Continuing my ongoing raps on the theme of Everything you need to know about Fairfield Life you can learn from Yahoo's Message View :-), I suggest that you don't have to reread anything. You gained the same impression that many others did, that so far Ann's presence here pretty much revolves around her perception that FFL delivers up Robin to her as a captive audience. He's never responded to anything she writes, nor even acknowledged her existence. Yet she's still on the Robin was and still is brilliant bandwagon. Call me crazy, but I think the best commentary on this so far was someone's comparison of her to Squeaky Fromme. 'Nuff said. You make up this stuff in your mind. The mind manufactures fictions. This is the enlightenment trip, to see through those fictions. You presume that folks here actually have a real interest in enlightenment. If FFL has done anything for me over the years of my participation here, it has dissuaded me of this notion. Nothing dies a faster death here than *actual* discussions of enlightenment and its many mysteries. They are derailed quickly into digs at the person who attempts to ponder those mysteries *from their POV*, attempting to denigrate that POV and the person who holds it, and ignor- ing the larger issue of enlightenment completely. Often (and the subject of this rap), such derailments seem to not even be aimed at the person they are presumably written to. In many cases, the derailer is writing to someone who has made it crystal clear that he or she wants nothing to do with the derailer, and in many cases doesn't even bother to read what they write. They have been, in as real a sense as in the romantic one, been dumped. And, just as one finds in bars full of sad men and women desperate for someone -- anyone -- who will sit there and listen to them drone on endlessly about the person who dumped them and what horrible, nasty, inexcusably inexcusable people the act of dumpage makes them. In bars, you could deal with such people the same way people do in real life -- get up and move to the other side of the bar and leave them ranting to themselves. Here, you can't. They can continue to rant, often pretending that they are *still writing directly to the person who has made it clear they aren't reading a word of it*. (Or, as in my case, only the first 10 words or so shown in Message View.) Few call them on this. WHY? Because IMO *they're* the ones reading it, and in fact *they're* the ones being written to. It's all part of a phenomenon we discussed briefly earlier, trying to form what you call associations with other people, what I call cliques. On one level, I think that people on Internet forums who continue to rant angrily at people who have dumped them (or defend and praise them just as embarrassingly) are in the same ballpark as stalkers who stand outside the apart- ments of men or women who have dumped them romantically and scream at their closed, double-paned-for-soundproofing-purposes windows. The ranting is *not* for the purpose of communication; it's a way of either venting their own line-on-stone anger at the person who has dumped them or a way of (in their minds) trying to get them back. Because the dumper is not paying any attention to the some- what deranged dumpee, and thus refusing to become a captive audience for those they've dumped, the dumpees settle for the next best thing. That is, the same thing that the drunks in the bars settle for if they can get it. Someone -- anyone -- who will listen to them rant endlessly about the horrible dumper and then hopefully either pile on to ragging about them or, at the very least, respond with an occasional Uh huh or Whatever you say, which the raging dumpee interprets as meaning You go, girl or You rock, man. Meanwhile I'm over here in another corner of the bar, wondering why others are still sitting there listening to someone drunk on attachment carrying on endlessly about it.

She was responding to a post by Robin wherein he was responding to Vaj. She said she was present at the time Vaj said he was with Robin and disputed Vaj's claim. Which, it should be pointed out, Robin shortly thereafter admitted to be true. He did, in fact, physically strike his students, although he still claimed it was a gentle push. He then switched to claiming that Vaj had never been present at any of his talks, and thus was (wait for it...you've never heard this before) a LIAR. Which has again subsequently been disproved, by someone who confirmed that not only was Vaj present, but that one of the people Robin struck said that he thought his jaw might have been broken by the force of the blow. I must have seen this post, but had no exact recollection of it. The post you mentioned, I never had read. I have read it now. Ann was responding to Susan, who was apologising, as Susan thought Ann had come onto FFL at Robin's instigation, which Ann denied, but Ann certainly seemed to come on to FFL as a result of Robin's now posting on FFL. This is what I remembered, rather imperfectly. However in this post you dug up Ann does say she had no agenda. It is also worth pointing out that, now that Vaj's credibility as someone who was actually there has been verified by someone else who was there, Ann has been in touch via email with many other people from the former hierarchy of Robin's cult whom Vaj might have known in the past, revealing how to get in touch with him. They have now been hounding him trying to get him to talk on the telephone with them. As Vaj commented to me, Thanks, Ann...not. No agenda here. Nope. Robin, by the grace of God, will you manifest the essence of the heart of Robin Woodsworth Carlsen Through the nervous system of creation, Through the nervous system, Through my nervous system Through me, Through my heart. - a sutra from the Technique for the Discovery of Grace which extends the TM-Sidhi programme I guess we now know what practicing this sutra does for a person, and for how long.

