[FairfieldLife] Santa 2014: double parkour, hold the reindeer

[TurquoiseB]

One thing I'll miss about Paris is wandering through the banlieus and
watching kids doing parkour   ,
the French-invented style of street stunts that requires no sporting
equipment except buildings and balls. Reindeer are so passé...this is
how Saint Nick makes his rounds these days.

Re "S3, I remember this album really well":

 

 First time I heard this was a Christmas Eve when a group of us dropped acid 
and put the album on the turntable. A perfect combination.  
 I've always wondered about "acid rock": did those who never partook of LSD 
really *get* the music they were listening to? 
 On the other hand, Roger Waters of Pink Floyd mentioned in a recent interview 
that he only ever took LSD twice - but found it too weird! David Gilmour said 
he took it "a few times". Bit sad really. You want rock gods to live their 
lives to excess. Of course Syd Barrett more than made up for his band mates' 
sobriety!

In addition to Jefferson Airplane's Grace Slick, I also cited Heart with
Ann and Nancy Wilson in this thread. Previously, I cited Suzi Quatro in my
thread entitled "For all you romantics out there". So, I'm posting this
Suzi Quatro session from 1973. "Suzi is the first female bass player to
become a major rock star. This broke a barrier to women's participation in
rock music."

There is no better source on the planet (or in English) than the text 
*/Symbolism of the Stupa/*, written by */Adrian Snodgrass/*, an 
Australian architect and now a professor. 


We  are in perfect agreement on the value of Snodgrass on the origins of 
the Buddhist stupa. The Snodgrass book is the best source of information 
concerning this type of edifice architecture. I can highly recommend 
reading it. This book is probably the best book on sacred geometry 
currently available. My copy was obtained from a bookseller in India 
years ago,  complete with the cheap paper and the typewriter typeface, 
and I still have it in my library,. This book is now available in a new 
edition at Amazon.


My teacher, the late Lama Anagorika Govinda, has also written an 
interesting book on the symbolism of the Buddhist stupa: He wrote: 
"There can be no doubt about the symbolical inter-relationship between 
the Mahayana-Buddha Amitabha, the Buddha of infinite light, and Vishnu, 
the Sun-god.


Both of them are supposed to incarnate their love and compassion in the 
form of helpers and teachers of humanity as Bodhisattvas and avatars. 
Both of them have the Wheel of the Law as their attribute. Other common 
attributes are the tree of enlightenment and the caitya. Thus the solar 
symbolism of the world tree came again into prominence, while the 
hemisphere of the stupa became the element of vertical spiritual 
development."


Kathleen Cox, a recent visitor to the Badrinath shrine says: "The 
Badrinath shrine is a famous vastu-designed temple that has been 
renovated through the centuries. Certain beliefs consider this image to 
be that of the Buddha, given the seated posture and the placement of the 
arms. The meditative pose of the black stone representation of Vishnu 
certainly recalls the Buddha, which is not a coincidence. The Buddha was 
the ninth avatar of Vishnu."


According to Snodrass, "To the extent that the building embodies 
meanings conducive to an intellectual vision of the non-duality of 
principial Unity and manifested multiplicity, it functions as a symbol, 
that is to say, as a representation of reality on another. The belief 
that the building is capable of performing this symbolic function is 
founded on the Indian doctrine that there exists an analogous, or 
anagogical correspondence between the physical and the metaphysical 
orders of reality, that the sensible world is a similitude of the 
intellectual, in such a way that: This world is the image of that, and 
vice-versa, from the Aitareya Aranyaka, VIII.2, by Keith.

[FairfieldLife] #5# Jesus Is Born -- Merry Christmas!

[Paulo Barbosa]

  To Reflect... Christmas

  Jesus Is Born -- Merry Christmas!

  "Unto us a child is born... (Isahia 9:6).


  "The Word did not become a philosophy, a theory or a concept to be discussed, 
debated or reflected. The Word became a Person to be followed, appreciated and 
loved!"


  Christmas Day is coming. A date celebrated by the whole Christian world. A 
date when families come together, where presents are exchanged, where many 
decorate their tables and light their houses and trees. A date when many forget 
their differences, 
differences of opinions, and passing struggles. A date when love unites and 
involves people no matter how different they may be
  .

