Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: UFO Giant Over Colombia filmed 19. February 2014
If the American military claimed they were re-fueling 14 aircrafts simultaneously in the dead of the night above Columbia it would cause quite a stir. Do any South-American air-force have this capability, do the Russians ? That's all nonsense and you know it.
Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: UFO Giant Over Colombia filmed 19. February 2014
I'm sure any air force could do it. What's the alternative explanation given that the refuelling idea ticks all the boxes and is known to have been responsible for a great many UFO sightings? If we knew what direction they were headed we might be able to work out where they came from and where they were going. Guantanamo? Ascension? Turkey? US have bases everywhere. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, no_re...@yahoogroups.com wrote: If the American military claimed they were re-fueling 14 aircrafts simultaneously in the dead of the night above Columbia it would cause quite a stir.

I like many others around am willing to be convinced, but it will take more to convince me than Marshy says... or believing it cuz King Tony, Bevan or some all like Neal Patterson says it. There is no scientific validity to ANY of the so-called studies done on the so-called Maharishi Effect. I am not an idiot. If it were actually possible to create world peace in the Domes I would be living in Fairfield. You can't even create peace at the University itself, let alone Fairfield or Jefferson County. If such a thing as the Marshy Effect existed, it would have to be most powerful at the epicenter and it is not. I remember very well the infighting at MIU, the discourtesy and disparagement for example that would pass back and forth between the Israelis and the Palestinians. I remember the townie pervert who was sneaking into the girls dorm and exposing himself to them in their bathroom whilst smoking a cigar then running away (and the lame and ineffective attempts by the so-called MIU security people to try to catch him - took them weeks - of course that may have been because that jackass James Bedinger was in charge of security by then) So when you produce actual proof, more than Marshy says and a study by some Movement sycophant so-called scientist, then I will come do program in the Dome.

Meditating, “improved moral reasoning”, and moral behavior. Three different things evidently and possibly intertwined. Obviously we are born in to this wold with nature and then there is nurture. Evidently moral behavior is something developed and cultured in good upbringing. My feeling in watching is that a lot of the bad behavior that MJ in writing here for instance is so upset about in the TM community movement comes from bad upbringing and does not have so much of anything to do with whether some one meditates. It's mostly bad manners without virtue. Evidently. That's what I see, they are just being bad people for their poor upbringings and sometimes they are even immoral. Okay, that can be really bad at times on the part of some but not the normative of most folks. Just really bad upbringing. . For instance, here is two minutes on improving behavior as learned. ..

Boulding (July 6, 1920 – June 24, 2010). Boulding offers Building a Global Civic Culture: Education for an Interdependent as a holistic first step towards solving international conflicts. She envisions a “global civic culture” as not simply made of nation states but as a global community of human beings. The book enforces the idea of thinking globally on a microcosmic level to facilitate solving problems in a peaceful international order. Boulding believed that a civic world order could become a reality, while acknowledging the strife that exists now. Building a Global Civic Culture is geared toward addressing the world’s problems and offering ideas for solutions. To create peace, Boulding believes that we must all become teachers and develop new learning communities. Everyone, old and young, will teach. Age groups will teach each other from their respective generations. How we perceive events unique to our generation shapes the lens through which we each see later events. We need to know what the world looks like to young and old alike. Boulding believes all will be teachers. In order to do this, we must learn to think outside of the box. Humans are intuitive, creative animals with cognitive-analytic reasoning abilities. We as human animals can grasp complex wholes from partial sets of facts. Boulding states that for most of us, education has been tied to the maxim “stick to the facts, no need for imaginative thinking.” We are taught in school that imagination and intuition are virtues of the daydreamer, not the true student. To the contrary, Boulding states we need to harness both intuition and imagination to solve world crises. Ultimately this book encourages us to become both teachers and problem solvers and includes exercises to lead the way. Elise M. Boulding was a Quaker sociologist [many credentials], and author credited as a major contributor to creating the academic discipline of Peace and Conflict Studies. Her holistic, multidimensional approach to peace research sets her apart as an important scholar and activist in multiple fields. Her written works span several decades and range from discussion of family as a foundation for peace, to Quaker spirituality to reinventing the international “global culture”. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elise_M._Boulding#Building_a_Global_Civic_Culture http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elise_M._Boulding#Building_a_Global_Civic_Culture Evidently as practicing and experience meditators we are not alone in our experience around this. There are other mystics who see this too. -Buck in the Dome S3raphita , I feel you are being quite saintly in taking notice of the circumstance. Yep, it is just another sign of bad upbringing and the failure of our schools and society. Including fault of all those collectively standing around smirking who without initiative themselves or had the opportunity in their own lives to pursue the proper upbringing of virtue of spiritual life themselves and all those who who may know better will themselves not going out even on a limb to help anyone other than themselves in their own material world of widget worth. I sense saintly virtue in you that you would even notice the collective failure in this incident in this poor unlucky youth.