[FairfieldLife] for those who enjoy jyotish
from jyotishi Sam Geppi's newsletter, about full Moon in Aquarius which occurs approx 9 am Central Aug 31 Note that Sun is in its own sign, Leo which gives it added power. But also potential imbalances. Sam SadaShiva says: Connecting our personal power to the highest good, without regard for our own personal glory – aversions, victories, defeats, is the highest Leo lesson. The full Moon in Aquarius brings the compassion for humanity and the feeling of appreciation for others and their glory as embodiments of G-d. This realization must be present if the Leo in each of us is to fulfill its mission as the “Good King” – one whose kingdom flourishes – rather than the tyrant who can only feel powerful when robbing the peasants and invading other kingdoms. Shatabishak Nakshatra This full Moon happens in the Nakshatra of Shatabishak, which literally means “100 physicians”. This Nakshatra is where the poison of our fears and hypnotic attachments to life are transformed into the elixir of sacred medicine. This medicine takes the form of sacred teachings and healings that descend from the heavens. The deity of this Nakshatra is Varuna, who brings the celestial rains from heaven and charges the atmosphere with static electricity, that leads to the lightning strike of awareness in the next Nakshatra of Purva Bhadra.
[FairfieldLife] New TM Advanced Technique: The Golden Throne Of Ritam
[AP, Fairfield, Iowa] In a move seen by many as a tribute to one of the biggest TM heroes, Clint Eastwood, the organization that teaches Transcendental Meditation today announced a new Advanced Technique. This technique is seen as an extension to the TM-Sidhi program, which was supposed to invoke ritam by delivering to people hopping around on their butts all that they desire in life. Since, well over 35 years after the TM-Sidhi technique was introduced, it's been made abundantly clear that its practitioners have *not* gotten all that they desire in life, the TM organization is addressing that issue directly, in the form of a new form of fertilizer to invoke the mysterious power of ritam even further. The new Golden Throne Of Ritam technique aims at removing the *obstacles* to TM-Sidhi practitioners getting everything they desire. Clearly, said Bevan Morris, Spokesbutt Emeritus for the butt-bouncers, something has been *preventing* the full flow of ritam. A negative force has been getting in the way of the powerful Waves Of Woo generated by bouncing on our butts, and keeping our desires from being instantly fulfilled by ritam. Morris continued, We now know who and what this negative force is. It's a bunch of misguided souls -- many of them paid by the CIA or the Dalai Lama or both -- who consistently thwart the awesome power of ritam by saying things about us that are...uh...true, but that we don't want said. The time has now come to act, and avoid the problem before it comes. Although actual details of the new Golden Throne Of Ritam technique are a deep, dark secret, and no one is supposed to talk about them, AP has received information from a whistleblower who learned the new technique last night and posted his impressions of it on WikiLeaks. He says, It's basically a visualization technique. What you do is to imagine the person who you feel is an obstacle to you getting everything you desire, and visualize them seated upon a golden throne. Then, after forming a clear picture of the horrible enemy of all that is holy in your mind and yelling at them for a while, you mentally press the button located on the top of the golden throne, chant the holy mantra Make my day! and flush the person and his or her negativity away. I'm not sure whether all of your desires are supposed to start becoming fulfilled after you mentally flush the TM critics away or when you sign the check for the $10,000 the course costs -- all I can say is that like all TM courses that preceded it this new one didn't work as promised. Maybe you have to be senile like Clint Eastwood for it to work. Anyway, I'm doing what I should have done long ago and blowing the whistle and passing along not only this information but the visual aid given to me in my Golden Throne Of Ritam class that was supposed to help me envision the throne more accurately. http://therealestatecoconut.com/files/2011/05/gold-toilet.jpg http://therealestatecoconut.com/files/2011/05/gold-toilet.jpg

