..This, he said, can be effectively done by those who by long practice of 
meditation and various spiritual disciplines, had gained the privilege of being 
nearer to the seat of divine power and mercy. The saints .. therefore were in 
duty-bound to intercede on behalf of the people and invoke the grace of gods to 
alleviate human suffering."

[Mike Dixon mdixon.6...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

TM teachers are persnickety because Maharishi was when he was training 
teachers. He always drove home the difference between TM and other techniques 
when asked about them. He was *faulting* the other techniques and explained why 
TM was *better*. This is fine when you're teaching teachers. However, good 
manner s dictates you don't take that attitude when in *mixed* company. I don't 
recall M doing that when he was in the company of another teacher...run the 
other guys meditation down and build his up.
As I said earlier, can TM'ers know when to not run the other guys meditation 
down in order to look superior.

Well, for the cost of only 19 Euros a day I should go to the Mideast myself for 
the meditation. Someone here offered to sponsor me, except that the Dome 
meditation here is so badly broken I do feel to not want to abandon the 
position of this place to meditate with this small group as it is going here 
for the collective meditation in Fairfield anymore. 
 \
 However, if they have some European meditators who could go instead I shall 
send them such funds to help make that happen. 19 Euros a day is a small amount 
by comparison with leaving the Fairfield meditation. -JaiGuruYou

[FairfieldLife] IS Fighters Appear Shaken Up in Mosul

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

The Coalition forces have put fear in the hearts of the terrorists.  It is 
already known that the air force from the US and allied countries will drop 
bombs on the IS fighters before the Iraqi ground forces move in to eliminate 
the remaining terrorists who are still willing to fight.  In the end, Mosul 
will unfortunately be destroyed.  But this battle will be the turning point in 
the power struggle against the terrorist group.

 You still seem to be waiting for the rich to pee money down on you.  
"Trickle down" was the biggest scam of the 20th century.  What did we have up 
until Reagan?  We had "Small is Beautiful", "Live Simply So Others can Simply 
Live".  We were ready to bring the country back into balance.  But no, you had 
to support the rich, the Neocons because "hey, someday you may be rich." Dream 
on.

much the same here with Christ. Christ was pissed at the temple priests. They 
would tell the common man that he needed to make a sacrifice for his sins at 
the temple. He needed a special lamb, which the priest just happened to have 
for  sale, which he raised right down the road in Bethlehem. The priest was 
paid for the lamb, he raised and sold for such purposes plus he got to keep 
either all or at least half the lamb after it is sacrificed. See the meat 
market outside the Temple. The money changers took your Roman coins with images 
of the Cesar, a God,  and exchanged them, at a price, for Temple coins to buy 
the lamb with.It was a salvation racket! Jesus was on to it, I'm sure others 
were as well but Jesus raised hell about it in the temple and embarrassed the 
priests, hitting them in the pocket book. Of course , the temple priests were 
determined to get even and the rest is history.

    I don't think so but nutritional "experts" still don't get it. You have 
to eat what's right for your body type, something that is endemic in 
Ayurveda and Chinese medicine and even macrobiotics as taught by Japanese.

how superior TM is over any other technique. If not, I would recommend they not 
attend because it will end up causing more tension..

who could come immediately as sponsorships become available.

The top 10% paid 68% of all federal income taxes in 2011, though they earned 
45% of the the income.The bottom 50% paid 3% but earned 12% of the income. The

The deal is, I don't owe anybody anything nor do they owe me anything. I also 
live by a creed in which I don't *covet* what other people have and have earned.

    Doesn't matter. I paid more proportionately than all of them did, because I 
can't take tax breaks, or off-shore jobs for profit, or pay lobbyists to lower 
my tax rate. And I am supposed to be GRATEFUL for being ripped off by this 
class of oligarchs?? Am I supposed to bow my head in gratitude because some of 
the wealthy are as unprincipled as beasts, actually worse? I don't know where 
you are picking up your 'second-class citizen' thinking Mike. The "rich fucks" 
(those specifically working hard to avoid paying their taxes) would be happy to 
see you working for a dollar a day, with no benefits. What do you owe them, and 
how have they brainwashed you so successfully? 
PS I grew up among the wealthy, and believe me, they are no more special or 
intelligent or thoughtful or generous than the rest of us citizens of the 
United States of America. Just ordinary folks with fat wallets and an 
obligation to this great country to pay their fair share.

