Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: The Yahoo-Groups Guidelines
There is no rule that says he has to be let back on to respond. He dug his grave and now needs to lie in it. It's his karma. Who knows how many groups and sites he's been booted from for being obnoxious. Someone his age and background should know better. Posting what is essentially graffiti postings will get you the boot from many moderators.

My memory is sketchy but I think they were about the physics of yogic flying or rather the possibility of yogic flying according to actual physics - you know the sort of thing I usually go on about. But what I didn't anticipate was that in having my real email address with my name on that would get copied too if anyone felt like they wanted to back up their arguments with a bit of serious thinking [ahem]. So basically I ended up getting some odd emails from some odd people. And offers to join other groups which was nice, but one doesn't like to spread oneself too thinly I find. None of it was unpleasant or trollish it was just another thing to have to deal with in the day so I went anonymous to avoid it happening in future.

Re: [FairfieldLife] International day of Yoga!
However, the technologies of Yoga in the Vedic tradition, particularly as brought to light in the west by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi with Transcendental Meditation, while improving all aspects of mind, body, behavior and society, take the individual and society to the field of all unity – the unified field of all the Laws of Nature. What a crock of shit. All you have to do is look at India to see how much big bullshit this is. From: salyavin808 no_re...@yahoogroups.com To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, June 17, 2015 12:39 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] International day of Yoga! | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Yoga Day AnnouncementAll Maharishi Invincibility Centres worldwide to celebrate International Day of Yoga Founded by the United Nations 21 June 2015 It is a pleasure to invite all Sidhas and Meditators to join this special event to commemorate the United Nations International Day of Yoga. The annual event was proposed by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, and major celebrations will take place for India in New Delhi, and for the United Nations in New York City. 21 June is the solstice – midsummer day in the Northern Hemisphere, and midwinter day in the Southern Hemisphere – a traditional day to celebrate, and now we can add the theme of International Day of Yoga to our celebration, and bring Maharishi’s unique vision of Yoga to our Meditators and Sidhas, to the press, and to our country. The Eight Limbs of Yoga Most people understand Yoga mainly in terms of asanas (physical postures or exercises). However, Maharishi’s enlightened vision of Ashtanga Yoga (the Eight Limbs of Yoga) illuminates that the eight limbs grow together on the basis of the experience of Samadhi, Transcendental Consciousness. The reality of Yoga (unity) is to be created on all levels – body, mind, consciousness, society, and even World Peace. An opportunity This is an opportunity to highlight everything Maharishi taught us about Yoga in his supreme vision of integration of life, and what Maharaja Adhiraj Rajaraam has brought out in terms of Yoga in the physiology, to celebrate it, tell others, and enjoy spreading the influence of wellbeing for all mankind. See Maharaja-ji’s profound message below. The International Day of Yoga calls for an upsurge of unity in world consciousness. For this purpose, Maharishi’s global organization will hold events everywhere on that day to enliven the true value of Yoga in every country. We celebrate the simultaneous growth of unity in every area of life through contact with that level of unity that is fundamental to everything. Celebrate with Meditators and Sidhas at Maharishi Invincibility Centres There will be Coherence Day events with a National conference call to celebrate the International Day of Yoga throughout the United Kingdom. Please see the email of 11 June about the National Coherence Day, and please call your TM Centre for details of your local event. On the conference call, which will begin at 2.30 pm, Raja Peter will be speaking on the significance of the International Day of Yoga, and Dr William Sands, Dean of the College of Maharishi Vedic Science at Maharishi University of Management, will speak on 'The True Meaning of Yoga'. Facebook page The International Day of Yoga is being celebrated in Maharishi Invincibility Centres in 115 countries around the world where Transcendental Meditation is taught. Group photos from the Coherence Day events and brief report will also be added tohttps://www.facebook.com/intlyogaday21june Message from Maharaja Adhiraj Raja Raam on the International day of Yoga, 21 June 2015 Yoga Day will no doubt become a milestone in human history, particularly if highlighted as the day of Unity. Yoga is unity between mind and body, between the individual and society, between all societies, between all nations and between all individual values of culture, tradition, belief systems, and racial differences. Yoga brings together all separate and even apparently conflicting and opposite values. The dynamics of creation and evolution require some things to move up, others to move down. Some aspects of nature are dry and some others are wet; some cool, some hot. When balanced they create the steps of transformation and evolution. Yoga is that aspect of Natural Law, that aspect of Veda, which guarantees that all diversity is progressing on the basis of supreme Unity. As brought to light by Maharishi, Yoga is not only one of the 40 aspects of Vedic science, which like all others make a profound theoretical contribution to knowledge, but it also has a practical aspect which allows every individual to directly experience and live supreme unity within diversity. Yoga Asana helps to balance the physiology and strengthen the body, thus promoting a healthy body for a healthy