  What is more important to us at a time like this when everyone celebrates 
Christmas? Could it be the date in itself? No! What is important is that Jesus 
is born! The exact date is not important, but the fact that -- Jesus is born! 
He was born for me


, for you, for all who desire to leave aside the resentments of the world, the 
momentary uncertainties, the failures that happened in the past, the tables 
without cake or typical foods, the windows without stockings and coloured 
lights. He is born so 
that we can find much more than all this, so that we might look at the table 
and find it adorned with blessings, to the window and see the promised 
victories, to stop complaining and begin to sing melodies of praise and joy.


  Jesus is born so that we might think less about ourselves and more about Him, 
the purpose of His coming, the lost ones He so loves. Jesus is born so that we 
might be filled with joy, not for what we have but for what we are -- sons of 
God! he is bor


n so that we might learn to celebrate Christmas, not only on a day in December, 
but every day of the year and all the years of our lives.

  Jesus is born! It is Christmas! This is our Christmas! "Glory to God on the 
Highest, and on earth peace among those with whom He is pleased!"



  A Merry Christmas to all!

Have you discussed this question with the folks at Jyotir Math? This was 
an issue that Hart DeFouw raised in one of his class discussions.  I 
wouldn't be surprised if the Shankaracharya only teaches Shiva mantras 
to the general public.


On 12/17/2013 10:18 AM, Richard J. Williams wrote:


There is no Shiva without Shakti.

We don't know why the Adi Shankara Tradition adopted the Shakti 
tantric system. Maybe that cult was just "in the air", so to speak. 
What we do know is the the Adi Shankara, by tradition, is associated 
with the Shakti tradition at present. All the Shankarachara Saraswati 
Dasanamis  worship the Shakti as the Goddess of Learning at Sringeri 
and also at Kanchi Mutt.


According to the Shakti tradition, the Adi Shankara composed the Sound 
Arya Lahari, the most important scripture of the Sri Vidya sect. As I 
have pointed out in a previous post, according to the Shankarachya 
tradition, the Adi traveled up to Kashmere and obtained a copy of the 
Sri Yantra and brought it back with him to South Asia. This symbolic 
mandala was installed at Sringeri and at Kanchi and worshiped there as 
a symbol of the Shakti Goddess Tripurasundari Saradampa (Saraswati).


So, we do know the Shankara Tradition adopted the Shakti system, and 
apparently all the Shankaracharya Sannysins are partial to Sri 
Saraswati. She is depicted with four arms, in which She holds a book 
in one hand, the Sri Yantra in another, and a string of pearls and a 
vina in the others.


According to what I've read, Sringeri Matha is located in the 
north-west of the State of Mysore, nestling in the beautiful 
foot-hills of the Western Ghats, surrounded by virgin forests, lies 
the village of Sringeri and here Sankara established his first Mutt. 
"The river Tunga-a branch of the river Tungabhadra-runs through the 
valley closely touching the walls of the temple; and its pure and 
limpid waters are as famous for drinking purposes as the waters of the 
Ganges are for bath (Ganga Snanam, Tunga Panam)."


Sringeri is a place of great sanctity and its beauty has to be seen to 
be appreciated. The Mutt is 'still going strong' as the phrase goes. 
The homage paid to the Mutt by countless aspirants and devotees is as 
much due to the greatness of illustrious men like Vidyaranya who have 
been at its head ever since its foundation as to the renown of the 
founder himself.


"Sringeri was the first headquarters of Sri Shankaracharya. He 
established four main maths - in Josimath, Dwarka, Puri, and Sringeri. 
Shankara spent 12 years of his life at Sringeri. Lord Chaitanya went 
there as well. Shankaracharya established the Sri Sharada Devi Temple. 
The deity installed in the temple stands on a Sri Chakra (yantra)."


"Mandana Misra, assuming the name of Suresvaracharya, was installed at 
Sringeri as the successor of Sankaracharya before the latter resumed 
his tour to found his three other pithas at Puri, Dwaraka and Badrinath."

In fact, according to my research, all the MMY mantras come from the

the seven states of consciousness in the subtle body. You will find

 16-Dec-13 00:15:04 UTC    Okay Rick, I tells you
 what. I got a crisp one Raam currency note in hand. Hows
 about you rent me the FFL moderatorship for a month. Hows
 about the month of January for one Raam. It is too dang cold
 in January in Iowa to get much done outside then. I'd
 have the time to ride herd over FFL then.  Sorry, it has to be
 dollars, not Raams, and the going rate is what MMY charged -
 $1 million a month.Look at the dilution of the flood of
 posts just today to any meaningful conversation on FFL
 today. The ankle-biters buried it deep in their mean
 unkindness. I appreciate your challenge of keeping the list
 within the Yahoo-groups guidelines is a big human relations
 job to do but I could do it in January. 
 I could help. 
 
