[FairfieldLife] Movie review: In Time

[turquoiseb]

Pardon me, buddy, but can I bum four minutes for a cup of coffee?
That's a line that you might hear in the time ghettos of the world
portrayed in Andrew Niccol's In Time. As he demonstrated in The
Truman Show and Gattaca and S1mone, Niccol has a different
relationship with reality than most of us.

In the world of In Time, humans have a genetically-engineered
expiration date. As they turn 25, a digital readout on their arms starts
counting down the year they've got left. When the clock runs out, they
die. Except that this only happens to some of them. You can extend your
lifespan you see, by earning or borrowing or stealing time from someone
else. If you're from the poor time zones, when your countdown clock
starts approaching zero you work double shifts to keep the grim reaper
away. If you're from New Greenwich, and come from time in the same way
that people in Greenwich CT come from money, your readout probably has
hundreds of years on it, and you can effectively live forever.

One of the perks of this is that when you buy time after turning 25,
you stop aging. This leads to a few WTF moments such as Olivia Wilde
playing Justin Timberlake's mother :-), but is also funny when, after
scoring a shitload of time, he attends a New Greenwich party and is
introduced to the host's mother, wife, and daughter, all of whom appear
to be the same age.

All of this could make for an interesting movie, especially set against
the OWS rich-vs-poor dramas we see all around us these days. The
concepts are certainly there to work with. Sadly, I'm not convinced that
Niccol did as much with them as he could have. Suffice it to say that
the Bonnie And Clyde plotlines were not as well thought out as they
could have been. But at least it wasn't Just Another Cliche Science
Fiction Plot That I've Seen Hundreds Of Times Already, so I guess it was
worth the 109 minutes I spent on it.

There are many paths that lead to true happiness in the awareness of 'Christ' 
consciousness, TM is one.

God never had only ONE son, we are all the sons of daughters of the ONE God who 
lives in our hearts as our own soul, which can never be taken away nor live in 
an eternal damnation.

The concept of eternal damnation is a blasphemy of the teachings of Jesus 
Christ and the concept of an all loving merciful God.

The 'born again' experience some Christians have is just the beginning and a 
glimpse of what can be if they will practice what Jesus taught and Go and Sin 
no more, and Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father in heaven is 
perfect.

The kingdom of Heaven is within, my friend, that's where meditation takes 
you.

possessed this beautiful Earth. They have filled the earth with violence, 
drenched it often and often with human blood, destroyed civilization, and sent 
whole nations to despair. Had it not been for these horrible demons, human 
society would be far more advanced than it is now.

But their time is come; and I fervently hope that the bell that tolled this

I honestly think the issue is that she is so lost in

not being that way, too. If you say something positive 
about one of the people she obsesses on, in her mind

CurtisDb, Gawd dang it, would you please come back to meditation.  You could be 
very helpful if you'd just come to meditation again.  These are serious times.  
Come back.  You don't even have to believe you'd do any good but the science 
shows good you would.   It may be now or never.  Like read the fricking news or 
read the science on global climate change.  Cast down the blues and come change 
the course of things with us spiritually.

Even if the TM-Rajas won't let you back in, come meditate in the parking lot as 
part of  Occupy the Dome in Fairfield.  We could use your help with the 
numbers.

[FairfieldLife] Mikko and 'sa' (do)

[cardemaister]

Almost everybody even up in Minnesota might well be aware,
that Sa Re/Ri Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni and Sa are the Do Re Mi, etc.
of Indian Classical Music, whether Hindustani (North-ish)
or Carnatic (South-ish).

Just heard Magnus Mikael Pide von Hertzen aka Mikko von Hertzen
(Mick from/out of Hearts?) from the rock band 'von Hertzen Brothers'
claim that he once heard an Indian performer to tune up, or whatever,
the note 'sa' for some five minutes to make sure he's got it
absolutely right, whilst the audience was completely silent!

Mikko said he got goose pumps outta that!

[FairfieldLife] Re: Everyone here in my FFL mind

[maskedzebra]

RESPONSE:

You're too subtle for all of us, Curtis. But I declare your response here to 
Judy BS. But it is Curtis BS, which, as I say, is something more complex and 
intricate than can be grasped or understood by a mind less than your own. But I 
will make a bet with you: I am confident there is a dark side to Curtis—and it 
is possible to provoke this unacknowledged side of you. Are you willing to go 
on the record and say: No, I don't have a dark side, and no one therefore can 
draw out of me that which does not exist?

you make up your own reality. You deconstruct the reality of others. You impose 
your own context. You take away the context of other people. Your positivity is 
a form of intense and brilliant negativity. Why is this positive intention and 
modus operandi negative? Because it simply ignores, tramples over, destroys, 
banishes the reality of another person who would argue with you. You are both 
seductive and aggressive. And your ruthlessness knows no mercy.

You are such a master of yourself, Curtis, that you manipulate reality. I have 
never known anyone who could do this. Your response to my letter implies that I 
am flighty, neurotic, paranoid, hyper-sensitive, and deceived—that is, on the 
basis of misinterpreting you. I do not recognize these qualities in myself. But 
you see in your response, and then in this response to Judy, you cunningly 
uphold your game. And everyone who reads what you say—to me, now here to 
Judy—thinks to themselves: Well, I guess Robin and Judy were wrong, because the 
righteousness of Curtis, even the saintliness of Curtis, shines through here. 
And first Robin, then Judy, are refuted. It just feels this must be so.

But this is just your power to remake reality into the image of what suits your 
own purposes. No human being can claim to do what you do, Curtis. It is a kind 
of scary and ultimate self-suficiency that is born of a tremendous hatred of 
the authority of reality.

Something like that.

But I was wondering whether you would, because this really means something to 
me, put in a good word for me with Barry. Can you do that? Like tell him you 
are pretty sure I am not a faggot. Willing to do that? Because, as you can 
imagine, what he said to me was pretty hurtful, although of course I tried to 
slough it off with my predictable irony. But it has left a scar.

Hey, Curtis! This whole post that you just read here, it was my attempt to pull 
my old extreme metaphysical theatre on you! I was just doing an Andy Kaufman. 
Really. But do you know what? I THINK IT ALMOST WORKED. What do *you* say?

No, I love you, Curtis, and you are a beautiful human being. This has been my 
experience from the beginning. I am not about to change my mind now.

Please give me some of that old time positivity in your response to all this.