“Expansion of happiness is the purpose of life, and evolution is the process by which it is fulfilled. Life begins in a natural way, it evolves, and happiness expands. The expansion of happiness carries with it the growth of intelligence, power, creativity and everything that may be said to be of significance in life.” -The Science of Being and Art of Living -Maharishi Mahesh Yogi [1963] There is a principle which is pure, placed in the human mind, which in different places and ages hath had different names. It is, however, pure and proceeds from God (the Unified Field). It is deep and inward, confined to no forms of religion nor excluded from any, where the heart stands in perfect sincerity. In whomsoever this takes root and grows, of what nation soever, they become brethren. -John Woolman, Quaker “Today, with the discovery that within every brain physiology are tremendous powers, the world today is different than the world of yesterday. All those powers that are administering the individual life are those powers which together are administering the whole universe. That higher power can be enlivened in the brains of people in every nation, and this will free the life of every country from suffering, problems, and failures. Just free it and free it and free it. For this, we have Maharishi Open University. It will open the treasures of bliss, happiness, and energy that are there inside of everyone.” -Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, July 9, 1998, Guru Purnima Nablusoss1008 writes: “The important thing is this: to be able, at any moment, to sacrifice what we are for what we could become” - Maharishi Mahesh Yogi - we as individuals and we the peoples, humanity. When humanity collectively (more or less) are willing to sacrifice our past for what we can become, then we stand at an important threshold; The Rising Sun of The Age of Enlightenment. This is what Masters are urging and inspiring us to become; a true humanity, brothers. All the Saints, the messengers of Godhead throughout recorded history gave voice to the same thing.

