Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Enlightenment to Steve and Xeno but not to you know who ha ha
You guys are so right on! My Mom has a Saturn. Though not in her garage. Just outside her condo. Well she actually doesn't have a garage. So it's not that she has a garage but doesn't use it, etc. And when I say just outside her condo I do want to clear that up. First there's the door. Well doors really. A sliding screen one which she says is cheap and needs to be replaced. And then a wooden one which has 2 locks though I'm only allowed to use one of them. Then a patio which evidently had lots of drama the last few months in that the walls were caving in. She's definitely putting that on the crazy couple upstairs and the shoddy contractors now long gone. Then some grass on which she doesn't like dogs to poop. Then a sidewalk. Then more grass which she also prefers to remain a poop free zone. Which I'm hoping we can all understand, even the dog lovers here. Then a curb. And then her very own handicapped parking space. That's where she keeps her Saturn. Which is white BTW. Thank God not a creamy white which is associated with the Moon. But more of a Venus white which is good for vehicles. Yay! Whew! Anyway, where was I? Oh yes, my Mom's Saturn. Which is actually funny because my Saturn is in Cancer which is ruled by the Moon which is associated with Mother in jyotish, astrology, and on all Batgap interviews (-: And the Moon in the 6th does aspect Saturn.

Having received regular Maharishi Light Therapy with Gem treatments here in southern california ( http://www.socalgemlight.com/ ) either twice or four times each month since my first treatment last march in 2012, I can safely say that, yes, it is a powerful treatment modality for improving consciousness and creativity, and the light beamers are laser penlights -- thus, the light passing through these gems is very coherent (unlike ambient lighting from any other source). I've had a ritam experience, one time, plus some kundalini awakening later on after that particular treatment. Also, I'm the last person to notice that I'm transcending during the treatments. I usually have to infer this from the fact that my experience of myself is so naturally transparent that I don't realize that this transparency is truly my Self.

Yes we are working on the grant proposals, none of them have yet been submitted to any of the philanthropic institutions we are approaching for funding - what difference does that make anyway?

If they have the money and can save the world, why are they not doing it. Back that up. Hey Michael, Why don't you try listening to what I said. I said TM can be judged by the results or lack of results in treating PTSD. I didn't say anything about the sidhis or whether TM produces world peace or any other claim. But you are so locked into your mindset that evidently you are unable to examine this one application without bringing in all your other peeves. That's fine, but it doesn't factor into whether TM helps PTSD or not and it doesn't pertain to the point I was bringing up. As for me, personally, I got results. I got results on the practical level and the spiritual level. And as for backing up claims, it was you that said you were working on grant proposals. Do you understand that? Those were your words, your claim. I asked how that was going and if you actually submitted any proposals. I guess you haven't. I guess that was just something to give you cover as you launch your usual rant.

