The one experiment that possibly did find life was discounted as they did it on a majority vote. All expeditions to Mars since then have worked on the basis that there is no life and they haven't repeated the original experiments to make sure. Why would discovering life anywhere ruin my day? I can't work that bit out. You aren't going to get anywhere by asking questions of John, Sal.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Mars had Life
Good find. I recognised Krauss and I know Michio Kaku from BBC documentaries, they do both have a penchant for talking up the weird aspects of particle physics so I could see where you'd get your ammunition from if you wanted to do this sort of thing. Bit cheeky though... I will still watch the film of course, I expect it's about the apparent fine tuning of the universe for life like us as that's a hot topic at the moment. And some people see it as evidence of design. It all comes down to the initial state during the big bang, if the interaction between charged particles was a few percent smaller no planets would ever have formed and if the expansion rate at the start had been only slightly higher there would be no stars. No stars means no elements heavier than hydrogen and consequently no life. This all gets spun by some into proof that the universe was designed for us. The wiggle room they have is that there isn't yet a good and accepted explanation of why the universe is like it is and not some other way. Seems obvious to me that if it was another way at the start we wouldn't be here to comment on it. Is it just a coincidence, or are some people reaching for the God of the Gaps to fulfill their own need for a creator? Speculation amongst people who don't need a god to explain things brings the solution down to: it's just randomly like that or we wouldn't be here. Our universe is part of a multiverse where every possible universe happens and we just live in the bit capable of supporting us. Or there may have been millions of universes that couldn't sustain life, or even matter, and fell apart leaving space for the right one to eventually come along with us to comment on it. Or something else no one has thought of yet. Whatever the answer is it's going to be something simple because it always is, you can't start inventing a need for complexity just to provide room for something you want. It's a silly way to carry on. But you can make a film about it being all a bit weird if you like... Just all a guess on what it's about, I shall watch it when it arrives and see what they're on about. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb@... wrote : BTW, it looks as if Salyavin was correct about the way this The Principle video was made, with the producers misleading the experts and even (see quote that follows from Wikipedia) the narrator as to what the nature of the show they were producing was.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Is it Moral to Commit Suicide?
John and turq, what got me rethinking all this is that idea of life full of possibilities to enjoy. Is it healthy to give up on that? Is it honoring, turq of life itself to give up on the possibility of joy and love? And turq, is not suicide also often driven by FEAR? Since you're using presence of fear as a measuring stick. At this moment I'm thinking that what's healthiest is to act from a place of embodied settledness rather than fear. And we can't really predict what action might thus result. And can we really legislate about people's states of being?!

The act of killing oneself or another person is against Nature's functioning, which is to create life and to promote joy in existence.

Ann, replying to your analogy of farting in the room, I don't think what you do wrt turq is open a window.

Do you want to benefit yourself and others? Or do you want to do harm? As for the rest, I think it's pretty simple. If someone is harming us and won't stop, then we remove ourselves from their life. If someone is harming others and won't stop, then we put them in jail until they can be rehabilitated. Sometimes jail is not possible and I personally don't think jail cures anyone of anything, in fact, jail mostly makes bad guys badder. And of course you are talking about a criminal level of toxicity when you talk about jail. Most of the toxicity is not something you could incarcerate someone for. I'm talking garden variety toxicity. Here online, if someone says something untrue, we say what is true. If someone says something we don't agree with, we say we don't agree. If someone is a jerk, we say we think that, ONE time. To say it over and over is imo a sign that the name caller is projecting and or venting. I think a lot of the nastiness online is people venting what they are unwilling or unable to vent about in their 3D life. If the asshole keeps on and on and on then one time is often not enough in terms of responding to it or attempting to deflect the untruths or negativity.

Re: [FairfieldLife] 7 Techniques to Handle Toxic People
Well said, Buck. yes there is a small group of individuals here, who did not receive a lasting benefit from Maharishi's TM and TMSP techniques, didn't do the work, and now have both no lasting inner silence, or the support of nature that accompanies it. So, essentially those who have been successful with TM, and those who haven't, live in two very different worlds. Theirs (TM bashers) is one where success comes rarely, if at all, whereas the other group simply thinks, and desires are realized. There isn't any way for those ignorant of spiritual experience to catch a clue, regarding what existence is like, along with the success of TM. It takes a lot of self introspection, an ongoing, and uncompromising look at one's self, which those who don't do TM are simply incapable of, to any degree of depth. You are correct - It isn't personal. It isn't even about ideas. It is about one group, which regularly integrates the transcendent value of life, to their great benefit, vs. another group who lives life as they have for thousands of years, unfulfilled, and unaware of the vast potential, within each one of them. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, dhamiltony2k5@... wrote : No, no, you two are being way too simplistic with this.

