[FairfieldLife] Michael Winterbottom and Russell Brand to make economics documentary
Michael Winterbottom and Russell Brand to make economics documentary The film-maker and the comedian have begun shooting Emperor’s New Clothes, which aims to explore how social inequalities contributed to the financial crisis Ben Child Tuesday 28 October 2014 04.26 EDT Russell Brand and Michael Winterbottom will unite for the political documentary The Emperor’s New Clothes, billed as an exposé of the social inequities which led to the financial crisis. Winterbottom will direct a film that is expected to combine comedy, archive footage and interviews to show how “the people at the bottom are paying for the luxuries of those at the top”, according to backers StudioCanal. Brand will take the role of presenter-spectator, examining the crisis at financial centres in cities such as London and New York. The Essex-born comic has taken a break from a budding Hollywood career to focus on his own unique brand of political activism and recently published the book Revolution, advocating the demise of “corporate tyranny, ecological irresponsibility and economic inequality”. Brand recently denied reports he was to run for mayor of London when incumbent Boris Johnson steps down in 2016. Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Front Row last week, Winterbottom said of the film: “It’s about inequality and why the 1% seem to have so much and the rest of us not quite so much. Everyone knows about equality and what’s going on in the world, so the idea is to point out the ludicrous extremes of our society.” The Emperor’s New Clothes is due to be unveiled at the American Film Market in Santa Monica next week. The film began shooting earlier this month, according to Winterbottom, known for films such as 24 Hour Party People, In This World and The Road to Guantánamo. The acclaimed English film-maker recently premiered The Face of an Angel, which was inspired by the media furore around the killing of English student Meredith Kercher, at the Toronto film festival. http://www.theguardian.com/film/2014/oct/28/russell-brand-michael-winterbottom-make-economics-documentary?CMP=ema_565 Michael Winterbottom and Russell Brand to make ... http://www.theguardian.com/film/2014/oct/28/russell-brand-michael-winterbottom-make-economics-documentary?CMP=ema_565 The film-maker and the comedian have begun shooting Emperor’s New Cl... http://www.theguardian.com/film/2014/oct/28/russell-brand-michael-winterbottom-make-economics-documentary?CMP=ema_565 Preview by Yahoo

Here's some details: My real name (Barry Wright) has been known here since the first day I posted on FFL. To my relief, when I Google it I can find only one photo of myself among the hundreds that show up (largely because my real name also happens to be the name of a large racing car company). The one that shows up is a small face shot from the photo I originally posted of myself on FFL, the one taken on top of the Cathedral of Notre Dame, with me surrounded by gargoyles. Anyone who claims to have found any other photo of me (except here on FFL) is lying. I do write for publication under a number of pseudonyms, and so far cannot find a photo of myself associated with *any* of them, which I consider a badge of success. I certainly don't want the people who stalk me here (Richard Williams, Jim Flanegin, Ann, and Steve) to be able to also stalk me under any of my publication pseudonyms. Speaking of stalking, and photos, I just scrolled through the first few dozen pageloads of photos posted to Fairfield Life over the years, and to my surprise there seem to be dozens of photos there of Fred Lenz - Rama. ALL of them were posted by one of the people stalking me, Richard Williams, and not one of them by me. There are actually more photos of Rama posted there than there are of *him*, which says a lot about the extent of his obsession with me, given his narcissism and how many photos of himself he posts. I guess some people just have so little going on in their own lives that they have to obsess on the lives of the people they stalk.

