[FairfieldLife] The Smoothie [was Re: I create my reality Yeah, right...]

2013-07-18 Thread sparaig
I meant enlightenment as defined by the physiological changes brought about 
by the long-term practice of TM as opposed to enlightenment defined by the 
physiological changes brought about by the long-term practice of other 
techniques, such as mindfulness.

There's several fundamental differences in how teh nervous system behaves in 
long-term TMers and long-term practitioners of mindfulness, and most other 
forms of meditation.

Specifically: most other forms of meditation depress the activity of the parts 
of the brain thought to be responsible for sense of self.

TM enhances those same parts of the brain.

Most other forms of meditation serve to decouple various parts of the brain 
from each other, making them less and less in-synch as time goes on.

TM has exactly the opposite effect.

Ok, but it is incorrect to refer to those two different expressions of the 
physiology, as two different types of enlightenment. 

Once liberation is achieved, it is exactly the same, no matter what the means. 
The eternal freedom achieved through the practice of TM, is identical to that 
achieved through any other means. If it isn't, it isn't Moksha.

TM is a very reliable means to clean up the body and mind. However, there are 
no precursors to enlightenment. It results when we are somehow permanently 
attuned to, and living, the Grace of life. How we get there is a mystery that 
reveals itself, once we are established in  total freedom.

[FairfieldLife] Re: The Neuroscience of Narcissism; plus Barry's Irony Deficit

2013-07-18 Thread authfriend
It will surprise no one here to learn that Barry's
subject heading misrepresents this article. It has
nothing to do with narcissism but is rather about
the behavior of normal people. The conclusion is
that talking about oneself is a beneficial adaptive
activity, which may well be why we're wired to find
it rewarding.

The nut graph:

Talking about the self is not at odds with the adaptive functions of 
communication. Disclosing private information to others can increase 
interpersonal liking and aid in the formation of new social bonds—outcomes that 
influence everything from physical survival to subjective happiness. Talking 
about one's own thoughts and self-perceptions can lead to personal growth via 
external feedback. And sharing information gained through personal experiences 
can lead to performance advantages by enabling teamwork and shared 
responsibility for memory. Self-disclosure can have positive effects on 
everything from the most basic of needs—physical survival—to personal growth 
through enhanced self-knowledge; self-disclosure, like other forms of 
communication, seems to be adaptive.

Barry should speak for himself. Others here had no
problems reading Robin's posts. And of course Robin
talked about many things besides himself (which Barry
isn't aware of because of his inability to read
Robin's posts).

The article notes:

On average, people spend 60 percent of conversations talking about 
themselves—and this figure jumps to 80 percent when communicating via social 
media platforms such as Twitter or Facebook.

I'd say Robin's posts fell comfortably within this
average. It appears to me that most of us on FFL,
including Barry, are about average in this regard.

again those who were more familiar with his posts were
able to tell right away when he was being ironic.
Likewise, most of us have no trouble knowing when DrD
is being ironic.

Some folks just aren't endowed with that kind of
sensitivity. They miss out on a lot as a result and
often--especially if they tend to think of themselves
as extra-smart, as Barry does--find themselves
feeling angry and defensive when they've spouted off
about irony they thought was serious. The only way
they have of saving face is to claim the ironist was
lying about being ironic.

Unfortunately, that ploy is likely to work only if the
rest of the audience has been similarly flummoxed.
Otherwise the person attempting to save face just 
makes himself look dopey and mean-spirited.

(Barry, do you remember the merry chase Delia led
you on with her story about dihydrogen monoxide,
DHMO, on alt.m.t? There was no way you could wiggle
out of that one. One of the most hilarious sequences
I've ever seen on an electronic forum.)

[FairfieldLife] Ann Coulter on the truth of the Zimmerman case.

2013-07-18 Thread wgm4u
July 17, 2013 Black liberals keep bemoaning the danger to their own
teenage sons after the not guilty verdict in George Zimmerman's murder
trial. To avoid what happened to Trayvon Martin, their boys need only
follow this advice: Don't walk up to a stranger and punch him,
ground-and-pound him, MMA-style, and repeatedly smash his head against
the pavement.

The Justice-for-Trayvon crowd keeps pretending there hasn't been a trial
where the evidence overwhelmingly showed that Trayvon committed the
first (and only) crime that night by assaulting Zimmerman. Instead, the
race agitators are sticking with the original story peddled by the
media, back when we had zero facts. To wit, that Zimmerman had stalked a
young black child and shot him dead just for being black and wearing a
hoodie.

Dozens of these hair-on-fire racism stories are retold in my book,
Mugged: Racial Demagoguery from the Seventies to Obama
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1595230998/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8cam\
p=1789creative=9325creativeASIN=1595230998linkCode=as2tag=anncoulter\
-20 . In the golden age of racial demagoguery, they came at a pace of
about one a year. Al Sharpton was usually involved.

A normal person would hear some of the more outlandish allegations and
think, I can't believe it! not meaning, Wow! What a blockbuster
story! but rather, I would like to hear the facts because I literally
don't believe it. (That was much of America's reaction to the media's
claim last year that a neighborhood-watch captain in Florida had hunted
down a black teenager and shot him dead just for wearing a hoodie.)

Whenever a much-celebrated claim of racism turned out to be false --
which was almost always -- you'd just stop hearing about it. There would
never be a clippable story admitting that the media's harrumphing had
been in error: Attention, readers! That story we've been howling about
for several months turned out to be a complete fraud.

A little time would pass, and then we'd get an all-new, excited America
is still racist media campaign. Journalists are incapable of learning
that they should get all the facts before launching moral crusades.

As a result, the official record shows: A few hate crimes and some
unverified hate crimes with no clear resolution one way or another. As
long as the fraudulent hate crimes didn't get counted as strikeouts,
liberals always looked like Ted Williams.

