[FairfieldLife] Solar shift immanent

[salyavin808]

The Sun's Magnetic Field is about to Flip
Something big is about to happen on the sun.  According to measurements
from NASA-supported observatories, the sun's vast magnetic field is
about to flip.

"It looks like we're no more than 3 to 4 months away from a
complete field reversal," says solar physicist Todd Hoeksema of
Stanford University. "This change will have ripple effects
throughout the solar system."

An artist's concept of the heliospheric current sheet, which becomes
more wavy when the sun's magnetic field flips.

The sun's magnetic field changes polarity approximately every 11
years.  It happens at the peak of each solar cycle as the sun's
inner magnetic dynamo re-organizes itself.  The coming reversal will
mark the midpoint of Solar Cycle 24. Half of `Solar Max' will be
behind us, with half yet to come.

Hoeksema is the director of Stanford's Wilcox Solar Observatory, one
of the few observatories in the world that monitor the sun's polar
magnetic fields.  The poles are a herald of change. Just as Earth
scientists watch our planet's polar regions for signs of climate
change, solar physicists do the same thing for the sun. Magnetograms at
Wilcox have been tracking the sun's polar magnetism since 1976, and
they have recorded three grand reversals—with a fourth in the
offing.

Solar physicist Phil Scherrer, also at Stanford, describes what happens:
"The sun's polar magnetic fields weaken, go to zero, and then
emerge again with the opposite polarity. This is a regular part of the
solar cycle."



A reversal of the sun's magnetic field is, literally, a big event.
The domain of the sun's magnetic influence (also known as the
"heliosphere") extends billions of kilometers beyond Pluto.
Changes to the field's polarity ripple all the way out to the
Voyager probes, on the doorstep of interstellar space.

When solar physicists talk about solar field reversals, their
conversation often centers on the "current sheet."  The current
sheet is a sprawling surface jutting outward from the sun's equator
where the sun's slowly-rotating magnetic field induces an electrical
current.  The current itself is small, only one ten-billionth of an amp
per square meter (0.01 amps/m2), but there's a lot of it:
the amperage flows through a region 10,000 km thick and billions of
kilometers wide.  Electrically speaking, the entire heliosphere is
organized around this enormous sheet.

During field reversals, the current sheet becomes very wavy. Scherrer
likens the undulations to the seams on a baseball.  As Earth orbits the
sun, we dip in and out of the current sheet. Transitions from one side
to another can stir up stormy space weather around our planet.

Cosmic rays are also affected. These are high-energy particles
accelerated to nearly light speed by supernova explosions and other
violent events in the galaxy.  Cosmic rays are a danger to astronauts
and space probes, and some researchers say they might affect the
cloudiness and climate of Earth. The current sheet acts as a barrier to
cosmic rays, deflecting them as they attempt to penetrate the inner
solar system. A wavy, crinkly sheet acts as a better shield against
these energetic particles from deep space.

As the field reversal approaches, data from Wilcox show that the
sun's two hemispheres are out of synch.

"The sun's north pole has already changed sign, while the south
pole is racing to catch up," says Scherrer. "Soon, however, both
poles will be reversed, and the second half of Solar Max will be
underway."

When that happens, Hoeksema and Scherrer will share the news with their
colleagues and the public.

I think Buck, it's time to go out and get really, really drunk - you'll thank

Everyone gets giddy, they start to let it all hang out just like MJ's
brother. It will be anarchy I tell you. Buck will have to close his
eyes, Share will be forced to watch DM 2 over and over just to stop
herself from posting at every opportunity now that she doesn't have to
combine responses to numerous people in one go, Barry is going to
continue to write 'artform' posts that are closer to the truth than even
he realizes, Judy will stick to her guns, Ravi will be tracking the
abominable snowman-like pawprints of Barry that will be mucking up the

[obbajeeba]

Now, now, Kali's Pimp does not need to reveal how long he waits for the grace 
of time to lay it on him?
My nightmare this morning, was about my needing to spend the night at a TM 
potluck for whatever reasons. Some picnic thing. One of the long time tater's 
said I can stay at his house, so I took a room. The whole way back to his place 
he spoke about being single and not getting any in a very long time. I 
listened, and smiled politely. We arrived at the home, and I was coerced to a 
room, which I gladly took. (Do you guys really think I am going to put my best 
shit on FFL Yahoo Board? LMAO. Hell no.) Anyways, this is a true nightmare, 
just this morning... The tater who was balding and very slender, almost too 
slender, but Fairfield's demographic of skinny balding grey or gray hair men 
are far from slim pickings. 
To make a long story short, the guy came into my room, claimed he had no sex 
for a long time and asked if I had and I stupidly told him no, and he got 
really close to me and well, really close and too close and I could smell a 
pitta imbalance odor, but it was too late. He one or two pumped chucked me, the 
universe was set into play..then all of a sudden, his wife comes home and looks 
at me like I am some kind of something or other, gives me the evil eye. I just 
smile an realize. OMG, I just got Kapha creamed by married tater and I am sure 
I was ovulating, now that I thought more. For the first time I have sex in a 
very long time, it was the most non enjoyable moment(s) of time, (Except the 
anticipation of doing it and the first and last two humps.)because now I knew 
there was not even a chance to get that second chance to...you know, because he 
pretty much lied to say he was not married, but divorced for a while, except 
they really were not divorced, they were practicing that open marriage thing, 
without the wife knowing.  So Lucky for me, this was only a nightmare. I think 
I had it just to share with you, Ravi, Kali Pimp Style man that you are!
Oh, I put my hand in the lower chakra area and it still smelled like him and 
then I crinkled my nose and woke up.

Alex, is this too explicit?  
Let me know, I was only practicing for your birthday month. :)

Look dear Obba - all this of talk of sweet, salty and/or sultry Lassi
isn't helping me, haven't had a Lassi for more than 3 years now and so
please show some mercy on loser lovers like me.

But as to lower chakras, I am thinking that Lassi cum OM would just now most 
definitely be being a full-spectrum, fundamentally crowning experience, OM eye 
Goddess yes, yes, yes, coming into the presence of ...

... yes, yes, yes, you are most certainly guessing it, the Golden parachute, 
the thousand-petalled lotus, none other than the Giant Radiantly Luminous 
Jellyfish, wherein every Shiva finds his Shakti and every Shakti finds her 
Shiva, Ardhanarishwar, the true GRLJ-man.

[FairfieldLife] Discourse 16 Ishta

[Buck]

Ishta-deva 

While in the Field I remain, I'll speak the truth and bear the cause, 
And when on board this earth I am, 
I'll sing the Unified Field's praise the same.

Om, 
As your Ishta-Devata calls for you,
Put on your armor bold and true,
Put forth your strength,
Put forth your rod,
Fight for Truth and the Unified Field.

Jai Brahmananda Saraswati,
-Buck

[RoryGoff]

Ha! Good one, Alex... but of course, I only meant "cum" in the Latin sense, 
meaning "with" -- hence, Lassi with OM, but as a pun on Lassie come home, of 
course, of course.