I am trying to get my black belt in mind-f**k. As I am sure you can see in 
reading this post.

May I join forces with you and give Judy hell on your behalf?

No, you don't need any help, Curtis. And I say—in all seriousness—you are the 
best.

It's just what you are best at is not, when it really comes down to it, a nice 
thing.

My opinion, mind you.

And remember: In responding to this, Be Positive.

Your writing buddy Robin

Well, it's not a false case, but please note (how did you

You've also defended Barry to me a number of times, and
we had a whole thread in which you defended Vaj; and on
one occasion awhile back you took me severely to task for
what you perceived (incorrectly) to be an attack on Ruth.
And those are just three examples.

Yup. I'm just describing the bed you've made for yourself,
which involves defending certain of your buddies from
criticism, but never defending the folks those buddies
attack. (Makes it a little awkward when one of the buddies
you normally defend attacks one of your more recently
established buddies.)

 I don't join feuds, I don't take tribal sides, and I wouldn't
 post something I didn't believe just because it supported
 someone I enjoy here against their feuding partner.

Nobody's asking you to do that.

  Maybe so. He's never dealt well with alpha males (or alpha
  females, for that matter). He was able to forge a sort of
  nonaggression pact with Curtis,
 
 The non conspiracy theory name for this is that we like
 each other.  Novel concept, I know.

Yes, forging nonaggression pacts is what alpha males
who like each other have to do. Has nothing to do

[FairfieldLife] Movie review: Another Earth

[turquoiseb]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8hEwMMDtFY

If you're up for a thoughtful science fiction film that
manages to pull off deep insight with almost zero special
effects, this one is for you. Made on an almost zero budget
by director Mike Cahill and his co-writer/star Brit Marling,
this film was entered quietly at Sundance last year and 
wound up winning the Alfred P. Sloan Feature Film Prize 
as well as the Special Jury Prize.

Brit Marling is phenomenal in the role she wrote herself,
as a young woman whose life changes in an instant because
of a mistake she made when she first heard of the sudden
appearance of a second mirror-image Earth in our skies. 
Filled with regret for her mistake, she enters a contest 
to voyage to this other planet before even learning that 
it's filled with not just people like us, but US. 

For each one of us on this earth, there is a counterpart 
on Earth 2. She's hoping that there is some possibility 
that things worked out better for her counterpart there 
in this other reality, and that she'll be able to gain 
some of that comfort for herself. Slow, thoughtful, and 
lovely, this is about as far from what you'd normally
think of as a science fiction film as you can imagine. 
But that's part of what makes it so interesting. IMO 
it's worth a rental for those not afraid of thinking, 
and occasionally even feeling.

Curtis has known exactly what I really think of him for
quite a few years now. We have disagreements concerning
certain ethical principles, such as his refusal to
defend anybody from unfair attack by one of his buddies,
while often defending a buddy from criticisms made by
one of those the buddy has attacked.

And no, I don't think he does it to fuck with me; I'm
only one of the people he refrains from defending. His
failure to defend Robin from your attacks are one of
the most recent examples.

He does it in an attempt to avoid conflict with people
he likes, even when they're clearly in the wrong.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Everyone here in my FFL mind

[whynotnow7]

Its called wedge politics, Cherry. Since you are trying for a favorable 
impression with Curtis, you try to make Judy look bad, in the hopes that the 
electorate (Curtis) will swing to your point of view. Sorry, but your name 
ain't Cherry fer nuthin;.

 component (check the parenthetical).

I did catch that.  I was objecting to the pack thing.

 
  I have a long history of dealing with each person here on a
  post to post basis.
 
 But you're happy to bring up perceived past slights
 if it suits your purposes.

Probably true.  I am not claiming not to feel things.  I am just making my own 
choices on how to respond, doing my best to work with what is in the fresh post.

 
  I don't care what anyone thinks of anyone else here.
 
 You know what would work better if you were trying to make
 this false case?  If you didn't do it in the context of 
 your defense of az to Jim.

Your framing of a defense for Az is erroneous.  I believed it was a misread by 
Jim and I could be wrong.  It isn't a defense if the person misread the 
intention of a satire to point that out.  If Az comes out with a follow-up that 
he really meant that stuff and I defended him somehow, that would be a defense.

 
 Sheesh, Curtis! Have you not had your coffee yet, or
 what??

Half Sumatra (for body) half French roast (for the Satan flavor)


 
 You've also defended Barry to me a number of times, and
 we had a whole thread in which you defended Vaj; and on
 one occasion awhile back you took me severely to task for
 what you perceived (incorrectly) to be an attack on Ruth.
 And those are just three examples.

 Yup. I'm just describing the bed you've made for yourself,
 which involves defending certain of your buddies from

 attack. (Makes it a little awkward when one of the buddies
 you normally defend attacks one of your more recently
 established buddies.)

No it doesn't.  Robin is doing fine defending himself and my parodies are

Judy and Barry, fess up. What kind of hot relationship did or are you two 
having?
 It is obvious, there is some chemistry between you. 
Was Judy the one Barry was banging when the Merv show incident came out?  
 Barry is probably not in some coffee house in Amsterdam, he is most likely 
sitting right next to or Judy is sitting on his lap typing all this. Barry, 
puffing on a cigar, five o'clock shadow, robe open, grey hair fluffing out as 
Judy thinks kitty, rubs her hand on the keys, stroking the ever graceful polite 
compliments he suggests.

I think you should do it more often, because the only

It IS, after all, one of the only rational reasons why

 RESPONSE:
 
 You're too subtle for all of us, Curtis. But I declare your response here to 
 Judy BS. But it is Curtis BS, which, as I say, is something more complex and 
 intricate than can be grasped or understood by a mind less than your own. But 
 I will make a bet with you: I am confident there is a dark side to Curtis—and 
 it is possible to provoke this unacknowledged side of you. Are you willing to 
 go on the record and say: No, I don't have a dark side, and no one therefore 
 can draw out of me that which does not exist?


I have more than a dark side, I am completely black inside.  I have my share of 
antagonistic discussions here.  But I find that if I can get past that if a new 
post comes in from a friendly spot from someone I have been fighting with, it 
is an opportunity that I don't want to piss away with some version ofYeah well 
that isn't what you said before butthole.  I believe in the constant ability 
for all of us to achieve redemption.


 
 you make up your own reality. You deconstruct the reality of others. You 
 impose your own context. You take away the context of other people.


Around here we call that being human.