The single counter argument for this group, no matter what detail of the movement and its beliefs are criticized seems to be : Yeah but you are a poopy pants so neirner, neiner, neiner!

So when your reaction to me saying that Maharishi seemed to be a super ambitious guy selling a panacea (which he literally and explicitly WAS) is to attack what I do for a living, or make up that I am somehow not successful in my life or career which you could know NOTHING about... you reveal that, like your self proclaimed master the emperor has no clothes. Just notice what you are about to type right now. Let's see if there is a response that makes a cogent point to reflect upon concerning the power and beauty of this knowledge you hold so dear... or if it is the same old routine.

Seems like the Marshy Effect would have granted Settle support of Nature so's he could have continued to support the effort to make the Marshy Effect front and center. I mean wouldn't the Marshy Effect grant support of nature to those who are in the Domes creating the Marshy Effect so the Marshy Effect can create world peace and get noticed? How come Settle didn't get Marshy Effect support of nature? Whus wrong here???

The act of killing oneself or another person is against Nature's functioning, which is to create life and to promote joy in existence.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Is it Moral to Commit Suicide?
I recall Charlie Lutes take on the subject that though suicide is frowned on in the yogic traditions he could see doing when facing prolonged agony like from a slow death by cancer. In the eastern traditions including Buddhism they believe that if you commit suicide you get stuck in some middle world. The published suicide mantra is of the maran class and is also an Agni mantra.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Is it Moral to Commit Suicide?
Yeah, I have been aware of this also, that if suicide is done, the person must wait out their karma. It is not a moral issue, but one of complicating one's life, by destroying the physical vessel. The lesson learned is that we cannot ever be destroyed, and if a suicide, the lesson is learned, while imprisoned. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, noozguru@... wrote : I recall Charlie Lutes take on the subject that though suicide is frowned on in the yogic traditions he could see doing when facing prolonged agony like from a slow death by cancer.

Re: [FairfieldLife] 37 Million Bees Found Dead In Ontario, Canada After Planting Large GMO Corn Field
My apple tree didn't produce much the last two years. Not much of a worry as they are green apples (very sour) and it is really a huge pain to raise organic apples. Basically you put out sticky traps for the coddling moths who like to lay their eggs on the buds. If you are a little late about getting those traps in February the nurseries run out. But those traps cost $18 and I get more organic apples out of $18 worth at Trader Joes. Go figure. Another trick is to spray the tree with orange spray. The bugs think it is a orange tree and stay away (except for bees). I have a lemon tree which is no problem whatsoever as long as I can get my non English speaking gardener to prune it once a year. The prior gardener went back to Peru for health care and I didn't have to remind him. I do notice the bee populations around here is down quite a bit. Probably way down from when John Muir had this lot as part of his orchard.

I'm hoping it's good, and will try to pen a review if it is, but I know in advance that I approve of Nolan's idea of what one should do in case of imminent planetary collapse and the extinction of the species.

[FairfieldLife] The Sword of Cleavage
by the Master —, through Benjamin Creme, 6 September 2014 Many people believe that despite the presence of Maitreya in the world, everything is becoming more threatening and unstable than hitherto. They wonder what Hierarchy is doing to ease the many problems and difficulties that leave them afraid and unprepared for the heightened tension of today. The truth is, the world is being prepared. In times of great tension and change, people look at problems with a limited view – which they inevitably have – of the true state of society. Humanity imagines that all these events have the same impact and importance for the future, whereas the true view, which only the Masters can see, is altogether different. The Masters see the happenings as if occurring on a flat plane, and as potential only. They know that some will precipitate and effect world change, while others will simply wither away without any precipitation at all. Humanity, with its limited vision, sees all these events as bearing on their future but this assuredly is not the case. From the Masters’ point of view humanity has never been so ready for the new world that the future will bring. It has never been so near a time of inspiration and readiness to work for the common weal. When the Christ said that He would return (in such a time as we think not), He would bring not soft words of spurious peace but a sword, the Sword of Cleavage, which would separate father from son and brother from brother. It is precisely the action of the Sword of Cleavage that we are witnessing today. Maitreya’s energy of love stimulates everyone: the one who loves, and works for justice and sharing, but also the one who causes the divisions, schisms and greed in the world. In this way, through the clear opposition created by the Sword of Cleavage, men can arrive at a true choice for the future – the future for all men, the poor and hungry as well as the men of money and the destroyers of peace in the world. Each of us must choose on which side of that division we find our truth.

