[FairfieldLife] Perfect pitch: mixed blessing?
http://www.choralnet.org/view/290984#291074 http://www.choralnet.org/view/290984#291074 Perfect Pitch is as Gretchen pointed out a mixed blessing. I have what might be called 'excellent relative pitch', meaning that I am 95% accurate on where I ned to be. The other 5% requires hard work to catch up.Some I've sung with with perfect pitch struggled when things weren't perfect. This was particularly true if a piece was transposed to a different key from what was on the page in front of them. One of my early theory teachers encouraged anyone with perfect pitch to develope their relative pitch. His theory was that even with P.P. they had the ability to train their ear to easily transpose what was on the page, by becoming very accurate in their interval work. If you knew what the interval was you could transpose it to any key easily.

Of course, the problem with issues like this is that if anyone claims TM has such-and-such benefits, or alternatively that TM causes this-and-that problems, the only way to empirically resolve the issue is to have a large sample of people who learn TM and another sample who don't. Make sure the two groups are more-or-less matched for other features - age, status, mental health, money issues, etc. Then follow the two groups over the years and see what benefits or disasters occur that are statistically significant. Anything else is just anecdotal. You also have to rule out the horse-before-the-cart fallacies: do people who learn TM show a greater tendency to stop using drugs thanks to regularly experiencing pure consciousness? Or is it the case that those who display the discipline necessary to stop using drugs and take up a regular practice of meditation are statistically more likely to continue abstaining? I'm pretty sure that for some sensitive individuals, taking up TM could have undesirable psychological consequences. Certainly you are correct in all that you say here. In any sampling of the population you will find the gullible/undiscerning ones who go off the deep end when the literal promised benefits or consequences of involving themselves in something doesn't come to pass as exactly outlined. Two outcomes in this case - they either become bitter and hopeless and just remain angry for the rest of their lives or they become bitter and hopeless and try and take their lives. Either way, if they had been a tad more realistic in their expectations of whatever was promised or guaranteed they might not have fell so hard when it all didn't pan out. One thing I know, you can't swallow whole any purported guarantee of anything man-made especially if that guarantee issues from the mouth of another human being. This is not cynicism on my part, merely common sense. Don't hold any human being too responsible because it takes a sucker (the promisee) and someone imperfect (the promiser) to create a problem. I have a hard time blaming, blaming. blaming others for my own disappointment or failure to achieve something. I could go through the rest of my life hating and reviling MMY or Robin for their failure to deliver what they promised me but I simply don't find myself doing that. I mean, what would this bitterness toward them gain me exactly?

[FairfieldLife] RE: Those who reject superstition are displaying extra brain power
Xeno has certainly made himself look extraordinarily smarmy with this load of crap. He's reviving a smear originated by that Model of Probity Curtisdeltablues, as he was trying to weasel his way out of a cocoon of dishonesty he'd woven around himself. The smear was picked up later by Share as she tried to avoid taking responsibility for her own falsehoods. And now Xeno has adopted it for his own use. The fact, of course, is that I rarely make any kind of show of my own honesty unless someone has impugned it--which, in this case, Xeno had just done, probably hoping I would say what I did so that he could haul out the smear below. But to simply say I don't lie is hardly the theatrical performance Xeno wished to evoke. He must have been a little disappointed. Note that he carefully failed to quote what I wrote. I don't have to make an effort to appear trustworthy. I am trustworthy, and Xeno knows this. In all the time I've been on FFL, and before that on alt.m.t, nobody has ever come up with a shred of evidence of dishonesty on my part. Certainly, despite his seeming assurance as to my mendacious tendencies, Xeno has never made anything but vague insinuations, including, in this case, allusions to undefined character defects that purportedly undermine my nonexistent theatrical performance. Xeno's is a twisted attack by a sick, hostile mind. The lady doth protest too much, methinks.'

