He certainly seems to have made the biggest difference here on FFL. He's
got Judy "on the ropes," demonstrating how badly *she* copes with
someone stalking her the way she has stalked so many other people for so
many years. If some of the people she's driven off of the forum like
Curtis and Ruth and Sal and Vaj were still around, they'd be laughing
their asses off at how much she's squirming.

Re-incarnation into the animal (lower) form is very rare but is possible 
depending upon the gross tendencies of the individual. Evolution, as such, 
suggests progress!
  
 Every lifetime usually results in spiritual growth!, even incremental; 
therefor unless a soul is exceptionally carnal, as to be exclusively carnal,  
they may be temporarily incarnated with an animal proclivity, in an animal form 
(very rare)!

[FairfieldLife] Yoga room at O'Hare

2013-12-16 Thread Rick Archer
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, December 11, 2013   
(Today  ): Chicago's O'Hare International, one of the 
country's busiest and most stressful airports, took a decidedly Zen turn today 
  with the opening of a yoga room in Terminal 3, adjacent to 
the airport's indoor urban garden. "The yoga room provides a space for yoga 
practice as well as a place to relax or meditate," said Rosemarie Andolini, 
Chicago Department of Aviation commissioner. "This is yet another amenity to 
help make the travel experience at O'Hare 'best-in-class.'" 

O'Hare's yoga room has a sustainable bamboo wood floor, floor-to-ceiling 
mirrors along one wall, exercise mats and an area to store personal articles 
and garments. A wall-mounted video monitor plays soothing sounds and displays 
yoga exercise techniques and images of nature. And to provide privacy and let 
in natural light, there are frosted windows along one side of the room. 

"The importance of exercise and the opportunity in clearing the mind and body 
during long travel days cannot be overstated as it relates to one's health," 
said Brad Jersey, CEO and founder of nLIVEn Health, a company that brings 
sponsored, interactive health care campaigns into airports. "We know from our 
studies that 75 percent of frequent fliers participate in some workout regimen, 
so this is a perfect complement at ORD." 

The yoga room at Chicago's O'Hare airport continues a trend begun by San 
Francisco International Airport in January 2012, when it opened the world's 
first yoga room at an airport. Located in the refurbished Terminal 2. Yoga 
rooms can also be found at airports in Dallas, San Francisco and Burlington, 
Vt. 

 

   

   

   

      

  



[FairfieldLife] Are you more intelligent than Seraphita?

2013-12-16 Thread s3raphita
Only Connect is a BBC quiz show presented by dominatrix Victoria Coren 
(Mitchell) in which teams compete in a tournament of finding connections 
between seemingly unrelated clues. What distinguishes it from other quiz shows 
is that it's essentially only winnable for those for whom *lateral thinking* 
comes easy. Yes, you also need to know a great deal across a wide spectrum of 
fields but its demands on the contestants really take you into the Twilight 
Zone.

 

 It's developed a cult following. I watch it with fascination. I usually only 
get one or two answers; very rarely I get three right. (How come I don't fare 
better when I contact the field of Creative Intelligence and unbounded bliss 
every day for 20 minutes?) 
 

 So why do I bother watching the show? I think it's because I find it 
reassuring to know there are so many other people in the world that are so much 
brighter than me! Maybe they should be running the country rather than the 
self-absorbed, narrow-minded,  half-wit politicians we've been saddled with.
 

 See if you can do better than me . . . Good luck!

 There have been six flags over Texas: Spain (1519-1685; 1690-1821), France

Roland Kirk - Tenor Saxophone, Manzello, Flute, Stritch

Charlie Persip - Drums

Rahsaan Roland Kirk was a blind American jazz improvisation,
multi-instrumentalist who played tenor saxophone, flute, stritch, and many
other instruments, sometimes all at the same time. His music was intricate,
powerful jazz with a strong feel for the blues. At a live performance at
Ronnie Scott's club in London he even managed to play two instruments AFTER
he had a stroke which paralyzed his left side. Virtuoso guitarist Jimi
Hendrix "idolized" Kirk, and even hoped to collaborate with him one day.
Another great album by Kirk: Rip, Rig & Panic.