 Your positivity is a form of intense and brilliant negativity. Why is this 
positive intention and modus operandi negative? Because it simply ignores, 
tramples over, destroys, banishes the reality of another person who would argue 
with you. You are both seductive and aggressive. And your ruthlessness knows no 
mercy.


Mindfuckery of the highest order.  This is not your first rodeo brother.  Black 
is white, up is down.


 
 You are such a master of yourself, Curtis, that you manipulate reality. I 
 have never known anyone who could do this. Your response to my letter implies 
 that I am flighty, neurotic, paranoid, hyper-sensitive, and deceived—that is, 
 on the basis of misinterpreting you.

Then we didn't read the same post. I believe you were incorrect in your 
assumptions about where I was coming from.


 I do not recognize these qualities in myself. But you see in your response, 
and then in this response to Judy, you cunningly uphold your game. And everyone 
who reads what you say—to me, now here to Judy—thinks to themselves: Well, I 
guess Robin and Judy were wrong, because the righteousness of Curtis, even the 
saintliness of Curtis, shines through here. And first Robin, then Judy, are 
refuted. It just feels this must be so.


But in this case you really were both wrong about my intentions.  I am the one 
who would know having some inside knowledge on the topic of myself.  But I 
stand corrected all the time here when I misread so don't take it too hard.  We 
all get our turn. And I am prone to seeing something to take personally that 
are not there in posts. just ask Judy who is the most likely target for my 
occasional touchiness.  


 
 But this is just your power to remake reality into the image of what suits 
 your own purposes. No human being can claim to do what you do, Curtis. It is 
 a kind of scary and ultimate self-suficiency that is born of a tremendous 
 hatred of the authority of reality.



This wouldn't be the same butthole who sent me a plague of bedbugs which 
required me to spend the last week bagging up everything I own and emptying 
every closet and drawer, piling up all my possessions in the middle of my 
apartment like a yard sale Tower of Babel of my whole life?  And I get to live 
this way for the next 3 weeks while my apartment is saturated by some version 
of Martin chemistry whose affects on humans haven't had time to be tested?  
Yeah, there is a bit of hater-aid in my fridge for that guy. Because if it 
wasn't evolution who turned the bat blood sucking bugs on the top of early 
man's caves into the creature who dines on us, if it was a conscious choice by 
a being who knew what a petulance this would be for man...let's just say my 
Christmas card list just got one card shorter. 

(Word to the wise, put on a very good mattress cover and check it frequently. 
Mine may have saved my ass in catching this in time.)

 
 Something like that.
 
 But I was wondering whether you would, because this really means something to 
 me, put in a good word for me with Barry. Can you do that? Like tell him you 
 are pretty sure I am not a faggot. Willing to do that? Because, as you can 
 imagine, what he said to me was pretty hurtful, although of course I tried to 
 slough it off with my predictable irony. But it has left a scar.

   and Jim whose positive interactions with me are both evidence 
   that I do not act this way here.
   
   I have a long history of dealing with each person here on a 
   post to post basis. I don't care what anyone thinks of anyone 
   else here. I don't even care if the post with me before was a 
   fight. If the new post is a real connection, I run with that 
   and forget the past animosity. I am only interested in pursuing 
   the best version of communication I can achieve.
   
   We are all choosing the interactions we want with each other.  
   Everyone is sleeping in the bed they made themselves here.
   
   I don't join feuds, I don't take tribal sides, and I wouldn't 
   post something I didn't believe just because it supported 
   someone I enjoy here against their feuding partner.
   
   And you of anyone here should know that Judy.
  
  I honestly think the issue is that she is so lost in 
  such a constant state of obsession and revenge-seeking 
  that she simply cannot conceive of you or anyone else 
  not being that way, too. If you say something positive 
  about one of the people she obsesses on, in her mind 
  the only possible explanation for that is that you are 
  doing it to fuck with her. It's always all about Judy. 
  
  At least now you know what she really thinks of you.
 
 Curtis has known exactly what I really think of him for
 quite a few years now. We have disagreements concerning
 certain ethical principles, such as his refusal to
 defend anybody from unfair attack by one of his buddies,
 while often defending a buddy from criticisms made by
 one of those the buddy has attacked.
 
 And no, I don't think he does it to fuck with me; I'm
 only one of the people he refrains from defending. His
 failure to defend Robin from your attacks are one of
 the most recent examples.
 
 He does it in an attempt to avoid conflict with people

   Maybe so, but az's usual toxic mean-spiritedness makes
   it hard to tell.
  
  Agreed. But the whole point was about dry humor so it fit.
 
 Fit what?? What does dry humor have to do with toxic 
 mean-spiritedness?


I made my case for how I saw it already.


 
 az and Barry and Curtis and Vaj all stick together to
 defend each other from criticism and attack each other's
 critics; haven't you noticed? (Barry and az and Vaj do
 most of the attacking; Curtis mostly plays defense.)

You know what would work better if you were trying to make
this false case?  If you didn't do it in the context of you
and Jim whose positive interactions with me are both evidence
that I do not act this way here.
   
   Well, it's not a false case, but please note (how did you
   miss it??) that I specifically exempted you from the attack
   component (check the parenthetical).
  
  I did catch that.  I was objecting to the pack thing.
 
 Nice sidestep, but not convincing.


Labeling the truth as a sidestep doesn't work outside your own mind.


 
I don't care what anyone thinks of anyone else here.
   
   You know what would work better if you were trying to make
   this false case?  If you didn't do it in the context of 
   your defense of az to Jim.
  
  Your framing of a defense for Az is erroneous.  I believed it
  was a misread by Jim and I could be wrong.  It isn't a defense
  if the person misread the intention of a satire to point that
  out.  If Az comes out with a follow-up that he really meant
  that stuff and I defended him somehow, that would be a defense.
 
 Well, that's a very creative distinction, but I'm not
 buying it. *Of course* it's a defense to suggest that
 someone misread somebody else's intentions.
 
 And of course it contradicts your claim that you don't
 care what anyone thinks of anyone else here. You cared
 enough about what Jim said about az to attempt to correct
 what you believed was his misimpression.


No it doesn't.  If Az and Jim hate each other, it is none of my business.  I 
was clearing up what I believe is a miscommunication.  And if it fit your 
agenda, you would see this obvious distinction. But I could be wrong.  Maybe Az 
used the chance to get in some shots on Jim and Jim was reacting appropriately 
to the actual intent.  I was just giving my opinion.

