[FairfieldLife] Jazz Prodigy from Indonesia

2016-02-14 Thread jr_...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]

His name is Joey Alexander.  Where did he get this talent?  His style sounds 
like Keith Jarrett.  He claims to have listened to jazz while still in his 
mother's womb.  Or, is he a reincarnation of an old jazz legend?  What do you 
think?

No, it was Supreme Court justices who ruled on Roe v. Wade, not "shyster 
lawyers." Lawyers, shyster or otherwise, don't get to rule on anything. Only 
judges or justices can do that. 

 And please don't tell me what I can and can't see. You don't have a clue.

 Let me spell it out. Here in Europe abortion rights are not a live issue. The 
right of a woman to have an abortion is widely supported.
 

 But I *never, ever* heard anyone argue that "personal privacy" was the reason 
they favoured a woman's right to choose. 
 

 Your judges voted as they did simply and purely because of their belief that 
terminations should be a matter of the free choice of an individual. The 
privacy angle was a transparent rationalisation. 
 

 You can't see that blindingly obvious point because you support the decision 
(as do I, more-or-less) and you won't open your eyes to the usurpation by 
judges of what the electorate should have decided.

Re "Leave it to the individual states to decide" :
 

 My view also. And one of the most attractive features of the US federal 
structure.
 

 Here in the UK you can foul the atmosphere in a pub by asking if someone is 
for or against fox hunting/the ban on handguns/the smoking ban/ . . . 
 

 I always say: "What? Little old me rule on such a complex issue?" I hold that 
individual local authorities should be left to decide what laws apply in their 
area. True diversity! And ultimately it comes down to local democracy.

I am not a student of the Constitution, but passage of a constitutional 
amendment is a rather arduous process, and questions about the meaning of the 
constitution with regard to certain issues, is something that comes up all the 
time, and is, in most cases, the purview of the Supreme Court.  I am not sure 
we want to go the route of amending the constitution every time an issue of 
interpretation arises.  Just my opinion, of course.

It's almost prohibitively difficult, actually; it was designed to be. And it 
can take years. 

 Those who are not originalists (don't know the term for them) don't 
necessarily interpret the original wording in a way that is "clearly at odds 
with the obvious reading." It's much more complicated than that. Nor are 
originalist interpretations always perfectly straightforward and unambiguous.
 

 In one sense, you have voted for those who interpret the Constitution: You 
voted for the office holders who appoint them and those who approve (or not) 
the appointments.

CNN  is right wing? Boy, that is news to me!  I always figured Fox to be the 
lone wolf of conservative media. I'm just curious, who do you think is 
conservative on CNN or any other media outlet other than Fox? As far as 
Republicans being the party of big Business, I think that's a myth. I think big 
business donates to both parties just about equally. At least the smart ones 
do. It's all a bribe for access, a heads up as to what's to come, and ways 
around legislation to come. Certain businesses will naturally gravitate towards 
Republicans, others towards Democrats.

Republicans are well understood to be the party of Big Biz, so they throw

CNN and FOX come to mind. There are some liberal outlets, but the most heavily

Re "Allowing for changing attitudes" :

 If people's attitudes have changed they will vote for representatives who 
share their views and who will amend the constitution accordingly. 
 

 See how it works? The people decide; and not shyster lawyers.

“Originalism, as defined by Justice Scalia and others, is that what is in the
Constitution literally is what the founding fathers meant.”

Conservative TM Maharishi Originalism: That Maharishi set it up the way he did
as an enlightened soul and teacher, that he knew what he was doing, and it
needs to stay that way.

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

'Originalism', this becomes a useful critique for distinguishing the religious
faith-and-belief-in- Maharishi conservative TM ideologic zealotry on the one
hand from progressive practitioner elements who in experience would like to see
things evolve and work out well for the TM movement.

“And there's no such thing as an evolution of ideas and an evolution of
society. ..He wouldn't buy that, ..He believed the same thing in interpretation
of statutes (Movement admin policy, guidelines, and instruction), that the
words (originalist) on the page are all that counts. That legislative history,
that constitutional history, they don't count much if at all. What matters is
the intent at the time. To put it most bluntly, "I mean what I say and not any
more or any less."