  One Raam
 of the Global Country of World Peace is trading now at ten
 US dollars. The Global Country of World Peace currency notes
 have become speculative items and are increasing in value. I
 hear that Raams are being used by the drug cartels in Mexico
 now. I'll give you my one Raam note today as sort of a
 futures option to rent the moderatorship in January, so I
 can be FFL moderator for a month in January 2014. You take
 the one Raam note as security to rent me the moderatorship
 in January.  When January comes if you don't want
 to rent FFL then, give me the note back. But  I am
 pretty certain I could help you with FFL. I know how busy
 you are. Let me do it. Judicious is my nick name.
  
  Hows about
 I'll trade you the Raam note now and you can get the
 appreciation in its value for the next few weeks.  If
 you really get cold feet then give the note back anytime
 before Jan. 1 and you can keep its appreciation in value.
  How about we trade the Raam note tomorrow. Sometime
 after morning meditation. -Buck

 But but but...according to the Natural News article you linked to, Big Pharma 
arranged for all the testing to be done on its own supplements. Why would it do 
that knowing the study results would be negative and that folks would be 
discouraged from using supplements generally?

   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.   
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Re: [FairfieldLife] Yoga room at O'Hare

[Michael Jackson]

Ha ha ha ha ha! That reminds me of a story about my older sister. Sister is a 
heavy smoker, about two and a half to three packs a day. She also loves to 
travel. Years ago, she and her two best friends were on their way to Europe, 
and this was after smoking had been banned on international flights, so sister 
wanted to get in a good bit of smoking before her flight left. 

I can't remember which airport she was in, but it was a smoking room like you 
describe. This particular smoking room had automatic doors that opened when you 
approached them. Well and good, except these doors were broken, and would only 
work if you were on the inside coming out. If you were outside they wouldn't 
open. 

Sister not only smokes heavily but has a heavy amount of guilt over just being 
alive I guess. When she arrived at the smoking area, she was told the deal with 
the doors, and being there was only one other person in the room, she stood 
outside, looking longingly at the one guy smoking, following his every puff, 
rather than going in herself and having to take the long flight to Europe with 
the guilt of being the last person out of the room hanging over her head. 

Her emotional theory was that if she were the last one out of the room, she 
would be responsible for all subsequent smokers in the airport not being able 
to puff away to their hearts content when they approached the smoking room.

One of her friends drew a picture of her, standing out side the room holding a 
shepherd's crook looking with great regret at the promised land of nicotine 
nirvana. He gave the picture a caption of "Moses Sister." She was not happy 
with her flight, her nicotine fits nor the picture, but I enjoyed it 
tremendously when I saw it and heard the story after they got back from Europe.

   On the other side of the spectrum, there used to be
 a "smoking room" at San Jose (CA) Airport. It was
 actually a clear cube, in the middle of the terminal, where
 people could go in, and let people from the outside, watch
 as 
 the cube filled with smoke. Like a fishbowl. Love it.
 Unfortunately they removed in during a re-mod.

This is really too good to dismiss with the macro. Let's take it step by step...
 
Richard trolled and lied:
 
 << Allow me to repeat that the part of my post you apparently missed: it is 
impossible to create a macro key in Yahoo Neo; >>
 

 I never said I created a macro key in Yahoo Neo. You made that up. And I 
already told Barry that in the post you quote below. I guess you missed it, huh?
 

 << and also let me repeat that you cannot transfer a Word macro into the Yahoo 
Neo text box. >>
 

 Never tried it, but I'll take your word for it. I use a macro program, not 
Word.
 

 << Most tech wizards know this and we are aware of the various programs that 
allow the use of keyboard macros. >>
 

 Well, the tech wizard I'm responding to now apparently isn't aware of the 
macro program I'm using.
 

 << And, most tech wizards know that you can't create a macro using a single 
key; >>
 

 Not sure what you mean here. I created this macro by typing the WIllytex 
Disclaimer into the macro program I use, and then I invoke it in the FFL reply 
window by typing a single key three times. Here, I'll show you:
 

 This is all trolling and lying, stuff Richard made up. If anyone here (except 
Xeno and, obviously, Richard) takes Richard seriously enough to want a detailed 
refutation, let me know.
 

 See? Saves a lot of keystrokes since I need to use it so often. Does that 
clarify things for you?
 

 << and most everybody knows you've copied and pasted your sentence into the 
Yahoo Neo text box, or you keyed the text in directly. >>
 

 Nah, that would take too long, and I have this neat macro program that does it 
for me.
 

