 Uh, Card. Edsel Ford was the name of one of Henry
 Ford's relatives. The name didn't take on iconic
 badness vibes until *after* the car had become a 
 disaster.
 
 As for your claim that lumi means whore in
 Spanish, something didn't sound right about that
 to me when I read it, so I asked my two house-
 mates, whose Spanish is so flawless that they
 make their livings doing translations, and who
 have lived in Spain, Mexico, and South America
 about it. Neither had ever heard *any* reference
 to the word lumi, and certainly not as meaning
 whore.
 

Perhaps they are not familiar with the Madrilian slang:

lumi8 up, 13 down

In Madrilian slang, whore, prostitute
Salí de farra y acabé con una lumi 
I went out for a spree and ended up with a whore

  Dear Iranitea,
  
  I well remember that singing the Sanskrit that Maharishi taught us produced 
  (with the requisite offerings and prostrations to Guru Dev) a quite 
  incredible and subtle alteration of consciousness. I am laughingly and 
  laughably ignorant about the specific meaning of these particular Sanskrit

 Oh, you weren't taught the meaning? I am surprised, I thought at all TTC's 
 the meaning was taught, but I thought of more than just giving you an example 
 of some reverential mention of Shankaracharya in the TM puja. Best take it 
 from here:
 
 Traditional Advaitins recite the following verse as a part of their daily 
 prayers:
 
 #2358;#2306;#2325;#2352;#2306;

 #2349;#2327;#2357;#2344;#2381;#2340;#2380; #2346;#2369;#2344;:

 Shankaram shankarAchAryam keshavam bAdarAyaNam.
 
 sUtra-bhAShya-kRitau vande bhagavantau punaH punaH.
 
 [My repeated reverential obeisance to Lord Shankara, verily Shankaracharya, 
 and Lord Keshava, verily bAdarAyaNa-vyAsAchArya who are the authors of the 
 commentary and the BrahmasUtras respectively.]
 

One transalation on Minet.org seems to translate 'suutra-bhaaSya-
kRtau vande...' as if 'suutra-bhaaSya'  was a tatpuruSa (bhaaSya
of [brahma-]suutra-s). Let me explain, why that IMO is erroneous although 
perhaps from the *grammatical* POV perhaps the most likely translation.

I gather 'shaMkaram' and 'keshavam' are appositions referring
to Shiva and Krishna respectively. Thus the (aadi-) shankaraachaarya seems to 
be compared / (identified with?) Shiva (shaMkara) and Baadaraayana with Krishna 
(keshava)?

So, my attempt at a rather literal translation would be for
instance:

I greet respectully (vande)[1] Shiva-Shankaraacaarya' (shaMkaraM
shaMkaraacaaryam) [(brahma-)suutra]-bhaaSya-maker' (bhaaSya-kRt[am?])  and 
Krishna-BaadaraayaNa (keshavaM baadaraayaNam) suutra-maker [suutra-kRt[am?]] 
again [and] again (punaH punaH), [those] two bhagavaan-dudes (bhagavantau).

Now, that translation assumes that 'suutra-bhaaSya-kRtau'
is the accusative (dviitiyaa vibhakti) dual (dvi-vacana) form from
'suutra-bhaaSya-krt'. Thus, 'suutra-bhaaSya' ought to be
a dvandva (suutra(-s) [*and*] bhaaSya), not a tatpuruSa (bhaaSya *of*
suutra(-s))! 

In compounds both the number, gender and case oppositions
are neutralized, so the interpretation of 'suutra-bhaaSya' as
a dvandva must be contextual[2], or stuff. As an isolated dvandva
its nominative/accusative/vocative dual would prolly be 'suutra-
bhaaSyau' (cf. '-kRtau' and 'bhagavantau')!


1. This assumes 'vande' is the first person indicative 
present tense aatmanepada form from 'vand':

vand(cf. %{vad}) cl. 1. A1. (Dha1tup. ii , 10) %{va4ndate} (ep. also %{-ti}

 Your point is reasonable.  But it would be nice to see how far the mantra can 
 influence space and time, since these too are functions of consciousness.
 
 In his writings, MMY was stating that everything is based on consciousness 
 which many physicists still don't understand today.  If he was right, TM and 
 the sutras should be able to affect space, time, and the various laws of 
 nature.  The Maharishi Effect is a good example.


That might well be based, amongst other stuff, on this:

  While there's all sorts of philosophical and scientific reasons to be

  doing one or the other, according to theory, should be the same.
 