[FairfieldLife] A Tribute to Nelson Mandela
A tribute to Nelson Mandela, 1918-2013 Benjamin Creme writes: I would like to remind readers of the extraordinary part played by Maitreya, the World Teacher, in the events leading to the release from prison of Nelson Mandela in 1990 after 27 years incarceration (as reported in Share International, Jan/Feb 2008). In September 1988 Share International announced, in the magazine and in a news release to world media, that we had received information from Maitreya that Nelson Mandela “would be released soon”. When President de Klerk first became president of South Africa, Maitreya entered Mandela’s prison and asked him to write to the President requesting a meeting. Mandela laughed and said: “I cannot even get a meeting with the prison governor, let alone the President of the Republic”. Maitreya said: “Yes I know. But write the letter anyway and I will do the rest.” Mandela duly wrote to de Klerk on the day of his inauguration in August 1989. Maitreya approached the President while he was at prayer, and put in his mind that the time had come to end apartheid in South Africa. The President was a religious man, a sincere Christian, and took it to heart. He ‘talked to God’, asking what he should do and received the answer: ‘the time has come to end apartheid’. In December 1989 Mandela and de Klerk met and on 2 February 1990 de Klerk dramatically announced in Parliament the dismantling of apartheid and the unconditional release of Mandela from prison. There had been contacts with the former President, P.W. Botha, before and after his stroke in 1989 but the crucial instigating factor for Mandela’s release was this intervention by Maitreya. People have asked me over the years why Mandela never spoke of this event. Personally, I am not at all surprised. Had he done so no one from the media would have believed him (any more than they believe me about Maitreya’s return). I have no doubt that Mandela thought that he had been visited in prison by Jesus Christ. Had he made this known he would have been laughed at and probably discredited; the Christ is generally believed to be a disembodied entity sitting in ‘heaven’, whereas Maitreya is a physical, knowable and accessible person. Nevertheless my information is that Mandela wrote an account of this meeting and left copies to trusted friends. Mandela has been heralded as an extraordinary being who, after incarceration for 27 years came out of prison not longing for revenge but speaking of forgiveness, reconciliation and love. This has made him respected throughout the world. I have no doubt that this policy of rapprochement and reconciliation was inspired in him by Maitreya. Let us hope that Mandela’s example will inspire other world leaders to take a similar approach of forgiveness and restraint. A tribute to Mandela by Roelof Frederik ‘Pik’ Botha, former foreign minister in P.W. Botha’s government, concludes with a fitting plea to the world to honour Mandela’s legacy: “His death is irreversible, his legacy, undying. All of us, the government, the voters, civil society, the churches, are faced with an inescapable challenge: are we going to honor and sustain his legacy or deviate from it? Indeed, leaders across the globe ought to reflect on his legacy – particularly while they have the option to resolve disputes through peaceful negotiations instead of violence; abolish all nuclear devices or retain them to destroy our planet; take the quantum leap required to avert the lethal consequences of climate change and the depletion of the planet’s natural resources or enjoy our daily greed to such an extent that it forbids us to preserve our planet for our children to survive.” Q. Please can you give the ray-structure and point of evolution of Nelson Mandela (1918-2013), former President of South Africa? A. Soul: 2; Personality: 4 (6); Mental: 3 (7); Astral: 4 (6); Physical: 7 (7). Point of Evolution: 2. Q. Did Nelson Mandela meet Maitreya more than once? A. No. Q. Was Nelson Mandela’s forgiveness and his desire for reconciliation, which was so much part of his political ethos, inspired by Maitreya? A. Yes. Maitreya told him at the meeting that he should forgive and forget the ills of the past: that there had to be reconciling, forbearing and a need to halt all disruptive action of the ANC. Apart from the quality of the man, it was the direct inspiration of Maitreya that made reconciliation a cardinal point in his approach to the white minority government. Maitreya assured him that this was the only way to a peaceful future in South Africa.

That's the whole point to doing TM, improving your life. If one has bad upbringing, then TM can make you a better person. Why do you think the David Lynch leeches are pushing so hard to get TM to the AT RISK populations, especially the young ones??? To, among other things, counteract BAD UPBRINGING! So if bad upbringing can't be negated or improved by regular practice of TM, what good is the practice? You have hoist yourself on your own petard, Buck.

She envisions a “global civic culture” as not simply made of nation states but as a global community of human beings. The book enforces the idea of thinking globally on a microcosmic level to facilitate solving problems in a peaceful international order. Boulding believed that a civic world order could become a reality, while acknowledging the strife that exists now.

[FairfieldLife] RE: Empathy versus cruelty
RW, Essentially yes. Well, that sentence you quote of me was about more the bad behavior of some in the long history of the TM movement as it was about MJ coincidentally. But yes, what we are seeing here is a distinction between meditating, and bad up-brings and behavior. Evidently social behavior may be different or separate from whether someone is a meditator or not. Meditating as the sadhana of character is different from some published papers reporting around TM and some “improved moral reasoning” and some manifest behavior. So it is quite likely that MJ is right and is also essentially predisposed the way he is persisting as he does 'against TM', separate from or regardless whether he was a meditator or not. Now, more fundamentally interesting is that virtuous behavior otherwise has spiritually much more to do with ones total effectiveness as a meditator or spiritual practitioner overall. Virtue vs. sin in spirituality is quite evidently a different system more specifically related to the subtle system of the whole human body-mind complex of consciousness, the subtle bodies of character and soul/Atman. Behavior that lacks virtue [is without transformative shakti] is related more to character flaw as being unable to receive love as in a lack of mastering of taking in the flowing shakti vector of love of the Unified Field and giving its transmission. In character that comes in dropping in to the heart of the matter spiritually and deciding on a soul level to take it as a condition of congruence between the character and soul. Reclaiming character this way is the Sadhana of the light body. The integrity of virtue is the virtue of integrity. Core spiritual values matter most in the refinement. Fortunately the heart likes of be effective but also has the capacity to forgive itself with compassion. The development of the lite-body is the sadhana of this buoyancy and the depth of character is fueled by buoyancy of core values of virtue and that matters most. Seize the day, life is for the living while you have it.