 
 Plus which, as I went on to point out, you've done the
 same thing regarding Barry and Vaj and Ruth:
 
   You've also defended Barry to me a number of times, and
   we had a whole thread in which you defended Vaj; and on
   one occasion awhile back you took me severely to task for
   what you perceived (incorrectly) to be an attack on Ruth.
   And those are just three examples.
 
 No comment from you.

If you are making a case that I often see things the way people I seem to have 
more intellectual affinity with and therefor are more likely to see it their 
way, guilty as charged.  And I am not imposing some kind of rule about when I 
will jump in here.  But I have been pretty consistent staying out of your deal 
with Barry and am doing so with the Robin Barry deal.  I can easily imagine 
defending Ruth because I had a lot of intellectual common ground with her.  And 
it isn't defending Vaj to voice my opinion about his teacher's status. You are 
couching these interactions in the language of your feud perspective.

 
We are all choosing the interactions we want with each other.
Everyone is sleeping in the bed they made themselves here.
   
   Yup. I'm just describing the bed you've made for yourself,
   which involves defending certain of your buddies from
   criticism, but never defending the folks those buddies
   attack. (Makes it a little awkward when one of the buddies
   you normally defend attacks one of your more recently
   established buddies.)
  
  No it doesn't.  Robin is doing fine defending himself and
  my parodies are working just fine in conveying my POV on
  it all.  How Robin and Barry want to converse here is not 
  interesting to me. And I don't defend my buddies in the
  way you imply.  I speak up with my opinion about topics
  and try to stay out of the feuding on both sides.
 
 But oddly enough, it always seems to work out

I haven't had a perfectionist standard running on myself since I left the

actualizing the goal of human life, the highest attainment gained only by 
saints of the past, the immortal, invincible, unmovable state of perfection 
known as enlightenment, and which is such a high attainment in this world that 
(according to Maharishi) it is the envy of the very angels themselves who lack 
the human nervous system.

streak, and TM looked as if it were a way to reach that
goal. You changed your mind about that, but you still have
the perfectionist streak. You just frame it differently
and use different means to try to achieve it.

 And you got my goat enough to respond to this characterization
 AGAIN, so I guess it still works for you.
 
 I haven't had a perfectionist standard running on myself since
 I left the movement and extracted it.  I am comfortable being
 a flawed human

Who is completely free of any residual resentments, unlike
everybody else in the world. Guess you must have extracted
those as well, right?

 No it doesn't.  If Az and Jim hate each other, it is none

 this obvious distinction.

Has nothing to do with az and Jim hating each other.
Has to do with your not wanting Jim to think az was

[FairfieldLife] Re: Movie review: In Time

[turquoiseb]

Still tripping on this movie somewhat, it strikes me that what is
interesting about it is the very thing that I find interesting in other
good science fiction. That is, the minutiae of everyday life that would
be taken for granted if you suspend disbelief and assume that the
assumptions in the film are true.

What would be the *environment* created by a world in which you
can live forever, if you can afford to?

Niccol's film does IMO more justice to these minutiae than it does
to important things like plot and good storytelling. For example, he
just *nails* the insight that the first thing that would happen to the
rich who realize that they can live forever would be paranoia about
being killed or accidentally dying. The rich in this film really feel
that they cannot go anywhere or do anything unless 1) it is in their
own exclusive, protected neighborhood (time zone in the film),
and 2) that they can't even do that unless accompanied by one or
more bodyguards. That is SO what they'd do.

Another detail is that they'd be bored shitless by their lives. Living
in
a protective bubble is as dissatisfying in this fictional world as
living
in Fairfield or any other pseudo-utopia is in the real one.

I really liked the detail in the film of real do-gooders opening time
shelters where those whose clocks are about to run out can come
and get a handout of another day of life. That was real. People in
such a world would do that. And they'd be the only ones worth
knowing and hanging with.

I also loved the detail of how the richest man in the world, the New
Greenwich zillionaire whose net worth consists of literally millions
of years of time, refuses to pay a ransom for his daughter, to save
her life. I've known people in Greenwich CT who would do the
same thing. Their responsibility to their shareholders overrides
their responsibility to their family.

And I liked the idea of a kind of time poker. Two people sit down
at a table, link wrists so as to exchange time credits with each other,
and play the game all in. That is, the first person to run out of
credits dies...right there, on the spot. And I like the hero of the
movie's insight into how to always win. That's really it, and the
secret that the samurai knew. To be undefeatable in a battle to
the death, you have to be comfortable with having already died.
Those who are attached to life never are.

 Pardon me, buddy, but can I bum four minutes for a cup of coffee?
 That's a line that you might hear in the time ghettos of the world
 portrayed in Andrew Niccol's In Time. As he demonstrated in The
 Truman Show and Gattaca and S1mone, Niccol has a different
 relationship with reality than most of us.

 In the world of In Time, humans have a genetically-engineered
 expiration date. As they turn 25, a digital readout on their arms
starts
 counting down the year they've got left. When the clock runs out, they
 die. Except that this only happens to some of them. You can extend
your
 lifespan you see, by earning or borrowing or stealing time from
someone
 else. If you're from the poor time zones, when your countdown clock
 starts approaching zero you work double shifts to keep the grim reaper
 away. If you're from New Greenwich, and come from time in the same
way
 that people in Greenwich CT come from money, your readout probably
has
 hundreds of years on it, and you can effectively live forever.

 One of the perks of this is that when you buy time after turning 25,
 you stop aging. This leads to a few WTF moments such as Olivia Wilde
 playing Justin Timberlake's mother :-), but is also funny when, after
 scoring a shitload of time, he attends a New Greenwich party and is
 introduced to the host's mother, wife, and daughter, all of whom
appear
 to be the same age.

 All of this could make for an interesting movie, especially set
against
 the OWS rich-vs-poor dramas we see all around us these days. The
 concepts are certainly there to work with. Sadly, I'm not convinced
that
 Niccol did as much with them as he could have. Suffice it to say that
 the Bonnie And Clyde plotlines were not as well thought out as they
 could have been. But at least it wasn't Just Another Cliche Science
 Fiction Plot That I've Seen Hundreds Of Times Already, so I guess it
was
 worth the 109 minutes I spent on it.

[FairfieldLife] Prime Minster Dr Bevan Morris reported on recent advances in the Movement.