Since they didn't keep an accurate batting average, I did it for them in
Mugged
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1595230998/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8cam\
p=1789creative=9325creativeASIN=1595230998linkCode=as2tag=anncoulter\
-20 .

The case most like George Zimmerman's is the Edmund Perry case. In 1985,
Perry, a black teenager from Harlem who had just graduated from Phillips
Exeter Academy, mugged a guy who turned out to be an undercover cop. He
got shot and a few hours later was dead.

Instead of waiting for the facts, the media rushed out with a story
about Officer Lee Van Houten being a trigger-happy, racist cop. When
that turned out to be false, The New York Times looked at its shoes. It
was the kind of story the elites wanted to be true. It should be true.
We had such high hopes for that one. Damn!

The initial news accounts stressed not only that Perry was a graduate of
Exeter on his way to Stanford, but that he was unarmed. (In all
white-on-black shootings, the media expect the white to have
RoboCop-like superpowers to detect any weapons on the perp as well as
his resume.)

A few weeks after the shooting, The New York Times called Perry a
prized symbol of hope. In a telling bit of obtuseness, The Times said
that all New Yorkers have extraordinary reasons to wish for the
innocence of the young man who was killed. I doubt very much that the
cop being accused of being a murderous racist hoped for that.

An article in The Village Voice explained: [L]ike so many other victims
in this city, Perry was just too black for his own good.

Luckily for the policeman, Perry had mugged him in a well-lit hospital
parking lot. Twenty-three witnesses backed the officer's story in
testimony to the grand jury. (Unlike Zimmerman, Van Houten's case was at
least presented to a grand jury.)

As I wrote in Mugged: God help Officer Van Houten if he had been
mugged someplace other than a hospital parking lot with plenty of
witnesses. Such as, for example, a dark pathway in The Retreat at Twin
Lakes. There weren't 23 witnesses backing Zimmerman's story, only about
a half-dozen. But, as with Van Houten, the evidence overwhelmingly
corroborated Zimmerman's story.

In Van Houten's case, even after it was blindingly clear that Perry had
mugged him, the truth was only revealed amid great sorrow. When the
facts were unknown, the cop was a racist. When it turned out Perry had
mugged the cop, it was no one's fault, but a problem of violence,
confusion and two worlds colliding.

Perhaps, someday, blacks will win the right to be treated like
volitional human beings. But not yet.

 July 17, 2013 
 Black liberals keep bemoaning the danger to their own teenage sons after the 
 not guilty verdict in George Zimmerman's murder trial. To avoid what 
 happened to Trayvon Martin, their boys need only follow this advice: Don't 
 walk up to a stranger and punch him, ground-and-pound him, MMA-style, and 
 repeatedly smash his head against the pavement. The Justice-for-Trayvon crowd 
 keeps pretending there hasn't been a trial where the evidence overwhelmingly 
 showed that Trayvon committed the first (and only) crime that night by 
 assaulting Zimmerman. Instead, the race agitators are sticking with the 
 original story peddled by the media, back when we had zero facts. To wit, 
 that Zimmerman had stalked a young black child and shot him dead just for 
 being black and wearing a hoodie. Dozens of these hair-on-fire racism stories 
 are retold in my book, Mugged: Racial Demagoguery from the Seventies to 
 Obama. In the golden age of racial demagoguery, they came at a pace of
  about one a year. Al Sharpton was usually involved. A normal person would 
 hear some of the more outlandish allegations and think, I can't believe it! 
 not meaning, Wow! What a blockbuster story! but rather, I would like to 
 hear the facts because I literally don't believe it. (That was much of 
 America's reaction to the media's claim last year that a neighborhood-watch 
 captain in Florida had hunted down a black teenager and shot him dead just 
 for wearing a hoodie.) Whenever a much-celebrated claim of racism turned out 
 to be false -- which was almost always -- you'd just stop hearing about it. 
 There would never be a clippable story admitting that the media's harrumphing 
 had been in error: Attention, readers! That story we've been howling about 
 for several months turned out to be a complete fraud.  
 A little time would pass, and then we'd get an all-new, excited America is 
 still racist media campaign. Journalists are incapable of learning that they 
 should get all the facts before launching moral crusades. As a result, the 
 official record shows: A few hate crimes and some unverified hate crimes with 
 no clear resolution one way or another. As long as the fraudulent hate crimes 
 didn't get counted as strikeouts, liberals always looked like Ted Williams. 
 Since they didn't keep an accurate batting average, I did it for them in 
 Mugged. The case most like George Zimmerman's is the Edmund Perry case. In 
 1985, Perry, a black teenager from Harlem who had just graduated from 
 Phillips Exeter Academy, mugged a guy who turned out to be an undercover cop. 
 He got shot and a few hours later was dead. Instead of waiting for the facts, 
 the media rushed out with a story about Officer Lee Van Houten being a 
 trigger-happy, racist cop. When that turned out to be false,
  The New York Times looked at its shoes. It was the kind of story the elites 
 wanted to be true. It should be true. We had such high hopes for that one. 
 Damn! The initial news accounts stressed not only that Perry was a graduate 
 of Exeter on his way to Stanford, but that he was unarmed. (In all 
 white-on-black shootings, the media expect the white to have RoboCop-like 
 superpowers to detect any weapons on the perp as well as his resume.) A few 
 weeks after the shooting, The New York Times called Perry a prized symbol of 
 hope. In a telling bit of obtuseness, The Times said that all New Yorkers 
 have extraordinary reasons to wish for the innocence of the young man who was 
 killed. I doubt very much that the cop being accused of being a murderous 
 racist hoped for that. An article in The Village Voice explained: [L]ike so 
 many other victims in this city, Perry was just too black for his own 
 good. Luckily for the policeman, Perry had mugged him in a
  well-lit hospital parking lot. Twenty-three witnesses backed the officer's 
 story in testimony to the grand jury. (Unlike Zimmerman, Van Houten's case 
 was at least presented to a grand jury.) As I wrote in Mugged: God help 
 Officer Van Houten if he had been mugged someplace other than a hospital 
 parking lot with plenty of witnesses. Such as, for example, a dark pathway 
 in The Retreat at Twin Lakes. There weren't 23 witnesses backing Zimmerman's 
 story, only about a half-dozen. But, as with Van Houten, the evidence 
 overwhelmingly corroborated Zimmerman's story. In Van Houten's case, even 
 after it was blindingly clear that Perry had mugged him, the truth was only 
 revealed amid great sorrow. When the facts were unknown, the cop was a 
 racist.