No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission That Killed Osama bin Laden puts readers alongside Owen and the other handpicked members of the 24-man team as they train for the biggest mission of their lives. The blow-by-blow narrative of the assault, beginning with the helicopter crash that could have ended Owen’s life straight through to the radio call confirming bin Laden’s death, is an essential piece of modern history. In No Easy Day, Owen also takes readers onto the field of battle in America ’s ongoing War on Terror and details the selection and training process for one of the most elite units in the military. Owen’s story draws on his youth in Alaska and describes the SEALs’ quest to challenge themselves at the highest levels of physical and mental endurance. With boots-on-the-ground detail, Owen describes numerous previously unreported missions that illustrate the life and work of a SEAL and the evolution of the team after the events of September 11. In telling the true story of the SEALs whose talents, skills, experiences, and exceptional sacrifices led to one of the greatest victories in the War on Terror, Mark Owen honors the men who risk everything for our country, and he leaves readers with a deep understanding of the warriors who keep America safe.

The ranting is *not* for the purpose of communication; it's a way of either venting their own line-on-stone anger at the person who has dumped them or a way of (in their minds) trying to get them back. Because the dumper is not paying any attention to the some- what deranged dumpee, and thus refusing to become a captive audience for those they've dumped, the dumpees settle for the next best thing.

Someone -- anyone -- who will listen to them rant endlessly about the horrible dumper and then hopefully either pile on to ragging about them or, at the very least, respond with an occasional Uh huh or Whatever you say, which the raging dumpee interprets as meaning You go, girl or You rock, man.

Doc sez: Man, you sure get a lot out of message view! Also, enjoying your self is a lot different than enjoying your Self. What I mean is you are a bright guy and a good writer. When you knock something, as you do below, all you are doing is creating a story that fits your emotions at the time; your feelings equal the story you see. So you make up a story of carefully selected experiences - the sad men and women in bars, for example - and use that as a springboard to put down people in another story you have created, according to your inner feelings. This is no big deal -- we all do it. Part of the human paradox. You presented a particularly good example, so I used it.

Continuing my ongoing raps on the theme of Everything you need to know about Fairfield Life you can learn from Yahoo's Message View :-), I suggest that you don't have to reread anything. You gained the same impression that many others did, that so far Ann's presence here pretty much revolves around her perception that FFL delivers up Robin to her as a captive audience. He's never responded to anything she writes, nor even acknowledged her existence. Yet she's still on the Robin was and still is brilliant bandwagon. Call me crazy, but I think the best commentary on this so far was someone's comparison of her to Squeaky Fromme. 'Nuff said. You make up this stuff in your mind. The mind manufactures fictions. This is the enlightenment trip, to see through those fictions. You presume that folks here actually have a real interest in enlightenment. If FFL has done anything for me over the years of my participation here, it has dissuaded me of this notion. Nothing dies a faster death here than *actual* discussions of enlightenment and its many mysteries. They are derailed quickly into digs at the person who attempts to ponder those mysteries *from their POV*, attempting to denigrate that POV and the person who holds it, and ignor- ing the larger issue of enlightenment completely.

The fomenting anti-meditation haters are nothing better than angry bush-whacking counter-revolutionaries to the larger spiritual change happening. -Buck in the Dome Just who are you referring to here Buck? Most people who have a fixation in some ideology mechanically tend to think whatever they are doing is 'the best'. Most of the people on this forum, in spite of this, are practicing some form of meditation, including me (TM). That is, the lives of the people on this forum have some kind of spiritual arc regardless how one construes them. There is an historical shift going on. More people are falling away from organised religion. The atheist group is rather strong in Europe, at about 18% and it is thought about 50% of Europe is essentially not affiliated. In the US about 16% are unaffiliated with agnostics being 2.4% and atheists 1.6% as part of that group. In the United Kingdom, about 23% are unaffiliated thought some recent studies indicate that the unaffiliated/no religion group is now surpassing Christians in number. The trend is away from people believing the universe is created/run by an intentional agent and moving in the direction of the universe having some kind of embedded essence, or not having any such creator or essence at all. To my mind, spiritual experiences ultimately have nothing to do with any particular ideology or explanation of reality, they seem to be an aspect of the human condition, and anybody can have them regardless of what in the meantime they happen to believe or think is real. All spiritual experiences need are the proper triggers to set them off, and this can be done in spiritual, religious, and secular settings. As long as people are sufficiently intelligent, and sufficiently grounded in a sense of reality that allows some variation in belief in others, it really does not matter so much and people can move along their spiritual arc. The problem is polarisation of belief, which one sees between religions and political parties. When belief is polarised one is disconnected from reality and lives entirely in the world of one's own imagination. Why do we have this desire to suppress the expression of certain kinds of information in others? Do we have some kind of inner dictator that wants to enslave the world and make it our own, responsive to our beck and call? To put this in perspective, this seems to me to be the difference between a spontaneous humbleness in the face of the awesomeness of the world, in its mystery, in its being a self-contained process, a single functioning that in its own essence it is the world and the world's control. This is opposed to ego, where in that point value of individuality, we want to control the world but from the opposite pole, so to speak, controlling the world from a single point of view. This is like the tail wagging the dog. And when one does this from that individual point, you have to know which end of the dog you are on, which is why others may find your presence something they would rather do without. In another post, Judy mentioned studying the sociology of religion, a subject I am hardly familiar with. I was wondering if in those readings she came across any sociological explanations for this behaviour wherein an individual or group wishes to suppress others expressing a counter view. Buck often talks with what I would call a religious style of speech, basically substituting 'unified field' for 'god', and from time to time makes these suggestions for limiting free speech. He wants to get rid of the TM-haters, as if he hates TM-haters, and thus is a hater himself. Thus he becomes just like those he would have removed.

