You are such an uneducated fuck Turq. YOu are talking about 1966 and 67
!...Lol, what a joke.

The British (on the BBC)  DISCOVERED and promoted Jimi Hendrix
BEFORE he was even known in the USA.

And have you never heard of the Beatles? The first album was all over
the airwaes in Britian in 1963.

In June 1965, Queen Elizabeth II appointed the four Beatles "Members of
the Order of the British Empire", MBE. They were nominated by the Prime
Minister, Harold Wilson.

Here is Top of the Pops from 1964 on...includeing Hedrix in 1967.

You are such a turd Vaj. No-one hardly bothers to respond to you anymore
because you have nothing interesting to say. Your stench stinks the

your posts are just exprssions of an unenlightened turd of a man.

And how about the horrific karma that will rain down on those who stop
the Chinese, Indians and others, from controlling birth rates, and
thereby in turn causing the total destruction of a whole planet and
murdering most of its people because there are no resources left.

THAT is a MASSIVE karmic responsibility for the anti-abortioninsts.

[FairfieldLife] Bush-enomics - A Decade With No Income Gains



A Decade With No Income Gains - By David Leonhardt - New York Times


The typical American household made less money last year than the typical 
household made a full decade ago.

To me, that's the big news from the Census Bureau's annual report on income, 
poverty and health insurance, which was released this morning. Median household 
fell to $50,303 last year, from $52,163 in 2007. In 1998, median income was 
$51,295. All these numbers are adjusted for inflation.

In the four decades that the Census Bureau has been tracking household income, 
there has never before been a full decade in which median income failed to 
rise. (The previous record was seven years, ending in 1985.) Other Census data 
suggest that it also never happened between the late 1940s and the late 1960s. 
So it doesn't seem to have happened since at least the 1930s.

And the streak probably won't end in 2009, either. Unemployment has been rising 
all year, which is a strong sign income will fall.

What's going on here? It's a combination of two trends. One, economic growth in 
the current decade has been slower than in any decade since before World War 
II. Two, inequality has risen sharply, so much of the bounty from our growth 
has gone to a relatively small slice of the population.

Catherine Rampell has more details on the Census report, including some good 
charts.

Charts here: http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/09/10/poverty-rate-rises/

Well, some of us are women, actually.

I don't have much objection to instant gratification
as long as it's not so instant as to omit proper
protection against pregnancy (and STDs).

[FairfieldLife] Good news on swine flu vaccine

Only one shot will be required for adults, and it
will take only eight to ten days to provide
protection, rather than two weeks, according to the
latest studies.

This is excellent news, because it means more people
will get the shots--many wouldn't bother if two were
required (on top of the seasonal flu shot), or
wouldn't come back for the second; and the protection
will kick in much more quickly than originally thought.
With two shots, it would have been at least a month
for protection to become effective.

Also, the available vaccine will cover twice as many
people.

Overall, it means fewer people will get the flu
even if they don't get the vaccine, because there
will be more "herd immunity." More people protected
by the vaccine means fewer people to spread the flu
to those who aren't.

IF the virus doesn't mutate and become more virulent--
so far it has not--we may not be in for as bad a time
as we thought.

Agreed. The laws of karma are unfathomable. 
Great is the human discrimination and intelligence ! 
Unfortunately all the bored and lazy people of the world do know one thing that 
gives them instant gratification; sex. 

The ability to evaluate the situation and perhaps say no, the ability to 
transcend the animal inside is grossly underrated in sosciety today. We are 
men, not animals after all.

Because the process of requiring proof of citizenship
or legal residency before providing care, in order to
weed out those not entitled to it, would put an
unnecessary burden on those who *are* entitled to it.

Illegal aliens can already buy insurance. They'd
certainly benefit from the *reform* measures along
with everybody else, but to say they shouldn't is
like saying they shouldn't benefit from the
improvement in air quality provided by the Clean
Air Act.

And if they aren't allowed to get health insurance,
we'll have to subsidize their care at emergency
rooms.

