 Traditionally, 60 years makes a cycle of a life and 61 is regarded as
 the beginning of a new life cycle, a very important point of life and
 therefore there is often a big celebration only then and we do not pay a
 lot of attention to birthdays until you are 60 years old. After that, a
 birthday celebration is held every ten years, that is the 70th, the
 80th, etc,

Who are we ?

you had a happy and insightfull birthday Lawson.

Have you thought about this logically?  If you didn't exist 
before you were born, then you probably will not exist after 
you die.

But, if you did exist before you were born, You will exist

I wonder what is your take on this after 57 years on this

Happy belated birthday!  So many defer to Facebook these days to remind them of 
other's birthdays - no need to remember any longer if all one's friends and 
families have jumped on the social networking site :)  Hope it was a great one.

Traditionally, 60 years makes a cycle of a life and 61 is regarded as
the beginning of a new life cycle, a very important point of life and
therefore there is often a big celebration only then and we do not pay a
lot of attention to birthdays until you are 60 years old. After that, a
birthday celebration is held every ten years, that is the 70th, the
80th, etc,

  When one is 60 years old, one is expected to have a big family filled
with children and grandchildren. It is an age to be proud of. That's why
elderly people start to celebrate their birthdays at 60.

With all due respect, Buck, one of the things I've
noticed is what direction people choose to face as
they get older, and thus closer to the end of their
lives.

Some -- many -- tend to face backwards, gazing into
the past, searching for some kind of inspiration or 
comfort there. Others are facing forward, involved
in the present and looking forward to the future.

Now that's some depressing music, merudanda. Muslim forgiveness music is

They're not much different from fundamentalist Christians who live in fear of a

Then just to let everyone know he means business, God miraculously inscribes

2012-05-18 Thread Emily Reyn

Merudanda, Tee Hee.  Outed again...Latin eludes me, with the exception of the 
most well-known and basic phrases.  Can't fake anyone here out easily.  Ave 
Maria est tres jolie :)

No worries needed, and I did think the backwards somersault was a stunning 
accomplishment :)  Could have waited for the neighbors to help, as the poem 
implied. Ah, the superhuman strength of an angry woman - I'm not so strong any 
more, it turns out.  But, someone has to document the trials and tribulations 
of a non-daily meditator :) 

Speaking of meditation, I have been attempting some version of meditation once 
a week on the cranial sacral therapist's table, located in a backyard studio, 
for an hour and a half at a time, concurrent with the session.  No 
mantra...focusing on the breath.  The last two times, at some point during my 
meditation, my head has sort of exploded with bright light, and it feels 
particularly also like a warm ray of sun is shining through the window into the 
left side of my brain.  This was odd the first time it happened, because it was 
pouring rain outside, and I didn't say anything.  The second time, I asked him 
after the session if the sun had been shining through the window.  Guess not.   
But, I did feel significantly more relaxed and grounded in my body, so to 
speak, and lighter - physically lighter.  The dark clouds that reside in my 
head dissipated and are waning.  I think a regular practice would do me good, 
and if a more calm, relaxed state
 was ever all I achieved, it would be worth it.  I was actually quite 
fascinated by that Lorin Roche article on the hazards of meditation and 
thought it excellent in many regards.  In my case, I think this sentence 
applies the best:

And at the same time, the hazards of meditating have to be compared to the 
hazards of NOT meditating. What is the cost to you in your life of just jumping 
up and running out the door in the morning every day, without fully waking up? 
What is the hazard to you of walking in the door every day after work and NOT 
meditating, not fully relaxing and letting go of the stress of the day? The 
cost of not meditating can be really significant.

 With all due respect, Buck, one of the things I've
 noticed is what direction people choose to face as
 they get older, and thus closer to the end of their
 lives.

 Some -- many -- tend to face backwards, gazing into
 the past, searching for some kind of inspiration or 
 comfort there. Others are facing forward, involved
 in the present and looking forward to the future.

 I wouldn't expect either Curtis or I to check into
 the Old Folk's Dome anytime soon if I were you.

Excluded middle thinking.

