From: s3raph...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife] FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com I see you're in troll mode today. Me? YOU are the one replying to a post that wasn't sent to you, just so you can dump on me. :-) Re Reposted it in case someone had anything intelligent to say about it. Too bad you didn't: Define intelligent. I wasn't exactly having a rant! Re I'm sorry you thought my post was tacky. I think your reply was somewhat more so.: You think wrong. Whatever. What probably misled me was you calling my alternative take on a fictional character a slur. I had forgotten how attached people can get to their fictional characters. I should probably consider myself lucky that you didn't consider my presentation of an alternate Santa Claus a slur against *his* good name and go ballistic about that as well. :-) Re As you actually imply in your reply, s3raphita, she should have looked at being told she was about to get knocked up by god as a unique, world-historical privilege. You don't see a little MALE privilege built into this concept?: The idea that if a god makes a move on a human they are *equal* partners is a little naive. Gods have privileges denied to lesser mortals. Not so sure about the MALE bit either. In the legend of Hippolytus, Aphrodite is the cause of his death. He scorned the worship of Aphrodite, preferring Artemis. Aphrodite caused his stepmother, Phaedra, to fall in love with him, knowing Hippolytus would reject her. This led to Phaedra's suicide, and the death of Hippolytus. So goddesses can be bitches just as gods can be pigs. Hint: gods and goddesses are fictional. So are the Bible stories and myths you're describing. HOWEVER, they have import for the people who read them AS stories. The story is, in fact, what they remember, not that it's a metaphor for something. So when you've got gods and goddesses treating themselves like masters and treating the humans they interact with as their slaves, that *story* -- that relationship -- leaves an impression. I am suggesting there is something wrong with the basic stories. You seem just fine with them. I would write this off as different strokes for different folks and forget it, except that you *also* seem fine with the idea that Mary *should* feel grateful and privileged for being selected as a brood mare for a god in one of these stories. I kinda think that this attitude -- coming as it does *from* a woman -- kinda proves my point. The story had lasting impact on those who heard it, and I'm not convinced that the lasting impact was a good one. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb@... wrote : Just to follow up, I found time to read a Babelfished version of the German article, and found it interesting. But not interesting enough to really comment on. Thanks, though for your comments, and the invitation to a discussion. Trouble is, I am the furthest person you have ever met from a Biblical scholar, or even a person with any interest in the Bible. It's not that I haven't read it; it's that I have, and don't have the slightest desire to *ever* read it again. So although I can see that the changing views over time of these various books of the Bible, influenced by the politics and the social forces of various eras, would be fascinating to those who know those books, it isn't fascinating to me because I don't. To clarify about my unwillingness to correct this deficiency and learn more about the Bible, it's more a preference issue for me than it is a religious/atheist issue. I still read the occasional spiritual work for purposes of inspiration. The issue is that I'm just not *inspired* by most of the stories in the Bible. They just don't turn me on or resonate with my inner being. They often seem simplistic or obvious or distasteful or all of the above. If I were looking to read things that are regarded as scriptures and actually be *inspired* by them, I'd have to turn to Tibetan works, or Native American shaman tales. Or old Celtic or Norse myths. I don't know why this is. I just can't get it up for *any* of the three major Middle Eastern monotheist religions, or their scriptures. Given how all three have turned out over these last 2-3 millennia, I'm not exactly drawn to them as a source of wisdom. :-) From: TurquoiseBee turquoiseb@...

You never can tell around here. :-) I was hoping it was, but just in case felt the need to riff on it anyway. There really ARE people on this forum (or at least were until the recent exodus) who are still terrified of doing something that would piss off Maharishi, because they firmly believe that if they do, BAD THINGS will happen to them -- either in this life or the afterlife. I really DO know people from the Fred Lenz-Rama trip who actually believe the same thing. They are still (16 years later) afraid to say anything critical about him because they're afraid that he'll fuck up their afterlife. I would say Go figure and write these examples off as statistical outliers -- anomalies from fringe cults. But when you think about it, isn't trying to control people's behavior in this life by telling them the horrible things that God or Jeezuz or whoever will do to people who piss them off in the next life the whole *basis* of religions like Christianity and Judaism? The fascinating thing to me is that anyone, anytime, anywhere actually bought into this.