Here's a great cover of one of Richard's songs
by another underappreciated guitarist:

She made this song famous. Her recorded version is probably the most  
widely appreciated RT song ever (sadly).

I remember first seeing her before her "rise to fame" at an "No Nukes"  
concert. But even back then Bonnie was well established and well- 
toured among music fans and songwriters.

Maharishi cares about souls, not objects.

Bullshit. The "Maharishi" was addicted to objects--so much so that he  
spent the bulk of his life in touch with relative objects and events:  
an object referral life. Thus he clearly was a "bhogi" (a lover of  
object referral--meetings all day long, Hindu extremist executive- 
style, with a cascading line of "people" and "things"), not a  
"yogi" ("consciousness referral", i.e. "pure consciousness" referral,  
introspective a lot of the time, spontaneously or formally). He cared  
little for anyone other than his own narcissistic little self.

IMO, sur bien.

Mike is right when he says that somebody has to pay something, in  
this case the soul who did the abortion will have to pay something  
back to Nature. But it will be a small thing compared to having a  
child and not being able to care for it, feed it properly, or having  
a child not growing up in a positive enviorment. In fact, the mother  
that has an abortion could, karmic wise, definately be on the  
positive end of the track.

The house is unimportant when not inhabitated; chandas is always  
basically uninteresting. Better for the soul to wait a little for a  
better family, better cicumstances. It could take Nature a fracture  
of a second to adjust the incoming soul to another family on another  
Continent.

There is a great and wonderful flexibility in Nature which is  
basically Love.

We'll all experience that wonder and Love when we either pop or pop  
off.

Either way; enjoy !

It's considered a given that any Tibetan yogi will have perfected the  
phowa (saṃkrānti), the transference of consciousness, early on. It  
can usually be accomplished in a 1-2 week retreat. Then one is no  
longer a slave to a "body".


At the beginning of the retreat, the retreat master will shave a place  
on the head eight finger-widths up from the 'place between the  
eyebrows' and after a couple of days it will be checked for signs of  
physical opening. Usually within a week or so, most will be opened.  
Then a stalk can be planted. Those that don't open can be 'helped  
open' by a group gathering, with the 'stuck' person in the center, and  
those in the circle doing the practice all together.


There was a nice diary of this from a gentleman in Taiwan or China,  
from the early last century, posted previously that detailed his  
experience of the opening. Very beautiful.


The nice thing isn't just the clarity and freedom from the body you  
gain, but the ability also to help others. I've done the phowa for  
people who've just died and I've done it for dogs and cats as well. It  
definitely "works". ;-)





Late in my life, I practised Pho-wa, an esoteric Tibetan technique for  
rebirth in the Pure Land, which had not been introduced in China  
before. The teaching is based on the principle that when someone who  
is due to be reborn in the Western Paradise is dying, his  
consciousness will leave through the Aperture of Brahma (in the top of  
his skull): thus one is taught to repeat mantras to open this aperture  
and to practise regularly so that one can follow a similar path at the  
moment of death. In 1933, when I was sixty-one, I had already received  
this Dharma from the Tibetan guru No Na who had urged me to practise  
it at home (which I did) unsuccessfully. In the spring of 1937, when I  
was sixty-five, I heard that the guru Sheng Lu was teaching this  
Dharma in Nanking and that all those participating in the four  
previous meetings had succeeded in opening the Aperture of Brahma. As  
the fifth and last meeting was soon to take place at the Vairochana  
temple, I went to Nanking and put my name down to attend it.


I arrived on the first of April to receive the initiation, which was  
very much more complicated than the one previously given me by the  
guru No Na. I was taught a vajra mantra as the first step in the  
practice. It was not a long one but the method of visualization was  
very elaborate. It had to be repeated one hundred thousand times, but  
since I had only a few days at my disposal, I did so as many times as  
I could.


