[FairfieldLife] Wikiauditing: former Scientology celeb becomes whistleblower
In what should be a (to invoke the spirit of Ed Sullivan) reeeally good sheow, Paul Haggis (writer-director of Crash and The Next Three Days, writer of Casino Royale, Quantum Of Solace, and Million Dollar Baby) is due to be the key whistleblower in an upcoming book on Scientology. http://gawker.com/5725832/the-scientology-expose-weve-been-waiting-for Given the levels of access and insider status that Scien- tology tends to give its celebrity shills, Miscavige must be shitting in his pants and L.

I do not believe TM, in general, establishes ahimsa in ones consciousness or in one's environment. You're saying TM does not work as advertised, and I get that; thanks. I'm asking something different, though. Let me use your terms: Does your tradition teach that transcending establishes ahimsa in one's environment? Feel free to substitute transcending with the proper word, if one better applies. Thanks.

However it is too simplistic to answer in a straightforward way. Since some of us were trained as TM teachers, the real question about non-diksha mantras revolves around knowing how entertain a book mantra by knowing how to introduce it to the mind. Other questions revolve around the type and the length of the mantra. Most people here are used to practicing a monosyllabic mantra core that is enhanced with extra syllables. But starting out with foreign mantras and then asking if they work the same is just too simplistic of an approach. Most teachers (post 197o) learned a whole list of core mantra bijas. Later they found out that these bijas corresponded with various devata mantras recorded in the Tantras. However just picking out a devata mantra (such as NaraSingha or Kalika) is not at all the same experience as using one of the TM bija sets.) So can we start with teachers who have meditated with other bija-akshara mantras in the set they received when we were made initiators? I'll starting with the followingk observation: I received my mantra-set from MMY personally (mouth-to-ear) at Fiuggi in 1972. Because I was already familiar with Sir John Woodruff's books on Tantrika mantra-shastra, the mantras and their associated devatas was not news to me since I already understood that the mantras were given as traditional devata names in Woodruff's many works. Much later, when I worked briefly with different bija-s from the list, I found them all to be quite potent once I indeed entertained them in my awareness just as if they were my own mantra-of-initiation. I didn't continue using them to replace my own diksha mantra because I did not see any point in doing so. However, reading various Tantric shastras and their sadhanas shows that this can be a vary powerful way to deepen and concentrated the root shakti of the tradition.

As Curtis has pointed out, that is just a facet of being human, and doesn't necessarily have anything to do with either enlightenment or spiritual progress. If you know of any studies that can prove that someone claiming enlightenment had a verifiable Woo Woo affect *on others*, I'd be interested in seeing it. So far, all I've ever seen was anecdotal stuff presented by those who had a vested interest in people believing it so that they'd contribute to their lineage or cause. I'm not saying that the enlightened have NO effect on their environment, merely that I don't think there is a shred of proof that they do. It's a matter of belief.

According to at least three FFL pundits, that's all you need to do. Vaj listed all the bijas and Barry2 said they were all in books... cardemaister: Hmmm...how can you guarantee, that a native speaker of, say, English, gets the correct pronunciation of a biija- mantra from a Latin transliteration of it? :-) The pronunciation of the bija is apparently not an important factor, since the bija is not a word or a sound, but a thought-instant. Are you thinking that there is kind of magical element to a mechanical technique - a 'ghost' in the machine? But, the real question is, why did these TM Teachers post the TM bija mantras on the internet if they are unsuitable for spiritual usage? The TM bijas were posted by John Knapp, and then re-posted by Vaj and the dorkflex. Do you think these characters were attempting to impede our spiritual progress by posting the secret TM mantras on the internet? If so, maybe they should be banned from posting on this forum. Or, maybe they would like to explain their motives for revealing the TM bija mantras.

Vaj: I don't recommend people getting mantras from books for meditation practice... So, you must have posted the link to the TM bijas on FFL for a reason. Was it an attempt to 'poison the well' or what? If you don't recommend getting mantras from books, why did you buy the book in the first place and get the mantras? Maybe you posted them because you're not a spiritual teacher at all. Or, maybe you thought it was a clever thing to do, to indicate that you are a spiritual elite. In the past, you posted messages accusing MMY of murdering SBS. Is this a forum for attack messages or are you just playing games with our souls? Maybe you have a lot of explaining to do. William seems to be onto you, so maybe it's time for you to take a long sabbatical from posting, ponder your actions, then in a year or two, maybe you could return here to post like an adept, or at least like a scholar. At present you seem to be neither. Or, maybe you have some other explanation. But, in over ten years of reading your posts, you have failed to explain very much about the mechanics of consciousness. Go figure.

emptybill: So if you are leaping and bounding at your heart chakra then you must not be able to break free of this body coffin... The chakras are not the physical body; they are the constituent turnings of the subtle, transcendental body. Bija mantras are 'thought-instants', not words with semantic meanings. It's all about energy and the transference of subtle energies. Each chakra in your spinal column is believed to influence or even govern bodily functions near its region of the spine. Because autopsies do not reveal chakras, most people think they are a fancy of fertile imagination. Yet their existence is well documented in the traditions of the far east. - Susan Shumsky http://www.divinerevelation.org/Author.html http://www.divinerevelation.org/Author.html Read more: http://www.amazon.com/Susan-G.-Shumsky/e/B000APC378/ref=ntt_dp_epwbk_0 'Exploring Chakras' Awaken Your Untapped Energy By Susan G.