[FairfieldLife] The first time I met Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
..was in Malibu, on the beach. -James Powell His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi 1911*-2008 Thursday, March 13, 2008 By James Powell The first time I met Maharishi Mahesh Yogi was in Malibu, on the beach. It was a typical summer day in Southern California. Not much was happening. There was a south swell. From time to time a sun worshiper atop a towel would flip over, a seagull would sail off into the fog, or a large set of waves would come crashing in. As I recall, I stood on the beach with some of my surfing buddies. We were probably dressed in the surfer’s uniform of the era: corduroy pants and white Penney’s T-shirts covered by Pendeltons, not tucked in. Unlike most surfers on most beaches that day, however, we each held in our hands a bouquet of flowers. Suddenly cars arrived. Doors were flung open. A cameraman emerged, and next some guys in suits. A brown, sandaled foot from within the car could be seen feeling for the ground, and then-bearded and wearing a long, flowing, white dhoti-an Indian man stepped out onto the dirt road. He seemed enveloped in a nimbus of such serenity and light that, seeing him, the effect was similar to what one feels deep in a canyon before dawn, when suddenly the sun bursts over the rim. With the camera now trained on us-the surfer-boy extras in a documentary film- Maharishi approached, clearly enjoying the eternity in each step as he floated across the sand. As he drew near, something happened that I was not at all prepared for. My soul began to swoon. In place of the crashing of the waves, which now seemed far in the distance, was an immensely beautiful sea of silent consciousness. It was, to put it mildly, simply adorable. Lost in it, I could neither speak nor move. When Maharishi tugged on my flowers, I was unable to release my grip. He looked into my eyes, touched my hand, and my fingers opened. It would be impossible to forget the blithe beauty of those eyes. He looked into each of ours, playfully. After accepting our flowers he looked out to sea, and then, regarding us again and smiling like the happiest man on earth, he asked, “Are you enjoying the ocean?” Thus began my transcendental studies-lessons such as I had never known. The classroom was the Heart; the assignment was to locate the point within where the soul loses its boundaries and becomes absorbed in something infinite. Typically, by the time Maharishi arrived at his seat in any of the countless lecture halls he spoke in around the world, he would be hugging to his chest hundreds of flowers accepted from students greeting him on his way in. And in each one of those exchanges was a moment as spiritually transforming as the one I had known on the beach. Yet, Maharishi’s aim was not to establish a personality cult. Each and every flower he accepted in each and every lecture hall he would place reverently before the image of his beloved teacher, Guru Dev, to whom he dedicated every instant of his life. And he tirelessly encouraged each of us to dive into the ocean of consciousness his Guru Dev embodied, by diving deep within our hearts during meditation. Maharishi, in speaking of his teacher, always emphasized that the events in a spiritually illumined life are not so important. What is important is the state of his or her enlightenment. So I will not list all Maharishi’s many accomplishments throughout the world. Perhaps something of his level of presence can be felt through these few words. Maharishi visited Santa Barbara on several occasions because some of his dearest friends lived here: Walter and Rae Koch, the family of Tom and Susan Headley, and Arthur and Christina Granville. Over the past few decades, teachers at Santa Barbara’s Transcendental Meditation center instructed more than 10,000 Santa Barbarans in meditation. In addition, Santa Barbara was at one time the home of the fledgling Maharishi International University, now located in Fairfield, Iowa. “Are you enjoying the ocean?” Although those were the first words I had ever heard him speak, through the years I realized that they contained his entire teaching. For Maharishi was absolutely certain of one fact: His soul was forever floating within an ocean of unbounded bliss. He was well aware that the state of life he was living was adorable, and that anyone could begin to live it. 314283If you ever loved Maharishi you will love this

Last night at my show I put percussion instruments into people's hands,many of whom had never played instruments, and certainly never at a public show. I set up a rhythm for them from Cameroon, straight 8s, sort of fast like they do in the villages there. Some people played claves, (African and Cuban), one played an amazing instrument from the Gnowa people called a krakeb which are huge metal castanets meant to symbolize how these people were brought as slaves from other parts of Africa to Morocco in slave's chains. Some played traditional bones which they were trying to figure out as they played,clicking to the simple accessible rhythm. One played the Agogo metal bell from a place in Africa where such a simple instrument can choreograph the movements of hundreds of people at a time, cutting through even the drums in syncopated messages for their feet and hips. I played a number of instruments over this community of rhythm.One was a Mvet from Cameroon, a 4 stringed lute favored by pigmies as well as the story-teller shamans in Guinea, a beautiful odd instrument amplified by large gourds on a 4 foot stick of bamboo. I played an African gourd banjo in the style of one of the last traditional black banjo players in Virgina and sang his song Roustabout. For a moment, in that urban wine bar, the barriers between audience and performer fell away as they always do in all traditional African performances. People who felt they had no rhythm or musical talent discovered that they had just had a string of shitty music teacher who had put up a wall between them and their human birthright. Strangers who would not give each other eye contact on the Metro were checking with each other without words, to make sure they were rhythmically in synch. Picking up a Brazilian berimbau, one of our planets most primitive but compelling instruments, derived from hunting bows played around the campfire of hunters and gatherers in our distant past, I sang the song I felt fit best, John Lee Hooker's I'm in the Mood. When the audience left last night some people came up and hugged me. I could see in their eyes that this was as a special night for them as it was for me. They had experienced their musical selves, without judgement, and it made them feel wonderful. So please continue, Nabbie, what was it you wanted to say.