After the first day, I stayed in a lodging house and closed the door  
of my room to concentrate on repeating the mantra. Before midday on  
the ninth, I had done so sixty-two thousand times, and in the  
afternoon I returned to the Vairocana temple where thirty-nine of us  
assembled. I was told that this was considerably more than at any  
ofthe other four gatherings. The guru shaved a small hairless circle  
in the centre of my crown so that later he could sec if the Aperture  
of Brahma had opened in order to plant a stalk in it.


On the tenth we began to isolate ourselves for meditation. In the main  
hall an altar was set up with all its majesty, before which the guru  
led us to practise the Dharma. Every day there were four sessions each  
lasting two hours. The practice consisted in visualizing Amitayus  
Buddha sitting on the top of the head and in imagining in the body a  
blue psychic tube which was red inside and stretched from the crown of  
the head to the perineum. Within this tube in the lower belly below  
the navel was a bright pearl which rose (up it) to the heart (centre).  
(When the pearl was visualized in that centre) I shouted the mantric  
syllable HIK, forcing up the pearl which followed the sound and thrust  
through the Aperture of Brahma to reach the heart of Amitayus. Then I  
whispered the syllable GA which caused the pearl to descend from the  
Buddha's heart and return through the opening to my lower belly. At  
each session we shouted with such force that we became hoarse and  
exhausted, and dripped perspiration although it was still very cold.  
Seeing that we were tired, the guru chanted in Sanskrit and exhorted  
us to follow his example and relax. This we did four or five times in

I was late in discovering Richard Thompson, 
as I've been late in discovering so many 
good things. I'm making up for it now.

I love the way he balances lyric, melody 
and rhythm when he crafts a song. That 
balance has been hard in the rock era (as 
opposed to the Songbook era, which I feel 
survives because of that balance).

Two favorites:

According to the Bhagavad Gita, the Soul doesn't
die when the body dies. It goes on to reincarnate
at another time, in another body. The Gita is a 
refutation of Buddhist pacifism. The author wanted
to demonstrate the ideal of militarism. That's why
you see Arjuna in a great battle. But, in order to
justify killing, the author had to make the point
that the 'Soul' isn't really killed, only the 
material body. But the Buddhists said this wasn't 
true, and that further, there was no 'Soul' in the 
first place - there is only causation. And any
action that is taken will result in an equal and
opposite reaction - the law of action and reaction.
So, even if there is a Soul that doesn't die, it's 
still wrong to destroy any life form, because of 
the law of Karma.

The "lie" is, in fact, substantially true because 
Democrats have defeated all efforts to include an

aliens from being covered. 

So, the American guest workers would be covered by 
the Dem health insurance plan. How would you know 
if anyone was eligible to be on the plan without 
some enforcement mechanism?

[FairfieldLife] SCOTUS set to end prohibition on corporate finance in campaigns


Corporate Democracy


  [600]


SCOTUS set to end prohibition on corporate finance in campaigns

Yesterday, the nation's attention was riveted on the president's
effort to get healthcare reform back on track. Meanwhile, over at the
Supreme Court, an historical hearing was taking place-a hearing that, at
the very least, rivals healthcare in its importance to the nation.

This was a hearing that threatens to remove  a century of limitations
placed on corporations when it comes to pouring money into the coffers
of candidates for public office.

Most Americans believe that corporations already spend zillions of
dollars buying off our politicians- and they do. However, these
companies are not permitted to make "direct" contributions to
candidates for office. Corporate executives and employees can make
contributions up to the legal limit but that doesn't really account
for all that much. What really matters is the money the corporations
contribute to political action committees (PACs), money which can be a
huge help at election time so long as it is not spent directly endorsing
a candidate. Imagine what it would be like if the corporations were to
suddenly be permitted to make direct contributions to political
candidates?

You may not have to imagine this for very long as it will, in all
likelihood, soon become reality  just in time to create a spending
frenzy during next year's mid-term elections.

Here are the details of the case, Citizens United v. Federal Election
Commission:

The group, Citizens United, released a 90-minute documentary film
"Hillary: The Movie" in January 2008 when Hillary Clinton, then
a New York senator, was running for president.