Thanks, Jim! Right, this yagya works upon the simple Understanding that we take full responsibility for this timeless Now, our awareness-field of creation. By contrast to the eternal perfection of Now, the time-bound Ego or resistant desire-particle is revealed by its dissonance, dissatisfaction or disoontent: a signal to Us that it is dinner-time and there is More of Us to Love :-) Agreed, the deity does not appear to be static, as it is the future-self reflection (across the Now-point of Us) of the past-self remnant-of-desire...in other words, the deity IS or shall be that which the desire-particle most longs to be. Put another way, the deity is simply US as viewed by the particle, an US which the Ego-bound desire-particle does not yet consider itself to be, as we have in a sense unconsciously rejected it (ourself) until Now. As the past-self particle is an imbalance rejecting the Now, the deity is the particle's equal and opposite future-self imbalance. And as WE created the desire-particle out of Us, all the desire-particle has to do is back up again and surrender into US, once it grasps that attention-cord of our unconditional Love and willingness to be it, Now. That backing-up attention-cord from future-US is the creator of the DNA ascension-column of liquid fire, and is the core technology behind the TM initiation.

Hi Rory - It is quite a fascinating paradox from my perspective. On the one hand, each of us is made up of the same stuff as anything else, indivisible from any other manifestation, including Vishnu, for example. On the other, the only way we can apprehend and fully enjoy any other manifestation is through recognizing our separation from it, even though that may be a loving separation full of gratitude, recognition and humility. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, RoryGoff roryg...@... wrote: Thanks, Jim!

I'm asking something different, though. Let me use your terms: Does your tradition teach that transcending establishes ahimsa in one's environment? Feel free to substitute transcending with the proper word, if one better applies. Thanks. I would say that both the Patanjali tradition says that and the Buddhist traditions say that Awakened Mind can transform environments, indeed whole world systems. Thanks.

[FairfieldLife] US government strategy to prevent leaks leaded to MSNBC
Note the part these steps include figuring out which employees might be most inclined to leak classified documents, by using psychiatrists and sociologists to assess their trustworthiness doesn't mention psychologists. http://www.techspot.com/news/41889-leaked-us-government-strategy-to-prevent-leaks.html The US government's 11-page document on how to get various US government agencies to prevent future leaks has been leaked to MSNBChttp://msnbcmedia.msn.com/i/msnbc/sections/news/OMB_Wiki_memo.pdf. It doesn't get any more ironic than that. After the various leaks made by WikiLeaks, the US government understandably wants to limit the number of potential leaks, but their strategy apparently isn't implemented yet. Here's the crux of the memo, which was sent this week to senior officials at all agencies that use classified material: Each initial assessment should be completed by January 28, 2011, and should include the following with respect to the attached list of self-assessment questions: 1. Assess what your agency has done or plans to do to address any perceived vulnerabilities, weaknesses, or gaps on automated systems in the post-WikiLeaks environment. 2. Assess weakness or gaps with respect to the attached list of questions, and formulate plans to resolve the issues or to shift or acquire resources to address those weaknesses or gaps. 3. Assess your agency's plans for changes and upgrades to current classified networks, systems, applications, databases, websites, and online collaboration environments as well as for all new classified networks, systems, applications, databases, websites or online collaboration environments that are in the planning, implementation, or testing phases - in terms of the completeness and projected effectiveness of all types of security controls called for by applicable law and guidance (including but limited to those issued by the National Security Staff, the Committee on National Security Systems, the National Institute for Standards and Technology). 4. Assess all security, counterintelligence, and information assurance policy and regulatory documents that have been established by and for your department or agency. It's clear that the Obama administration is telling federal agencies to take aggressive steps to prevent further leaks. According to the document, these steps include figuring out which employees might be most inclined to leak classified documents, by using psychiatrists and sociologists to assess their trustworthiness. The memo also suggests that agencies require all their employees to report any contacts with members of the news media they may have.