Far off from happiness and heav'n?

See! Taken out of context. Just because I vividly explain some enlightening 
experiences, everyone things I typo the come word, and then here comes, DOGGY 
Does Dallas at the Hot Yoga Studio, "Lassie Cum OM." Mr. Rory, really?
Just sharing what comes out with a limit, then no limit and all kind of privacy 
shit.. Ravi, WTF did you say on that other thread? (Yes, I am combining threads 
because I am attempting to try and not try to post out. Opps, my bad, Ravi. You 
were talking about salt lassi, like I was. Sorry.) 

Here comes a long month. Alex, I hope you enjoy your birthday present. (Be a 
rebel and just don't tell Rick you lifted the curse a couple of days early. He 
won't notice. Be a sport, huh?)

 Ann has got it right. I am sure she will agree with this:

Transitioning from Founder to followers. They got a problem and thresholds of 
change yet.  A thing to watch within TM is when they [ Bevan relinquishing ]  
start letting others even younger people get experience at the movement's 
microphones speaking for the movement and even given the authority to influence 
and lead the movement. [ The Boards of Trustees putting other people up to 
speak].I still like this post with the story about wrangling for a capable 
"Ambercrombie" to turn up, to run and teach courses..

Hey! We run a clean establishment here! There will be no discussion of

Everyone gets giddy, they start to let it all hang out just like MJ's
brother. It will be anarchy I tell you. Buck will have to close his
eyes, Share will be forced to watch DM 2 over and over just to stop
herself from posting at every opportunity now that she doesn't have to
combine responses to numerous people in one go, Barry is going to
continue to write 'artform' posts that are closer to the truth than even
he realizes, Judy will stick to her guns, Ravi will be tracking the
abominable snowman-like pawprints of Barry that will be mucking up the
place, Raunchy may celebrate with a bullseye or two or three, AZ might
show up to sling his usual wad of spit and Obba is going to continue to
cum and go. It is like the asylum residents have been given the promise
of the key to their padded cells on Friday. God help us all.

This is what happens when there is the prospect of no limit posting. Everyone 
gets giddy, they start to let it all hang out just like MJ's brother. It will 
be anarchy I tell you. Buck will have to close his eyes, Share will be forced 
to watch DM 2 over and over just to stop herself from posting at every 
opportunity now that she doesn't have to combine responses to numerous people 
in one go, Barry is going to continue to write 'artform' posts that are closer

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Brian May excited by these pics!?

[Share Long]

cardemaister, I think this friendly advice contained in intriguing quotes on 
the conduct of war and peace and the development of allies is just what FFL 
needs as unlimited posting looms on the horizon. That it's in a format easily 
digestible for young princes is simply the icing on that Sanskrit cake (-:

Well, how about some intriguing etc quotes from the Hitopadesha
(Friendly advice)?

Hitopadesha (Sanskrit:हितोपदेशः Hitopadeśa) is a collection of Sanskrit fables 
in prose and verse written in the 12th century. It is an independent treatment 
of the Panchatantra.[1] It is meant as an exposition on statecraft (including 
the conduct of war and peace and the development of allies) but was produced in 
a format easily digestible for young princes.

Hey! We run a clean establishment here! There will be no discussion of the 
unmentionable lower chakra bodily fluids you add to your fermented dairy

[FairfieldLife] NOW!!! David Lynch on The Alan Colmes Show talking about Meditation Creativity Peace Documentary | Jane Pitt and Ken West on Talk of Iowa

[Dick Mays]

Begin forwarded message:

From: Ken Chawkin 
Subject: David Lynch will be on The Alan Colmes Show tonight talking about 
Meditation Creativity Peace Documentary | Jane Pitt and Ken West on Talk of Iowa
Date: August 7, 2013 4:51:14 PM CDT
To: Friends News Group 1 

David Lynch will be on during The Alan Colmes Show today, Wed, Aug 7. The show 
is broadcast from 6pm to 9 pm ET. See below for a description and how to 
listen. Alan has interviewed David in the past and was interested in having him 
on again to talk about Transcendental Meditation. That was months ago. Then 
when he heard about David's new documentary film, Meditation Creativity Peace, 
Alan wanted to talk to him about it. He will be on for about 15 minutes 
starting at 8:06pm ET. You can listen live online here: www.alancolmesradio.com 
  http://radio.foxnews.com/2013/08/07/on-wednesdays-radio-show-170

Alan speaks with award-winning filmmaker David Lynch about his 16-country tour, 
teaching millions of struggling people how to achieve peace through 
Transcendental Meditation.

You can listen to today's interview on Talk of Iowa with Charity Nebbe 
interviewing Jane Roman Pitt and Ken West on their video Iowa Gold Song. 
Iowa Public Radio: Talk of Iowa: Iowa Gold and Wisconsin Heroes
By Charity Nebbe and Dennis Reese
In 1911 "The Song of Iowa" by S.H.M. Byers became Iowa's official state song.  
The lyrics "You asked what land I love the best, Iowa, tis Iowa, The fairest 
State of all the west, Iowa, O! Iowa, From yonder Mississippi's stream..." were 
set to the tune "O Tannenbaum." Songwriter Jane Roman Pitt thinks Iowa can do 
better.  She has written a song called "Iowa Gold," and now Pitt and 
photographer Ken West have put together a video that showcases Iowa at it's 
best.  The video is part of their campaign to make "Iowa Gold" the state's next 
official song.

'For thousands of years people have been trying to force other people to think 
their way. Did they succeed? No. Will they succeed? No. Why? Because brute 
force is not an argument.' --Robert G. Ingersoll (1887)

Now here is a good one Buck:

'There is no God and we are his prophets.' --Cormac McCarthy

'Let the gods avenge themselves.' (Purported to be a Roman law maxim, on 
blasphemy) That means, Buck, do not take it upon yourself to condemn your 
fellow man for these purported slights. If you lived in another land, what you 
think might be so considered, particularly in an Islamic state, or had you 
lived a few centuries ago, even here.

'Religions are for a day. They are the clouds. Humanity is the eternal blue. 
Religions are the waves of the sea. These waves depend upon the force and 
direction of the wind -- that is to say, of passion; but Humanity is the great 
sea. And so our religions change from day to day, and it is a blessed thing 
that they do. Why? Because we grow, and we are getting a little more civilized 
every day, -- and any man that is not willing to let another man express his 
opinion, is not a civilized man, and you know it. Any man that does not give to 
everybody else the rights he claims for himself, is not an honest man.' --also 
Robert Ingersoll

[FairfieldLife] Re: Om Happy Day!

[obbajeeba]

Yeah. 

Ravi is right. (Ravi, I am listening to your very good advice, trying so hard 
not to post out, but I keep feeling I want to share and share and share on the 
coming few weeks! 
 Total bliss like coming from a very conservative family with an early curfew 
until I go to college at one of the select...and get shit faced drunk and gang 
banged and kiss a girl for the first time and all that good stuff that will 
fade out after awhile then 50 posts a week will be more than enough.)