[FairfieldLife] RE: Amanda Knox is Found Guilty Again
S3, Using the American system of law, the appeal or retrial should not have occurred. The evidences on the trial were already compromised. The interrogation were improperly conducted which put Know under duress to agree whatever the police accused her of. The knife in question was tainted and improperly handled by the police investigators. The blood samples were improperly handled by the investigators. The blood stained bra was also mishandled. Thus, they cannot be used to prove the prosecutor's case. Essentially, the prosecutor has nothing to prove his case. As such, Knox has a very good cause for an appeal and reversal of the verdict. If this doesn't work, she can sue the Italian judges at the Hague (International Court) for human rights violation and apartheid. Regarding Sollecito, I believe he has a good cause for an appeal and reversal too. But it's not likely he's going to seek asylum in the US anytime soon. The latest news stated that the police confiscated his passport and IDs. So, he can't go anywhere outside of Italy. Moral of the story: don't get in trouble in Italy.

My experience with the TM Movement and around Maharishi has been one of quite satisfying spirituality. Possibly though when I began at an early age I was never enmeshed as a devotee but rather as just a practitioner and participant that way and not much dependent on the organization other than for its facilitating meditating and group meditations. All along it either worked or if it would have not then I would have moved on. That may well have been in the nature of my whole Iowa upbringing, different from others background. But in the meantime we all did a lot of large and great things with TM. Like dragging science in to spirituality. As a transcendentalism movement we were successful leaving a foot print on larger culture for all the campaigning we did at a time out on the front line. It was revolutionary. I was glad to have been on the 'long march' with Maharishi in his time. You can't take that away from us for all of your blanket carping. We do share a brother-hood as transcendentalists and Fairfield is still a fabulous place to live for its being a meditator's place. It's a highly spiritual place and the MUM University here is still a visionary's place to go to school along with others of like high-mind. I'd go to school there.

As such, I believe the winning team will have the signs of Shiva on the team or its logo. Since two of the key players wear their hair in dreadlocks, I'm picking the Seahawks to win.

All along it either worked or if it would have not then I would have moved on. That may well have been in the nature of my whole Iowa upbringing, different from others background. But in the meantime we all did a lot of large and great things with TM. Like dragging science in to spirituality. As a transcendentalism movement we were successful leaving a foot print on larger culture for all the campaigning we did at a time out on the front line. It was revolutionary. I was glad to have been on the 'long march' with Maharishi in his time. You can't take that away from us for all of your blanket carping. We do share a brother-hood as transcendentalists and Fairfield is still a fabulous place to live for its being a meditator's place. It's a highly spiritual place and the MUM University here is still a visionary's place to go to school along with others of like high-mind. I'd go to school there.

[FairfieldLife] When Europeans were enslaved by Muslims
Muslim like to portray themselves as the victims of Westerners and Jews. Not only is this portrait false but slavery has always been practiced in Islam and is still legal. One day they hope they can do it again. Following the population trends, they probably will, at least in Europe. A new study suggests that a million or more European Christians were enslaved by Muslims in North Africa between 1530 and 1780 – a far greater number than had ever been estimated before. Pirates (called corsairs) from cities along the Barbary Coast in north Africa – cities such as Tunis and Algiers – would raid ships in the Mediterranean and Atlantic, as well as seaside villages to capture men, women and children. The impact of these attacks were devastating – France, England, and Spain each lost thousands of ships, and long stretches of the Spanish and Italian coasts were almost completely abandoned by their inhabitants. At its peak, the destruction and depopulation of some areas probably exceeded what European slavers would later inflict on the African interior. The enslavement of Europeans doesn’t fit the general theme of European world conquest and colonialism that is central to scholarship on the early modern era, he said. Many of the countries that were victims of slavery, such as France and Spain, would later conquer and colonize the areas of North Africa where their citizens were once held as slaves. Maybe because of this history, Western scholars have thought of the Europeans primarily as “evil colonialists” and not as the victims they sometimes were, Davis said.

Friends, paraphrasing old Thoreau here I feel I do not wish to kill nor to be killed, but I can foresee circumstances in which both these things would be by me unavoidable. We preserve the so-called peace of our community by deeds of material petty violence every day. Look at the policeman's billy and handcuffs! Look at the jail! Look at the gallows! Look at the chaplain of the regiment! We are hoping only to live safely on the outskirts of this provisional army. So we defend ourselves and our hen-roosts, and maintain the ignorant materialism of slavery. I know that the mass of my countrymen think that the only righteous use that can be made of Sharp's rifles and revolvers is to fight duels with them, when we are insulted by other nations, or to hunt Indians, or shoot fugitive slaves with them, or the like. I think that for once the Sharp's rifles and the revolvers were employed in a righteous cause. The tools were in the hands of one who could use them in old John Brown's or Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's in waging the transcendentalist's war on spiritual ignorance. Were they perfect, probably not. Were they great and instrumental in the cause of equal rights for all, yes both were. I shout, !Jai Old John Brown! !Jai Maharishi Mahesh Yogi! -Buck in the Dome, a radical transcendentalist. The whole purpose of life is to gain enlightenment. Nothing else is significant compared to that completely natural, exalted state of consciousness. So always strive for that.