2013-07-18 Thread Richard J. Williams


Seraphita:
 Yes, Tantra is not about sex...

Real 'tantra' is all about sex. This news should come 
as no surprise. Yoga is all about sex and sexual 
symbolism. If it's not. why are all the yoga gurus
indulging in it? Go figure.

Tantra is a matter of placement and positioning. The 
main charge is that some practitioners indulge in 
sexual debauchery under the pretext of being on a 
spiritual path. 

I've even heard rumors that Yogananda has a son who
is living in Glendale, CA. LoL!

Yoga began as a sex cult in India - hatha yoga is all 
about sex as a discipline. Hath Yoga is a branch of 
Tantra which arose in India during the Gupta era and 
it's adherents sought to fuse the male and female 
aspects of the cosmos into a state of blissful pure 
consciousness. The practices and rites of Tantra are 
full of sexual symbolism and included lots of group 
sex. Tantra is all about sexual organs and very 
vigorous coitus.  

So, let's review:

There was Barry's guru Rama, who had multiple sex
affairs and then offed himself wearing a dog collar.

There was the Marshy, who reportedly murdered his 
master, stole his ring, and then slept with his own 
clerks on a deer-skin rug. 

And, don't forget the Donald at Ananda.

You probably remember the case of Richard Baker, 
who left two pair of shoes outside the door at the 
San Francisco Zen Center. LoL!

And, who can forget the drunkard Chogyam Trungpa 
and his Regent the Osel Tendzin or the Lama Kalu?

The Indian Swami Muktananda wore dark glasses and 
molested young girls while wearing an orange bed 
sheet and wool cap. 

Swami Satchidananda favored Marlboros and gave the 
invocation at Woodstock.

Then there was the Swami Rama convicted of rape, 
who claimed to be a Shankaracharya from India. 

So, an ashram, won more than $2.5 million after 
its longtime guru, Kripalu confessed to having 
screwed with sixteen students and leaders. 

And, what's up with that John Friend guy?

Try this one on for size, in between pontificating about

  July 17, 2013 
  Black liberals keep bemoaning the danger to their own teenage sons after 
  the not guilty verdict in George Zimmerman's murder trial. To avoid what 
  happened to Trayvon Martin, their boys need only follow this advice: Don't 
  walk up to a stranger and punch him, ground-and-pound him, MMA-style, and 
  repeatedly smash his head against the pavement. The Justice-for-Trayvon 
  crowd keeps pretending there hasn't been a trial where the evidence 
  overwhelmingly showed that Trayvon committed the first (and only) crime 
  that night by assaulting Zimmerman. Instead, the race agitators are 
  sticking with the original story peddled by the media, back when we had 
  zero facts. To wit, that Zimmerman had stalked a young black child and shot 
  him dead just for being black and wearing a hoodie. Dozens of these 
  hair-on-fire racism stories are retold in my book, Mugged: Racial 
  Demagoguery from the Seventies to Obama. In the golden age of racial 
  demagoguery, they came at a pace of
   about one a year. Al Sharpton was usually involved. A normal person would 
  hear some of the more outlandish allegations and think, I can't believe 
  it! not meaning, Wow! What a blockbuster story! but rather, I would 
  like to hear the facts because I literally don't believe it. (That was 
  much of America's reaction to the media's claim last year that a 
  neighborhood-watch captain in Florida had hunted down a black teenager and 
  shot him dead just for wearing a hoodie.) Whenever a much-celebrated claim 
  of racism turned out to be false -- which was almost always -- you'd just 
  stop hearing about it. There would never be a clippable story admitting 
  that the media's harrumphing had been in error: Attention, readers! That 
  story we've been howling about for several months turned out to be a 
  complete fraud. 
  A little time would pass, and then we'd get an all-new, excited America is 
  still racist media campaign. Journalists are incapable of learning that 
  they should get all the facts before launching moral crusades. As a result, 
  the official record shows: A few hate crimes and some unverified hate 
  crimes with no clear resolution one way or another. As long as the 
  fraudulent hate crimes didn't get counted as strikeouts, liberals always 
  looked like Ted Williams. Since they didn't keep an accurate batting 
  average, I did it for them in Mugged. The case most like George Zimmerman's 
  is the Edmund Perry case. In 1985, Perry, a black teenager from Harlem who 
  had just graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy, mugged a guy who turned 
  out to be an undercover cop. He got shot and a few hours later was dead. 
  Instead of waiting for the facts, the media rushed out with a story about 
  Officer Lee Van Houten being a trigger-happy, racist cop. When that turned 
  out to be false,
   The New York Times looked at its shoes. It was the kind of story the 
  elites wanted to be true. It should be true. We had such high hopes for 
  that one. Damn! The initial news accounts stressed not only that Perry was 
  a graduate of Exeter on his way to Stanford, but that he was unarmed. (In 
  all white-on-black shootings, the media expect the white to have 
  RoboCop-like superpowers to detect any weapons on the perp as well as his 
  resume.) A few weeks after the shooting, The New York Times called Perry a 
  prized symbol of hope. In a telling bit of obtuseness, The Times said that 
  all New Yorkers have extraordinary reasons to wish for the innocence of 
  the young man who was killed. I doubt very much that the cop being accused 
  of being a murderous racist hoped for that. An article in The Village Voice 
  explained: [L]ike so many other victims in this city, Perry was just too 
  black for his own good. Luckily for the policeman, Perry had mugged him in 
  a
   well-lit hospital parking lot. Twenty-three witnesses backed the officer's 
  story in testimony to the grand jury. (Unlike Zimmerman, Van Houten's case 
  was at least presented to a grand jury.) As I wrote in

