Transcendental Meditation 'surge protector' against flood of stress hormones, helps reduce mortality, addictions Global Good News 5 January 2013 At a conference on Stress, Meditation, Addictions, and Self-Recovery, Dr Norman Rosenthal, clinical professor of psychiatry at Georgetown University School of Medicine, explained how the practice of Transcendental Meditation (TM) helps reduce mortality. The key is stress reduction. Dr Rosenthal was previously a researcher for over 20 years at the National Institute of Mental Health, during which time he led the team that first described Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and pioneered its treatment with light therapy.

I also did residence courses (4x4) every month, and rounded 2x2 the rest of the time, so it served its purpose for me. Yes, the rounding was good.

It can hardly be god's will to destroy most of his creations to make room for something better, it's like admitting you've made a mistake! And would any dinosaurs or trilobites have ended up conscious? No, and I can say that with confidence because none of them did, in all the hundreds of millions of years they were around. Not conscious like we are anyway, obviously they were conscious of their surroundings - you know what I mean, conscious as in able to sit around discussing whether other animals are conscious and having opinions on that is what we're talking about. Anyway, it took an amazing amount of coincidences to sweep the inconveniently dominant dino's etc out of the way so some apes with their opposable thumbs could step into the sunlight. But my TM friend was having none of it, in order for us to be god's supreme creation the whole thing must have been planned and the random extinctions part of the grand design. This is the danger of religious thinking, once you've decided on the truth everything else has to be adapted or discarded until it fits. The discussion ended with me asking what would happen to his theory of divinely inspired evolution if another asteroid hit the earth tomorrow, and he said it wouldn't because of our coherence protecting us, and the more TM-ish the world becomes the stronger natures protection will be. Gawd, these cultish beliefs are odd when you look at them close. IMO meditation will protect us from meteors the same way SV homes protect us from forest fires. In our dreams.

For a start, it's happened before - a good many times and with a great deal of mass extinction. Sure, every time a big one hits there's one less big one *to* hit but just in my life there have been several instances of previously unknown asteroids crossing between the Earth and Moon.

This isn't the end of the world but a new beginning for research into potentially hazardous asteroids A computer-generated image of a near-Earth asteroid. Astronomers will get a close-up view of Apophis on Wednesday. Photograph: Planetary Resources/EPA Apophis hit the headlines in December 2004. Six months after its discovery, astronomers had accrued enough images to calculate a reasonable orbit for the 300-metre chunk of space rock. What they saw was shocking. There was a roughly 1 in 300 chance of the asteroid hitting Earth during April 2029. Nasa issued a press release spurring astronomers around the world to take more observations in order to refine the orbit. Far from dropping, however, the chances of an impact on (you've guessed it) Friday 13 April 2029 actually rose. By Christmas Day 2004, the chance of the 2029 impact was 1 in 45 and things were looking serious. Then, on 27 December astronomers had a stroke of luck. Looking back through previous images, they found one from March on which the asteroid had been captured but had gone unnoticed. This significantly improved the orbital calculation and the chances of the 2029 impact dropped to essentially zero. However, the small chance of an impact in 2036 opened up and remains open today. While there is no cause for alarm, similarly there is no room for complacency either. Apophis remains on the list of Potentially Hazardous Asteroids compiled by the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Center. Although most asteroids are found in the belt of space between Mars and Jupiter, not all of them reside there. Apophis belongs to a group known as theAten family. These do not belong to the asteroid belt and spend most of their time inside the orbit of the Earth, placing them between our planet and the sun. That makes them particularly dangerous because they spend the majority of their orbit close to the sun, whose overwhelming glare obscures them to telescopes on Earth – rather like a second world war fighter ace approaching out of the sun. Having crossed outside Earth's orbit, Apophis will appear briefly in the night-time sky. Wednesday 9 January will afford astronomers the rare opportunity to bring a battery of telescopes to bear: from optical telescopes to radio telescopes to the European Space Agency's Infrared Space Observatory Herschel. Two of the biggest unknowns that remain to be established are the asteroid's mass and the way it is spinning. Both of these affect the asteroid's orbit and without them, precise calculations cannot be made. Another unknown is the way sunlight affects the asteroid's orbit, either through heating the asteroid or the pressure of sunlight itself. Russia has announced tentative plans to land a tracking beacon on Apophis sometime after 2020, so that its orbit can be much more precisely followed from Earth. Wednesday's pass is only really close by astronomical standards, taking place at around 14.5 million

[FairfieldLife] Re: Turq's Occult Theory Of What Motivates Cyberstalkers
Barry why are you hung up on cyberstalking? I've only run into a few people online who consistently called cyberstalker and/or are/were paranoid about cyberstalking. Of those, I think only one had a real cyberstalker; the others shouting about it were simply paranoid and had delusions that they or others were being stalked. authfriend: That's Barry. Apparently Alex was the first informant to come over to FFL from Usenet, and I was the second. LoL! In fact, it was ColdBluIce that stalked all of us over here from a.m.t. and look what happened to him. Everyone knows about that trollish fanatic who has been stalking for years on alt.religion.mormon. Go figure. One of his most persistent delusions has been that I have followed him through many different electronic forums. In fact, there have been only two forums I joined after he did--alt.meditation.transcendental, where I encountered him for the first time; and FFL, to which he expressly *invited* me and other participants in alt.meditation.transcendental. All the other forums we've both been on, I was there first; he followed *me*. But when you are convinced the world revolves around you, as Barry is, you tend to see things differently from what they actually are. But, since you have apparently decided to not communicate with me, I don't expect an answer...but I'm still curious.

