Shree Maa told me once: 'spirituality is giving more than you take' which is true. On the other hand, we should be humble and open enough to acknowledge that darshan of a highly evolved being may provide some kind of 'positive contamination' of a subtle presence and quality of being. I must say that I had this kind of experience with Mother Meera. Since you belong to the German speaking world, you may be aware of 'Meister' Mario Mantese, a Swiss spiritual teacher who also gives darshans. He has a huge following in South Germany, Austria and Switserland. People pay large amounts of money to just be in the energy field of this 'cosmic master'. For me, it was not really worth the money but my wife liked the experience very much. While Mother Meera encourages her visitors to engage in spiritual practises, 'Meister M.' says they are all fruitless. Many people just like somebody else to take them to the light. I think that many so-called spiritual persons are basically lazy. It was Patanjali who said that only continuous practise without break could bring any real results...

Hardly a reliable source of info, from the start. Lawson, you did it AGAIN. There are *several* ways of seeing this quote, only one of which you pursued -- the one that you could use to portray Herbert Benson as a LIAR, and thus as unreliable. 1) The reporter could have gotten it wrong. 2) Benson could have started TM in the days since you last heard of him. 3) Benson *qualified* his statement by saying To the best of my knowledge... AND, the real bottom line is that you consider yourself somewhat up on the research on TM. If you think that Benson was incorrect in the best of his knowledge, all you had to do was post the citations of the *independent* (that is, studies in which none of the researchers were TMers) research that has been done on the ME. Right? You took none of these options, all of which were available to you. Instead, AGAIN, you went for the cheap shot of implying that Benson lied to the reporter, in an attempt to portray him as unreliable. Don't you SEE what you do here, Lawson? It's actually a kind of sickness on your part. You seemingly have to react to anyone who suggests a different way of seeing things than the way you see them as if they have nefarious motives, or as if they are lying. I'm using my last post of the week talking about this because I think it's possible that you really DON'T see your pattern here, and why your statements don't have the impact you seem to think they will have when you fire them off. They're mean-spirited, Lawson. You COULD have just posted the citations of the truly independent research on the ME, if it exists. My suspicion is that it DOESN'T exist, *exactly* as Dr. Benson suggests, and so that avenue wasn't open to you. Frustrated by this, you took the path of the cheap shot and implied YET AGAIN that a person who is less supportive of the TM claims than you want them to be is a LIAR, and thus unreliable. By now we're all hip to this harp on a nitpick to distract people from what is really being said technique. We've seen it FAR too often, almost always employed by the pro-TMers. In recent days you have used it to demonize Chopra, and now you're using it to demonize Herbert Benson. The nitpicks themselves don't really matter IMO; it's the *pattern* that's important. And that pattern is -- exactly as I said earlier -- that when you encounter someone who believes something different about TM, Maharishi, or the TMO than you do, your first knee-jerk impulse is to prove that person a liar, and/or unreliable. You're better than that, IMO. By continuing to do this, the only person you are proving unreliable is yourself.

The Synthovial Seven literature has online reports on the superiority of high molecular weights. To quote, Journal of Applied Nutrition, 2004 (whole study at http://www.hyalogic.com Consumers and health care professionals need to be aware of the different types of HA and their very large differences in properties. One source, hydrolyzed chicken sternal cartilage, is clearly unlike native HA, does not match the biological properties of native HA, and consequently should not be represented as HA to consumers on product labels. The online report gives detailed results on the products with various molecular weights (measured in Daltons); with HA being the highest. Do a quick google search to get the lowest price.

[FairfieldLife] Chopra / Mahapatra
From a friend. XXX was just here. We both agreed that Dr. Mahapatra is probably the Dr GM referred to in the email disputing what Chopra said about MMY in London, etc. He fits the description exactly. He was MMY's personal physician (or that's how he describes himself) and was the manager of the 8000 boy pundits and other things mentioned. We both agree that when he told us about Maharishi's heart attack and treatment in London, that he didn't seem to have all the details, he just knew it happened. Nor did it seem that he was there. He has lately been seeming to elevate himself by talking a lot about his time with Maharishi, but not disclosing that he was kicked out by Maharishi, nor revealing his long list of grievances with Maharishi and stories about Maharishi that he spoke about 2-3 years ago. Knowing how Maharishi and everyone around him kept everything so very secret at all times, (I know this from first hand experience in Switzerland in the 70's) it is most likely he just didn't know the true story. He is not an impressive person from an intellectual standpoint. Our sentiment is that Chopra is a far more reliable source. No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

[FairfieldLife] Re: 'NYT- Maharishi Effect Spreads Across U.S.'
I don't have a dog in this fight (A guy named Lawson versus Mr. Flame thrower), BUT as of 2001 Benson had not learned TM and indicted tacitly he had no intention of learning since he considers his technique the equivalent. He still provides seminars in which he teaches his technique. I base this on work my ex-business partner did on his website, and his attendance at his seminar and one-on-one conversations that they had about TM. A reasonable person speaking with Benson would come away understanding that Benson does not plan to ever practice TM. He has his own MA-based institute and no rocket science is required to read that site and understand that this guy doesn't do TM or know much about it.