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: MMY's Shakti

2013-12-16 Thread dhamiltony2k5
RJ, I am interested in that too. The Domes and their fences.  Did Maharishi 
ever say anything particular about the hemispherical shape of the meditation 
domes that the meditating movement built? The fencing came later as an after 
thought as inquiry about Sthapatya Veda [SV] was put together and there was 
thinking about rectifying the domes as they had been built and were sitting. I 
notice the traditional Saraswati dome you posted a while ago sat atop a square 
base. 
 
 
 Any thoughts relative to the spiritual significance as to how the domes stack 
up hemispheric-ally in a squared off area, as spiritual places. Or was it more 
by accident of convenience that the Dome manufacturers just were chosen. 
Somebody knew the manufacturer otherwise? Or, at that time of needing 
meditation halls was the aesthetic of the Dome just a cultural out-shoot of our 
TM contact with Buckminister Fuller? Anybody around now who was there when the 
initial discussions were being had [1979?] and then after wards when the SV 
rectification discussions [around year 2000] were being had? Is the initial 
hemispheric shape significant as in particularly spiritually desirable? And 
then the problem of Sthapatya Veda solved with a fenced square enclosure around 
the circle foot print of the Domes. What was the historical story there? 
 
 
 I'm interested to know the sequence of how it all went for the several 
movement meditation Domes and what the thinking was as to the architectural 
bridging of inner and outer shape and form as to our transcendental expression 
that outer is an expression of inner and not just some reductionism.  
 

 The Domes are particularly great places to meditate in now for the spiritual 
field effect they do hold as Spiritual places for all the meditation that has 
been done in them. That spirituality as inner experience and inner meditation 
itself seems a long ways out from the materialism of design structures as 
super-mentality of just building designs where form may have had nothing to do 
with function as a meditation hall in our case other than a coincidence. 
Anybody here who was there in 1979 when the Golden Domes were being ordered who 
could shed light? 
 
 
 Wiki:
 The Golden Domes, also called the Maharishi Golden Domes, are twin buildings 
on the Maharishi University of Management(MUM) campus in Fairfield, Iowa built 
in 1980 and 1981. According to MUM, the Golden Domes were the first structures 
built specifically for group meditation and the practice of the TM-Sidhi 
program. In 2001 and 2005 they received additional construction including 
landscaping, perimeter fencing and new entrances.

Actually, I'm nominating Richard as FFL "Person of the Year" for 2013.  As the 
individual who has made the biggest difference to the FFL chat room.
 

 And going back, I'm nominating Share as "Person of the Year" for 2012, and 
Emily as FFL, POTY for 2011, and Ravi for 2010.  
 

 Bob Price should get a runner up for one of those years.
 

 And yes, I give Share credit for bringing out a much more interesting side of 
Richard.
 

 Ok, I'm nominating Edg for 2009.

Kama=Desire,  Rupa=form; i.e. the form of desire or the desire body! Usually 
referred to in the after death state where the unfulfilled desires are left in 
what the Catholics call 'purgatory'. This kama-rupa (as opposed to arupa or 
formless) is the suppository of all your worldly desires, if evil it takes on a 
hideous form and is attracted to hellish conditions, if good the outcome is 
happiness, even heaven or what the theosophists call Devachan.
  
 Noted often in Theosophy and Vedic literature.

Missed this earlier...
 

 You're a little confused (again), Richard. I didn't write that post (nor did I 
go looking for it; I came across it by accident). I thought it was revealing 
how Barry was being tagged as an abuser back in 1995 (and by a former TMer, now 
an anti-TMer, at that--one with whom I was at constant and serious odds).
 

 Which pretty much demolishes the notion Barry tries to promote that I've been 
"carrying a grudge." He was an abuser then, and he's an abuser now. It's not 
carrying a grudge to have a negative opinion of someone who's been abusing you 
for 18 years.
 

 You know what else is funny? I responded to that anti-Barry post by defending 
him. Stockholm syndrome? Nope. Some of the things his critic said were unfair, 
and I'm big on fairness as well as honesty.
 