I agree with Curtis on this one, but TurquoiseB is in fact lucky still to be here. He should have been given a red card some weeks ago when he falsely accused, in a specially created subject line, another FFL member of advocating murder on this forum and giving that poster's real name, at a time when that poster was using an anonymous handle. TurquoiseB did this deliberately to defame the individual concerned forever via the Google search engine. He actually gloated over this very point. If that was not a malicious action then the word has no meaning. He should have been expelled.

Re: [FairfieldLife] International day of Yoga!
what I think should happen is all the Marshy guru types and their true believer followers should all go to the fundamentalist countries and do their meditation and chanting thing with the publicly expressed intention to convert the medieval savages into a coherent, sattvic peaceful way of life. Wait a month, notify next of kin for all the gurus and their followers and then all we have left to deal with are the Game of Thrones type people (having read the books and watched most of the shows, I can tell you the milk of human kindness is greatly lacking in Geo.

The annual event was proposed by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, and major celebrations will take place for India in New Delhi, and for the United Nations in New York City. 21 June is the solstice – midsummer day in the Northern Hemisphere, and midwinter day in the Southern Hemisphere – a traditional day to celebrate, and now we can add the theme of International Day of Yoga to our celebration, and bring Maharishi’s unique vision of Yoga to our Meditators and Sidhas, to the press, and to our country. The Eight Limbs of Yoga Most people understand Yoga mainly in terms of asanas (physical postures or exercises). However, Maharishi’s enlightened vision of Ashtanga Yoga (the Eight Limbs of Yoga) illuminates that the eight limbs grow together on the basis of the experience of Samadhi, Transcendental Consciousness. The reality of Yoga (unity) is to be created on all levels – body, mind, consciousness, society, and even World Peace.

See Maharaja-ji’s profound message below. The International Day of Yoga calls for an upsurge of unity in world consciousness. For this purpose, Maharishi’s global organization will hold events everywhere on that day to enliven the true value of Yoga in every country. We celebrate the simultaneous growth of unity in every area of life through contact with that level of unity that is fundamental to everything.

For whatever my opinion is worth, I would slur and revile Lynch to a
fair-thee-well. He is obviously a hypocrite which puts him in good company
since most of the TM leadership I ever had dealings with were too, and he is
the purveyor of a way to save the world while adding to its degradation with
his awful twisted schlock.

David Lynch is a public figure in the TM movement, and worldwide. He is not
part of the FFL Yahoo group. He is in a different category than members of this
group. Criticism of Lynch as a public figure is fair game on-line and in the
press as long as it is not libel. I feel this is NOT a violation of Yahoo group
guidelines and you are overstepping your authority. I find it incredibly
difficult to find any message even a couple of days old. Neo has made it very
difficult to locate past messages. However, I did find that post. You have got
to be kidding 'dhamiltonyk5'.
I believe I know someone who went on that course. That person did not get
enlightened. I think that person is very gullible, based on considerations
other than that person having gone on that course. Saying someone is gullible
is a mere opinion, but it is something that could be backed up with evidence.
Gullible: easily persuaded to believe something; credulous, naive,
over-trusting, over-trustful, easily deceived, easily taken in, exploitable,
dupable, impressionable, unsuspecting, un-suspicious, unwary, ingenuous,
innocent, inexperienced, unworldly, green;
Furthermore, it was not a non sequitur, 'TurquoiseBee' was responding to a
similar event of gullibility, providing what he thought was another example of
the same, so it was germane to the conversation.
We have all been taken in by something in our lives. There are a lot of us who
feel that the TMO has taken advantage of people's inexperience in certain areas
of life, and that as a spiritual movement, it and those supporting it have in
some ways gone off track.
And if you have ever watched all of David Lynch's work, he is a pretty weird
guy by most normal person standards.
And that post was over 10 days ago. A moderator is supposed to be doing this
more or less in real time, dealing with current 'offences', like the broadcast
loop delay on live broadcasts a moderator can delete certain words in almost
real time. This example is more like the Inquisition looking for someone as a
scapegoat.
I think anyone who took a course for a fee like that is out of their mind. Even
worse than gullible. Unless they are thinking of it as a conscious donation to
a cause they believe is real, it seems to lack judgement.