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

Standing like Constitutional Original-ists, the faith-in-Maharishi religionist
TM'ers inside TM at the top for decades have contended and winnowed things down
fundamentally in their own minds that, “Fairfield is for those who have 'faith
and belief' in Maharishi and everyone else should leave us alone”.

That wish, that people without 'faith-and-belief' should leave, would have to
be taken apart and looked at to see how it has actually gone down. A lot of
meditators have come and left and some lot of meditators have stayed on for
their own good reasons. Clearly the Dome group meditation numbers are really
tiny. Donations to the University and undergraduate enrollment tight. Has
Bevan gotten his wish? That those who do not have 'faith-and-belief in
Maharishi', “..should leave and leave us alone”?

“Be careful what you wish for in this world, for if you wish hard enough you
are sure to get it. I once heard a very wise many say this, and the longer I
live the more firmly I believe it to be true.” The Atlantic monthly, Volume 67.

In zeal as 'Original-ists' having stood in way of progressive elements also in

Supreme Court in restraining and obstructing societal evolution.
The difference evidently is that though there are a lot of opinions and
feelings about how it should go for TM and many have their many firm
'Maharishi-saids', there evidently is not 'written' preamble, constitution
guiding or bylaws governing TM that people easily share.

Everyone seems to have their own lists of 'Maharishi-Saids' to stand on
separately.

MD,

It appears that the Mex-Tex hot cuisine was too much for his body chemistry in
San Antonio. Or, it could be that the devas of the region were the agents of
death or the minions of Lord Yama, the lord of death in vedic lore.

   The two extreme polar opposites as possibly electable candidates is a pretty 
interesting scenario for this country, reflecting as you state, the increasing 
social and economic stress of the need for change on so many levels.  Hillary 
is in the middle of this maelstrom and trying to establish herself as the 
candidate of the "middle way."

 I am anything but apathetic, however Trump is very much a creation of our 
design. Big Biz feels increasingly emboldened by the steady stream of successes 
they have accomplished; off-shoring jobs, wage stagnation, lowest taxes ever 
especially for the investment bankers, no minimum wage increases, off-shore 
bank accounts for tax evasion, trillion dollar bailouts with no jail time, and 
the list continues. This creation of a wealthy class essentially above the law, 
with its consequent strain on our economy, has created a tremendous amount of 
social stress as well. So the conditions are perfect for someone like Trump to 
show up, throw out a lot of simplistic ideas and slogans, and draw big crowds 
and media attention. He is getting a lot of power from people's 
dissatisfaction, and continues to tell them what they want to hear. He is a 
mirror of our social discontent.
 

 Fortunately, in addition to the fantasy offered by Trump, Bernie Sanders is 
providing the *rational response* to these very skewed economic conditions, by 
setting out some fairly simple fixes centered around all of us paying our fair 
share of taxes. Getting everyone to pay their fair share, especially those who 
employ armies of tax consultants for tax avoidance, is not a fix in and of 
itself, but it will ensure we all have equal skin in the game. Governor Kasich, 
one of the Republican candidates, said that during the GW Bush administration, 
by allowing the rich to avoid taxes and starting two wars, we blew a FIVE 
TRILLION dollar surplus. That would kind of come in handy now...
 

 So we created Trump, his power and his ugly ideas, but the same conditions 
have also created an opening for Bernie Sanders, and getting this country off 
this dysfunctional path of easy fixes up front, with devastating consequences 
later.

Doing nothing is usually better than doing something wrong, at least until you 
can do something right. I think Maharishi said something like that once. I 
think that was also a tactic taught be Guru Dev. Delay wrongful activity until 
the desire leaves.

Yes, putting off a new life time justice for a year and allowing it to be a 
campaign issue for the people to decide is not a bad idea. Any decisions made 
by the SC until then, that are ties, can be rehashed later when there is a 
tiebreaker.Anti-Christ? "Woe be unto those that call *good* evil and *evil* 
good". Scalia was pro-life, while anyone Obama would nominate would be pro 
-abortion and if in full line with Obama, would deny life saving care to a baby 
that survived an abortion. Christ equals Eternal life and Anti- Christ, just 
the opposite.