Richard trolls and lies:

 << It looks Barry was right about one thing- this gal will hold a grudge for 
decades and then go back and bring it up again and again. Judy is just like a 
broken record, repeating herself over and over. It's childish in my opinion. >>

 And my objection to shoki [Barry's handle at the time] is that he's
 drifted from one abusive cult to another throughout his adult life without
 a clue: first TM, then little Freddie Lenz/Rama, who knows what else -- 
 all the while practicing the verbal abuse he learned within them on
 former cult members, critics, journalists, anyone with whom he disagrees.
 

 Ari is clearly courageous enough to share extremely personal details of
 her life with the public at large -- in the apparent hope that people can
 draw their own conclusions from it. Ari, I admire your consistent courage
 and insight.
 

 Barry Wright (shoki) is apparently cowardly enough to abuse her
 vulnerability. Barry, I cordially despise your verbal violence. (BTW,
 Wright's public posts are only a fraction of his output. Many of us, in
 comparing notes, receive abusive personal email from him as well.)
 

 For those reading who wonder what it's like to be inside a cult, I can say
 from personal experience that it's very much like a conversation with
 Barry Wright: abusive, condenscending, elitist, without respect for
 personal boundaries or feelings. The only real difference is that, in the
 depths of a cult, this invasive abuse goes on day after day, 24 hours a
 day.
 

 Fortunately, now being free, we ex-cult members can now choose not to read
 Wright's vile posts.

Miles Davis is one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century.
Sketches of Spain is an exemplary recording of Third Stream, a musical
fusion of jazz, European classical, and world music. The album pairs Davis
with arranger and composer Gil Evans, with whom he had collaborated on
several other projects, on a program of compositions largely derived from
the Spanish folk tradition.

According to Crease, the album is a "quasi-symphonic, quasi-jazz world of
sound." Chambers says that the album was not well received, but it went on
to win for Davis a Grammy Award for Best Original Jazz Composition in 1961.
Ranked number 358 on Rolling Stone's list of the "500 greatest albums of

Re: [FairfieldLife] MMY's Shakti

2013-12-16 Thread Bhairitu
How do you resolve that the Shankaracharya Tradition is Shaivite and the 
TM teaching is Shakta (goddess)?


On 12/15/2013 04:11 PM, Richard Williams wrote:
This short study is the report of a Westerner who has practiced yoga 
under a teachers from India and Tibet and Japan. The primary purpose 
of my investigation was to test by personal experience the techniques 
of Tantra Yoga. So, after getting an initiation with the requisite 
mantra and instruction on their use, I went to various yoga camps with 
the aim of testing the techniques and to follow a course of 
traditional training, taking notes and making critical observations in 
order to appraise the results in the light of my own personal discovery.


I was one of the first in the U.S. to  be initiated into Tantra Yoga. 
In order to further my studies, I have delved deeply into the subject 
of meditation that is transcendental for over forty years, I still 
find nothing to match the work done by MMY. In my continued research I 
have found that almost all the writings fail to mention where the TM 
mantras came from.


In fact, according to my research, all the MMY mantras come from the 
Sri Vidya tradition which is in turn based on the "Shat Chakra 
Nirupana," which elaborates on the seven chakras corresponding to the 
seven states of consciousness in the subtle body. You will find 
illustrations of the chakras along with the vertical axis of the spine 
and the various petals that emanate from each chakra, and the diagram 
of the Sri Yantra mandala.


Inline image 1

There are numerous commentaries explaining the esoteric meaning of the 
Sri Yantra and the mode of worship, such as the commentary by 
Lakshmidhara on Sound Arya Lahari and on the Ananda Lahari, both 
composed by the Adi Shankara. There is a chapter in the Tripura 
Upanishad and one in the Bhavano Upanishad and the  importance of the 
importance given to the worship of Sri Yantra.


Worship of the Sri Yantra is as interesting as it is complex: it is 
ritualistic, abstract and esoteric, and yet the Sri Yantra is one of 
the most meaningful and useful symbols that has been handed down to us 
from the Adi Shankaracharya: The essence of the vibration is the 
ecstatic self-recurrent consciousness. Impelled by universal welfare, 
the Adi Shankara gave great importance to Sakti worship. And to this 
end, the Adi Shankara installed a Sri Yantra in at places of Sakti 
worship.


