Rory, you and Curtis ought to get together with Tom for a circle jerk. Let the 
hard feelings between you come to a peaceful conclusion before all this talk of 
erotic ball tickling and erupting showers gets out of hand. I'd hate to see 
Alex have to mop up after you guys.

* * Tom, many thanks; your kind and loving wish has already become my command.

As it turns out, my greatest bliss in life erupts from and through the sacred 
act of loving myself, curving back upon myself again and again, as our love 
enlightens and thrills every particle of myself into showers of ecstasy to 
nourish and rejuvenate our entire creation ... in truth, self-love is the 
ultimate re-creation.

she will forget. But when they get it right whooh. That is a party.

So if you are try'n to diss a critter, I would suggest telling them to NOT 
fornicate upon themselves, cuz, seriously, from my experience (vast) this is 
one of the best ways one can find to get exactly what one needs.  You are 
basically cursing them to get way better satisfaction then they will find 
from 90% of the chicks out there.  I mean who else knows that if I put a strong

a Mt. Vesuvius eruption?  No one but anyone reading this forum. Just say'n...

Relatively speaking, yes, he was. He won the New Hampshire
primary, if you'll recall. Dole ultimately won the nomination
overwhelmingly at the convention, 59% to Buchanan's 21%, but
early in the primary campaign Buchanan was considered a
significant threat to Dole.

As loathesome as his political positions are, he's a very
smart guy in comparison to what the Republicans have to
choose from this time around.

  Mark,



One of the nicest things about FFL is that you can post for a while and then 
drop out when you feel like it.  When you return there is a Cheers quality to 
it even from people who post in an antagonistic style.  A familiar comfort 
there.  Bit of a home-for-misfit-toys to the place that is endearing.



You have served up some great stuff here for us Mark, I have enjoyed your 
participation here.  I understand the need to unhook and unsubscribe, but my 
way is to just drop out for a while and then come back when it suits my writing 
needs.  You may need more of a dramatic break and I can understand that.



Maharishi's sandals!  Damn if that is not a metaphor for the vortex 
intersection of the worlds we live in man.  I feel privileged to even know the 
perspective that they are special, even having rejected it as romantic fantasy. 
(Not that there is anything wrong with that. Well maybe a little...)  



And finding yourself at economic crossroads has my profound attention and 
compassion.  In my world, that is the only thing that shakes me. Well death of 
a relative or friend does it too.  Oh yeah, and anything medical that arises 
that involves my nutsack.  (Theoretically speaking of course, I hope I have 
made the vital nature of said nutsack abundantly clear, not for the male 
members, not that there is anything wrong with that, but for the nubile women 
among us.)  Anyhoo I feel your pain and hope you get your economic shit 
together cuz you seem like you will enjoy your life just fine if you do.  I 
can't recommend "Who Moved My Cheese" enough as a way to look at economic 
survival and the proper mental approach to succeed. 



Finally, since you took an opportunity to man the bully pulpit yourself, I 
can't resist a bit of sermonizing myself.



Skeptics are not the problem.  We are an important part of the solution.  And 
we are all skeptics and believers both at heart.  If you and I decide that 
strapping on a bomb and walking toward a bunch of infidels before detonation is 
a bad, bad idea, we are expressing skepticism of a deeply held belief of people 
who we have decided are misguided.  They are collaging together a reverence to 
an outdated scripture and an interpretation of its poetic intentions filtered 
through humans who have an over-abundance of surety.  It is not too far out on 
a limb to say that I am skeptical that you are in a position to know what is 
going on in the future of mankind from whatever source you are claiming it.  
But I hope that your association with me has at least let the idea flicker 
across your mind that our surety with its accompanying assumptions about 
reality is one of the big problems in our world today. Even as we face complex 
problems that will require the best
 scientific thinking we can muster.



But through it all you are a charming delightful guy and I wish you the best.  
Thanks for really showing up here, for real real! You are an authentic 
interesting voice in the wilderness, across the Internet, if not across the 
universe.

  Listening to Mark's and many, many other recovering TM (and other

especially apropos. It's called "The Lost Years". It's a kind of thing many of 
us have gone through. David calls it a "Rip Van Winkle" and the "Prozac 
tunnel", that is a huge chunk of your life that was lost in some other endeavor 
- a dream - and the depressing reality surrounding trying to deal with getting 
back into the consensus realm - if you're able to even make that seque.