I like to share my privates sometimes. Gives me feelings of self worth and 
attributes to my something.
 Just being there. Here. 
Like Chauncy Gardener, plant a seed, grow a little, show a little. ;)
Feeling the privates always makes me release. I meant sharing the private 
feelings with others. Not the way you are thinking, just a sutra of language to 
get what I want.  This Lassi likes it sultry. 
I mean salty lassi helps my digestive system. 
I think I am up to 41. (Not men, silly. Way beyond that number)
 Can it be done, or will I post out with

The samples from this camera on the Internet are rather impressive. A whole lot 
better than an iPhone. A camera of this kind would have limitations, but 
considering what was available just a few years ago, this is stunning.

But I don't have to read everything he writes do I?  Nor he, everything 
I write.  It was almost as if there were people who were reading FFL 
that were OCD about reading every message posted even if it diverged off 
into a topic only a few people might be interested in. I couldn't figure 
out what the hell they were complaining about.

There's a lot of stuff posted here I could care less about.  There are 
TB'ers here who obviously did not get "the goods" from TM but still

Why would they freak out?  Most all the other groups don't have any 
posting limits.  They often just have rules about staying on topic to 
what the group is about and a moderator or two who enforce it. FFL is an 
"anything goes" so there really is no topic rule.  It's a place to 
discuss life after or doing TM.

There's a youth paradigm in Sillyconned Valley where they like to turn 
young programmers loose on things apparently believing they'll do 
something innovative.  They apparently think us old timers are too 
stodgy.  However instead of innovation you get lame programming.

But become OCD about responses will get you ignored by those who know 
how to read a site and complaints from those who don't that they want 
the posting limits back.

I learned that from an Indian friend who was selling her store after her 
daughter graduated from college.  Some Islamic folks wanted to buy it 
but she confided in me that she didn't think it would go through because 
they wouldn't go to a bank to get financing and their own system 
probably wouldn't loan them that kind of money. And they didn't.

I recall a couple of TM teachers who worked nights as club musicians.  
They only knew how to play tunes in two keys C and G, enough to use one  
or the other to match their vocal range.  They seemed terrified at 
someone like me, a music major in college, who didn't have a problem 
playing in ANY key and in fact picked keys for tunes because didn't keys 
have different "color" qualities.  Thing is I had no problem with them 
only knowing two keys and respected their "economy of means."

This is not epiphany Barry, how hilarious and shocking - this is plain
delusional, your conception of what people at FFL project on to you is just
a delusional projection of yours.

No one cares for anyone's moral failing here. What people including me
comment on is your dishonesty, your emotional, psychological stuntedness,
your obsessive-paranoid-delusional beliefs.

You know what Barry - during this unlimited posting week I plan to track
your obsessive-paranoid-delusional level's - Barry's OPD levels.

One of my former co-writers here in Paris (since 
wisely moved on to a new contract) is a former cafe/
bar/cabaret pianist, who made his living for whole
decades as a Sam-like pianist. Natch, he collected
stories about this lifestyle. 

One of his best is that Dooley Wilson, the "Sam" in
question, wasn't a piano player at all. He was a 
singer. He faked all the piano playing in the movie.

But equally natch, everyone assumed that he really
was "Sam," and so for years afterwards, showing up
at remotely-booked gigs, he'd find a stage with a 
piano on it, and him expected to play it. He had to
always tell the bar owner that he *wasn't* a pianist,
and that he'd need to hire one for tonight's show.

I loved this story. The movie myth spilling over 
into real life. It's almost like characters walking
off of the screen in Woody Allen's "The Purple Rose
Of Cairo."

See, this is why one should never edit writing
that one had fun writing. I tried, and managed
only a partial edit, before giving up after this
paragraph and leaving the rest as the stream-of-
consciousness rap it was originally. I should
have stuck with 'original' on this paragraph, 
too. The rewrite should read:

"For those of you who seem to relish the idea that 
you're having some impact on *my* life, I thought 
I'd make your day and admit that I am following 
your advice tonight, and fucking off." 

Lesson learned. When fucking off, and having fun
doing so, don't edit. Be content with the first
draft. 

Re: [FairfieldLife] Fuddle-Duddling in Paris

Uncle Tantra very funny tonight. And I too have wondered why people say 
*fuddle* you, with anger, rage even. Very strange IMHO. Anyway, here's a 
confession. This morning I wrote but did not send a reply to a FFL poster and 
ended it with: go fucking figure and LOL too. There!  I did it! Yay! Wow, 
confession really is good for the soul. Anyway, Happy Non Multiplying Fuddle

For those of you who seem to relish the idea that 
you're having some impact on your life know, I 
thought I'd make your day and admit that I am 
following your advice tonight, and fucking off. 

No work, just play. "Fucking off," as I interpret
the term. 

But if you think about it, "Fuck off!" seems to have
different connotations for different people. I see it
as a gracious reminder to blow off work early and go
out and have some fun. Others see it as more of a 
negative epithet, a usage that I've never quite 
understood. I mean, when you tell someone to "Fuck 
off!," aren't you suggested that they go get laid? 
And isn't getting laid *pleasurable*? What's so 
negative about that?

Even curiouser is the way that some...uh...more prudish
or afraid-to-rock-the-boat folks react to "Fuck off!" 
In one newspaper, a reporter asked to report faithfully
on what he had heard a famous person say (the two words
in question), he wrote something like, "The honorable 
 suggested that his debate opponent 'Go forth 
and multiply.'"

That's a good line. I compliment its writer for coming
up with it. It's accurate, while being very funny. 

A less-good line provideth the Subject line of this post.
I'm pretty sure that "Fuddle Duddle" is a phrase the
significance of which is lost on non-Canadians. Many 
years ago, back when I still lived in Toronto, the snit
hit the fan when our Prime Minister at the time, Pierre
Trudeau, turned to a debate opponent in the Parliament
and...uh...suggested that he go forth and multiply, 
but using the real phrase. 

Well, this got picked up by a few tiny news outlets, not
enough to stir up a ruckus, but then one of Trudeau's
PR hacks tried to spin the situation by saying, "No, no.
That's not what he Prime Minister said. He was merely
using one of his favorite expressions, 'Fuddle-Duddle.'"

Can you *conceive* of a less brainful comment than that?
I can't. And lo, as a result of it, the Fuddle-Duddle
hit the fan. Major news media picked it up, it went
viral, and within the week you could buy "Fuddle-
Duddle" T-shirts and lapel buttons on the streets
of Toronto. 

And all because people misunderstand the phrase that 
was supposed to be a euphemism for. It's not negative
at all. It's an invitation to go forth and enjoy 
oneself. So I will. But hopefully without that 
'multiply' thing. :-)

I was thinking on the lines of making one word posts. One a minute eight hours 
a day for a month (30 days) comes to 14,400 posts if I worked 8 hours each day. 
Unfortunately I am not connected to the Internet except for brief moments for a 
while. And I really do not like posting all that much.