 I personally think she is full of it. *Of course* our thoughts
 create our reality. Not just the positive, affirmative ones, but all of
 the thoughts.
 Most people have a non-stop mind, like yours. It is the spinning and
 looping of energy that creates most of the resonance in a non-stop mind.
 This then leads to their reality, WHETHER THAT IS THEIR INTENTION, OR
 NOT.
 The issue she is talking about is owning certain thoughts and
 intentions, and subconsciously disavowing others. But she is clueless
 enough about her inner state of mind, resulting in this ego-based
 drivel.
 More excellent evidence that you don't know yourself very well, if

 Real 'tantra' is all about sex. This news should come
 as no surprise. Yoga is all about sex and sexual
 symbolism. If it's not. why are all the yoga gurus
 indulging in it? Go figure.

 Tantra is a matter of placement and positioning. The
 main charge is that some practitioners indulge in
 sexual debauchery under the pretext of being on a
 spiritual path.

 I've even heard rumors that Yogananda has a son who
 is living in Glendale, CA. LoL!

 Yoga began as a sex cult in India - hatha yoga is all
 about sex as a discipline. Hath Yoga is a branch of
 Tantra which arose in India during the Gupta era and
 it's adherents sought to fuse the male and female
 aspects of the cosmos into a state of blissful pure
 consciousness. The practices and rites of Tantra are
 full of sexual symbolism and included lots of group
 sex. Tantra is all about sexual organs and very
 vigorous coitus.

 So, let's review:

 There was Barry's guru Rama, who had multiple sex
 affairs and then offed himself wearing a dog collar.

 There was the Marshy, who reportedly murdered his
 master, stole his ring, and then slept with his own
 clerks on a deer-skin rug.

 And, don't forget the Donald at Ananda.

 You probably remember the case of Richard Baker,
 who left two pair of shoes outside the door at the
 San Francisco Zen Center. LoL!

 And, who can forget the drunkard Chogyam Trungpa
 and his Regent the Osel Tendzin or the Lama Kalu?

 The Indian Swami Muktananda wore dark glasses and
 molested young girls while wearing an orange bed
 sheet and wool cap.

 Swami Satchidananda favored Marlboros and gave the
 invocation at Woodstock.

 Then there was the Swami Rama convicted of rape,
 who claimed to be a Shankaracharya from India.

 So, an ashram, won more than $2.5 million after
 its longtime guru, Kripalu confessed to having

Congressmen, all members of the Executive Branch, and
even influential members of the military to wear
uniforms like the ones Nascar drivers wear. 

That is, they'd all have to have patches indicating
their corporate sponsors. ALL of them. Failure to
wear the patch of a company that has contributed big
bucks to you or who has promised you a lucrative 
consulting gig after you retire from public office
would be a crime punishable by death.

we could just look at him and see at a glance all of

Tonight the bar I mistakenly thought had closed forever has reappeared,
risen from the dead. Le Café Bar Les Affiches is alive and still
pumping good wine, good beer, and good conversation. Life is good.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I take particular pride in being
a cheap date, meaning that it takes very little to put a smile on my
face and get me groovin' behind that Life is good meme. Some seem to
need so much *more* to get off and get into that happy headspace. They
have to win arguments on the Internet over mere differences of opinion
to get groovin'. They have to convince themselves that their barbed
comments and insults have gotten someone they've never met, and never
will. Seems like an awful waste of time and energy to me. Being a cheap
date is far more efficient.

This is Paris. I could be drinking my beer and writing for fun at any
number of swankier (and FAR more expensive) joints only five minutes'
walk from here. But WHY? Yeah, at the Deux Maggots you stand a remote
chance of catching a glance of Isabelle Adjani or one of the other
movie/TV stars who hang there occasionally. Move a couple of blocks
away, to the cafe underneath the building where Catherine Deneuve lives,
and you could rub shoulders with her and her crowd.

But WHY? The beers cost 2-4X as much, the tables are too squished
together, so that you're *literally* rubbing shoulders with your fellow
patrons, and THEY DON'T HAVE WIFI. Here at Les Affiches the beers are
cheap, the clientele (who tend to come back because they like the poster
art and the vibe of the owners) aren't, and they have fast and reliable
Wifi. Who could need more?

So what to write about? How 'bout the start of my day?

I had to get up somewhat early and walk over to the nearest
Préfecture de Police. Don't get your hopes up, minions...I was only
there to give a deposition about a crime that I witnessed. But it was
really COOL! I mean, how many movies have I seen in which I've seen the
fictional version of a French police station, and the cops who work
there? Too many to count, that's how many. So what is not to like about
getting to see the inside of a real one, and to sit down and get
interviewed by a real French flic?