And so in your final, ( I doubt it! ) histrionic moment, you have to defile
the great state of Arkansas, home of a very successful president of the
united states, Bill Clinton.  You are an embodiment of hate and
self-righteousness.  Which hate and self-righteousness gets you designated
by the Cosmos as a looser a hate ,monger.  You came on FFL to fulfill your
agenda,. and you have succeeded.  You wanted even more punishment by God for
your sins, you begged for it and you've gotten it.  It will flollow to you

May  God bless you, despite your hatefulness, your feeling of entitlement,

This is from the CNN article Political Wire references:

"Seven in 10 Democrats say they'd like to see Obama as their party's 
presidential nominee next year.

"That figure may seem promising, but support for Obama's re-nomination has 
fallen 11 percentage points since June. 

"Despite the decline, history is on Obama's side. 'In 1994, only 57% of 
Democrats wanted the party to renominate Bill Clinton, and he went on to win 
the nomination and a second term two years later,' said CNN Polling Director 
Keating Holland.

"Without a prominent primary challenger, Obama's bid for re-election seems to 
be safe for now. But of those losing faith, the poll reveals that moderate 
Democrats are more likely than liberals to say the party should nominate 
someone else and younger Democrats are more likely to favor a new nominee than 
those who are older."

No wonder the do.rk quoted Political Wire's blurb rather
than the actual article.

It would be interesting to see how the results would 
change were there a credible Democratic candidate for the
nomination to oppose Obama. It would also be interesting
to see whether the results would change , especially among independents, if the 
candidates for the Republican
nomination were more credible, as they were in 1994 (Dole,
Buchanan, Forbes, et al.).

we've known for a long time-Tom is Tina, and let her know there is help out

to face the reality that many before you have faced-he's not going to change no

Thank you, Tom, coming from you I consider this a compliment.  It's good to

You're so tame and lame, you must have sold out.
How much did they have to pay you to water down
your political rhetoric?

You should emulate the Bavarian Soviet Republic
of 1919 who finally grabbed the evil capitalists and
executed them. They instituted "we are all comrades"
and were only ousted by a bunch of bloated right-wing
lackeys of greedy Industrialists.

Take it all over and "eliminate" the evil doers or s.t.f.u
and quit complaining because you're so impotent.

Too bad I am sworn to secrecy about the alternate TMO and my invite into it
on a gold and jewel bedecked silver platter.   Sometime in the future it
might become common knowledge.  All I can share now is how exciting it is to
be honored like this by people I think a great deal of, despite their vast

them all but little did I know that there's another part of Jefferson

loud in the tasteless Chinese and Indian buffets about monetizing, the

These guys are staunch Democrats. They voted for Obama in the last election and 
will probably vote for him again. I might hold my nose and vote for him as 
well. Don't know. Will Cynthia McKinney run again? I'd vote for her in a 
heartbeat. She's currently getting flack in the media for visiting Libya and 
Iran and "bashing" America. Obama's presidency is such a disappointment, IMO 
Hillary could beat him in a primary. One can hope. 

Ron Paul is not the establishment candidate. They will not let him win the 
presidency just as "they" didn't let Hillary win. Here's the clue. Paul placed 
a very close second(on an optically scanned ballot, by the way.) Bachmann 
received 28 percent of nearly 17,000 votes and Paul had 27 percent. In the 
meantime, the media was all about dumb as a box of rocks, Perry 24/7 who wasn't 
even on the ballot. New rule: Vote for the candidate the media is doing its 
best to ignore. I'm just guessing but that might be the reasoning behind my 
friends voting for Paul.

Between Michelle Bachmann's win and smarmy, good looking Perry's, 
disproportionate media attention, they sucked all the air out of Paul's 2nd 
place. There you have it, folks: The 2012 Republican ticket! 