MTD teaches that God exists and wants us to be nice, and that happiness is the point of life. In MTD, God, who is something like a combination Divine Butler and Cosmic Therapist, doesn't have to be involved in one's life unless one needs something. It's the perfect pseudo-religion for an individualist, consumerist, prosperous culture. You can see why a generation raised on MTD would have no interest in traditional religion, with its truth claims and strictures. If God expects nothing of you but to be nice and to be happy, why roll out of bed on Sunday morning, even for the most progressive of liturgies?

Brandon Cook, from Wilton, New Hampshire, was visiting his grandmother in the
hospital. Terribly ill with cancer, she complained to her grandson that she
desperately wanted a bowl of soup, and that the hospital's soup was inedible
(she used saltier language). If only she could get a bowl of her favorite clam
chowder from Panera Bread! Trouble was, Panera only sells clam chowder on
Friday. So Brandon called the nearby Panera and talked to store manager Suzanne
Fortier. Not only did Sue make clam chowder specially for Brandon's
grandmother, she included a box of cookies as a gift from the staff. It was a
small act of kindness that would not normally make headlines. Except ... In
this thoughtful post, the co-founder of Fast Company magazine examines what
happened next, and the powerful reminder it holds for modern-day businesses. {

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: New TM Advanced Technique: The Golden Throne Of Ritam
I don't pay much attention to the every 4 year hoo-haw that goes on in this country other than rip the candidates such as holey underwear Rom-knees. Friends like to say that Obama got elected because by 2008 most of the country hated bush so wanted to flush Republicans down the toilet. And many that voted for Obama because they believed he would trash all the fascist stuff that president Cheney put in effect (Dubya was just his hand puppet). Didn't happen. Of course we have people who couldn't run a lemonade stand believing that a corporate CEO like Rom-knees can do a better job running the country. That's going from the frying pan into the fire as far as neo-liberalism goes and one step farther into the corporate communist world of Blade Runner. That's right, the sheeple who support Rom-knees and the Republican party are supporting a form of communism coming into existence. Of course most of them are too dumb to ever even provide a definition of communism. As for Yahoo I like to use them as a sort of moderate link for news stories but I've noticed their leaning to some kind of corporatist decorum but that is not unusual for many of the news outlets. I got a item in the email this morning from LinkedIn that Yahoo's new CEO replacing the CMO while they were on vacation. I know that sends shockwaves throughout a corporation. It did when my job role was changed while I was away to a Microsoft developers seminar on DirectX. I was essentially demoted while away by my new boss and I essentially came back as said fuck you and gave notice.

If God expects nothing of you but to be nice and to be happy, why roll out of bed on Sunday morning, even for the most progressive of liturgies?