[FairfieldLife] Is Holding Internet Grudges A Form Of PTSD?
In studies I've read recently, researchers have found that those who score highly on a scale of neurotic behavior have a significantly higher risk of developing PTSD if exposed to a traumatic event. In the study, neuroticism was defined as a type of personality behavior in which people experience high degrees of anxiety in response to everyday events, and thus tend to overreact to those ordinary events. The hypothesis was that this tendency to overreact to the ordinary might put them at risk of developing PTSD if they were exposed to an extraordinary traumatic event. Well, the data backed that hypothesis up -- the neurotics *were* more likely to develop PTSD. PTSD is a disorder in which people are trapped in an endless loop of dwelling on and flashing back to the past. Some event triggered an initial reaction to the event, but this reaction fails to fade. It may, in fact, become stronger as time passes, and become very much an overreaction, leading to panic attacks, nightmares, sleep disorders, and resulting in the PTSD sufferers becoming easily startled and prone to emotional outbursts. They dwell on the past, can't get over it, and often attempt to get others to dwell on the same past, to as it were share the misery. Now extrapolate these findings to the Internet, and behavior we see there. Most people are non-neurotic in their everyday Net behavior. Sure, they might get pissed off about something someone says and go FLAME ON for a few posts, but then the next day it's forgotten, and both the flamer and the flamee are having civilized conversations again. Others hang on to perceived affronts longer. In other words, they start to display neurotic behavior, taking an ordinary event and turning it into a Big Fucking Deal, one that they just can't get over. So they may stay in FLAME ON mode for longer than the non-neurotic Net denizens -- a week, or occasionally a couple of weeks. Then there are the ones who hold onto perceived affronts for years. They turn them into vendettas, pursuing the supposed perpetrator of the original affront in thread after thread, even the ones that have nothing to do with whatever was originally considered an affront. They actively attempt to persuade others to dwell on this past affront the way they do, often citing posts *from* the past and encouraging others to read them, so that they can become as affronted by and unable to get over something that happened in the past as the grudgeholder is. Whatever precipitated the original affront, the grudgeholders continue to overreact to any mention of it, or any contact with the supposed perpetrator of the affront as if it happened minutes ago, not years ago. At times it feels -- vibe-wise -- as if they're having actual *flashbacks* of the original event, reliving the emotions it provoked for them in the past all over again. This last behavior strikes me as the Net counterpart of PTSD. That's my theory, anyway. Cyberstalking and holding long-term grudges on the Internet is a form of PTSD. On a spiritual level it's also classic samskaric behavior -- allowing yourself to be ruled by past impressions you can't get over. Maybe if those studies that indicate that TM is helpful in the treatment of PTSD are correct, these long-term Netgrudgeholders could benefit from learning it. Oh. Wait. Many of them already practice TM, and have for several decades. Never mind.

Not one person here can possibly be taking you seriously about this matter of Judy 'cyberstalking' you - for lots of reasons. The term cyberstalking coming from you is like the words psychological rape coming from Share. These, while you both might think are accurate descriptions of what happen/happened to you, are overly dramatic, almost laughable characterizations. You are using this term 'cyberstalking' to gain attention and create a kind of camraderie of sympathy for yourself; this alone is rather pathetic for a grown man who likes to portray himself as not giving a shit about virtually anything in this life. Cyberstalking implies you are in some sort of danger, that you are a victim of horribly unwarranted attention and harassment. It implies you have done nothing to deserve or warrant this terrible crime against yourself; that you are helpless, that you, in no way, have brought any of this upon yourself. Give me, and the rest of us, a fucking break. No one is losing a moment of sleep worrying about poor harassed, stalked and victimized Barry Wright so why don't you drop it and find where you left your man panties and pull them back on. Move along, no one's buying it. But Carol is a bit creepy too, she turns up here simply to rubbish someone who isn't around to defend themselves to a bunch of people with - what? a presumed shared dislike of TM? Is that what this is about, TM gets criticised here and J Knapp does some criticising too so therefore there must be something deficient with TM critics? Or does she assume we are all good mates and is trying to drive a presumed wedge between anyone who might have TM-free sympathies? Whatever it is, it doesn't come across as a public service announcement, more like some revenge fantasy. The only thing that's obvious is that she needs more therapy to work out why she behaves in this peculiar way. I fear that getting Judy on her side will only entrench it, you don't find healthy closure from someone who has to work out what time her enemies get out of bed in the morning when they live on the other side of the atlantic.

Wednesday 9 January will afford astronomers the rare opportunity to bring a battery of telescopes to bear: from optical telescopes to radio telescopes to the European Space Agency's Infrared Space Observatory Herschel. Two of the biggest unknowns that remain to be established are the asteroid's mass and the way it is spinning. Both of these affect the asteroid's orbit and without them, precise calculations cannot be made. Another unknown is the way sunlight affects the asteroid's orbit, either through heating the asteroid or the pressure of sunlight
[FairfieldLife] The most intelligent SciFi film I've ever seen...
...cost $7,000 to make. It was written, directed, and produced by a guy named Shane Carruth, who also starred in the film. The other actors were his friends and relatives. He managed to get the film entered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2004, and it won the Grand Jury Prize. The film is called Primer, and it's not easy-viewing. You've got to really, really pay attention for it to make sense. But it does, making it possibly the first time travel movie ever made that does. It developed such a cult following that director Rian Johnson cited it as one of his primary inspirations for Looper, and actually hired Shane Carruth to act as a consultant to help him get the time travel thang right. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0390384/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primer_%28film%29

You are a rich source of amusement to me, Barry. I recall your genuinely happy and vulnerable smile you sent us after Christmas. It is quite obvious to me that you are a cream-puff, a very vulnerable man, emotionally. However you insist on filling your cream-puff heart, not with sweet cream, but crap. So, as long as you want to play it this way, Barry, you will attract A LOT of unwanted attention, though IMO, you secretly revel in it.

