[FairfieldLife] Re: Countering a Post-Modern Spiritual Disabling of the Human Being..

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

Dear Meditators, Sidhas, and Governors of Fairfield and Maharishi Vedic City,

1.  We’ve stumbled upon an amazing and very timely video of Maharishi putting 
political events into perspective. We think you will be delighted — and in some 
cases much relieved — to hear what he has to say.  

 

Read on...

On Wednesday, December 14th, at 8 PM, in Dalby Hall we will play a video from 
May 5th, 1992, where Maharishi addresses the upheavals of the phase transition 
and how we can help it move along while keeping ourselves from getting overcome 
by current events in the world. Irrespective of your political orientation we 
think you will find this video healing and harmonizing after an emotional 
election period.* Raja John Hagelin will introduce the video.
 

 Jai Guru Dev,
 Ideal Community Group

* We want to make it absolutely clear that neither Maharishi Foundation nor MUM 
take any position on national politics.

 News and media must produce and they have nothing solid to talk about!  Nearly 
all is speculation & anxiety of anticipation to fill time and 
media/electronics.  Unfortunately this mode of thinking is infectious  to the 
masses of people... cluttering the minds of all to the extent of mass confusion 
in sorting reality;  this obsession with conveying gossip and speculation 
produces  convictions blinding rational thoughts & feelings.  
 

 Noting that the election is over...not subject to change.  About 50% 
of voters were complacent with slow change using perennially implanted  
policies and tactics, and about 50% want to tear up the garden and to replant 
large tracts.  We all must await new leaders , advisors, programs, approaches.  
 So far we have not had definitive guidance revealing the future.  As objective 
decisions occur and as consequences appear everyone will be able to carp and 
guide within the new guidelines.  There are impeachment and periodic 
electionsif we survive.   Current disorder of thinking simulates the 
1840-1860s. And again 1870s to 1890s.  Be observant and patient!  Some say 
meditation and Eastern philosophy are helpful in these times.

solutions that people can hang onto but by demonizing the opposition. And 
that's the danger in the society we're living into today.  ..And it's not just 
in the United States. It's beyond that, which means that the period after

peaceful alternation - of power is acceptable.” -NPR

Re: [FairfieldLife] Contrary to MMY's ideas, a businessman recommends

..They sit back and wait and meditate for ever and a day and nothing gets done 
or is half-ass done.  
 'Effectiveness' by comparison, say in comparison to Ammachi’s movement, maybe 
it was just poor/bad administrative culture by contrast in TM?  I heard of a 
comment recently by someone assessing Fairfield, Iowa who is not in the TM 
movement but on the Ammachi tour and organization saying that the meditating 
community in Fairfield, by this person’s observation in passing, was not 
effective as a community at getting things done. That Fairfield, Iowa 'is not 
really an ashram'.   
 

While ‘Meditating Fairfield, Iowa’ functions in so many ways as a community but 
in some way effectiveness was not important in TM organization after the 
1970’s. The metrics of how it was going disappeared from then.  Now in what is 
a post-founder democratic corporate phase of the org: performance, 
effectiveness and competency is being more closely looked at to drive policy. 
Embedded culture is slow to change. Things evidently are in change. 
 

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

 This depends on community effectiveness too.  For a time at a time the 
community of TM was more effective where mission and metrics were more 
transparent. The ‘movement’ community was more effectively inclusive and more 
effectively used. That seemed to change after the mid-70’s with the advent of 
teams-of-four overthrow and again with the pivot of the Vedic science course in 
India.  Some decades later now under corporate democracy what is left remaining 
of TM as a community seems to be moving back to clearer mission operating more 
according to metric.