Dear Dear Friends of FFL; These posts in this thread are all very interesting but it turns out as I look at the moderator's moderation log for FFL that Rick, my master, was ahead of me and deleted an even more inflammatory post by Turqb in this thread before this one of Turq's that I cited. ..as the world turns. 5,4,3,2.. I feel that FFL will be fine as people come to write within the parameters of the yahoo-groups guidelines. Take a moment to read the yahoo-groups guidelines.

It would be really fine to be able to have voices from the DLynch side of the movement be able to come on to FFL for discussion and then trust that they could be fairly heard without just being knee-capped by folks here.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: On Gratuitous invasions of privacy
I like Lynch's films too. They are dark for the most part, and in the view of people I watched them with, sick. He seems to have a preference for head injuries. My favourite is still his first major foray, Eraserhead. Although I suspect the non-linear character of many of them lead some to consider him a genius because they cannot understand them. It is those short scenes of human behaviour that display a strange deviant creepiness that I find intriguing, such as feeding the mutan kid in Eraserhead, or that guy in Muholland Drive dumping his trollop wife's jewellery into paint cans and massaging them with his hands to get revenge. That his films contain scenes most people I know would rather not experience does not necessarily mean he is sick, but I am sure it makes a lot of people wonder about him, because such thoughts do not occur to them, or if they do, they edit them out of their minds, especially in conversation so they appear nice and normal.

What cracks me up though is over the years these GOP candidates keep getting
rock anthems, ballads, and pop tunes to jin up excitment. They really should
look into seeing if the writer / artist supports their ideology first. I've
seen this so many times. Many folks in the music business are probably
laughing all the way to the bank.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: On Gratuitous invasions of privacy
I like Lynch's films. I also being in the arts myself know how some artists think and Lynch has found TM useful and doesn't want to be bothered doing anything else. I'm sure some of his artist friends have told him there are better things out there but he doesn't care, he just wants to get on with his art. OTOH, I've known MUM Vedic Studies grads who like to explore other paths too. But I hear that all seasons of the Andy Griffith Show are available on Netflix if that suits you. :-D On 06/17/2015 02:52 PM, Michael Jackson mjackso...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife] wrote: For whatever my opinion is worth, I would slur and revile Lynch to a fair-thee-well.

He is not part of the FFL Yahoo group. He is in a different category than members of this group. Criticism of Lynch as a public figure is fair game on-line and in the press as long as it is not libel. I feel this is NOT a violation of Yahoo group guidelines and you are overstepping your authority. I find it incredibly difficult to find any message even a couple of days old. Neo has made it very difficult to locate past messages. However, I did find that post. You have got to be kidding 'dhamiltonyk5'. I believe I know someone who went on that course. That person did not get enlightened. I think that person is very gullible, based on considerations otherthan that person having gone on that course. Saying someone is gullible is a mere opinion, but it is something that could be backed up with evidence. Gullible: easily persuaded to believe something;credulous, naive, over-trusting, over-trustful, easily deceived, easily taken in, exploitable, dupable, impressionable, unsuspecting, un-suspicious, unwary, ingenuous, innocent, inexperienced, unworldly, green; Furthermore, it was not a non sequitur, 'TurquoiseBee' was responding to a similar event of gullibility, providing what he thought was another example of the same, so it was germane to the conversation. We have all been taken in by something in our lives. There are a lot of us who feel that the TMO has taken advantage of people's inexperience in certain areas of life, and that as a spiritual movement, it and those supporting it have in some ways gone off track. And if you have ever watched all of David Lynch's work, he is a pretty weird guy by most normal person standards. And that post was over 10 days ago. A moderator is supposed to be doing this more or less in real time, dealing with current 'offences', like the broadcast loop delay on live broadcasts a moderator can delete certain words in almost real time. This example is more like the Inquisition looking for someone as a scapegoat. I think anyone who took a course for a fee like that is out of their mind. Even worse than gullible. Unless they are thinking of it as a conscious donation to a cause they believe is real, it seems to lack judgement. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, dhamiltony2k5@... wrote : Additionally, “Exploitative or degrading comments are not welcome in Groups.” “..and don't invade other people's privacy.” The dragging of someone in to an unrelated thread as a means to slur them using FFL, a yahoo-group.. Whoa, for instance DLynch as a practitioner of TM worked with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi quite a lot on the teaching of TM quite evidently for good reasons and quite evidently Lynch knew well enough the scope of the 'what for and why' he was there. Quite evidently Turqb here is actively trying to slur and degrade DLynch personally by jumping in to this thread with an unqualified non sequitur posting publicly using [ 'exploitative' ] a Yahoo-group [FFL].