Citizens United released the movie to theaters and for store sales on
DVD. The group also wanted to broadcast the movie on cable television
video-on-demand but that was rejected by a federal court.

The court ruled the movie clearly was intended to influence people to
vote against Clinton and thus was covered by the campaign finance
law's ban on the airing of ads or "electioneering
communications" right before an election.
  VIA REUTERS


What made this hearing particularly unusual is the fact that the Court
already listened to arguments in this case back in March. In an
extremely rare move, the court asked for the case to be re-argued to
focus on the constitutionality of limiting corporations' independent
spending during campaigns for the presidency and Congress.

That is a very clear signal that the Supremes are getting ready to do
something big. We already know that Justices Scalia, Thomas and Kennedy
have said that they would vote to overrule past decisions that upheld
federal and state restrictions on corporate election spending. It is
certainly not unreasonable to expect that Roberts and Alito might join
them.

The odds suggest that a seismic chance is coming in how we finance
political campaigns. For supporters of McCain-Feingold and other efforts
to get the corporate money out of politics, we are about to take a
giant,  game-changing step backwards.

Subject: [FairfieldLife] The Boat That Rocked

In recent days I have railed on the Internet about 
nostalgia on the one hand as sappy and uninteresting
and recapitulation on the other hand as often very 
interesting indeed. So it is with some ambivalence 
that I find myself reviewing a film set in 1966 and 
1967. But I do so because this film clearly demon-
strates the difference between indulging in nostalgia 
for its own sake and recapitulating one's past to 
learn things from it that we missed the first time 
around. 

"The Boat That Rocked" is about one of the most profound
clashes of culture I have experienced in my lifetime,
the emergence of Rock 'n Roll as one of the primal
forces of nature and of change. In the United States,
by 1966 and 1967 the war was over and Rock 'n Roll 
had won. But in Great Britain the forces of the status
quo were still holding on tighter than a politician's
ass stretched over a barn door. They were not *about*
to let go of the airwaves and let this Rock 'n Roll
filth take over. 

The result was that while America's airwaves were quickly
becoming "all rock, all the time," the government-owned
radio stations of England played only 45 minutes of pop
music a day. In 1966 and 1967. Those of you who are old
enough, think of the music that was coming out then. 
Music that was *not* being heard on British airwaves.

Nature abhors a vacuum. Into this one stepped pirates.
They set up shop in boats offshore and broadcast the
dreaded Rock 'n Roll towards Britain and other backwards
countries in Europe 24/7. And they did it from outside
any country's territorial waters. 

The British status quo-ians considered this a declaration
of war, and did everything short of sinking these pirate 
vessels to get rid of them. "The Boat That Rocked" is a 
story set on one of those boats. What makes it a true 
recapitulation and not just nostalgia is that it's really 
a neat story. Carlos Castaneda once said that the most 
important choice a seeker could make was deciding which
path to take in life. He recommended "a path with heart." 
This is a film made by folks who walk the path of heart.

Dream cast. Bill Nighy, Kenneth Branagh, Philip Seymour 
Hoffman, Rhys Ifans, Gemma Arterton, January Jones, and 
a host of actors I didn't know but hopefully will in the
future. Tremendous script by writer-director Richard 
Curtis (directed "Love Actually," wrote "Blackadder," 
"Mr. Bean," "Notting Hill," and "Bridget Jones' Diary").

And that's not to mention the music. One of the things
I liked best about this film is that the music not only
took me back to that era, it reminded me how that music
was the soundtrack to *my* movie back *in* that era. I'd
be pinin' away for some girl named Marianne who'd broken
my heart, and Leonard Cohen's "So Long, Marianne" would
come on, and his words would become the words of my own
movie, saying what I was too brokenhearted to say myself. 
That's what Curtis does in this movie. The words of the 
songs provide as much of the dialogue as the actors do. 

It's really a wonderful movie if you lived through that
era. It might even be a wonderful movie for you if you
didn't. That too may define the difference between 
nostalgia and recapitulation.

But the President didn't say anything like that, did 
he? So I guess he was lying all over the place. Why 
can't he just tell the truth?