I make no apology for saying "good riddance" to the passing of Antonin the Anti

The emails are such a red herring - nothing there. A witch hunt. They haven't 
turned up *anything* - if they had, it would be front page news. This is just a 
typical tactic to create F-U-D around the opposition.  

 Personally, I think the acid test should be a standard photo op by all 
candidates, both parties, with a choice of either standing upright in a tank 
turret with helmet on, or strutting about a carrier deck in a flight-suit with 
enhanced bulges. It would winnow the field in a hurry.

   The two extreme polar opposites as possibly electable candidates is a pretty 
interesting scenario for this country, reflecting as you state, the increasing 
social and economic stress of the need for change on so many levels.  Hillary 
is in the middle of this maelstrom and trying to establish herself as the 
candidate of the "middle way."

 I am anything but apathetic, however Trump is very much a creation of our 
design. Big Biz feels increasingly emboldened by the steady stream of successes 
they have accomplished; off-shoring jobs, wage stagnation, lowest taxes ever 
especially for the investment bankers, no minimum wage increases, off-shore 
bank accounts for tax evasion, trillion dollar bailouts with no jail time, and 
the list continues. This creation of a wealthy class essentially above the law, 
with its consequent strain on our economy, has created a tremendous amount of 
social stress as well. So the conditions are perfect for someone like Trump to 
show up, throw out a lot of simplistic ideas and slogans, and draw big crowds 
and media attention. He is getting a lot of power from people's 
dissatisfaction, and continues to tell them what they want to hear. He is a 
mirror of our social discontent.
 

 Fortunately, in addition to the fantasy offered by Trump, Bernie Sanders is 
providing the *rational response* to these very skewed economic conditions, by 
setting out some fairly simple fixes centered around all of us paying our fair 
share of taxes. Getting everyone to pay their fair share, especially those who 
employ armies of tax consultants for tax avoidance, is not a fix in and of 
itself, but it will ensure we all have equal skin in the game. Governor Kasich, 
one of the Republican candidates, said that during the GW Bush administration, 
by allowing the rich to avoid taxes and starting two wars, we blew a FIVE 
TRILLION dollar surplus. That would kind of come in handy now...
 

 So we created Trump, his power and his ugly ideas, but the same conditions 
have also created an opening for Bernie Sanders, and getting this country off 
this dysfunctional path of easy fixes up front, with devastating consequences 
later.

[FairfieldLife] Maharishi Vedic Organic CSA

2016-02-14 Thread Doug Hamilton dhamiltony...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]

In spiritual experience, ..nature has an eightfold divided aspect, and a 
twofold undivided aspect—the 8 prakritis, along with Paraprakriti and Purusha. 
During 50 years, Maharishi brought to light a complete science of life from the 
Vedic literature of India including programs in 40 areas. In the last 10 years 
of his life, Maharishi unfolded Vedic Organic Agriculture—because the quality 
of mind and body is directly affected by the food we eat.

| Dear Supporter of Maharishi’s Programs,We are excited to announce that for 
the first time ever you can enjoy Maharishi Vedic Organic produce no matter 
where you live in America. This is through our new nationwide 2016 CSA 
(Community Supported Agriculture). In our local community, we have already been 
able to enjoy Vedic Organic produce during the growing season at the MUM Dining 
Hall, The Raj, Everybody’s, Golden Dome Market, Hy-Vee, and natural food stores 
around Iowa including New Pioneer Coops, Wheatsfield, and Whole Foods Market. 
That will continue. But now, we are offering this Vedic produce to our wider 
community in the U.S. You can have a box of abundant, freshly picked, Vedic 
Organic vegetables delivered directly to your home or office every week from 
mid-April through November through our CSA.And if this is not enough, and you 
have a garden, we can send you young Vedic vegetable and flower plants, ready 
to plant in your garden. Please click here to find out how you can be 
surrounded by your own Vedic garden wherever you live in America. |