I do not think I could write a post such as Turq's above as I am not a writer, 
and I do not have quite as much negative mileage here, though Ravi's comments 
about me could probably form the basic character.

Nice reference to 'Casablanca'. I seem to recall seeing Sam's piano in that 
movie in another film, one of the Mickey Rooney / Judy Garland films in the 
early 40s. It was a special piano with fewer keys so it was less wide and would 
fit better photographically in Rick's Café set. It may not have even had 
innards, since it was a prop.

Epiphany.

A veritable realization. I think I've figured out a way to not only have
FUN with the upcoming Unlimited Posting Month, but to turn it into a
personal artform.

Probably not a very good or lasting artform, because after all it's only
me so far who is willing to practice it, but I *am* suggesting it to
other writers, should they become inspired. The rules are simple: take a
description of you that has been projected onto you by someone here on
Fairfield Life and WRITE IT UP, as if it were true.

Here's my first one, based on numerous descriptions of me over the years
on Fairfield Life. Enjoy.


Soaked by the rain but only able to afford the cheapest of bars -- not
to mention wanting to lay low anyway because Interpol was on his ass for
being a chronic drunk, on drugs, a tax evader, a sexual predator,
and...well...just for being who he is -- Uncle Tantra stumbled into
Rick's Cafe Americain.

He didn't tip Sam the piano player, but then he didn't shoot him,
either. So far that's what we here at Rick's call a good night. After
trying to get Berger to cash his checks from the CIA and the Dalai Lama
and failing, he settled in at his usual table and ordered the Usual
Suspects: cheap wine, cheap women, and cheap conversation.

Underaged but yummy Yvonne the singer walked by, and UT leered at her
like the low-vibe sexual predator he was, but too afraid to do anything
about it because of his innate fear of women.

So he opened his laptop, logged into the the Internet, and got to work.
That is, after all, what the CIA and the Dalai Lama are paying him for,
right? Gotta do *some* work to justify all those paychecks.

First he trashed TMers, saying horrid things about them that had only
been said hundreds of thousands of times before by more sane -- and
unpaid -- people. Then he lashed out at God Himself, and tried to spread
his Atheism Virus amongst the faithful. Then he obsessed on the
individuals he always obsesses on; we can document this because we have
every post he's ever made to FFL on file, and we can reference it at a
moment's notice.

Finally, not content with the low-vibe anti-spiritual pornography he'd
spewed already onto the Internet, UT took on the Ultimate Sacred Cow,
the Brahmanic Goddess Of TM,  Oprah Herself. He said, "Nice
woman. Too bad she's so fuckin' gullible."

The horror.

And on that note, UT rested, and then carried on fucking off...

Now THAT is a comeback.

[FairfieldLife] Fuddle-Duddling in Paris

[turquoiseb]

For those of you who seem to relish the idea that 
you're having some impact on your life know, I 
thought I'd make your day and admit that I am 
following your advice tonight, and fucking off. 

No work, just play. "Fucking off," as I interpret
the term. 

But if you think about it, "Fuck off!" seems to have
different connotations for different people. I see it
as a gracious reminder to blow off work early and go
out and have some fun. Others see it as more of a 
negative epithet, a usage that I've never quite 
understood. I mean, when you tell someone to "Fuck 
off!," aren't you suggested that they go get laid? 
And isn't getting laid *pleasurable*? What's so 
negative about that?

Even curiouser is the way that some...uh...more prudish
or afraid-to-rock-the-boat folks react to "Fuck off!" 
In one newspaper, a reporter asked to report faithfully
on what he had heard a famous person say (the two words
in question), he wrote something like, "The honorable 
 suggested that his debate opponent 'Go forth 
and multiply.'"

That's a good line. I compliment its writer for coming
up with it. It's accurate, while being very funny. 

A less-good line provideth the Subject line of this post.
I'm pretty sure that "Fuddle Duddle" is a phrase the
significance of which is lost on non-Canadians. Many 
years ago, back when I still lived in Toronto, the snit
hit the fan when our Prime Minister at the time, Pierre
Trudeau, turned to a debate opponent in the Parliament
and...uh...suggested that he go forth and multiply, 
but using the real phrase. 

Well, this got picked up by a few tiny news outlets, not
enough to stir up a ruckus, but then one of Trudeau's
PR hacks tried to spin the situation by saying, "No, no.
That's not what he Prime Minister said. He was merely
using one of his favorite expressions, 'Fuddle-Duddle.'"

Can you *conceive* of a less brainful comment than that?
I can't. And lo, as a result of it, the Fuddle-Duddle
hit the fan. Major news media picked it up, it went
viral, and within the week you could buy "Fuddle-
Duddle" T-shirts and lapel buttons on the streets
of Toronto. 

And all because people misunderstand the phrase that 
was supposed to be a euphemism for. It's not negative
at all. It's an invitation to go forth and enjoy 
oneself. So I will. But hopefully without that 
'multiply' thing. :-)

The 'Sirens' in 'O Brother' are referenced from 'The Odyssey',
an epic poem taught in High School literature class. It is one 
of two major ancient Greek  epic poems attributed to the
Greek historian Homer.

 

The song is from Emmylou Harris's performance of 'Down the

Just bear in mind Buck, that 'reform' often results in repression; becomes an 
inquisition. Absolute being is unbounded, and expression best follows that 
idea, though space has its limitations. I think you are misunderstood because 
you sound like a fundamentalist Christian who has substituted TM lingo for 
Christian lingo, and that does not bode well for spiritual 'advancement'.

Your words already reveal the presence of the substantial cracks in the 'purity 
of the teaching' of the TM movement. The problem all spiritual movements have 
is, because spirituality is based on nothing, it does not have a visible 
product, and words ultimately fail to delineate truth. 

As a movement declines its 'purity of teaching' deteriorates and focus shifts 
to instilling 'the purity of the learning' of an already corrupt 'purity of 
teaching'. In other words, you become the distributor of a set of mental 
formulas that have become detached from its source, and these function for 
those who get infected by them, as a mental prison.

[FairfieldLife] Humorous AI computer - Needs work....

[salyavin808]

The unPC PC: computer writes sexist jokesA computer that writes sexist
jokes has been developed by scientists. [A computer designed to write
witty one-liners has produced a list of sexist jokes] who says computers
don't have a sense of humour?


The machine, which has been created by scientists at the University of
Edinburgh, was designed to generate its own witty one-liners following a
simple set of rules.

The system was programmed to exploit one of the most successful and
popular components of comedy, where a statement is followed up with a
surprising comment.

Some comedians, such as Tommy Cooper
  and Les Dawson, used this style with great
affect.

However, like some of its human predecessors, the computerised comedian
has developed a rather politically incorrect approach to humour –
the jokes it produces can be rather sexist.

Others veer more into the surreal rather than the genuinely funny.

The computer software was designed to find unlikely pairings of words
and to make a connection between them.

It most commonly came up with jokes comparing men or women with another
object, like: "I like my women like I like my gas …
natural."