[FairfieldLife] Re: 7,600 years ago, Black Sea refugees
Yifu: By 5,000 years ago, farmers had reached Ireland, Spain, Ethiopia and India... The Rigveda itself shows an advanced and sophisticated culture, the product of a long development, a civilisation that could not have been delivered to India on horseback. It is difficult to believe that a primitive, nomadic people were capable of producing the Rig Veda and a high urban Vedic society described therein, within the amount of time alloted to them by some historians. The archaeological site called 'Dwarka' relates to the time after 1500 BC and presents a culture intermediate between the Indus Valley Civilization and later India, not an earlier submerged culture. This shows a continuous urban civilzation in India throughout historical times. The Vedic people were already building stone cities and engaged in maritime trade when they were supposed to be just entering India as primitive nomads. Recent excavations at 'Mehrgarh' show the antecedents of the Indus Valley culture go back earlier than 6000 BC and that it did not develop from an outside influence. The Rig Veda is the literary record which describes battles between kings and their organized armies and the city fortresses in which they dwelt. There is no mention in the Rig Veda about a random invasion or nomadic movements of ignorant peasants from the steppes. The Rig Veda is the product of an organized society in and around urban centers, with a large rural population. The battles described in the Rigveda were not fought between invaders and natives but between people belonging to the same culture? Go figure.

And if I may, what suggested to you that Ann perceives FFL to deliver up Robin to her as a captive audience? If this were the case, why would she have stuck around for three months *after Robin had left*? He's never responded to anything she writes, nor even acknowledged her existence. Yet she's still on the Robin was and still is brilliant bandwagon. Call me crazy, but I think the best commentary on this so far was someone's comparison of her to Squeaky Fromme. 'Nuff said. 'Nuff said indeed. This is possibly the most fucked-up remark ever from Barry. The person who made this comparison was Bhairitu, but he was *joking* (if it's possible to joke about Fromme). snip Often (and the subject of this rap), such derailments seem to not even be aimed at the person they are presumably written to. In many cases, the derailer is writing to someone who has made it crystal clear that he or she wants nothing to do with the derailer, and in many cases doesn't even bother to read what they write. They have been, in as real a sense as in the romantic one, been dumped. Another fantastic mental invention of Barry's. I think we have to conclude that the constant criticism directed at him has finally unhinged his mind. What follows is raving, pure and simple. It's completely detached from reality. And, just as one finds in bars full of sad men and women desperate for someone -- anyone -- who will sit there and listen to them drone on endlessly about the person who dumped them and what horrible, nasty, inexcusably inexcusable people the act of dumpage makes them. In bars, you could deal with such people the same way people do in real life -- get up and move to the other side of the bar and leave them ranting to themselves. Here, you can't. They can continue to rant, often pretending that they are *still writing directly to the person who has made it clear they aren't reading a word of it*. (Or, as in my case, only the first 10 words or so shown in Message View.) Few call them on this. WHY? Because IMO *they're* the ones reading it, and in fact *they're* the ones being written to. It's all part of a phenomenon we discussed briefly earlier, trying to form what you call associations with other people, what I call cliques. On one level, I think that people on Internet forums who continue to rant angrily at people who have dumped them (or defend and praise them just as embarrassingly) are in the same ballpark as stalkers who stand outside the apart- ments of men or women who have dumped them romantically and scream at their closed, double-paned-for-soundproofing-purposes windows. The ranting is *not* for the purpose of communication; it's a way of either venting their own line-on-stone anger at the person who has dumped them or a way of (in their minds) trying to get them back. Because the dumper is not paying any attention to the some- what deranged dumpee, and thus refusing to become a captive audience for those they've dumped, the dumpees settle for the next best thing. That is, the same thing that the drunks in the bars settle for if they can get it. Someone -- anyone -- who will listen to them rant endlessly about the horrible dumper and then hopefully either pile on to ragging about them or, at the very least, respond with an occasional Uh huh or Whatever you say, which the raging dumpee interprets as meaning You go, girl or You rock, man. Meanwhile I'm over here in another corner of the bar, wondering why others are still sitting there listening to someone drunk on attachment carrying on endlessly about it.

In those few moments (and these days, it only takes a few momentssee Anthony Weiner), he completely upended and redefined how he'll be remembered by younger and future generations. A few years ago, at the annual National Board of Review film awards held at Tavern on the Green in New York, I was there to hand out one of the honors.

