And yet you have had experiences that you would put in the spiritual category,
IIRC. And I think I have as well. If I had a technique now, it would be to
pretty much ignore those experiences if they come about, and even push back
against them somewhat, to see if they continue to assert themselves. And it
has been interesting to see what sticks around, and what goes away. Not to be
too cryptic about it.

Not that there is not some use in what all spiritually minded folks do but
most of it just seems designed, albeit unconsciously, just to make us feel
better. And that is all it does, it makes us feel better emotionally, even
though our lives suck. And what better way to feel better than to believe our
very special and wonderful chosen path will lead to some sort of salvation for
all humanity.

Its good to feel good, but when I see that most of the practitioners of all
this new agey stuff are STILL unhappy, still unhealthy, still un-wealthy and
still having crappy relationships, I see that even with the practices, beliefs,
icons and things and people to follow it doesn't seem to do the trick except
that we fool ourselves into believing if we stay on the path, we will
eventually get to where we want to be (really happy).

I've been reflecting on
how my outlook has changed over time.
From being an energetic foot

[FairfieldLife] RE: "If Another Country Was Doing This To Our Kids, Wed Be At War"

Re "the opposing forces, broadly defined as materialism":

 

 Yes, the obsession with money and the status it confers is the only value in 
today's society - or certainly the value that now dominates in both the UK and 
the USA. It's so bloody philistine and degrading and small-minded and has 
triumphed over all the noble ideals that once motivated people. 
 Now given a straight choice between having the latest model Aston Martin or 
not having a car at all I would naturally choose to have the car. I'm not 
denying that having an Aston Martin is a good thing. I'm aware that classy 
luxury cars are beautiful possessions. But I can also see that other values are 
more life-affirming: belonging to a supportive community where people respect 
and value each other is just one example. And I'd happily forsake the car if I 
could live in such a supportive society. But the obsession with material 
possessions and personal status has eroded all competing values until we can 
now all see we are living in a spiritual wasteland where greed is the norm.
 But "materialism" can also refer to a reductive philosophy that explains life 
strictly in scientific and technological terms and has no time for the inner 
life or spiritual discipline. It's surely no coincidence that both types of 
materialism are flourishing in tandem. 
 Current trends will result in such wide divisions between the haves and 
have-nots - compounded by the insufferable arrogance of the rich - that I fear 
serious unrest and violence is inevitable. I can't decide whether serious 
unrest and violence is precisely what we need to break out of the trap or 
whether, on the contrary, we need a spiritual revival from the roots. I suspect 
that both types of upheaval also arise in tandem.

more fillers than when you bought the product several years ago?

Also, technology, being so accessible, is able to provide enough comfort and
satisfaction so that people will be okay with a lower standard of living.

The last time the US economy was in balance was in the 1970s. After that it
started going wacko. Much of the "prosperity" of the country was based on
credit and people tricked into buying things they really didn't need. It's
like there was a scheme to put everyone in debt.

Yes, technology is one thing that has gotten cheaper. But people don't need
to be activists 24/7 so some recreation is fine. A lot of folks wanted to
downsize too as they got older but it has been difficult to sell their homes
and renting something smaller often costs as much as the mortgage they are
already paying. It's crazy.

Another thing said is that stats will continue to drive most decisions. Just
as in sports stats have become dominant in measuring every nuance, this will
continue in one's personal life, determining credit worthiness, and into areas
not yet so affected in this way.

And a lot of stats aren't at all, many stats are propaganda. Be sure to
consider the source.

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: All About the Fighting Ascetics of India

It is time to modernize this Math fragmentation. The committee should chose 
Shankaracharyas on the basis of modern standards of neurophysiology at the 
least. Then also as there is a face value of enough cultivated shakti as like 
saints of old as real luminaries were and then certainly too they should have 
scholarly credentials enough to profess the Knowledge properly in context. 
Modern Shanks proly should pass a board certification exam too as to their 
proficiency in the traditional scriptural literature, to also be objective. At 
least an oral exam if they can't read or write. Shankara and Brahmananda 
Saraswati Guru Dev had these resplendent when they held the Joytirmath.

You two are outrageous here. What a couple of anti-science hate filled

the Global Country of World Peace is all our heritage, we are all citizens of

you two do not know better and yet persist in your agitation against and

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: All About the Fighting Ascetics of India

Not that any TB'ers give a crap what I think, but I guarantee you these guys 
who claim to be Shankaracharya would not give a shit what you or anyone else 
would think say or do coming from Fairfield or anywhere else.

Take the halos off these guys you have put on them just because they are Indian 
and wear a certain kind of robe and because they claim to have some 
knowledge/energy. Look at how they function, how they behave. Since the day 
Guru Dev kicked the bucket these guys have behaved like a bunch of five year 
olds fighting over the last cookie on the plate.

If any of them were really worthy to have the title, they would not behave the 
way they have been these last 60 years or so. All they give a damn about is the 
title and the money and perks it brings. All they want is to be able to sit on 
their asses, pontificate and have everyone treat them like they are God, 
collect up the money, prestige and praise. 

None of 'em are worth a shit. Physically fighting to be first in the Ganges at 
the Kumba Mela Fuck!