The term cyberstalking coming from you is like the words psychological rape coming from Share. These, while you both might think are accurate descriptions of what happen/happened to you, are overly dramatic, almost laughable characterizations. You are using this term 'cyberstalking' to gain attention and create a kind of camraderie of sympathy for yourself; this alone is rather pathetic for a grown man who likes to portray himself as not giving a shit about virtually anything in this life. Cyberstalking implies you are in some sort of danger, that you are a victim of horribly unwarranted attention and harassment. It implies you have done nothing to deserve or warrant this terrible crime against yourself; that you are helpless, that you, in no way, have brought any of this upon yourself. Give me, and the rest of us, a fucking break. No one is losing a moment of sleep worrying about poor harassed, stalked and victimized Barry Wright so why don't you drop it and find where you left your man panties and pull them back on.

Oh, poor salyavin. Well before you joined us, Barry used to do that to me all the time when I posted later than usual, making a big deal it as though it proved some point--more often than I ever did it to him. He did the same thing to others. After I'd done it to him a few times, he pretty much stopped. Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire. Now aren't you embarrassed? Dead creepy behaviour, kind of worrying you don't have the self-awareness to realise it. Maybe Carol shouldn't take your analyses at face value? Yeah, right. You tell her, dude. Notice that Barry immediately piled on (something he screams bloody murder about when others do it to him or his pals) to agree with you. He doesn't seem to have mentioned anything about how commenting on posting times used to be one of the ways he'd attack me and others until I cured him of that habit.

Or does she assume we are all good mates and is trying to drive a presumed wedge between anyone who might have TM-free sympathies? Wow. What a vivid imagination you have. Knapp used to post here on occasion touting his counseling services, trying to drum up business. Carol holds no brief for TM, as you'd know if you had been paying attention. She assumed, entirely reasonably, that we all should know about what had happened with him, sort of like a parents' group would want to know that a local priest had gotten in trouble as a child predator. Again, if you'd been keeping up instead of swallowing Barry's rancid bile as if it were the finest whiskey, you'd have realized that. He doesn't know any more than you do about the Knapp situation. Nor have you ever objected to the many other folks here who have no compunctions about badmouthing people who aren't around to defend themselves. So you're a hypocrite too, just like Barry.

The only thing that's obvious is that she needs more therapy to work out why she behaves in this peculiar way. Or perhaps you need more therapy to figure out why you jump in making accusations concerning things of which you have no knowledge. You might want to suggest that to Barry as well. I fear that getting Judy on her side will only entrench it, you don't find healthy closure from someone who has to work out what time her enemies get out of bed in the morning when they live on the other side of the atlantic.

Unlike your impression on Carol's post Sal, I don't think she was being sarcastic. Read it again. She just doesn't want to take your unfriendly comments lying down and is merely stating it like she thinks it is. Sal, you do come on pretty strong sometimes and I can't figure out why it happens when it does. Whatever transgressions or ways in which various people (myself included) piss you off you come on like a house on fire. Certainly you realize a natural initial reaction by someone who feels another poster is attacking them is to stand up straighter and bring up their shield, if not their sword.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Is Holding Internet Grudges A Form Of PTSD?
Other side of the wall, AGAIN, Barry. Geez, you are one imprisoned soul. Turn around 180 degrees, as I suggested earlier, watch yet another movie, or TV show, or drink some psychoactive coffee (did you know coffee is the most widely used psychoactive substance on earth?), or have a beer, or visit a hooker. Anything to prevent you from facing the world which upsets you continuously. It is one thing to complain and insult and whine, but the real difference between you and most others who find something to whine about, is the others Get-Over-It. You seem to be so lost in complaining, insulting and whining, that you would rather do that, than getting off that soft, lily-white ass of yours, and doing something about it. Note: Doing something about it means not spending all day pouring over statistics in the FFL archives to yet make a larger complaint. Try facing the REAL world, Barry, where the rest of us live. PS You'll know the difference because life experiences don't begin with a title, and end with rolling credits. You'll figure it out after awhile. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb wrote: In studies I've read recently, researchers have found that those who score highly on a scale of neurotic behavior have a significantly higher risk of developing PTSD if exposed to a traumatic event. In the study, neuroticism was defined as a type of personality behavior in which people experience high degrees of anxiety in response to everyday events, and thus tend to overreact to those ordinary events. The hypothesis was that this tendency to overreact to the ordinary might put them at risk of developing PTSD if they were exposed to an extraordinary traumatic event. Well, the data backed that hypothesis up -- the neurotics *were* more likely to develop PTSD. PTSD is a disorder in which people are trapped in an endless loop of dwelling on and flashing back to the past. Some event triggered an initial reaction to the event, but this reaction fails to fade. It may, in fact, become stronger as time passes, and become very much an overreaction, leading to panic attacks, nightmares, sleep disorders, and resulting in the PTSD sufferers becoming easily startled and prone to emotional outbursts. They dwell on the past, can't get over it, and often attempt to get others to dwell on the same past, to as it were share the misery. Now extrapolate these findings to the Internet, and behavior we see there. Most people are non-neurotic in their everyday Net behavior. Sure, they might get pissed off about something someone says and go FLAME ON for a few posts, but then the next day it's forgotten, and both the flamer and the flamee are having civilized conversations again. Others hang on to perceived affronts longer. In other words, they start to display neurotic behavior, taking an ordinary event and turning it into a Big Fucking Deal, one that they just can't get over. So they may stay in FLAME ON mode for longer than the non-neurotic Net denizens -- a week, or occasionally a couple of weeks. Then there are the ones who hold onto perceived affronts for years. They turn them into vendettas, pursuing the supposed perpetrator of the original affront in thread after thread, even the ones that have nothing to do with whatever was originally considered an affront. They actively attempt to persuade others to dwell on this past affront the way they do, often citing posts *from* the past and encouraging others to read them, so that they can become as affronted by and unable to get over something that happened in the past as the grudgeholder is. Whatever precipitated the original affront, the grudgeholders continue to overreact to any mention of it, or any contact with the supposed perpetrator of the affront as if it happened minutes ago, not years ago. At times it feels -- vibe-wise -- as if they're having actual *flashbacks* of the original event, reliving the emotions it provoked for them in the past all over again. This last behavior strikes me as the Net counterpart of PTSD. That's my theory, anyway. Cyberstalking and holding long-term grudges on the Internet is a form of PTSD. On a spiritual level it's also classic samskaric behavior -- allowing yourself to be ruled by past impressions you can't get over. Maybe if those studies that indicate that TM is helpful in the treatment of PTSD are correct, these long-term Netgrudgeholders could benefit from learning it. Oh. Wait. Many of them already practice TM, and have for several decades. Never mind.