In fact, it's dishonest to use an alias in a real online discussion. Only newbies and adolescents do that because they are trying to hide something from their parents.

Halloween seems to have always been what it is - a great way for the ghoulish and sweet-toothed in us to take advantage of being able to behave badly or at least in ways we wish we could all year round. I personally love the iconography of it, especially the older, vintage images. I festoon my house with these Victorian era items and love the macabre. My favourite bit of the whole thing is The Simpsons Halloween specials they're showing on TV every night. Yes, I have seen one or two of those when I actually get in front of a TV set which is, nowadays, never. They're great.

Very nice story about moving people Curtis, that's a rare talent not many have and I admire you for that. Doing creative stuff is about moving others, one way or the other. Personally I'm more happy if people just go some where else and let me do my creative thingies alone, I'll invite them in when later.

I've been indulgent of your reaching out and being shitty to a stranger on the internet because it has given me a chance to reflect on my career. You are showing up as you and I am showing up as me here. Last night at my show I put percussion instruments into people's hands,many of whom had never played instruments, and certainly never at a public show. I set up a rhythm for them from Cameroon, straight 8s, sort of fast like they do in the villages there. Some people played claves, (African and Cuban), one played an amazing instrument from the Gnowa people called a krakeb which are huge metal castanets meant to symbolize how these people were brought as slaves from other parts of Africa to Morocco in slave's chains. Some played traditional bones which they were trying to figure out as they played,clicking to the simple accessible rhythm. One played the Agogo metal bell from a place in Africa where such a simple instrument can choreograph the movements of hundreds of people at a time, cutting through even the drums in syncopated messages for their feet and hips. I played a number of instruments over this community of rhythm.One was a Mvet from Cameroon, a 4 stringed lute favored by pigmies as well as the story-teller shamans in Guinea, a beautiful odd instrument amplified by large gourds on a 4 foot stick of bamboo. I played an African gourd banjo in the style of one of the last traditional black banjo players in Virgina and sang his song Roustabout. For a moment, in that urban wine bar, the barriers between audience and performer fell away as they always do in all traditional African performances. People who felt they had no rhythm or musical talent discovered that they had just had a string of shitty music teacher who had put up a wall between them and their human birthright. Strangers who would not give each other eye contact on the Metro were checking with each other without words, to make sure they were rhythmically in synch. Picking up a Brazilian berimbau, one of our planets most primitive but compelling instruments, derived from hunting bows played around the campfire of hunters and gatherers in our distant past, I sang the song I felt fit best, John Lee Hooker's I'm in the Mood. When the audience left last night some people came up and hugged me. I could see in their eyes that this was as a special night for them as it was for me. They had experienced their musical selves, without judgement, and it made them feel wonderful. So please continue, Nabbie, what was it you wanted to say.

[FairfieldLife] LIFF
If I wind up posting less than normal during the next week (can I get a Hallelujah, Lord from the chorus?), it's because there seems to be a film festival in my town, only a few blocks from where I live. I think I missed it last year because I was in Paris. Leiden International Film Festival Leiden International Film Festival Leiden International Film Festival View on leidenfilmfestival.nl Preview by Yahoo There are a number of interesting films on the program that I'd like to see, and may be able to if work schedules permit. The big draw, of course, is Interstellar, Christopher Nolan's guaranteed new box office blockbuster. Given the cast and his previous work, this is probably the Big Movie of the Year, world-wide. As a result, I would imagine that all the tickets for it are already sold, and I will have to wait for the real release. I'm also somewhat interested in Miss Julie, White Bird in a Blizzard, My Old Lady, Love Is Strange (John Lithgow and Alfred Molina in the same film...as lovers...that's SO a must-see), No Man's Land, St. Vincent, Ida, The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Him and Her, Horns, Class Enemy, and The Salvation (Mads Mikkelsen in a Danish Western?...another must-see). Descriptions of all of these films (and many more) are in the program at the link. If you're too lazy to look them up, well...uh...fuck you and the weasel you rode in on. :-) A time travel flick called The Infinite Man is another must-see because it has what has to be described as one of the best How Can You Even *Think* Of Missing This Showing? film festival descriptions in the history of film festivals: In this comical time travel journey, a scientist tries to plan the perfect weekend getaway with his girlfriend. Unfortunately, things go terribly wrong, and he ends up accidentally trapping himself and his girlfriend in an infinite loop. Before the film George van Hal, editor of the magazine New Scientist, will take you on a travel through time. He will explain that time travel is not only possible, but very easily done, and that we travel through time on a daily basis without even knowing it. As a nice bonus he will educate you in all the possible paradoxes a potential time traveler might encounter. Can't miss that. :-) Updates as they happen. Or not...

