[FairfieldLife] Female Demosthenes?
Just saw and heard a two-minute sample of Sarah's speech. Must say she might be nothing short of a female Demosthenes or Gaius Tullius Cicero!?

[FairfieldLife] Turq's Prediction for what to expect in the rest of the campaign
Ok, so now we all know that Sarah Palin, given a week of several-hours-a-day coaching by flack catchers and campaign speech consultants, can deliver a script with the best of them. Better than John McCain, in my estimation. And we know that the Republicans CAN'T run on their record. Even their strongest supporters know that the economy is in a shambles and that Iraq is an unwinnable black hole into which America will continue to throw money until it bankrupts them. So what do you DO, if you're Karl Rove and want to win the election? In my opinion, the key is to keep the daily polls close enough so that the rigged voting machines, when they give the election to McCain, are some- what believable. That can't happen unless the polls leading up to election day are somewhat 50-50, with no clear leader. I mean, if the polls for the month preceding the election show Obama leading McCain in all of the polls 70-30, then even Americans -- as provably stupid as they are -- are going to raise a ruckus when the rigged voting machines show the final totals at 51-49 for McCain. So what do you DO to keep the polls somewhat balanced? If you're Karl Rove, and you have the whole of the existing US executive branch willing to do whatever you tell them to to support McCain, you do what you've always done -- you create a strong CLIMATE OF FEAR. Americans have a proven history of swinging conservative when they are fearful. So to KEEP them fearful, all that George W. Bush and the rest of the Rove Political Machine (sometimes called the Executive Branch) have to do is to manufacture one international crusis after another. If the polls start to swing too far to Obama, manufacture an actual terrorist event. Voila. The polls stay balanced, and the rigged voting machines carry the election. If you think this is paranoid or a conspiracy theory, just watch. JUST as they manufactured the Georgia-Russia situation to benefit McCain, JUST as they manufactured the missile confrontation in Poland to benefit McCain, they will manufacture six or seven more crises before the election, to keep Americans FEARFUL. When Americans are FEARFUL, they have been trained to turn to braggarts and strutting faux soldiers and those who talk tough. They have been trained to ignore those who talk reason. And so the polls will stay somewhat 50-50, and the rigged voting machines and the hundreds of thousands of carefully scrubbed voter lists will do the rest. Now let me end by saying that I truly HOPE this all doesn't happen. I'd like to believe that America is still capable of having a fair election. But I don't think that's going to happen. I've been watching Karl Rove and his bag of dirty tricks for some time now, and based on his *past* history, this is what I think he'll do with America's future. And the saddest thing is that saying stuff like this, even if it turns out to be true and works out *exactly* as I am predicting, won't help a bit. Americans are so stupid that they would prefer to believe that they are so smart they can't be deceived by dirty tricks like this. But history proves otherwise, and I suspect it will again.