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: On Gratuitous invasions of privacy
That was helpful, I do not think I ever noticed that. But when I am using
e-mail it is a bit more difficult as there is no box. Usually a post number is
not mentioned. That the word message# is in grey reduces its visibility. Part
of ergonomic software design is to test a population of typical users and give
them a task and see if they can complete it. Often software designers discover
what seemed obvious to them was in effect, invisible to the typical user, in
which case, if there is time, they make a change. On the other hand the Search
bar at the top is rather prominent. A good design would allow the typing
'message #xx' in that box and would come up with results, but that does not
work unless the message# is in the message itself. If not it returns posts with
the word message in them. So the software has the search routines split into
two separate functions. I see the date functions in Advanced Search now do not
give error messages, but with my browser, still do not return a date range. I
am not usually interested in past posts so I do not use the search functions
that often.

Note that 'Buck' does not appear in the data Yahoo now posts on the group, nor does it appear in the e-mail. And what do we do if someone's real name is part or the whole of their e-mail address, or if the person signs off with their real name somewhere in the e-mail and does not care, and we respond to that? What if we repost an older post and the person's real name was in that? Buck is a nickname, but I assume others might use it where you live.

Hey Barry, I don't know what Doug's role in this was except it was after the fact of me emailing Rick. Funny troll graphic with non English speaker spelling. Thanks for understanding the need to be careful not to stir what must be kept in the ground. The Doug as CEO (his term) of FFL seems to be a case of someone wanting control of what other people say on the forum who was not popularly supported to take that role with us. There was no Yahoo guidelines problem here, this was a contrivance to assert unwanted control over posters here. The warning to Edg was the first indication of the new direction. I hope the push back on that as enough to stop further moves. Reading Edg without F bombs would be like drinking a Roy Rodgers at a bourbon bar. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb@... wrote : Thanks for explaining that, Curtis.

He responded by posting my personal Facebook page to out my real name AGAIN. While this was going on Doug was occupied scolding Edg for his word choices that have never given Yahoo groups any trouble since he has been posting here. So I emailed Rick who acted immediately to restore order in the kingdom. Last time R did this he got banned for a month but was brought back because he was being talked about and couldn't respond. Personally I would like to see him stay in his crypt this time. I have not experienced such bizarrely unwarranted online malice since the other malicious R was ousted for trying to F me on the search engines. Both times Rick acted to protect my participation here and I appreciate that. Posting on FFL has been a useful tool for me. I hope it can remain so.

Yoga Day Announcement All Maharishi Invincibility Centres worldwide to celebrate International Day of Yoga Founded by the United Nations 21 June 2015 It is a pleasure to invite all Sidhas and Meditators to join this special event to commemorate the United Nations International Day of Yoga. The annual event was proposed by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, and major celebrations will take place for India in New Delhi, and for the United Nations in New York City. 21 June is the solstice – midsummer day in the Northern Hemisphere, and midwinter day in the Southern Hemisphere – a traditional day to celebrate, and now we can add the theme of International Day of Yoga to our celebration, and bring Maharishi’s unique vision of Yoga to our Meditators and Sidhas, to the press, and to our country. The Eight Limbs of Yoga Most people understand Yoga mainly in terms of asanas (physical postures or exercises). However, Maharishi’s enlightened vision of Ashtanga Yoga (the Eight Limbs of Yoga) illuminates that the eight limbs grow together on the basis of the experience of Samadhi, Transcendental Consciousness. The reality of Yoga (unity) is to be created on all levels – body, mind, consciousness, society, and even World Peace. An opportunity This is an opportunity to highlight everything Maharishi taught us about Yoga in his supreme vision of integration of life, and what Maharaja Adhiraj Rajaraam has brought out in terms of Yoga in the physiology, to celebrate it, tell others, and enjoy spreading the influence of wellbeing for all mankind. See Maharaja-ji’s profound message below. The International Day of Yoga calls for an upsurge of unity in world consciousness. For this purpose, Maharishi’s global organization will hold events everywhere on that day to enliven the true value of Yoga in every country. We celebrate the simultaneous growth of unity in every area of life through contact with that level of unity that is fundamental to everything. Celebrate with Meditators and Sidhas at Maharishi Invincibility Centres There will be Coherence Day events with a National conference call to celebrate the International Day of Yoga throughout the United Kingdom. Please see the email of 11 June about the National Coherence Day, and please call your TM Centre for details of your local event. On the conference call, which will begin at 2.30 pm, Raja Peter will be speaking on the significance of the International Day of Yoga, and Dr William Sands, Dean of the College of Maharishi Vedic Science at Maharishi University of Management, will speak on 'The True Meaning of Yoga'. Facebook page The International Day of Yoga is being celebrated in Maharishi Invincibility Centres in 115 countries around the world where Transcendental Meditation is taught.