Currently, I am trying to learn: Tensor Analysis, how to rotate a pyramid of 
balls in each hand simultaneously, 3-club toss juggling, 4 ball toss juggling, 
as well as reviving my classical guitar skills, helping create a new computer 
hardware and programming paradigm, rereading The Wheel of TIme, trying to loose 
weight.

Today is my 57th birthday.

I would be very happy spending a few hours (up to 8) in the Old Folks Dome so 
that I would have more energy and better concentration the rest of my day.

Thanks.

A sign of my life: online people remember my birthday. In real life? Only my 
roommate has. Family and friends, not-so-much, at least not yet.

Many happy returns, Lawson. So glad you joined us again.
Hope you can stick around for awhile with all the other
things you're juggling (literally and figuratively).

Thanks. Though, to be honest, just because I'm trying to do all these things, 
doesn't mean I'm working on all of them consistently.  Flying in the Domes 
would provide a great deal of structure to my life that it currently lacks.

Om, I take that back.  It wasn't Curtis in the Dome unless I missed him 
entirely.  I went over and looked closer at the guy.  Older-age Italian look 
dark hair and all.  But not.  

There's a lot of people in the Dome meditating.  Once people come in for 
meditation it is quiet.  It's real nice and meditative.  I walked around that 
way coming in and it wasn't him. I hoped it was.  I think he'd like it if he 
gave it a chance again.Hell, there are proly some atheists in there too. 
There are all kinds of people meditating there and you don't need no faith.  
It's palpably a very spiritual place.  It's a lot like old homecoming in there 
too.  I got friends and friendships from going back 40 years there.I hope 
for a day that both Curtis and Turqb can join us once again for group 
meditation in the Dome. There's a lot of people coming back.

I think you are describing what goes on in most groups, especially

 discrete and attempt to be more fair, but newbie groups don't do that,
 and we were all so striving and young and without older people to set

 TEN LITTLE MEDITATORS

 One little meditator
 Found life good and true,
 An old friend found him 
 And then there were two.

 Two little meditators
 Content beneath a tree,
 A tired man rested there 
 And then there were three.

 Three little meditators
 Learning more and more,
 A young scholar joined them 
 And then there were four.

 Four little meditators
 Glad to be alive,
 A sick man hobbled by 
 And then there were five.

 Five little meditators
 Never in a fix,
 A muddled man came along 
 And then there were six.

 Six little meditators
 On the road to Heaven,
 A wicked man followed them 
 And then there were seven.

 Seven little meditators
 In a blissful state,
 A lost boy asked the way 
 And then there were eight.

 Eight little meditators
 Meditating in a line,
 A dreamer stumbled over them 
 And then there were nine.

 Nine little meditators
 Happy, peaceful men,
 A worried man needed help 
 And then there were ten.

 Ten little meditators
 Continue to increase,
 And on they go across the world
 Spreading happiness and peace.

2012-05-17 Thread Emily Reyn

And P.S.  

In attempting to  lift the invention that is the rented lawnmower into the back 
of my jeep, I lost strength and dropped it about 3 feet, the force of which 
propelled me into a full backwards somersault down the slope of my driveway.  I 
looked up to see the lawnmower rolling down the driveway towards the street.  
After a few more deep breaths and focus, I was able to barely heft the heavy 
hunk of steel into the back of the jeep, where I wondered on my way to return 
it whether I should tell them I dropped it - after all, I did not purchase the 
$3 damage warrantee.  I decided not to.  

Pretty funny really and I came to the conclusion I need to stop rolling around 
in all these emotions and get to reinventing the illusion that is my life.

rich and barely doing TM than if they had devoted themselves to this
endeavor as you did. Galling since you taught over 2,000 people TM!!  I
know many people felt that initiators were not treated as  the devoted
souls they were - at least during the late 70's and 80's. There was 
super hierarchical feel in some groups. (I also have good memories of
higher ups in the TMO being very respectful of anyone (even without
money) who taught TM. Keith WAllace comes to mind, and Jerry too..
  