JUST as they manufactured the Georgia-Russia situation to benefit McCain, JUST as they manufactured the missile confrontation in Poland to benefit McCain, they will manufacture six or seven more crises before the election, to keep Americans FEARFUL. You know I didn't buy the idea that Bush-Cheney manufactured the Georgian war to boost McCain until Cheney turned up in Georgia with a $1Bn payoff. Now I'm not so sure. It certainly looks like it's a payback for doing some dirty work for the Bush-Cheney team (a.k.a Axis of Evil). My guess is that without the $1Bn of tax dollars the Georgians will start talking, hence the urgency. Why else would he rush there cash in hand just before the convention? Cheney does not do things like that for charity or because he feels the pain of all those people who've lost their homes and their loved ones. He does it solely for personal interest. They took more time to come up with cash for Katrina survivors. Latest news is that the Dutch have withdrawn their agents from Iran because they're expecting a US raid sometime soon.
[FairfieldLife] An interview of Benjamin Creme by Adele Ryan McDowell
Benjamin Creme At the end of July, I accompany my meditation leader into New York City to hear Benjamin Creme's lecture, The Time of Change has come. Are you ready? Benjamin Creme is a most interesting fellow. He is 85 years of age, with a peaceful, intelligent face and beautiful, wavy white hair. Creme was born in Scotland; today, he lives in London with his wife and works as an artist, esotericist and editor of Share International. Following the foot steps of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, Alice Bailey and Helena Roerich, Creme has worked to expand and update the Ageless Wisdom Teachings, which are an ancient body of spiritual teaching underlying all the world's religions. Mr. Creme has been a long-time student of the esoteric and personally trained by his Master (as in mastery over the physical, mental and astral bodies); their communication is telepathic. Since 1974, Creme's primary role has been that of messenger for the imminent return of the Maitreya, the World Teacher and his group, the Masters of Wisdom. Additionally, Creme has written 14 books, lectured world-wide and been interviewed extensively. And Creme does this all gratis; he receives no payment for his work. The night of the lecture, the auditorium is buzzing with excitement. The audience has more woman than men. Given the assorted languages I hear spoken, this is a fairly international crowd. I would guess there are close to 600 people in attendance. The lecture begins with a blessing from Maitreya that is given through Mr. Creme. During this blessing, I begin to get heated; I think I am having another hot flash. I flick my hair off the back of my neck; I wave my hands like fans in front of my face. My hands turn hot, really hot. I place them on my injured left knee, and my knee soaks up the heated energy. I find myself in an altered state for the next hour. I am listening, but keep closing my eyes, not so much out of fatigue, but as in maintaining the expanded state. The blessing is very powerful. Creme begins by saying he is presenting information for our consideration. He reports there are three simultaneous events that will transform the world. Briefly, they are: 1. There is a cosmic change in the solar system. Astronomically speaking, we are moving out of the Piscean Age and into the Aquarian Age. This signifies a move towards working through groups (vs. individuality of the Piscean Age) and synthesis. 2. There is the return to the earth of the esoteric spiritual hierarchy for the first time in 98,000 years; and, by this, Creme is referring to the Ascended Masters, some of whom will take physical form to guide us through current-day challenges. 3. There is the awakening of humanity, and this indicates a desire to create peace, end war, end terrorism, support justice, eradicate world hunger and create a global community predicated on the sharing of resources. Mr. Creme's talk is filled with facts and figures covering the political, economic and environmental situations. These global problems are spiritual, and he makes a compelling case: If this world is to survive, we must come together and share our resources. Everyone deserves food, housing, education and healthcare. The Interview Following the lecture, I had the opportunity to interview Mr. Creme for this article. I found him to be a very down-to-earth and patient; he was also authentic, clear and strong in relaying his information. Creme is fiercely adamant that we must share or die. He says it is the only solution for the salvation of the planet; there is no alternative. He allows that only sharing creates trust. This makes sense to me. There are too many rampant, interconnecting problems. It is time to look at the whole of planet earth. We all know that the tissue-thin butterfly wings beating on one part of the globe can influence what is happening in our very own back yards. Just think what those wings look like economically, environmentally and politically. I did have some specific concerns, however. I can agree with the majority of what he has to say, but I have two overriding difficulties. The first issue I have is with one of the core tenets, and that is the emergence of a World Teacher. Perhaps it's my own idiosyncratic reaction to my Catholic background, but this smacks of a messiah. When I asked Creme about this and why Maitreya needed to materialize in physical form, he said, He does not come to save; only we can save ourselves [Maitreya helps us] become the souls we essentially are. Creme allows nobody can do this, i.e., save our planet, for us. There is always free will. Further, the physical plane is dense; humanity needs a physical form (vs. subtle energies) to respond to before the planet destroys itself. My second objection, as you may well guess, has to do with the sexism of the language. Creme explained that the Masters use language specifically and sparingly. It is