Vedic Organic Agriculture—because the quality of mind and body is directly 
affected by the food we eat.Vedic Pandits trained in India residing at their 
campus in Maharishi Vedic City perform very specific live Vedic recitations to 
the plants in our greenhouses at each of the eight stages of the plants’ 
development—from seed to seed—creating an enriched vitality and balance in the 
plants that you’ll enjoy in the vegetables.  |

perform live Vedic recitations daily to the plants. |
| Dr. John Konhaus who worked with Maharishi for many years on this program 
describes it as follows: “From the very beginning Maharishi explained why Vedic 
Organic Agriculture is truly Brahm Vidya or Total Knowledge. He elaborated that 
nature has an eightfold divided aspect, and a twofold undivided aspect—the 8 
prakritis, along with Paraprakriti and Purusha. By enlivening and balancing the 
8 prakritis in the food, Maharishi said we could create real Vedic food, food 
that was capable of developing higher states of consciousness.” This is what 
Maharishi called “Vedic Food for Vedic Life.” It is food for enlightenment. 
That is why we wanted to make this food available not only in our local 
community but to everyone in our broader community around the US who cares 
about their own enlightenment.We look forward to seeing the rising of Vedic 
America, Invincible America, through this new avenue of Maharishi Vedic Organic 
Agriculture.Best wishes for a happy, healthy, prosperous, and enlightened 
life.Jai Guru DevDr. Bob Wynne, Mayor of Maharishi Vedic City, and

Mike, only on the wing nut pages, which all jump on board and use the same
word (in this case "indict") or phrase and then all write the same story and
are first in line when one searches! Here's the reality
Right-wing media have consistently pushed the dubious claim that Democratic
presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will be indicted for using a private
email server during her time as secretary of state. However, legal and
intelligence experts continue to point out that such claims baselessly
speculate that the former secretary intentionally mishandled classified
material, a crucial component of criminal
charges.http://mediamatters.org/research/2016/02/01/experts-push-back-against-right-wing-media-clai/208297.

private server issue and the FBI is currently focusing on State Department

What bugs me about Rubio is his line,which he (at least up till now), repeats

is just rhetoric, but it's not his choice. It's the choice of the American

    I love how politicians can say whatever they want, especially in the heat 
of the moment, and think they can get away with it. Just sling any old fact or 
insult at your competitor and you hope no one will realize it is pure bull 
sheet. Last night was certainly an interesting circus, or more accurately, more 
like watching 12 year old boys during recess taunt each other and the other 
guy's relatives in an attempt to 'one up' each other. Seeing shots of the 
audience reaction was priceless - even the stuffed shirt conservatives in the 
crowd seemed to be there more for the entertainment value than the content. 
They certainly got their money's worth - it was a fiasco on lots of levels and 
I took personal delight in all of the booing coming at Trump as a result of the 
bombast that issued from his ugly hole of a mouth.

[FairfieldLife] The Usual

2016-02-14 Thread awoelfleba...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]

I love how politicians can say whatever they want, especially in the heat of 
the moment, and think they can get away with it. Just sling any old fact or 
insult at your competitor and you hope no one will realize it is pure bull 
sheet. Last night was certainly an interesting circus, or more accurately, more 
like watching 12 year old boys during recess taunt each other and the other 
guy's relatives in an attempt to 'one up' each other. Seeing shots of the 
audience reaction was priceless - even the stuffed shirt conservatives in the 
crowd seemed to be there more for the entertainment value than the content. 
They certainly got their money's worth - it was a fiasco on lots of levels and 
I took personal delight in all of the booing coming at Trump as a result of the 
bombast that issued from his ugly hole of a mouth.

Don't know about all that. He supports her and has been in her camp a long
time. The group was founded by a think tank that works to communicate
progressive ideas.

In 1996, Brock surprised conservatives by publishing a somewhat sympathetic
biography of Hillary Clinton https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary_Clinton,
titled The Seduction of Hillary Rodham. Having received a $1 million advance
and a tight one-year deadline from Simon & Schuster
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_%26_Schuster's then-conservative-focused
Free Press subsidiary, Brock was under tremendous pressure to produce another
bestseller. However, the book contained no major scoops. In Blinded by the
Right (2002), Brock said that he had reached a turning point: he had thoroughly
examined charges against the Clintons, could not find any evidence of
wrongdoing and did not want to make any more misleading claims. Brock further
said that his former friends in right-wing politics
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-wing_politics shunned him because Seduction
did not adequately attack the Clintons. He also argued that his "friends" had
not really been friends at all because of the open secret that Brock was gay
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexuality.