 << And everybody knows that NOBODY would be dumb enough to try and fib to a 
tech wizard about creating a keyboard macro in any program just to respond to a 
post in Yahoo Neo. >>
 

 Yup, they sure would be dumb to do that. It's always smarter to tell the 
truth, about anything, to anyone.
 

 You know, you could save yourself a lot of time too by using macros in your 
posts, because they have so much repetition. Want to know where to get the one 
I use?

It's not a crime to copy and paste a sentence into the Neo text box from Word

very sneaky way to win a debate, whether it's Word or any other word processor

[FairfieldLife] RE: Is Cohabitation the Next Constitutional Right?

[emptybill]

First gay-lesbian marriage. Then polygamist and group marriages. This was 
predicted and surely will come to pass.

There was never any reason other than Judeo-Christian religious law for its 
banning in the first place. However, it may bring some degree of social chaos. 
Imagine having two or three wives or husbands.

 FFL ankle-biting would seem like child's play.

[FairfieldLife] Gymnastics Videos

[raunchydog]

Fairfield's gymnastics team started their new season in November. There are two 
types of meets we will attend: 1. Gymnastics: Floor Exercise, Bars, Vault and 
Beam. 2. Trampoline and Tumbling: Trampoline, Double Mini and Rod Floor, which 
has a spring system underneath. Fairfield doesn't have a rod floor, there's no 
room for it until we get a dedicated gymnastics facility. In the meantime, the 
team practices tumbling using two-inch thick mats on a wooden floor.  The kids 
get has zero bounce off the mat. They have to exert a lot of extra oomph. On 
the rod floor at meets they feel like they're flying. It's an exciting new 
event. Cheeto loves it. I've been uploading gymnastics videos directly to 
Facebook, "Gymnastics Fans of Fairfield Iowa." In case you missed the videos or 
you're not on Facebook here are the YouTube links. Enjoy.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Big Pharma's Phony Study

Share,
 

 Naturalnews.com is not necessarily a source of unbiased opinion. There are 
clearly some things wrong in this article that was cited. Vitamins are fat or 
water soluble chemicals that the body needs in limited amounts. If you take 
more than the body needs, it just excretes them, or in some cases, toxicity 
results. A vitamin has a specific chemical structure, and it should work fine 
if ingested into the body; it really does not matter how it gets into the body, 
from food or a pill, or even injection, if the body can process it. Until about 
80 years ago, everyone got vitamins in food. Unless food sources are scarce or 
the quality of the food is lacking, that should be enough and you need not take 
any more. Most pill form vitamins are manufactured by just a few companies, and 
they package them for other companies just changing the labels on the bottles. 
You can check the bottle to see if was 'manufactured by' or 'distributed by' - 
the latter means the company probably paid to have the product made under their 
label.
 

 Most studies of vitamins are done by universities and pharmaceutical 
companies. Pharmaceuticals have to be shown to be effective to be marketed 
(even if in some cases the research is sub par), while food supplements do not 
require proof of efficacy and are not restricted for a specific intended use as 
are pharmaceuticals. The safety of food supplements is left up to the 
manufacturer unless a definite problems shows up. I take a multivitamin. I 
cannot tell if it does anything, but I do not always follow a well balanced 
diet, so it is just a bit of insurance, but I do not take more than the minimum 
daily requirement. I have on occasion been prescribed a specific vitamin by a 
physician for a specific reason.
 

 While the article in your interpretation implies that advertising on a web 
cite is inciting people to substitute pharmaceuticals for vitamins, I did not 
read it that way. Ads are ubiquitous on the Internet now.
 

 Using Dietary Supplements Wisely
 National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM)

http://nccam.nih.gov/health/supplements/wiseuse.htm

 

 Research has been done at NCCAM on quite a lot of alternate modalities but the 
results of many of these have dashed the hopes of finding effective 
alternatives to pharmaceuticals. Suspiciously many studies done simply have not 
been published and the reason seems to be they showed no useful effect for a 
particular modality.
 

 There is a problem with government regulation in that, most unfortunately, 
those that oversee the agencies often have ties to the drug companies, and so 
there is always a suspicion that compromises are being made behind closed 
doors. On the other hand supplement companies sell products without any real 
research being done in most cases.
 

