Dunno anything about Girish Varma except that many people who are hostile to Maharishi are also hostile to him. The accusation of rape is interesting because the behavior allegedly lasted for about 15 years, and involved the wife of his assistant being invited to accompany her husband on trips so that Varma would be able to access the room of the husband and wife whenever he wanted while the husband was doing errands for Varma. According to the wife, this allowed Varma to have sex with her over a period of 15 years whenever her husband went out. The wife kept her mouth shut on the threat that her husband and she would lose their jobs if she said anything. The husband says that he knew nothing of the arrangement until about a year or so ago when he was fired, and his wife was fired, thereupon she confessed the arrangement to him and they went to the police. This is India we are talking about, so I nave no idea how plausible the scenario is within that culture. L

This is India we are talking about, so I nave no idea how plausible the scenario is within that culture. I don't think that this scenario is in any way culture-dependent (meaning related to the country it takes place in). It's culture-dependent in terms of spiritual group culture in which there is a teacher or leader in charge of the organization whose word is perceived as law, if not the word of God. I've heard of and seen this scenario acted out in *dozens* of spiritual groups. The teacher (usually male) seduces the wife of a guy who is *also* his devotee, and conducts a clandestine affair with her. It's as if the teachers who do this get as much pleasure from deceiving the guy as they do from screwing the gal. In many cases, the teachers do this *openly*, making the husband accept it as a test of faith. I've even heard of a couple of female teachers who did exactly the same thing, forcing the wives of the male students they were screwing to accept it or leave. If I remember correctly, you've never spent any time on the *inside* of a cult-like group, Lawson. If you had, you'd know how common this is. And you'd also be closer to realizing that the teachers who run this number are slimeballs for whom no possible excuse can be made. It's an *abuse of trust* issue. They're taking advantage of people who have been indoctrinated to believe that they can do no wrong. IMO they should be tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail. When it comes to Girish Varma, IMO anyone who couldn't just look at photos of him and see what a slimeball he was, even before this happened, is more than a little light in the loafers, discrimination-wise. The guy is positively icky.

Nope this WAS the plan all along - to use the idea of enlightenment and whatever else would sell to get rich, be held up as a god and get laid as often as possible - Girish is just following in his uncle's footsteps. As usual the reality of what the TM leaders produces is very different than what they blabber about and sell to the willing to believe crowd who themselves keep getting weirder and weirder - things like believing that MArshy was the incarnation of Shiva and even our very of FFL'ers Buck, NAbby and a couple others claiming the Ukraine and surrounding areas situation was created by Marshy's plan and all the purusha and yogic flyers. You might note that none of them responded to my last post on the latest news of Jews being ordered to register, murders and so forth - they can't stand to look at what is supposed to be the accomplishments of the TMO in the light of day cause it is mighty ugly when you see it without blinders on. Not that the Ukraine situation actually WAS in any way caused by purusha (at least I hope not). Just more of their need to create fantasy about what TM will do.