Well, that sentence you quote of me was about more the bad behavior of some in the long history of the TM movement as it was about MJ coincidentally. But yes, what we are seeing here is a distinction between meditating, and bad up-brings and behavior. Evidently social behavior may be different or separate from whether someone is a meditator or not. Meditating as the sadhana of character is different from some published papers reporting around TM and some “improved moral reasoning” and some manifest behavior. So it is quite likely that MJ is right and is also essentially predisposed the way he is persisting as he does 'against TM', separate from or regardless whether he was a meditator or not. Now, more fundamentally interesting is that virtuous behavior otherwise has spiritually much more to do with ones total effectiveness as a meditator or spiritual practitioner overall. Virtue vs. sin in spirituality is quite evidently a different system more specifically related to the subtle system of the whole human body-mind complex of consciousness, the subtle bodies of character and soul/Atman. Behavior that lacks virtue [is without transformative shakti] is related more to character flaw as being unable to receive love as in a lack of mastering of taking in the flowing shakti vector of love of the Unified Field and giving its transmission. In character that comes in dropping in to the heart of the matter spiritually and deciding on a soul level to take it as a condition of congruence between the character and soul. Reclaiming character this way is the Sadhana of the light body. The integrity of virtue is the virtue of integrity. Core spiritual values matter most in the refinement. Fortunately the heart likes of be effective but also has the capacity to forgive itself with compassion. The development of the lite-body is the sadhana of this buoyancy and the depth of character is fueled by buoyancy of core values of virtue and that matters most. Seize the day, life is for the living while you have it. That is my experience with it, -Buck RWwrote: bad behavior that MJ in writing here for instance is so upset about in the TM community movement comes from bad upbringing and does not have so much of anything to do with whether some one meditates So, you're thinking MJ would be the same kind of guy even if he had never tried TM?

John Hagelin and Bevan Morris: Instruction of new TM meditators is way up and growing consistently despite any bad past. As we were long ago told, '. .the past is a lesser state of evolution', this seems could be true. We are productively moving forward. TM in nature now as a corporate organizational movement sect incorporating meditation, modern science and vedic science and now in its post-charismatic founder phase is moving manifestly forward again in good order.It is going well again. Will you come with us and move forward with us? So, are you with us or are you against us in this? Are you with us or are you against us moving forward? It is time to move forward or at the least be 'silent' and get out of the way if you can't actively be helpful. There is a great need for teachers of meditation right now in many places. The news is quite good around TM and spiritual regeneration using meditation, modern science and vedic science together in the world.Yours in Revolution, -U.S. Buck in the Dome One can conceive of gradients in spectrum of cults and sects. Paired data-points on Cartesian axis: Like on one scale have it run from a low end of immoral-sociopathic-NPDisordered then to highly transformative moral and spiritual at the top of that scale. That could work for sorting individuals or movement organizations. On the other, 2nd axis have a scale of types of teachers or their organizations that run from just authors or lecturers, to sadhus, swamis, gurus, sat gurus, jagad gurus, saints and avatars at the top end. X-Y axis. Draw it and then place your person organization cult or sect vs the type of teacher or saint. . as a dot placed on the graph. Knapp for instance, being in the news again here on FFL may appear to be down at the low of each scale on the graph. That placement can change according to time and event horizon too. Even can work to plot dynamic life-cycle of someone's spiritual teaching or organization through time. Play with it. -Buck DoctorDA writes: As far as the long time habit, and progression, of expanding one's awareness, through meditation, it has nothing to do with achieving signposts, or escaping this world, or acting like either an asshole or a saint.

I had an account there for years to comment though I didn't post comments very often. So the last time I tried to post a comment they wanted to verify it with my Facebook account. Dumb woman, doesn't understand that not all of use want to be on Facebutt. Arianna, like Bill Maher, is a limousine liberal who espouses liberal views for the money but probably vote conservative in a heartbeat if it suits their pocketbook.

The description of a troll posted by the two Barry's and Judy don't seem to match the one described in the report. Why do you suppose they would be so insecure that they would post fibs about trolls on FFL? Where is Dr Pete when we need him? Go figure. Sociopathic, sadistic, narcissistic, cruel by nature, highly unpleasant to be around. They love to cause pain. They delight in ruining the