 The only reason to take a pharmaceutical is it will actually help with a 
particular condition. Following the approval of a drug, its use is monitored. 
In general the effectiveness of a pharmaceutical reported in the studies that 
resulted in its approval turns out to be about double what its effectiveness is 
reported to be in actual use by physicians for their patients. And in some 
cases, a few drugs simply do not prove to work at all, or have disastrous side 
effects and are removed from the market. If you are healthy you really do not 
need to take anything other than a well balanced diet.
 

 For lunch today I had tilapia with Indian masala spices, white and black rice, 
curried zucchini and tomatoes, and a small glass of Riesling. I forgot to take 
my vitamin pill, and a specific drug that has been prescribed (which works as 
intended by the way, unlike many drugs, its effect is very obvious), so I will 
do that now.

Re: [FairfieldLife] MMY's Shakti

[Richard J. Williams]

There is no Shiva without Shakti.

We don't know why the Adi Shankara Tradition adopted the Shakti tantric 
system. Maybe that cult was just "in the air", so to speak. What we do 
know is the the Adi Shankara, by tradition, is associated with the 
Shakti tradition at present. All the Shankarachara Saraswati Dasanamis  
worship the Shakti as the Goddess of Learning at Sringeri and also at 
Kanchi Mutt.


According to the Shakti tradition, the Adi Shankara composed the Sound 
Arya Lahari, the most important scripture of the Sri Vidya sect. As I 
have pointed out in a previous post, according to the Shankarachya 
tradition, the Adi traveled up to Kashmere and obtained a copy of the 
Sri Yantra and brought it back with him to South Asia. This symbolic 
mandala was installed at Sringeri and at Kanchi and worshiped there as a 
symbol of the Shakti Goddess Tripurasundari Saradampa (Saraswati).


So, we do know the Shankara Tradition adopted the Shakti system, and 
apparently all the Shankaracharya Sannysins are partial to Sri 
Saraswati. She is depicted with four arms, in which She holds a book in 
one hand, the Sri Yantra in another, and a string of pearls and a vina 
in the others.


According to what I've read, Sringeri Matha is located in the north-west 
of the State of Mysore, nestling in the beautiful foot-hills of the 
Western Ghats, surrounded by virgin forests, lies the village of 
Sringeri and here Sankara established his first Mutt. "The river Tunga-a 
branch of the river Tungabhadra-runs through the valley closely touching 
the walls of the temple; and its pure and limpid waters are as famous 
for drinking purposes as the waters of the Ganges are for bath (Ganga 
Snanam, Tunga Panam)."


Sringeri is a place of great sanctity and its beauty has to be seen to 
be appreciated. The Mutt is 'still going strong' as the phrase goes. The 
homage paid to the Mutt by countless aspirants and devotees is as much 
due to the greatness of illustrious men like Vidyaranya who have been at 
its head ever since its foundation as to the renown of the founder himself.


"Sringeri was the first headquarters of Sri Shankaracharya. He 
established four main maths - in Josimath, Dwarka, Puri, and Sringeri. 
Shankara spent 12 years of his life at Sringeri. Lord Chaitanya went 
there as well. Shankaracharya established the Sri Sharada Devi Temple. 
The deity installed in the temple stands on a Sri Chakra (yantra)."


"Mandana Misra, assuming the name of Suresvaracharya, was installed at 
Sringeri as the successor of Sankaracharya before the latter resumed his 
tour to found his three other pithas at Puri, Dwaraka and Badrinath."

Most topes have a dome shape with a harmika on the top and a parasol,

Likewise, a stupa is a sort of mound, surmounted by a kalasa, supported 
by the amalaka in which the akasha, symbolizing dimensionless space, is 
supported by an invisible linga, surmounting harmika which is a basic
hypaethral pavilion - a veritible chaitya-garbha for pradakshina, with a 
nice fence around it.

The parasol, atop the stupa represents the canopy of heaven - its pole 
being the cosmic axis mundi and the dome's surface, the earth. As a 
cosmic egg image it is preeminent among the aniconic images of the 
Buddha. In Buddhist mythology the bodhi tree, also the symbol of MUM, is 
the original parasol duplicated in the dome with the kalasa on top.

The point where the pole of the parasol pierces the canopy corresponds 
precisely to the point defined by the harmika, where the pole emerges 
from the summit of the stupa garbha. When seen from above, the stupa 
outlines a circle and the fence around it represents the protective area 
of the surround, just like in a two dimensional design of the Sri 
Yantra, but in three dimensions, and with a bindu or point in the center.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Big Pharma's Phony Study

[sharelong60]

Thank you, Xeno for your balanced input. I'm replying from the website because 
yahoo mail kept refreshing and losing what I had written! Anyway, 
supplement-wise, I read and experiment and sometimes ignore the results of 
both, just going by my intuition or, as you said, just continue in the spirit 
of *just in case it's doing something good.* I really don't like to take 
supplements. Nonetheless, I use a liquid multi vitamin and spray Vit D. The 
latter was recommended by my regular doc as was Vit C and calcium. My diet is 
pretty healthy albeit rather limited. 
 