Of those posts, the number that contain either Barry or Turq or TurquoiseB, meaning that she was either talking about me or replying to something I posted or replying to something that someone else posted about me was 7,626 posts. That means that she's spent 33.74% of her entire history of posts on FFL obsessing about me. Except for one thing (which Barry's well aware of, because I've pointed it out many times when he's tried to pull this same stunt): Archive counts of how many posts a person has made that contain a particular term include not only the post in which the term was used, but all subsequent posts in the thread that quoted the original post. I may have made one post that contained one of those terms that generated many others quoting me; or I might have replied to a thread in which someone else had mentioned Barry without myself mentioning him--the thread might have drifted far from the original topic. Yet all those posts would be included in my archive count for that term. (BTW, I never use the appellation Turq, as Barry knows, so none of the posts containing that term were mine unless I had been quoting someone else who used it.) Bottom line, you'd have to look at all the posts in Barry's archive count individually to know in how many of them I had actually said anything about him. Note that Barry avoids using my name as much as possible in his posts attacking me, so that if you did the same archive count on posts of his containing Judy, it would be substantially lower--but that wouldn't reflect the reality of the comparative number of our posts directed at each other. And he almost never replies directly to a post of mine, so his count of posts containing authfriend would be low as well. Finally, of course, many if not most of the posts I made containing Barry or turquoiseb were made in response to attacks of his on me. Again, *Barry knows all this*. He's hoping to dupe those who haven't thought through what archive counts involve. Oh, and everyone who's been around here for awhile knows that he's always been obsessed by my post counts, whether they contain anything about him or not. I don't do anything like that. I don't have to. When I criticize him or anybody else, I have legitimate reasons for doing so. Nope...certainly no evidence of stalking there, eh? :-) No. The whole term stalking is a misnomer unless you use a much broader definition than the standard one, in which case it not only doesn't mean much but applies just as much to Barry as it does to me--more, since one of the standard characteristics of genuine stalking is searching the Web for information to use against the victim, which Barry has done many times here, not just with regard to me. I've never done that.

[FairfieldLife] Leadership and the Dome Numbers
Describing Bevan Morris and John Hagelin to outsiders, 2012 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/331021 Matthew 18:20 - For where two or three are gathered together in the Unified Field, there is the Meissner Effect in the midst of them. It is going to be close. Even if these new pundits show up in force in re-enforcement we still need a few more good meditators from the community to come to the Domes to have steady numbers over 2,000 meditating morning and evening, let alone 2,500 for safety. We're going to need a few more willing meditators, 150 or 200, from the community to come back to the Domes and fill the breech. May the Unified Field have mercy on us. Yep, Gone over the Dome Numbers Cliff with Bevan Like the 'fiscal cliff', The Dome Numbers Cliff. Frankly, Bevan and his particular people around him went over the Dome numbers cliff years ago fully committed to the plunge. It is an edifying read for perspective to look at the first two hundred posts to Fairfieldlife and see the roots of the problem actually go back with Bevan even to the 1980's. There were quite reasonable suggestions made all along to stem the flow of people out of the Domes. Now, we are really swimming upstream needing to portage around the big problem for all the damage that has been done to the feelings of the meditating community. It's getting towards a 'do or die' time. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, seekliberation wrote: The Transcendental Meditation technique is a simple, natural, effortless process practiced 1520 minutes twice daily while sitting comfortably with eyes closed. seekliberation --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, seekliberation wrote: Maharishi University of Management was founded in 1971 by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi to fulfill the highest ideals of education. seekliberation --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Buck wrote: Over 600 scientific research studies conducted during the past 35 years at more than 250 independent universities and research institutes in thirty-three countries have shown that the practice of transcending benefits all areas of individual lifemind, body, behavior, and society. )..this research is compelling evidence that even a small group of practitioners of the Transcending Meditation programas few as 1% of a populationcreate a positive influence on society reducing crime, accidents and other negative trends. This overall increase of positivity in societal trends arises from the increasing purity in collective consciousness of the entire population created by hundreds of individuals experiencing the pure silence and peace of Transcendental Consciousness. This phenomenon, first discovered by scientists in 1974, was named the Maharishi Effect in honor of Maharishi who had predicted it more than a decade earlier. The discovery of the Maharishi Effect by modern science established a new formula for the creation of an ideal peaceful society, free from crime and problems. The immediate urgent priority for world peace is to join the Invincible America Assembly at MUM. Only 2000 meditators in Fairfield will bring security to America and defuse the precarious escalation of conflict in the world. Like the 'fiscal cliff' we evidently are approaching The Numbers Cliff in the Domes. This was suggested almost 12 years ago [2001] and could certainly work today [2013]: Dear Fairfield Sidhas and Governors, First, we would like to publicly apologize for ever having excluded from the domes anyone who wanted to practice Maharishi's program there. We would like to welcome everyone back on the condition that if you are in the dome, you promise to practice what you have learned from Maharishi no more, no less. In turn, we promise to never again judge or exclude anyone for what they may choose to do with their private life. We possess neither the wisdom nor the right to do this. Let us all come together again in a spirit of love and acceptance, and begin once more to radiate the harmony and coherence for which the domes were built.