[FairfieldLife] California ain't so blue anymore
Black shirt more likely. Probably like most Californians I don't pay much attention to the sample ballots that were sent out. I had already figured I would mash things up a bit by voting for third party candidates. Guess what? I can't. We now have full blown neo-Facism in California. Yup, the only candidates on the ballot for statewide election are only Democrat or Republican. These days the two are about the same: corporate shills. What to do? Vote for neither as a vote for no confidence and then encourage or organize a torch and pitchfork march on Sacramento. This article nails the problem: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ellen-brown/californias-toptwo-primar_b_5469866.html Thing is most voters may not notice this until Tuesday. I did yesterday when my vote-by-mail ballot arrived. Usually my polling place is just around the corner at one of two churches. But last spring it was almost two miles away at the Plumber's Union Hall, yet the church around the corner was a polling place probably for a precinct two miles away. See, the fascists don't want us to vote. Death to the fascists. Kuru Kuru Swaha!

So, you have fans here now ? We know this place is populated by some pretty weird souls but who would have guessed they are your fans ! M: Here in the world where people book my show which was the original context before you clipped it out to do your internet troll thing. I've been indulgent of your reaching out and being shitty to a stranger on the internet because it has given me a chance to reflect on my career. You are showing up as you and I am showing up as me here. Last night at my show I put percussion instruments into people's hands,many of whom had never played instruments, and certainly never at a public show. I set up a rhythm for them from Cameroon, straight 8s, sort of fast like they do in the villages there. Some people played claves, (African and Cuban), one played an amazing instrument from the Gnowa people called a krakeb which are huge metal castanets meant to symbolize how these people were brought as slaves from other parts of Africa to Morocco in slave's chains. Some played traditional bones which they were trying to figure out as they played,clicking to the simple accessible rhythm. One played the Agogo metal bell from a place in Africa where such a simple instrument can choreograph the movements of hundreds of people at a time, cutting through even the drums in syncopated messages for their feet and hips. I played a number of instruments over this community of rhythm.One was a Mvet from Cameroon, a 4 stringed lute favored by pigmies as well as the story-teller shamans in Guinea, a beautiful odd instrument amplified by large gourds on a 4 foot stick of bamboo. I played an African gourd banjo in the style of one of the last traditional black banjo players in Virgina and sang his song Roustabout. For a moment, in that urban wine bar, the barriers between audience and performer fell away as they always do in all traditional African performances. People who felt they had no rhythm or musical talent discovered that they had just had a string of shitty music teacher who had put up a wall between them and their human birthright. Strangers who would not give each other eye contact on the Metro were checking with each other without words, to make sure they were rhythmically in synch. Picking up a Brazilian berimbau, one of our planets most primitive but compelling instruments, derived from hunting bows played around the campfire of hunters and gatherers in our distant past, I sang the song I felt fit best, John Lee Hooker's I'm in the Mood. When the audience left last night some people came up and hugged me. I could see in their eyes that this was as a special night for them as it was for me. They had experienced their musical selves, without judgement, and it made them feel wonderful. So please continue, Nabbie, what was it you wanted to say.

Otherwise known as the Where yer people hailed from test. My brother is into genealogy, and figuring out our lineage. It never interested me all that much, even when his detective work indicated that our father's unknown original parents (he was an orphan, left on a doorstep in Philadelphia during the big flu epidemic in the 1920s) were probably from the Ukraine, and Jewish. More interesting to me was his latest endeavor, in which he submitted DNA samples to a company and got a readout on where his DNA (and presumably mine as well, since our Mom was SO not a person given to fool around) *came from* on the planet. The company says that it matches the samples against many thousands of similar samples tied primarily to geographical locations around the world, and then they ship you a report on what they found. I have no idea if it's legit.

