Hi Carol, I always played slow pitch so I doubt I could even hit one of those 
fast pitches!  I don't know what a rollie bat is but my Grandad played sandlot 
baseball so I guess it's in my genes.  Speaking of which, the name of the Bruce 
Lipton movie is also Biology of Belief.  The public library showed it here a 
few years ago.  I remember some research about putting a few skin cells from a 
person in a petrie dish.  When that person heard their spouse say I love you, 
even in the next room, their skin cells changed.  Very cool stuff.  Anyway, 
here's a question:  if we were to find some cells of Copernicus, could we say I 
love you to them and would that benefit Copernicus?  Another kind of time 
travel maybe.

Women's softball pitchers are fun to watch. 

I never played softball much except in a few sandlot games. I played lots of 
sandlot rollie bat. Did ya'll play rollie bat? I wonder if kids still play 
that...or was it a 60s and 70s thing.

Sixties thing...like running through the pesticide when the bug spray truck 
would drive through the hood. It's amazing we aren't more messed up. Ha.

I'm not familiar with the movie you are referring to; what is the name of it? I 
googled Bruce Lipton. I recall hearing about his book Biology of Belief. But 
I haven't read it. It may behoove me to put it on my list. 

I have read Norman Cousins' book Head First: The Biology of Hope which I 
found intriguing. But it is dated compared to what is out there now.

I enjoyed Candace Pert's book Molecules of Emotion. I really enjoyed reading 
about her story as a woman in a man's field in the 60s ... I think it was the 
60s. 

I'm more than skeptical of Emoto's claims, the little bit I've heard/read about

But then, people were also skeptical of Copernicus in his day.

[FairfieldLife] Proof of Heaven - for Emily

2013-04-12 Thread Ann
Hey Emily, I have finished the book and I enjoyed it. I would characterize 
'Proof of Heaven' as a big book within a little book. On one level it is a 
little book, it is merely one man's experience of a place, a reality that he 
believes was true. What he reveals about his experience is lovely in the 
extreme; it is very personal and I would love most aspects of what he saw and 
perceived to be true. The big part of the book for me is that it has 
permanently instilled in me a vision and a hope for what could be waiting for 
me after death.

I believe Eben to be a courageous man who, in the male-dominated medical 
profession, has put himself forward for what he knows to be probable ridicule 
in his peers' eyes. It is very evident from his writing that his NDE is the one 
most substantial event in his life and because of what it has done for him 
personally, on all levels, he feels it vital to communicate his 'findings' 
while in his coma to the world. That is how positive and life altering his coma 
experience was, let alone the very near to dying he came with a very rare 
disease for someone his age. 

Then there is, of course, the 'miracle' of complete recovery from virtual brain 
death as more proof to him that he was 'chosen' to have this NDE and recovery 
in order to spread a message of hope and happiness for people. Plus, being a 
learned man in the area of the brain and its functioning, its physical makeup 
and how disease or health manifests as well as knowledge gained through years 
practicing and studying within in his profession, his opinions and scientific 
evidence give more clout to dispel the notion his NDE was merely a vision or 
brain-originating hallucination. He gives strong evidence for why it could not 
be that but was the EXPERIENCE OF PURE CONSCIOUSNESS unsullied by brain 
function or memory or projection.

I also found that in his description of the various 'strata' of those worlds he 
visited after falling into his deep coma  that they resonated with some part of 
me. The worm's eye view was something I felt I had some knowledge of as well as 
the infinite bliss and love of the deeper places, the places even closer to 
God. I felt in his descriptions a tickling of some deeper memory for me of some 
truth there so I take his NDE very seriously.

Thanks for recommending the book, it was a worthwhile read and maybe as close 
as we can come to a scientifically backed up explanation for what might 
possibly exist, for some or for all, after dropping the body. No matter what, 
it is a lovely idea or vision to hold in one's awareness while we still clamber 
about this planet in the body we currently possess.

 Hey Emily, I have finished the book and I enjoyed it. I would characterize 
 'Proof of Heaven' as a big book within a little book. On one level it is a 
 little book, it is merely one man's experience of a place, a reality that he 
 believes was true. What he reveals about his experience is lovely in the 
 extreme; it is very personal and I would love most aspects of what he saw and 
 perceived to be true. The big part of the book for me is that it has 
 permanently instilled in me a vision and a hope for what could be waiting for 
 me after death.
 