This technique is seen as an extension to the TM-Sidhi program, which was supposed to invoke ritam by delivering to people hopping around on their butts all that they desire in life. Since, well over 35 years after the TM-Sidhi technique was introduced, it's been made abundantly clear that its practitioners have *not* gotten all that they desire in life, the TM organization is addressing that issue directly, in the form of a new form of fertilizer to invoke the mysterious power of ritam even further. The new Golden Throne Of Ritam technique aims at removing the *obstacles* to TM-Sidhi practitioners getting everything they desire. Clearly, said Bevan Morris, Spokesbutt Emeritus for the butt-bouncers, something has been *preventing* the full flow of ritam. A negative force has been getting in the way of the powerful Waves Of Woo generated by bouncing on our butts, and keeping our desires from being instantly fulfilled by ritam. Morris continued, We now know who and what this negative force is. It's a bunch of misguided souls -- many of them paid by the CIA or the Dalai Lama or both -- who consistently thwart the awesome power of ritam by saying things about us that are...uh...true, but that we don't want said. The time has now come to act, and avoid the problem before it comes. Although actual details of the new Golden Throne Of Ritam technique are a deep, dark secret, and no one is supposed to talk about them, AP has received information from a whistleblower who learned the new technique last night and posted his impressions of it on WikiLeaks. He says, It's basically a visualization technique. What you do is to imagine the person who you feel is an obstacle to you getting everything you desire, and visualize them seated upon a golden throne. Then, after forming a clear picture of the horrible enemy of all that is holy in your mind and yelling at them for a while, you mentally press the button located on the top of the golden throne, chant the holy mantra Make my day! and flush the person and his or her negativity away. I'm not sure whether all of your desires are supposed to start becoming fulfilled after you mentally flush the TM critics away or when you sign the check for the $10,000 the course costs -- all I

Robin hasn't addressed this claim. Ann described the incident in question in post #302425.

Ann made this post only a few minutes after Robin had made the post described above, not yet having read Robin's post.

Robin made his last post to FFL the next day, having encountered some incredibly offensive and vicious fallout--from Curtis in particular--from his attempt to give an honest account of how he'd conducted himself 30-some years ago, sparing himself no blame. I must have seen this post, but had no exact recollection of it. The post you mentioned, I never had read. I have read it now. Ann was responding to Susan, who was apologising, as Susan thought Ann had come onto FFL at Robin's instigation, A number of people who did not wish Robin well were indulging in that speculation. which Ann denied, but Ann certainly seemed to come on to FFL as a result of Robin's now posting on FFL. This is what I remembered, rather imperfectly. However in this post you dug up Ann does say she had no agenda. No, there's no but here, no seemed, and no however. Ann said explicitly that she had come to FFL as a result of seeing Robin's posts; and she did so on her own hook, having had no communication with Robin for over 25 years. This is all as clear as crystal from what Ann has told us. Now, Xeno, if you want to accuse Ann of lying, have the guts to do it straight out, to her face. Stop with the little hints and insinuations and attempts to muddy what Ann has said. I had other things on my mind, I had no thought that Ann was lying, it never crossed my mind. I still do not think Vaj made a case that he was with Robin at any time. I was not thinking of this exchange about Vaj's presence or absence, only that there was an obvious connexion between Ann and Robin, and *that* past history was a motivation for her to come online here.

[FairfieldLife] Super Radiance in Fairfield, Securing our 30-Year Goal
Last month we sent the wonderful news that there are 556 Pandits with passports who will be coming to Maharishi Vedic City to finally achieve our 30-year goal of securing the daily Super Radiance numbers of 2,000 in Fairfield and Maharishi Vedic City. A campaign was initiated to cover the costs to bring the Pandits here and expand the Pandit campus facilities to accommodate them.