[FairfieldLife] Levi Johnston's Convention Diary
By comedian Andy Borowitz, who just nails it: Dear Dude, There is some seriously WEIRD FUCKIN SHIT goin on up in here!!! So I get off the plane in Minnesota and the first thing I know some creepy old dude who smells like my grandma is gettin up in my grille. I am totally goin to give him a righteous beat-down and then I see it's that John McCain dude from TV who's always approvin his fuckin message. So I give him this look like, Don't get in my face or I will SERIOUSLY fuck you up, and dude looks back at me like, I've ate Viet Cong bigger than you for breakfast. So I like totally back off. Dude, if I'm gonna get fucked up no way am I gonna get fucked up by someone older than Larry King. Things go from weird to fuckin WEIRD AS ALL SHIT as I get like the totally evil eye from Bristol's old man Todd who looks like he wants to shove an oil pipeline up my fuckin ass. Shit, I said I'd marry her, what the fuck is wrong with you, dude??? Back off or I'll fuck you up. So I TOTALLY try to stay out of the way of Bristol's mom, who looks like she's gonna go medieval on my ass, like do me way worse than that trooper she got canned. For a minute I feel like I am TOTALLY GOING TO SHIT MYSELF, but than I think of thoughts to calm me down, like that time in middle school when I fucked that guy up who tried to fuck with me. Dude, the one thing I don't like understand at all is why Bristol's mom even WANTS to be fuckin vice-president and all. Right now, being Governor of Alaska and shit, she could totally invade Russia if she wanted to. It's that fuckin close. With all this crazy shit going on I didn't even like get a chance to talk to Bristol. I wanted to ask her how her summer was, shit like that, but every time I opened my mouth that McCain dude gave me another look like, You say word one and I will rearrange your fuckin face you fuckin piece of hockey shit. So I don't say a fuckin thing. Gotta go now. One thing's for sure, dude - when this week is over I am totally getting wasted! Peace out, L to the J

Well, that's true. Here in the midwest, we seem to have more candidates for Governor who are a little closer to being average citizens than you might have elsewhere. And it is the Governor's office that is often the stepping stone to the presidency. So perhaps in this way you might get someone who might be more grounded in middle class values. On the other hand, much of what Jefferson said is still applies today, so I'm not ready to say its outdated. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, feste37 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The federal government has got a lot bigger since those days.

We can call them the gooberville Republicans and when the election is over and Obama is in the White house maybe Palin can take what is left of the Republican Party with her back to Alaska. Lord knows that's where they belong. Numerous people, esp. women, I've spoken to see it as a return to a real America being run by real Americans, rather than by glorified CEO's. Sarah to them is a choice outside the good ole boys club and someone who is clearly not a member of the millionaires club: an average American.