Share, Amanda Knox is still the victim. It's also unfortunate that she's running a very bad period of the Sun, the lord of the 64th navamsha and the Atmakaraka. Perhaps, it's her karma to go through these challenges. Whether she likes it or not, she has to fight through this event to clear her name and to disclose the weaknesses of the Italian court system. Someone should advise her to take up meditation to keep her calm and to perform what she has to do.
[FairfieldLife] RE: Fairfield's spiritual and refined alternative to the Sunday Stupid-Bowl
American sports fans do get excited about competition, but to them Buck, it is not stupid, it is a glorious annual ceremony, like high Mass at the Vatican. Having seen various versions of Pride and Prejudice in film or video, I decided to read the book. It is interesting to see how movie makers adjust the story to fit in whatever allotted time they have, and how they shape the emotional tenor of the story to appear to the audience. Almost always there are cuts to the story, combining moments to make it fit. Also storytelling in a movie has a strong visual element that is left to the imagination in the book, but must be fleshed out in the movie and this requires adapting the story as well. TV series generally have more time to play with and do not have to compress the story line as much. A good adaptation does not necessarily mean the production is faithful to the original novel. Recently I watched 'The Adjustment Bureau' which I felt was a pleasing adaptation of Philip K. Dick's short story 'The Adjustment Team', even though the film deviated considerably from Dick's story, the basic idea was kept intact. Certain commercial considerations obviously dictated the changes. In the movie, the couple have just met, and thus have the potential for romance, but in Dick's story, they are married, no romance here but an ongoing typical relationship. This change, adding an evolving romance in New York City to the story rather than keeping a staid one in a much bleaker and more constricted setting clearly makes appeal to the mass of movie goers, but at the same time it gives the writers a means to extend the briefness of the short story into something that works better in the length of a motion picture and add stronger emotional challenges. They also subtly altered the basic premise to give the story slightly more obviously religious overtones than the Dick story, which would resonate with, at least, audiences with Christian influences, and in some ways a bit more mysterious, as the character known as the 'Old Man' in the Dick story is concrete and appears, while in the movie adaptation, the 'Old Man' is renamed 'The Chairman' and does not appear. The director decided that he would let the audience fill in with their imagination rather than make a literal translation of the book. In comparing Pride and Prejudice with the Adjustment Bureau (as movies), powerful inhibitions and private opinions keep the lovers apart until the end, while in the Adjustment Bureau, powerful external forces, a metaphor for the power of nature or if you prefer, the actions of a god and his/her minions keep the lovers apart until the end. In the latter movie, the theme of determinism versus free will is also quite strong, and kept somewhat ambiguous. Instead of watching videos, you could read the books and let your imagination fill in an entire world whereas movies leave little unstated or unseen for the most part.

He has an old army sleeping bag which also doubles as a pillow when not in use for sleeping or on really hot days. This guy has a large box fan sitting on the floor, usually set to high. The guy has an old laptop computer with a 14 inch display, but no internet; a 21 inch cathode ray TV set with rabbit ears sitting on a TV tray. There is a game box with two controllers and several game discs on the floor next to a cardboard box. There's an Emerson microwave on the counter next to a small sink in the corner of the room.

There is no water hose but there is a spigot at the side of the main hose. He parks his car on the street at the curb in front of the house. There is a sidewalk made of square flat concrete slabs that he got at Home Depot garden center. His door has a combination padlock on the outside of the door with a chain for security. Inside the door has a sliding bolt assembly he bought at Ace Hardware. This nerd guy has an old Lazy Boy recliner for his chair that he found at the curb from a house down the street that he found during free curb-side trash pick up. His main light is a cord hanging from the center of the ceiling with an aluminum shield on it that he got at the Family Dollar. He has a radiant electric heater on the floor near the foot of the bed. There is a window in the back of the room covered with aluminum foil and it opens, but has no screen.