The very quintessence of the Sri Vidya is a chapter which deals with 
the fundamentals of the ancient mystic syllables that constitute Devi 
worship and the relevance of simple worship of Sri Saraswati - Lalita 
 - Tripurasundari and the place where the Sri Yantra is installed. 
There is also the life story of Bhaskararaya which shows how effective 
are the mystic diagram and the mantras used in the meditation on Devi 
Shakti.


The most complex yantra, like the Oregon yantra, is the Shri Yantra of 
the tantric school of Sri Vidya. Khanna says that the structure of 
this yantra is described in the Shankara's Saundaryalahari (Wave of 
Beauty). "Mantras, the Sanskrit syllables inscribed on yantras, are 
essentially 'thought forms' representing divinities or cosmic powers, 
which exert their influence by means of sound-vibrations."

assent – or, at least,acquiescence. This procedure relies on a member in a 
minority fearing that raising an objection will expose it to the charge of 
obstructiveness and, thereby, the perils of isolation. Silence procedure is

Friends; Check your old internal software with its bits and old fragmented 
love, tough broken bits of love fragmented in it. Time now for a defrag of the 
old testaments. A new download of love is available, an update of love, as a 
newer testament borne even of modern science in our experience. A lot more 
meditation is being called for as mediation in the world now. We know so much 
more. A new download is happening even now. The new download is freely 
available like receiving a free grace. You just have to ask for it. It is time 
to come to meditation. It is timely for a new love of regeneration. All we are 
saying is, Give Peace a Chance. Take the time to make the time to join in 
groups meditating to mediate peace in the world everywhere. Science says, Come 
to Meditation.

Updating love, the descent of old Christmas love can't come fast enough to that

I am feeling Bush II was quite right in his way, we got the vibration of an 
axis of evil going there. Very un-spiritual in excitation. Not much love at 
all. This is coming a time where people now who know better should come back to 
meditation around this.

arming to threaten the peace of the world. By seeking weapons of mass

could attack our allies or attempt to blackmail the United States. In any of

wi-fi connexion? So you use the phone company's regular signal? If so, 
doesn't that cost per minute?




I have data on my T-Mobile account which costs $30 a month total.  I 
don't talk much via the phone so most use is the data which is up to 5 
GB a month.   I start out from my house using my wifi and a house or two 
up it switches to using 4G data from T-Mobile.  I also sometimes use a 
small FM transmitter to broadcast the smartphone signal to the car radio.




Over here when they dropped the analogue signal for TV transmissions 
and we all went digital it meant my hand-held mini-TV receiver went in 
the garbage can and there was no equivalent portable digital TV to 
replace it.




Analog was dropped in 2009 in the US.  It was supposed to happen in 2006 
but the Bush administration was slow to get the free converter program 
in place so it needed to be delayed.  There was a plan for hand-held 
digital TVs with a lower resolution sub carrier but it seems to have 
gone away since everyone watches on their phones anymore.

It looks Barry was right about one thing- this gal will hold a grudge 
for decades and then go back and bring it up again and again. Judy is 
just like a broken record, repeating herself over and over. It's 
childish in my opinion.


On 12/16/2013 2:33 PM, authfri...@yahoo.com wrote:


Say, Barry, remember this from alt.m.t from 1995? I followed a link in

one of Richard's old posts here just out of curiosity, and stumbled

across this as well. Want to guess who it was from?


And my objection to shoki [Barry's handle at the time] is that he's

drifted from one abusive cult to another throughout his adult life without

a clue: first TM, then little Freddie Lenz/Rama, who knows what else --

all the while practicing the verbal abuse he learned within them on

former cult members, critics, journalists, anyone with whom he disagrees.

Ari is clearly courageous enough to share extremely personal details of
her life with the public at large -- in the apparent hope that people can
draw their own conclusions from it. Ari, I admire your consistent courage
and insight.

Barry Wright (shoki) is apparently cowardly enough to abuse her
vulnerability. Barry, I cordially despise your verbal violence. (BTW,
Wright's public posts are only a fraction of his output. Many of us, in
comparing notes, receive abusive personal email from him as well.)