Chances are, those rich fucks,pay more in taxes every year than you pay in a

Are there crooks among them? Of course, just as there are crooks at every level

You say the system is screwed.Yep, but who created the system. Politicians. 
Politicians we all elected. Politicians that promised us all what we wanted to 
hear. Politicians that buy our votes. They tell you what you want to hear, you 
elect them and then they do what they want and profit off what they created, 
leaving you the short end of the stick and you want to get even.  So you elect 
them again and the beat goes on(modern day slavery)..BHO has nine months left 
and 1.1 trillion dollars to spend. He'll spend his time traveling while he can, 
seeing the world and blaming his failures on everyone else while he rules by 
executive order. When BHO was elected, he was probably worth a few hundred 
thousand and not off a Senate salary. He'll retire form office worth tens of 
millions, again not off of a Presidential salary. And are you any better off 
than you were eight years ago?

 I don't despise people for being rich - I am doing quite well myself, thank 
you. What I have an issue with is the lies and fantasies we are told, to keep 
an economic system in place that rewards the few, and hurts the many - "trickle 
down economics". There will always be people who earn more than others. No 
problem. But the playing field must be even. You don't get to become too big to 
fail, nor do you get to avoid your taxes in a democracy. 
If you read what I have said consistently, I have never proposed communism, or 
any other political/economic system. No, but everyone must play by the rules. 
These rich fucks, stashing their money overseas, or having a deeply cynical 
attitude about this country, and feeling justified to not pay taxes like the 
rest of us, make me puke. Screw them, and if you align with that bunch, you 
deserve the same fate. No one enjoys being exploited, and the citizens of this 
country have had enough. Even Warren Buffett puts on a show of wishing his 
taxes were higher. (Clearly speaking out of both sides of his mouth, as he 
could freely donate his fair share to the 

[FairfieldLife] Activist Meditators and A day of silent prayer ..Meditation 's Going Mainstream

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

Should TM’ers condescend to send in support a group of meditators to help?
 

 The Contemplative Prayer and Reflection Group in Burlington will host a Day of 
Silent Prayer from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Saturday at Christ Episcopal Church, 
and everyone is welcome.  There’s never a bad day for prayer.
 

 People are welcome to drop in or out as they choose.
 Those arriving late are asked to enter quietly.
 

 The science on people joining in collective meditation
 would indicate a priority in joining groups to meditate.

 The secular approach to meditation is opening a lot of doors right now when it

 Meditation has been around for more than 2,500 years, but it has taken a 
secular approach and scientific research — not to mention added publicity from 
technology companies like Google and Apple, which encourage employees to 
meditate — to reintroduce it into popular culture. But can meditation, and its 
cousin, “mindfulness,” become staples of urban life the way that yoga, a rarity 
until the early 1990s, has become a widespread activity?

 As the practice of mindfulness is packaged and peddled, it’s hard not to 
wonder if something essential is being lost.

 With so many mindful goods and services for sale, it can be easy to forget 
that mindfulness is a quality of being, not a piece of merchandise.

 

  ..while purists sometimes wrung their hands about its commercialization, 
their lamentations were in vain. Let loose in the American marketplace, yoga 
took on a life of its own. Now, she said, the same thing is happening with 
mindfulness.

 

 ..Though this may result in less signal and more noise, it doesn’t mean 
mindfulness can’t still be beneficial. Yoga may have changed over the years, 
but plenty of authentic teachers and ashrams can still be found. The same 
dynamic will most likely play out with mindfulness, too. Strange variations on 
mindfulness will proliferate, while pockets of traditional teachings endure.