[FairfieldLife] Re: To Ann...horses, Monty Roberts, Buck Brannaman
Thanks Ann. I didn't think you were ignoring me. I thought maybe the post had just gotten buried without being seen. :) Sweet regarding your friend that trained with Brannaman. I had never heard of him until last year, when someone recommended the documentary to me. We have an independent theater in town that was running the film at the time and I was able to catch it. Usually I'm not much of a movie goer. After seeing Buck and comparing the little I observed and read about Brannaman, I got the impression he was a bit more genuine/honest than Monty. But again, that was just my armchair impression. FFL Buck's feedback seemed to corroborate my impression. But it's still only my impression; no experience to back it up. You stated: In the end it does come down to gaining the horse's trust and also establishing yourself as the boss, but a benevolent boss. So true. I've found similar with dogs. (I currently own a pet-sitting/dog-walking service. Interestingly, I've found greyhounds to be close to a horse's temperament; at least the few greyhounds I work with.) I helped break in a few ponies in my younger days. All I recall is first I would spend time with them on a lead and grooming. We got to know each other. Then I'd get them familiar with a blanket on their back. Then familiar with the saddle on their back. Then familiar with me on their back. I have no idea if it was a correct way to break in a horse or not; it's just what we did on the farm...and it worked. When I was growing up, the neighborhood ponies horses lived in a large, large pasture which graced my back yard. My neighbor, Mr. Abernathy, oversaw the pasture and horses. We paid him a small amount of rent each month. He had a not-too-large stable and tack room. The girls in the neighborhood rode horses; the guys rode mini-bikes. (This was in the 1960s and early 70s.) We rode on trails in the neighborhood and in wide open pastures that were also in the hood. We could go at a full gallops in those wide open fields. We road all around the small city where I grew up (Hickory, North Carolina). That could not be done now due to the city's growth and rules and regulations. Plus, most of the wide open pastures and all the trails are gone...now developed with expensive homes. I only rode saddle seat a few times. I did learn to post, but that was my extent of my English riding. I did a little bit of jumping, but not very high. I rode mostly Western and bareback. As a child, I'd often pretend I was an American Indian. My pony and I were on grand adventures of survival. Other times I had saddle bags and would be a Western cowgirl. Ha. ;) I can tell that you have a great love for these majestic beings. They truly are majestic. And I'm glad to read of your success in training them. Your following paragraph should be published somewhere for horsemen/women. Ann stated: In my experience a true horseman is a true horseman irrespective of the discipline (western, english, saddle seat, endurance) they originate from. In the end it is all about the horse and establishing the conditions whereby the creature can have a safe and good life. If you ruin its confidence, its body or its trust you condemn it to a terrible and often short existence. Most people who ride are amateurs and they require safe and trained horses. If an animal 'falls between the cracks' and becomes useful to no one then it will be put down or languish in conditions characterized by neglect. No one wants to feed, house, shoe or otherwise put a lot of money into a big animal that has no practical purpose. So, as a horse trainer I always felt I had a huge responsibility to 'make' a horse that would be 'user friendly' (ie rideable by as many people as possible) so that they would always be sure to be worth feeding and loving. Thanks again Ann! I'd enjoy reading about your (or anyone's) horse adventures. *** --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Ann wrote: Hi Carol, I'm not ignoring you and I'm not in London yet, I just wanted to give this enough time for me to be able to answer you properly. I am no expert on Western or Horse Whisperer type approaches to training. I too read Robert's book (or two) and saw the movie with Redford and when it all came out I was intrigued because this man seemed to be able to go beyond regular training methods and approach the horse the way a horse approaches another of its kind. Brannaman is only someone I am slightly familiar with through another English horse trainer I know in Victoria who I respect very much. She comes from a hunter/jumper background and ran a barn in California for a long time but she is Canadian and returned to the Island (Vancouver Island) about 6 years ago.

The last Kumbh Mela was 12 years ago and is on again this week... In Indian mythology the Sanskrit word 'mela' means a 'festival' and 'khumb' means a 'pot'. According to the Indian literature, at the beginning of time, the Gods got together and churned the ocean to extract a substance which would confer immortality. The Gods agreed to share this mighty elixir, but one of them apparently absconded with the whole pot of Holy Ambrosia. Fleeing with the 'Nectar of the Gods', over the course of twelve days, the decoction Amrita was spilt onto four auspicious places, namely, Prayag, Hardwar, Ujjain, and Nasik.

for improving consciousness and creativity, and the light beamers are
laser penlights -- thus, the light passing through these gems is very
coherent (unlike ambient lighting from any other source). I've had a
ritam experience, one time, plus some kundalini awakening later on after
that particular treatment. Also, I'm the last person to notice that I'm
transcending during the treatments. I usually have to infer this from
the fact that my experience of myself is so naturally transparent that I
don't realize that this transparency is truly my Self. These gemlight
treatments are very empowering to the mind, so that care and
consideration given to one's thoughts, speech, and action is a very good
idea since they can materialize.

But I do agree with the critics, and wish that the filmmakers hadn't given the impression that valuable intelligence was gained in this manhunt as the result of torture. It wasn't... feste37: I refuse to see this movie, for that reason. Torture is a crime that should be prosecuted, not a legitimate interrogation technique that should be celebrated.