Right-wing media have consistently pushed the dubious claim that Democratic
presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will be indicted for using a private
email server during her time as secretary of state. However, legal and
intelligence experts continue to point out that such claims baselessly
speculate that the former secretary intentionally mishandled classified
material, a crucial component of criminal charges.

If I were a Democrat, I wouldn't be getting my hopes up about Hillary right
now. There is serious talk that she is going to be indicted, at least on the
private server issue and the FBI is currently focusing on State Department
E-mails ending up in the Clinton Foundation and how they connect with Clinton
Foundation donations from foreigners. The FBI could be asking for an indictment
or indictments within the next few weeks.

won't be the case.

What bugs me about Rubio is his line,which he (at least up till now), repeats
ad nauseam, "HILLARY CLINTON IS NOT QUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT". I recognize it
is just rhetoric, but it's not his choice. It's the choice of the American

[FairfieldLife] Re: Nirgun and Sargun

2016-02-14 Thread devindersingh gulati dgulh...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]

>>> But nirgun braham is also described as the experience of the illusion of 
>>> the world, shunya or Nirvana where the sole reality 
>>> is the featureless braham. This braham is passive or static.
The sargun braham on the other hand is active. This experience leaves one with 
the realisation that the ONE is in all, and this is the realisation Nanak 
reported. So which realisation did he have? <<<

The matter has been clarified in letters on yoga:

One may be aware of the essential static self without relation to the play of 
the cosmos. Again one may be aware of the universal static self omnipresent in 
everything without being progressively awake to the movement of the dynamic 
visvaprakrti. The first realisation of the Self or Brahman is often a 
realisation of something that separates itself from all form, name, action, 
movement, exists in itself only, regarding the cosmos as only a mass of 
cinematographic shapes unsubstantial and empty of reality. That was my own 
first complete realisation of the Nirvana in the Self. That does not mean a 
wall between Self and Brahman, but a scission between the essential 
self-existence and the manifested world.
http://motherandsriaurobindo.in/#_StaticContent/SriAurobindoAshram/-09 
E-Library/-01 Works of Sri Aurobindo/-01 English/-02_Other Editions/On Yoga 2 - 
Letters on Yoga - Tome One/-03_INTEGRAL YOGA AND OTHER PATHS.htm

It was the static Nirvana experience, but of universal self. The essential 
static self would be the condition prior to that.
Apparently, Sargun braham (active braham with creative force) was not his 
experience.
Sri Aurobindo describes the Nirvana experience thus:
 Now to reach Nirvana was the first radical result of my own yoga. It threw me 
suddenly into a condition above and without thought, unstained by any mental or 
vital movement; there was no ego, no real world—only when one looked through 
the immobile senses, something perceived or bore upon its sheer silence a world 
of empty forms, materialised shadows without true substance. There was no One 
or many even, only just absolutely That, featureless, relationless, sheer, 
indescribable, unthinkable, absolute, yet supremely real and solely real. This 
was no mental realisation nor something glimpsed somewhere above,—no 
abstraction,—it was positive, the only positive reality—although not a spatial 
physical world, pervading, occupying or rather flooding and drowning this 
semblance of a physical world, leaving no room or space for any reality but 
itself, allowing nothing else to seem at all actual, positive or substantial. I 
cannot say there was anything
 exhilarating or rapturous in the experience, as it then came to me,—(the 
ineffable Ananda I had years afterwards),—but what it brought was an 
inexpressible Peace, a stupendous silence, an infinity of release and freedom. 
I lived in that Nirvana day and night before it began to admit other things 
into itself or modify itself at all, and the inner heart of experience, a 
constant memory of it and its power to return remained until in the end it 
began to disappear into a greater Superconsciousness from above. But meanwhile 
realisation added itself to realisation and fused itself with this original 
experience. At an early stage the aspect of an illusionary world gave place to 
one in which illusion1 is only a small surface phenomenon with an immense 
Divine Reality behind it and a supreme Divine Reality above it and an intense 
Divine Reality in the heart of everything that had seemed at first only a 
cinematic shape or shadow. And this was no reimprisonment
 in the senses, no diminution or fall from supreme experience, it came rather 
as a constant heightening and widening of the Truth; it was the spirit that saw 
objects, not the senses, and the Peace, the Silence, the freedom in Infinity