Happy Halloween. The image is that of a Neanderthal child, which I took in the American Museum of Natural History in New York City last week. The child was three to four years old. The lighting was perfect for the way this day is celebrated in the United States. The child died 50,000 years ago.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Ethnicity DNA Estimates
Funny. I'm just wondering how they determined that yer Mom was knocked up by a New York Jew? Is there a particular DNA signature to indicate the presence or absence of a foreskin? :-) More seriously, Alex, that's essentially my bro's story of why he's interested in this, too. Our father never knew who he was before adoption, and never cared. After his death, my brother did the private detective legwork to find out that his parents were most likely from the Ukraine, and Jewish. Both died in the great flu epidemic. The genetic DNA tracking outfit he used to create the report I saw doesn't seem to do DNA back to the Neanderthal period. Or if it does, I didn't notice it. To be honest, I was just fascinated by the whole tech of it, that many DNA strains can be traced back to their geographical origins, and that everyone subsequently descended from that DNA strain can *also* be traced back to that location.

Strange isn't it that so many people have to become old or dying before they tell what they know. But far more shocking -- some might say more disturbing -- was Bushman's claims that aliens that had traveled to Earth were out and about, working for the federal government. The scientist said there were 18 extraterrestrials working for the government.

Re: [FairfieldLife] LIFF
Cool. One of the locals is planning to take in the Mill Valley Film Festival. There's very little in the way of film festivals this side of the Bay. I had some friends take in Sundance one year but just to hang out as they didn't have festival tickets. They stayed at a house of a friend who lives there.

The question is, why would someone want to troll under an alias and trash a discussion and make themselves look like an atheistic asshole? It just doesn't make any sense to normal people seeking answers to the spiritual life. When people do that it indicates they probably have OCD or serious anger management issues. In fact, it's dishonest to use an alias in a real online discussion. Only newbies and adolescents do that because they are trying to hide something from their parents. But, it is especially strange for science writers to post using an alias - I mean, who is going to do an internet search for a salyavin808 - everything you post to the internet is lost in Warehouse 13. What a waste of time. In contrast, most of my information forms a huge data base of information and I'll be famous for several generations.You are a nobody. I think you are quite probably insane. I can't perform an actual diagnosis over the internet but if you think you post any information at all - other than the fact you are insane - then I've yet to see it. But perhaps I'm being too harsh and you are merely autistic or have behavioural problems. I have tried to discuss things with you in the past - many times - but you always just get abusive and start posting irrelevant rubbish that you cut and paste from Wikipedia. I don't know if you just don't know anything or think that posting anything as long as it appears contrary to my position is helpful to whatever cause it is you have. Or maybe they only give you limited computer use at your care home. Either way, I have tried. I'm sorry if you think that someone who doesn't believe in magic is automatically an asshole, I can't help you there. I do explain why I think the supernatural is an inadequate explanation for our experience but you just stick your fingers in your ears and post endless bollocks to spam the whole thread up. Every single time. What pleasure you get from your online existence I cannot guess at because you contribute absolutely nothing of any intellectual value either way that I've seen here. You may very well be famous, and I'm sure that is very important to you, I'm also sure that anyone who has tried to read your dribble every day on here will be telling their friends with horror what a full spiritual life can do for you. Someone should make a flicker book of your last ten years of posts here and we can look at them one after the other and maybe even you will shudder as you watch them not change, even remotely. And I am happy to be a nobody. I suspect for you to think that is an adequate insult means you must think you are a somebody. Good luck with whoever you really are because you inspire no jealousy in me at all. An alias actually sometimes tells more about an informant than using their real name. For example a Michael Jackson living in SC indicates to me a rebel guy that hates black people. Another example is Uncle Tantra which indicates to me an old guy with deviant sexual proclivities.

[FairfieldLife] How Maharishi got HIS title
All this nonsense of taking issue with the word used by organizations who deal with the arts to refer to their roster reminded me a a great story Maharishi used to tell about how he got his title/name Maharishi. With all the careful parsing of words around here one would expect that the man chosen to be their authoritative master of all things spiritual would have gained his title through some profound process. At the very least one would assume that his own guru, the man who knew his spiritual progress best, would have been the one to give him the title great rishi. But you would be wrong because Guru Dev went to his watery grave without giving Maharishi any title at all. He was known as Bal Bramachari Mahesh (which basically means he who represses any dhoti tents) and this was how he signed his name on early papers. But then in South India a newpaperman came up with a catchy hook for his story about a guy from the North who had come to the South. By Maharishi's own account he referred to Mahesh as a great Maharishi from the North and Mr. Marketing himself, was off and running. He assumed the name the Newspaper gave him, which is a spiritual title usually given by one's master, from the newspaper. That's right,the same guy who came up with: New Police Dog Takes a Bite Out of Crime and the provocative Aren't you 'Sari' you Forgot Your Wife's Birthday gave Maharishi his most important spiritual title. Now I wonder how the World Teacher, got his special name...