Well, damn! That's a surprise, that you don't have problems with RA posting and
gathering info on Marshy's womanizing. I doubt that Rick's interest in Marshy's
sex life was merely scholarly, but only RA himself can answer that.
This post of yours does make me wonder what you do consider salacious if
gathering info about Marshy's lying about being life long celibate doesn't make
the cut.

He came over to do some promotion work with the Natural Law Party who had joined the coalition of the willing in raising public awareness about GM tech. Fagan did a lecture at a London university that was quite interesting, he concentrated on the trouble with the unforseen consequences of meddling with nature and the inadequate testing involved in GM safety. However, he promised us TMers with a special lecture at HQ that I was looking forward to as I thought he might be a bit more technical about DNA and how it all works but all he had was the SCI consciousness angle. Apparently Maharihsi had been telling him that GMO's disrupt the natural flow of knowledge from the unified field and would prevent us getting enlightened. It depressed me at the time as it was like an intro lecture instead of some hard science. It would tie in well with King Tony's books though so I'm surprised we never heard more about it. It might have given John Hagelin a chance to get his string theories into the food chain too. The trouble with this SCI approach was that they couldn't say any of it public and had to hide behind the non-existent evidence against GMO which amounted to fear of the unknown or distaste at mixing genes from different species. Consequently they looked a bit out of place at most of the anti-GM conventions we attended.

Speaking of old tales, the Scandinavian film Ragnorak is available on Netflix WI. This is a tale about a small group of people who travel to a remote part of Scandinavia to find out what happened to a group of Vikings over 1000 years ago and what they encountered on a small island in a lake. It's a sci-fi fantasy film and very well done. Plus some of you will recognize the lead actress in the film. ;-) '

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Rick - Until the Vicious Negativity is removed - Goodbye
I hate to say so this near to Christmas but you are quite incorrect to label me
as a revenge seeker. I actually, as I have stated before got on FFL originally
in the spirit of inquiry which is why I was asking so many questions of those
who were willing to talk about their time in the TMO, Marshy's escapades and
people's opinions of the allegations of sexual activity etc.
As I firmed up mu own opinion I began to express it, first by expressing
disbelief over people's willingness to ignore some obvious egregious behavior
on the part of the TMO and its leaders and asking them how they arrived at
their conclusions.
When their answers all fell into the category of True Believer-isms, I began to
realize what I was dealing with and began to offer my own opinion based on
experience, observation and the similar experiences of others, some right here
on FFL.
So there is no desire for revenge. I do like the truth to be told and the lies
to be exposed directly or when some unexpected event like the Fairfield Pundit
Riot of 2014, or the outing of Stephen Collins, one of the TMO's celebrity
darlings as a man with pedophile tendencies.