Paul has tremendous grassroots support. Hell, I'd vote for him myself if he 
wasn't a damn Libertarian. The Straw Poll is a test of a candidates 
organizational strength. Paul had the biggest tent, tons of supporters and lots 
of cash. He lost by a mere 157 votes, enough for a paper ballot hand recount in 
any normal election. "It's not the people who vote that count. It's the people 
who count the votes." (Josef Stalin)

Thanks for the compliments on my speaking voice. I don't know what it means 
that people liked hearing that little bit of it. Now I'm shy. Maybe I'll never 
speak again, so as not to disappoint :-)

[FairfieldLife] My dinners in Tijuana

[Tom Pall]

I sat down in this very nice restaurant in Tijuana in what happened to be
bullfighting season.I smelled this wonderful dish of what looked like
oysters at the next table and I told the waiter to bring me a plate.
"Senior, I am sorry, but there are no more of these oysters left.  You see,
the bullfights are on right now and when the bull loses, we get the, how you
say, 'Huevos' but there is only so much.  But I assure you, Senior, if you
call us up very early tomorrow morning, you can reserve a plate of those
'mountain oysters' for yourself and they'll be waiting for you, just for
you, for us to cook up for you at dinner tomorrow."  I got the business card
of the restaurant and bright and early the next day I phoned up the
restaurant and reserved the mountain oysters for myself and my party that
night.  When my party and I came into the restaurant that evening, the
waiter recognized me, escorted us to our table, offered us drinks and
appetizers and promised the 'mountain oysters' were all ready waiting to be
cooked up for us.   The waiter soon served the 'mountain oysters' to us all
around then left.  He came back about 15 minutes later to check on us.  I
asked him why the oysters were so much smaller tonight than the ones I saw
the night before.  "Sometimes the bull wins, Senior."

[FairfieldLife] TM: The Lost Years

[Vaj]

Listening to Mark's and many, many other recovering TM (and other "spiritual") 
groupies stories, I find this unreleased song by David Wilcox especially 
apropos. It's called "The Lost Years". It's a kind of thing many of us have 
gone through. David calls it a "Rip Van Winkle" and the "Prozac tunnel", that 
is a huge chunk of your life that was lost in some other endeavor - a dream - 
and the depressing reality surrounding trying to deal with getting back into 
the consensus realm - if you're able to even make that seque.

I am not so very much against Repulicans.  It's just that particular
version of which I am skeptical. (referring to my previous comment).

I am not even very much against using military force.  It's just using
it in a way that expends huge amounts of treasure and cost in human life
for little or no gain that I am against.

It was a Protestant Rebublican together with the most respected US
general who said that to invade Bahgdad and take down the government
would be an unmitigated diaster.  It was a right wing Christian
president, who along with his vice president determined that they knew
better and lead us into that diaster.

I just happen to big a big believer in the seperation of church and
state.  If I am not mistaken it was Thomas Jefferson who was the
strongest proponet of this article.  Tell me, what was it about Obama
that you found so objectionable the day he was elected?  But since it
was that day you felt so disgusted, please limit your comments to that
time?

I look at Rick Perry, I look at Sarah Palin, I look at Mike Huckabee,
(yes, I know he's not running), and I don't like what I see.  And  I
can't really take seriously their economic message.  I am not sure how
much any president has over the economy.   Is a president going to stop
the flow of jobs overseas?  Isn't that the main cause of the economic
problems for the last 40 years?

Was it here that I read that one of the sponsors of Rick Perry's big pow
wow last week in Texas was an organization that advocates the removal or
destruction of the Statue of Liberty because it was given to us by
members of the French Masons.  Maybe you go along with this type of
thinking.  I don't care for it.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Going, Going, Gone/The Ascension

[Mark Landau]

Thank you, Bob, and you're welcome.  My honor and my pleasure.
My memories of his annual silences aren't super clear but here's what comes:
There were slight variations.  I don't believe he ever took a full month, at 
least in my five years.  The norm was a week, beginning on the first and coming 
out on his birthday, the 7th, though there were two longer ones in my 
experience, one about ten days and one about fifteen, though I couldn't 
guarantee that.  And yes, he took total silence (though I have a vague memory 
of his breaking that once).  He shut himself up in his room and didn't come out 
till he was done.  And, yes, in my experience, he water fasted.  No food went 
in or trays came out.  And, yes also, he definitely looked more ethereal 
afterwards.  This is the best I can do and my memory may be faulty on any of 
the above.
Re the length of my thread, it's a legacy, though, as RC might say, not of my 
conscious doing, or really my doing at all, that, still, I can be proud of, 
even if someone beats it someday.  Thanks, again, for pointing that out to me.  
I never would have known.
And God bless Kurt if he did attain maturity.  I have yet to achieve that, at 
least according to my definition.  In some ways I always liked GBS's Back to 
Methuselah.  Given 300 years, I might get there.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Going, Going, Gone/The Ascension

[Mark Landau]

Thank you, Curtis, much appreciation for this.  And I hear you about surety.  
Surety would make one a fundamentalist, precisely what you're saying, no?  I 
did put in that what I was saying could be a bunch of hooey, but, deep in my 
soul, there it is, still there, my own personal hope for mankind, held somewhat 
in common with, perhaps, millions, or, at least, 144,000...  And, yes, I know 
all is perfection, but, to again paraphrase the man, this time allegorically, 
"Yes, it's all a dream, but let's do what we can to make it a good dream."