David Lynch is a public figure in the TM movement, and worldwide. He is not part of the FFL Yahoo group. He is in a different category than members of this group. Criticism of Lynch as a public figure is fair game on-line and in the press as long as it is not libel. I feel this is NOT a violation of Yahoo group guidelines and you are overstepping your authority. I find it incredibly difficult to find any message even a couple of days old. Neo has made it very difficult to locate past messages. However, I did find that post. You have got to be kidding 'dhamiltonyk5'. I believe I know someone who went on that course. That person did not get enlightened. I think that person is very gullible, based on considerations other than that person having gone on that course. Saying someone is gullible is a mere opinion, but it is something that could be backed up with evidence. Gullible: easily persuaded to believe something; credulous, naive, over-trusting, over-trustful, easily deceived, easily taken in, exploitable, dupable, impressionable, unsuspecting, un-suspicious, unwary, ingenuous, innocent, inexperienced, unworldly, green; Furthermore, it was not a non sequitur, 'TurquoiseBee' was responding to a similar event of gullibility, providing what he thought was another example of the same, so it was germane to the conversation. We have all been taken in by something in our lives. There are a lot of us who feel that the TMO has taken advantage of people's inexperience in certain areas of life, and that as a spiritual movement, it and those supporting it have in some ways gone off track. And if you have ever watched all of David Lynch's work, he is a pretty weird guy by most normal person standards. And that post was over 10 days ago. A moderator is supposed to be doing this more or less in real time, dealing with current 'offences', like the broadcast loop delay on live broadcasts a moderator can delete certain words in almost real time. This example is more like the Inquisition looking for someone as a scapegoat. I think anyone who took a course for a fee like that is out of their mind. Even worse than gullible. Unless they are thinking of it as a conscious donation to a cause they believe is real, it seems to lack judgement. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, dhamiltony2k5@... wrote : Additionally, “Exploitative or degrading comments are not welcome in Groups.” “..and don't invade other people's privacy.” The dragging of someone in to an unrelated thread as a means to slur them using FFL, a yahoo-group..

Whatever their legal names in life may be, now going forward you shall be moderate in this as Rick originally intended. Show self-restraint and respect for other people's privacy here. Simple.

You can't threaten people for complaining about you if they are justified in doing so. Thanks for getting my point. Since becoming moderator, Doug has been unable to find a single offence on the forum that he thought he could get away with moderating (a euphemism for deleting). Yet he seemingly has no intention of ceasing his endless rants about how this place needs moderation. Go figure. I'm merely suggesting that a case can be made that the only person still posting negativity to FFL on a regular basis and trying to bring people down by getting them to focus on it IS the moderator. And considering how much crap Tedious Dickwad posts on the average day that doesn't get as much as a mere mention from you one could almost say you are starting on a depressingly partisan note. I think we should all keep an eye on any potential hypocrisy from you. I suspect that such efforts would be justified. When the so-called moderator responds favorably to two people with a *long* history of stalking and harassing the posters they don't like on Fairfield Life, and in response threatens to delete posts by someone who is simply pointing out the moderator's *own* partisan bias, then something may just be rotten in the state of Denmark. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, richard@... wrote : This sounds seriously personal so we could probably all agree that it could be deleted from the archive without anyone missing it.