Putin could possibly do that. But he will be showing obvious sign of his intentions by positioning his troops and war equipment at certain locations in Russia in preparation of an attack. He just can't send a few airplanes to attack a city in Europe. It would not be enough to conquer an entire country, albeit the entire western Europe. He would have to make a very robust plan to attack and occupy western Europe. When he does, western would already know his intentions and would be waiting for the demise of his troops along the way. There is also the possibility that missiles armed with atomic bombs will be sent to Moscow by the USA and other NATO member states.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Putler reopens possibility...
According to Katie Couric's Yahoo blog, the OPEC countries have met to address the declining price of oil. They supposedly have decided to let the world demand of oil determine the price of oil. They have decided to continue producing oil as usual. But they are betting that, if the price of oil keeps going down, it would cripple the American oil producers here in the US. As of now, the American oil producers have been able to harvest the oil shale in the USA and use alternative oil extraction, such as fracking, to increase the oil production in the US. If the prices go down, some of these producers will have to stop production because of increasing costs. Thus, the OPEC countries are hoping that they can outlast the American producers and eventually take control of the world production of oil, which they've done in the past. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, noozguru@... wrote : Global economics are in a critical phase.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Fascinating essay to read during this Christmas period
Re I had forgotten how attached people can get to their fictional characters.: That's cute coming from a dedicated fan of Sherlock! Re I should probably consider myself lucky that you didn't consider my presentation of an alternative Santa Claus: Well, Santa is a bit of a bore - unless you're 5 years old (and even then). But these characters of myth are not *fictional* characters. Indeed in the case of those like Mary and Jesus they are real people whose life stories have been submerged under a mythology. The difference? Myths emerge from the collective unconscious (whatever that means!) whereas fiction is a conscious creation. As an example, traditional fairy stories can carry some of the disturbing other-worldliness of myth; but modern re-workings of fairy stories, like those of Angela Carter, though they can be superb stories are too in debt to the writer's surface prejudices and biases to tap that deeper level. What you (Barry) miss is that the story of the Virgin Birth is simply one of a series of miraculous births that crop up in other myths across cultures. It's the deeper message they carry that is powerful as it activates levels of the self not touched by a merely fictional character. (I can't tell you exactly what the deep message is. Why? Because if it could be expressed in prosaic language we wouldn't need to bother with myths!) From the web: About 2,000 years before the Christian era Mut-em-ua, the virgin Queen of Egypt, was said to have given birth to the Pharaoh Amenkept, who built the temple of Luxor, on the walls of which were represented: 1) The Annunciation: the god Taht announcing to the virgin Queen that she is about to become a mother. 2) The Immaculate Conception: the god Kneph (the holy spirit) mystically impregnating the virgin by holding a cross, the symbol of life, to her mouth. 3) The Birth of the Man-god. 4) The Adoration of the newly born infant by gods and men, including three kings (or Magi?), who are offering him gifts. In this sculpture the cross again appears as a symbol. Why such stories are so appealing (to most of us, if not for others such as yourself) is an intriguing question. The point of my original response is that to reduce that appeal to a rape-narrative, as your linked article did, is just the kind of move that makes me despair of all kinds of reductionism, and is no doubt why I'm more drawn to idealist (mind-dependent) philosophies than to materialist ones.

[FairfieldLife] FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com I see you're in troll mode today. Me? YOU are the one replying to a post that wasn't sent to you, just so you can dump on me. :-) Re Reposted it in case someone had anything intelligent to say about it. Too bad you didn't: Define intelligent. I wasn't exactly having a rant! Re I'm sorry you thought my post was tacky. I think your reply was somewhat more so.: You think wrong. Whatever. What probably misled me was you calling my alternative take on a fictional character a slur. I had forgotten how attached people can get to their fictional characters. I should probably consider myself lucky that you didn't consider my presentation of an alternate Santa Claus a slur against *his* good name and go ballistic about that as well. :-) Re As you actually imply in your reply, s3raphita, she should have looked at being told she was about to get knocked up by god as a unique, world-historical privilege. You don't see a little MALE privilege built into this concept?: The idea that if a god makes a move on a human they are *equal* partners is a little naive. Gods have privileges denied to lesser mortals. Not so sure about the MALE bit either. In the legend of Hippolytus, Aphrodite is the cause of his death. He scorned the worship of Aphrodite, preferring Artemis. Aphrodite caused his stepmother, Phaedra, to fall in love with him, knowing Hippolytus would reject her. This led to Phaedra's suicide, and the death of Hippolytus. So goddesses can be bitches just as gods can be pigs. Hint: gods and goddesses are fictional. So are the Bible stories and myths you're describing. HOWEVER, they have import for the people who read them AS stories. The story is, in fact, what they remember, not that it's a metaphor for something. So when you've got gods and goddesses treating themselves like masters and treating the humans they interact with as their slaves, that *story* -- that relationship -- leaves an impression. I am suggesting there is something wrong with the basic stories. You seem just fine with them. I would write this

Thought so. :-D In other news, my local theater *will* be playing The Interview on Thursday. I'm not planning to attend but may just have to drive by and see how big the crowds are.