For those reading who wonder what it's like to be inside a cult, I can say
from personal experience that it's very much like a conversation with
Barry Wright: abusive, condenscending, elitist, without respect for
personal boundaries or feelings. The only real difference is that, in the
depths of a cult, this invasive abuse goes on day after day, 24 hours a
day.

Fortunately, now being free, we ex-cult members can now choose not to read
Wright's vile posts.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose...

2013-12-16 Thread Richard J. Williams
You dumb shit - "willytex" is my email address. I told you on numerous 
occasions my name was Richard, and yet you persisted in calling me 
"willytex" just so you could demean me. You made it look like you didn't 
like people from Texas. That was an insult. I told you not to do that 
but you would not listen to me when I complained. That was a low-down 
and childish trick just so you could get people to think that I was not 
a person. If I objected to being called "willytex" -  you should have 
stopped, but you did not. That was wrong of you.


This is not about Barry.

And, I posted in one of my very first posts back in 1999 that I was 
living in Texas. And, I never said I was of Hispanic heritage - in fact, 
I'm part Native American, adopted by the Williams family. You should 
apologize to the entire group or leave. That's what I think.

More Richard bullshit. You used "willytex" as your handle for a long 
time. Then you used a lot of other silly handles (in many cases 
concurrently) based on the word "pundit" (which you've used here as 
well). Those obviously didn't fit you. Once you've used a handle that 
sticks, you need to resign yourself to people using it. In any event, 
you appeared to object to "willytex" just for the sake of having 
something to object to in my posts.



Barry called you "willytex" as late as mid-November (referring to you 
as an "attention troll," BTW), and you didn't complain. Share has 
called you willytex, so have plenty of others. You referred to 
/yourself/ as willytex in October 2012.



Nope, sorry, not a valid complaint.


(And FWIW, it didn't occur to me back then that it had anything to do 
with "Texas." Didn't register with me that you /were/ from Texas for a 
long time.)



Oh, plus which, you've posted your photo here and are possibly the 
least Hispanic-looking person I've ever seen, so you can't use that to 
cry racism either. Not to mention that your last name is "Williams."



Nope nope nope, just more trolling. As I pointed out to Barry, it's 
getting dumber and dumber.



Richard trolled:


<< For the record, Judy called me "willytex" for years after I told 
her my name was Richard. In my opinion Judy was making fun of Texans. 
And, for the record, where I live, Hispanics make up 63% of the 
general population. And, also for the record, Judy did not post an 
objection when Ann posted numerous messages denigrating people that 
live in Texas. Where I come from, silence usually indicates agreement. 
We do not take kindly to racial profiling. It was wrong of Judy and 
Ann to do this in a fair debate. That's what I think. >>

FWIW, I have no objection to his "knowledge posts" or the "100 great" 
posts. The "What I did today"-type posts are fine if what he did 
today was something interesting, but usually it isn't (same with your 
responses to them, IMHO). Those types of posts from him are actually 
trolls; he's aiming to get people to complain about how boring they 
are so he can make a big fuss about the complaints.

FYI, for a TM link to this, Brubeck's first group had Bill Smith on 
clarinet.  Bill joined the staff at the University of Washingtion when I 
went there. I played on some avant garde projects he did.  A few years 
later he showed up at TM residence course with Paul Horn that I attended.

Dave Brubeck - Take Five ( Original Video)
http://youtu.be/PHdU5sHigYQ

"Take Five" is a jazz piece composed by Paul Desmond and performed by 
The Dave Brubeck Quartet on their 1959 album Time Out. It is the 
best-selling jazz single of all time.


It was first played by the Quartet to a live audience at the Village 
Gate nightclub in New York City in 1959. On the album Time Out, 
Brubeck used a different time signature for each track, which was very 
unusual. "Take Five" written in a 5/4 meter and it was one of the 
first Jazz songs with a time signature other than the standard 4/4 
beat or 3/4 waltz time. It ended up being one of the extremely rare 
Jazz compositions to become a pop hit.

2013-12-16 Thread authfriend
Say, Barry, remember this from alt.m.t from 1995? I followed a link in
 one of Richard's old posts here just out of curiosity, and stumbled
 across this as well. Want to guess who it was from?
 