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: "If Another Country W as Doing This To Our Kids, Wed Be At War"

Well, perhaps like some others, I felt "This is America, income disparity must
just be an aberration, that will straighten itself out before too long" But it
turns out that it was the middle class that was an aberration, and income
disparity is here to stay!

No revolts in the street. Just a kind of acceptance tempered by enough to
eat, and the comforts that technology can provide.

On the other hand, I think it has been determined that once people have
achieved a certain amount of wealth, they are considered as happy, (or nearly
as happy) as those who are considered super rich.

But I didn't really look at the video on hunger that Turq posted, so maybe
there are other factors afoot that will turn this nice scenario on its head.

I listened to several interviews with this guy.

Among the things he writes about is that income disparity is pretty much here
to stay. But instead of 1% and the rest, it is more likely to be about 15% who
have resources, with most everyone else just scraping by.

He also points out, (either correctly or incorrectly) that the catalyst for
social upheavals in the past was because people did not have enough to eat, and
that is not likely to be the case now.

Also, technology, being so accessible, is able to provide enough comfort and
satisfaction so that people will be okay with a lower standard of living.

I recall being quite impressed with Alvin Toffler's Future Shock. This has
that feel to it. (for me at least)

I intend to order and read on my daughter's Kindle.

I listened to several interviews with this guy.

Among the things he writes about is that income disparity is pretty
much here to stay. But instead of 1% and the rest, it is more likely
to be about 15% who have resources, with most everyone else just
scraping by.

Indeed lots of people I talk to are just scrapping by. A lot of people
are too proud to admit it though. You have to pry sometimes to find what
their case is. A lot of the unemployed are highly educated and have a
lot of experience. People's futures have been stolen and they should
not be depressed, they should be downright angry.

He also points out, (either correctly or incorrectly) that the
catalyst for social upheavals in the past was because people did not
have enough to eat, and that is not likely to be the case now.

The riots in Spain and Greece are do to people not being able to afford
food. Do you do the grocery shopping in the family? Have you notice
food prices going up faster than the rate of inflation? Or food packages
getting smaller but still the same price? Or the ingredients in
something now are cheaper or more fillers than when you bought the
product several years ago?

Also, technology, being so accessible, is able to provide enough
comfort and satisfaction so that people will be okay with a lower
standard of living.

The last time the US economy was in balance was in the 1970s. After
that it started going wacko. Much of the "prosperity" of the country
was based on credit and people tricked into buying things they really
didn't need. It's like there was a scheme to put everyone in debt.

Yes, technology is one thing that has gotten cheaper. But people don't
need to be activists 24/7 so some recreation is fine. A lot of folks
wanted to downsize too as they got older but it has been difficult to
sell their homes and renting something smaller often costs as much as
the mortgage they are already paying. It's crazy.

Another thing said is that stats will continue to drive most
decisions. Just as in sports stats have become dominant in measuring
every nuance, this will continue in one's personal life, determining
credit worthiness, and into areas not yet so affected in this way.

And a lot of stats aren't at all, many stats are propaganda. Be sure to
consider the source.

[FairfieldLife] A Tale Of Two Women: Jasmine and Samantha

Today was a non-workday for me, all of the articles on my schedule for
this week already written, so I spent the day with a couple of women.
And the differences between them really struck me, so I'll spend a
little time rapping about those differences.

Don't get me wrong...they were similar in many ways. Both were
beautiful, and both were intelligent. Neither of them was real, in the
strictest sense of the word, but still, it was the differences between
them that stood out more than the similarities.

When I say that neither was real, it's because both women were
characters in films. Jasmine is the name of Cate Blanchett's character
in Woody Allen's latest film, "Blue Jasmine." And Samantha, played by
Scarlett Johansson, is the name of Joaquin Phoenix's love interest in
Spike Jonze's new film "Her." But still, even though both of these women
were fictional, one of them felt far more real to me than the other.

It wasn't the acting that defined the "realness" or the lack thereof.
Both actresses have been nominated for Best Actress awards already, and
there is a strong chance that both will get similar Oscar nominations
for their work in these films. And both will deserve them. But still,
one of the women they portrayed felt more real than the other.

I've met women like Jasmine. Heck, I've dated -- although, to my credit,
never for longer than a single date -- women like Jasmine. Cate
Blanchett did a great job capturing the nuances of a seriously
depressed, seriously neurotic, and above all seriously narcissistic
woman. Watching her character onscreen made my skin crawl. I wouldn't
even have lasted through the starter course if someone had fixed me up
on a dinner date with Jasmine. I would have been putting her in a cab
and doing leaps of joy at being rid of her within 20 minutes. It really
didn't *matter* how beautiful Jasmine was, because inside she was ugly.
And interestingly enough, the ugliness didn't come from her depression,
or her neuroses; it came from her narcissism. Jasmine's sense of self
was so huge and so overpowering that there was simply no room in it for
another human being.

And then there's Samantha. Even though we never get to see Scarlett
Johansson onscreen (all we hear is her voice), and even though she's
only an operating system, Samantha is real. And a large part of that
"realness" is that there is no narcissism in her.