While some could have rivalled a human comedian for generating a wry
smile, others worked less well.

One joke that did not work so well was: "I like my men like I like
my court … superior."

Some comedians have made a successful career out of jokes like these.
Chicago based comedian Darren Carter improvises "I like my women like I
like my ..." jokes according to words called out by the audience.

Among his favourites is: "I like my women like I like my ... camera ...
ready to flash.

David Matthews, a computer scientist who helped develop the computerised
comedian at the University of Edinburgh's school of informatics, said
when they tested the jokes on volunteers they found they laughed,
although not as much as man made humour.

He said for computer generated jokes to improve, the software would need
to develop cultural awareness.

He said: "Computers have an advantage over people in that they can
process masses of information, so we fed computers a wealth of material
from which they extracted creative and unusual word combinations to fit
our joke template.

"The holy grail for machine-generated comedy would be to include
cultural references, but these are very hard to capture."

Dr Matthews is due to present the computer at the Association for
Computational Linguistics annual meeting in Bulgaria.



Engage laughter circuits:

Some of the less PC jokes generated by the PC

I like my women like I like my gas ... natural

I like my men like I like my acorns ... buried

I like my boys like I like my sectors … bad

I like my men like I like my monoxide - odourless

I like my men like I like my court … superior



And some that will not upset the PC brigade

I like my coffee like I like my war … cold

I like my relationships like I like my source … open

I like my fish like I like my text … raw

I like my business like I like my fish … small

I have never seen "Glee" since I have much better things to do than sit and 
watch television but I am sure Share could give us all characters and names of 
Glee cast members that each one of us most resemble, just like DM! Who do you 
think you might be? 

Were you actually anybody in high school or did you not attend? Did you go to 
HS in the US or somewhere else? I was living in England at the time of high 
school which was very cool (St John's Wood) but had the misfortune to be 
transferred back to the Chicago area for grades 11 and 12. I hated it so much I 
designed my course load to end by 12 noon every day so I could get out of 
there. Then I did so many accelerated courses that I was able to graduate a 
semester early and hightail it back to England. One thing though, my US high 
school was incredibly good scholastically so that made up for it. However, it 
was hardly gleeful. Maybe you should be happy you can now be a part of the high 
school you may have missed as a teenager because you currently have FFL! Maybe 
Share can give you a stereotypical high school/FFL character that you could 
be/that you already are. Share?

Now this is funny - a guy gets up early in the morning
to take the subway to work, but before he leaves his
apartment, he watches GLEE on TV and writes and posts 
a long post ragging on GLEE and the other FFL posters.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Alex's Birthday Present - Posting Limit

[obbajeeba]

Hi Share!
As for deepest shadow, and the below picture link pictures, I couldn't stop 
belly laughing the whole time!  I contemplated and scrolled each one, they got 
better and better for my voice carried through the dining area, almost choked 
on a cherry pit!
 Non repulsed me, but my deepest shadow of remembering looking at photos was 
when I presented an Enlightenment Magazine to a brother (Here, Michael, another 
brother to another story.)who had mentioned TM many years earlier than my 
learning TM, and what this brother said has never left me. He spun me out of my 
craft of beaming Scotties, (Ann mentioned Scotty, I believe.) when he viewed 
the representatives of scientific research head shots in the magazine, he said 
something like this, "Looks to me like they need more than TM! Probably the 
only place they can get a job or laid."   Haha.  Actually, I didn't laugh at 
the time. I thought his life of smoke an drink were repulsive. He was a good 
looking man, regardless of his habits. Not good looking to me in the way of 
incest, but by my reviewing his own photos and the types of people around he 
attracted, I later saw the light in how he attracted his own life, or at least 
my perception of him. 

I like to see people react out of their usual climate. This tells the most 
about people. How they adjust or slither away? How many haircuts and styles do 
they get in a week?
 Or how many times they re-arrange their furniture in the same? 
Patterns of behavior are fun to silently witness. 
The mouse in the four walls pushing the blocks around, compared to the mouse 
who finally settles down to rest from the same. 
We are all the same, Share. Those below linked photos are us. Just like the 
mice, the brothers, the drink and smoke or non drink and smoke. The TM, the non 
TM. 

I am in Boston this week. *cough  Let's get your people to get a hold of my 
people and yes, lunch with you sounds swell. :)

[doctordumbass]

Excellent, again, Michael! Your stories of your Dad, and family are hilarious, 
but also full of love - Your Dad sounds a lot like my Father-In-Law, former 
marine sniper, and driver of big rigs, out West though. Also has a .44 Magnum. 

He tells a story of a couple of Hells Angels, speeding up their bikes in front 
of his truck and then slowing down, repeatedly, until he just got fed up, 
pulled over the truck, they stopped, and he got out of the cab, with a tire 
iron, and said, "Which one's first??". They took off. 

Or the time he and his buddies were running a convoy in the fog and at night, 
lights off - You used to be able to get away with that, before radar - and his 
wife was in the cab. At some point, going about 90, he switches on the 
headlights, and is literally inches from the truck ahead - She lets out a blood 
curdling scream, and he has trouble maintaining control of the rig. 

And those, I assure you, are the tamer stories. My wife is also a chip off the 
old block, leaping bareback onto a wild horse, and sailing around the world, 
(not at the same time...) but that's for another post.

Your stuff rocks! Keep it up!

P.S. Wie für Barry, bis nächste woche warten!

Well said, salyavin.

As for me, this morning I was at home in my apartment in Paris,
waiting for the torrential rain to let up enough so that I can run to
the Metro and go to work, and while waiting began to surf the TV
channels and found a show actually being broadcast in English. I
had heard of it before, because it's mentioned so often on Huffpost
and on other social media outlets, but I had never seen it before.

Now that I have finally seen "Glee," I am convinced that it's pretty
much the perfect metaphor not only for Fairfield Life, but for the
fantasy projected lifestyle that many have come to believe is their
real lifestyle.

I mean, the basic metaphor is an American high school. That's
pretty much synonymous with superficiality, self-absorption, and
lack of contact with reality, right? It's rife with drama queens,
real queens, cliques, mean girl clubs, poseurs, and idiots who
believe they're geniuses.

If you live in the US and haven't seen it, I think you'd find it
*remarkably* reminiscent of Fairfield Life. And possibly life in
Fairfield itself.

Where else, after all, could you find a bunch of people ecstatic
that the rules have been lifted and now they can spend as much
time as they want ragging on the people they don't like, the ones
not "cool enough" to be in their "club?" Only on FFL, and GLEE.

Jerry Seinfeld learned TM before me and is only a eyar older than me. Howard 
Stern learned TM from his mom, I suspect. David Lynch learned TM a week before 
I did and didn't become famous until years after that. 