[FairfieldLife] Amma on Delhi rape/murder
Amma posted an article which was printed in the New Indian Express paper, regarding the Delhi tragedy. She spoke on this subject at her satsang just before leaving on the N. India tour. http://newindianexpress.com/lifestyle/spirituality/article1407336.ece Women, break your shackles and awaken By Mata Amritanandamayi06th January 2013 12:00 AM Amma wishes to express her deep sorrow about the recent trend of men in our country to trample women underfoot as pleasure-giving objects, with no consideration of human values. Is this country that taught unique and divine thoughts such as worshipping God as Mother, seeing God Consciousness in everything and showing tolerance to the world, now becoming a land of asuric, demonic minds? The latest atrocity was the most brutal physical and emotional abuse that a young girl in Delhi had to go through, which finally claimed her life. No one can question the reality of motherhood—that man is created from woman. Yet those who refuse to come out of the cocoon of their narrow minds will never be able to comprehend this—you cannot explain light to those who only know darkness. Who should awaken woman? What obstructs her awakening? The truth is that no external power can possibly obstruct woman or her innate qualities of motherhood—qualities such as love, empathy and patience. It is she—she alone—who has to awaken herself. A woman’s mind is the only real barrier that prevents this from happening. The rules and superstitious beliefs that degrade women, continue to prevail in most countries. The primitive customs invented by men to exploit and subjugate women remain alive to this day. Women and their minds have become entangled in the cobweb of those customs. An elephant can uproot huge trees with its trunk. When an elephant living in captivity is still a calf, it is tethered to a tree with a strong rope. The calf elephant tries with all its might to break the rope. When its efforts prove futile, it finally gives up. Later, when the same elephant is fully grown, it can be tethered to any small tree with a thin rope. It could easily free itself by uprooting the tree or breaking the rope. But because its mind has been conditioned by its prior experiences, it does not make the slightest attempt to break free. This is what is happening to women. The infinite potential inherent in man and woman is the same. If women really want to, they can easily break the shackles of the rules and conditioning that society has imposed on them. A woman’s greatest strength lies in her innate motherhood, in her creative, life-giving power. This power can help women bring about a far more significant change in society than men can ever accomplish. In today’s world, where everything is being contaminated and made unnatural, women should take extra care that her qualities of motherhood—her essential nature as a woman—don’t become contaminated and distorted. Yet, whether woman or man, one’s real humanity comes to light only when the feminine and masculine qualities within one are balanced. India has had such a great legacy of women who have contributed to all spheres of development in society; may it be warriors, teachers, spiritual luminaries, musicians or social workers. Though not acknowledged enough in our history books or in the social media, their contribution has been prolific. This legacy has to continue and grow with time. The forthcoming age should be dedicated to awakening universal motherhood. Women everywhere have to actualise the qualities of motherhood within themselves. This is the only way to realise our dream of peace and harmony. And it can be done! It is entirely up to us. Let us remember that real leadership is not to dominate or to control, but to serve others with love and compassion, and to inspire women and men alike through the example of our lives. Let us all pray that cruel minds, which denigrate women, be transformed. May the Paramatma help them to follow our rich tradition, and respect the women of this country and all other countries. The writer is a world renowned spiritual leader * * * * * * * * * The more Love you give, the more your heart is filled with Love. Love is like a never ending stream. -Amma

It could easily free itself by uprooting the tree or breaking the rope. But because its mind has been conditioned by its prior experiences, it does not make the slightest attempt to break free. This is what is happening to women. The infinite potential inherent in man and woman is the same. If women really want to, they can easily break the shackles of the rules and conditioning that society has imposed on them. A womanâs greatest strength lies in her innate motherhood, in her creative, life-giving power. This power can help women bring about a far more significant change in society than men can ever accomplish. In todayâs world, where everything is being contaminated and made unnatural, women should take extra care that her qualities of motherhoodâher essential nature as a womanâdonât become contaminated and distorted.