Hardly a reliable source of info, from the start. Lawson, you did it AGAIN. There are *several* ways of seeing this quote, only one of which you pursued -- the one that you could use to portray Herbert Benson as a LIAR, and thus as unreliable. 1) The reporter could have gotten it wrong. 2) Benson could have started TM in the days since you last heard of him. 3) Benson *qualified* his statement by saying To the best of my knowledge... AND, the real bottom line is that you consider yourself somewhat up on the research on TM. If you think that Benson was incorrect in the best of his knowledge, all you had to do was post the citations of the *independent* (that is, studies in which none of the researchers were TMers) research that has been done on the ME. Right? You took none of these options, all of which were available to you. Instead, AGAIN, you went for the cheap shot of implying that Benson lied to the reporter, in an attempt to portray him as unreliable. Don't you SEE what you do here, Lawson? It's actually a kind of sickness on your part. You seemingly have to react to anyone who suggests a different way of seeing things than the way you see them as if they have nefarious motives, or as if they are lying. I'm using my last post of the week talking about this because I think it's possible that you really DON'T see your pattern here, and why your statements don't have the impact you seem to think they will have when you fire them off. They're mean-spirited, Lawson. You COULD have just posted the citations of the truly independent research on the ME, if it exists. My suspicion is that it DOESN'T exist, *exactly* as Dr. Benson suggests, and so that avenue wasn't open to you. Frustrated by this, you took the path of the cheap shot and implied YET AGAIN that a person who is less supportive of the TM claims than you want them to be is a LIAR, and thus unreliable. By now we're all hip to this harp on a nitpick to distract people from what is really being said technique. We've seen it FAR too often, almost always employed by the pro-TMers. In recent days you have used it to demonize Chopra, and now you're using it to demonize Herbert Benson. The nitpicks themselves don't really matter IMO; it's the *pattern* that's important. And that pattern is -- exactly as I said earlier -- that when you encounter someone who believes something different about TM, Maharishi, or the TMO than you do, your first knee-jerk impulse is to prove that person a liar, and/or unreliable. You're better than that, IMO. By continuing to do this, the only person you are proving unreliable is yourself.

--LONDON (AFP) - Hollywood actor Will Smith won a public apology and damages in London's High Court Friday over a false allegation that he had described the former Nazi leader Adolf Hitler as a good person. His lawyer Rachel Atkins told judge David Eady the deeply distressing libellous allegation by World Entertainment News Network Limited (WENN) had caused her client acute embarrassment. The claim arose after London-based WENN, which provides entertainment news and photographs around the world, published an article on December 23 last year entitled Smith: Hitler Was A Good Person, the court was told. Atkins said the article wholly misrepresents an interview her client gave to a Scottish newspaper and in fact he considered Hitler to be a vile and heinous man.

[FairfieldLife] Cancer-Inhibitory effects of Pot
from Life-enhancement.org Bad News for the DEA: More Evidence for the Cancer-Inhibitory Effects of Cannabinoids Matrix metalloproteinases are gelatinases that are importantly involved in the invasion of cancer cells. One of the important natural regulators of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) is TIMP, tissue inhibitors of MMPs. Researchers treated human cervical cancer (HeLa) cells with cannabinoids, an analog of the endogenous cannabinoid anandamide, as well as with Ä9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a constituent of cannabis; the cells were also exposed to the presence or absence of antagonists to cannabinoid receptors CB1 or CB2 or other receptors.1 At the lowest concentration tested, THC (0.01 ìM) caused a decrease in invasion that was accompanied by an increase in the expression of TIMP-1. Pretreatment of cells with antagonists of CB11 or CB2 reversed the stimulation of TIMP-1 expression and the suppression of cell invasion. The authors concluded, Increased expression of TIMP-1 mediates an anti-invasive effect of cannabinoids. Cannabinoids may therefore offer a therapeutic option in the treatment of highly invasive cancers. Now, if only the cannabinoids could offer a therapeutic option for inhibiting highly invasive federal agencies like the DEA, EPA, and FDA. Reference Ramer and Hinz.

[FairfieldLife] Enhanced mental physical performance with L-Carnitine
from http://www.life-enhancement.com It's Never Too Late! Improved Mental and Physical Performance in Centenarians Treated with L-Carnitine A randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted in 66 centenarians who were suffering from the onset of fatigue with even slight physical activity. They were divided into two groups, in which individuals received either 2 grams of L-carnitine or placebo once daily for 6 months. They were tested for changes in total fat mass, total muscle mass, serum triacylglycerols, total cholesterol, HDL- cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), activities of daily living, and a 6-minute walking corridor test. The results showed that those receiving the L-carnitine achieved a reduction of total fat mass, an increase in total muscle mass, and increased physical and cognitive activity by reducing fatigue and improving cognitive functions. For example, before L-carnitine treatment, the walking distance in meters was 10.2 ± 3.8, whereas after treatment the walking distance was significantly longer at 14.6 ± 3.9 meters. There was no significant difference between the before and after for those receiving placebo. Total fat-free mass in those receiving L-carnitine increased significantly from 35.1 ± 3.2 kg to 38.9 ± 3.9 kg. The MMSE improved significantly in the L-carnitine treated group but not in the placebo group. We take L-acetylcarnitine, which is a more bioavailable form of L- carnitine, being better able to pass through cell membranes. Reference Malaguarnera et al.