When a digital camera is exposed near the low end of the luminance, there is a
lot of noise, very different from film, where the noise is usually equally
distributed among the light and dark areas, but with digital the noise is in
the dark areas most. Here is your dawn image lightened and smoothed for noise
as much as I could make it. Probably this does not look quite like it did to
the eye.

posted some pre-computer, computer art he did, that, after I read how he did

It isn't really in the spirit of the internet to use your real name, the idea
is that you can project the image you want and even hide what sex and age you

The one that shows up is a small face shot from the photo I originally posted of myself on FFL, the one taken on top of the Cathedral of Notre Dame, with me surrounded by gargoyles. Anyone who claims to have found any other photo of me (except here on FFL) is lying. Your face is probably all over your Facebook page, Barry.LoL! So you don't know how to take a selfie with an iPhone - that's nothing to be ashamed about, Barry. I do write for publication under a number of pseudonyms, and so far cannot find a photo of myself associated with *any* of them, which I consider a badge of success. I certainly don't want the people who stalk me here (Richard Williams, Jim Flanegin, Ann, and Steve) to be able to also stalk me under any of my publication pseudonyms.

Go figure. and photos, I just scrolled through the first few dozen pageloads of photos posted to Fairfield Life over the years, and to my surprise there seem to be dozens of photos there of Fred Lenz - Rama. ALL of them were posted by one of the people stalking me, Richard Williams, and not one of them by me. There are actually more photos of Rama posted there than there are of *him*, which says a lot about the extent of his obsession with me, given his narcissism and how many photos of himself he posts. There are no of Rama photos uploaded to Yahoo FFL photos - they are just links to Google images that you posted to your Rama website. I guess some people just have so little going on in their own lives that they have to obsess on the lives of the people they stalk. I guess I should have figured this when he started posting photos of going to Costco as if that was the high point of his month... :-) Yeah, Wright. Now this is funny. bawee is worried about those he dislikes stalking him. As if we don't get more than enough of him here at FFL. LOL

[FairfieldLife] Maharishi's declining brain functioning
I was struck by the posted interview between the Aussie and the Maharishi through closed circuit TV where Maharishi was unable to field a question about whether or not he could actually fly by going into you kids get off of my lawn mode. What struck me because I have spent quite a bit of time around old people in the last few years and it seemed obvious that Maharishi was clearly suffering from the diminished capacity of age and very likely dementia. He was not well. This observation only matters because at the heart of a lot of the premises in TM is that the state of consciousness in enlightenment transcends the functioning of the brain. This is the premise on which we have claims about witnessing deep sleep for example, and all the conjectural nonsense surrounding what happens after a conscious enlightened death. It is stated in different ways as a premise underneath many claims about how a person functions in enlightenment. We saw Maharishi, who in his salad days would have gigglingly swatted away such a direct question calling him on an outrageous claim, completely flummoxed and left with a broom in his hand chasing the local scamps out of his rutabaga patch. How can it be that consciousness development can have an effect on the person after their brain stops functioning and rots, when it couldn't even weather the storm of old age for the supposedly most developed person, Maharishi himself? Apparently consciousness development has the same impact as imagination development when it comes to being able to resist the ravages of age. Brain functioning trumps all imagination of it being otherwise. And the difference between Maharishi in old age and my own father can only be seen clearly in the zeros in their bank accounts.
[FairfieldLife] Re: How Maharishi got HIS title
And Maharishi has said that in response to reporters asking: it was a title someone used about me and eventually it became kind of a [nick]name. And yet, for many people, it seems an appropriate title, as well. Anoop Chandola: What about this 'maharishi' who is with the Beatles? Is he legitimate? Swami Shantananda Saraswati, Shankaracharya of Jyotirmath: Let me put it to you this way: He would be my first choice as my successor, but they won't allow it due to the caste laws.