The forthcoming age should be dedicated to awakening universal motherhood. Women everywhere have to actualise the qualities of motherhood within themselves. This is the only way to realise our dream of peace and harmony. And it can be done! It is entirely up to us. Let us remember that real leadership is not to dominate or to control, but to serve others with love and compassion, and to inspire women and men alike through the example of our lives.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Amma on Delhi rape/murder
Well the main issue is that Amma somehow represents modern women and can somehow spearhead their concerns. A woman who kick started her career displaying divine mother possession tricks of her crude, uncivilized village culture in a mystically intoxicated state, a divine mother whose purity is derived from her supposed, specious ability to not pee or menstruate is an anathema to modern women. One look at her ashram in India should be enough to discern the traditional, conservative, misogynist values she represents. It's very revolting to read her platitudes. Osho - in spite of the dangerous cult he created - was headed in the right direction.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Amma on Delhi rape/murder
And of course I can totally relate to referring oneself in the third person, I have done this many times and it looks so silly in retrospect. The mystically intoxicated state creates such a sense of oneness, unity that it's very natural to refer to oneself in the third person. But surely it passes away, what comes after is the most interesting part. Here Amma being uneducated and growing up in a crude, unsophisticated village culture could only interpret her mystical intoxication in this crude, medieval context. But sooner or later she would have realized this mystical deception but power, attention absolutely corrupts.

[FairfieldLife] Man Reads Book
Fortunately, Raj Patel makes it clear his opinion on GM crops: Man Reads Book By Raj http://rajpatel.org/author/raj/ on 01/14/2013 in Uncategorized http://rajpatel.org/category/uncategorized/ It was such a non-issue that I really didn't want to write about it at all. I didn't know who Mark Lynas was and didn't know that he had changed his mind about genetically modified crops from being an opponent to a fan. But, clearly, it was a slow news week. The killing and the rape and the corporate crime and the climate change had been successfully reported. So a range of news outlets decided to give Lynas the air time he wanted, following this speech http://www.marklynas.org/2013/01/lecture-to-oxford-farming-conference-3\ -january-2013/ . Frankly, there's not much to read. Mark Lynas opposed GM crops because he thought they were bad but now he has `discovered science', and that makes him a better environmentalist and a supporter of the pesticide industry's sale of genetically modified crops and it possibly makes him regret studying politics and modern history. In general, it's a good thing that people discover science. It usually means they've left behind dogma in favour of peer review and data. In this piece http://www.foodfirst.org/en/GMO+uproar+in+EU , scientist John Vandermeer welcomes Lynas to science, and looks forward to Lynas' reading more science in the future. After all, some of the most reasoned arguments against GM crops come from those who have embraced science for far longer than Lynas. GM Free Cymru http://www.gmfreecymru.org/pivotal_papers/lynas_school.html and The Union of Concerned Scientists note, though, that Lynas hasn't really given up on the dogma http://blog.ucsusa.org/science-dogma-and-mark-lynas/ , seeming to have swapped his old prejudices for the kind of pro-business platform that'll keep him flush with industry conference honoraria for the next year or two. There's really not much more to be said. It could be that Lynas will, like Bjorn Lomborg, noisily muddle from one position to another, trailing the scientific debates by a decade, but anticipating the winds of conservative thinking by a month or two. Ultimately, though, it matters little. While Lynas embarks on his journey from knee-jerkery to scientific neophyte to, we hope, scientific sophisticate, science and sustainable farming are demonstrating both that GM crops are irrelevant in feeding the world, and that they're the worst among many far better alternatives. Which is a far more interesting story to report than that Mark Lynas has read a book. rajpatel.org

[FairfieldLife] Re: A FFL Meditator Survey
Dear FairfieldLife; Seeing these results, as an old and conservative meditator I ask, is this the best that people on FairfieldLife can muster? This number of people who have no survey opinion itself is remarkable. It has to bring to mind whether members and people lurking here practice a proper meditation effectively at all. This is concerning. As the results flowed in, this survey seems to indicate a troubling trend showing a poor quality of meditators here. This larger number of mediators unable to answer evidently based on their own poor spiritual experience with group meditations is troubling; calls to question that meditators posting or lurking here should better attend to proper meditation with more discipline towards their time in meditation, regularity of practice, and even just attending to the practice. It is shocking to see the general lack of experiential reference of people here on FFL given the remarkable science on group meditation otherwise for those who do practice it effectively. This survey certainly calls to question the credibility of supposed meditators and spiritual people here on FFL. In conclusion, clearly there is something significant here suggesting a profound need for better instruction, re-education, more checking of meditations, and in the least that the community of FFL should better sit up with renewed discipline about the practice. A meditation is a terrible thing to waste. Waste not want not. Attend to it. -Buck in the Dome --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Buck wrote: Yep,, I do love the effect of group meditations. They are spiritually so vital and real with good meditators. I've known this from even way back in the group dhyan of old style silent Quaker Meeting. Those people recognized the enhanced value of it even 350 years ago. Yet even as a young TM meditator long over 40 years ago the Field effect of meditating in groups was evident. For some years in the Iowa town of my birth where I growed up there was huge group meditations every week in the Union and they were powerful in the spiritual experience of the Field Effect then. Even held them at noontime through the week. People flocked to them because of the spiritual moment of them. The Field effect of meditation in the Domes is really quite incredible that way, large and palpable when you meditate there. It's a really nice place to meditate.