 And my objection to shoki [Barry's handle at the time] is that he's
 drifted from one abusive cult to another throughout his adult life without
 a clue: first TM, then little Freddie Lenz/Rama, who knows what else -- 
 all the while practicing the verbal abuse he learned within them on
 former cult members, critics, journalists, anyone with whom he disagrees.
 Ari is clearly courageous enough to share extremely personal details of
her life with the public at large -- in the apparent hope that people can
draw their own conclusions from it. Ari, I admire your consistent courage
and insight.
 Barry Wright (shoki) is apparently cowardly enough to abuse her
vulnerability. Barry, I cordially despise your verbal violence. (BTW,
Wright's public posts are only a fraction of his output. Many of us, in
comparing notes, receive abusive personal email from him as well.)
 For those reading who wonder what it's like to be inside a cult, I can say
from personal experience that it's very much like a conversation with
Barry Wright: abusive, condenscending, elitist, without respect for
personal boundaries or feelings. The only real difference is that, in the
depths of a cult, this invasive abuse goes on day after day, 24 hours a
day.
 Fortunately, now being free, we ex-cult members can now choose not to read
Wright's vile posts.
 Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose...

<< It's typical Judy-speak. She's been doing this for years. She did

She will latch on to some minor point of contention and just obsess on

about. Then she will clam up and refuse to engage in any meaningful 
dialog.


Why is it so difficult for her to post her reasons for the dislike? Is 
it my face, or where I live, or my political point of view? She 
obviously has a way with words and is intelligent. I can understand 
the shunning from Barry, but at least he's not trying to ankle-bite me 
when I pass by every day. And, it is kind of funny to watch Barry push 
her buttons, you've got to admit. LoL!


Then, she will incessantly post slanderous remarks in an attempt to 
sway others to join her in a shunning. She even gets others to join 
in, Bill is a case in point. Why in the world would Bill call me a 
troll for trying to engage him in a spiritual conversation? It just 
doesn't make any sense.


You won't find very many dialogs between me and Judy if you do a 
search - it's been at least ten years since I had a conversation with 
her about anything. But, you can find hundreds, if not thousands of 
remarks she has posted calling me a liar and a troll.


Which apparently prompted you to ask: What is she talking about like 
that with Richard? Nobody really knows anymore, or cares, but it's my 
thread so maybe I will continue this and post my opinions of Judy for 
a few years.


But, it is really taking away from my time composing messages about 
spiritual paths, music, and what I've been doing. What is really sad 
though, is that her constant ankle-biting is causing other respondents 
to quit this group and go elsewhere, and maybe that's her goal. In the 
case of me and Barry, it just didn't work and that really seems to 
upset her.


She's like a schoolyard bully that won't stop until she is expelled

bullying those poor kids. She followed me over here from Google Groups 
and has been harassing me for at least ten years here. Go figure. >>

My objections to the negative comments of MJ have nothing to do with the 
fact that he was born in North Carolina, or that Judy lives in New 
Jersey, or that you live up in Canada. This is just misdirection on your 
part. I do not feel bad about where I live - it's just that it is not 
fair to slander people in a fair debate. It is considered to be very bad 
form, that's all, and you should in future refrain from this kind of 
reference at my expense. That's all I'm saying - it's not fair.


This is supposed to be a spiritual forum, not a place to make fun of 
people based on their birth circumstances.


In fact, there are numerous races of people that live in and call Texas 
home: Caucasians, African Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans. 
When you group people together for the purpose of denigration, it is wrong.


There are also many people of German, French, and other cultures - that 
why they call it "Six Flags over Texas". In addition, there are many 
Cajuns and Creoles that live here as well. Not everyone wears 10 gallon 
hats and go to square dances.


There have been six flags over Texas: Spain (1519-1685; 1690-1821), 
France (1685-1690), Mexico (1821-1836), the Republic of Texas 
(1836-1845), the Confederate States of America (1861-1865), and the 
United States (1845-1861; 1865-present).


There are no Hardee's establishments in Texas, so far as I can tell.