I also "know," at least within the realm of my own experience, that real peace 
only comes with fully accepting everything exactly as it is.  So, again, the 
paradox, coming to terms with what is and holding for the possibility of a 
better world, still, after all these years--a more harmonious, joyous, loving, 
balanced perfection than we now see when viewing the doings of humanity on 
Earth.  (While, simultaneously, embracing the cloud of unknowing.  In other 
words, letting go of the mind, completely, as the knower, utilizing it for what 
it really is when it's really needed, the problem solver.  Ever read Far Out, A 
Space Time Chronicle?  I highly recommend it--yes, read, not just look at the 
pictures.)

But I ramble, or rave.  Hope you're here when I return.

I liked this - "To sum it all up I shared my dream with the wife over
breakfast and although she does not dream about famous people she did
say she counts celebrities at night to put herself to sleep."
Who knew that counting celebrities instead of TM is also a sure way to
fall asleep !!

I know the forgetfulness thing all too well and I've been having it for
decades.   I fly halfway across the world, I drive halfway across the
country to go to Fairfiield and when I get there I don't remember why I
came.  I go into the Maharishi Patanjali Golden Dome of Pure Knowledge and
Vedic Temple and forgot why it is I came in.  I spent a few hours in there
and when I leave and don't remember why I went in.  I go back to my hotel
room and can't remember why I'm in FF or VC.  I go to Georges and remember
then how terrible the service and food are and how mooches watch out for my
car and crash my table, staring at my food until I offer to buy the pour
schmucks a meal.   And I don't remember why I went to Georges.  I drive down
to the Des Moines River.  It hasn't changed and it's just as momentarily
quaint as it was last time I came.  Yes, I remember the forgetting well.

Interesting how the David Lynch Foundation attracts celebs to learn and then

[FairfieldLife] Polling Suggests Tea Party/GOP Could Lose House

[do.rflex]

Public Policy Polling: Independent voters gave the tea party control
of the U.S. House in 2010.

Now 68 percent of independents disapprove of House Republicans.


Tom Jensen, Public Policy Polling:

 I think most national pundits continue to be missing the boat on
 how possible it is that Democrats will retake control of the House
 next year.

 We find Democrats with a 7 point lead on the generic Congressional
 ballot this week at 47-40. After getting demolished with
 independent voters last year, they now hold a slight 39-36
 advantage with them. And in another contrast to 2010 Democratic
 voters are actually slightly more unified than Republicans, with 83
 percent committed to supporting the party's Congressional
 candidates compared to 80 percent in line with theirs.

 This poll is certainly not an outlier. We have looked at the
 generic ballot 11 times going back to the beginning of March and
 Democrats have been ahead every single time, by an average margin
 of about 4 points.

 This 7 point advantage is the largest Democrats have had and if
 there was an election today I'm thinking that they'd take
back the
 House…

 There's little doubt that Democrats are winning the fallout of
the
 debt debate.

 Approval for Congressional Republicans has now plunged to a 25/65
 spread. That's a 21 point decline on the margin from when they
 started the year at 33/52.

 Last year independent voters were the driving factor behind the GOP
 retaking the House majority. Now they give it a 20/68 approval
 rating.

 It's early — but it looks very plausible that we could be
back to
 Speaker Pelosi 17 months from now.


GALLUP: Gallup's first measure of the 2012 congressional elections
shows Democrats leading Republicans, 51% to 44%, in registered
voters' preferences for which party's candidate they would support
in their district "if the elections for Congress were being held today."

See GALLUP GRAPH:
http://sas-origin.onstreammedia.com/origin/gallupinc/GallupSpaces/Produc\
tion/Cms/POLL/mcaf4abaleymmsl13eq7aw.gif



Andrew Sullivan:

 My money is on a Democratic House and a chastened Republican Senate
 in 2013 …

 My reason for the shift: the staggering recklessness of
 the GOP in recent months. It goes hand in hand with Obama's
 turn-around against a generic Republican.