[FairfieldLife] Evangelical Scientists Refute Gravity With New 'Intelligent Falling' Theory
Evangelical Scientists Refute Gravity With New 'Intelligent Falling' TheoryAUGUST 17, 2005 | KANSAS CITY, KS—As the debate over the teaching of evolution in public schools continues, a new controversy over the science curriculum arose Monday in this embattled Midwestern state. Scientists from the Evangelical Center For Faith-Based Reasoning are now asserting that the long-held "theory of gravity" is flawed, and they have responded to it with a new theory of Intelligent Falling.ENLARGE IMAGE Rev. Gabriel Burdett explains Intelligent Falling."Things fall not because they are acted upon by some gravitational force, but because a higher intelligence, 'God' if you will, is pushing them down," said Gabriel Burdett, who holds degrees in education, applied Scripture, and physics from Oral Roberts University.Burdett added: "Gravity—which is taught to our children as a law—is founded on great gaps in understanding. The laws predict the mutual force between all bodies of mass, but they cannot explain that force. Isaac Newton himself said, 'I suspect that my theories may all depend upon a force for which philosophers have searched all of nature in vain.' Of course, he is alluding to a higher power."Founded in 1987, the ECFR is the world's leading institution of evangelical physics, a branch of physics based on literal interpretation of the Bible.According to the ECFR paper published simultaneously this week in the International Journal Of Science and the adolescent magazine God's Word For Teens!, there are many phenomena that cannot be explained by secular gravity alone, including such mysteries as how angels fly, how Jesus ascended into Heaven, and how Satan fell when cast out of Paradise.The ECFR, in conjunction with the Christian Coalition and other Christian conservative action groups, is calling for public-school curriculums to give equal time to the Intelligent Falling theory. They insist they are not asking that the theory of gravity be banned from schools, but only that students be offered both sides of the issue "so they can make an informed decision.""We just want the best possible education for Kansas' kids," Burdett said.Proponents of Intelligent Falling assert that the different theories used by secular physicists to explain gravity are not internally consistent. Even critics of Intelligent Falling admit that Einstein's ideas about gravity are mathematically irreconcilable with quantum mechanics. This fact, Intelligent Falling proponents say, proves that gravity is a theory in crisis."Let's take a look at the evidence," said ECFR senior fellow Gregory Lunsden."In Matthew 15:14, Jesus says, 'And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.' He says nothing about some gravity making them fall—just that they will fall. Then, in Job 5:7, we read, 'But mankind is born to trouble, as surely as sparks fly upwards.' If gravity is pulling everything down, why do the sparks fly upwards with great surety? This clearly indicates that a conscious intelligence governs all falling."Critics of Intelligent Falling point out that gravity is a provable law based on empirical observations of natural phenomena. Evangelical physicists, however, insist that there is no conflict between Newton's mathematics and Holy Scripture."Closed-minded gravitists cannot find a way to make Einstein's general relativity match up with the subatomic quantum world," said Dr. Ellen Carson, a leading Intelligent Falling expert known for her work with the Kansan Youth Ministry. "They've been trying to do it for the better part of a century now, and despite all their empirical observation and carefully compiled data, they still don't know how.""Traditional scientists admit that they cannot explain how gravitation is supposed to work," Carson said. "What the gravity-agenda scientists need to realize is that 'gravity waves' and 'gravitons' are just secular words for 'God can do whatever He wants.'"Some evangelical physicists propose that Intelligent Falling provides an elegant solution to the central problem of modern physics."Anti-falling physicists have been theorizing for decades about the 'electromagnetic force,' the 'weak nuclear force,' the 'strong nuclear force,' and so-called 'force of gravity,'" Burdett said. "And they tilt their findings toward trying to unite them into one force. But readers of the Bible have already known for millennia what this one, unified force is: His name is Jesus."

You got to give God credit. Knows how to make a surgical outcome.

However, even when Yogi Pullavar performed his trick there was some questions into why he was hidden in the tent before and after actually levitating in the air. A recent video has surfaced that uncovers at least one method that Gurus use to Levitate in front of audiences and it may be the secret behind Indian Guru Levitation. - http://www.weirdasianews.com/2008/08/31/secret-behind-indian-guru-levit\ atio http://www.weirdasianews.com/2008/08/31/secret-behind-indian-guru-levit\ atio n-revealed Source From experiences of hopping in Yogic Flying, the power is so great that I expect that if it ever turned into actual levitation - if that is actually possible - then the power surrounding the individual would be so great that bystanders would likely puke up, faint, or go blank, in face of that incredible cosmic force. I don't think we will see anyone levitate unless the whole world literally and physically transforms at one and the same time. OffWorld