Dear Ricky, I am very sorry if I inadvertently, or in some way which 
is damaging to your mind or psyche, said something about you being

admit that it is my own inability to appreciate those who wear 10

be checked at the door and and whose idea of fine dining is to visit 
their local strip mall to eat at Hardees.


There, I hope this has made it up to you and I will attempt to watch

More Richard bullshit. You used "willytex" as your handle for a long time. Then 
you used a lot of other silly handles (in many cases concurrently) based on the 
word "pundit" (which you've used here as well). Those obviously didn't fit you. 
Once you've used a handle that sticks, you need to resign yourself to people 
using it. In any event, you appeared to object to "willytex" just for the sake 
of having something to object to in my posts.
 

 Barry called you "willytex" as late as mid-November (referring to you as an 
"attention troll," BTW), and you didn't complain. Share has called you 
willytex, so have plenty of others. You referred to yourself as willytex in 
October 2012.
 

 Nope, sorry, not a valid complaint.
 

 (And FWIW, it didn't occur to me back then that it had anything to do with 
"Texas." Didn't register with me that you were from Texas for a long time.)
 

 Oh, plus which, you've posted your photo here and are possibly the least 
Hispanic-looking person I've ever seen, so you can't use that to cry racism 
either. Not to mention that your last name is "Williams."

For the record, there are only two respondents on this list that attend 
regular meditation sessions in the dome. There is one respondent that 
has never tried TM. At least three of the current respondents on this 
list do not meditate at all, and two are self-proclaimed atheists. There 
are no Buddhists on this list, as far as I can tell. There is only one 
person on this list that is from Texas - the one you post derogatory 
references to in an attempt to smear. That's what I think.


If I am mistaken, please let me know. If there are any others that 
consider themselves to be on a spiritual path, please post your path 
here, so we can discuss it. Thanks.

Dear Buck. This forum is a beautiful example of all the spirituality 
the average human being on this planet can muster - and these are 
people who have meditated or are still meditating and pursuing what 
they like to think of as a spiritual and informed life. You need to 
understand this and accept it. Although I don't consider myself a 
pessimist I do understand human nature for what it can be in its 
finest and its lowest moments. TM, Buddhism or attending the Dome 
regularly doesn't appear to allow most people here to transcend the 
petty squabbles and deep differences that characterize the rest of the

Dave Brubeck - Take Five ( Original Video)

"Take Five" is a jazz piece composed by Paul Desmond and performed by The
Dave Brubeck Quartet on their 1959 album Time Out. It is the best-selling
jazz single of all time.

It was first played by the Quartet to a live audience at the Village Gate
nightclub in New York City in 1959. On the album Time Out, Brubeck used a
different time signature for each track, which was very unusual. "Take
Five" written in a 5/4 meter and it was one of the first Jazz songs with a
time signature other than the standard 4/4 beat or 3/4 waltz time. It ended
up being one of the extremely rare Jazz compositions to become a pop hit.

Re: [FairfieldLife] State censorship of radio

2013-12-16 Thread Bhairitu
In the US broadcasters thought that HD Radio was going to be the cat's 
meow.  However receivers are expensive and until one can pick one for 
$10 it's not going anywhere.  Radio engineers I know hate HD Radio.  
It's basically digital signals so that each station can have additional 
"channels" but the quality isn't that good.


AM radio in the US is on it's death bed.  Big corporations like Clear 
Channel and Cumulus bought up a lot of stations and are losing money on 
them.  People listen to Internet streams instead. On my walks I listen 
to streams on my smart phone rather than AM or even FM radio.  We're 
having a strange mixup after the first of the year in the SF Bay Area.  
Rush and Hannity the right wing talkers are moving from a higher power 
station to a lower power that is currently hosting mostly liberal talk.  
Don't know if all the liberal talkers on the former Green960 are moving 
to the other more powerful station (but not by much).


Personally I love all the big corporations losing their asses on their 
radio and TV stations.  Couldn't happen to a better bunch.

Especially when maybe 60 cents a month worth of kitchen cabinet herbs 
might solve the problem.  My sister has "fibromyalgia".  The ayurvedic 
treatment is for both pitta and vata.  But trying  to get her to try 
anything other than drugs these days is useless.