   I sensed things changed a while ago, and especially in the last
few years.  Money will always separate people in many ways but maybe
things are different now.  I do not know.
You did great things, all those pujas, And seeing the peace on

Jarvis et alia were in a whole 'nother class of folks -- they had

our Majorca course and sat next to Maharishi and held his hand while
being interviewed.  HELD HIS HAND!  Up to that time, I'd only heard that
Maharishi had done that ONCE while walking with Tat Wala Baba.  Yet a
rich guy had not even been informed (warned) about movement protocols
such that he showed such outrageous familiarity.

 And then there was the course office goons who made it their
thing to put everyone in their place.

 Nah, I never was important to the movement even after 2,000
people taught.my reward:  they took away my five thousand dollars
worth of earned credits towards ATR and advanced techniques.
   
Poor Edg really got the shaft, wellyour reward will be in
heaven! ;-)
   
PS I can relate...
   
 And then after moving to Fairfield, MSAE turns out to be run
by the rich parents.

 And then the raja thingie pretty much topped

TEN LITTLE MEDITATORS

One little meditator
Found life good and true,
An old friend found him
And then there were two.

Two little meditators
Content beneath a tree,
A tired man rested there
And then there were three.

Three little meditators
Learning more and more,
A young scholar joined them
And then there were four.

Four little meditators
Glad to be alive,
A sick man hobbled by
And then there were five.

Five little meditators
Never in a fix,
A muddled man came along
And then there were six.

Six little meditators
On the road to Heaven,
A wicked man followed them
And then there were seven.

Seven little meditators
In a blissful state,
A lost boy asked the way
And then there were eight.

Eight little meditators
Meditating in a line,
A dreamer stumbled over them
And then there were nine.

Nine little meditators
Happy, peaceful men,
A worried man needed help
And then there were ten.

Ten little meditators
Continue to increase,
And on they go across the world
Spreading happiness and peace.

To judge a life that you can't change

And nobody won't  give this man his wings?

Is that's the man he was?
Haven't we heard enough?

Haven't we both heard enough
This is what we're gonna do
Let me put my arms around you once more
There's nothing left here to prove

Walk  just back a little bit slower
Better don't hold on tight,
Will You ever learn to let it go
To Break Through to the other side
I keep wondering, wondering, wondering
When were you ever gonna let me know
That you just wanted something else in life

What do you say when it's all over
What do you know when nothing's going right
The troubles in your mind
What do you do when you get lost inside your soul
Where do you go when all's gone
What do you say nothing at all

It was so hard when I watched you falling down
But it was time for you to walk alone
Just know if you really need a friend
And you're feeling like you can't go on

Just walk back just a little bit faster
Take my hand I will blow your fears away
We'll Break Through to the other side
For bitter or worse I know you better than anyone else
And I'll be by your side

What do you say when it's all over
What do you do when it's all gone
What do you do when you get lost inside your soul
Where do we go when ALL's gone
What do you say nothing at all

When it all becomes Reality
That this is where it ends for you and me

What do you say when it's all over
What do you do when it's All gone
What do you do when you get lost inside your soul
Where do we go when home's gone
What do you say nothing at all
What do you say nothing at all
What do you say nothing at All

I mean, have you *ever* woken up and found that you are in a rage so deep and 
wide and high, that it is unfathomable?  No, not about some relationship or 
another, I mean at the *seeming* core.  But then, that's when you realize that 
the *core* is not really the core.

Of course, anger is really grief, right?  Unfathomable.

Now, on with the day.  The invention that is the lawnmower, is sitting for a 
four-week wait at the repair shop.  So I had to rent a lawnmower yesterday.  
They go for $36 for 24 hours.  And I am not talking about the kind you sit in.  
So, having mowed the lawn, I have to return it quickly.  And, then, it's off to 
pick a countertop for the kitchen.  Another busy day :)

 Of course, anger is really grief, right?  Unfathomable.