[FairfieldLife] Creme's new info on Nato, space brothers, cropcircles, sun spots, Maitreya
Q. If the idea is for your message to gain as broad exposure as possible, why would it be wrong to provide transcripts of what was said in the various interviews with Maitreya that you claim have been happening? If these interviews are making an impression, why have there not been any leaks from any of the media personnel presumably involved? A. Maitreya is acting incognito. Even those He works with for the production of His media appearances are unsure of His true status. Q. What makes you so sure Maitreya is a ‘he’? A. I have worked for Maitreya for many years and know my right from my left hand! Q. My understanding is that the USA’s history/military involvement (i.e. since World War I-II) has not been justified. It seems that we are only making things worse by continuing the cycle of violence. That said, what is the best action (or inaction) we can take about ISIS? A. The existence of ISIS is a result of the war in Iraq and the divisions which have emerged since the death of Saddam Hussein. They are also the result of the sense of inequality felt by the poorer members of the Muslim community as a whole. There is only one way out of this major problem and that is the one proposed by Maitreya – the sharing of the produce of the world, freedom and justice for all peoples. Q. Were you putting words in the mouth of the Masters when you had them making the preposterous claim that 80 per cent of global warming or climate change is manmade? The most drastic climate shifts occurred before industrial civilization, or even civilization itself – the Ice Ages, the mediaeval warming period and the Little Ice Age, when fairs were held in winter on the frozen Thames. How does it help your cause to offer such ill-considered views, as if to say, just like many religious fundamentalists, that science and reason are inferior to what purports to be Divine revelation but clearly is far from that? A. I am quite aware of the various climatic changes stretching back in time but that is not what I have been talking about. I have not been talking about historical climate shifts but about the recent impact of the misuse of resources of the planet which has made man responsible for 80 per cent of global warming in recent times. Q. (1) How does Hierarchy see the role of NATO now and in the near future? (2) Should NATO be disbanded? A. (1) As a necessary world grouping. (2) No. Q. Sun spot activity in the last week of August and early September 2014 has been dramatic. (1) What is the energetic effect on our planet and on humanity of such violent solar storms? (2) Are such solar eruptions beneficial for our planet? A. (1) Profound in many ways. (2) Yes. Q. I recently have begun to read books by Benjamin Creme and Alice Bailey; and I’ve come across references to “The Plan”; I would like to know if you can provide me with information concerning the Plan, and point to where I can get further information. A. The Plan is the Plan of Hierarchy for the perfectionment of men. It is the Plan of Evolution including the evolution of consciousness. A study of the books of Alice Bailey will give a clear idea of this subject. Q. A cursory glance at the internet seems to suggest that UFO activity appears to be increasing. (1) Is this true? (2) Are the space people stepping up their activity? (3) Are the space people allowing themselves and their crafts to be seen more frequently? A. (1) Yes. (2) Yes. (3) Not markedly. Q. (1) Are more crop circles appearing in new locations? (2) Are media reporting them more? A. (1) Yes. (2) No, if anything, less. Q. What is the value of equipping the mind through education and general learning when that very process could inhibit the ability to contact the soul and also our ability to simply ‘be’? A. No one can fully partake of life today who has not enriched his/her mind. http://www.share-international.org/magazine/old_issues/2014/2014-10.htm http://www.share-international.org/magazine/old_issues/2014/2014-10.htm

I recognised Krauss and I know Michio Kaku from BBC documentaries, they do both have a penchant for talking up the weird aspects of particle physics so I could see where you'd get your ammunition from if you wanted to do this sort of thing. Bit cheeky though... I will still watch the film of course, I expect it's about the apparent fine tuning of the universe for life like us as that's a hot topic at the moment. And some people see it as evidence of design. It all comes down to the initial state during the big bang, if the interaction between charged particles was a few percent smaller no planets would ever have formed and if the expansion rate at the start had been only slightly higher there would be no stars. No stars means no elements heavier than hydrogen and consequently no life. This all gets spun by some into proof that the universe was designed for us. The wiggle room they have is that there isn't yet a good and accepted explanation of why the universe is like it is and not some other way. Seems obvious to me that if it was another way at the start we wouldn't be here to comment on it. Is it just a coincidence, or are some people reaching for the God of the Gaps to fulfill their own need for a creator? Speculation amongst people who don't need a god to explain things brings the solution down to: it's just randomly like that or we wouldn't be here. Our universe is part of a multiverse where every possible universe happens and we just live in the bit capable of supporting us. Or there may have been millions of universes that couldn't sustain life, or even matter, and fell apart leaving space for the right one to eventually come along with us to comment on it. Or something else no one has thought of yet. Whatever the answer is it's going to be something simple because it always is, you can't start inventing a need for complexity just to provide room for something you want. It's a silly way to carry on. But you can make a film about it being all a bit weird if you like...