Except that GOP Senate leader Mitch McConnell the pro-failure caucus
he leads are incapable of being "chastened," so I'm not sure
what
Sully means by that.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Dreaming about Warren Beatty

[John]

In jyotish, dreams come from the 9th house of dharma.  As of today, the Sun and 
Venus are in conjunction in Cancer.  This conjunction represents the male (Sun) 
and female (Venus) characters in your dream.  More likely, you were born as a 
Scorpio ascendant in jyotish terms.

So, it would appear that the dream is telling you that a couple will be 
instrumental in your pursuit of activities relating to the TM movement or other 
organization that is related to your religious beliefs.

I remember fondly Obama's promise to publish every bill that was under
consideration for his signing for at least 3 days on his website.  Zero
bills got posted.   And that started off his sterling career as caretaker
president of the United States.   LBJ made it in his own right.  So did

[FairfieldLife] Dreaming about Warren Beatty

[Bob Price]

Last night I dreamt I visited Warren Beatty at his office in Los Angeles.

I seemed to be there to discuss what he was currently working on,
its been a while since he released a new project, as well as one of
my story ideas. Unfortunately, I can't remember either of the story
ideas although I'm not sure that was the take away my sub conscious 
intended for me. I also  passed his wife, Annette Benning, in the office 
hallway- she seemed a bit irritated with me. I also noticed Warren
is served his meals alone at a large antique dining table.

So I'm wondering what dreaming of celebrities indicates? I seem to remember
C.G. Jung saying it indicates a kind of mental instability but I'm not sure 
about that.
I'm also wondering if all this talk of celebrity mediators was the catalyst for 
the dream?

I also found this first link that I thought was interesting. Then I found the

I think he can figure that out himself if interested nor offended by

get a kick out of the "Come On, God" episode which opens with Louie as a 
guest on a FOX News show debating a woman representing "Christians

So we can get more pictures of her eating foot longs?Almost as funny as
the candidate a few years go who was handed a tamale and didn't know you
take it out of the corn husk before eating it.

So her husband could cure all of the gays getting married in Iowa?

So she can be the decoy for Perry.   Get this.  Obama, having accomplished
nothing is going to go on the attack instead of defending his ineffectual
time in office.   So that's the end of Change and Hope.  Now it's Chicago
politics as usual only on a nationwide scale.

Perry/Palin sounds like a great ticket.   Now that's going to offer real

Just out of curiosity, why did they not want Bachmann to win?
Only reason I can think of is that they hate Obama so much
they wanted the Republican who has the best chance of beating
him to win. Was that it? Or what am I missing?

BTW, I'm intrigued by the fact that three different people
here were so taken by your voice--speaking maybe 10-15 words
in two very brief chunks--in that video interview that they
made a point of mentioning it. I'm not sure what that means,
but it's kind of striking.

Our government is bloated but so are the big corporations.  The big 
corporations make for a bloated government.  They game the system.

Note I have to say "big corporations" because if I just say 
"corporations" then someone will think I'm talking about their little 
LLC or S corporation.  Obviously I'm not but we see the same thing when 
I say "the rich" and I'm not talking about the guy down the street who 
has a couple million dollars in assets.  But you have to qualify things 
for the "biological androids" or maybe "biobots" for short.

We certainly live in the country run by evil beings.  It's all about the 
money and big corporate control.  The world run by the "frat boys" (or 
"fat heads").  Much of what is mentioned in the article has been known 
by alternative practitioners for years and even by diabetes specialists.

Isn't interesting that since most of us have been kids we've had yearly 
telethons for this or that disease.  For that amount of money those 
diseases should be non-existent.  Makes you wonder where that money 
actually goes?

Of courses, there's no actual 'path' 
in Advaita Vedanta, since all paths in 
nature are illusory. 

And, the 'path' to the Absolute is a 
metaphorical path - obviously there's 
no path to Brahman, since we are already 
Brahman - not an object of cognition. 

And, there could hardly be many paths, 
since Advaita is monist. 

So, really there's no path to be on, and 
no goal either. Satori in Buddhism is  
called the 'path-less path'; in Zen 
Buddhism the student must pass through 
the 'gate-less gate', then you they find 
there is no path, and no gate - and no 
going!