It was fun. The guy they assigned to me looked...really...just like
Jesse Pinkman in Breaking Bad. But with one of those French I'm at
work, and thus not allowed to laugh 'tudes. I tried my best to lighten
things up, but he just wasn't going for it. I finally gave it my best
shot by calling attention to the calendar that was hanging on the wall
beside him. It was clearly a cheap giveaway calendar, supplied to this
préfecture by one of the vendors or businesses that they -- as French
police officers -- had to rely on frequently. This one said:

SPORTÈS
Transit Funéraires Rapide
24/24H

I cracked up. I mean, who needs a 24/7 funeral parlor that specializes
in *speed*, ferchrissakes? I mean, the bodies just aren't going
anywhere, and last I checked, few of would be in need of getting there
rapidly if they were.

I thought it was hilarious. Jesse Pinkman didn't even pretend to smile.
Oh well...at least *I* got to smile about it. Cheap date.

It's not that I don't understand. As a cop in Paris, you probably have
to call SPORTÈS all too often, in the dead of night, and you kinda
appreciate them being there for you, and as quickly as possible. I get
that. But still, it strikes *me* as funny, so I can laugh about it.

Earlier tonight I got to laugh along with the juggler with the goldfish
bowl on his head again, and that was cool. Cheap date. Now the juggler
has moved on, and the next act in this quartier's street theatre just
went on. They're a bunch of well-built, muscular, and shirtless black
guys who play drums and do a kind of gymnastic routine, flipping down
the street head over heels with seemingly the greatest of ease. And that
makes me smile, too. Cheap date. Life is good.




[FairfieldLife] Re: How to improve TM practice - a heretic's guide

2013-07-18 Thread emptybill

FYI –


In the Dzogchen teachings (both Buddhist and Bonpo), the pracitioner is
introduced to their own inherent self-knowing awareness (svasamvedana
jñana, rang-rig yeshe).

The first practice after that introduction is trekchöd (pronounced:
teekchö) or practice of the natural self-freeing of all experience,
whether sensory or cognitive. Once that training is somewhat stabilized,
the practitioner begins the practice of tögal. This depletes the
karma-bound field of experience as it opens and directly reveals the
celestial values of experience.

During tögal practice, one of the focal points of training is a
particular nadi called the kâti channel – a nadi that directly
connects the center of the heart to the two eyes. This is not the
sushumna channel of the spine nor is it ida/pinpala nadi-s on the right
and left of the spine. The practice reveals the projective nature of
experience, which appears as a field stationed outside of but in front
of the two physical eyes.


Not all yoga practice is based upon shaiva psycho-physiology.

 have to confess, I've had the same experience with TM. The effortless
 repetition (or favouring) of the mantra for sure elicited some
dramatic
 changes in consciousness, including (on rounding courses) experiences
of
 Richard Bucke-style cosmic consciousness. But the TM technique
always
 insisted one concentrate (if concentrate is the right word) on
 hearing the subtle sound of the syllable - with no reference given
to
 where ones vision (perhaps a better expression is inner vision)
might

 awareness to centre on the space immediately in front of my eyes
greatly
 enhances the effects of TM and makes me more centred immediately after
a
 mediation session. (I'm not actually crossed-eyed (!) during my
 sessions, but presumably the location does suggest the Ajna chakra.)
 I've heard that other spiritual groups recommend centring ones
attention
 on the Ajna chakra if you're more the thinking type - that would
 describe me - but they also recommend centring attention on the heart
 chakra if you're more the touchy-feely type. By the way, dire warnings
 are given (especially by Theosophical-influenced groups) on allowing
 one's attention to centre on the lower - the root or genital chakras -
 unless you're sexually pure as that can increase one's libido and
lead
 to sexual obsessions - or sex addiction as modern parlance has it.
 Now, only being myself your bog-standard meditator, I'm curious if
other
 (more advanced) FFL posters have experienced a similar effect to me.
 That is, combining mantra favouring with relaxed, inner visual
attention
 centred in front of the eyes has improved your results. And also I'm
 curious if those of you who took TM-sidha training, or trained as

Well my problem was that having been a TM teacher and I think you were

something Lawson made up and we know Lawson was *not* a TM teacher.  And 
I think he made it up to support his argument.  Lawson, please don't do 
that.  You're smart guy and shouldn't need to do such things.

I've always found that the different levels as MMY defined them just 
seems to confuse TM'ers and it's sort of irrelevant anyway. Once a 
meditator (regardless of the technique) notices they still are 
experiencing the transcendent coming out of meditation and carrying 
through activity then they are on the road to moksha which is how many 
other paths define it.  You can call moksha enlightenment if you want 
but the word enlightenment carries a lot of implications to westerners 
that the abstract Sanskit term moksha does not.  It's a growing state 
which was what MMY was saying and other teachers say.  In fact I would 
submit there are TM'ers who are in CC but so confused because they are 
looking for something flashier (I guess celestial visions) rather than 
just an underlying silence or that experience that you don't exist 
unless called upon to localize awareness.

The problem with carrying on research between different schools is that 
many of  the more traditional schools don't give a damn about research.  
They just make their techniques available and if it works for the 
student fine and if it doesn't feel free to move on to something else.  
And no need to validate by research.  If there is any difference between 
TM and other techniques it would be because of the lack of omkara which 
would most likely produce a different brain activation pattern than a 
technique without.  But that's only a difference and different mantras 
too should produce different patterns.

 The best idea I've heard in recent months for how to

 Congressmen, all members of the Executive Branch, and
 even influential members of the military to wear
 uniforms like the ones Nascar drivers wear.

 That is, they'd all have to have patches indicating

 wear the patch of a company that has contributed big
 bucks to you or who has promised you a lucrative
 consulting gig after you retire from public office
 would be a crime punishable by death.

 This general's spiel would sound very different if
 we could just look at him and see at a glance all of
 the defense companies (really offense companies)
 who have bought and paid for him.