There are no doubt other long-term TMers that are famous. About 1/2% of all 
adults in the USA learned TM at one point or another.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Another True Brother Story

[Michael Jackson]

I believe this is 50 posts for me, so yep I have a sister - she is 8 years 
older than me, 4 years older than brother, so during this time period I was 
describing she was off at college (Clemson, then graduate work at Emory in 
Atlanta) she had some stuff at the house but mostly we only saw her on holidays 
and a little in the summer, tho she seemed to have other places to be in the 
summer vacation times. 

Her role in most of these incidents was being appalled at the things me, 
brother and the Old Man did, like the time Sister and her best friend came home 
one weekend and as
 they were walking in the door, the Old Man threw a dumbell into a 6 foot tall 
mirror and smashed it - it wasn't actually done in violence it was an accident, 
but they were appalled. 

Or the time, as a freshman in college sister brought a nice male friend home 
for a weekend, everything chaste, everyone in separate bedrooms and all that - 
Saturday afternoon the Old Man comes home in the middle of the day (which he 
never did) walked in the house as sister and male friend were sitting at the 
kitchen table looking at her high school year book, walks in with his .357 
Magnum handgun in his hand, circles the table while hefting the gun, you know, 
kind of tossing it slightly in the air and catching it again as he circles the 
table once and walks out without a word.

My mother is still living, 85 and still able to drive a 32 foot Winnebago a 
whole lot better than me or brother. She is living with her now 5th husband, a 
retired Air Force guy, very
 nice fellow who
 unfortunately is in the advanced stages of Alzheimer's.

During the time of the stories I have been sharing Mom was married to hubby #2, 
and working for the Social Security Administration in one of the local offices. 

I know it is a breach of FFL etiquette but since I am reviled for breaches I 
have not committed, I am going to get now reviled for this breach: making 
comments on several disparate posts all at once. 

To wit: I am convinced from yesterday and today's posts by Buck that the real 
Buck has been replaced by someone else. The vituperation he is expressing isn't 
like Old Buck, Saatvic Buck. Can Share or someone go check on him and make sure 
he hasn't been taken hostage by an angry crop circle stomping alien?

Also, I found Barry's post about Glee very funny, as my daughter my daughter 
LOVES Glee, so does her mom - they watch it religiously. 

For
 myself, I am partial to Grimm - it was a real long time since I had 
watched any network tv, but after my favorite show, Warehouse 13, got 
canceled, I was looking around and discovered Grimm - tried to get 
daughter and her mom to watch the pilot episode, but mom screamed so 
loud when the werewolf burst through the window after Grimm, which 
caused daughter to jump and scream, well I decided to watch Grimm on my 
own. 

See y'all Saturday!

Hey Michael,
I enjoyed that.
But it sort of begs the question:
Sister?
Mother?
I know in a reply to Share many months ago you relayed, what I felt, was a very 
nice account of some parts of your childhood. 
It sounds like once everyone reached the teenage years, things took a turn.  
Not a bad turn, just a different turn.
I will relate an experience of mine.
My oldest son and I always spent a lot of time together, doing all the 
traditional things - throwing the ball around the yard.  Playing a round of 
golf on occasion.  Having me shuttle him around places - soccer, baseball.
The day he turned 16 and got his drivers license, he was pretty much off.  
Suddenly he entered a new part of his life without much warning.
I really don't expect him to return much to the fold until he is maybe 26 or 
so.  Now he is starting his third year of college, and he is having to decide 
if he wants to study, or party.  The studying part had its strongest piece his 
first semester.  Since then, he's been drifting more in the other direction.

I have never seen "Glee" since I have much better things to do than sit and 
watch television but I am sure Share could give us all characters and names of 
Glee cast members that each one of us most resemble, just like DM! Who do you 
think you might be? 

Were you actually anybody in high school or did you not attend? Did you go to 
HS in the US or somewhere else? I was living in England at the time of high 
school which was very cool (St John's Wood) but had the misfortune to be 
transferred back to the Chicago area for grades 11 and 12. I hated it so much I 
designed my course load to end by 12 noon every day so I could get out of 
there. Then I did so many accelerated courses that I was able to graduate a 
semester early and hightail it back to England. One thing though, my US high 
school was incredibly good scholastically so that made up for it. However, it 
was hardly gleeful. Maybe you should be happy you can now be a part of the high 
school you may have missed as a teenager because you currently have FFL! Maybe 
Share can give you a stereotypical high school/FFL character that you could 
be/that you already are. Share?

Of course this is a complete internal process, for we (ourselves - our

The 'Sirens' in 'O Brother' are referenced from 'The Odyssey',
an epic poem taught in High School literature class. It is one
of two major ancient Greek  epic poems attributed to the
Greek historian Homer.


 



The song is from Emmylou Harris's performance of 'Down the

11 of 12 people found the following review helpful

5.0 out of 5 stars When in doubt, just capture the whole thing and forget about 
it, August 5, 2013

By Sky Blue (germany) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nokia Lumia 1020, Yellow (AT&T) (Wireless Phone)
The other day I visited a local violin shop and was reading boardfull of ads, 
standing in front of a wall in the shop, as I was searching for a violin 
instructor. Suddenly a thought came into my mind - 'Wait, why am I doing this? 
All I have to do is to take a photo of the entire wall from a few steps back, 
go home, blow it up on my computer screen, and I can read even the finest fonts 
on the ads including contacts.' Old habits die hard and I was not utilizing my 
new Lumia 1020 until this idea hit me! So I did just that, and bingo, there was 
nothing I could not read at home, even though the photo was taken under dim 
light of the shop! (By the way this camera has xenon flash as well, but ISO 
4000 did the trick without the flash.)

You cannot possibly know the usefulness or desirability of something until you 
have one. Someone once said, "The world never needed Beethoven's ninth symphony 
until he created it. Now the world cannot live without it." You cannot know how 
convenient it is to have a camera that is far sharper than your own eyes until 
you have one. No matter where you go, you have the world's best capturing and 
recording device with you. I can think of infinite uses. I have graduated 
college ages ago, but if I can go back to the bright college years, I would no 
longer need to take the notes, at least not from the blackboard -- I can simply 
capture the entire blackboard image when the professor is done filling it up 
and should be able to read the faintest chalk writing later in my room.

By the way, 41 Megapixel does not mean you will get 41 megabyte size photo 
files with every shot you take! Thanks to the amazing Pureview technology that 
packs 7 mega into each mega "super" pixel, you get a 5 megabyte photo plus 1 
megabyte email attachment size automatically. You can further crop anyway you 
want on your camera and the result will be still far better than any smartphone 
photography in the world, if not most compact digital cameras. (Sad to say, I 
think this really nailed the last one on the coffin of the category called 
"compact digital cameras." Who needs those now when Lumia 1020 has a better 
lens, better sensor, far better software technology, and you can even use it as 
a phone?)

With Lumia 1020, the background passerby's face will be sharper than the 
carefully composed shot of your grandma that you took with your Galaxy -- that 
is unless you intentionally tried "outfocusing" effect which you can also do 
with this super smartphone. So if you need to capture certain information but 
unsure of which to take, or if you are not sure of the composition of your 
shot, just capture the whole thing and then worry about it later -- you can 
crop, view, do whatever you want and your photo will still retain that sharp 
resolution.