 I believe Eben to be a courageous man who, in the male-dominated medical 
 profession, has put himself forward for what he knows to be probable ridicule 
 in his peers' eyes. It is very evident from his writing that his NDE is the 
 one most substantial event in his life and because of what it has done for 
 him personally, on all levels, he feels it vital to communicate his 
 'findings' while in his coma to the world. That is how positive and life 
 altering his coma experience was, let alone the very near to dying he came 
 with a very rare disease for someone his age. 
 
 Then there is, of course, the 'miracle' of complete recovery from virtual 
 brain death as more proof to him that he was 'chosen' to have this NDE and 
 recovery in order to spread a message of hope and happiness for people. Plus, 
 being a learned man in the area of the brain and its functioning, its 
 physical makeup and how disease or health manifests as well as knowledge 
 gained through years practicing and studying within in his profession, his 
 opinions and scientific evidence give more clout to dispel the notion his NDE 
 was merely a vision or brain-originating hallucination. He gives strong 
 evidence for why it could not be that but was the EXPERIENCE OF PURE 
 CONSCIOUSNESS unsullied by brain function or memory or projection.
 
 I also found that in his description of the various 'strata' of those worlds 
 he visited after falling into his deep coma  that they resonated with some 
 part of me. The worm's eye view was something I felt I had some knowledge of 
 as well as the infinite bliss and love of the deeper places, the places even 
 closer to God. I felt in his descriptions a tickling of some deeper memory

Carol, I'm pretty sure it was HeartMath research that Lipton was talking about 
but don't remember if they duplicated it.  Their website might have more info.  
A LOT of research is cited in the documentary, a lot of teachers interviewed.  
And my memory is faulty.  Anyway, because of my interest in EFT I've heard of 
Eden's book.  Though having written that, I realize that maybe EFT tapping 
could be considered a bit of a bridge between energy work and acupuncture which 
has a longer tradition.

I have 20 notebooks from having been in a women's writing group for periods of

edit comes up and so they remain in paper form for now.  And yes, it is 
wonderful to read some of the previous writing.  


Thanks, I really like the Audubon quote and how you'd change it.  You got me 
thinking about what it means to experience something.  So many levels of 
experiencing can be present in a moment:  the sensory for sure, but also any 
memories the sensory might be evoking on either the mental or energetic level.  
See my PS below for an example of this.  For sure it's a gift to be human.

Yours is the more common distinction. The music of the hillbilly is shaped by 
Irish and Scottish folk music rather than black culture.  They are almost 
direct opposites musically.
I think he is using it as a euphemism for I don't like you.

Growing up in the blues I made stronger distinctions between African American 
based blues and the white blues of say Hank Williams.  In my recent research I 
am finding that there was more of a crossover between white and black cultures 
in music than I had realized, especially cowboy music.  Black bluesmen were as 
crazy about cowboys as everyone else.  When Alan Lomax went to record Muddy 
Waters before he went to Chicago in 1941 he knew more cowboy songs than blues 
songs!  Alan only recorded his blues songs in that session which is kind of too 
bad.  Tommy Johnson yodeled in his 1928 recording.

I don't feel much affinity with the twang in their voices but the themes of the 
blues sure zoom forth in this song by Jimmy Davis who had a number one hit in 
'40 followed by Gene Autry's number one hit with the same song in '41.  But 
check out the first verse for all the blues.  Gene started with the chorus in 
his version, and it changes the blues vibe of the song completely. I play this 
in old folks homes, they love it.


The other night, dear,
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms.
When I awoke, dear,
I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried.

You are my sunshine,

You make me happy

How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.

I'll always love you
And make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me

You'll regret it all some day;

You are my sunshine,

You make me happy

And no one else could come between
But now you've left me

There was also a version where at some point, someone would lay the bat down, 
and someone else would roll the ball in, and if it hit the bat and bounced up, 
and you were able to catch the ball on the bounce, you won that round,or got 
some points.  But I can't remember the name of that game. 

So, when you say roller ball that also comes to mind.

   play that...or was it a 60s and 70s thing.
   