Can't tell if you are coming or going lately? Read more to understand how the current planetary transits reflect such experiences and when this will change Is this email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser. Vedic Astrological Outlook for September 2012 www.Dgoldsteinphd.com The major theme this month continues to be the emphasis on the Mars/Saturn conjunction. As described in last months’ newsletter, Mars and Saturn came to an exact conjunction on August 14th. However, both planets continue transiting through Libra during the entire month of September, until 9/28, when Mars moves into Scorpio, its own very strong sign. Until that time, we continue to experience this “push/pull” dynamic, with one-step forward, two steps back, three steps forward, one step back in various areas of our lives. If you have been feeling overwhelmed, impatient, thwarted, blocked, frustrated or simply confused or frozen in time, for the past two months, it’s likely that you are being influenced directly by this intense Mars/Saturn transit. As Mars and Saturn separate over September, the impact of the intense conjunction will gradually soften, and the energies will level out. Understanding the Impact of Planetary Conjunctions: When two planets conjunct tightly (within one degree of each other), they become entwined, as if they are now one being or entity. Think of two people living in the same house together and being forced to share that space for a given period of time, for better or worse. When two planets have no separation by degree, it’s as if they are sharing the same bed and remain that close. If the two planets involved share a lot in common, respect each other, are friendly to each other and mutually enjoy each other’s company, then it’s wonderful. While a planetary conjunction is very intense because the energy is so concentrated, the vibratory frequency can either move in a smooth, harmonious direction at one extreme, or in a ragged, harsh tumultuous direction at the other end of a continuous spectrum. So, in the case of this current Mars/Saturn conjunction, we are observing an extreme of two bitter enemies forced to live in close quarters. They have little in common, except that they are both malefic energies. They don’t like each other’s style; philosophy, life outlook/approach and they have completely opposite methods of functioning. Imagine a Mars person and a Saturn person sharing the same bed. Mars is hot, impatient, adventurous, restless, wanting to move fast, with strong desires and high energy. Saturn is cold, withdrawn, slow, focused, serious, critical and judgmental. Mars is absolutely frustrated being held back by Saturn during this conjunction, while Saturn is irritated and annoyed by Mars’ frenetic energy pattern. Hence, this is the “push” “pull” experience many of us are rolling through these days. You don’t know if you are coming or going! Everything goes too fast and yet results are not fast enough!! This is exactly the dynamic posed by this Mars/Saturn conjunction. During August, Mars and Saturn were in bed together, as the conjunction was that close by exact degree in Libra. Now, as September progresses, Mars and Saturn are separating. They are not in the same bed, but in early September they are still sharing the bathroom and the rest of the house. As the weeks progress, Mars and Saturn move to separate rooms and get farther away from each other. Mars jumps ahead and makes plans to “move out!” Ah, there will be much better breathing room between these two planets, once we get into October. In fact, Mars moves into its own strong sign of Scorpio on 9/28, gains some strength as October arrives and gets intensified in power, by an exact conjunction with Rahu on 10/2. Moreover, Jupiter will aspect this Mars/Rahu combination, creating an extremely powerful Mars with more energy, intensity and power than can even be described by human language! Mars will be amplified in October and life will start moving very rapidly. More on this transit in the October newsletter! For now, it’s important to simply understand how the power of two planets in conjunction may be experienced energetically. If you previously understood this concept in purely academic terms, now you have the opportunity to taste, breathe and digest the real thing---here it is to observe, Mars and Saturn in conjunction! You can now understand how the Mars/Saturn aspects are often one signature for high blood pressure in a natal chart. It is this intense pressure combination that must be released.

In bars, you could deal with such people the same way people do in real life -- get up and move to the other side of the bar and leave them ranting to themselves. Here, you can't. They can continue to rant, often pretending that they are *still writing directly to the person who has made it clear they aren't reading a word of it*.

On one level, I think that people on Internet forums who continue to rant angrily at people who have dumped them (or defend and praise them just as embarrassingly) are in the same ballpark as stalkers who stand outside the apart- ments of men or women who have dumped them romantically and scream at their closed, double-paned-for-soundproofing-purposes windows. The ranting is *not* for the purpose of communication; it's a way of either venting their own line-on-stone anger at the person who has dumped them or a way of (in their minds) trying to get them back. Because the dumper is not paying any attention to the some- what deranged dumpee, and thus refusing to become a captive audience for those they've dumped, the dumpees settle for the next best thing. That is, the same thing that the drunks in the bars settle for if they can get it. Someone -- anyone -- who will listen to them rant endlessly about the horrible dumper and then hopefully either pile on to ragging about them or, at the very least, respond with an occasional Uh huh or Whatever you say, which the raging dumpee interprets as meaning You go, girl or You rock, man. Meanwhile I'm over here in another corner of the bar, wondering why others are still sitting there listening to someone drunk on attachment carrying on