Because Hulu+ still has ads in some of their streams of TV shows there 
is the one drug spot that lasts 60 seconds and the first 15 is about the 
drug then 30-40 seconds of side effect warnings.  Who the hell would 
want to take that drug?

Now that I'm back in the business of researching, writing, and editing
articles and papers related to health and medicine for a while, here's a
rant just for the pleasure of ranting, and to warn people of what Big
Pharma is really like.

I spoke the other day to a family member who has been suffering for a
while from a form of fibromyalgia that kept him in constant pain. After
trying many medications, he was finally prescribed one called Lyrica. It
seemed to help. But it had nasty side effects, so after a few months he
tried to reduce the dosage so that he could stop taking it altogether.
Voila -- much *worse* side effects.

So he belatedly looked it up, and found innumerable "support groups" for
people who had been prescribed this drug *without having been told
beforehand 1) that it was addictive, and 2) that there is no known way
to safely wean oneself from the drug once one has become addicted*.

At this point, over 9 million people have been prescribed this drug, and
thus become addicts.

Now, do you want the kicker? It's expensive. A year's supply would cost
over $6,000. But to make things "easier" for those poor people needing
relief from their pain, the manufacturer of Lyrica offers a "special
deal." Working in conjunction with health insurers and doctors (all of
whom get a cash kickback for every dose prescribed), they have a program
whereby people who have been newly prescribed this drug can be
reimbursed all but $25 of the cost.

For the first year. Then, of course, they're stuck (seemingly, at this
point, for the rest of their lives) coughing up $6,000 per year to
reduce their pain but experience side effects that include (according to
the manufacturer's own website) dizziness, sleepiness, seizures, dry
mouth, swelling of the hands and feet, blurred vision, weight gain,
trouble concentrating, feeling "high," and risking
life-threatening allergic reactions. Side effects caused by trying to
stop taking the medicine include headaches, nausea, diarrhea, trouble
sleeping, and again, seizures.

And the manufacturer of this drug is benevolently offering it to new
users for 240X less than it would normally cost. Their whole marketing
plan is quite *literally* that of schoolyard drug pushers: "Try it...the
first one's free."

Now think about the income that its manufacturer Pfizer is deriving from
a medication that costs them a few cents to manufacture -- $6,000 per
person X 9,000,000 addicts = 54 billion dollars per year.

Be warned, if any doctor ever tries to prescribe it for you.

Take a minute or maybe two and really look at what you are putting out here. 
Just because you don't have a janitorial job to lose anymore doesn't give you 
free licence to act and post like a stupendous dick.

Re: [FairfieldLife] The Richard Enigma

I've never lied about you, Share, and you know it. But you have told falsehoods 
about me, about Ann, about Emily, about Raunchy, about others--even about 
yourself. You know that too. And I've documented many of the falsehoods.
 
Share lied:

 << Judy, I know how you have lied about me. Therefore I don't believe it when 
you say someone else has lied. >>
 

 Despite the evidence. Not surprising you would say this when you yourself have 
refused to admit your own documented falsehoods.
 

 << This will not change. >>
 

 No, I don't imagine it will. You're incapable of functioning any other way 
than by denying reality.
 

 << Also, I don't find Richard to be a troll. >>
 

 Even Barry acknowledges Richard's trolling. He's been known as a troll since 
way back on alt.m.t. As they say, Richard's picture illustrates the 
encyclopedia entry on trolling. IOW, he's the very image of a troll; his 
behavior defines trolling.

Dear Share, remember, *you* attacked Ann in one of the most mean-spirited ways 
there is, and then never bothered to apologize and in fact, called her 
"vicious."  Why don't you ask yourself..."what can I do to bring peace and 
alleviate suffering that I have caused?"  
 

---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,  wrote:

 Ann, it's true you no longer engage with me. But you do continue to make very 
negative remarks about me, focusing on mistakes I've made and at the same time 
denigrating or ignoring what has been positive about my participation here. In 
contrast, I liked it when Richard said that you and Emily and Judy are probably 
nice people in person. To me, his attitude seems reasonable and balanced and 
compassionate.