   Sixties thing...like running through the pesticide when the bug spray 
   truck would drive through the hood. It's amazing we aren't more messed

   I'm not familiar with the movie you are referring to; what is the name of 
   it? I googled Bruce Lipton. I recall hearing about his book Biology of 
   Belief. But I haven't read it. It may behoove me to put it on my list. 
   
   I have read Norman Cousins' book Head First: The Biology of Hope which 
   I found intriguing. But it is dated compared to what is out there now.
   
   I enjoyed Candace Pert's book Molecules of Emotion. I really enjoyed 
   reading about her story as a woman in a man's field in the 60s ... I 
   think it was the 60s. 
   
   I'm more than skeptical of Emoto's claims, the little bit I've heard/read

 An Iranian scientist has claimed to have invented a 'time machine' that
 can predict the future of any individual with a 98 per cent accuracy.

 Serial inventor Ali Razeghi registered The Aryayek Time Traveling

 According to a Fars news agency report, Mr Razeghi, 27, claims the
 machine uses algorithms to produce a print-out of the details of any
 individual's life between five and eight years into their future.

 Mr Razeghi, quoted in the Telegraph, said: My invention easily fits
 into the size of a personal computer case and can predict details of the
 next 5-8 years of the life of its users. It will not take you into the
 future, it will bring the future to you.

 Razeghi is the managing director of Iran's Centre for Strategic
 Invention and reportedly has another 179 inventions registered in his
 name.

 He claims the invention could help the government predict military
 conflict and forecast fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies
 and oil prices.

 According to Mr Razeghi his latest project has been criticised by his
 friends and family for trying to play God.

 Iranian authorities are keen to showcase the technological prowess of
 the country but have been criticised in recent months for allegedly
 faking pictures of a new jet fighter flying over mountains.

 Prior to that the government was accused of also faking claims that it
 successfully sent a monkey into space when before and after pictures
 appeared to show a markedly different animal.

You've raised a good question there.  It would seem that one needs a special 
siddhi for that kind of communication, if it's possible at all.

On another note, I'm reading a jyotish book right now that mentioned a 
technique for determining your previous lives.  That's done by taking the 
position of Jupiter in your chart and regressing it back to the previous house. 
 So, that altered lagna would represent your previous life.

With this technique, you can regress back to many lifetimes at will. :)

Maybe so; there is a close relationship between blues and 
country music of the 1920s. They say the first Rock 'n Roll 
song was 'Blue Suede Shoes' which was recorded on December 
1955 by Carl Perkins. One of my favorite performers from 
the early days is John Fogerty.

Creole, Cajun, and Zydeco music gave rise to Cajunta music.

As a result, the music integrated waltz, shuffles, two-steps, 
blues, rock and roll, and other dance music forms of the era. 
Today, zydeco integrates genres such as RB, soul, brass band,
reggae, hip hop, ska, rock, Afro-Caribbean and other styles, 
in addition to the traditional forms.

Richard, a friend of mine who has very good experiences says that maya is a 
covering, then it's a transparent veil.  But finally it's actually a ladder, a 
means to fullest realization.  Also, if consciousness is the only reality, then 
how can everything else be an appearance?  Aren't the sense also consciousness? 
 I'm having a little deja vu as in we've had this discussion before but 
Maharishi says that at the deepest level of reality, Purusha IS Prakriti.  
Finally, my oft quoted favorite from the Veda:  Brahman says, My indestructible 
maya.

Share Long:
 What do you think it means when he says that the 
 mind...will withdraw from samsara on its own?

The POV of Adwaita, according to the Adwaita Tradition 
of Shankaracharya, is 'consciousness is the only 
reality', everything else is an appearance based on
the senses. 

According to the founder of Adwaita in India, Adwaita 
is the realization that things and events are an 
*illusion*; and the *dispelling of illusion* by a 
process of experiential yogic transcendental 
meditation. 

Gaudapada:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaudapada

In the Adwaita realization, the witness, Purusha, the 
Transcendental Person, stands all by Itself as the 
Self in Pure Consciousness *isolated* from the 
prakriti.

Adwaita is based on pure monism: there is One reality, 
all the perceptions are appearance only. GD taught 
that 'Brahman is Light; it needs no other light for 
illumination'.

The difference is the same as the difference between 
rice and paddy. Remove the skin of the paddy and it 
is rice. Similarly, remove the covering of Maya, and 
the Jiva will become Brahman. - SBS

  Will LBS soon publish the words of Guru DEV? 
 