[nablusoss1008]

Maharishi's Global Family Chat Summary
October 28, 2011


Prime Minster Dr Bevan Morris reported on recent advances in the Movement.


Dr Morris began by commenting on how powerful the three Vedic performances were 
on the 24th, 25th, and 26th in enlivening the qualities of Dhanvantari, Hanuman 
and Mahalakshmi.

The Vedic Pandits have become very mature and dignified in their glorious role 
of reciting softly in the low and slow way Maharishi trained them. So they are 
Self-referral when reciting the nitya and apaurusheya (eternal and uncreated) 
sounds of Veda. Maharishi said the Pandits provide a `turnkey operation' for 
bringing heaven on earth – they unlock the special evolutionary quality of the 
day for the whole world, so we can accomplish in a few hours what would 
otherwise take a long time.

For example on Mahalakshmi day the quality of wealth, affluence, and success is 
awakened on the physical, mental and spiritual levels for the whole world, and 
it happened that the European leaders found a solution to the economic problems 
on Mahalakshmi day after many months of trying.



The indications of a great change in the fortune of the world have been 
increasing lately:

Shankaracharya Maharaj of Jyotir Math telephoned Maharaja Raam on Mahalakshmi 
day to give his blessings to everyone in the whole family of the Global Country 
of World Peace




• The first courses have begun in the Brahmasthan (geographical centre) of 
India.

• The new course of listening to the Vedic sounds while watching the model of 
Veda in human physiology has been an extraordinary and unexpected success at 
Maharishi University of Management, USA. People are having wonderful 
experiences of higher states of consciousness and healing of old health 
problems. The first course had 50 people, and the 5th course had 350, with 
people unable to fit into the hall. What was thought to have been developed by 
Maharishi as a teaching aid turns out to be a powerful technique for 
enlightenment. The course will be offered at Meru by Drs Alaric and Cynthia 
Arenander in December.

• Experiences of higher states of consciousness also continue to grow and 
refine in the Invincible America Assembly, leading the way for enlightenment 
for each of us and for world peace.

• The Purusha Capital of the Western World in West Virginia, USA, is ready for 
occupation within a week. It has been a huge work of dedication and the 
presence of the Purusha group close to the capital, Washington D.C., will have 
a beneficial effect for America. 



• Purusha held their 30th Anniversary recently, during which Raja Luis offered 
three pieces of news that took place on that auspicious day:

ETA formally renounced violence.

The government of a major country in Latin America undertook to train and 
support a professional group of 1,500 Yogic Flyers – the square root of 1% of 
the population – to create invincibility for the nation.

President Chissano announced that he will re-establish the group of Yogic 
Flyers for Mozambique, and then he will visit other heads of state and tell 
them to do the same for their nations.

• Raja Luis also gave the news that a delegation from the congress of Brazil 
visited Maharishi Free School in the UK. They were so impressed by the quality 
of education, and above all by the quality of the young students, that they 
signed an agreement for all the students of one state of their nation to learn 
Transcendental Meditation – about a million students.

Dr Morris said that every country should invite their government to send a 
delegation to the UK school or to the Maharishi School in the USA.

It is the taste, the experience, that really impresses people and changes their 
perception.

• Some very good guests have visited the MUM/Maharishi Vedic City/Fairfield 
community recently, including a top Indian leader. It very quickly becomes 
clear from visitors' interactions with students, and the experience of 
meditating in the Golden Domes, that Maharishi created a new civilization there 
that is not only supporting enlightened individuals, but is also transforming 
the nation by raising the collective consciousness. A visit to the school also 
makes it clear that a new generation is coming that is born for this knowledge 
and reality.

   was a misread by Jim and I could be wrong.  It isn't a defense
   if the person misread the intention of a satire to point that
   out.  If Az comes out with a follow-up that he really meant
   that stuff and I defended him somehow, that would be a defense.
  
  Well, that's a very creative distinction, but I'm not
  buying it. *Of course* it's a defense to suggest that
  someone misread somebody else's intentions.
  
  And of course it contradicts your claim that you don't
  care what anyone thinks of anyone else here. You cared
  enough about what Jim said about az to attempt to correct
  what you believed was his misimpression.
 
 
 No it doesn't.  If Az and Jim hate each other, it is none of my business.  I 
 was clearing up what I believe is a miscommunication.  And if it fit your 
 agenda, you would see this obvious distinction. But I could be wrong.  Maybe 
 Az used the chance to get in some shots on Jim and Jim was reacting 
 appropriately to the actual intent.  I was just giving my opinion.
 
  
  Plus which, as I went on to point out, you've done the
  same thing regarding Barry and Vaj and Ruth:
  
You've also defended Barry to me a number of times, and
we had a whole thread in which you defended Vaj; and on
one occasion awhile back you took me severely to task for
what you perceived (incorrectly) to be an attack on Ruth.
And those are just three examples.
  
  No comment from you.
 
 If you are making a case that I often see things the way people I seem to 
 have more intellectual affinity with and therefor are more likely to see it 
 their way, guilty as charged.  And I am not imposing some kind of rule about 
 when I will jump in here.  But I have been pretty consistent staying out of 
 your deal with Barry and am doing so with the Robin Barry deal.  I can easily 
 imagine defending Ruth because I had a lot of intellectual common ground with 
 her.  And it isn't defending Vaj to voice my opinion about his teacher's 
 status. You are couching these interactions in the language of your feud 
 perspective.
 
  
 We are all choosing the interactions we want with each other.
 Everyone is sleeping in the bed they made themselves here.

Yup. I'm just describing the bed you've made for yourself,
which involves defending certain of your buddies from
criticism, but never defending the folks those buddies
attack. (Makes it a little awkward when one of the buddies
you normally defend attacks one of your more recently
established buddies.)
   
   No it doesn't.  Robin is doing fine defending himself and
   my parodies are working just fine in conveying my POV on
   it all.  How Robin

 I have to admit, AZ, that among all of the many
 theories proposed here on FFL to try to explain
 why Judy is so chronically angry and why she acts
 the way she does, your cat lady theory is the best.

 Doesn't it just FIT? An already-angry 70-year-old
 woman with no friends, living alone in Buttfuck, NJ,
 and what happens? The authorities come and take away
 her dozens of cats for public health reasons. But
 they don't take away the cigarettes, so she fires
 one up, allows the nicotine to further poison her
 already-poisonous system, and decides to post to FFL,
 thinking, I NEED an argument.