Just as a followup, Lawson, if you feel like it, I'd love to know what you meant by interesting in your second sentence above. Is it not rape if it took place over a period of 15 years? Is it not rape if she obviously consented, if only as the result of coercion and threats that she and her husband would lose their jobs? Having seen the incredibly destructive results of such goings-on in many spiritual organizations over the years, I've become pretty hard core about the issue. I see almost ANY sexual relations between a spiritual teacher who holds a position of authority over one of his or her own students and that student as a form of rape. Coercion is *implied* in such a situation. The teacher holds a position of power over the student. If the student feels strongly about the study she or he has engaged in, and the teacher has the power to remove them from that study, they're being coerced to say Yes to whatever the teacher asks of them, just to stay in the group. Throw into the mix the fact that many students in spiritual organizations have been conditioned to believe that the teacher basically can do no wrong because he or she is in tune with the laws of nature or enlightened. To such a person, saying No is not an option because they've been taught that to utter that syllable when their teacher asks something of them is adharmic, and thus something they can't even conceive of saying. Add to this the fact that the slimeball in question has had the audacity to refer to himself as *Brahmacharya* Girish Varma for all of the 15 years he's been banging his student/employee's wife, and IMO you definitely have rape. In India, however, where judges can be bought for less than the price of a new car and many of them don't even have to be bought because they're disciples of the spiritual teacher being accused of something, justice rarely prevails. Girish will probably go scot-free. Just as Satya Sai Baba, whose exploits as a serial child molester couldn't have *been* more well-documented, escaped any kind of prosecution during his (sorry) life. Shit happens. But one of the reasons it *continues* to happen is that the other students, who in many cases have seen this happening with their fellow students, pretend not to see it in order to preserve their unwarranted view of the holiness of their spiritual teacher. It's very much the same mindset that allowed Catholic priests to molest children and adults for centuries without doing anything about it. The problem with India seems to be that this cult mindset extends to include many of the most powerful people in law and government.
[FairfieldLife] The Case for Spiritual Pragmatism
I'm taking a short break from work, and thought I'd spend a few minutes on this sunny afternoon rapping about one of the things I like about some Buddhists I've met. Despite what Nabby says, I'm not actually a Buddhist myself. I couldn't be, because I don't even agree with the first of its Four Noble Truths. But I have met many Buddhists over the years (definitely *not* including the Rama/Fred Lenz guy, who only called himself a Buddhist), and one thing strikes me about the best of them is that they're pragmatic. The historical Buddha reputedly refused to be drawn into discussions of or arguments about the How and Why of things. He considered it a waste of time. His focus was on the What of things -- what is happening, right now, here, in the moment? In his view, it didn't really help to ponder How the events in this moment happened or Why they happened. Whatever you come up with will be only one view of the moment, and it won't really help you to deal with the moment itself. Better to focus, in his opinion, on the moment itself, and surfing it gracefully. I'm kinda drawn that way myself, which is why some aspects of Buddhism appeal to me. The cool Buddhists I've known don't really spend much time pondering theories of How or Why things happen. They just deal with the What of things, as they happen. And y'know, most of the time they're more *effective* at dealing with the moment than those who are off on the sidelines somewhere trying to figure out Why it happened or How. By the time they come up with an explanation that they can settle for, the moment has passed and they've lost their chance to deal with it at all. That's all. Now Nabby can go ballistic because someone mentioned Buddhists. :-)

[FairfieldLife] Some Nice Points If You Have An Animal (or human) in Your LIfe
If you are standing next to your horse and he looks away, do you think he’s distracted or even disrespectful? When your horse yawns, is he sleepy or bored? If he moves slowly, is he lazy? These are important cues from your horse, are you hearing him correctly? When it comes to communicating with horses, some humans are a bit like a self-obsessed rock star who throws a temper tantrum and trashes the room, but then assumes everyone wants his autograph. By equine standards, we ignore those around us and begin by screaming bloody-murder and escalate from there. Part of respecting a horse is remembering that their senses are much keener than ours. We can whisper. It is just like man’s vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions. ~Mark Twain. Horses give us calming signals, just like dogs. Norwegian dog trainer and behaviorist Turid Rugaas wrote about it in 2005. She coined the phrase calming signals to describe the social skills, or body language, that dogs use to avoid conflict, invite play, and communicate a wide range of information to other dogs. Calming signals in horses are somewhat similar and include looking away, having lateral ears, yawning, stretching down, licking lips or eating to calm themselves. Can you recognize them? Calming cues communicate stress, and at the same time, release stress. It is modeling behavior for us; they want us to drop our stress level, or aggressiveness as well. When a horse looks away, either with his eyes or whole head and neck, it is a calming cue. He uses a signal like this when he feels pressured and wants the rider to know he senses the person’s agitation or aggression, but that person can calm down because he is no threat to the human. In the horse’s mind, he is communicating clearly and with respect. Do you pull his head back and force his position? It’s human nature to turn up our volume if we think we aren’t being heard and maybe the hardest thing about listening to calming signals is that they kind of poke our dominant parts. So when the horse signals us to be less aggressive, but we mistakenly hear it as boredom or distraction or even disobedience, and then follow that up with a larger cue, we’re starting a fight. We’re letting the horse know we choose aggression over peace. Is that what you meant to say? Or is the appropriate positive response from a good leader to de-escalate the situation? It is just like man’s vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions. ~Mark Twain. (It deserves repeating.) If riders want to understand the language of horses, we need stop seeing our horses in our own worst image (lazy or distracted) and begin a conversation where we listen more openly, more honestly. It’s much too simplistic to lump everything a horse does into either dominant or submissive behavior. Herd life has much more nuance than that. As social animals, they work to get along, encouraging others to cooperate. Even dominant boss mares give calming cues. We can build trust with the horse if we learn to respect calming signals, and even reward them. In my training, the best calming signal I have is my breath. I can slow it down, emphasize the exhale, and just be still at the end. Using our breath is a huge aid that horses pay attention to, so much more than humans realize. Each time I start work with a horse, I ask for his eye, using my eye. I want him to volunteer. If my horse looks away, I take a deep breath, acknowledge the moment, and go slow. Usually on my second or third breath, he’ll look back and tell me he’s ready. It’s a short wait, compared to putting fear or resistance in that eye. Reading horse body language takes some quiet time to learn, and they aren’t all exactly alike. Some horses are so shut down, so overwhelmed by us pounding on them in the past, that they have no calming cues at all, but you can remind him. Calming is a good thing, no matter who cues it. If you are thinking of tuning up your communication skills with your horse, I really recommend ground work. It’s my favorite thing about the Horse Agility we do here at Infinity Farm in the summer. Obstacles are great conversation starters with a horse, and if the human can get past needing to dominate the obstacle, communication can be eloquent, with understanding and a healthy give-and-take reasoning. And it all translates to the saddle later. Now that I think about it, when I meet someone who is loud or aggressive, I tend to look away, too. Sometimes I turn my shoulders sideways and don’t make eye contact. I notice I don’t like aggressive people crowding me and talking loud either. This is about the time I become aware that I do groundwork with humans as often as I do horses. Maybe the real reason we shouldn’t humanize horses is because they had it right in the first place.