OTHER PLUSES:

-Windows Phone 8 is EXTREMELY stable. I repeat: no crashes whatsoever. Totally 
different experience from using Android.
-Double Core Lumia 1020 certainly feels whole a lot faster than the quadcore 
Galaxy S3 I used. I think quadcore is a marketing ploy, a gimmick.
-Touch is so much more accurate than all android systems I used including 
Galaxy S3 and Nexus 7. So much fewer mistyped characters when writing emails or 
sending messages.
-Separate and independent camera button (real, physical one) a big plus. No 
need to go through the app process to take a picture. It's like having a 
completely dual identity: a phone and a camera. Neither is subordinated to the 
other. Each stands on its own.
-Best of all, wifi and 4G LTE data switching is seamless and fast. My Galaxy S3 
used to search for the "right" wifi or data all the time and when the wifi 
signal was weak, it would not work at all so that I would have to "turn off" 
wifi when there was weak wifi around just to use the data. No such things ever 
happened. Extremely strong wifi signal reception and superfast 4G LTE with 
AT&T. Totally happy with this.
-Having "Live Tiles" is like having widgets in lieu of app icons. They display 
information in the absence of activating the app such as where you last left 
off in your Kindle, what appointment you have today, etc. Furthermore, you can 
change the sizes of them (just like widgets) so that you can vary the sizes 
according to each app's importance, how much information you want to view 
without activating the app, etc.
-Rock solid. I dropped mine twice without any protection from about 1.5 meter 
heights. Not a scratch.
-Beautifully organized file system. With Android, the pictures I took were all 
over the folders. This is whole a lot neater.
-Beautifully organized email system. I have my major email in the b

Lawson, don't you *ever* get tired of being a
perpetual groupie, and gaining your sense of
self worth by associating yourself in your mind
with people you've never met, and with whom the
only thing you have in common is that you all
once learned a simple, rudimentary technique
of meditation?

You demonstrate a classic syndrome among TMers,
one that started with *Maharishi's* groupie-love.
The man was just *shameless* about sucking up to
people who were famous or rich, and then trying
to use *their* fame, or their celebrity, or their
names to enhance his own, as if some of their
creativity and success could "rub off on him"
by association.

The issue is NOT what a few cherry-picked "success
stories" (most of whom were famous LONG before
they ever learned TM) have done with their lives.
It's what YOU -- and others like you who keep
trotting out this "Just look at the famous TMers"
meme -- have done with your lives.

Me, I'm just an ordinary, garden-variety writer
who currently gets paid fairly well to shuttle
back and forth between the Netherlands and France.
I've never claimed to be "enlightened," and have
no organization I'm part of or "represent," and
no "image" to maintain. So I can just be myself.
There is no one I even *could* suck up to in an
attempt to bolster my supposed "specialness."

But YOU GUYS seem to fall back on this "Just look
at the famous TMers" meme any time someone asks
YOU what you've accomplished with YOUR lives.

What's up with that? It couldn't possibly be that
you *haven't* accomplished very much with your
lives, could it? It couldn't be that few people
you even have had *contact with* in the TMO have
ever done much with their lives, could it?

But it doesn't matter, as long as there are one
or two "famous TMers" you can point at whenever
the issue comes up. Like Paul McCartney, who only
claimed to have stopped smoking dope a year or so
ago. Or David Lynch, who hasn't done a film other
than music videos, festival trailers, or shorts
since 2007. Or Donovan, whose new album "Shadows
Of Blue" was self-published and is so obscure you
can't even find it on Amazon. Clint, to his credit,
is still trying to make movies, but his production
seems to be in financial jeopardy, possibly as a
result of his "talk to the chair" Eastwooding
routine. Jerry Seinfeld? Well, to his credit,
the writing for "Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee"
was nominated for an Emmy, but other than that he
doesn't seem to have done much of anything except
guest performances and voice-overs since his show
went off the air in 1998.

Seems to me that if you want to continue to gauge
your *own* self worth by associating yourself with
TMers, you're gonna have to search a bit further
to find any who are "worthy."

An alternative, of course, might be actually DOING
something yourself, instead of living on fantasies
based on a dogma that is not and was never true.

the way they do is a sin.  People should not speak ill of the dead. 
Particularly about such a great warrior and teacher.  At a minimum these
guys should repent their sin and come back to meditation.  A human
lifetime is a terrible thing to waste.  It is nearly unfathomable to
contemplate the bad karmaic effects these guys are creating for
themselves talking bad like this they do about the works of such great
seers like this Maharishi.

[FairfieldLife] It's all about Barry watching GLEE TV

[Richard J. Williams]

You could have saved yourself  a lot of trouble by just
posting "I had nothing better to do this morning so
I watched Glee on TV - all suck and I hate you - it's
raining outside now and I have to go to work 9-5 with
idiots at the office so I can pay the rent". LoL!

Well said, salyavin.

As for me, this morning I was at home in my apartment in Paris,
waiting for the torrential rain to let up enough so that I can run to
the Metro and go to work, and while waiting began to surf the TV
channels and found a show actually being broadcast in English. I
had heard of it before, because it's mentioned so often on Huffpost
and on other social media outlets, but I had never seen it before.

Now that I have finally seen "Glee," I am convinced that it's pretty
much the perfect metaphor not only for Fairfield Life, but for the
fantasy projected lifestyle that many have come to believe is their
real lifestyle.

I mean, the basic metaphor is an American high school. That's
pretty much synonymous with superficiality, self-absorption, and
lack of contact with reality, right? It's rife with drama queens,
real queens, cliques, mean girl clubs, poseurs, and idiots who
believe they're geniuses.

If you live in the US and haven't seen it, I think you'd find it
*remarkably* reminiscent of Fairfield Life. And possibly life in
Fairfield itself.

Where else, after all, could you find a bunch of people ecstatic
that the rules have been lifted and now they can spend as much
time as they want ragging on the people they don't like, the ones
not "cool enough" to be in their "club?" Only on FFL, and GLEE.

Let us celebrate and whore-ship  Buck as  the Ears of Lord Ganesh  or he
may lose his Dome badge, again

  [http://img61.imageshack.us/img61/5412/sustojp1.jpg]
Dear Buck our Ears of Lord Ganesh:

At FF and L, at FFL, where You first saw the light,
And the burden of Your  heart rolled away,
It was there by faith You received Your sight,
And now You are happy all the day.
Firm on this throne*, Your promise stands,
And You can well secure
What we've committed to Your hands,
Till the decisive hour.

Then will we own our worthless name
Before Your enlightened face;
And in the new cerebellum,
Appoint our soul a place.