 So she starts one with Curtis, quickly turning it
 into an opportunity to dump on Vaj, since he won't
 argue with her. Then she starts another argument
 with Mike, quickly turning that into an opportunity
 to dump on Barry, because he won't argue with her,
 either. It's Maharishi-like: Every post is a perfect
 opportunity to start an argument, and every argument
 is the perfect opportunity to re-run the obsessions
 I have already prepared.  :-)

 Good fantasy image of her. Explains pretty much
 everything.
   
BREAKING NEWS! Barry is beginning to realize his
notions about me are fantasies! This is hopeful,
folks. Maybe he's making some progress at emerging
from his solipsistic Barryworld. Could be
overwhelming, though, for him to start confronting
reality after all these years; we need to be gentle
with him as he does so, or he may find it all too
much and retreat again.
   
Can we dare to expect he'll bring az with him out
of the fog? Stay tuned...

 Prime Minster Dr Bevan Morris reported on recent advances in the Movement.


 Dr Morris began by commenting on how powerful the three Vedic performances
 were on the 24th, 25th, and 26th in enlivening the qualities of
 Dhanvantari, Hanuman and Mahalakshmi.

 The Vedic Pandits have become very mature and dignified in their glorious
 role of reciting softly in the low and slow way Maharishi trained them. So
 they are Self-referral when reciting the nitya and apaurusheya (eternal and
 uncreated) sounds of Veda. Maharishi said the Pandits provide a `turnkey
 operation' for bringing heaven on earth – they unlock the special
 evolutionary quality of the day for the whole world, so we can accomplish
 in a few hours what would otherwise take a long time.


Yes, that would explain why the other mandap, the one on private property
in Vedic City, doesn't employ these pundits.   Nor why I no longer bother
with former Maharishi pundits and instead utilize the most experienced
priests in Varansi and Kanchipurinam.

Of course Dr. BM would be able to discern, on the level these rituals
affect, just how much power these boys created.   It's a wonderful world
the TMO operates in, where the opera, the opera goers and the critical
reviews are all the same people, only bearing different exalted titles.

wonder if it affected experiments at LHC? One can almost feel the effect - at

 operation' for bringing heaven on earth – they unlock the special 
 evolutionary quality of the day for the whole world, so we can accomplish in 
 a few hours what would otherwise take a long time.
 
 For example on Mahalakshmi day the quality of wealth, affluence, and success 
 is awakened on the physical, mental and spiritual levels for the whole world, 
 and it happened that the European leaders found a solution to the economic 
 problems on Mahalakshmi day after many months of trying.
 
 
 
 The indications of a great change in the fortune of the world have been 
 increasing lately:
 
 Shankaracharya Maharaj of Jyotir Math telephoned Maharaja Raam on Mahalakshmi 
 day to give his blessings to everyone in the whole family of the Global 
 Country of World Peace
 
 
 
 
 • The first courses have begun in the Brahmasthan (geographical centre) of 
 India.
 
 • The new course of listening to the Vedic sounds while watching the model of 
 Veda in human physiology has been an extraordinary and unexpected success at 
 Maharishi University of Management, USA. People are having wonderful 
 experiences of higher states of consciousness and healing of old health 
 problems. The first course had 50 people, and the 5th course had 350, with 
 people unable to fit into the hall. What was thought to have been developed 
 by Maharishi as a teaching aid turns out to be a powerful technique for 
 enlightenment. The course will be offered at Meru by Drs Alaric and Cynthia 
 Arenander in December.
 
 • Experiences of higher states of consciousness also continue to grow and 
 refine in the Invincible America Assembly, leading the way for enlightenment 
 for each of us and for world peace.
 
 • The Purusha Capital of the Western World in West Virginia, USA, is ready 
 for occupation within a week. It has been a huge work of dedication and the 
 presence of the Purusha group close to the capital, Washington D.C., will 
 have a beneficial effect for America. 
 
 
 
 • Purusha held their 30th Anniversary recently, during which Raja Luis 
 offered three pieces of news that took place on that auspicious day:
 
 ETA formally renounced violence.
 
 The government of a major country in Latin America undertook to train and 
 support a professional group of 1,500 Yogic Flyers – the square root of 1% of 
 the population – to create invincibility for the nation.
 
 President Chissano announced that he will re-establish the group of Yogic 
 Flyers for Mozambique, and then he will visit other heads of state and tell 
 them to do the same for their nations.
 
 • Raja Luis also gave the news that a delegation from the congress of Brazil 
 visited Maharishi Free School in the UK. They were so impressed by the 
 quality of education, and above all by the quality of the young students, 
 that they signed an agreement for all the students of one state of their 
 nation to learn Transcendental Meditation – about a million students.
 
 Dr Morris said that every country should invite their government to send a 
 delegation to the UK school or to the Maharishi School in the USA.
 
 It is the taste, the experience, that really impresses people and changes 
 their perception.
 
 • Some very good guests have visited the MUM/Maharishi Vedic City/Fairfield 
 community recently, including a top Indian leader. It very quickly becomes 
 clear from visitors' interactions with students, and the experience of 
 meditating in the Golden Domes, that Maharishi created a new civilization 
 there that is not only supporting enlightened individuals, but is also 
 transforming the nation by raising the collective consciousness. A visit to 
 the school also makes it clear that a new generation is coming that is born 
 for this knowledge and reality.

Well, there are agents involved, payments on a house, upkeep on mandaps,
bribes, the usual corrupt 3rd world stuff.  So, we're talking $60 a day for
a very experienced pundit, a pundit who works with the Shank.   Yes, a lot
of money.  But I'm talking about priests who can pull down that kind of
money, the competition for their serves are so keen.  No prasad but get to
hear the sankalpa, live, from India.  Do they work?   Heck yes.  Most
amazing things, many of which I can't share right now because they involve
MUM faculty (hahahaha).   Most amazing lurches forward in comprehension and
clarity of consciousness in myself and the group I pay the sponsorship fees
for.  Very amazing lurches forward.  Nothing like AOL, TM/TMSP, that sort
of pablum.   5 priest a day have the same effect, IME, as 500+ Maharishi
(TM) pundits, 500+ former Maharishi (TM) pundits.  So about as much
progress as one can make without turning into a cinder goes for $300 a day
then couple times a month, every single senior temple priest in the
Kancipurinam area, a couple dozen of them.  That's in the thousands of $ a
day.Don't try this at home.  The purification of the subtle body
causing changes in the gross body can be pretty gruesome.   Tonight is the
last night of 16 days of Rahu/Ketu/Lakshmi/Mryityunjay with 5 priests.
Close to horrifying stuff but once again, pretty amazing sharpening of
experiences, intellect and massive increases in, well, Sport of Nature.

  of the population – to create invincibility for the nation.
  
