Tell that to the Greeks or other ethnic cultures who use different 
meters and even mixed meters.  Unsquare Dance is broken into 12 12 123 
for 7/4.  Some composers will do 1234 123.

So, I have this friend who is a real foodie, an event planner and basic gad 
about town who knows where all the cool things are happening as well as where 
you can get the best food and libation. She often has these small soirees at 
her Victorian home down in the oldest part of Victoria and tonight this is her 
menu. While I don't eat red meat this looks like I won't go home hungry. In 
addition, she has all these really wonderful cocktails and all served on silver 
trays by her hired (for the night) help.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Prajnaparamita: New Interview on Buddha at the Gas Pump - 12/22/2015

[emptyb...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

This woman has read too much and listened to too many teachings.
She still thinks she is "doing" it although she claims to be "empty" and 
without a S/self.

She calls herself ... Prajñaparmita.
This is a Buddhist sacred wisdom text, occasionally personified as a goddess in 
East Asia.
Someone who calls names themself "Prajñaparamita" is either delusional or 
scamming the ignorant.

Calling oneself Prajñaparamita" is the Eastern equivalent of calling oneself 
Hagia Sophia (Holy Wisdom) 
or maybe even "Holy Mary - Mother Of God".

So would Rick be interviewing someone called themselves "Holy Wisdom" or "Holy 
Mary Mother of God".
If so then Rick has descended into interviewing the scammers or the 
psychopathic.

This is why Traditional Indian Sampradaya-s and even the traditional Christian 
Churchs (Catholic and Orthodox)
don't put up this bullshit.

And Yes ... I did listen to the interview.

Yeah, I've read that he came from Concord, but the last time I was in that town 
was when I was in high school.  La Salle High School just opened their school 
and invited our school band to play for them, since we were affiliated.
 

 I've tried playing Take Five on my saxophone with the band.  But it's hard to

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Group Meditation Peace Assembly for EU Meeting

[dhamiltony...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

On a societal scale, the approach of restoring calm and quelling social 
violence through the use of similar techniques by small embedded groups in 
society has been extensively field tested—in the Middle East and throughout the 
world. The consistent result has been marked reductions in terrorism, war, and 
social violence in the affected populations. These findings have been 
replicated in more than 50 studies, published in leading peer-reviewed 
scientific journals, and endorsed by hundreds of leading scientists and 
scholars. The efficacy of this approach is scientifically beyond question.
 

---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,  wrote :

 Research Confirms Effectiveness.  
 

 The initial experimental verification of this new approach took place during 
the 1982 Lebanon war. A day-by-day study of an embedded group of peace-creating 
experts in 1983 showed that, on days when the number of participants was high, 
war deaths dropped by 76% (p < 10-7 ). In addition, crime, traffic accidents, 
fires, and other indicators of social stress all decreased significantly. Other 
possible causes were statistically controlled for (Journal of Conflict 
Resolution 32: 776–812, 1988).
 

---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,  wrote :

 These results were subsequently replicated in seven consecutive experiments 
over a two year period during the peak of the Lebanon war. The results of these 
interventions included:  • war-related fatalities decreased by 71% (p < 10-10) 
 • war-related injuries fell by 68% (p < 10-6 ) 
 • the level of conflict dropped by 48% (p < 10-8 ) 
 • cooperation among antagonists increased by 66% (p < 10-6 )

 

---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,  wrote :

 The likelihood that these combined results were due to chance is less than one 
part in 1019, making this effect of reducing societal stress and conflict the

 I think if they want to teach TM in schools or in prisons or to the men and

70's and the 80's (this is when I was practicing it and attending MIU etc) and 
it seems dated to me. While I have no problem with the technique or anyone 
practicing it, all the other hooplah seems like a money grab and borders on a 
bunch of hooey. If the die hards sitting around moldering on Purusha or Mother 
Divine want to continue to do so, all the power to them but this is for the 
equivalent of the fanatics in TM, IMO. The fact that some of my former 
classmates at the ripe old age of nearly 60 choose to live in FF is fairly 
quaint I'm pretty sure I couldn't manage it. That part seems all about 
community, though, which is fine as it is probably better than retirement in 
some old folks home.

   Fortunately, there is a better solution—an innovative, peaceful, proven 
approach with a superior track record.

 

 Economic sanctions and diplomatic pressure are ineffective against terrorism. 
And military responses can further antagonize and enflame an already volatile 
population, leading to retaliation and greater terrorism—the inevitable 
consequence of attempting to create peace through violence. How, then, can such 
dangerous and complex threats be resolved?

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Peace on Earth?

Square Dancing itself has really taken hold in meditating Fairfield as a 
subset.  Club square dancing in America generally has been in long decline but 
what has happened is a marvel that square dancing has erupted [revived] more 
recently in Fairfield as a vehicle of social interaction. The rote form seems 
to appeal to the white collar demographic within the meditating community.

 An aspect different here from larger [anonymous] urban America now is that 
Fairfield, Iowa meditators are a recognizable community in their own way.  
Meditators as a group have a communal demographic in a way that America is not 
as communal as it may have been earlier in the 20th Century whence square 
dancing was integral to rural social fabrics.

Originally from the Netherlands, Prajnaparamita has been in search of her true 
nature all her life. Initially investigating and studying psychology, religion

 I think I remember why I was laughing so hard when we were doing this was 
because I didn't know what I was doing (the friendly towns folk helped a lot) 
and it moves really fast and you keep going the wrong way and then have to 
reverse yourself and it all starts to resemble some Three Stooges blundering 
around while the rest of the group is looking all slick and on track. Anyway, 
try it sometime. It's also a pretty good workout.

 This also reminds me when I was a student at MIU and I had this boyfriend who 
was with me in the art department. He was too nice a guy for me, in the end, a 
bit too soft spoken and conservative but a lovely person nevertheless. Here I 
was the girl tearing up the carpet at the Student Union dances and he actually 
talked me into attending WALTZING CLASSES in the gym. I went, we waltzed. 
Perhaps that is when I broke up with him - after dance class number 2 or 3. LOL

[FairfieldLife] Re: Unsquare Dance

[jr_...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

Typical Dave Brubeck, a jazz innovator.  But that's a tough beat to dance with. 
 But Earth, Wind and Fire in the 1970s created a different soul sound by using 
6/4 time and 6/8 time.  The sound is more understandable with a slow funk.  But 
it's difficult to play, especially when the musicians have to dance in unison 
for a choreographed performance.

[feste37]

All this enthusiasm for dancing is putting me in quite a tizz. I do not dance. 
II once took ballroom dancing lessons for about four months, but I found that 
it took a long time for a message from my brain to reach my feet, by which time 
the music had moved on. It didn't help either that I had a partner who from 
time to time, as I was clumsily maneuvering her around the floor, would say, 
"Feste, I'm bored." Wimmin!