To constantly and consistently turn out those surreal cartoons of his that catch one off guard and leave you chuckling in a good frame of mind show that he has a hotline to the Creative Intelligence running the show. He certainly seems to have a feel for how seriously anyone should take religion. I believe he was the first syndicated cartoonist to feature god, and he got a lot of stick for it. It didn't bother the letter writers that he portrayed the great man as dignified with a flowing beard and light emanating from his halo, just by featuring the creator in a humorous setting he had blasphemed and his career nearly came to an early end. But then it did almost every week as nervous editors, scared of controversy, sought to censor the offending items. To be sure I'd have to dig out my copy of Larson's kinda biography The prehistory of the Far Side - where he details all his early battles to stay unmoderated - but I think the below is god's first appearance in a panel cartoon. Hard to believe that cartoons like these were ever considered contraversial by anyone: But then there are a lot of people who would kill you still for portraying an image like this of a holy figure, religious people can be fucking nuts I shouldn't have to tell you. They fear other people being different to them to the point that they will chop your head off. Saudi Arabia has executed 100 people this year for crimes like witchcraft and having opinions contrary to those of the religious authority. One guy got 10 years in jail and 1000 lashes for daring to suggest that religious societies stifle free speech and keep you in a self-perpetuating circle of fear. Nice of them to underline his point by punishing him like that really. Doubt he's seeing the funny side though the lashes are administered 10 a week. The UK minister for that sort of thing was asked in the commons what she thought about Saudi Arabia's shockingly medieval approach to crime and punishment and said that the UK supports free speech but isn't going to object to the Saudi's because the punishment gets the approval of the majority of Saudi society. The hell it does. Maybe it didn't occur to her that maybe people don't object for a reason? And it's nothing to do with the massive amounts of weapons we sell them, oh no. Or that our respective royal families are very good friends. Society seems to be held together by such slender threads. We used to bullshit that the reason we do trade with hideous foreign regimes is so they can be exposed to our superior values and then change their societies once they'd seen the light. I can't tell if that was just a sinister or self-deluding joke or not. But now that China holds all the trump cards I can't help feeling we're going to be sorry for not demanding social justice in countries we trade with before we ship them advanced weaponry systems.

Hardly surprising. Deserts are growing, overpopulation, changes in rainfall
patterns, deforestation. The water we need all ends up in the sea faster than
ever.
In the UK we need 250,000 new homes every year just to keep up with demand.
Most of those seem to be being built in my street, with gardens being turned
into blocks of flats. One bungalow became 6 very small semis, all of which will
have two cars but nowhere to park them, and all will be connected to the
rapidly dwindling water supply. There is never any more or less water on Earth,
do the people in charge ever think about that?
I think we should all be extra special bad so that god sends another flood to

[FairfieldLife] Coming Home in Mediating Fairfield, Iowa
I've always enjoyed this image of the boatmen. It holds a lot of the feeling of folks living now in what is become the retired meditating community in Fairfield, Iowa. The camaraderie of old friends, the meditation, pleasant diversions, coming home with the spiritual harvest after work in our case. -JaiGuruYou http://www.npr.org/2015/06/17/414729110/in-1846-the-jolly-flatboatmen-did-a-different-sort-of-river-dance http://www.npr.org/2015/06/17/414729110/in-1846-the-jolly-flatboatmen-did-a-different-sort-of-river-dance

[FairfieldLife] On Gratuitous invasions of privacy
“ ..and don't invade other people's privacy.” In going forward in accord with Rick's original intent for protecting privacy on FFL know that in responding [replying] to posts made on FFL an unsolicited use of someone's legal name on FFL is an invasion of privacy as it also is considered a violation of the yahoo-groups guidelines here. Expect to have your writing removed from FFL. Expect to have your posts moderated. Expect to have your membership revoked if such invasion of people's privacy continues either as by impulse without intent or with meditated intent to abuse someone by invasion of privacy as used in method. For instance, as people signing on to FFL do post and people do respond with replies then for example in reply: 'Turqb isTurqb', 'Fleetwood is Fleetwood', 'CDB is CDB', 'Serious is Serious', 'Buck is Buck', 'Nablusoss is Nablusoss', and 'Authfriend is Authfriend'. Whatever their legal names in life may be, now going forward you shall be moderate in this as Rick originally intended. Show self-restraint and respect for other people's privacy here. Simple.

I'm suggesting this because I think everyone here is aware that Doug is...uh...not quite in touch with reality these days, and tends to see things that aren't really there. So what I suggest is that if he is indeed given the power to ban someone, he cannot do so without reposting *the exact post* that Doug feels is in violation of the Yahoo Guidelines, and without explaining to the group *exactly why* he thinks this poster needs to be banned. Otherwise, you know what's going to happen. Doug will just ban the people he doesn't like, without telling *anyone*, and they'll just fall off the radar because they can't post any more, either to complain or to defend themselves.