RE: [FairfieldLife] Re: Levitation
I asked the guy who sent me the levitation thing: Did you see the French guy do that? I believe it can happen and has happened, but it certainly hasn't turned out as MMY predicted and hoped it would. And he said... Hi Rick, ya, it was at the very beginning of all that. He was exploding during relaxing time, and some course leaders adviced him, to just sit down. There he came to rest, and suddenly got up. Maybe I was the only one, to see it. It was never talked about later. So I assume, the guy didnt notice it himself. Also I never got to talk to him. For me it was at that time a big push, and I could inspire people do really go on those courses. Stopped hopping myself in 1985. Than all my experiences got deeper and more cosmic. But true, didn`t came out as predicted. And M. himself gave completely nonsensical advice later. Like hopp higher etc. And all these olympics. So he hit at this first stage, but didn`t know how to teach the next stages. Like someone fooling on a piano. Sure there are some sounds. But to make it into fluidly stage-appearance, you have to get constant professional input. Besides all the hype about ancient mental abilties. Most of them are not applicable today. Like running 100 km during one night with breathing control, like they did in Tibet for the information system. No longer any substantial ability in the age of cars and helicopters.
[FairfieldLife] Idiocracy
Since Bhairitu brought it up again, I have to throw my hat into the geopolitical ring and vote a big thumbs up for this film, too. It's got some wise and witty things to say about the dumbed-down-ant-getting-dumber trend we see around us. The premise itself is hilarious. A couple of people *chosen* for their mediocrity and their place right at the center of the intel- lectual bell curve get put into cold storage, to be theoretically thawed out a year later. Cut to them waking up 500 years later, and finding them- selves the smartest people on the planet. Luke Wilson is absolutely *tremendous* as the Median Intelligence Connecticut Yankee thrown into King Duh's court. (And Terry Crews isn't half bad himself as King Duh himself (President Camacho). The storefronts of this future age are To Die For, and I won't spoil your enjoyment of what names of chains like Fuddruckers have 'evolved' into. Suffice it to say that at Carl's Jr. (still Carl's Jr.), the cashiers say, Enjoy your EXTRA BIG ASS FRIES! The dialog between the President and his fellow legis- lators sounds like this: President Camacho: Shit. I know shit's bad right now, with all that starving bullshit, and the dust storms, and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings. But I got a solution. South Carolina Representative #1: That's what you said last time, dipshit! South Carolina Representative #2: Yeah, I got a solution, you're a dick! South Carolina, what's up! That's why the riff I posted earlier about what must be going through Levi Johnston's head is so funny. It probably IS what's going through Levi Johnston's head. Take no heed of the title of this film. It is not for idiots. They wouldn't get it. It is intelligent, well-written, well-conceived, and has some of the smartest stuff to say about the world we live in as any film I have seen in recent years. Besides, it's really, really, really, really FUNNY. How many films can you say that about these days?