Thanks for posting these.

Busting up the corporations would help.  That would create a lot of new 
jobs because when companies go into "acquisition mode" they fire people 
in duplicate positions (positions no longer needed because they already 
have people doing that at "headquarters.").  Those jobs come back.

The public can tell the establishment they want someone like Ron Paul, 
who except for the dated Austrian economics flaw has some good ideas, 
but the establishment will never let them have him.

Anyone using the term "bleeding heart liberalism" has been programmed by 
greedy corporatists to believe there is such a thing.  They also cooked 
up "compassionate conservative" to get away with more of the their 
mischief.

Of course what all this has to do iPhones and Android phones is beyond 
me other than a great part of the human race these days consist of 
biological androids who just follow patterns and can't think.

Yes! Lovely voice. Great photos too. I had no idea the straw
poll was such an expansive event. I'd been visualizing a stuffy
auditorium, not a stadium.

Really enjoyed her post too. And Colbert's "SuperPac" videos
are terrific--the "Americans for a Better Tomorrow Tomorrow" 
slogan is hilariously apt.

Osho did plenty of his own brilliant original stuff. And
with the Carlin rap, his delivery was stellar. I wonder if
Carlin ever saw the video--bet he'd have loved it (although
he might have been annoyed that Osho didn't credit him).

Fortunately they can't prevent you from eating what you want to eat, nor can 
they keep him from publishing his books - which seem to be quite popular.

Although the FDA has forced manufacturers of the supplement Red Yeast Rice, 
which lowers cholesterol, to remove or lower the active ingredient which does 
so, as it's basically natural Lovastatin. Store-bought brands vary so greatly 
in their active ingredients now that it would be impossible to use this 
supplement to lower your cholesterol reliably and consistently.

I think you are right.  And I enjoy Osho for just that reason.  But for
many of the reasons you state above I've decided to get off the

I am sure you are right, but I will have to ponder this concept.  I mean
some thing are "ultimately" true, but not too practical. I'll have to

"Dear children, when you sit for meditation, do not think that you can still 
your mind immediately. At first, you should relax all parts of your body. 
Loosen your clothes if they are too tight. Make sure that the spine is erect. 
Then close your eyes and concentrate your mind on your breath. You should be 
aware of your inhalation and exhalation. We should become aware of the process. 
Then the mind will be wakeful. As you sit like that for a while, your mind will 
become calm. You can continue the meditation by focusing attention on your 
breath. Or you can start meditation on the form of your beloved deity. Worship

This is just an extended description of the pro hominem logical fallacy, a says

[FairfieldLife] X is good because Y does it

[turquoiseb]

A mathematical formula, in which X equals whatever it is you're trying
to sell, and Y is the name of some celebrity.

It's pretty much one of the staples of the advertising/marketing
industries, and interestingly it's one of the staples of the spiritual
marketplace. Someone who is given to "researching the archives" of FFL
should go back and count the number of celebrities who have been
referenced here to sell TM; I would suspect that the count is now in the
dozens. The latest Y's seem to have been Oprah (although that is now in
dispute) and some model who I wouldn't recognize if she stepped off the
runway, walked over, and bit me on the ass. [ Not that this is likely to
happen; it hasn't happened to me with a supermodel in weeks. ] The
appeal of citing her as a reason to learn TM is a bit lost on me; it's
not as if seeing her name in a Subject line caused me to think, "Wow! If
I start TM I'll in the same elite club as a supermodel...I must do this
today!"

But oddly, many people DO think that stuff. Associate a "celebrity face"
with your product, and people line up to buy it. It's like the opposite
of the "cooties" that the TMO thinks you catch from "seeing other
teachers," such that they can't allow you to enter one of the domes for
fear that you'll infect others with them. Instead, it's like the only
quality that determines for them a good Y is their level of celebrity.
"David Lynch does TM, and thus if we associate his fame with TM's
that'll be 'good cooties,' and people will buy our product. Ignore the
fact that he smokes like a chimney, makes movies that even his fans call
'disturbed,' and is given to bouts of near-Tourettes anger when someone
puts him in *their* movie; he's famous, and that's all that counts."

That's really all that counts. Celebrity, or the semblance of it.