 Now, on with the day.  The invention that is the lawnmower, is sitting
for a four-week wait at the repair shop.  So I had to rent a lawnmower
yesterday.  They go for $36 for 24 hours.  And I am not talking about
the kind you sit in.  So, having mowed the lawn, I have to return it
quickly.  And, then, it's off to pick a countertop for the kitchen. 
Another busy day :)

 TEN LITTLE MEDITATORS

 One little meditator
 Found life good and true,
 An old friend found him
 And then there were two.

 Two little meditators
 Content beneath a tree,
 A tired man rested there
 And then there were three.

 Three little meditators
 Learning more and more,
 A young scholar joined them
 And then there were four.

 Four little meditators
 Glad to be alive,
 A sick man hobbled by
 And then there were five.

 Five little meditators
 Never in a fix,
 A muddled man came along
 And then there were six.

 Six little meditators
 On the road to Heaven,
 A wicked man followed them
 And then there were seven.

 Seven little meditators
 In a blissful state,
 A lost boy asked the way
 And then there were eight.

 Eight little meditators
 Meditating in a line,
 A dreamer stumbled over them
 And then there were nine.

 Nine little meditators
 Happy, peaceful men,
 A worried man needed help
 And then there were ten.

 Ten little meditators
 Continue to increase,
 And on they go across the world
 Spreading happiness and peace.

Feste37,

So I guess any complaints by you are legitimately to be as easily dismissed.  
O, that's gunna sting, eh?  You can never say you were forced into any 
karma, if it's logical to say that I wasn't forced into mine.

But, hey, I agree with you.  Who isn't responsible for every speck of their 
karma?  

The issue is not that I'm stupid or in denial or that I've always been 
empowered to change my life (all true;)  the issue is that the core selfishness 
of humans remained untouched by the TM technique such that all these negative 
dynamics of the movement continued instead of being gradually dissolved by the 
evolution of the TM culture's individuals' practicing of TM.

TM doesn't do jack shit on personality.  There's the open truth that true 
believers try to deny.  

Dr. Bloomfield.  Ed Beckley.  The commodities firms.  The murder on campus.  
The serial rapist.  The illegality of money-running across international 
borders.  The personalities of the various ninnies ensconced in the niches of 
the TM bureaucracy. Me.  You. 

Where has TM changed any of the above?  

THAT was my point, Feste37.

That I was surprisingly satisfied that someone here would pat me on the back 
and say, there there, it's okay, I understand, is another discussion.  That I 
wallow in self-pity still another.  

You want to be my shrink?

So, according to Barry and Curtis they were 'somebody'

 attempt to be more fair, but newbie groups don't do that, and we were all so 
 striving and young and without older people to set the right tone.
 
  Money does buy an in and buys attention and perks and fawning. I get it, but 
 your point is also that as a hard-working underpaid, devoted teacher of TM 
 who put their worldly ambitions on hold to convey this wonderful knowledge - 
 you were not appreciated. People like you should have been given buckets of 
 gratitude and some perks, if not more compensation.  It seemed to mean more 
 to the insiders if a person was rich and barely doing TM than if they had 
 devoted themselves to this endeavor as you did. Galling since you taught over 
 2,000 people TM!!  I know many people felt that initiators were not treated 
 as  the devoted souls they were - at least during the late 70's and 80's. 
 There was  super hierarchical feel in some groups. (I also have good memories 
 of higher ups in the TMO being very respectful of anyone (even without money) 
 who taught TM. Keith WAllace comes to mind, and Jerry too..
 
 I sensed things changed a while ago, and especially in the last few years.  
 Money will always separate people in many ways but maybe things are different 
 now.  I do not know. 
  You did great things, all those pujas, And seeing the peace on the faces of 
 some of the people who learned TM from you.

Hey Edg,  you know I love you like a brother, but having just seen The
Avengers, (sort of dumb I thought.  well a little better than John
Carter, but not by much), do  you feel any affinity to the Incredible
Hulk?  I mean, really, I do see some resemblance.  I think you may be
the smartest person here on FFL, but jeez, sometimes that temper flares,
and I don't recognize the person who comes out.

Just saying Edg.  Sometimes that temper flares

Edg just likes feeling sorry for himself and playing the victim. No one ever 
forced him to be in the TM movement or stay in it.