 I remember being taught that floating would be the ultimate thing for
 myself, other yogic flyers and the world. The next stage of evolution
 no less and thus much more powerful in every way. And also that if one
 can do it everyone else will start floating. Still waiting..
 

I think shraddhaa (faith) is the key here. It might become weaker
every day until someone hopefully one day floats so that there
is no doubt it's actually happening. After that a quantum leap
in the strength of shraddhaa shall cause almost everyone on this

Now, let me explain why it might be almost enough to do
the first part of the YF-suutra.

If all the aakaasha in my body was squeezed out from it,
there would prolly remain less stuff than one lens in
a mosquito's eye:

http://www.warrenphotographic.co.uk/photography/bigs/07455-Mosquito-eyes-white-background.jpg

So, doing saMyama on kaayaakaashayoH saMbandhaH little by little
reveals that the physical body is just an electromagnetic 
illusion almost totally consisting of emptiness!

This in turn leads to the vRtti called mahaa-videhaa, which
in turn eventually leads to prakaashaavaraNa-kSayaH!

(bahirakalpitaa vRttir mahaavidehaa; tataH prakaashaavaraNakSayaH.)

The second part works mainly as a confirmation that the anna-maya-
kosha is actually almost totally nothing but empty space, like the
mixture of various gases around it,  called 'air'!

Perhaps this is old news:   

Yogic flying traditionally stems from the Vedic rishi Avatsara, the 
flying-one. Later yogic texts also describe this siddhi (perfection) in 
varying degrees of detail, most notably the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali.
A system of yogic flying also exists within the inner tantras 
(anuttara-tantras) of Tibetan Buddhism as a system to attain enlightenment. In 
this system the practioners work at the dissolution of the vital airs, prana, 
into the centermost part of being, the avadhuti or central channel. In the 
initial stages this is used in a system of yogic-running where the practitioner 
is able to proceed across the ground in large jumps. Some of kings of the 
Himalayan kingdoms kept speed-runners from this tradition to carry messages 
over long distances.
Once perfected, the adept of this school (rlung-gompa) can then work for the 
attainment of simultaneous bliss and emptiness (in Sanskrit, shunyata). 
Ultimately one attains mahamudra siddhi, total non-dual realization, and is 
able to radiate bodhichitta, the thought of enlightenment, for all sentient 
beings.

[FairfieldLife] The importance of kantha-kuupa

2012-06-30 Thread cardemaister

I only recently realized that the main reason why
Patañjali included 'kantha-kuupa' (kantha-kuupe[1] kSut-pipaasa-
nivRttiH) amongst the saMyama-s might well be to
prevent the development of insulin resistance amongst
those yogii-s and yoginii-s that have a genetic predisposition
to that. Almost everyone even up in Minnesota might know
that two of the common symptoms of insulin resistance
are constant thirst (polydipsia) and constant hunger (polyphagia). 

Because of their often very sedentary life style 
those yoga-people are in a fairly great danger of getting diabetes mellitus II? 
That's probably why Guru Dev had Maharishi deliver
empty messages(?) to another svaamii, or somesuch, not so near-by, because 
Brahmaananda probably knew Mahesh had that predisposition?


1. The form 'kuupe' is the locative singular from 'kuupa(H)'.
The basic ending of the locative singular is '-i'. (In Swedish,
the rather common IE-preposition 'in' is actually 'i'(~ee): 'i ett hus' [~ ee 
ett hews], 'in a house'). Forms like 'kuupe' are
cases of internal sandhi: kuupa + i  kuupe; cf. deva + indra 
devendra.

Sound: Play both an active strat and a passive one straight through it. The 
active makes it bark like a rabies english bulldog. Little noisy on the 
neckpickup, but then again I've never heard it do anything else on any other 
amp. I don't even bother switching the thing to Drive anyhow. This is a tube. 
Cook that preamp and let the tubes do the breaking up. No. This is not a 
metalamp. No. It doesn't do line6 tricks. This is back to the roots sweety. 
Roots that were carefully amputated by the likes of VH1 and MoronTV.

The passive makes this box sing. The harmonics will make you tear up. Unreal. 
The sparkly headroom is truly unbelievable. // 9

Sound: I use my Jackson RR24M through this amp. It has a single EMG-81. The amp 
can really do any sound you are looking for unless it is high gain metal. For 
that you will need an EQ pedal and a OD or distortion pedal. I use a MXR 10 
Band EQ and Ibanez TS-9 Tube Screamer and I love the tone and the amount of 
distortion it produces.