  President Chissano announced that he will re-establish the group of Yogic 
  Flyers for Mozambique, and then he will visit other heads of state and tell 
  them to do the same for their nations.
  
  • Raja Luis also gave the news that a delegation from the congress of 
  Brazil visited Maharishi Free School in the UK. They were so impressed by 
  the quality of education, and above all by the quality of the young 
  students, that they signed an agreement for all the students of one state 
  of their nation to learn Transcendental Meditation – about a million 
  students.
  
  Dr Morris said that every country should invite their government to send a 
  delegation to the UK school or to the Maharishi School in the USA.
  
  It is the taste, the experience, that really impresses people and changes 
  their perception.
  
  • Some very good guests have visited the MUM/Maharishi Vedic City/Fairfield 
  community recently, including a top Indian leader. It very quickly becomes 
  clear from visitors' interactions with students, and the experience of 
  meditating in the Golden Domes, that Maharishi created a new civilization 
  there that is not only supporting enlightened individuals, but is also 
  transforming the nation by raising the collective consciousness. A visit to 
  the school also makes it clear that a new generation is coming that is born 
  for this knowledge and reality.

[FairfieldLife] MOVIE REVIEW: KUMARE, a documentary about fake guru

[Jean]

You are all great beings and you must stop pretending that you are not. - 
Kumare

I found Kumare to be a surprisingly sweet and gentle, albeit extremely 
controversial, documentary; which was conceived and directed by, Vikram Gandhi, 
a New Jersey-born American of East Indian decent.  It was beautifully filmed 
with excellent audio.  The documentary follows Gandhi as he playfully dresses 
up as an Indian Guru and watches the response he gets in India and in the U.S.  
Then he decided to see if his alter ego as an Indian Guru, could get a 
following.  So he went to Phoenix where he knew no one and started his own 
teachings as the Indian Guru, Kumare.  His teachings consisted of made-up 
chants, fake yogic postures and a blue light meditation which he created 
himself.  He also spoke in an Indian accent, dressed in robes, wore his hair 
long and behaved in a way that made people think he was not familiar with 
western culture.

 Well, there are agents involved, payments on a house, upkeep on mandaps, 
 bribes, the usual corrupt 3rd world stuff.  So, we're talking $60 a day for a 
 very experienced pundit, a pundit who works with the Shank.   Yes, a lot of 
 money.  But I'm talking about priests who can pull down that kind of money, 
 the competition for their serves are so keen.  No prasad but get to hear the 
 sankalpa, live, from India.  Do they work?   Heck yes.  Most amazing things, 
 many of which I can't share right now because they involve MUM faculty 
 (hahahaha).

I'm not getting you here. The reason many people do not sponsor yagyas is 
simply from the fact that when the TMO began selling them, they were jived as 
being SO special, it was no big deal that they cost thousands and thousands of 
dollars (even if they cost mere rupees in Bharata). After all, putting a 
steering wheel on the Unified Field of All the Laws of Nature so you could 
drive must have had it's price! Pay up.

What I'd heard is that many groups had been founded, not really different from 
pricey TM yagya groups, but for much less.

   Most amazing lurches forward in comprehension and clarity of consciousness 
 in myself and the group I pay the sponsorship fees for.  Very amazing lurches 
 forward.  Nothing like AOL, TM/TMSP, that sort of pablum.   5 priest a day 
 have the same effect, IME, as 500+ Maharishi (TM) pundits, 500+ former 
 Maharishi (TM) pundits.

Are you saying that's the reason for the high price of TMO yagyas, they use 
more pundits?

   So about as much progress as one can make without turning into a cinder 
 goes for $300 a day then couple times a month, every single senior temple 
 priest in the Kancipurinam area, a couple dozen of them.  That's in the 
 thousands of $ a day.Don't try this at home.  The purification of the 
 subtle body causing changes in the gross body can be pretty gruesome.   
 Tonight is the last night of 16 days of Rahu/Ketu/Lakshmi/Mryityunjay with 5 
 priests.  Close to horrifying stuff but once again, pretty amazing sharpening 
 of experiences, intellect and massive increases in, well, Sport of Nature. 

Well of course you realize that Vedic rituals - and many of the tantric rituals 
these pundits use are long lineage rituals. Short lineage rituals that one can 
perform on their own are much more effective for an individual, esp. since they 
can be performed by the individual, alone or with other initiates (often 
hundreds).

For free.

You seem to be indicating 300 USD x 2-3: 600-900 a month. That's a lot when you 
consider the DIY factor.

 What I'd heard is that many groups had been founded, not really different

There had been a cottage industry in former Maharishi pundit groups.  Most
of them sprung up in Fairfield.  There was one group, I'll have to drag out
some emails, run by a governess in Fairfield who made you feel you were
trying to chat with the Fireside Theater.  But boy did they have a really
beautiful set of teen boys in purple, red and green silk robes.  Arrayed in
circles.  Stunning.   A complete waste of money.  Then of course a lot of
sidhas went to Dixit, a real sham artist.  You paid something like $600 to
have some pubescent boy chant 108,000 reps of the appropriate mantra then
light a bit of a fire at the end.  The bottom dollar is probably Yagyas By
Choice.   They have/?had? a sponsorship where the priests ran your chart,
came up with 9-10 transit or dasas that needed to be appeased kind of every
month during the year at $600 for something like 11 pundits for 8 days.
This group actually has its own Vedic village which the Canadian organizers
can't get within 200 kliks of because Westerners are forbidden to travel
there.  Too many missionaries trying to save souls rubbed the indigenous
peoples there the wrong way and there were murders on both sides.   They
had yagyas all the way up to $500,000 with 3-4 weeks of a couple hundred
pundits.  A pundit cost between $0.90 to $1.50/hr based on whether or not
they actually knew some of the mantras or not.   YBC claimed, like most
other wannabes that they had put back into the yajnas/
yagyas/yagnas/whatevers what Maharishi left out.