 I think even a healthy person would need to take something to supplement their 
diet. Mainly because our soil is so depleted of nutrients that even organic 
food in normal amounts might not supply all the nutrients one needs.
 

 As for tumeric, I'd much rather obtain that from delicious food I eat than 
from the capsules I see in the herb shop! I think in general the Oriental diets 
are much healthier if only because they supply herbs and spices that are 
beneficial. 

 

 Laughing now because I'm remembering two aphorisms I've heard: food is 
Brahman; Brahman is the eater!

Buck,
 
 You won't get much real knowledge by consulting the opinions found in a 
freshman theme paper - maybe even a high-school freshman paper at that. (If you 
get my meaning.) 
 
 The sources of the Dome derive from the vedi, the Vedic fire altar. This 
formal influence extends down to the Buddhist Stupa and the derivative temple  
architectures of India-Tibet-China-Japan. This also includes the two and 
three-dimensional mandala-s found throughout Sino-Tibetan Buddhism. 
  
 There is no better source on the planet (or in English) than the text 
Symbolism of the Stupa, written by Adrian Snodgrass, an Australian architect 
and now a professor.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Big Pharma's Phony Study

[Bhairitu]

Supplements from the various suppliers of metabolic typing that I use 
are of high quality.  However I learned early on why they were supplying 
some of  the B vitamins as synthetics because the food based B's weren't 
that stable and their potency would vary.


Big pharma is after the supplement market and wants it all to 
themselves.  I've talked with supplement manufacturers and they would 
like better government regulation of the industry just not the "pull the 
ladder up" kind that big pharma wants.  They want to be able to assure 
their customers that their products are top quality and that also 
requires being able to verify their raw sources.


I agree with much of what Mike Adams writes on Natural News but not 
necessarily anything that propose the "shotgun"  use of supplements.  
That in spite of the fact he has a good article there on metabolic typing.

Share,


Naturalnews.com is not necessarily a source of unbiased opinion. There 
are clearly some things wrong in this article that was cited. Vitamins 
are fat or water soluble chemicals that the body needs in limited 
amounts. If you take more than the body needs, it just excretes them, 
or in some cases, toxicity results. A vitamin has a specific chemical 
structure, and it should work fine if ingested into the body; it 
really does not matter how it gets into the body, from food or a pill, 
or even injection, if the body can process it. Until about 80 years 
ago, everyone got vitamins in food. Unless food sources are scarce or 
the quality of the food is lacking, that should be enough and you need 
not take any more. Most pill form vitamins are manufactured by just a 
few companies, and they package them for other companies just changing 
the labels on the bottles. You can check the bottle to see if was 
'manufactured by' or 'distributed by' - the latter means the company 
probably paid to have the product made under their label.



Most studies of vitamins are done by universities and pharmaceutical 
companies. Pharmaceuticals have to be shown to be effective to be 
marketed (even if in some cases the research is sub par), while food 
supplements do not require proof of efficacy and are not restricted 
for a specific intended use as are pharmaceuticals. The safety of food 
supplements is left up to the manufacturer unless a definite problems 
shows up. I take a multivitamin. I cannot tell if it does anything, 
but I do not always follow a well balanced diet, so it is just a bit 
of insurance, but I do not take more than the minimum daily 
requirement. I have on occasion been prescribed a specific vitamin by 
a physician for a specific reason.



While the article in your interpretation implies that advertising on a 
web cite is inciting people to substitute pharmaceuticals for 
vitamins, I did not read it that way. Ads are ubiquitous on the 
Internet now.



  Using Dietary Supplements Wisely

National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM)


http://nccam.nih.gov/health/supplements/wiseuse.htm


Research has been done at NCCAM on quite a lot of alternate modalities 
but the results of many of these have dashed the hopes of finding 
effective alternatives to pharmaceuticals. Suspiciously many studies 
done simply have not been published and the reason seems to be they 
showed no useful effect for a particular modality.



There is a problem with government regulation in that, most 
unfortunately, those that oversee the agencies often have ties to the 
drug companies, and so there is always a suspicion that compromises 
are being made behind closed doors. On the other hand supplement 
companies sell products without any real research being done in most 
cases.