With all the careful parsing of words around here one would expect that the man chosen to be their authoritative master of all things spiritual would have gained his title through some profound process. At the very least one would assume that his own guru, the man who knew his spiritual progress best, would have been the one to give him the title great rishi. But you would be wrong because Guru Dev went to his watery grave without giving Maharishi any title at all. He was known as Bal Bramachari Mahesh (which basically means he who represses any dhoti tents) and this was how he signed his name on early papers. But then in South India a newpaperman came up with a catchy hook for his story about a guy from the North who had come to the South. By Maharishi's own account he referred to Mahesh as a great Maharishi from the North and Mr. Marketing himself, was off and running. He assumed the name the Newspaper gave him, which is a spiritual title usually given by one's master, from the newspaper. That's right,the same guy who came up with: New Police Dog Takes a Bite Out of Crime and the provocative Aren't you 'Sari' you Forgot Your Wife's Birthday gave Maharishi his most important spiritual title. Now I wonder how the World Teacher, got his special name...
[FairfieldLife] Re: Maharishi's declining brain functioning
The logical conclusion is that, by Maharishi's theory, Maharishi wasn't perfectly enlightened. Was there still question in your mind about this? I heard him talk about how the consciousness of the world wouldn't support the most refined states of consciousness and automatically assumed that he was giving everyone a subtle message about his own state of consciousness, but apparently many, many people refused to take the implications of MMY's statements seriously and made a mental exception for MMY and Gurudev. In fact, I pointed this implication out to a TM teacher and he explicitly said just that. You get the same thing with Christians asserting the divinity of Jesus in spite of him saying There is none perfect; no, not one.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Maharishi's declining brain functioning
What I wonder about is why anyone would take seriously a clown who's life is begging for pity and a few dollars on street-corners. The reason why he lash out now is because someone dared challenge his grandiose notion that the noise he creates is art simply because someone foolishly and out of pity actually pay him something. Judy called Curtis a liar, and I felt sorry for him getting so beat up all the time, so I started to reach out to him to start a dialog a few days ago. But, he was so egotistical and arrogant that I realized he wasn't here to discuss anything - he just wants a bulletin board to make himself look like a big-shot artist and a teacher greater than Maharishi and Maitreya combined. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, fleetwood_macncheese@... wrote : What struck me because I have spent quite a bit of time around old people in the last few years and it seemed obvious that Maharishi was clearly suffering from the diminished capacity of age and very likely dementia.

L: I heard him talk about how the consciousness of the world wouldn't support the most refined states of consciousness and automatically assumed that he was giving everyone a subtle message about his own state of consciousness, but apparently many, many people refused to take the implications of MMY's statements seriously and made a mental exception for MMY and Gurudev. M: Well then the consciousness of the world took a big downturn when he got old cuz he was not functioning very well at all. It might be easier to assume that his belief in enlightenment as a theory was contradicted by his own life. L:In fact, I pointed this implication out to a TM teacher and he explicitly said just that. You get the same thing with Christians asserting the divinity of Jesus in spite of him saying There is none perfect; no, not one. M: I am saying the emperor has no clothes, you are saying that no one covers all their skin as an excuse. All this after the fact explanation requires more unproven beliefs to be heaped on top of the old one. How the hell could anyone know about the consciousness of the world.

So, I'm ready for the kids to visit the house. We'll find out tomorrow night. What happens if you don't give them a treat, do they still egg your house or something? When I lived in England back in 1969-1973 no one recognized Halloween. This was highly discouraging and disappointing for me as I was still of trick or treating age at the time. But have things changed at all there in terms of observing this wonderfully perverse trick or treating tradition? Toy shops try and ramp up the enthusiasm and kids do like it but you hardly ever see people going door to door, maybe just round their friends. Looking at my FB page it seems to be much more an adult thing, unless some of the girls I know have lost the knack of putting on their make up. As if we need another excuse to get drunk! But most of us think it's another commercial invasion from the US, and one that ignores the real reason for the holiday at that, but if I had kids myself they'd get to have a costume and a party if they wanted it though, and probably a bonfire as I really like those. Halloween seems to have always been what it is - a great way for the ghoulish and sweet-toothed in us to take advantage of being able to behave badly or at least in ways we wish we could all year round. I personally love the iconography of it, especially the older, vintage images. I festoon my house with these Victorian era items and love the macabre. My favourite bit of the whole thing is The Simpsons Halloween specials they're showing on TV every night. Yes, I have seen one or two of those when I actually get in front of a TV set which is, nowadays, never. They're great. Well, according to the NextDoor.com Halloween map there are all of three households offering treats on my block. But that only accounts for people who are on NextDoor.com on my block and who utilized the map option.