Hey Saly, Like I said, you don't know me and obviously no little or nothing about the situation. I stated my reasons why I posted here. You are welcome to look them up for yourself. I don't hold a grudge. If you would read what I've stated in my previous responses to Barry's allegations (including his grudge one), you could see that. Not that you would believe what I've written. It appears to me you are projecting onto me a state of mind that perhaps you live in or have experienced (not a dis, I think us humans all do that to a point) and into a situation that you know nothing about.

Oh...wowthey mention me, me, me! Don't you feel special Barry - skewed statistic that it is. I've noticed that you start every day here with a slam on someone, most times on women and the women here. With almost daily regularity. I don't mind anymore, as I feel the women here are doing a service to those you live with and the little girl you are helping to raise. Better to take it out on us, than on them. Then, when you've gotten your anger out, you move on to movie reviews and other more or less interesting things. Very predictable.

[FairfieldLife] FFL, and the ever dwindling support for T Bee on here
Barry had apparently convinced a whole slew of people of his enlightened state when he first joined here. For awhile, posters including me, were confused by the ongoing Barry/Judy feud. At that time, Barry would rally his gang against her, with occasional success. Fast forward to now: Barry has no friends or allies on here any longer. The harder he has tried over the years to convince us all of his non-attachment, wise views of the world, and support for that fruitcake Rama Lenz, all have backfired *spectacularly* on him. He is now seen for what he is - a whiner, marginally employed after being dumped by his former employer, accomplishing nothing spiritually, and living a lonely, crabby life as a critic, of pretty much everything. He still tries to show us all that the opposition and criticism directed at him, is as a result of his unimpeachable spiritual integrity, and status, just slightly above the rest of us. It ain't working. Now, people either give him a dose of reality, or ignore him altogether. What a success, eh, Barry??

For awhile, posters including me, were confused by the ongoing Barry/Judy feud. At that time, Barry would rally his gang against her, with occasional success. Barry had touted FFL on alt.meditation.transcendental, where he and I had both been posting since 1995 or so. He'd been here for a couple of weeks and invited us all to come see what was going on. I took him up on it, along with several others from alt.m.t. Initially, I had intended only to lurk for awhile, pick up some movement news (there wasn't much of that on alt.m.t). Then I found, to my surprise, that Barry had been badmouthing me well before I arrived, before he'd even posted his invitation to alt.m.t. There had been a bit of a discussion about me; some of the FFLers had previously been on alt.m.t and knew who I was. I had my fans and my detractors in that discussion (more of the former than the latter, in fact, which was gratifying). Here was Barry's contribution (preceded by the post he was commenting on): - --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Peter Sutphen wrote: Man, I love that girl! She has spunk! I want to have tantric sex with her. If you're speaking of Judy, you're a brave man, and far more Tantric than I. She's 63, and as I hear it, her last sexual partner committed suicide by taking its own batteries out and hurling itself off the nightstand. :-) - Vibrator fantasies about me had been a staple of Barry's alt.m.t posts. He proceeded to proudly quote this one back on alt.m.t. I didn't comment on it on FFL at the time. How I was gradually drawn in to posting regularly is complicated and boring, but the start of it had to do with a few lies Vaj (who had been here for awhile) and Barry told about me and alt.m.t. Anyone who wants to check it out, search for the thread 17 New Members that began on May 17, 2005. As I became a regular, I tried to avoid clashing with Barry and just participate in other discussions, but that's difficult when someone has it in for you and repeatedly misrepresents you to a bunch of people most of whom don't know you.