 It's All About The Money. America's biggest industry
 since World War II has been supplying and creating
 wars to expend the weapons it makes so that the
 companies who build them can sell more of them.

Thom Hartmann has been talking about the corporate sponsor patches being 
worn by congress critters for years.  Of course the banksters want such 
a war because of the debt it creates.  It will keep them in business for 
centuries to come.  The only war that should be fought is the one to 
eliminate the banksters once and for all.  They are more evil than 
anything described in any religious book.

And they've been this way for years.  I finally got around to watching

interesting video about what inspired L Frank Baum to write The Wizard

As scientists show that choir practice is healthier than yoga, Sarah
Rainey – who does both – praises the power of song

*Choir singing is known to promote wellbeing. One reason for this may
be that singing demands a slower than normal respiration, which may in
turn affect heart activity. Coupling of heart rate variability (HRV) to
respiration is called Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA). This coupling
has a subjective as well as a biologically soothing effect, and it is
beneficial for cardiovascular function. RSA is seen to be more marked
during slow-paced breathing and at lower respiration rates (0.1 Hz and
below). In this study, we investigate how singing, which is a form of
guided breathing, affects HRV and RSA. The study comprises a group of
healthy 18 year olds of mixed gender. The subjects are asked to; (1) hum
a single tone and breathe whenever they need to; (2) sing a hymn with
free, unguided breathing; and (3) sing a slow mantra and breathe solely
between phrases. Heart rate (HR) is measured continuously during the
study. The study design makes it possible to compare above three levels
of song structure. In a separate case study, we examine five individuals
performing singing tasks (1–3). We collect data with more advanced
equipment, simultaneously recording HR, respiration, skin conductance
and finger temperature. We show how song structure, respiration and HR
are connected. Unison singing of regular song structures makes the
hearts of the singers accelerate and decelerate simultaneously.
Implications concerning the effect on wellbeing and health are discussed
as well as the question how this inner entrainment may affect perception
and behavior.'


The next task for researchers at the University of Gothenburg, in
Sweden, is to measure how music affects the body in biological terms,
said Dr Vickhoff.He reckons song could be used treat people with
breathing difficulties.

Fascinating article. Basically, the research cited seems
to suggest that your self is heroin, and talking about
yourself is your brain's way of shooting up. And, as we
have certainly seen here on FFL, and with certain people
in particular (think the guy who could write 4,000 words
into a post, thus rendering it *unreadable* by anyone
other than himself) it *really doesn't matter* whether 
anyone is listening to you talk about yourself or not.
You get high anyway.

 The best idea I've heard in recent months for how to
 fix America is to pass a law that requires Senators,
 Congressmen, all members of the Executive Branch, and
 even influential members of the military to wear
 uniforms like the ones Nascar drivers wear. 
 
 That is, they'd all have to have patches indicating
 their corporate sponsors. ALL of them. Failure to
 wear the patch of a company that has contributed big
 bucks to you or who has promised you a lucrative 
 consulting gig after you retire from public office
 would be a crime punishable by death.
 
 This general's spiel would sound very different if 
 we could just look at him and see at a glance all of
 the defense companies (really offense companies)
 who have bought and paid for him. 
 
 It's All About The Money. America's biggest industry
 since World War II has been supplying and creating 
 wars to expend the weapons it makes so that the 
 companies who build them can sell more of them.

 FYI –


 In the Dzogchen teachings (both Buddhist and Bonpo), the pracitioner
is
 introduced to their own inherent self-knowing awareness (svasamvedana
 jñana, rang-rig yeshe).

 The first practice after that introduction is trekchöd (pronounced:
 teekchö) or practice of the natural self-freeing of all experience,
 whether sensory or cognitive. Once that training is somewhat
stabilized,
 the practitioner begins the practice of tögal. This depletes the
 karma-bound field of experience as it opens and directly reveals the
 celestial values of experience.

 During tögal practice, one of the focal points of training is a
 particular nadi called the kâti channel – a nadi that directly
 connects the center of the heart to the two eyes. This is not the
 sushumna channel of the spine nor is it ida/pinpala nadi-s on the
right
 and left of the spine. The practice reveals the projective nature of
 experience, which appears as a field stationed outside of but in front
 of the two physical eyes.

 there? Too many to count, that's how many. So what is not to like about
 getting to see the inside of a real one, and to sit down and get
 interviewed by a real French flic?
 
 It was fun. The guy they assigned to me looked...really...just like
 Jesse Pinkman in Breaking Bad. But with one of those French I'm at
 work, and thus not allowed to laugh 'tudes. I tried my best to lighten
 things up, but he just wasn't going for it. I finally gave it my best
 shot by calling attention to the calendar that was hanging on the wall
 beside him. It was clearly a cheap giveaway calendar, supplied to this
 préfecture by one of the vendors or businesses that they -- as French
 police officers -- had to rely on frequently. This one said:
 
 SPORTÈS
 Transit Funéraires Rapide
 24/24H
 
 I cracked up. I mean, who needs a 24/7 funeral parlor that specializes
 in *speed*, ferchrissakes? I mean, the bodies just aren't going

 rapidly if they were.
 
 I thought it was hilarious. Jesse Pinkman didn't even pretend to smile.
 Oh well...at least *I* got to smile about it. Cheap date.
 
 It's not that I don't understand. As a cop in Paris, you probably have
 to call SPORTÈS all too often, in the dead of night, and you kinda

[FairfieldLife] Make believe advertising.

2013-07-18 Thread Martin A Rosenthal
My apologies. I posted a page about Ahimsa COWramels which appeared to be 
advertising.  Actually, it is advocacy for cow protection under the guise of 
selling caramels made from the milk of slaughter-free herds.  The proof is that 
I have only made two sales in three years.