I was actually very surprised at how well this amp sounded. So far I am very 
happy that I choose it. // 10

Sound: I use a Epiphone Standard Les Paul and an Ibanez RG model. I play rock 
and metal, the rock sound is pretty awesome but if I want to play metal I need 
to have a distortion pedal. It hasn't got any noise except a really soft one 
but you'll learn to ignore that. The clean channel does break up in triode on 
volume 10 but I won't reach those volumes, though it's possible with the master 
volume. The distortion is classic rock - based but can't do some brutal metal 
stuff. // 8

[FairfieldLife] Cool Osho-stuff!

2012-06-28 Thread cardemaister


Osho views the mind first and foremost as a mechanism for survival, replicating 
behavioural strategies that have proven successful in the past.[168][170] But 
the mind's appeal to the past, he said, deprives human beings of the ability to 
live authentically in the present, causing them to repress genuine emotions and 
to shut themselves off from joyful experiences that arise naturally when 
embracing the present moment: The mind has no inherent capacity for joy. ... 
It only thinks about joy.[170][171] The result is that people poison 
themselves with all manner of neuroses, jealousies and insecurities.[172] He 
argued that psychological repression, often advocated by religious leaders, 
makes suppressed feelings re-emerge in another guise, and that sexual 
repression resulted in societies obsessed with sex.[172] Instead of 
suppressing, people should trust and accept themselves 
unconditionally.[170][171] This should not merely be understood intellectually, 
as the mind could only assimilate it as one more piece of information: instead 
meditation was needed.[172]

[FairfieldLife] Ford's biggest mistake since Edsel??

2012-06-26 Thread cardemaister

Ford and Nokia research a smarter and more personalized driving experience

Chicago, IL, USA - Nokia today announced that Ford's research organization will
use the Nokia Location Platform to advance innovation for smart and connected
vehicles, as demonstrated by the Ford EVOS concept car.

Ford selected the Nokia Location Platform to leverage Nokia's high-quality
global location content, including the industry leading NAVTEQ Map, as well as
scaleable cloud services and APIs.  This complete solution offers a fast, easy
and cost-effective path to create innovative and differentiated location
products.

The Ford EVOS concept car showcases a future in which cloud services go beyond
Internet access and traffic-enabled routing.  For example, Ford's concept car
actually learns driver behavior to control, improve upon and personalize
vehicle performance.  Another area of Ford's research is designed to optimize
hybrid powertrain efficiency: the Nokia Location Platform could automatically
regulate a car's powertrain as it travels through established or driver-
specified Green Zones.

We are committed to providing compelling customized services to the automotive
sector and customers like Ford, said Christof Hellmis, Vice President Map
Platform in Nokia's Location  Commerce unit.  We have consistently focused on
innovation around location and navigation in the car.  This commitment enabled
us to provide a global platform service which could truly enhance the customer
and user experience.  It's exciting to see the Nokia Location Platform as an
integral part of Ford's mission to revolutionize the connected car.

While the Ford EVOS is a concept car intended to show Ford's technology vision
for the future and is not itself scheduled for production, it does give a
glimpse of the technology being researched for future car models. More
information on the concept car can be found here: http://youtu.be/WyBO32jz7Vg.

About Nokia's Location  Commerce Business
Nokia is a global leader in mobile communications whose products have become an
integral part of the lives of people around the world. The company's Location 
Commerce business, including NAVTEQ® Maps products, the Nokia Location Platform
as well as Nokia Maps, aims to build and monetize unique location experiences

June 08, 2012
Mini-World Peace Assembly in Brussels
to support the European Summit
All European Governors and Sidhas are warmly invited to attend a special 
mini-World Peace Assembly coinciding with the European Summit in Brussels on 28 
and 29 June.
Dr Stijn Vandenbosch, National Director of Belgium, said the purpose of this 
World Peace Assembly is to help protect Maharishi's legacy of European unity by 
strengthening unity in the collective consciousness immediately around the 
European Summit leaders. The course will be held at the Maharishi Invincibility 
Centre in Brussels, which is just 200 m from the meeting hall of the European 
Union.
The immediate aim is to bring together 50 Yogic Flyers to experience bubbling 
bliss. There is no course fee, but everyone is requested to cover their own 
food, accommodation and travel. Limited accommodation is available at the 
Maharishi Invincibility Centre, and also with Sidhas who live in Brussels, 
otherwise in youth hostels and hotels.

Please book early and come and enjoy long rounding and group flying to ensure a 
very positive outcome from the European Summit.
Contact: svandenbo...@maharishi.net.
For younger people there will be a separate course at the same time, based at 
the home of the Claes family, about ½ an hour's drive from Brussels.