For a start, it's happened before - a good many times and with a great deal of mass extinction. Sure, every time a big one hits there's one less big one *to* hit but just in my life there have been several instances of previously unknown asteroids crossing between the Earth and Moon. In 1989 one that, had it been travelling one millionth of a mile an hour slower, would have hit in the middle of the atlantic and set off every volcano and earthquake faultline on earth, not to mention swamping Europe, Africa and the America's with the resulting tsunami. Hardly a rare occurrence then but something to loose sleep over? Not for me but just think, there were three in the last century that struck land, one in Siberia, one in Arabia and one in south America. No known casualties but there was massive destruction in each case. Millions of felled trees in Tunguska, a desert melted into glass in Arabia. I often wonder what would have happened at the height of the cold war if, say, New York or Moscow had been suddenly vapourised by an incoming comet. Would the powers that be been able to stop themselves retaliating against the mistaken foe? Most of these things are unknown before they flash by close enough to part our hair, cosmically speaking, without us being aware of their existence - except this one. Anyway, it's all just something to help keep life in perspective Apophis – a 'potentially hazardous' asteroid – flies by Earth on Wednesday Asteroid Apophis arrives this week for a close pass of Earth. This isn't the end of the world but a new beginning for research into potentially hazardous asteroids [A computer generated image of a near Earth asteroid] A computer-generated image of a near-Earth asteroid. Astronomers will get a close-up view of Apophis on Wednesday. Photograph: Planetary Resources/EPA Apophis hit the headlines in December 2004. Six months after its discovery, astronomers had accrued enough images to calculate a reasonable orbit for the 300-metre chunk of space http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/space rock. What they saw was shocking. There was a roughly 1 in 300 chance of the asteroid hitting Earth during April 2029. Nasa issued a press release http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news146.html spurring astronomers around the world to take more observations in order to refine the orbit. Far from dropping, however, the chances of an impact on (you've guessed it) Friday 13 April 2029 actually rose. By Christmas Day 2004, the chance of the 2029 impact was 1 in 45 and things were looking serious. Then, on 27 December astronomers had a stroke of luck. Looking back through previous images, they found one from March on which the asteroid had been captured but had gone unnoticed. This significantly improved the orbital calculation and the chances of the 2029 impact dropped to essentially zero. However, the small chance of an impact in 2036 opened up and remains open today http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2005/dec/07/spaceexploration.research\ . While there is no cause for alarm, similarly there is no room for complacency either. Apophis remains on the list of Potentially Hazardous Asteroids compiled by the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Center. Although most asteroids are found in the belt of space between Mars and Jupiter, not all of them reside there. Apophis belongs to a group known as theAten family http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aten_asteroid . These do not belong to the asteroid belt and spend most of their time inside the orbit of the Earth, placing them between our planet and the sun. That makes them particularly dangerous because they spend the majority of their orbit close to the sun, whose overwhelming glare obscures them to telescopes on Earth – rather like a second world war fighter ace approaching out of the sun. Having crossed outside Earth's orbit, Apophis will appear briefly in the night-time sky. Wednesday 9 January will afford astronomers the rare opportunity to bring a battery of telescopes to bear: from optical telescopes to radio telescopes to the European Space Agency's Infrared Space Observatory Herschel. Two of the biggest unknowns that remain to be established are the asteroid's mass and the way it is spinning. Both of these affect the asteroid's orbit and without them, precise calculations cannot be made. Another unknown is the way sunlight affects the asteroid's orbit, either through heating the asteroid or the pressure of sunlight itself http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0019103510003179 . Russia has announced tentative plans to land a tracking beacon on Apophis sometime after 2020 http://rt.com/news/apophis-radio-beacon-mission-908/ , so that its orbit can be much more
[FairfieldLife] Another time travel film -- Safety Not Guaranteed
Because I was on a time travel kick after watching Primer, I decided to watch another movie about it, Safety Not Guaranteed. It turned out to be the polar opposite, but more enjoyable. Primer was deadly serious and intellectual, and pulled it off because the intellect was really there. Safety Not Guaranteed was far from serious, and for much of the film you take it as a comedy. What it is is a film about life, and life's quirky characters, and how wonderful quirky can be. The basic plot is that some folks in need of a vacation at Seattle Times magazine discover an ad that reads: Wanted: Somebody to go back in time with me. This is not a joke. P.O. Box 91 Ocean View, WA 99393. You'll get paid after we get back. Must bring your own weapons. Safety not guaranteed. I have only done this once before. They talk their editor into sending them off to interview the guy, them being a guy who wants to go to this town to visit an old girlfriend, a virginal Indian intern along for the adventure, and a young female intern who considers herself a loser, in search of something, anything that will make her life seem more interesting. The actors are wonderful, especially Mark Duplass (from The League and Zero Dark Thirty) as the guy advertising the adventure, Aubrey Plaza (from Parks And Recreation) as the young female intern, and Jake Johnson (from New Girl) as the editor guy hoping to hook up with his old girlfriend while his magazine pays for the vacation. And the result is utterly charming, with time travel becoming the least of the issues. I'm not alone in my appreciation for this film. Roger Ebert gave it 3-1/2 stars (out of four), and loved it. And with good reason, in my opinion.

Is that what this is about, TM gets criticised here and J Knapp does some criticising too so therefore there must be something deficient with TM critics? Or does she assume we are all good mates and is trying to drive a presumed wedge between anyone who might have TM-free sympathies? Whatever it is, it doesn't come across as a public service announcement, more like some revenge fantasy. The only thing that's obvious is that she needs more therapy to work out why she behaves in this peculiar way.

salyavin808, You are in error about a few things. Most incoming objects are NOT radioactive and hitting the Earth does not make them radioactive. Nor would the pieces of an object that was blown to smithereens be especially radioactive given the size of the typical object, e.g. Mt. Everest sized-ish. Remember that even an earthly hurricane packs the wallop of TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND nukes. Blowing up a hurricane is impossible, see? Same deal with other objects as large as that. Almost all the extinction level objects that might hit us are known because they're very large and can be seen from great distances. True, there could be rogues that come from an odd angle instead of along the solar plane's disk, but they too are being watched for, but yes, not all directions are equally watched. And blowing up these objects is in almost every scenario now considered foolish, because, 1. We can't blow up much even with the biggest bombs we ever made. 2. If we did blow them up, all the pieces could do even more damage as they hit Earth.think Gatling Gun instead of cannonball. 3. A nuke's wave-front impact on an object would hardly be but a faint nudge. 4. They now know that, given an advanced warning, they can send out a rather small satellite that will hover nearby the incoming object, and even the slight gravitational attraction between them can EASILY change the orbit of the object away from hitting Earth.just need a few months or a year or so if the thing is really big.