He simply dismisses it all as if he has it all figured out and would never consider any other possibility for how this existence is structured. In other words, he has closed himself off as if he was deaf, dumb and blind. Ann, there doesn't seem to be anyone here who feels the need to proclaim more loudly, I Am An Atheist than Barry. But in practice and belief, he seems more a classic theist. And perhaps this causes him some degree of cognitive dissonance. I say this because he seems to believe in an underlying intelligence. (classic theism) He believes in rebirth, and surfing along on the Bardo. (standard Buddhist beliefs). He doesn't want to take a stab at explaining how rebirth and the bardo might play out, preferring to use a blanket explanation that it plays out automatically, not realizing that automatically does not preclude a precise intelligence at work. But I think the perceived renegade status he gets by stating he is an atheist is too hard for him to pass up. Even if he would be denied card carrying status. The other atheist here, at least seem more comfortable in that belief, (or non belief, I guess), and don't feel the need to repeatedly make that declaration. God Forbid, don't ask him to explain anything. That said, I do like him. You see, Ido believe there is something akin to God but this is what I have come to as a result of living for 57 years and having experienced what I have experienced. I will take experience over argument or debate (although these are both good things) but it does not seem that I can come to any other conclusion based on brilliant yet unprovable theories espoused through dialogue. What I know is that life is big, mysterious and extraordinarily beautiful and horrific at the same time. However, I think underneath it all lies an infinitely embracing love and glorious perfection that virtually no one is privy to while we still live and breath here on Earth. So, debate away, compare ideas of great and not so great thinkers but I'll be out in the field stirring up dandelion fluff or inhaling the dander from some horse I'm grooming. Any of these things can bring us all to the same conclusions - none of which will be provable and yet the process of trying to discover and find out about God or no God is maybe more important than the answer. --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