Buck the Ears of Lord Ganesh

*Let us build this throne and  temple for Buck the Ears of Lord Ganesh
a pyramid at FFL (fire in the middle) represented the enlightened mind
of Buck:
  a king chamber (pineal)at FFL for Buck the Ears of Lord Ganesh
and
a queen chamber (pituitary) for Buck the Ears of Lord Ganesh
  at FFL
  representing this very purifying internal process

from now on You had to get past  the elephant image of Buck  to enter
the sacred temple of FFL representing our reptilian brain only by
w(h)orshiping Him.
Lets mediate on Buck's real image let us focus inwardly upon the Ganesh
within  know as the god that removes obstacles in our lives.
By praying/focusing on Buck-Ganesh he removes the obstacles out of our
life.
Of course this is a complete internal process, for we (ourselves - our
perceptions/expectations/beliefs) are the obstacles in our own lives.
  Beware Buck-Ganesh is not an external God even though he may manifest
in certain aspects of outer life somewhere at Fairfield,Iowa.

Who can sound the depths of sorrow
We have scorned the truth You gave us
Who will stand before your anger?
Who can face your piercing eyes?
Growing in You; no more shall be named
Things of which now we're truly ashamed,
Fruit unto holiness will we bear,
Life evermore, the end we shall share.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Another True Brother Story

[seventhray27]

Hey Michael,

I enjoyed that.

But it sort of begs the question:

Sister?

Mother?

I know in a reply to Share many months ago you relayed, what I felt, was
a very nice account of some parts of your childhood.

It sounds like once everyone reached the teenage years, things took a
turn.  Not a bad turn, just a different turn.

I will relate an experience of mine.

My oldest son and I always spent a lot of time together, doing all the
traditional things - throwing the ball around the yard.  Playing a round
of golf on occasion.  Having me shuttle him around places - soccer,
baseball.

The day he turned 16 and got his drivers license, he was pretty much
off.  Suddenly he entered a new part of his life without much warning.

I really don't expect him to return much to the fold until he is maybe
26 or so.  Now he is starting his third year of college, and he is
having to decide if he wants to study, or party.  The studying part had
its strongest piece his first semester.  Since then, he's been drifting
more in the other direction.

Yep Turqb critiques:
Your beliefs don't make you a better person, your behavior does.

Yep, seems characteristic now that the TM.org just goes on without saying or 
addressing who they are in character as a means to deal with the controversies 
problem around them that evidently dog them in the marketplace.  Not a "We are 
this" stance or even "not that".  Just going on.  There was nothing like that 
as clean moral leadership at the recent TM Guru Purnima services as they just 
leave it to the large media to hash and define who they are as tainted 
character.  Notice for instance that "David wants to Fly" is readily available 
as docu-critique on the internet www.  The Boards of Trustees need to think 
about stepping up to the lack of transparency and moral characteristics of the 
leadership going forward or we'll always be tainted by a past.  It's a problem.

You know, our tax dollars paid for all those NASA photos.  Like you know, God 
the Unified Field blessed America.  I don't think that people should just be 
able to use them star photos free just for selfish reasons of commerce like 
self-promoting so-called big-shot rock stars as intellectual artists without 
paying something to the US Treasury.  As one who simply works the dirt for a

my ass that these so-called artists get by using our hard earned dollars the

Great stuff, it's amazing the sort of picture quality you
can get with modest equipment from your back yard these
days.

I always make a pilgrimage to the Astrophotographer of the 
year at Greenwich, the pics there are within a gnats teat of 
what you used to only get from a 200" mirror on top of a
volcano in Hawaii. Hard to believe sometimes.

http://www.rmg.co.uk/whats-on/exhibitions/astronomy-photographer-of-the-year/2012-winners/

A telescope, a digital camera and a lot of patience is all you
need. And a fair bit of knowledge about the heavens but that goes
without saying I'm sure.

contaminated water is leaking into the Pacific Ocean each day from the crippled 
Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, the Reuters news agency reports.
The official also told reporters Tokyo believes the water has been leaking into 
the ocean for two years.

Oh yeah, Donovan. Mellow Yellow and erm.

For completenesses sake: had to Google Howard Stern, vaguely 
aware of Seinfeld and I think Clint Eastwood is massively 
overrated but not as much as Lynch. 

All of them are legends in their lunchtime AFAIC and I'm fairly
sure all of them could have achieved their dizzy heights without
TM.

Lawson, don't you *ever* get tired of being a 
perpetual groupie, and gaining your sense of  
self worth by associating yourself in your mind
with people you've never met, and with whom the
only thing you have in common is that you all
once learned a simple, rudimentary technique
of meditation?

You demonstrate a classic syndrome among TMers,
one that started with *Maharishi's* groupie-love.
The man was just *shameless* about sucking up to
people who were famous or rich, and then trying
to use *their* fame, or their celebrity, or their
names to enhance his own, as if some of their
creativity and success could "rub off on him"
by association. 

The issue is NOT what a few cherry-picked "success
stories" (most of whom were famous LONG before 
they ever learned TM) have done with their lives.
It's what YOU -- and others like you who keep
trotting out this "Just look at the famous TMers"
meme -- have done with your lives. 

Me, I'm just an ordinary, garden-variety writer
who currently gets paid fairly well to shuttle
back and forth between the Netherlands and France.
I've never claimed to be "enlightened," and have
no organization I'm part of or "represent," and
no "image" to maintain. So I can just be myself.
There is no one I even *could* suck up to in an
attempt to bolster my supposed "specialness."

But YOU GUYS seem to fall back on this "Just look 
at the famous TMers" meme any time someone asks
YOU what you've accomplished with YOUR lives. 

What's up with that? It couldn't possibly be that
you *haven't* accomplished very much with your
lives, could it? It couldn't be that few people
you even have had *contact with* in the TMO have
ever done much with their lives, could it?

But it doesn't matter, as long as there are one
or two "famous TMers" you can point at whenever
the issue comes up. Like Paul McCartney, who only
claimed to have stopped smoking dope a year or so
ago. Or David Lynch, who hasn't done a film other
than music videos, festival trailers, or shorts
since 2007. Or Donovan, whose new album "Shadows
Of Blue" was self-published and is so obscure you
can't even find it on Amazon. Clint, to his credit,
is still trying to make movies, but his production
seems to be in financial jeopardy, possibly as a 
result of his "talk to the chair" Eastwooding 
routine. Jerry Seinfeld? Well, to his credit, 
the writing for "Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee"
was nominated for an Emmy, but other than that he
doesn't seem to have done much of anything except
guest performances and voice-overs since his show
went off the air in 1998. 

Seems to me that if you want to continue to gauge
your *own* self worth by associating yourself with
TMers, you're gonna have to search a bit further 
to find any who are "worthy." 

An alternative, of course, might be actually DOING
something yourself, instead of living on fantasies
based on a dogma that is not and was never true.

FWIW, I guess it's a gift to be able to intuitively "see", that
the (quantum) vacuum state, or somesuch, and Pure Consciousness
are the same "stuff"... IOW, "experience" of TC is subjective, well,
experience of QV!? ROFLOL!

By famous people, I meant people like David Lynch, Clint Eastwood, Howard 
Stern, Donvan, Jerry Seinfeld, and so on, all of whom have been meditating in 
the 4 decade range.