New Belgian website achieving excellent results
A new website is achieving excellent results for the Belgian Movement. In the 6 
months it has been on trial, visits have increased from 1000 to 80,000 per 
year, and initiations have increased by 240%.
The website's creator, Joachim Claes, is especially excited that 40% of 
initiates say the Maharishi Effect is one of the major inspirations for 
learning Transcendental Meditation.

Joachim explained the principles behind the approach he has taken for the new 
website.
Firstly, his main aim has been to change the collective opinion about 
Transcendental Meditation, rather than to generate leads. He feels that if 
people begin to understand TM the way Maharishi wanted us to present it, 
including the Maharishi effect, invincibility, and spiritual benefits, then, 
seeing a much bigger picture, they will feel more comfortable with the whole 
idea. The collective consciousness is changed when many people practice 
Transcendental Meditation, but the collective opinion about TM is changed by 
many people improving their understanding.
Secondly, his aim has been to move beyond the meditation market, the group of 
people who are interested in meditation, and to reach a wider range of people 
with a diversity of interests such as health, relationships, world peace, 
economy, etc. In this way we can reach a very much larger number of prospective 
clients, and change the way they see TM.
Joachim has written a book on this called The Field Paradigm, and would welcome 
any editorial help or input anyone would like to give. The draft is available 
HERE.

 Who is more likely to lie, cheat, and steal—the poor person or the

 for yourself, it's easier to think about what others may need. But  
 research suggests the opposite is true: as people climb the social  
 ladder, their compassionate feelings towards other people decline. (...)


Removed my previous reply, because came up with a possible
explanation for that:

If you are not rich yourself, it's easier for you to identify
with for instance a poor person, because they are one of us, so to speak.

So, your compassion in that case is for the most part actually
self-pity or something like that?

On the other hand, rich people often are more psychopathic than
those not-so-rich, because it's easier for a psychopath to avoid
feeling guilty due to questionable means to get some dough??

then clicking on the loudspeaker icon on the bottom right
corner, choosing different languages. For instance, in Spanish
the r-sound is very strongly trilled but they might have
to struggle a bit to pronounce an h-sound, so 'he ring' in
Spanish soudns to me more like 'ee rrring'. In Hindi 'he ring'
sounds to me almost like 'hi rink', a bit like Sir Paul McCartney
pronounces, say, 'thing' [~~think, or thing-g].

 One day the rock star happened to say to the groupie 
 in passing, Wow, dude...you're the most *special* of
 all my special groupies. You've attained specialnessitude
 yourself. 

Just curious: anyone know, about how many people heard the
rock star say that?

  something else is not that big a deal since many other paths have
  mantras for the public that are as strong as the advanced technique (yes
  it is those paths first technique).
 
I am curious what specific other paths you are referring to.
The curious thing about advanced techniques is that (according to what I 
  have seen on some websites) the difference between the advanced techniques 
  is pretty minimal-- just some added shri's and namah's in different #'s 
  with the same core bija mantra in between...  hold on, I think some 
  lightning just hit my house how strange, there's not a cloud in the 
  sky..
 
 
 
 Ones you probably should have read up on or met people who practiced 
 them. :-D
 
 Or did you just stick to the straight and narrow TM path?   The advanced 
 technique is just a Saraswati mantra.  I even had a professor of 
 astrology at Benares Hindu University recommend the same mantra to me 
 after he looked at my horoscope.  Some people might do better with a 
 Shiva mantra and others with a mantra for Ram.  There are lots of 
 mantras.  Short beejs like the first technique work because they are 
 short and about anyone can give them.  The longer ones, even though 
 easily learned, require a jump start by a teacher who knows how to do 
 that.  In fact MMY started out that way.
 
 My replacement mantra was simply Shiva mantra or Om Nama Shivaya. 

Kinda proves that an accurate pronunciation is not very important.
I think a more correct spelling would be

om namaH shivaaya (prolly pronounced by most something
like 'awm namash shivaaya'). The form 'shivaaya' is the dative
singular, 'to/for shiva'.

black...LOL!)

  36,000 years ago, which is derived by using the vedic measurement of time.

 Couple of points, the vedic measurement of time is bollocks as it
 puts the earliest humans as existing before the earth formed.  Get
 yourself a calculator and work it out. I did.

Duh! They lived somewhere else in this or some parallel universe,
of course! :o

 
 The pyramids are a tomb for the local king, it says so in the
 texts carved into the buildings next to them.