   Most amazing lurches forward in comprehension and clarity of
 consciousness in myself and the group I pay the sponsorship fees for.  Very
 amazing lurches forward.  Nothing like AOL, TM/TMSP, that sort of pablum.
 5 priest a day have the same effect, IME, as 500+ Maharishi (TM) pundits,

 Are you saying that's the reason for the high price of TMO yagyas, they

Absolutely not.   I have some tapes of Maharishi performing a homa to
Lakshmi with an intimate group of SSRS aged pundits in Vlodrup.  Maharishi
has such palsy, is blind and deaf and has to be handed items to throw into
the fire then have his hand guided to the fire then the item picked up and
thrown into the fire as he couldn't toss more than 5 feet.  And those were
taped in the 2000s.Maharishi (TM) yagyas weren't worth a damn, which is
why the $$$monied$$$ ones of VC attend their own yagnas, with the for hire
itinerant priests they retain.


   So about as much progress as one can make without turning into a cinder
 goes for $300 a day then couple times a month, every single senior temple

Fuck you and the white horse you think you ride in on.   Heard this a

ceremonies, sponsored enough 

[FairfieldLife] Octopus consciousness

[authfriend]

From a piece in Orion magazine, Deep Intellect: Inside 
the mind  of the octopus, by Sy Montgomery


On an unseasonably warm day in the middle of March, I 
traveled from New Hampshire to the moist, dim sanctuary 
of the New England Aquarium, hoping to touch an 
alternate reality. I came to meet Athena, the 
aquarium's forty-pound, five-foot-long, two-and-a-half
-year-old giant Pacific octopus.

For me, it was a momentous occasion. I have always 
loved octopuses. No sci-fi alien is so startlingly 
strange. Here is someone who, even if she grows to one 
hundred pounds and stretches more than eight feet long, 
could still squeeze her boneless body through an 
opening the size of an orange; an animal whose eight 
arms are covered with thousands of suckers that taste 
as well as feel; a mollusk with a beak like a parrot 
and venom like a snake and a tongue covered with teeth; 
a creature who can shape-shift, change color, and 
squirt ink. But most intriguing of all, recent research 
indicates that octopuses are remarkably intelligent 

Only recently have scientists accorded chimpanzees, so 
closely related to humans we can share blood 
transfusions, the dignity of having a mind. But now, 
increasingly, researchers who study octopuses are 
convinced that these boneless, alien animals--creatures 
whose ancestors diverged from the lineage that would 
lead to ours roughly 500 to 700 million years ago--have 
developed intelligence, emotions, and individual 
personalities. Their findings are challenging our 
understanding of consciousness itself

  Eastern Bulgaria is slowly recovering Wednesday after being hit in the 
  beginning of the week by a heavy, early snow storm with gusty winds.
  
  All roads in the country are passable, but the Shipka, Zlatishki, 
  Tvardishki and Vratnik mountain passes in Stara Planina are closed. Traffic 
  in the Mountain Pass of the Republic is allowed only one way at a time, 
  which has created long lines and congestion.
  
  234 villages and towns are still without power with the most serious 
  situation reported in the central Gabrovo Region.
 
 
 And it's not the first time in history. Remember the heavy snowfall

 DURING 

the first big Yogic assembly, when was it, 1980/79 ? Russian tanks on it's way 
to occupy Poland was stuck in snow. Years later even the CIA has ackowledged 
this fact.

  The immediate urgent priority for world peace is to join the Invincible 
  America Course at MUM. Only 2000 Flyers, rising to 2500, in 
  Fairfield/Maharishi Vedic City will bring security to America and defuse 
  the precarious escalation of conflict in the world.
  
   
   
Om, the 'Occupy the Domes' enthusiasts may need some volunteers to be 
arrested, just like at 'Occupy Wallstreet'.  Outside the Fairfield 
Domes meditating.  Squatters trespassing willing to be arrested 
protesting the TM-Rajas handling of the dome numbers.  Tent meditators 
outside the Domes.   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Domes 


   
   
   Turqb, could you volunteer for the high-risk arrest spots outside the 
   domes?  You don't seem to have many responsibilities in life.  You know, 
   not married, no children, no real livestock to chore, nothing to care 
   for.  Could you help us all out with this and come back?  In the end this 
   could be something you'd really feel good about yourself with.  You'd be 
   of great use.  The 'Occupy the Domes' enthusiasts could use you right now 
   outside the Domes.


 CurtisDb, would you please come back to meditation.  You could be 
 very helpful if you'd just come to meditation again.  These are 
 serious times.  Come back.  You don't even have to believe you'd do 
 any good but the science shows good you would.   It may be now or 
 never.  Like read the fricking news or read the science on global 
 climate change.  Cast down the blues and come change the course of 
 things with us spiritually.
 
 Even if the TM-Rajas won't let you back in, come meditate in the 
 parking lot as part of  Occupy the Dome in Fairfield.  We could use 
 your help with the numbers.

 You are all great beings and you must stop pretending that you are

 I found Kumare to be a surprisingly sweet and gentle, albeit extremely
controversial, documentary; which was conceived and directed by, Vikram
Gandhi, a New Jersey-born American of East Indian decent.  It was
beautifully filmed with excellent audio.  The documentary follows Gandhi
as he playfully dresses up as an Indian Guru and watches the response he
gets in India and in the U.S.  Then he decided to see if his alter ego
as an Indian Guru, could get a following.  So he went to Phoenix where
he knew no one and started his own teachings as the Indian Guru,
Kumare.  His teachings consisted of made-up chants, fake yogic
postures and a blue light meditation which he created himself.  He also
spoke in an Indian accent, dressed in robes, wore his hair long and
behaved in a way that made people think he was not familiar with western
culture.

Where  was our my ransaka viking  friend Card de Maister of
transliteration when we needed him most??!!If I had knew in advance
about the wrong spelling of 'aadarsha' I would not fall in this Sri
Kumaré  trap.Believing that the Hindi word aadarsh means ideal,
perfect,  suitable to be emulated or a principle that deserves to be
followed.OMG .
Does not a mirror faithfully reflects whatever is placed before it and
does in Sanskrit, aadarsh  came to be applied to copies of books, a
pattern or anything that could  be copied? Doesn't in the old time the
copy of a work to be called an aadarsh as it faithfully reproduced the
original, doing the work of a mirror. When this word was incorporated
into Hindi the folk etymological interpretation of it did not become
`being good enough to imitate'  further expanded to include anything
that was imitable?
Sri Kumaré has not to be imitated aadarsh-ed*? What a loss to be now