I've had a ritam experience, one time, plus some kundalini awakening later on after that particular treatment. Also, I'm the last person to notice that I'm transcending during the treatments. I usually have to infer this from the fact that my experience of myself is so naturally transparent that I don't realize that this transparency is truly my Self.

They use some sort of light (frequency depends on the gem involved, amethyst, emerald, etc -- seven types of gems used all told) in a flashlight- type device which shines light through 12 gems set in gold. The light is flashed on the palm of the hand (some of the photos in newspaper articles show people getting the light beam on the forehead even though the Raj people only talked about palm application), and people are reporting good experiences (some expansion of consciousness, healing of injured area, etc) in the 300 treatments at the Raj to date. The light is supposed to act on the light body of the recipient, and although there are side effects like healing, it's basically designed to remove obstacles to enlightenment values more than just wearing gems, with the goal of letting celestial light fill the body. In Switzerland all the HMOs pay for this therapy up to 80% of the cost of treatment. Ayurveda recipes including powdered gems are legal in Germany, but not yet legal in the USA.

Hey Michael, Why don't you try listening to what I said. I said TM can be judged by the results or lack of results in treating PTSD. I didn't say anything about the sidhis or whether TM produces world peace or any other claim. But you are so locked into your mindset that evidently you are unable to examine this one application without bringing in all your other peeves. That's fine, but it doesn't factor into whether TM helps PTSD or not and it doesn't pertain to the point I was bringing up. As for me, personally, I got results. I got results on the practical level and the spiritual level. And as for backing up claims, it was you that said you were working on grant proposals. Do you understand that? Those were your words, your claim. I asked how that was going and if you actually submitted any proposals. I guess you haven't. I guess that was just something to give you cover as you launch your usual rant.

Is this country that taught unique and divine thoughts such as worshipping God as Mother, seeing God Consciousness in everything and showing tolerance to the world, now becoming a land of asuric, demonic minds? The latest atrocity was the most brutal physical and emotional abuse that a young girl in Delhi had to go through, which finally claimed her life. No one can question the reality of motherhoodâthat man is created from woman. Yet those who refuse to come out of the cocoon of their narrow minds will never be able to comprehend thisâyou cannot explain light to those who only know darkness. Who should awaken woman? What obstructs her awakening? The truth is that no external power can possibly obstruct woman or her innate qualities of motherhoodâqualities such as love, empathy and patience. It is sheâshe aloneâwho has to awaken herself. A womanâs mind is the only real barrier that prevents this from happening. The rules and superstitious beliefs that degrade women, continue to prevail in most countries. The primitive customs invented by men to exploit and subjugate women remain alive to this day. Women and their minds have become entangled in the cobweb of those customs. An elephant can uproot huge trees with its trunk. When an elephant living in captivity is still a calf, it is tethered to a tree with a strong rope. The calf elephant tries with all its might to break the rope. When its efforts prove futile, it finally gives up. Later, when the same elephant is fully grown, it can be tethered to any small tree with a thin rope. It could easily free itself by uprooting the tree or breaking the rope. But because its mind has been conditioned by its prior experiences, it does not make the slightest attempt to break free. This is what is happening to women. The infinite potential inherent in man and woman is the same. If women really want to, they can easily break the shackles of the rules and conditioning that society has imposed on them. A womanâs greatest strength lies in her innate motherhood, in her creative, life-giving power. This power can help women bring about a far more significant change in society than men can ever accomplish. In todayâs world, where everything is being contaminated and made unnatural, women should take extra care that her qualities of motherhoodâher essential nature as a womanâdonât become contaminated and distorted. Yet, whether woman or man, oneâs real humanity comes to light only when the feminine and masculine qualities within one are balanced. India has had such a great legacy of women who have contributed to all spheres of development in society; may it be warriors, teachers, spiritual luminaries, musicians or social workers. Though not acknowledged enough in our history books or in the social media, their contribution has been prolific. This legacy has to continue and grow with time. The forthcoming age should be dedicated to awakening universal motherhood. Women everywhere have to actualise the qualities of motherhood within themselves. This is the only way to realise our dream of peace and harmony. And it can be done! It is entirely up to us. Let us remember that real leadership is not to dominate or to control, but to serve others with love and compassion, and to inspire women and men alike through the example of our lives. Let us all pray that cruel minds, which denigrate women, be transformed. May the Paramatma help them to follow our rich tradition, and respect the women of this country and all other countries.