And some people see it as evidence of design. It all comes down to the initial state during the big bang, if the interaction between charged particles was a few percent smaller no planets would ever have formed and if the expansion rate at the start had been only slightly higher there would be no stars. No stars means no elements heavier than hydrogen and consequently no life. This all gets spun by some into proof that the universe was designed for us. The wiggle room they have is that there isn't yet a good and accepted explanation of why the universe is like it is and not some other way. Seems obvious to me that if it was another way at the start we wouldn't be here to comment on it. Is it just a coincidence, or are some people reaching for the God of the Gaps to fulfill their own need for a creator? Speculation amongst people who don't need a god to explain things brings the solution down to: it's just randomly like that or we wouldn't be here. Our universe is part of a multiverse where every possible universe happens and we just live in the bit capable of supporting us. Or there may have been millions of universes that couldn't sustain life, or even matter, and fell apart leaving space for the right one to eventually come along with us to comment on it. Or something else no one has thought of yet. Whatever the answer is it's going to be something simple because it always is, you can't start inventing a need for complexity just to provide room for something you want.

So, essentially those who have been successful with TM, and those who haven't, live in two very different worlds. Theirs (TM bashers) is one where success comes rarely, if at all, whereas the other group simply thinks, and desires are realized. There isn't any way for those ignorant of spiritual experience to catch a clue, regarding what existence is like, along with the success of TM. It takes a lot of self introspection, an ongoing, and uncompromising look at one's self, which those who don't do TM are simply incapable of, to any degree of depth. You are correct - It isn't personal. It isn't even about ideas.

So, essentially those who have been successful with TM, and those who haven't, live in two very different worlds.

It takes a lot of self introspection, an ongoing, and uncompromising look at one's self, which those who don't do TM are simply incapable of, to any degree of depth.

Posted by: Bhairitu bhairitu The semitic race includes Arabs, so if we blast Saudi Arabia are we being anti-semitics? And someone said to bash Zionism is being anti-Jewish. That's like saying all Christians are Republicans. Zionists are a right wing political faction. As far as Dan goes I had him in my Dangeon anyway for being an abusive poster and only replied to comments he started indirectly about TV or movies.

If Yahoo closed FFL, the lost would be significant, but if Rick bans antisemitism, the lost to the world's ability to have free speech would be hardly noticed. An easy call for Rick, methinks. Now if the various communities around the world got as aggressively defensive, hoo boy, who could then say anything

[FairfieldLife] Re: Statue Head Found on Mars
Because the human brain and perceptual system is especially tuned to face like forms, if you hunt enough you can find the likenesses of faces in just about any location. The Indian Head formation in the image below in New Hampshire is one example (it no longer exists as the rock face collapsed a few years ago). Finding shapes that look like familiar forms in the rocks on Mars is pretty easy considering the large number of images NASA has collected over the past 40 years. Looked at from another angle, those appearances may not look the same at all. Remember the 'face on Mars' from an orbital photo years ago? That turned out to be a mesa when rephotographed under higher resolution and it did not look like a face at all, it was just a trick of lighting and the low resolution of the original first photograph. Now finding something that looked exactly like an egg beater on the surface of Mars, that would be something. But these blurry rocks that sort of look like something, that is dim perception and dim thinking. Sometimes I see faces in the bundle of laundry thrown on the floor. Does that mean I have just discovered something momentous about the Earth and its history? All it means is my nervous system has detected a pattern that resembles one in my memory. Further investigation would be needed to affirm or deny anything beyond that. Having known UFO buffs, all I can say is they seem almost totally incapacitated when it comes to understanding science, its mental framework, and its method.

Another possible explanation, not mentioned by NASA JPL, is that the stone anomaly was part of a larger statue that had been carved during a past Martian civilization, and subsequently destroyed during cataclysmic events. Words fail me.