[FairfieldLife] Gary Larson influence
I believe Larson's The Far Side inspired a whole new generation of cartoonists, although most of them have never been able to maintain the amount of consistency he achieved. If one (in the U.S) looks at the comics section in today's papers, it is terribly bland. When I was a child, there were many strips that were dramatic stories, science fiction, detectives, espionage, etc. Most of this is all gone. A whole new generation of cartoonists is appearing on the Internet given them the opportunity to discuss subjects that newspaper editors would shy away from, and Larson created that crack in the door. Larson made use of contradictory ideas such as in his panel showing a meat wagon about to crash into a vegetarian restaurant. The following cartoon appeared on a site called alarmingnews.com and the file name was 'unfunny joke' as someone did not like it but posted it from its original website. But the cartoon shows up the nature of hypocrisy, in which the human mind holds two opposing views at the same time. I feel Larson opened the way for cartoonists to deal with more an just simple-minded situation humour and although he typically did not delve into the darker side of human thought, he provided the inspiration for others to try these things out.
[FairfieldLife] International day of Yoga!
Yoga Day Announcement All Maharishi Invincibility Centres worldwide to celebrate International Day of Yoga Founded by the United Nations 21 June 2015 It is a pleasure to invite all Sidhas and Meditators to join this special event to commemorate the United Nations International Day of Yoga. The annual event was proposed by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, and major celebrations will take place for India in New Delhi, and for the United Nations in New York City. 21 June is the solstice – midsummer day in the Northern Hemisphere, and midwinter day in the Southern Hemisphere – a traditional day to celebrate, and now we can add the theme of International Day of Yoga to our celebration, and bring Maharishi’s unique vision of Yoga to our Meditators and Sidhas, to the press, and to our country. The Eight Limbs of Yoga Most people understand Yoga mainly in terms of asanas (physical postures or exercises). However, Maharishi’s enlightened vision of Ashtanga Yoga (the Eight Limbs of Yoga) illuminates that the eight limbs grow together on the basis of the experience of Samadhi, Transcendental Consciousness. The reality of Yoga (unity) is to be created on all levels – body, mind, consciousness, society, and even World Peace. An opportunity This is an opportunity to highlight everything Maharishi taught us about Yoga in his supreme vision of integration of life, and what Maharaja Adhiraj Rajaraam has brought out in terms of Yoga in the physiology, to celebrate it, tell others, and enjoy spreading the influence of wellbeing for all mankind. See Maharaja-ji’s profound message below. The International Day of Yoga calls for an upsurge of unity in world consciousness. For this purpose, Maharishi’s global organization will hold events everywhere on that day to enliven the true value of Yoga in every country. We celebrate the simultaneous growth of unity in every area of life through contact with that level of unity that is fundamental to everything. Celebrate with Meditators and Sidhas at Maharishi Invincibility Centres There will be Coherence Day events with a National conference call to celebrate the International Day of Yoga throughout the United Kingdom. Please see the email of 11 June about the National Coherence Day, and please call your TM Centre for details of your local event. On the conference call, which will begin at 2.30 pm, Raja Peter will be speaking on the significance of the International Day of Yoga, and Dr William Sands, Dean of the College of Maharishi Vedic Science at Maharishi University of Management, will speak on 'The True Meaning of Yoga'. Facebook page The International Day of Yoga is being celebrated in Maharishi Invincibility Centres in 115 countries around the world where Transcendental Meditation is taught. Group photos from the Coherence Day events and brief report will also be added tohttps://www.facebook.com/intlyogaday21june Message from Maharaja Adhiraj Raja Raam on the International day of Yoga, 21 June 2015 Yoga Day will no doubt become a milestone in human history, particularly if highlighted as the day of Unity. Yoga is unity between mind and body, between the individual and society, between all societies, between all nations and between all individual values of culture, tradition, belief systems, and racial differences. Yoga brings together all separate and even apparently conflicting and opposite values. The dynamics of creation and evolution require some things to move up, others to move down. Some aspects of nature are dry and some others are wet; some cool, some hot. When balanced they create the steps of transformation and evolution. Yoga is that aspect of Natural Law, that aspect of Veda, which guarantees that all diversity is progressing on the basis of supreme Unity. As brought to light by Maharishi, Yoga is not only one of the 40 aspects of Vedic science, which like all others make a profound theoretical contribution to knowledge, but it also has a practical aspect which allows every individual to directly experience and live supreme unity within diversity. Yoga Asana helps to balance the physiology and strengthen the body, thus promoting a healthy body for a healthy mind and improving mind-body coordination. This is unity between mind and body. However, the technologies of Yoga in the Vedic tradition, particularly as brought to light in the west by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi with Transcendental Meditation, while improving all aspects of mind, body, behavior and society, take the individual and society to the field of all unity – the unified field of all the Laws of Nature. Science today has glimpsed that field by showing that at the basis of all that is material and physical there are progressively more unified fields of electromagnetism, grand unification and ultimately the one Unified Field.