Like running 100 km during one night with breathing control, like they did in Tibet for the information system. No longer any substantial ability in the age of cars and helicopters. Lung-gom-pa Runners of Tibet The Marathon monks of Japan are quite similar to the Lung-gom-pa runners of old Tibet. There have been many records kept of these amazing running monks who appear to fly when they run. Across grassy plains, they seem to float apparently in a trance. They are said to travel nonstop for forty-eight hours or more and can cover more than 200 miles a day. Many are said to be faster than horses and at times they were used to convey messages across a country. In order to qualify as a lung-gom-pa runner, the trainee must first learn to master seated meditation. They had lots of emphasis on breath control and visualization techniques. They had to be able to imagine their own bodies as being light as a feather. Other techniques they had to master required them to watch a single star in the sky intently for days, never allowing themselves to be distracted. When they have attained this ability of moving meditation, they are able to fly like the wind. The term lung-gom is used for the kind of training that develops uncommon nimbleness and gives them the ability to make extraordinarily long tramps with amazing rapidity. They run at a rapid pace without ever having to stop for days. They do not run short, quick races but have the ability to go far distances in a quick amount of time. The Way of the White Clouds by Lama Anagarika Govinda explains that the word Lung, pronounced rlun, signifies the state of air as well as vital energy or psychic force. Gom means meditation, contemplation, concentration of mind and soul upon a certain subject. It has to do with the emptying of one’s mind of all subject-object relationships. This means that a lung-gom-pa runner is not a man who has the ability to fly through air, but one who can control his energy, re-channel and concentrate it in a new direction. These lung-gom-pa runners follow the ancient practice of pranayama. They follow the idea of completely anonymity and therefore no one is allowed to talk to them or see any part of their bodies. True lung-gom-pa runners are very rare for it is very difficult to really master their skills. In the book, Magic and Mystery in Tibet the author, Alexandra David_Neel, mentions how she encountered her first lung-gom-pa runner in Northern Tibet. This is a wild, grassy region where a few tribes live in tents. There are few people in this area, and when they spotted the lung-gom- pa runner, he was alone in a plain and was the first person they had spotted in more than ten days of traveling. Thinking the man to be lost and wandering on the plain, they were going to go retrieve him and take him with them. As they grew closer they realized he was traveling at a remarkably swift speed and was one of the so-called lung-gom-pa runners. David_Neel was told not to speak to the runner because they were not allowed to break their meditation while running. The God that lives within him would then escape and the runner would die. Just witnessing this was enough to amaze her though. By that time he had nearly reached us; I could clearly see his perfectly calm impassive face and wide-open eyes with their gaze fixed on some invisible far distant object situated somewhere high up in space. The man did not run. He seemed to lift himself from the ground, proceeding by leaps. It look as if he had been endowed with the elasticity of a ball and rebounded each time his feet touched the ground. The lung-gom-pa runner can also be called a Maheketang. The word mahe is from the fearless buffalo, which they had been know to ride. To aspire to be a part of Maheketang, there is a lot of training. This includes breathing exercises that are practiced during a seclusion period in complete darkness, which lasts three years and three months. The student must sit cross-legged on a large cushion. He inhales and allows his body to fill with air. Then holding his breath, he jumps up with legs still crossed using no hands to support him. He repeats this always remaining in the same position. This method enables them to become extremely light, almost weightless. The lung-gom method does not aim at training the disciple by strengthening his muscles, but by developing in him psychic states that make these extraordinary marches possible. Only after years of drilling oneself with different types of breathing exercises are they permitted to attempt the actual racing performance itself. When he finally reaches this point in time, he must completely concentrate on the walk, the in and out breathing

I'm surprised that with your apparent sensitivity to spiritual truth that you're allowing yourself to get suckered by the self-serving Republican propaganda machine. Here are some FACTS about the Polar Bear population: In areas where long-term studies are available, populations are showing signs of stress due to shrinking sea ice. Canada's Western Hudson Bay population has dropped 22% since the early 1980s. The declines have been directly linked to an earlier ice break-up on Hudson Bay. A long-term study of the Southern Beaufort Sea population, which spans the northern coast of Alaska and western Canada, has revealed a decline in cub survival rates and in the weight and skull size of adult males. Such declines were observed in Western Hudson Bay bears prior to the population drop there. Another population listed as declining is Baffin Bay. According to the most recent report from the Polar Bear Specialist Group, the harvest levels from Nunavut when combined with those from Greenland (which were thought to be much lower than they actually are) has resulted in this shared population being in a non-sustainable harvest situation, meaning the population is at great risk of a serious decline. The harvest is thought to be several times above what is sustainable. The IUCN Polar Bear Specialist Group reclassified the polar bear as a vulnerable species on the IUCN's Red List of Endangered Species at their most recent meeting (Seattle, 2005). They reported that of the 19 subpopulations of polar bears, five are declining, five are stable, two are increasing, and seven have insufficient data on which to base a decision. On May 14, 2008, the U.S. Department of the Interior reclassified the polar bear as a Threatened Species under the Endangered Species Act, citing concerns about sea ice loss. Canada and Russia list the polar bear as a species of concern. Some Native communities in Canada have been reporting increasing numbers of polar bears on land. Traditional hunters believe this indicates an increased population, although the increased presence on land may, in fact, be related to shrinking sea ice and changes in the bears' distribution patterns. Data is needed to understand the change. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service states, In the declining polar bear population of Canada's Western Hudson Bay, extensive scientific studies have indicated that the increased observation of bears on land is a result of changing distribution patterns and a result of changes in the accessibility of sea ice habitat. Climate change is the main threat to polar bears today. A diminishing ice pack directly affects polar bears, as sea ice is the platform from which they hunt seals. Although the Arctic has experienced warm periods before, the present shrinking of the Arctic's sea ice is rapid and unprecedented. http://www.polarbearsinternational.org/bear-facts/ AND From the US Government National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration: Technologically, researchers have been blessed in the last 30 years. Advances in satellite telemetry allowed researchers to follow individual bears over time and greatly enhanced our knowledge of movements and population bounds... In the past, one of the greatest saving graces for polar bear populations was the fact that their habitat was relatively pristine and secure from alteration... Today, polar bear populations are facing threats previously unprecedented during recorded history in the Arctic. Recent climate change scenarios based upon modeling of climate trend data predict that the Arctic region will experience major changes in the upcoming decades. On the most drastic end of the spectrum one model predicts that the Arctic basin may be void of ice within 50 years. Other models have shown that ice thickness has decreased by 40% during the past 30 years and the average annual extent of ice coverage in the polar region has diminished substantially, with an average annual reduction of over 1 million square kilometers. While the ultimate or progressively evolving effects of climatic change on polar bear populations is not certain, we do recognize that even minor climate changes could likely have a profound effect on polar bears. http://www.arctic.noaa.gov/essay_schliebe.html