In his Portmouth, New Hampshire speech, Obama said 
that '46 million Americans' didn't have any medical 
insurance. In his speech last night, Obama said '30 
million Americans' didn't have any health insurance.

So, it seems that these missing 9.6 milllion Americans  
are the guest workers, the non-citizens, and, in most 
of cases, are the illegal immigrants. 

Apparently the Democrats have defeated all efforts 
to include an enforcement mechanism that would 
prevent illegal aliens from being covered by the
Dem health care insurance plan.

Maybe you should have recorded the speech, because
it looks like you missed out on the whole Joe
Wilson episode, calling the president out on his 
lie. You and John got all mixed up again thinking
that Joe Wilson didn't have a point to make.

[FairfieldLife] Wilson Dem challenger raises $400k off "you lie"



Wingnut Rep. Joe Wilson's 2010 opponent has received more than $400,000 in 
contributions:

2:57 P.M. The DCCC now puts the figure at $400,000. This could be heading 
toward a million, and the pace is quickening.

1:59 p.m. Wow. Over $350,000 in about 18 hours from 10,000 donors. This is 
definitely in Tinklenberg territory. Miller has raised nearly as much in less 
than 24 hours as he did in all of 2008.

11:20 a.m.: The number is now up to $200,000 from 5,000 contributors. Miller 
raised just $390,000 for his whole 2008 campaign, self-funding another $235,000.


--Rob Miller, Rep. Joe Wilson's (R-S.C.) Democratic opponent in 2010, raised 
$100,000 in the eight hours after Wilson's outburst during President Obama's 
health care speech last night, according to an informed source. That figure 
comes from 3,000 individual contrbutions...

Wilson defeated Miller 54-46 in 2008, so the money could go to something 
worthwhile. We'll keep an eye on whether the funds keeps rolling in.

You embrace a lot of silly stuff that I have never criticized because it's 
harmless, like that stuff about crop circles, which is pulled off exclusively 
by drunken hillbilly pranksters. But sungazing is a real threat, perpetrated by 
a truly evil and cynical individual who, incredibly, claims not to eaten 
anything but sunlight (and the odd cup of tea) since 1995. If you want to put 
your eyes in the hands of a monster, that's your problem, but I felt that it 
would be right to point out how brainless that choice is.

Yes, we should have health care programs like much of the rest of the 
world has.  That's what your taxes should be going for rather than 
welfare payments to the Military Industrial Complex.

So, you thought the speech was about health

universal health care? 

Who wants to pay any insurance? Shouldn't 
free health care be a citizen's right? Why 
should you have to pay an insurance company 
just so you can see a doctor? 

Do you honestly think that any lawyer or 
politician in Washington wants to help you
get any free health care?

"The simple truth is that for the single 
biggest advocacy bloc pushing the health 
care bill, your health is the furthest thing 
from their mind. 

Their objective is to use the bill to make 
it easier to unionize health care workers, 
which certainly won't enhance patient care, 
and to advance the larger goals of organized 
labor as a whole, and use the resulting debt 
from the administration to push through the 
noxious 'card check' bill through despite 
public opposition..."

[FairfieldLife] Leaving the body at will

2009-09-10 Thread yifuxero

That's one of the goals of Surat Shabda Yoga.
Kirpal Singh says:

Whoever can tell us how to leave the body at will and go into the Beyond can 
give us an experience of how to do it, by demonstration. Then, by regular 
practice, we must learn how to die at will. If we once know how to leave the 
body, then our whole angle of vision will be changed. The Master gives us some 
experience on the first day of Initiation of how to rise above the body, of how 
to open the inner eye; He gives us something to start with. Then, by day to day 
regular practice, we learn to die. 

Regular practice makes us regular. If you know I leave the body daily, when the 
time of death comes, you will go willingly. So I have now, for instance; I am 
going back; I have no fear of going back. 

Unless a man learns how to leave the body at will, how can he enter the Kingdom 
of God? It is within you. "The Kingdom of God cannot be had by observation; It 
is within you." 