In a nutshell, what I am advocating is the realization that the way we treat 
cows is a powerful indicator of how civilizations treat the environment and one 
another.  When cows, their calves, bulls, and working oxen are protected and 
live normal lives, there will be peace a prosperity.  People who come in 
contact with such herds become happy and enlightened.  Proper cow protection is 
labor intensive, so there will be no unemployment, and people who work with 
cows become happy enjoying the bounties of nature along with simple living and 
high thinking.  Grazing cows restore farmland ruined by chemical fertilizers 
and heavy farm equipment.  And so forth.  So please visit these sites to read 
more, even if you don't want to buy.  I'm not selling anymore anyway.  

For ahimsa milk to become a reality, people will have to be willing to pay two 
or three times as much, at least until we develop effective technologies to 
harness the power of oxen. such as oxen electric turning generators. But which 
is better, one glass of milk from a contented cow who sees her sons and 
daughters working happily as contributing members of society, or three glasses 
of milk from cows that have their male calves taken from them and raised for 
slaughter?

And, as the late George Harrison wrote in the Introduction to Krsna Book: All

Hey Bari2 -

moksha/mukti, from the root muc means to set free or release from
bondage and thus the English word liberation is accurate.
As you pointed out, the translation of moksha as enlightenment
is inaccurate. (See note below)*

Bari2:

In fact I would submit there are TM'ers who are in CC but so confused
because they are looking for something flashier (I guess celestial
visions) rather than just an underlying silence or that experience that
you don't exist unless called upon to localize awareness.

Not just regular TM'ers but TM teachers also – a case in point
is Susan Seagal's Collision with the Infinite.

Bari2:

If there is any difference between TM and other techniques it would be
because of the lack of omkara …

Fyi -

SSRS (whose sahaj meditation technique is the same) pointed out that all
these bija mantras coalesce into omkara at the finest level of
experience. He did, in fact, give me omkara with a mahamantra.

*Aufklärung –Clearing Up.

There is no thing as enlightenment - as that term is used here
o FFL. There has never been an enlightenment - whether
discovered, realized or attained. That includes immediate insights or
gradual understandings. There was only Aufklärung – Clearing Up.

Enlightenment? There never was and never will be such a thing - except
as the title for a cultural movement in British history. This term was
used as a title for an 18th century European cultural era, which in
English was called The Enlightenment but originally in German
was titled Zeitalter der Aufklärung - the Age of Clearing Up.

Recently the term enlightenment became a silly Neo-Hindu
neologism (i.e. post-Vvekananda) and Neo-Buddhist synonym for Japanese
Zen kensho or satori, particularly by euro-american
buddhist writers.

Any object, any state or any condition that has a beginning also has an
end – by definition. Experience, also by definition, is a
temporary appearance to a perceiver. Any experience of
enlightenment is likewise just a transient occurrence that is
judged (after the fact) to be oh-so-significant.

All this is utter make-believe. It is a false interpretation - both of
Shankara's Advaita and of Buddhist Mahamudra and Dzogchen.

that
 many of  the more traditional schools don't give a damn about
research.
 They just make their techniques available and if it works for the

 And no need to validate by research.  If there is any difference
between
 TM and other techniques it would be because of the lack of omkara
which
 would most likely produce a different brain activation pattern than a

is identical to that achieved through any other means. If it isn't, it
isn't Moksha.
  
   TM is a very reliable means to clean up the body and mind.
However, there are no precursors to enlightenment. It results when we
are somehow permanently attuned to, and living, the Grace of life. How
we get there is a mystery that reveals itself, once we are established
in  total freedom.

[FairfieldLife] Detroit Files for Bankruptcy

This is probably unavoidable given the problems that the city has had for many 
years.  On the other hand, home prices over there are probably really cheap as 
compared to the rest of the country, if anyone is willing to invest.

Hey, Ravi

I was just reading a chapter of Bhrigu Nandi Nadi book.  It states that the 
transit of Saturn on the natal placement of Venus is beneficial for the native. 
 Given that Saturn is now transiting Libra and is exalted there, this reminded 
me of your chart.

It is likely that some good things will happen to you this year in the personal 
and professional field.  IMO, there's a good possibility that your ex-wife will 
go back together with you if she's still available.  I don't have time to 
explain in astrological terms.  But let us know if this happens.  Cheers!

 Hey Bari2 -

 moksha/mukti, from the root muc means to set free or release from
 bondage and thus the English word liberation is accurate.
 As you pointed out, the translation of moksha as enlightenment
 is inaccurate. (See note below)*

Most other organizations that aren't afraid of Sanskrit will use 
moksha which like you say is usually translated as liberation. But 
liberation may not mean that much to westerners (they probably equate 
it with open sex) so applying the term enlightenment in the context of 
spiritual groups is appropriate. We probably don't need to care much 
about the academic definition by people who probably never even 
practiced yoga. It's just talkin' shop. ;-)



 Bari2:

 In fact I would submit there are TM'ers who are in CC but so confused
 because they are looking for something flashier (I guess celestial
 visions) rather than just an underlying silence or that experience that
 you don't exist unless called upon to localize awareness.

 Not just regular TM'ers but TM teachers also – a case in point
 is Susan Seagal's Collision with the Infinite.

 Bari2:

 If there is any difference between TM and other techniques it would be
 because of the lack of omkara …

 Fyi -

 SSRS (whose sahaj meditation technique is the same) pointed out that all
 these bija mantras coalesce into omkara at the finest level of
 experience. He did, in fact, give me omkara with a mahamantra.

 *Aufklärung –Clearing Up.

 There is no thing as enlightenment - as that term is used here
 o FFL. There has never been an enlightenment - whether
 discovered, realized or attained. That includes immediate insights or
 gradual understandings. There was only Aufklärung – Clearing Up.