Interestingly, there are quite a number of accounts of the Anasazi tribe of North America being able to do the same thing. They were reputed to be able to run hundreds of miles a day, in long, flying-like strides. Even more interestingly, there are tales from Tibet that Padmasambhava banished the old Bon shamans of Tibet who were trying to interfere with Buddhism by sending them across the great water. These tales are set in the exact same period in which the Anasazi stopped being nomadic and started building cave dwellings and buildings that have slightly- inward sloping outer walls, just like Tibetan buildings.

Most of them are not applicable today. Like running 100 km during one night with breathing control, like they did in Tibet for the information system. No longer any substantial ability in the age of cars and helicopters. Lung-gom-pa Runners of Tibet The Marathon monks of Japan are quite similar to the Lung-gom-pa runners of old Tibet. There have been many records kept of these amazing running monks who appear to fly when they run. Across grassy plains, they seem to float apparently in a trance. They are said to travel nonstop for forty-eight hours or more and can cover more than 200 miles a day. Many are said to be faster than horses and at times they were used to convey messages across a country. In order to qualify as a lung-gom-pa runner, the trainee must first learn to master seated meditation. They had lots of emphasis on breath control and visualization techniques. They had to be able to imagine their own bodies as being light as a feather. Other techniques they had to master required them to watch a single star in the sky intently for days, never allowing themselves to be distracted. When they have attained this ability of moving meditation, they are able to fly like the wind. The term lung-gom is used for the kind of training that develops uncommon nimbleness and gives them the ability to make extraordinarily long tramps with amazing rapidity. They run at a rapid pace without ever having to stop for days. They do not run short, quick races but have the ability to go far distances in a quick amount of time. The Way of the White Clouds by Lama Anagarika Govinda explains that the word Lung, pronounced rlun, signifies the state of air as well as vital energy or psychic force. Gom means meditation, contemplation, concentration of mind and soul upon a certain subject. It has to do with the emptying of one's mind of all subject-object relationships. This means that a lung-gom-pa runner is not a man who has the ability to fly through air, but one who can control his energy, re-channel and concentrate it in a new direction. These lung-gom-pa runners follow the ancient practice of pranayama. They follow the idea of completely anonymity and therefore no one is allowed to talk to them or see any part of their bodies. True lung-gom-pa runners are very rare for it is very difficult to really master their skills. In the book, Magic and Mystery in Tibet the author, Alexandra David_Neel, mentions how she encountered her first lung-gom-pa runner in Northern Tibet. This is a wild, grassy region where a few tribes live in tents. There are few people in this area, and when they spotted the lung-gom- pa runner, he was alone in a plain and was the first person they had spotted in more than ten days of traveling. Thinking the man to be lost and wandering on the plain, they were going to go retrieve him and take him with them. As they grew closer they realized he was traveling at a remarkably swift speed and was one of the so-called lung-gom-pa runners. David_Neel was told not to speak to the runner because they were not allowed to break their meditation while running. The God that lives within him would then escape and the runner would die. Just witnessing this was enough to amaze her though. By that time he had nearly reached us; I could clearly see his perfectly calm impassive face and wide-open eyes with their gaze fixed on some invisible far distant object situated somewhere high up in space. The man did not run. He seemed to lift himself from the ground, proceeding by leaps. It look as if he had been endowed with the elasticity of a ball and rebounded each time his feet touched the ground. The lung-gom-pa runner can also be called a Maheketang. The word mahe is from the fearless buffalo, which they had been know to ride. To aspire to be a part of Maheketang, there is a lot of training. This includes breathing exercises that are practiced during a seclusion period in complete darkness, which lasts