 In reality, the aim of life is to stop the mind from 
 involvement with this world. If one engages in the 
 spiritual practice of Bhagavan and in thinking and 
 speaking about Him, the mind will start dwelling on 
 Him, and after some time, it will withdraw from 
 samsara on its own. - Swami Brahmananda Saraswati

Only kidding, SRV forever!

Great clips, one of the great rock vocalists.

I don't know where I would place the first Rock N' Roll song but it would be a 
white guy for me.  The term, as I'm sure you know is a blues euphemism, and 
plenty of guys were speeding up the blues into a recognizable rock styles in 
the 40's like Howlin Wolf and Muddy.

Blues plus Rockabilly = Elvis's formula 
Blues plus Skiffle = early Beatles

Here is my pick for the first real Rock 'N roller:

Sister Rosetta Tharp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWB_1OBWskU

There is a fantastic documentary on her on the PBS app

 Creole, Cajun, and Zydeco music gave rise to Cajunta music.
 
 As a result, the music integrated waltz, shuffles, two-steps,

With Ben Affleck it might well be hit or miss.  And is there really a 
guy named Terence Malick or is it really the name of a production

 Drums solos are mostly bullshit anyway.  You just play stuff the

 drumnastics or a gymnastic approach to drumming.  It would be
 interesting to hear what this drummer would play if he wasn't concerned

This is reported to be not as good as Tree of Life.  And the females in this 
one apparently do alot of that twirling about and looking at the sky that 
Jessica Chastain did in Tree of Life.  So that makes me a bit uneasy.  For me, 
Tree of Life had tons of content (loss of innocence, coming of age, father/sons 
especially in the 50's, how a person feels when they give up dreams of work, 
dealing with the loss of a child or sibling, seeing death or scarring of a 
playmate - a peer, how psiritual views change as one matures). There was a good 
deal of extraneous stuff in the movie, too.  Malick takes his time, which can 
be annoying, but somehow that slow pace seems right for the issues he deals 
with.  But Tree of Life was one of those movies that felt really different for 
different people.

 An Iranian scientist has claimed to have invented a 'time machine' that
 can predict the future of any individual with a 98 per cent accuracy.

 Serial inventor Ali Razeghi registered The Aryayek Time Traveling
 Machine with Iran's state-run Centre for Strategic Inventions, The
 Telegraph reported.
 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/iran/9985757/Irani\

 According to a Fars news agency report, Mr Razeghi, 27, claims the
 machine uses algorithms to produce a print-out of the details of any
 individual's life between five and eight years into their future.

 Mr Razeghi, quoted in the Telegraph, said: My invention easily fits
 into the size of a personal computer case and can predict details of the
 next 5-8 years of the life of its users. It will not take you into the
 future, it will bring the future to you.

 Razeghi is the managing director of Iran's Centre for Strategic
 Invention and reportedly has another 179 inventions registered in his
 name.

 He claims the invention could help the government predict military
 conflict and forecast fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies
 and oil prices.

 According to Mr Razeghi his latest project has been criticised by his
 friends and family for trying to play God.

 Iranian authorities are keen to showcase the technological prowess of
 the country but have been criticised in recent months for allegedly
 faking pictures of a new jet fighter flying over mountains.

 Prior to that the government was accused of also faking claims that it
 successfully sent a monkey into space when before and after pictures
 appeared to show a markedly different animal.

 Try Dying to be Me by Anita Moorjani if you have a mind to - I loved it.

Thanks for the recommendation. I have an iPad and will order it tonight. I love 
the instant gratification when it comes to being able to order books online 
like that and download them immediately. I thought I would miss the feel of the 
paper and the book in my hand more when reading from a tablet screen (iPad) 
plus I feel veyy guilty about not buying from my local bookstores (I always 
try to buy from independent bookstores, being an little independent shop owner 
myself).

Now I can continue to obsess on death and dying more than I usually do by 
reading a second book on it. Hopefully ' Dying to be Me'  will be uplifting. I 
tend to get rather Woody Allenish about illness and death. I need all the 
uplift I can get.