Now let's hope that lots of people are awakening, and we enjoy something of a snowball effect. Great observation and I like that you keep re-focusing the question for some who evidently haven't had experience with it. This is an interesting discernment you're making. The shakti of transcending and global influence. It's an influence that seems to take some spiritual muscle to throw and takes some practice to get good at it too. It's a spirituality workout that really is not done in TM as such. That is how you could have a bunch of TM'ers who may be are lit in the upper chakras but not connected to their heart or much at root chakras. All along over the years with TM, some people have observed and commented that it () seems to have no heart. Well, yes if it just stays with the in-the-head thing of just coming back to a mantra and taking it as it comes then it likely won't get embodied much. Hence you can have some long term practitioners who frankly look pretty dim bad and a lot who are quitters. Though TM doctrine doesn't address this spirituality aspect but for some people things natively lit up from top to bottom with the practice. All the advanced techniques effectively are this more complete development of the subtle chakra systems if employed that way. However, TM simply was a great spiritual start and then going to other teachers where this larger aspect is more directly and technically addressed can become important finishing. Lately John Douglas arriving with his spiritual techniques/practices has been helping the really TM TB'er insider community with this growth more directly. Their TM is proly better for it too as their subtle systems become more able to embody the Unified Field spiritually. There has been a lot of work done this way in the meditating community over the years. Particularly since the mid to late 1980's when the lady-saints started showing up more in the West. This is a lot of what the saints have been helping people with in their spirituality of developing the spiritual body. Look at the Fairfield Directory of Active Spiritual Practice Groups. That represents where a lot of the TM movement had went on to through the years. Taking TM and going separate from TM. There is a practicality in that. For the research, it would be nice to get some of those practitioners back to do their TM in the domes now. -Buck in FF

[FairfieldLife] Re: The Dome Numbers
Sitting around waiting for someone or something to come along and save you seems to be a latent desire for a return to the parental situation. This desire has been exploited to hell and back, since civilization began. Many things are possible with the human body and the human mind. Many things that many people are not familiar with. However, use of these mostly unknown possibilities does not necessarily indicate the type of awakening which you speak of. Everyone has an effect on the environment whether they intend to or not. That is the nature of the web of wyrd, or indra's net. It is less about the environment and more about your place within it. The snowball effect is already there, in a magnitude of forces beyond your wildest dreams, but its not going to cater to the conditions which would have prevented it in the first place.

There are plenty of other very powerful techniques than TM. I really don't care if you're grateful to TM for changing your life maybe something else might have also. You don't know. But ignorance of other techniques is simply ignorance. I'm grateful that I learned about other schools of though, went to India where I learned things and 10 years ago was initiated into tantra by an authentic tantric guru here in the states.

Well, unless you are claiming the equivalent of an ME for Buddhist meditation as opposed to TM, its still gobbledygook. And if you are, then you need to post the research URLs, thanks. The research phase on Buddhist meditation is now well established. In fact it's moved beyond the research stage to the creation of a truly non-sectarian meditation form, where HH the Dalai Lama has worked with leading world scientists to create this cutting edge deep meditation. IIRC they're on their second TTC in their state-of-the-art facility. Now there's no need to worry about getting a stealth meditation form that would conflict with Judaeo-Christian or other religious values. Good primers on the research would be Destructive Emotions: How Can We Overcome Them? A Scientific Dialogue with the Dalai Lama by Daniel Goleman or The Mindful Brain: Reflection and Attunement in the Cultivation of Well-Being by Daniel Siegel.

Do you really think raunchydog has nothing to do all day but sit in front of her computer just waiting to read and reply to your posts the instant they appear? She drops by the forum from time to time. She may not be back for days. If she sees one of your posts the next time she's here, she'll probably reply to it (although in my opinion you have no business asking her personal questions, and she is under no obligation to answer them). As to calling her selfish and saying she has no compassion, that's ridiculous. She explained to you already why she can't teach you any advanced techniques: MMY didn't assign her to teach them. Even if you wanted to pay her, she couldn't teach them to you. It has nothing to do with money, it has to do with her commitment to follow MMY's teaching and directions. Plus which, no TMer who has advanced techniques is supposed to be telling other people what they are. Like your mantra, advanced techniques are private instruction, and when you receive them, you agree to keep them private. Those who have posted their advanced techniques here have broken their word. That's their choice, but not everybody is willing to take their agreements so lightly. So you're *way* out of line in a number of different ways in your harassment of raunchydog.