Jasmine is so delusional that she has episodes of talking to herself in
public. But even when she's talking to someone else she's talking to
herself. She's closed, not really open to contact. That never happens
with Samantha. When she's talking to you, she's really talking to you,
not to the voices in her head. She's open.

It's NOT as if Samantha has no self, or no sense of self, even though
she's...uh...an AI. Her designers created her to be curious, and to have
a love of learning. She has learned a lot, so she has a very strong
sense of self.

But it's self without self-obsession. That's the biggest difference
between her and Jasmine. Jasmine's self is so important to her, so
overpowering and overshadowing, that she can't get out of it. And she
can't let anyone "into" that self, because there is no room for anyone
*but* her self in there. Samantha is all self, but somehow so accepting
of that self that it's an "open self." There is room in her self for
every thing she sees and every self she interacts with. None of these
things and people diminish her in any way, or (as with Jasmine) distract
her from the all-important obsession with her self and its all-important
thoughts. All of these things and people Samantha encounters only *add*
to the sum of her self. As a result, she comes off as "real," whereas
Jasmine does not. In my opinion, of course.

Samantha feels real to me because she reminds me of my real-life close
friends, and why they *are* my friends. She's open, she's funny, she's
compassionate and accepting of others, and her range of interests is so
vast that there is never a possibility of running out of things to talk
to her about or like about her. But most of all she's open. And that
openness inspires a similar openness in me. What could be more real than
that?

 The Global Country of World
 Peace is a fiction in the minds of those who hope for a
 better world but are, unfortunately, lacking the skill and
 knowledge to make it a better one. I believe it is held by
 those who are older, perhaps more desperately idealistic and
 who have maybe run out of other ideas which could make this

 yourself and in the dealings with those around you. Start
 small, make it all count from how you say "good

[FairfieldLife] A different kind of movie review: "Her"

Well, I finally got to see it, and the bottom line is that -- as I had
suspected -- Spike Jonze has made the film of the year.

I'll probably see it a number of times again, because the script itself
is so gorgeous that I'll want to revisit those lines over and over. But
for now I'll just pass along my
I-finally-saw-it-and-my-intuition-about-it-was correct thumbs-up
recommendation, and leave it at that.

Instead of writing about the movie itself, I'll probably just rap about
things it's left me thinking about over the next few days. I'm heading
out to a cafe right now to write the first of them. They'll be
spontaneous, off the top of my head, and unedited. Be warned. :-)

[FairfieldLife] Waging Radical Transcendentalism, A Call to Group Meditations

Brave meditators, you have done all we asked you to do, and more than could be 
reasonably expected; but your own global country of World Peace is at stake, 
your partners, families, your homes and all that you hold dear. You have worn 
yourselves out with fatigues and hardships of waging world peace, but we know 
not how to spare you. If you will consent to stay in the Domes only one month 
longer, you will render that service to the cause of liberty of all and to your 
global country of world peace which you probably never can do under any other 
circumstances.

 Introduction
 
 In 1960 Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, founder of the Transcendental Meditation 
program, predicted that a transition in society toward a more orderly and 
harmonious functioning would occur when a small fraction -on the order of one 
percent- of a population practiced the Transcendental Meditation technique (6), 
and in December 1974 we found that crime rate did decrease in four midwestern 
U.S. Cities in which one percent of the population was practicing the TM 
technique.

 In the East China Sea, in very practical terms I should really quite like to 
see a well formed coalition made of the United Nations Peace-keepers 
immediately handling the logistics of a landing of teams of AFSC Quakers as 
experienced mediators of conflict and meditators from the Global Country of 
World Peace in field effect as a joint peace-making task-force.   In coalition 
of peace-keeping make a landing now on some island rock between them countries 
all for a residence of coherence mediation meditation.  It is high time to 
attack the incoherence there directly with a much more aggressive mediation of 
transcending meditation. 
 -Buck  
 


 Revolution now! It is high time we claim our revolutionary heritage back from 
the Movement's suits. As meditators we need to take our cause with peace 
directly to the barricades again; the need be here in this world today that we 
deploy now and lay siege with meditation even to the Great Walls of China in 
that troubled incoherent part of the world. It is time for great spiritual and 
scientific revolutionary action of mediation meditation everywhere. If they 
won't let us in to Red China to meditate a mediation with peace there then, 
occupy their Great Wall. Garrison their block houses with meditation. !Occupy 
Now!

 Radicalism 1962,   Radical Peace and The 1962 Cuban missile crisis: As a 20th 
Century revolutionary in radical peaceful affect, a prominent millenarian of 
his age, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi was boundlessly persistent, constant and 
consistent in his coming out of India going around the world in  peace activism 
of direct-action through introducing and  inciting the mediation for peaceful 
resolution of world conflict  by the effect of group meditation.

Bullets do not work that way
Bullet bouncing off the gun 
and ruining the gunman's day. 
Bullet,
You there, I here,
With just the door ajar
That oceans are,
And prayer,
And that pale sustenance,
Despair!
..
Someone lurking through the door ajar?
A little breathless frightened star?
My ears are evermore attend,

...  ...
Waiting in vain for one blest sound--?