There is never any more or less water on Earth, do the people in charge ever think about that? I think we should all be extra special bad so that god sends another flood to punish us. Or maybe as that didn't work last time he's going to starve us out..

I told him that I keep my names separate on social media to prevent casual searches from combining my business and personal life. He responded by posting my personal Facebook page to out my real name AGAIN. While this was going on Doug was occupied scolding Edg for his word choices that have never given Yahoo groups any trouble since he has been posting here. So I emailed Rick who acted immediately to restore order in the kingdom. Last time R did this he got banned for a month but was brought back because he was being talked about and couldn't respond. Personally I would like to see him stay in his crypt this time. I have not experienced such bizarrely unwarranted online malice since the other malicious R was ousted for trying to F me on the search engines. Both times Rick acted to protect my participation here and I appreciate that. Posting on FFL has been a useful tool for me. I hope it can remain so. That way that happens IMO is for moderators to take out predators with clearly malicious agendas and leave the rest of the adults alone to post their mind freely with having to to worry: I wonder what another person with more prudish language standards than I have will think about what I write? We do too. Willytex is one of the very few few people here I won't miss because he really did just come here to stir trouble. What he got out of it is anyone's guess. I've been calling for Rick and Alex to set him free for ages because there must surely be something positive in his life for him to concentrate on. Who in their right mind would want to carry on wasting their time like that? Hope to see a bit more of you old chap. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb@... wrote : All of what I say below said, and meant, I don't think I'm alone here in saying that if the poster banned for outing someone turns out to be Tedious Dickhead, we can consider Doug's short tenure as FFL moderator a total success. :-) From: TurquoiseBee turquoiseb@...

Some hacker seems to have pasted it into your post, just after the announcement. Much of it (everything after the first 300 words or so) seems to have been written by a previous poster to Fairfield Life who, as I understand it, was specifically asked by Rick not to insinuate his faux persona into the duties of moderator. Just sayin'... I know you'll want to get right on this. Turq B survived the first putsch. That's a relief. Yeah. Like Michael, I seriously wondered when I pressed Send whether my post would go through. :-) But I think the guidelines will be posted regularly to keep the fear quotient high. Uniform blandness will be achieved! I have absolutely NO PROBLEM with the *actual* Yahoo-Groups Guidelines being posted regularly. What I object to are the 1,300+ words of insulting SPAM that Doug has chosen to follow them with. They were written by a fictional persona named Buck that Doug is not supposed to be channeling in his duties as FFL moderator. And yet Doug is reposting them as if *his rant* is an integral part of the guidelines. I find that remarkably un-self-aware and offensive. Not to mention being contrary to what he promised Rick.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Trump Runs for President
Licenses are often handled by the Harry Fox Agency. Rates can vary from cheap to the absurd. But back in the 1990s some of the record companies began offering 30 seconds of tunes in their catalog for $300 for some uses. A record company president told me he thought the Fox Agency was a bit out of step with the times when I told him how they wanted for title we wanted to use. But sometimes the artists retain enough control that they can intercede and offer tunes for use even for free if they like the project.

Song writers are not usually involved in rights negotiations directly. For example an acquaintance of mine paid about $500 to use four lines of one of Paul Simon's songs in a book. Simon was not involved at all, it was just a standard fee for a particular use, handled by his company. Be interesting to see how this will pan out. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, no_re...@yahoogroups.com wrote : Neil Young: Donald Trump wasn't authorized to use my song http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2015/06/17/neil-young-donald-trump-wasnt-authorized-to-use-my-song/ image http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2015/06/17/neil-young-donald-trump-wasnt-authorized-to-use-my-song/ Neil Young: Donald Trump wasn't authorized to use my... http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2015/06/17/neil-young-donald-trump-wasnt-authorized-to-use-my-song/ Neil Young isn't happy too with Donald Trump.