[FairfieldLife] Ayurvedic Comfort Foods

[Dick Mays dickm...@lisco.com [FairfieldLife]]

Just in time for the season’s overindulgences, here’s some very helpful 
guidance from Maharishi Ayurveda for what we eat!


http://www.mapi.com/ayurvedic-knowledge/ayurvedic-diet/ayurvedic-comfort-foods.html#gsc.tab=0
Ayurvedic Comfort Foods

What do you think of when you hear the words "comfort food?" Mashed potatoes 
and gravy at Thanksgiving, Rocky Road ice cream in the middle of the night or 
cream donuts for breakfast? That may be what you crave, but these foods won't 
comfort you very long; in fact, they may even cause discomfort in your 
digestion. How about a warm soup or rice pudding? Real comfort foods are 
nutritious, nurturing, wholesome and satisfying. According to ayurveda, they 
should also be intelligent, and balance the mind and body.

Ingest nature's intelligence with your food

The food you eat should be lively. Fresh, organic, home-cooked food has the 
power to carry nature's intelligence to your brain and body. These foods are 
called triptighna, which means they are satisfying and nourishing. Preserved, 
frozen, processed foods and leftovers, on the other hand, are foods that leave 
your body unsatisfied and craving for more. Since these junk foods are void of 
intelligence, they cannot support the intelligence of the physiology, so you 
end up eating more and craving for more without ever getting nourished or 
fulfilled. What's more, you can easily gain weight this way.

Cooked food versus raw food

While we want to preserve the intelligence of our ingredients, we also want to 
make them digestible. That's where cooking comes in, which inserts agni, 
digestive fire, into our food so we can digest and assimilate it properly. 
Certain food items, such us grains, beans and dahls should always be eaten 
cooked. Most vegetables are also more beneficial cooked, and some of them, such 
as spinach, chard, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and cabbage, 
should never be eaten raw. Milk is another item that can be hard to digest, so 
ayurveda recommends always boiling it with some cardamom 
 and cinnamon 
. Make sure, 
however, not to overcook or burn anything. Add some ghee or olive oil, water 
and spices to protect nature's intelligence. You don't have to cook everything 
and skip salads entirely. Juicy vegetables, such as cucumber and lettuces, can 
be refreshing for lunch in the summer, but stay away from them at night and in 
the winter, since they can aggravate Vata. Also, if your digestive fire is 
weak, stay away from sprouts. Fruits are also good raw during the day. In the 
morning, a stewed apple 
 
is best to stimulate the digestive system.

Use spice-power

In addition to their delicious taste, spices can greatly increase the 
intelligence of your meals. They also help with digestion and assimilation. To 
bring the most out of them, cook them with your food or sauté them in ghee and 
add them to your meals. For best assimilation of the benefits of therapeutic 
spices, eat them cooked, instead of sprinkling raw spices over foods. Ayurvedic 
spices such as turmeric 
, cumin 
, coriander 
, saffron 
, cinnamon 
 and cardamom 
 offer rich and 
varied aroma and flavor besides helping to balance different doshas and 
enhancing the metabolism. They can transform simple dishes into feasts for all 
your senses, providing fulfillment and contentment from meals.

Stop the cravings

The first thing you can do to avoid feelings of false hunger and cravings is to 
increase the intelligence in your meals by eating fresh, homemade meals, and 
avoiding "junk" foods. You also need to eat a variety of foods with all six 
tastes. Make sure to eat sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter and astringent 
foods to satisfy the body. Cooked food is also more nourishing than raw foods. 
Raw foods are harder to digest and can diminish agni. When agni is weak, the 
body creates ama (accumulated toxins), which clogs the channels and prevents 
the body from receiving nutrients from food. This, in the end, results in 
cravings. Ayurveda also encourages portion control. Eat enough but don't 
overeat. Your stomach should be two-thirds full after main meals.

Sweets for the heart

Emotional downs are the result of an imbalance in Sadhaka Pitta, the subdosha 
that governs the heart. The sweet taste pacifies Pitta, which explains our 
cravings for sweets. But before you reach for cookies or chocolate, think for a 
moment. Although these foods provide the sweet