This is a tale about a small group of people who travel to a remote part of Scandinavia to find out what happened to a group of Vikings over 1000 years ago and what they encountered on a small island in a lake. It's a sci-fi fantasy film and very well done. Plus some of you will recognize the lead actress in the film. ;-) '

[FairfieldLife] Re: Book of Symbols
Can't help you I'm afraid, but let me know of your thoughts if you ever do buy a copy as I've some interest in that field. One thing that struck me about books of symbols is: how do you look up the symbol you want? I mean, dictionaries are in alphabetical order. Simple. But if you have a symbol you don't recognize how could you locate it in the book? The web is now offering some help as if you see a symbol online you can drag the image into a Google image search and it will give you helpful matches. A similar issue crops up in the case of music. Sometimes I've had a song running through my head and I wonder where I've heard it before. It would be neat to have a web site where you could whistle the tune into the mike and it would call up a list of matching pieces.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Rick - Until the Vicious Negativity is removed - Goodbye
Dear MJ, that is a complete fallacy of reasoning and evidently you are persecuting in method a whole group of people on that opinion. That is what, very Southern of you? There is not a lot other to say to you other than that I hope you can get some good counsel on your anger issues. I wish you a merry Christmas. Best, -Buck in Fairfield, Ia. mjackson74 wrote : I hate to say so this near to Christmas but you are quite incorrect to label me as a revenge seeker. I actually, as I have stated before got on FFL originally in the spirit of inquiry which is why I was asking so many questions of those who were willing to talk about their time in the TMO, Marshy's escapades and people's opinions of the allegations of sexual activity etc. As I firmed up mu own opinion I began to express it, first by expressing disbelief over people's willingness to ignore some obvious egregious behavior on the part of the TMO and its leaders and asking them how they arrived at their conclusions. When their answers all fell into the category of True Believer-isms, I began to realize what I was dealing with and began to offer my own opinion based on experience, observation and the similar experiences of others, some right here on FFL. So there is no desire for revenge. I do like the truth to be told and the lies to be exposed directly or when some unexpected event like the Fairfield Pundit Riot of 2014, or the outing of Stephen Collins, one of the TMO's celebrity darlings as a man with pedophile tendencies. Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Rick - Until the Vicious Negativity is removed - Goodbye Nope. Son, your vindictive bitter method of revenge seeking here is quite evidently in an entirely different league from Rick's inquiry. -Buck mjackson74 wrote : Well, damn! That's a surprise, that you don't have problems with RA posting and gathering info on Marshy's womanizing. I doubt that Rick's interest in Marshy's sex life was merely scholarly, but only RA himself can answer that. This post of yours does make me wonder what you do consider salacious if gathering info about Marshy's lying about being life long celibate doesn't make the cut. Son you misrepresent Rick here. Rick is an old friend of mine. There was nothing salacious about Rick pursuing the sadie papers here. Rick's is pure scholarly journalism on that subject. Nothing salacious about Rick.

And one of the things that Rick, himself, used his group for was posting salacious gossip about Maharishi's alleged sex life. FFL has NEVER been the blissninny utopia of your hallucinations. The biggest problem on FFL was the endless squabbling between the attention seekers and attention givers, and with one of those polarities having removed itself, the problem is gone. As far as I'm concerned, the biggest problem on FFL right now is you and your endless whining. With the group's traffic having settled down into actual discussion, your bullshit is standing out like a sore thumb, and I am very tempted to go rogue and boot you off the group.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Orangutan Wins Freedom from Zoo
S3, One wonders if the orangutans, apes and all the other monkeys are also evolving and would one day realize the gift of reflection--in that they would know that they know. IMO, it would only take a very slight mutation in their genes to make that transition to a full awakening. Humans, on the other hand, apparently have not evolved physically. So, progress in life may lie in the development of consciousness towards enlightenment. But with the current status of human affairs, as reflected by the conflicts in the Middle East and the rest of the world, humans have not progressed in the spiritual realm as well.
