Cognitive dissonance is a bit of an understatement I think. I think it's the creationists that have to figure out the work-around. Maybe they can invent a sort of reality-masking helmet they can wear that isolates them from inconvenient facts. Something like this maybe: http://www.iainclaridge.co.uk/blog/8786 It keeps them alive but shields them from anything that might upset their highly strange worldview. And maybe we can do our bit by banning people wearing these from museums lest they wander into walls and hurt themselves... I have some customers who belong to strict denominations but are mainstream in most other ways. Boy, do I steer the topic of conversation away from this issue, should it ever veer in that direction. I don't know anyone like that - maybe the Jehova's witnesses that knock on the door do but I don't invite them in to chat about it. I think if I did I'd be probing them to find out how they cope with the general acceptance of the rest of society about things like dinosaurs. They are creative though, I was reading that they want a different type of science for studying the past. Apparently they are happy with the scientific method used for medicine and technology (except stem cells probably) but want something that takes evidence from religious writing into account for the study of history. Obviously ridiculous, in order to fit geology in with creationism you'd have to pretend you everything was younger than it looks. For Hindoos you'd have to pretend it's older than it looks and for Buddhists we'd have to pretend that it doesn't exist at all. I don't know what the Scientologists are going to demand. It's all a bit silly really. Sometimes you've just got to face up to the facts and admit you were wrong but apparently creationism is popular in America. Thank god you guys are serious about keeping state and church separate. I was invited to a country wedding of such a customer/friend recently. We had a great time. The groom had his gun tucked in his belt behind his back, and the pastor officiating made it a strong point that the earth was only 6000 years old. She of course was about five months pregnant. It was the second marriage for both. (maybe her third) The dinner served was the crispy chicken that you usually get at gas stations. This guy is a true country boy and we've been friends for a long time. And, the dude is smart. There's no denying these people can be smart, the creationist scientists put a lot of thought into how they can disprove everyone else.

Each to their own POV but it's easier to disprove Biblical creation than it is the tooth fairy. Everyone knows there are trees demonstrably older than 6,000 years.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Creationists thwart mammoth bid!
Well, the main paper seems to ignore all but the most blatant and egregious
enormities of the local politicians. The capitol city's current mayor Steve
Benjamin replaced Bob Coble who was by all accounts one crooked sob. But
Benjamin, the first black mayor ever of Columbia, SC has the distinction of
starting his tenure with putting a woman in the hospital. The night he won the
election he apparently stayed up all night celebrating and then at about 5:30
am he was on his way to an interview when he rammed the car of a waitress who
had just gotten off work. The accident put her in the hospital in critical
condition.
The city cops who investigated refused to turn the investigation over to the
state police, even though they technically were investigating their own boss.
They also issued a ticket to the woman who was driving uninsured. Witnesses
told the police and the news media that the mayor had been driving without his
headlights on (it was fully dark at the time). The cops never administered a
breathalyzer test, they also did not initially charge Benjamin with driving in
the dark with no lights. He denied having done so for a while, then said he
did. Other witnesses also said Benjamin was texting on a blackberry device at
the time of the accident, but he has never admitted it. Eventually he agreed to
an undisclosed settlement with the woman.
He has also made it clear that whoever puts money in his pocket gets city
contracts etc.
As to separation of church and state, the governor of SC Nikki Haley is an
Indian woman her parents are Sikhs and she was raised as a Sikh. But when she
married her white bread husband she claims to have embraced Jay-sus. Religion
was a big issue in the election and her behavior since then has shown that she
can out Bush George W. Bush. I assure you that this woman will run for US
President one day. She might even win.

[FairfieldLife] Movie review: In Your Eyes
This is pretty much a given for me in terms of requiring a review here on FFL. It's a small, independent film that just debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival, and then went straight to electronic distribution. I can even tell you where you can watch it, for only five bucks: hhttp://inyoureyesmovie.com/ I've been waiting for it for some time, not because of its director, who I really don't know all that well, but because of its writer. That writer is Joss Whedon. Joss' work has always been full of great love stories -- from Buffy and Angel to the near-classic romance between Mal and Inara in Firefly or the just-as-classic love stories between Echo and Paul and between Sierra and Victor in Dollhouse. Joss even recently reworked one of the great romantic works of literature with his version of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. But in all of these films, the romance was just a suburb of the main story, much of the rest of it being really about other things. So what would happen, many Joss Whedon fanboys have always wondered, if he actually sat down and tried to write a love story that was about nothing but being a love story? What would he write? Would it be a normal love story, or would it be a JOSS love story, and thus possibly reflect his by-now signature 'way out of the box thinking? The answer to this koan is In Your Eyes, written by Joss Whedon and directed by Brin Hill. In it, Rebecca (played by Zoe Kazan...yes, granddaughter of Elia Kazan, who has inherited all of her family's talent) and Dylan (Michael Stahl-David...not movie business royalty, but just as talented) play two people who have never met, but who have been in each other's heads since they were five years old. She lives as an upscale doctor's wife in New Hampshire. He lives an ex-con's life in a trailer in New Mexico. But they share a strong and mutual psychic bond, such that they have been feeling each other's thoughts and moods and even seeing the things that the other has been seeing for all the years since. Finally, they get in touch, introduce themselves, and start a series of telepathic conversations. In one of their early transcontinental telepathic get-togethers, once they figure out that they've been in touch like this since they were young, in response to one of Dylan's reminiscences about his past Rebecca explains that the cause of one of the bleaker periods of his teens was her having gotten dumped by her dick of a first boyfriend. You owe me a July, he says. She then apologizes for putting him through the resulting shared trauma, and says, Sorry if I ruined your summer. Dylan says, No, it's cool. I was pretty used to having weird moods and stuff I couldn't explain. Rebecca says, Yeah, me too. I pretty much thought you were PMS. He replies, Yeah, a lot of people get us mixed up. This is a couple that has clearly been destined to Be Together. They riff off of each others' thoughts and emotions and senses of humor perfectly. And they can be in each others' heads any time they want. But they live thousands of miles apart. Plus, they live with other people, people who tend to notice when Dylan sets a pan on fire while cooking for a date, and Rebecca reacts so strongly while sitting at a benefit fundraising dinner with her husband thousands of miles away that she creates an incident. How does the outer world react to two people being able to talk to each other telepathically? It's a very sweet movie. I liked it. YMMV. Trailer here: http://vimeo.com/ondemand/inyoureyes