If you bothered to read before throwing out your analysis, maybe you could state some criticism that is factual and holds some weight. I'm not out to get anyone on my side. Regardless, as I stated to Barry, your impression is noted. As far as Knapp not being around to defend himself, he can come here and defend himself if he so desires; it's a public board. All that said, the Knapp discussion is pretty much dead at this point...except that you bring it up here. Combining yours and Barry's labels toward me, I am a creepy loon.

Is that what this is about, TM gets criticised here and J Knapp does some criticising too so therefore there must be something deficient with TM critics? Or does she assume we are all good mates and is trying to drive a presumed wedge between anyone who might have TM-free sympathies? Whatever it is, it doesn't come across as a public service announcement, more like some revenge fantasy. The only thing that's obvious is that she needs more therapy to work out why she behaves in this peculiar way. I fear that getting Judy on her side will only entrench it, you don't find healthy closure from someone who has to work out what time her enemies get out of bed in the morning when they live on the other side of the atlantic.

In her 7.7 years on Fairfield Life, Judy has made around 22,600 posts, an average of over eight posts a day. Of those posts, the number that contain either Barry OR Turq OR TurquoiseB, meaning that she was either talking about me or replying to something I posted or replying to something that someone else posted about me was 7,626 posts. That means that she's spent 33.74% of her entire history of posts on FFL obsessing about me. Nope...certainly no evidence of stalking there, eh? :-) Speaking of Fun With Statistics :-), here are some about a few of Judy's trainees in her ongoing course, called How To Become An Obsessed Cyberstalker. So far, Jim (doctordumbass) is winning, but Ann is a close second. The first number is the total number of posts they've made to FFL, at least under their current ID.

The third number is the percentage of their overall posts that seem a tad...uh...obsessed (or at the very least overfocused) on Barry, just as their trainer intended them to be: Jim -- 330 posts / 181 mention me -- 54.8% Ann -- 1172 posts / 586 mention me -- 50% Ravi -- 2276 posts / 907 mention me -- 39.8% Emily -- 1805 posts / 683 mention me -- 37.8% Raunchy -- 3847 posts / 909 mention me -- 23.6%

Hey, I was just quoting what was in wikipedia for misanthrope. A word you used for Barry...do you think he has a general hatred of mankind? Yes, we're all in this together, but that's not what misanthrope or misanthropy means. The Misanthrope, or the Cantankerous Lover (French: Le Misanthrope ou l'Atrabilaire amoureux; French pronunciation: [lə misantʁop u latʁabilɛʁ amuʁø])) is a 17th-century comedy of manners in verse written by Molière. It was first performed on 4 June 1666 at theThéâtre du Palais-Royal, Paris by the King's Players.[1] The play satirizes the hypocrisies of French aristocratic society, but it also engages a more serious tone when pointing out the flaws which all humans possess. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Misanthrope I kind of liked the line as I hear it spoken as from an actor on stagerefusing them the active vigorous scorn that which vice should stimulate in virtuous minds From: doctordumb...@rocketmail.com doctordumb...@rocketmail.com To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, January 7, 2013 2:14 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: FFL, and the ever dwindling support for T Bee on here hatred by virtue of self-righteousness - That's different! :-) I can see those conclusions about others resulting in a sort of ennui, but hatred?

Fast forward to now: Barry has no friends or allies on here any longer. The harder he has tried over the years to convince us all of his non-attachment, wise views of the world, and support for that fruitcake Rama Lenz, all have backfired *spectacularly* on him. He is now seen for what he is - a whiner, marginally employed after being dumped by his former employer, accomplishing nothing spiritually, and living a lonely, crabby life as a critic, of pretty much everything. He still tries to show us all that the opposition and criticism directed at him, is as a result of his unimpeachable spiritual integrity, and status, just slightly above the rest of us. It ain't working. Now, people either give him a dose of reality, or ignore him altogether. What a success, eh, Barry??
[FairfieldLife] Re: vibes such ~ buildings, energy, life
Look...I changed the name of the thread. Hope it doesn't disappoint Barry. Your talk of buildings and such brings to mind vibes, of course. It brings to mind energy signatures, or something like that...that I've read about in one of Donna Eden's books. Which brought to mind HeartMath of which folks here may already be familiar. In (at least some) of HeartMath's past studies, gratitude showed to be the most powerful heart tool (I think that is HeartMath's term) to help bring the mind and body into better sync. Here's a link about some of HMs research: http://www.heartmath.org/research/science-of-the-heart/introduction.html I was out hiking today, and again thought of blood soil. I've often thought of that through the years...what has walked where I put my feet? Who has walked? What blood has been shed where I trod? I feel the ground lives with these memories of peoples and animals from the past. Similar to the buildings whereof ya'll speak. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Susan wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, doctordumbass@ wrote: There could be many explanations for what a person experiences when entering a building that have nothing to do with metaphysics or religion.