But it's all as literal and as true to fact as I can possibly make it. After watching the season finale of True Blood, I wasn't tired, and felt the need to indulge my bad habits at Bad Habits. So I walked over to my neighborhood pub and sat myself down with my laptop at an outside table, taking advantage of the Last Days Of Summer here in the Netherlands. So what do I spy across the bar, as I'm starting to type the message I just Sent, about True Blood, but an attractive Dutch woman wearing thigh-high leather boots with a short leather skirt...uh...checking out the Certified Old Fart. This does not happen all that often, so I noticed. She came over and asked to sit down, and I grac- iously accepted. We had a charming conversation, and then she invited her male companion to join us. He was a nice Unix nerd, and we had a good conversation about nerd things, while she and I had a good conversation about what it was like for her to grow up Bi in the Netherlands, among men who expected her to be all Submissive. I would never have made that mistake. :-) The conversation progressed to her sitting in my lap, moving my hand purposefully to her quite admirable ass, and continuing the conversation. It was all quite interesting, on all three sides. She was fascinating -- working as a party planner for a corporate office here in Leiden, him telling me about his trip to Lhasa -- and I was grooving on it fully. Especially, punctuated as it was, by me caressing her admirable buttocks. Then she invited me to join her and her male companion in a threesome. Call me retro, but that's just not my kinda scene, so I -- as graciously as I could manage -- demurred. It's an indicator of the overall mindset of the Netherlands that neither of them took this personally, or chose to go all Dan on my ass for just not being Drawn That Way. We parted as friends, and they moved on to the next bar. I sit here still, writing this. Call me crazy, but I call this Win-Win. :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zomwyZEYZNE http://tinyurl.com/8qrzf7k

Read more to understand how the current planetary transits reflect such experiences and when this will change Is this email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser. Vedic Astrological Outlook for September 2012 www.Dgoldsteinphd.com      The major theme this month continues to be the emphasis on the Mars/Saturn conjunction. As described in last monthsâ newsletter, Mars and Saturn came to an exact conjunction on August 14th.  However, both planets continue transiting through Libra during the entire month of September, until 9/28, when Mars moves into Scorpio, its own very strong sign. Until that time, we continue to experience this âpush/pullâ dynamic, with one-step forward, two steps back, three steps forward, one step back in various areas of our lives. If you have been feeling overwhelmed, impatient, thwarted, blocked, frustrated or simply confused or frozen in time, for the past two months, itâs likely that you are being influenced directly by this intense Mars/Saturn transit. As Mars and Saturn separate over September, the impact of the intense conjunction will gradually soften, and the energies will level out.   Understanding the Impact of Planetary Conjunctions:     When two planets conjunct tightly (within one degree of each other), they become entwined, as if they are now one being or entity. Think of two people living in the same house together and being forced to share that space for a given period of time, for better or worse. When two planets have no separation by degree, itâs as if they are sharing the same bed and remain that close. If the two planets involved share a lot in common, respect each other, are friendly to each other and mutually enjoy each otherâs company, then itâs wonderful. While a planetary conjunction is very intense because the energy is so concentrated, the vibratory frequency can either move in a smooth, harmonious direction at one extreme, or in a ragged, harsh tumultuous direction at the other end of a continuous spectrum.     So, in the case of this current Mars/Saturn conjunction, we are observing an extreme of two bitter enemies forced to live in close quarters. They have little in common, except that they are both malefic energies. They donât like each otherâs style; philosophy, life outlook/approach and they have completely opposite methods of functioning.  Imagine a Mars person and a Saturn person sharing the same bed. Mars is hot, impatient, adventurous, restless, wanting to move fast, with strong desires and high energy. Saturn is cold, withdrawn, slow, focused, serious, critical and judgmental.      Mars is absolutely frustrated being held back by Saturn during this conjunction, while Saturn is irritated and annoyed by Marsâ frenetic energy pattern. Hence, this is the âpushâ âpullâ experience many of us are rolling through these days. You donât know if you are coming or going! Everything goes too fast and yet results are not fast enough!!  This is exactly the dynamic posed by this Mars/Saturn conjunction.      During August, Mars and Saturn were in bed together, as the conjunction was that close by exact degree in Libra. Now, as September progresses, Mars and Saturn are separating. They are not in the same bed, but in early September they are still sharing the bathroom and the rest of the house. As the weeks progress, Mars and Saturn move to separate rooms and get farther away from each other. Mars jumps ahead and makes plans to âmove out!â  Ah, there will be much better breathing room between these two planets, once we get into October.     In fact, Mars moves into its own strong sign of Scorpio on 9/28, gains some strength as October arrives and gets intensified in power, by an exact conjunction with Rahu on 10/2. Moreover, Jupiter will aspect this Mars/Rahu combination, creating an extremely powerful Mars with more energy, intensity and power than can even be described by human language! Mars will be amplified in October and life will start moving very rapidly. More on this transit in the October newsletter!      For now, itâs important to simply understand how the power of two planets in conjunction may be experienced energetically. If you previously understood this concept