I don't speak any Indian language, but none of the English reports I have seen (including the links below) say that Girish has that kind of wealth, only that he is part of a 12-member committee that has control of that wealth (12,000 acres). And of course, if you actually look at the figures, the estimates of how much the land is worth is obviously exaggerated: the largest single item is the old Maharishi Ayurveda complex which now lies in utter disrepair.

When the masses of terminally ill patients did what Western treatment said would happened, and died by the thousands, Maharishi told the TM movement to walk away from the halls of death (or words to that effect) and the complex fell into complete ruin.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Creationists thwart mammoth bid!
Come on down here and you'll see - some of those folk like the feller that was
mentioned who was in the wedding with his pistol behind his back don't know
nuthin' about the Anglican Church, but were you to mention it to folks like
what there are around here, they would treat the idea of it with a good deal of
suspicion. Hell, in these parts Protestants don't even consider Catholics real
and proper Christians and I ain't kiddin. I also know some folk here in SC who
are members of independent churches and they don't consider anyone outside
their own church to be real Christians.

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.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Creationists thwart mammoth bid!
Actually, Episcopalianism (Anglicanism) is Protestant. But it looks too Catholic for some fundamentalists and other Protestants to be comfortable with it. My parents both came from long lines of Presbyterians. Although they weren't at all religious, they were scandalized when my father's brother converted to Episcopalianism. If I remember correctly, my uncle's second wife was Catholic. For him to convert to Catholicism would have been just too much given the family heritage, so they compromised on Episcopalianism. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, mjackson74@... wrote : Come on down here and you'll see - some of those folk like the feller that was mentioned who was in the wedding with his pistol behind his back don't know nuthin' about the Anglican Church, but were you to mention it to folks like what there are around here, they would treat the idea of it with a good deal of suspicion. Hell, in these parts Protestants don't even consider Catholics real and proper Christians and I ain't kiddin. I also know some folk here in SC who are members of independent churches and they don't consider anyone outside their own church to be real Christians.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Creationists thwart mammoth bid!
In his case, he could care less about the age of the earth. If you asked him, he'd say,I don't give a fuck. If you pressed him, he'd probably concede that 6000 years doesn't make any sense. And that's my point. Most of those strict bible believers, or those who are affiliated with them by default, seem pretty bashful about the issue. But since you asked about him, there is basically nothing he can't do electric wise. He's also a volunteer fireman, and has helped save many lives. He's also is the point man for a high profile construction crew. And he's a charming fellow. Sort of the epitome of what you expect from a country boy, in the (mostly) positive sense of the world. Oh, he also traded a gun for a retired Budweiser Clydesdale sometime back. Funny story: He invited me down to an auction he was having. It was just a bunch of junk. But the one thing, the only thing there that interested me was a Clydesdale horse shoe he had. And here I am bidding against some woman, who kept raising the bid till I dropped out. Turns out it was his mother.

Cognitive dissonance is a bit of an understatement I think. I have some customers who belong to strict denominations but are mainstream in most other ways. Boy, do I steer the topic of conversation away from this issue, should it ever veer in that direction. I was invited to a country wedding of such a customer/friend recently. We had a great time. The groom had his gun tucked in his belt behind his back, and the pastor officiating made it a strong point that the earth was only 6000 years old. She of course was about five months pregnant. It was the second marriage for both. (maybe her third) The dinner served was the crispy chicken that you usually get at gas stations. This guy is a true country boy and we've been friends for a long time. And, the dude is smart. Now that is dissonance.

Probably why these maniacs have their own natural history museum with humans and dinosaurs cavorting happily together.. Each to their own POV but it's easier to disprove Biblical creation than it is the tooth fairy. Everyone knows there are trees demonstrably older than 6,000 years.

[FairfieldLife] Does watching this symbolic wind constitute worship of Vayu?
http://hint.fm/wind/ http://hint.fm/wind/ Any representation is, yawlp, a representation. But this one GETS TO ME. It seems, (okay I'm going to say it,) alive. I'm saying watching the wind symbolically in real time might constitute worship of Vayu (or whatever dynamic of the nervous system that is iteratively resonant with the values of nature that are symbolized by the concept: Vayu.) The wind is a phenomenon of nature that's older than life on earth and must perforce be something with which ALL sentience is necessarily attuned -- if only for the survival benefits. A very deep DNA code-dynamic must be dedicated to managing the individual's awareness of the importance of air/water movement. I wonder if looking at this Web page triggers or excites or activates communion or unity-type experiences.. It's a good bet, methinks, that we're all built from the ground up to be able to become more attuned with everything if we but get jiggy with almost any universal phenomenon. Looking at a fire, or candle or ? -- all can be said to be a worship of some sort. Anyone want to discuss?

Well, is wind not the same as prana, and there are different pranas at work in the body. I consider the workings of prana to be an unexplored area of physiology.