The only reason to take a pharmaceutical is it will actually help with 
a particular condition. Following the approval of a drug, its use is 
monitored. In general the effectiveness of a pharmaceutical reported 
in the studies that resulted in its approval turns out to be about 
double what its effectiveness is reported to be in actual use by 
physicians for their patients. And in some cases, a few drugs simply 
do not prove to work at all, or have disastrous side effects and are 
removed from the market. If you are healthy you really do not need to 
take anything other than a well balanced diet.



For lunch today I had tilapia with Indian masala spices, white and 
black rice, curried zucchini and tomatoes, and a small glass of 
Riesling. I forgot to take my vitamin pill, and a specific drug that 
has been prescribed (which works as intended by the way, unlike many 
drugs, its effect is very obvious), so I will do that now.

Richard, what do you mean by Kama-rupa?
Kamarupa is the site of an ancient tantric cult of the Shakti Kamakhya 
in located in Assam. It is one of the main Shakti-pithas in the tanric 
Shakti cult.


According to tantric legend in a nut shell, Shiva was married to Shakti, 
the daughter of Daksha, but Daksha did not like Shiva for some reason, 
and Daksha did not invite Shiva or Shakti to a perticular sacrifice. 
Because of this, Shiva got really angry because Shakti threw herself on 
a fire because she was upset. Shakti was then transformed into the 
goddess Tripura Sundari, also called Shodashi. Shiva was grief-stricken 
at the loss of his wife Shakti so he put her body on his shoulders and 
vowed to keep it there. But, Vishnu sent his discus and cut Shakti's 
body into pieces, the various body parts numbering 51, fell at various 
places which came to be known a the 18 Maha Shakti-peethas.


The Kamakhya  Temple is a Shakti temple situated on top of the Nilachal 
Hill in western part  of Guwahati city in Assam on the northern banks of 
the river Brahmaputra (the  son of Brahma), India. It is the main temple 
in a complex of individual temples  dedicated to different forms of the 
mother goddess as the Dasa Mahavidya, including Bhuvaneshvari, 
Bagalamukhi, Chinnamasta, Tripura Sundari and Tara. It  is an important 
pilgrimage destination for general Hindu and Tantric  worshipers.


According to legend the body part of Devi that fell here was Her yoni.

The Sharda Temple which by tradition was visited by Shankara in his 
travels is located in Kishanganga Valley just across the Line of Control 
in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The meaning of it is that Shankara reached 
the peak of spirituality. We can get an idea of his greatness from the 
fact that a person of just thirty had ascended the throne of all 
knowledge. As it is not possible to visit this shakti peetha, one can 
visit the famous Saraswathi temple in Basara in Nizamabad district of 
Andhra Pradesh. Basara is 200 km from Hyderabad.


According to legend the body part of Devi that fell here was Her right 
hand.


So, Sankara proceeded to Kamarup - the present Guwahati-in Assam and 
held a controversy with Abhinava Gupta, the Shakta commentator, and won 
victory over him. Abhinava felt his defeat very keenly. He made Sankara 
suffer from a severe form of piles through black magic. Padmapada 
removed the evil effects of the black magic. Sankara became quite 
alright. He then went to the Himalayas, and then built a Mutt at Joshi 
and a temple at Badri. He then proceeded to Kedarnath higher up in the 
Himalayas. He became one with the Shakti in 820 A.D. in his 
thirty-second year.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Obamacare - trouble at the back end

[Mike Dixon]

And the administration has made their share of *purported* facts as well, that 
insurance rates will go down and so on. Yes, they will go down for a few, and 
it will be *better* for a few, who get government subsidies but the rest of us 
will absorb the cost for their gain. It is a fact that almost 6 million people 
have had their plans canceled because they now don't qualify as *up to 
standard* under Obamacare. The aadministration wants more coverage, perhaps 
coverage they don't need, want or can afford but must pay for so others can 
have it at a cheaper rate. Next year, after the elections , many companies will 
face the same predicament, cancel old plans for more expensive ones. As for Fox 
and Republicans trying to sabotage Obamacare, Fox is reporting what people are 
experiencing and the republicans owe nothing because they were shut-out from 
creating the law in the first place.  This was a Democratic baby that SHOULD 
have been aborted.Now, you and
 other Democrats want Republicans to fix it? Republicans asked for delays which 
were only done to avert a disaster which is yet to come. The administration 
delayed employer mandates until after the elections. The Republicans asked for 
a delay of the individual mandate, which was denied and now we see nobody was 
ready. for that as well. Obviously, you as Obama, have never run a business. 
Who would want to expand a small business with more full time employees if it 
were going to significantly raise it's cost of doing business, maybe even to 
the point of non profitability. The obvious solution is to hire more part- time 
and hold them to less than 30 hours. The administration counters  with, 
*there's no indication that this would be the case*. No. they'll just have to 
wait for unemployment to rise or job creation to stagnate to get those figures 
they need. Then we'll need to pass more laws *fixing* it. More government 
regulation. It'll just go on and on and
 on.