 Enlightenment? There never was and never will be such a thing - except
 as the title for a cultural movement in British history. This term was
 used as a title for an 18th century European cultural era, which in
 English was called The Enlightenment but originally in German
 was titled Zeitalter der Aufklärung - the Age of Clearing Up.

 Recently the term enlightenment became a silly Neo-Hindu
 neologism (i.e. post-Vvekananda) and Neo-Buddhist synonym for Japanese
 Zen kensho or satori, particularly by euro-american
 buddhist writers.

 Any object, any state or any condition that has a beginning also has an
 end – by definition. Experience, also by definition, is a
 temporary appearance to a perceiver. Any experience of
 enlightenment is likewise just a transient occurrence that is
 judged (after the fact) to be oh-so-significant.

 All this is utter make-believe. It is a false interpretation - both of
 Shankara's Advaita and of Buddhist Mahamudra and Dzogchen.

 Well my problem was that having been a TM teacher and I think you were

 that.  You're smart guy and shouldn't need to do such things.

 I've always found that the different levels as MMY defined them just
 seems to confuse TM'ers and it's sort of irrelevant anyway. Once a
 meditator (regardless of the technique) notices they still are
 experiencing the transcendent coming out of meditation and carrying
 through activity then they are on the road to moksha which is how many
 other paths define it.  You can call moksha enlightenment if you
 want
 but the word enlightenment carries a lot of implications to
 westerners
 that the abstract Sanskit term moksha does not.  It's a growing
 state
 which was what MMY was saying and other teachers say.  In fact I would

 The problem with carrying on research between different schools is
 that
 many of  the more traditional schools don't give a damn about
 research.
 They just make their techniques available and if it works for the
 student fine and if it doesn't feel free to move on to something else.
 And no need to validate by research.  If there is any difference
 between
 TM and other techniques it would be because of the lack of omkara
 which
 would most likely produce a different brain activation pattern than a
 technique without.  But that's only a difference and different mantras
 too should produce different patterns.

Re Advanced Techniques are not required to learn the TM-Sidhi
Programme: trying to remember where I read about the insistence on
advanced techniques first . . .
I've heard about people - including TM teachers - who took the TM-Sidhi
programme - but weren't actually able to hop. It must really make you
feel a total failure when everyone else in your group are jumping around
and laughing and you can only report a failure to launch. Rather like
having limp dick in the sack.
Did you come across people in that situation on the courses you took? If
so, did they get a refund?!?

 1) Advanced Techniques are not required to learn the TM Sidhi
Programme.
 2) If you choose to learn Advanced Techniques you will find that they
are not at all expensive.

Well, thing is, is TM-style enlightenment the same as enlightenment defined 
by some other tradition, or not?

There are plenty of physiological states that can lead to teh same general 
description. The fact that two different states can be described the same way 
make them the same in some mystical sense, or is it merely an accident of 
language and culture that they are both considered enlightenment?

 Ok, but it is incorrect to refer to those two different expressions of the 
 physiology, as two different types of enlightenment. 
 
 Once liberation is achieved, it is exactly the same, no matter what the 
 means. The eternal freedom achieved through the practice of TM, is identical 
 to that achieved through any other means. If it isn't, it isn't Moksha.
 
 TM is a very reliable means to clean up the body and mind. However, there are 
 no precursors to enlightenment. It results when we are somehow permanently 
 attuned to, and living, the Grace of life. How we get there is a mystery that 
 reveals itself, once we are established in  total freedom.

  There's several fundamental differences in how teh nervous system behaves 
  in long-term TMers and long-term practitioners of mindfulness, and most 
  other forms of meditation.
  
  Specifically: most other forms of meditation depress the activity of the 
  parts of the brain thought to be responsible for sense of self.
  
  TM enhances those same parts of the brain.
  
  Most other forms of meditation serve to decouple various parts of the brain 
  from each other, making them less and less in-synch as time goes on.
  
  TM has exactly the opposite effect.

   I think spare means TM-style enlightenment, because Maharishi was the 
   first to symptomize the increasing maturity of the nervous system, 
   leading to greater and greater freedom. He attempted to demystify it. 
   
   So yeah, liberation is liberation, though it helps to keep the relative 
   stages in mind, to differentiate, for example, between the intermediate 
   stage of freedom, CC, and the Advanced/Intermediate stage of freedom, UC. 
   
   Maharishi always implied that CC, GC and UC are the ingredients, with BC 
   being the resulting Smoothie - lol!
   
   The t'ing is, as you know (ha-ha!), all of this makes no difference until 
   it can be directly tied with experience. Then, it makes perfect sense. 
   Though it may not be experienced as linear, it is easy to follow 
   Maharishi's progression, as he taught it, from CC to GC to UC, 
   integrating greater silence into activity, and then the Buddha on the 
   road gets offed, so to speak. 
   
   The tricky bit is, prior to these experiences, and the establishment of 
   what I will call, The Smoothie, each stage of consciousness is one more 
   thing for the ego to watch and wait for, and attempt to own.

LOL! TM-style englightenment? That's one for the books. As 
differentiated from all other moksha? Come now, the TM technique is 
nothing more than common beej aksharas long used in vedic astrology and 
ayurveda as well as probably a few obscure yoga traditions. The 
advanced 
technique has more in common with mantras given to the masses (as 
opposed to disciples of a tradition).

Also any real study might want to differentiate between long term 
meditators who never got the advanced technique and those that did. 
That 
wasn't mentioned in the study. Basically you have researches who 
probably don't know much about yoga at all: blind men describing an 
elephant.

The topic was enlightenment in general and not TM-style enlightenment 
of which there is no such thing. Enlightenment is enlightenment.