from Truthdig.com I like Chris Hedges. He is such a doomsday merchant. The Myth of Human Progress Posted on Jan 13, 2013 By Chris Hedges Clive Hamilton in his âRequiem for a Species: Why We Resist the Truth About Climate Changeâ describes a dark relief that comes from accepting that âcatastrophic climate change is virtually certain.â This obliteration of âfalse hopes,â he says, requires an intellectual knowledge and an emotional knowledge. The first is attainable. The second, because it means that those we love, including our children, are almost certainly doomed to insecurity, misery and suffering within a few decades, if not a few years, is much harder to acquire. To emotionally accept impending disaster, to attain the gut-level understanding that the power elite will not respond rationally to the devastation of the ecosystem, is as difficult to accept as our own mortality. The most daunting existential struggle of our time is to ingest this awful truthâintellectually and emotionallyâand continue to resist the forces that are destroying us. http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/the_myth_of_human_progress_20130113/

I am not defending anything, or rationalizing anyone's behavior. However, aside from the utopian engine that we all wanted the TMO to be, the people that stick with an organization are always better at perpetuating the organization, than fulfilling its goals.

Were I to be in such a position, I would have a plethora of stories or articles about the seamy side of TM, and from all I have seen, experienced and heard, much of it here on FFL, when you look at the whole picture of the history of Marshy and the TMO, it is a pretty sordid tale. If the people whom Lynch and associates are courting could see interviews with people like Edg and Barry, Mark Landau, Judith Borque, Ned Wynn, Billy Clayton, Are Holen and match them up with the interviews of celebs like Oprah and others who praise TM - then they could make their own choice. That would be my preference. Until such a thing happens I still don't like frauds and liars and that includes the TMO and its founder and its current leadership and if you don't like it, tough. You act as if it is a given that TM is the BEST treatment for PTSD which it is not, and given the fact there are other meditations that can also be of benefit to vets with PTSD there is no reason to use TM given its baggage. In closing it would be useful to remember that whether PTSD folks meditate or not, there are other more useful in the moment and more necessary modalities that have to be used in a PTSD treatment program for best results, much more important that TM or any other meditation. You can't just use TM or any meditation and expect it to magically dissolve all the markers of PTSD.

You expressed an intent to help those suffering from PTSD. I was wondering what progress you had made toward that end. And if you can't understand that having something good taught by people who are not examples of the good of that technique perhaps you should learn something about logic and critical thinking. Ok, you don't like the people who are in charge of the program and so you feel they should be prevented from implementing the program. How's that philosophy working for you? I really have a problem with my banking representative at US Bank. I feel she is unresponsive and arrogant. Do you think I should begin a campaign to have her fired, or should I just find a different bank? (and so I did. find a different bank)  From: seventhray27 To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, January 13, 2013 11:55 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Another point of view about TM for PTSD vets, students, prison inmates, etc. à--- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,

Better ask Girish if he needs another Rolls.) Last time I saw Girish in a car he was sitting in a President. Maharishi never had Rolls or Bently either. Why this silly campaign to try to convince everybody about this nonsense ?