Calming signals in horses are somewhat similar and include looking away, having lateral ears, yawning, stretching down, licking lips or eating to calm themselves. Can you recognize them? Calming cues communicate stress, and at the same time, release stress. It is modeling behavior for us; they want us to drop our stress level, or aggressiveness as well. When a horse looks away, either with his eyes or whole head and neck, it is a calming cue. He uses a signal like this when he feels pressured and wants the rider to know he senses the person’s agitation or aggression, but that person can calm down because he is no threat to the human. In the horse’s mind, he is communicating clearly and with respect. Do you pull his head back and force his position? It’s human nature to turn up our volume if we think we aren’t being heard and maybe the hardest thing about listening to calming signals is that they kind of poke our dominant parts. So when the horse signals us to be less aggressive, but we mistakenly hear it as boredom or distraction or even disobedience, and then follow that up with a larger cue, we’re starting a fight. We’re letting the horse know we choose aggression over peace. Is that what you meant to say? Or is the appropriate positive response from a good leader to de-escalate the situation? It is just like man’s vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions. ~Mark Twain. (It deserves repeating.) If riders want to understand the language of horses, we need stop seeing our horses in our own worst image (lazy or distracted) and begin a conversation where we listen more openly, more honestly. It’s much too simplistic to lump everything a horse does into either dominant or submissive behavior. Herd life has much more nuance than that. As social animals, they work to get along, encouraging others to cooperate. Even dominant boss mares give calming cues. We can build trust with the horse if we learn to respect calming signals, and even reward them. In my training, the best calming signal I have is my breath. I can slow it down, emphasize the exhale, and just be still at the end. Using our breath is a huge aid that horses pay attention to, so much more than humans realize. Each time I start work with a horse, I ask for his eye, using my eye. I want him to volunteer. If my horse looks away, I take a deep breath, acknowledge the moment, and go slow. Usually on my second or third breath, he’ll look back and tell me he’s ready. It’s a short wait, compared to putting fear or resistance in that eye. Reading horse body language takes some quiet time to learn, and they aren’t all exactly alike. Some horses are so shut down, so overwhelmed by us pounding on them in the past, that they have no calming cues at all, but you can remind him. Calming is a good thing, no matter who cues it. If you are thinking of tuning up your communication skills with your horse, I really recommend ground work. It’s my favorite thing about the Horse Agility we do here at Infinity Farm in the summer. Obstacles are great conversation starters with a horse, and if the human can get past needing to dominate the obstacle, communication can be eloquent, with understanding and a healthy give-and-take reasoning. And it all translates to the saddle later. Now that I think about it, when I meet someone who is loud or aggressive, I tend to look away, too. Sometimes I turn my shoulders sideways

The wife kept her mouth shut on the threat that her husband and she would lose their jobs if she said anything.

Georgia Governor to Sign Sweeping Gun Bill 8:29 AM ET Radical new gun legislation due to be signed into law on Wednesday will allow licensed owners to carry guns in more public places than ever before, as places like churches can opt in to permit the weapons and bars can opt out if they want them banned Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal will sign into law Wednesday radical new gun legislation that will allow licensed owners to carry firearms into more public places than at any time in the past century, including government buildings, bars, and a wide variety of public places. The law, called the “Safe Carry Protection Act,” allows churches to “opt-in” to permit weapons, school districts to appoint staff carrying firearms, and requires bars to opt out if they wish to ban firearms, NBC reports. Gun owners caught at airport security checkpoints can pick up their weapons and leave with no criminal penalty. Critics have called the new legislation the “Guns Everywhere Bill,” and gun control groups including Americans for Responsible Solutions and Mayors Against Illegal Guns have strongly criticized the bill, as has the executive director of the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police, Frank Rotondo. “Police officers do not want more people carrying guns on the street,” said Rotondo, “particularly police officers in inner city areas.” Proponents of the law say, however, that it strengthens the Second Amendment and will make people safer. “When we limit a Georgian’s ability to carry a weapon — to defend themselves — we’re empowering the bad guys,” said Georgia state Rep. Rick Jasperse, who introduced the bill. Eight states have loosened gun regulations since the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn. in December 2012, while 10 states have strengthened regulations, according to the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence

You are trying to tell us you didn't know Girish was a billionaire ? I don't buy that, and if true you are more out of the loop than I imagined.

It was David Lynch who introduced her to the introspective discipline decades ago, and despite her hectic Hollywood lifestyle, she finds 20 minutes twice a day to meditate. “It’s so easy to get caught up in the stuff that stresses you out,” she explains, “but it’s a great thing that you can remind yourself there’s a peaceful, beautiful place inside you that you can go to anytime you want.” Read more: http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv-movies/heather-graham-brings-sexy-quirky-charm-californication-article-1.1759945#ixzz2zkZiti9N http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv-movies/heather-graham-brings-sexy-quirky-charm-californication-article-1.1759945#ixzz2zkZiti9N