According to what I've read, the NSA doesn't even know how many

spot another spy among their own. Apparently Snowden was a genius among

In a book I recently read, one of the prosecutors at trial told the 
presiding judge that Kevin Mitnick, The Dark Side Hacker, at one time 
the most wanted hackers by the FBI, could hack into a phone connection 
at NORAD and with a series of whistles, cause a ballistic missile to be 
launched. Go figure.


Next, they will be telling us that there's a hidden camera inside every 
Mr. Coffee pot. You better check every ball point pen in the house for 
cams and voice actuated listening devices, while you're at it. LoL!


"Among the more eye-opening claims made by NSA is that it detected what

in the guise of a firmware update that would have targeted computers

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Des Moines Register's Op-Ed piece on Fairfield and MUM

Bottom-line Fairfield, Iowa is about spirituality, spiritual action and 
revolution. Direct-action. All the stuff about energy efficiency and Sthapatya 
Veda houses is incident to the larger real mission of spiritual revolution.   
 

 

 
 
 Heck, most meditators in Fairfield do not even live in Sthapatya Veda houses 
but they do certainly make their own perfect vastu by meditating. This other 
stuff about the materialism of the community is a sub-title that is just easy 
to the outsider to grab on to about Fairfield, Iowa but looses the real story

broad fundamental change of the whole world order.

ROTFL.
 

 Look, Barry, it's obvious why you want to encourage the guy, but not even 
Richard, in his fondest dreams, imagines he's got me "on the ropes."  Au 
contraire, Pierre. When he finally has to resort to calling me a "racist" on 
the basis of my purported dislike of Texans, that's pretty much an admission of 
defeat.
 

 He gave it the old college try, gave it his best, and he failed ignominiously, 
just as you always have (and you're a lot better at it than he is). You can't 
effectively "stalk" somebody when you have to base your attacks on attempted 
deception because you haven't got a case.
 

 And you know what? That nobody but you took me up on my offer to refute his 
lies is a clear indication that nobody believed them in the first place.
 

 It's also hilarious that you've been so frustrated in your attempts to stalk 
me for almost two decades that you've ended up having to support a person for 
whom you've shown only contempt until now.
 

 Does any of this make me a "winner"? Nope. It just confirms that the two of 
you are losers, have always been losers.
 

 And BTW, it doesn't take any "squirming" to press a macro key. Just think how 
much more of his time Richard has had to spend on his doomed project than I 
have.

[FairfieldLife] OMG: aakaasha and Dark Matter? (draft version)

[cardemaister]

Sanskrit verb 'kaash' (CDSL: kAz), the root of nouns like 'aakaasha'  means 'be 
visible, appear, shine'. 
 

 According to Macdonell,  as a verbal prefix 'aa' "reverses the meaning of verbs
 of giving and going"; e.g: gam (to go), aa-gam (to come); daa (to give), 
aa-daa (to take). 
 

 Neither Macdonell nor Monier-Williams mentions 'aakaash' as a verb. They 
mention
 for instance 'prakaash', 'avakaash' and 'vikaash'.
 

 Perhaps it's not totally outta question to postulate, that if there was a verb 
like
 'aakaash', it might have  a meaning "reverse" to 'kaash': be invisible, 
disappear,
 not shine at all, like Dark Matter...

Re: [FairfieldLife] Yoga room at O'Hare

[Share Long]

On my return trip to FF, I finally used the Religious Reflections Room at the 
Detroit airport to do my evening program. Certainly enough floor space to do 
yoga asanas, chairs pretty comfy, lighting low and the whole room well away 
from the hustle and bustle of the airport.





On Monday, December 16, 2013 9:27 PM, Rick Archer  wrote:
 
  
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.

Maharishi didn't want us to do outer worship of the Devi as we already meet Her 
in every meditation. No puja is needed. If you want to meet Her in the 
manifested form all you have to do is go to one of the (few) Temples were She 
resides and She will greet you there.