 Subject: [FairfieldLife] Proof of Heaven - for Emily
  
 
 
   
 Hey Emily, I have finished the book and I enjoyed it. I would characterize 
 'Proof of Heaven' as a big book within a little book. On one level it is a 
 little book, it is merely one man's experience of a place, a reality that he 
 believes was true. What he reveals about his experience is lovely in the 
 extreme; it is very personal and I would love most aspects of what he saw and 
 perceived to be true. The big part of the book for me is that it has 
 permanently instilled in me a vision and a hope for what could be waiting for 
 me after death.
 
 I believe Eben to be a courageous man who, in the male-dominated medical 
 profession, has put himself forward for what he knows to be probable ridicule 
 in his peers' eyes. It is very evident from his writing that his NDE is the 
 one most substantial event in his life and because of what it has done for 
 him personally, on all levels, he feels it vital to communicate his 
 'findings' while in his coma to the world. That is how positive and life 
 altering his coma experience was, let alone the very near to dying he came 
 with a very rare disease for someone his age. 
 
 Then there is, of course, the 'miracle' of complete recovery from virtual 
 brain death as more proof to him that he was 'chosen' to have this NDE and 
 recovery in order to spread a message of hope and happiness for people. Plus, 
 being a learned man in the area of the brain and its functioning, its 
 physical makeup and how disease or health manifests as well as knowledge 
 gained through years practicing and studying within in his profession, his 
 opinions and scientific evidence give more clout to dispel the notion his NDE 
 was merely a vision or brain-originating hallucination. He gives strong 
 evidence for why it could not be that but was the EXPERIENCE OF PURE 
 CONSCIOUSNESS unsullied by brain function or memory or projection.
 
 I also found that in his description of the various 'strata' of those worlds 
 he visited after falling into his deep coma  that they resonated with some 
 part of me. The worm's eye view was something I felt I had some knowledge of 
 as well as the infinite bliss and love of the deeper places, the places even 
 closer to God. I felt in his descriptions a tickling of some deeper memory 
 for me of some truth there so I take his NDE very seriously.
 
 Thanks for recommending the book, it was a worthwhile read and maybe as close 
 as we can come to a scientifically backed up explanation for what might 
 possibly exist, for some or for all, after dropping the body. No matter what, 
 it is a lovely idea or vision to hold in one's awareness while we still 
 clamber about this planet in the body we currently possess.





[FairfieldLife] For True Cat Lovers Only

2013-04-12 Thread Ann
Now, you tell me if you could have one of these in your house, to pet
and cuddle. If so, you are a better person (or at least a stronger one)
than me. Welcome to the world of hairless cats. And I know there are a
lot of cat lovers here.They just make me want to cover them up with a
knitted sweater or something. Poor little things. On second thought, I
would want one, just so I could let it know it is loved despite its
appearance. Did humans breed these or do they occur naturally? Surely
not. (The nose on the bottom photo looks like the same one the Straw Man
has in the Wizard of Oz.)

 About 6-1/2 minutes, worth every second. A brilliant
 piece of filmmaking.

This is hilarious. Talk about NDE's if, in fact these rides exist, which seems 
to be perfectly ludicrous. It took me a while to realize this was a spoof. 
Really well done. That first ride is gorgeous though, with all the people on 
swings on multi-levels. Very other-worldly.

 Many of his thoughts in the Yoga Sutras can be related to the ideas in 
 quantum physics today.  In sutra III.45, he stated:
 
 Thence results the manifestation of the powers, such as atomization et 
 cetera, perfection of the body and indestructibility of its constituents.
 
 Specifically, animan pertains the miniaturization of the body.  But it could 
 also cover the siddhi to see parts of the body, such as the details of the 
 retina in the eyes.
 
 This specific siddhi is the prime example that the universe is based on 
 consciousness.  Even the dimensions of space and time are based on 
 consciousness.  If this is so, the higher dimensions theorized in physics are 
 not curbed and hidden within space-time. Rather, these dimensions are the 
 various vibrations relating to the states of consciousness in the human 
 experience.
 
 In other words, the common experiences of waking, sleeping, and dreaming are 
 part of the higher vibrations of the space-time continuum.  In effect, all of 
 nature, even a rock, experiences a form of waking, sleeping and dreaming.
 
 Ultimately, however, only the human physiology can experience Unity 
 Consciousness.  As such, it's fascinating to contemplate that the human being 
 is the culmination of creation in the universe.