There is also just plain mood making. The placebo effect tends not to work well with me. I can't tell the difference between different kinds of buildings except whether they are lighter or darker, warmer or colder, or have fumes from the furnishings or activities there, the activity of the people therein. And whether they seem generally safe structurally. Purely by virtue of the beings inhabiting a building, now or previously, gives the space a particular feel. I have noticed this in older buildings, in particular. Not quite the same as the peaceful radiance in a TM facility, obviously, though definitely there. I like buildings that are many many years old and have been left as is. So many interesting things to pick up on - like the ruins of the single prisoner cells on Devil's Island(s) I saw at 19, rusting manacles still embedded in the crumbling brick, and as hot as hell. I have three times become sick to my stomach when in certain rooms in old buildings - a feeling of panic and nausea and I have to leave. The reasons I seem to think of have to do with old energies there that are not good for me. On the other hand, I too love old buildings, and live in a 100 year old house that I love.

Whenever you enter one of our buildings, owned or rented, it always has a particular silence and a cozy feeling of safety about it, as if the walls were 3 meters thick and not 40 cm and you really don't wan't to leave the place.

In (at least some) of HeartMath's past studies, gratitude showed to be the most powerful heart tool (I think that is HeartMath's term) to help bring the mind and body into better sync. Here's a link about some of HMs research: http://www.heartmath.org/research/science-of-the-heart/introduction.html I was out hiking today, and again thought of blood soil. I've often thought of that through the years...what has walked where I put my feet? Who has walked? What blood has been shed where I trod?

There is also just plain mood making. The placebo effect tends not to work well with me. I can't tell the difference between different kinds of buildings except whether they are lighter or darker, warmer or colder, or have fumes from the furnishings or activities there, the activity of the people therein. And whether they seem generally safe structurally. Purely by virtue of the beings inhabiting a building, now or previously, gives the space a particular feel. I have noticed this in older buildings, in particular. Not quite the same as the peaceful radiance in a TM facility, obviously, though definitely there. I like buildings that are many many years old and have been left as is. So many interesting things to pick up on - like the ruins of the single prisoner cells on Devil's Island(s) I saw at 19, rusting manacles still embedded in the crumbling brick, and as hot as hell. I have three times become sick to my stomach when in certain rooms in old buildings - a feeling of panic and nausea and I have to leave. The reasons I seem to think of have to do with old energies there that are not good for me. On the other hand, I too love old buildings, and live in a 100 year old house that I love.

Same experienced all over the globe. Whenever you enter one of our buildings, owned or rented, it always has a particular silence and a cozy feeling of safety about it, as if the walls were 3 meters thick and not 40 cm and you really don't wan't to leave the place. Naturally fellows like the Turq will certainly come up with all sorts of cynical or rational explanations for this, mainly because Buddhism is a dead religion and they simply don't have this kind of buildings, however showoff grand and guilded they might be.

Anything to prevent you from facing the world which upsets you continuously. It is one thing to complain and insult and whine, but the real difference between you and most others who find something to whine about, is the others Get-Over-It.

PS You'll know the difference because life experiences don't begin with a title, and end with rolling credits. You'll figure it out after awhile. Will you marry me? --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb wrote: In studies I've read recently, researchers have found that those who score highly on a scale of neurotic behavior have a significantly higher risk of developing PTSD if exposed to a traumatic event. In the study, neuroticism was defined as a type of personality behavior in which people experience high degrees of anxiety in response to everyday events, and thus tend to overreact to those ordinary events. The hypothesis was that this tendency to overreact to the ordinary might put them at risk of developing PTSD if they were exposed to an extraordinary traumatic event. Well, the data backed that hypothesis up -- the neurotics *were* more likely to develop PTSD. PTSD is a disorder in which people are trapped in an endless loop of dwelling on and flashing back to the past. Some event triggered an initial reaction to the event, but this reaction fails to fade. It may, in fact, become stronger as time passes, and become very much an overreaction, leading to panic attacks, nightmares, sleep disorders, and resulting in the PTSD sufferers becoming easily startled and prone to emotional outbursts. They dwell on the past, can't get over it, and often attempt to get others to dwell on the same past, to as it were share the misery. Now extrapolate these findings to the Internet, and behavior we see there. Most people are non-neurotic in their everyday Net behavior. Sure, they might get pissed off about something someone says and go FLAME ON for a few posts, but then the next day it's forgotten, and both the flamer and the flamee are having civilized conversations again. Others hang on to perceived affronts longer. In other words, they start to display neurotic behavior, taking an ordinary event and turning it into a Big Fucking Deal, one that they just can't get over. So they may stay in FLAME ON mode for longer than the non-neurotic Net denizens -- a week, or occasionally a couple of weeks. Then there are the ones who hold onto perceived affronts for years. They turn them into vendettas, pursuing the supposed perpetrator of the original affront in thread after thread, even the ones that have nothing to do with whatever was originally considered an affront. They actively attempt to persuade others to dwell on this past affront the way they do, often citing posts *from* the past and encouraging others to read them, so that they can become as affronted by and unable to get over something that happened in the past as the grudgeholder is. Whatever precipitated the original affront, the grudgeholders continue to overreact to any mention of it, or any contact with the supposed perpetrator of the affront as if it happened minutes ago, not years ago. At times it feels -- vibe-wise -- as if they're having actual *flashbacks* of the original event, reliving the emotions it provoked for them in the past all over again. This last behavior strikes me as the Net counterpart of PTSD. That's my theory, anyway. Cyberstalking and holding long-term grudges on the Internet is a form of PTSD. On a spiritual level it's also classic samskaric behavior -- allowing yourself to be ruled by past impressions you can't get over. Maybe if those studies that indicate that TM is helpful in the treatment of PTSD are correct, these long-term Netgrudgeholders could benefit from learning it. Oh. Wait. Many of them already practice TM, and have for several decades. Never mind.