[FairfieldLife] Re: In Transcendentalism,
BLESS THIS GLORIOUS PLANET AND ALL THAT LIVE UPON IT. In Genesis we read, “In the beginning, of the Unified Field came the heavens and the earth … Then in vibration the Unified Field Transcendent felt, ‘Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land’ … in Self-referral the Unified Field saw all that it had made in natural law, and it was very good.” Today we express our deep gratitude to the Unified Field Transcendent for this planet and all its glory. To show our appreciation, we take care of our earthly home, start to garden, plant a tree, or pick up garbage around our community, enjoy a walk in nature or meditate at sunrise and at sunset. We bless the Earth by caring for it and respecting its delicate balance, which allows all life to coexist in harmony and flourish in abundance. Jai Guru Dev. Paraphrasing from Daily Word, -Buck I bow my knees before the Field, from whom every family in heaven and on earth takes its name.—Ephesians 3:14-15 REJOICE IN THE UNIFIED FIELD CHRIST TRANSCENDENT WITHIN. This Easter, rejoice in Jesus Christ for demonstrating that no worldly tomb can imprison the living, loving, eternal Unified Field. No matter what the circumstances, the resurrecting power of the Unified Field within restores and uplifts us. Thank you, Jesus Christ, for showing us the way to resurrection. Paraphrasing the Daily Word, -Buck in the Dome I am the resurrection and the life.—John 11:25 Good Friday signifies the day on which Jesus was crucified and laid in the tomb. It symbolizes the process of transformation followed by resurrection. One can see it as a time for Being in the Unified Field transcendent and enter into a higher state of consciousness as we release what no longer serves our spirit. This day we prepare for our own transformation as we enter the Silence of our Meditation. In this sacred space we go beyond anything separating us from that love of the Unified Field. At meditation in the Unified Field Transcendent, we reawaken to spiritual nature and become one with the light and life of that the indwelling Christ. One with the Christ of the Unified Field and our Being. Paraphrasing the Daily Word, -Buck in the Dome Now there was a garden in the place where he was crucified, and in the garden there was a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid.—John 19:41 My soul, be on guard; Ten thousand foes arise; The hosts of sin are pressing hard To draw thee from the skies. Om watch and meditate; The battle ne'er give o'er; Re-new it boldly ev'ry day, And help the Unified Field implore. Om watch and fight and meditate; The battle ne'er give o'er; Re-new it boldly ev'ry day, And help the Unified Field implore. Ne'er think the vic-t'ry won, Nor lay thine armor down; Thy arduous work will not be done Till thou obtain thy crown. Fight on, my soul, Till death shall bring thee home; It'll take thee, At thy parting breath, To merge in the abode of the Unified Field. -Old 1781 George Heath paraphrase When in need of guidance, go directly to the source of wisdom, the Unified Field Transcendent. Close the eyes and go into the Self. Gently release the chatter in the mind, letting thoughts drift away like faint clouds sweeping across a blue sky. Settling into this silent place of peace, find the all-knowing self-referral of the Unified Field. Recognize its wisdom as an inner knowing and feeling of peace in renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the will of the Unified Field -what is good and acceptable and perfect. -Paraphrasing from Daily Word Jai Guru Dev, -Buck Welcome all ye friends of the Transcendent, Welcome to the meditation. Venture wholly on the Unified Field Come and with Its people go. Om, Yet we come in common duty, Down beneath the waves we go; Om the bliss, the heavenly beauty, The Unified Field is experienced so. Om Come, ye meditators of the Global Country, Follow It beneath the wave. Meditate, an' Know the Transcendent, Resurrected proclaim Its power to save. -Buck, on Palm Sunday Eve Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Unified Field! Hosanna in the highest heaven!—Paraphrasing, Matthew 21:9 Palm Sunday commemorates Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem. The multitudes that awaited Jesus’ arrival cried, “Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!” The thoughts we think, the cells in our bodies, and the events in our lives are like the multitudes who waited for Jesus: Everything in us waits for the appearance of the Christ—the Spirit of God in our midst—and shouts with joy at its arrival. If, for any reason, we are discouraged or in need, we recognize the Christ Spirit as it appears in our hearts and our consciousness. We feel uplifted. Through the power of the Christ transcendent within, our lives are transformed. -paraphrasing from Daily Word, By