There are many parallels, some quite striking between native American wisdom and Tibetan and Mongolian traditions. My grandfather had a collection of various early Native translations and one was a translation of an oral tradition of the Delaware, which was memorized, of the journey of the soul in the afterlife and was a cycle of 49 days through the various levels of the multiverse--just like found in the Tibetan Bardo tantras. I've also seen motifs, particularly the turtle with the 3 x 3 magic square used in Tibetan astrology and Taoist Nine Star Chi, engraved on huge rocks in the mountains of Pennsylvania! When I was later initiated into a Native clan at a sacred place in the wilds of Pennsylvania, the medicine man used traditional methods for sweat lodge building. It was in the shape of a giant turtle as well.

The conservative Reich is taking advantage of American lack of intelligence again. They are not so interested in McCain they are interested in Palin with her along with McCain they will be insured to get the supreme courts they want as well as have someone who has very little inter racial expereince at all. The state of Alaska has nearly 670,000 residents. Of that 3% is African American 3500 are Jewish Residents, no latinos, the native Alaskans hate her because she has goen as far as taking their lands away to be used for drilling.

Duke University, Pennsylvania State University, and, geeze, the entire University of California system � all of which were in the 10 that get it last year � apparently don't get it anymore. So we picked up the phone and called Sierra. http://tinyurl.com/57fn48 from: http://chronicle.com/blogs/architecture/2350/how-does-sierra-magazine- come-up-with-its-list-of-greenest-colleges another green ranking review: http://www.earthportal.org/news/?p=1457 If MUM actually builds their completely offthegrid bldg, I'm sure they'll get a lot of attention regardless of their rank in lists. Probably the main reason MUM is not ranked is because list editors don't think their readers are interested in attending MUM -- many students may be influenced in their choice of schools by its green committment -- and of course, they're right for the time being. Doesn't MMY have a sustainable living PhD program? Lawson

Anyway.. The real deal is AIP is a racist segregationist organization. They believe in the sovereignty of their state and that the conservative way is right. If you go to their website you will find links to such groups as the southern party which believe in the sovereignty of 16 confederate states. So what is really going on? The conservative Reich is taking advantage of American lack of intelligence again. They are not so interested in McCain they are interested in Palin with her along with McCain they will be insured to get the supreme courts they want as well as have someone who has very little inter racial expereince at all. The state of Alaska has nearly 670,000 residents. Of that 3% is African American 3500 are Jewish Residents, no latinos, the native Alaskans hate her because she has goen as far as taking their lands away to be used for drilling. Also the national monuments she wants to take fro drilling. Bottom line her husband is listed as a member of the AIP for 10 years, he pastor is also, she was listed but they erased it. So guys we must not let her and Mccain win..