This is the first step; it begins, you might say where the ABC of Para vidya, 
the knowledge of the Beyond, starts. This is a religion above all religions of 
rites, rituals, and dogmas. It is one for all. Plutarch tells us, "The soul 
that is initiated into the mysteries of the Beyond has the same experience that 
it has at the time of leaving the body at death." So, this is perhaps a very 
wonderful thing: people are afraid of dying, and they are willingly coming and 
asking, "Master, tell us how to die!" There is no question of being a Hindu or 
a Mohammedan or of belonging to any other religion. Those are outward 
formsbadges we are carrying. But this fate awaits us all, without exception. 
This is what the Masters teach. This is one thing that awaits everyone; and if 
you do not learn how to leave the body, you must be in the agony.

[FairfieldLife] The Boat That Rocked

2009-09-10 Thread TurquoiseB

In recent days I have railed on the Internet about 
nostalgia on the one hand as sappy and uninteresting
and recapitulation on the other hand as often very 
interesting indeed. So it is with some ambivalence 
that I find myself reviewing a film set in 1966 and 
1967. But I do so because this film clearly demon-
strates the difference between indulging in nostalgia 
for its own sake and recapitulating one's past to 
learn things from it that we missed the first time 
around. 

"The Boat That Rocked" is about one of the most profound
clashes of culture I have experienced in my lifetime,
the emergence of Rock 'n Roll as one of the primal
forces of nature and of change. In the United States,
by 1966 and 1967 the war was over and Rock 'n Roll 
had won. But in Great Britain the forces of the status
quo were still holding on tighter than a politician's
ass stretched over a barn door. They were not *about*
to let go of the airwaves and let this Rock 'n Roll
filth take over. 

The result was that while America's airwaves were quickly
becoming "all rock, all the time," the government-owned
radio stations of England played only 45 minutes of pop
music a day. In 1966 and 1967. Those of you who are old
enough, think of the music that was coming out then. 
Music that was *not* being heard on British airwaves.

Nature abhors a vacuum. Into this one stepped pirates.
They set up shop in boats offshore and broadcast the
dreaded Rock 'n Roll towards Britain and other backwards
countries in Europe 24/7. And they did it from outside
any country's territorial waters. 

The British status quo-ians considered this a declaration
of war, and did everything short of sinking these pirate 
vessels to get rid of them. "The Boat That Rocked" is a 
story set on one of those boats. What makes it a true 
recapitulation and not just nostalgia is that it's really 
a neat story. Carlos Castaneda once said that the most 
important choice a seeker could make was deciding which
path to take in life. He recommended "a path with heart." 
This is a film made by folks who walk the path of heart.

Dream cast. Bill Nighy, Kenneth Branagh, Philip Seymour 
Hoffman, Rhys Ifans, Gemma Arterton, January Jones, and 
a host of actors I didn't know but hopefully will in the
future. Tremendous script by writer-director Richard 
Curtis (directed "Love Actually," wrote "Blackadder," 
"Mr. Bean," "Notting Hill," and "Bridget Jones' Diary").

And that's not to mention the music. One of the things
I liked best about this film is that the music not only
took me back to that era, it reminded me how that music
was the soundtrack to *my* movie back *in* that era. I'd
be pinin' away for some girl named Marianne who'd broken
my heart, and Leonard Cohen's "So Long, Marianne" would
come on, and his words would become the words of my own
movie, saying what I was too brokenhearted to say myself. 
That's what Curtis does in this movie. The words of the 
songs provide as much of the dialogue as the actors do. 

It's really a wonderful movie if you lived through that
era. It might even be a wonderful movie for you if you
didn't. That too may define the difference between 
nostalgia and recapitulation.

That makes the most sense of anyone yet. There is no birth and death.
That is why all over the far east and other cultures they talk of
'dropping the body'. So, if that's true the same must be true at birth.
Consciousness moves and the body is formed for it, but the body does not
dictate its source, course, or goal.