This is the premise on which we have claims about witnessing deep sleep for example, and all the conjectural nonsense surrounding what happens after a conscious enlightened death. It is stated in different ways as a premise underneath many claims about how a person functions in enlightenment. We saw Maharishi, who in his salad days would have gigglingly swatted away such a direct question calling him on an outrageous claim, completely flummoxed and left with a broom in his hand chasing the local scamps out of his rutabaga patch. How can it be that consciousness development can have an effect on the person after their brain stops functioning and rots, when it couldn't even weather the storm of old age for the supposedly most developed person, Maharishi himself? Apparently consciousness development has the same impact as imagination development when it comes to being able to resist the ravages of age. Brain functioning trumps all imagination of it being otherwise. And the difference between Maharishi in old age and my own father can only be seen clearly in the zeros in their bank accounts.
[FairfieldLife] When meditation goes bad
The Dark Night Project at Brown University has been investigating some common psychological issues that can arise with many people who set out on the meditation path. Common problems include those who enjoyed that sense of enhanced sensual awareness on a retreat but then found the sensory overload alarming in everyday life; disorienting experiences of depersonalization; and manic emotional states. As the effects can last for some years the neuroscientists at Brown University are trying to find out why some people find meditation plain sailing while others enter the dark night. (The link is to the second of two transcripts but it deals more usefully with the problems that can arise following meditation than the first interview which is more background info.) http://www.buddhistgeeks.com/2011/09/bg-232-the-dark-night-project/ http://www.buddhistgeeks.com/2011/09/bg-232-the-dark-night-project/

Right, personal attack instead of reasoned argument, the currency of the tourettes troll. You want a cut and paste endurance contest? Cool nablusoss1008 is an internet troll who spends his time flinging verbal feces at any person who dares challenge his strange beliefs in a range of oddities including crop circles as evidence of aliens, his millionaire guru's divinity and infallibility, and the emergence of a world teacher who chooses to channel his messages through an odd little British fellow: Creme says he was first contacted telepathically by his Master in January 1959, who asked him to make tape recordings of his messages to Creme. Creme is famous for continuing to claim that the Lord Maitreya will address everyone on TV real soon, any day now, any minute, right behind you, right now, really. Nalusoss 1008 is the last remaining person on earth who actually believes that Creme is in touch with someone other than his own accountant who is said to be the brains behind the outrageous, unsubstantiated, preposterous claim factory.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Maharishi's declining brain functioning
Who ever said that Maharishi's consciousness was functioning independently from his brain? Maharishi made it clear ovr and over again that the state of a person's physiology dictated what kind of consciousness they had. As MMY's health declined towards the in, he had, as you pointed out, a diminished capacity to focus. and obviously became very forgetful, easily irritated, etc. That only means he wasn't perfectly enlightened by his definition. Gurudev died from complications from food poisoning, so we can assume that HE wasn't fully enlightened according to MMY's definition, either. In fact, as I said, MMY's talk about how the consciousness of the world wouldn't support the most refined states of consciousness pretty much acknowledges (even if MMY wouldn't have admitted it to himself) that Gurudev couldn't have been perfectly enlightened. MMY was a human being. It's perfectly normal for human beings to hold contradictory beilefs simultaneously, even if they can't acknowledge the contradiction.

He was rambling a lot in the last few years, and repeating himself. Not to mention making less sense than usual (I never thought he was much of a speaker) and his hands were shaking a lot too. The responses to this among my fellow workers at the academy were many and various. Denial that there was anything wrong was the principle one, beliefs that the amount of stress in the world has wearing him out (or similar attempts to fit it into the knowledge so that it wasn't a problem) came a close second. And a few were shocked but didn't say anything as any health problems would contradict everything he'd been telling everyone his whole life.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Real names of FFLers?
It isn't really in the spirit of the internet to use your real name, the idea is that you can project the image you want and even hide what sex and age you are. It's a meeting of minds doncha know. /Anyone can be anything they want to be on an internet discussion group. The question is, why would someone want to troll under an alias and trash a discussion and make themselves look like an atheistic asshole? It just doesn't make any sense to normal people seeking answers to the spiritual life. When people do that it indicates they probably have OCD or serious anger management issues. In fact, it's dishonest to use an alias in a real online discussion. Only newbies and adolescents do that because they are trying to hide something from their parents. But, it is especially strange for science writers to post using an alias - I mean, who is going to do an internet search for a salyavin808 - everything you post to the internet is lost in Warehouse 13. What a waste of time. In contrast, most of my information forms a huge data base of information and I'll be famous for several generations.You are a nobody.