What I think this marketing approach appeals to is self importance. On a
fundamental level that many people call "reality," most people know that
they're Really Not That Important. They are just one more voice in a
choir of billions, on a tiny little rock in the uncharted backwaters of
an unregarded spiral galaxy in black space. But they'd like to BE
important. The appeal of the "celebrity spokesperson" is that people
subconsciously think that if they buy the product shilled by the
celebrity, a little of their Importance will rub off on them. The "good
cooties" will mystically jump off of the celebrity and land on them,
much in the same way that Woo Woo Rays emanate from the domes to all
parts of the environment and magically fix all of the problems of
society.

Color me not convinced. The only "TM celebrity" I am impressed with is
Clint, and that's because I got a chance to meet him once, and
discovered that he's basically a nice guy. But my suspicion is that the
niceguyness came first, long before he started TM; there is no
cause-and-effect relationship going on. I wouldn't rush to learn TM just
because I heard he practiced it.

I'm thinkin' that the TMO needs to "up the ante" a bit with this kind of
advertising. Instead of appealing just to the illusion of catching "good
cooties" by practicing the same technique the celebrities shill for,
promise them the opportunity to catch these cooties by rubbing up
against the celebrities themselves.

The kinda campaign I'm thinking of is along the lines of "Start TM, win
a hot date with Heather Graham or Raquel Zimmerman; 'sure thing' date
guaranteed." Or, for the ladies, "Win a night with Clint Eastwood or
Russell Brand, BYOK-Y."

I might actually go for that kind of marketing pitch. Although I might
not know who Raquel Zimmerman is, thanks to a movie called "Boogie
Nights" I have seen pretty much every square inch of Heather Graham, and
would gladly pony up for a lottery ticket that promised her as the Grand
Prize. I have no idea what she's like in person, but we're only talking
about one night, right, and the possibility of rubbing up against her
"good cooties." Spectacular cooties they are, too, based on filmic
evidence, and even I might be tempted to invest $1500 for a shot at
them. But to invest that much money just to be in the same
long-distance, never-likely-to-meet-her club of "TM meditators?" Not so
much. Catch a clue, TMO...put some real meat in your marketing campaign.

Then again, as has been said many times on this forum, I'm not yer
normal kinda guy. Many here seem to be continually impressed and even
wowed that they practice the same form of meditation as one of these Y
types. They trot out that fact as a kind of "last ditch" argument in
debates, "Yeah, but Oprah does TM! Take *that* you rabid anti-TMer,
you!" It doesn't work for me, but it seems to work for them. Perhaps one
or more of them can weigh in and explain why.

For the record, if the TMO took my suggestion and offered a night with
Oprah, that's just not gonna work with me. Better to offer a night of
conversation over a few glasses of good wine. I suspect she is a
wonderful lady, and I'd love to spend some t

You clearly say "Maharishi felt", I can't fathom him offering this as a
prescription for him and everyone else or stating that his views on it
would not change. He should have certainly been more forthright, that is
why I was always attracted to Osho who was brutally honest. But would it
have been counterproductive for Maharishi to have been more forthright?
It is certainly foolish to live up to someone's idealized external image
of a Guru.

I don't dismiss alleviating suffering as bleeding heart liberalism. I
dismiss the notion of alleviating suffering outside of us as bleeding
heart liberalism. I certainly see lot of value in feeding the poor,
helping the needy - I have always willingly donated money to any
homeless I came across on the streets of San Francisco and donated money
to Amma's charitable projects. However I deny there is any suffering
outside of us. I see a difference between pain and suffering.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Mantra Meditation

[Ravi Yogi]

I do think you are getting worked up. I got a mantra in 1995 when I
first met her but never chanted it much because it only made fall asleep
and I have never been fascinated with chanting mantras as a spiritual
practice.
But I hate to tell you the bad news, regardless of whether you chant
your mantra or not, whether you go see Amma again or not, the seed of
spirituality has been planted in you, the spiritual power of Ammachi is
such. You are on the fast path to self-knowledge and you will not be
truly content again till you end with self knowledge.

True, but the search is part of the process. Robin definitely seems one.
Because according to him his Unity experience was one where he was held

the blissful state, whereas my experience is completely different. I was
in Unity but my mind/intellect was continuously judging and making fun
of it. To avoid accountability for his actions Robin's intellect comes
up with an elaborate story, mind you Robin is very intelligent - I loved
his description of the state of enlightenment but its all intellectual
and zero experiential for him. That's why I call him TM's Prodigal Pimp
(Intellectual).