I'm not sure we had a joint session of Congress.  We have once again
in American history a party (Republican) which is dying and needs to
re-invent itself.  The partisanship, the rudeness, the snubsThe
Republicans are showing that they are southern, rural, uneducated,
redneck and dwindling.  They are in their death throes.  This is very
difficult because increasingly the big money, the lobbyists don't have
a place to go.  Some say the disorder and chaos are the signs of the
break up of the United States of America.  I say it's just the demise
of a party.  Even my extremely red state is starting to have a hard
time of it, keeping its party in place.  Come the next mid-term
elections, there are going to be some problem with the electorate.
That the Republicans had to be so rude to the President of All the
People shows they are in very deep trouble.

And they and Little Limp Willy Tex deserve to be in very deep trouble.

Maybe you should re-read my post again.  

Who said the soul-monad could enter the body at 
any point? Who said that there was a soul-monad? 

If there was a soul-monad, there must be many of 
them. But what if there was only one soul-monad? 

If there are many soul-monads, one for each body, 
then you would have a plurality of soul-monads. 

If there was but one single soul-monad, there 
would be only the one Soul. 

So, if there is only one single Soul then if you 
kill it, then you've killed your own Soul. 

The materialist would say that there's no soul 
to kill and no killing at all, at any time, since 
there's only material substances and energy, 
which is never created or destroyed. And there's
no moral reciprocity.

The historical Buddha said there was no soul, 
but he nevertheless objected to killing. Why 
would the Buddha object to killing a non-existent 
soul? 

Because there is only Karma - action and reaction,
which is present on the physical as well as the
mental plane - there are morals.

It's a categorical imperative for the Buddha to do 
no harm to any living thing, not because it has a 
soul-monad, or not, but because materialism leads 
to nihilism, which breeds unwarranted destruction 
of life, war, and needless devastation. 

So, when in doubt, it's better to go by the 
'Golden Rule'. But you already knew that.

Took the life before or after the being was born?
Would being aborted as a fetus be the appropriate
karmic consequence of having taken the life of
somebody who had actually been born?

Krishna says in the Gita, "Unfathomable is the
course of action [karma]."

You can come up with any number of different
possible scenarios involving the karma inherent
in any situation, but I don't think they're all
that helpful, since we're only guessing. So when
we try to guess the karma of abortion, when we
don't even know if souls *exist*, let alone when
they enter the body or what happens to them after
an abortion if they do exist, we're piling
guesswork upon guesswork.

Seems to me the whole subject of the karma of 
abortion is a bunch of abstractions. What we
should be dealing with is the consequences in
the real world that we can observe and measure,
such as the consequences of forcing women to
carry unwanted pregnancies to term.

[FairfieldLife] Wingnut Joe Wilson (R-SC) Yells Out "You Lie!" to Obama in speech



Another Southern redneck...

Staying Classy:  Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina yelled out "You lie!" when 
President Obama reassured Americans that his health care reform plan did not 
include illegal aliens. 

Politico:

"There are also those who claim that our reform effort will insure illegal 
immigrants. This, too, is false - the reforms I'm proposing would not apply to 
those who are here illegally," President Obama said.

A loud voice from the Republican side of the hall answered, "Lie" -- my 
colleague Glenn Thrush reports it was Rep. Joe Wilson (R - S.C.) -- drawing a 
second "It's not true," from Obama and a shake of Nancy Pelosi's head.

The bill is designed to exclude those immigrants, though some Republicans have 
called for more explicit bans on funding for illegal immigrants and have 
claimed the bill will funnel money to illegal immigrants.

FactCheck.org described those claims as "false" and noted that one version of 
the legislation already includes an explicit bar on federal funding for illegal 
immigrants' health care.

= =

 Can you imagine the uproar if a Democrat had so little class as to do that 
during one of Bush's speeches? 

To be fair, Wilson was condemned on both sides of the aisle. Even McCain said 
that Wilson should apologize.

There is an http://act.ly/iq petition going viral, asking @CongJoeWilson to 
apologize for yelling "YOU LIE" in President Obama's speech.

to Miller's ActBlue page here.