The ideal office will have a coffee pot (drip, automatic; and a glass water kettle for boiling water. The ideal home office will have a coffee bean grinder. The desk should be stable, constructed of wood or metal, and at a suitable position for maximum utility. The chair should be comfortable and supporting. The table light should provide ample lighting for doing work. The ideal home office would be located in a place free of unwanted distractions. In addition, the ideal home office would be equipped with a telephone (land line or cell); a computer (desktop or laptop) preferably with two or more large flat-screen monitors and a sound system; a file cabinet (metal or wood); a printer (inkjet or laser); and a fax machine (or computer fax software) and a flat-bed scanner. The bathroom should include a roll of tissue; a box of tissues; and soap (bar or bottle).

Yes, certain celebrity deaths are more profound, for me, than others. PSH was one of the greatest contemporary actors of our day and this is a loss. I certainly have serious doubts that he meant to kill himself but kill himself he did. He didn't seem like an out-of-control cretin like Jim Morrison or particularly hedonistic and thoroughly screwed up like Charlie Sheen (who, of course, has managed to remain standing - miraculously) so Phillip's death is one of those that feels wrong, feels premature. I suppose his time was finished here, in this time, in this body but I think it was too soon. If I was the boss I would have had him stick around a lot longer - him and John Lennon. But then, I'm not at the controls. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, TurquoiseB turquoiseb@... wrote: Feeling for those of us who so blazed across the sky like comet-fingers pointing to the far edges of possibility, and of human talent, only to burn out before reaching them... http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/02/02/philip-seymour-hoffman-de_n_4\ http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/02/02/philip-seymour-hoffman-de_n_4\ 713597.html? http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/02/02/philip-seymour-hoffman-de_n_\ http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/02/02/philip-seymour-hoffman-de_n_\ 4713597.html?

[FairfieldLife] HC grants bail to Girish Verma

Justice NK Gupta granted bail. Earlier, Bhopal and Session’s court had denied bail to him. Verma, also the chairman of Maharishi Vidya Mandir School Group, was arrested on December 29, 2013 on the complaint filed by the victim a few months back. He was charged under sections 376 ( rape) and 506 ( criminal intimidation) of IPC. Verma was initially sent in police custody till January 1, 2014. Thereafter he was sent to judicial custody. Court of additional district judge Sayeda Bano Rehman had rejected the bail plea on January 3, 2014.Deference counsel Vijay Chaudhary, interacting with media, said, “ High Court considered our plea that the case was reported quite late.

Varma was arrested on December 29 for allegedly raping a former school teacher of Maharishi Vidya Mandir School for around 15 years and was sent to jail on judicial remand on December 1. Varma spent most of this time in jail's hospital. For close to 10 days, he was kept in a barrack with 29 other under-trials, but was later shifted to hospital after her complained of blood pressure and increased sugar level. A team of senior lawyers was trying for Varma's release since his arrest. But his bail application was cancelled twice in district and high court before it was finally granted on January 30. Varma was greeted with handful of supporters outside the jail. After he came out the jail, he preferred not to interact with the media. (what a relief.. according to telephone call:police was first afraid to take him in custody because feared strong resistance by heavy guarded home and then violant demonstration by supporter-IMHO an embarrassing misinformed picture and mind set of our movement at least in the moment you hear it) The complainant's husband said he would move Supreme Court in a day or two to challenge the bail granted to him. wonder where this hate comes from

Someone should advise her to take up meditation to keep her calm and to perform what she has to do.
Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Amanda Knox is Found Guilty Again
Salyavin, One doesn't really need jyotish to figure out the possibilities in this case. Amanda Knox still can appeal the current verdict in Italy, which I believe can be reversed by pure logic alone. She can also appeal to the US government to deny the extradition request from Italy due to human rights violation. Further, if those alternatives don't work, she can sue the Italian judges at the Hague for human rights violation and apartheid. With all of these appeals, she can tie up any proceedings that would extradite her back to Italy. And it's also very clear that she will have challenging times ahead of her. But she has no choice but to fight for her rights. Given that she has several weaknesses in her chart, she needs the support of Nature to get her through this ordeal. She should start meditating, if she has not already done so.