[FairfieldLife] Re: About Advanced Techniques fertilizers
Good grief, Marcio. Give it a rest. Impugning my character isn't winning you any points. Maybe you missed it. So I'll repeat slowly: Maharishi...has...not...given...me...his...blessing...to teach advanced techniques to *anyone* including family and certainly not to you. I'm simply honoring my pledge to Maharishi to keep the teaching pure. Get it? I am not standing in the way of your happiness. Refusing to teach advanced techniques has nothing to do with you and everything to do with my personal realtionship with Maharishi and respect for his wishes. Tom offered you $10 grand. Stop asking him questions about it. Send him your name and address, then take the money and run. Preferably, not in my direction. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Marcio tmer1...@... wrote: and his son, his daughter, his father. his sister .. a close friend ... .. ask to teach you the techniques for them, you ask 2500? you will collect money from their children? you are selfish ... you have no compassion .. you are part of the people who do not care about the suffering of the world, you're insensitive ... open your hea, you'll feel better .. and does not cover money from his children or his wife .. if they want the techniques aprendr ok? you'll feel better --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, raunchydog raunchydog@ wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Marcio tmer1306@ wrote: Raunchydog I practice TM-Sidhi daily for 20 years, I am grateful to MMY .. for I have learned to transecendental meditation, I agree with you .. transcendental meditation I love, my life changed for the better ..

I have just received the University Report, 2009-2010, which in most respects is a very impressive brochure. However, in the first paragraph of the article on the IA course, the number given for the peace-creating effect is 1,730, not 2,000 or 2,500. Looking back over the numbers, from 2008 through most of 2010, that number has been attained. But unfortunately there appears to have been no observable peace-creating effect. I saw an interesting blog post the other day: - December 27, 2010 The State of the World: Not Bad Posted by Greg Scoblete at 8:20 AM According to a new report from the Human Security Report Project, the number of deaths from armed conflicts around the world continues to fall, even while intercommunal wars have jumped and other conflicts have become increasingly difficult to bring to an end. What wars are fought are less lethal, too. The average annual battle-death toll per conflict in the 1950s killed almost 10,000 people; in the new millennium the figure is less than 1,000, the report states. Four of the world's five deadliest conflicts (Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Somalia) involve Islamists insurgents and, in some capacity, the United States. Although the report notes that: The level of armed conflict in Muslim countries is far lower today than it was two decades ago, and support for al-Qaeda and other radical Islamist groups has declined substantially throughout the Muslim world. So what's behind the move toward a more peaceful world? The authors take a stab at an explanation: The demise of colonialism, the end of the Cold War, a dramatic increase in the number of democratic states, and a shift in elite attitudes towards warfare are among the key political changes that have reduced the incidence of international warfare since the end of World War II. Equally important, argues Professor Mack, has been the dramatic long-term increase in levels of global economic interdependence. Interdependence, he says, has increased the costs of war while reducing its benefits. The decline in civil wars has rather different causes. Since the end of the Cold War, the UN-led upsurge of international efforts to negotiate peace agreements in ongoing conflicts and to prevent wars that have ended from starting again has been associated with a significant decline in the number of wars fought within states. - http://www.realclearworld.com/blog/2010/12/the_state_of_the_world.ht ml http://tinyurl.com/29m2us2 Here's a link to the study itself: http://hsrgroup.org/press-room/latest-news/latest-news-view/10-12-02/Canadian_Study_Reports_New_Threats_to_Global_Security_but_Reveals_Encouraging_Long-Term_Trends.aspx http://tinyurl.com/27lllgn It strikes me that of the various reasons proposed above for the decline in world conflict, all except perhaps global economic interdependence could be seen as a function of rising consciousness. And then there's this: What's Behind America's Falling Crime Rate http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1963761-1,00.html http://tinyurl.com/ybbs53q Nobody knows quite why crime has taken such a big drop since 1990 either. And it isn't happening just in this country. I wonder if it's possible that we're not seeing the forest for the trees.

[FairfieldLife] The Long Goodbye
I thought we might all enjoy revisiting Barry's Farewell post from November 11, less than two months ago: - As I see it, there is no need to prolong this figuring it out period until my birthday. It's a done deal, and was when I was halfway through writing my Contemplating Retirement post. Besides, I've always been a fan of the digital time 11:11 and the date 11/11, so that seems an appropriate date to sign off. I'm outa here. So long, and thanks for all the fish. They have been very tasty. I have enjoyed my stay, and want to take the opportunity to especially thank Rick Archer for that enjoyment. I first ventured here knowing nothing of the place, think- ing that it was yet another TM echo chamber. I figured out that it wasn't within 1 or 2 short exchanges, and stuck around. That was not a bad decision. Neither was the decision to try to learn from many of the seekers who post here, even the ones who call them- selves finders and bristle at the notion that they are still seeking something. Your thoughts and your attempts to put them into words have taught me more than you can ever know. Deep bow. Individual thanks would be out of place, because I'd forget people, and that's not nice, even considering the effects of aging on memory. So I just say thanks by doing a double backwards somersault through a hoop while whistling the Star Spangled Banner. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jc6aufHz-i0 Walk well, on whatever path you have chosen for yourself. And if you can, remember to look up from the path from time to time to take in the scenery. It's worth seeing. Jai and away, TurquoiseB Turq Uncle Tantra Unc Barry whatever