UPDATE #2: Wow. In less than two hours, challenger Rob Miller has raised over 
$11K. 

Clearly quaking in his boots at the disgust leveled at him, Wilson has issued 
the following apology: 


"This evening I let my emotions get the best of me 
when listening to the President's remarks regarding 
the coverage of illegal immigrants in the health care 
bill. While I disagree with the President's statement, 
my comments were inappropriate and regrettable. I 
extend sincere apologies to the President for this 
lack of civility."

[FairfieldLife] When does the soul enter the body? --may i ask a question?sez Meow

--   


I was in pain 
I was having dificulties ,chronic

eventually came to a better understanding of these
and am more well 

But during-

there was one time in particular;
in alot of pain
I would pass out on occasion
cold face
sweats

I was trying to get through this pain and I went out from the Back Of My Head
I was above my body
Looking down on my slumped body
objectively
feeling nothing

I was thinking assessing the situation in the air above
and then very quickly
I was sucked back in the back of my head INTO my face 
as a Mask

i remember the feeling of slipping back into from the back into my face as a 
mask, false feeling, then it felt melded together, like nothing happened

I always thought after that, that i must come out at death out the back of my 
head
and even told my children about this
that i thought the soul went in the back of the head

and why in Ayurveda the recommendation to put oil on the top of the head at 
night?So the soul can slip out to rest or seek companionship with other souls 
at night like in Peter Pan? Is that how it rests?Does the soul that cannot slip 
out easily not get a 'holiday'
and so does not function/love see corectly, "well"


I really wonder and if any of you have run across the knowledge, will you share?

thanks

I know i need a holiday

i would not blame the soul any for escaping of the "chain"and running off to 
the neighborhood to roam around

And what business is it of yours what other

Apparently Bevan Morris can't hold a candle to

Who would want to live there if they had to fork
over high taxes when they were not even sick? 

If you were a young wage-earning person, would you 
want to be forced to pay for the medical care of 
all the old people? 

What would you think if you found out that the UK 
was running a giant Ponzi scheme, and that at some 
point, you'd have to have millions of immigrants 
come in from Pakistan to do all the work because 
there were only old people left and they don't do 
any work or earn any income? 

Apparently this is happened now, and all the
abortions you perform aren't helping replenish
the population. Are abortions free in the UK?

All Ponzi schemes, sooner or later, come to an 
end. What do you think about that? Wouldn't it
make more sense to bring down the high cost
of medical care and improve the economy so that
everyone is earning good money so they could
pay their own way?

According to the theory of karma, anyone who kills the

it was a 'sin', which he probably associated with the
theory of karma, implying that such an act would retard

Almost all of the people on the planet think that killing
the soul is a bad thing to do, unless they are 
materialists who don't believe in the soul-monad theory. 

In that case, since there is no soul-monad in the first 
place, there would be nothing to kill, there would just 
be an elimination of an unwanted material substance. 

And the materialist would also probably deny the existence 
of karma. So, for the materialist, there would be no need 
to refrain from killing anything at all - it's just a
natural thing to do. A materialist would see no need
to refrain from killing anyone, since the means always
justifies the ends.

So, it's all about 'insurance-reform'. What about
'universal health care'? I always thought the idea
was to provide health care for everyone. Why would
anyone need 'insurance' when they could get health
care at a reasonable cost? 

So, you're in favor of making the federal government 
an 'insurance' company, but any guest workers in the 
country would be left out of your plan? 

What would happen if the cost of health care was 
brought down so that everyone could afford to pay for 
their own health care?

Did the President say anything about tort reform or
discount medications? Did the President say anything
about medical care rationing?

Did the President say anything about immigration
reform?

On what, exactly? Assuming an abortion takes place after
ensoulment, what do you think happens to the soul?

What happens to the soul if there's a miscarriage after
ensoulment?

You do know that the *vast* majority--over 80 percent--
of abortions take place prior to 12 weeks' gestation,
right?
