gibberish has nothing to do with the Veda. Nothing. You could listen to the 
Torah the same way, that would be analogous, Glossalia might be a valid 
spiritual practice in some way. Don't waste your time listening to it. Or don't 
waste our time saying it is worth listening to until you have already proven 
for yourself what real value it has.

it has nothing to do with what Maharishi said. nothing

[FairfieldLife] Re: Speaking in Tongues

[srijau]

well thats not how Maharishi Mahesh taught Patanjali, he taught it only as 
something intelligible. You only use the sutras in sanskrit if you understand 
the meaning. 
Dr Tony Nader teaches it is equivalent to the a way of percieving the physical 
structure  of the brain, by you don't get to levitate or get invisibilty by 
listening to the Sutras.. who teaches that?

I felt this an interesting response inside this thread below. I find that 
different X-ians evidently have a developed technical jargon that while it is 
their own seems to match up with other’s mysticism in other spiritual lines, in 
language meaningful to something experienced as universal Providence whether by 
language of X-ian, Buddhistic,  Vedic, a Science of Creative Intelligence or 
mystical experience of physics. 
 

 The minister in the video seems to be talking also to a more narrow way about 
different ‘tongues’, not as brain schizophrenic but about meditation in 
thinking or reciting with words of spiritual matter. Like different ‘tongues’ 
of scripture, japa, mantras, if even in unknown language.  Sort of like TM;’ers 
have learned to sound out sanskrit without knowing its meaning as a cultivating 
spiritual practice. 
 So yes this Christian’s experience with the Unified Field through ™ and the 
Christ in a x-ian practice is likely universal and can be cross cultural.
 

 An Offered observation:
 As a Christian, who has recently become a meditator, I find this very helpful. 
 
I have experienced  'speaking in tongues' and when I had my first day of TM 
instruction, during the "puja" I heard words that were familiar to me  in my 
charismatic experience.  I am wondering lately if the unified field isn't just 
God in His purity.  I will always love my Jesus ( because seriously, who 
doesn't want a hot 30 year old man who will die for you and make all things 
right to be your friend!) but my TM time is equally as satisfying, especially 
as I 'ponder'  God's goodness.  So, each day, I can say "Praise God, 
Hallelujah" and 'Jai Guru Dev' at the same time.  Thanks, Libby from Oklahoma

Carde, 

 MMY was saying that you don't have to understand sanskrit to reap the benefits 
of reading its ancient texts.  The sounds of the works by Jaimini and others 
are enough to give benefits to the reader.
 

 In Pantanjali's case one can levitate or disappear from one's environment.

 Emily,
 According to the guru in the video, there is also an unexpected benefit to 
glossalalia.  It can give the practitioner an enhanced spiritual vision and 
hearing.
 This seems to tie in with MMY's assertions about reading ancient vedic texts 
by Jaimini and others.
 

 

 

 The act of glossolalia, speaking in unknown (or ecstatic) speech has many 
pre-Christian roots. In a lengthy journal article for the American Scientific 
Affiliation (an association of Christian scientists), Dr. Pattison summarizes 
the publications of numerous historians on this topic by saying
 “Glossolalia had been practiced for many years along with other ecstatic 
phenomena by the prophets of the ancient religions of the Near East. Prophets 
and mystics of Assyria, Egypt, and Greece reportedly spoke in foreign tongues 
during states of ecstasy and uttered unintelligible phrases said to be 
revelations from the gods…The practice was known in ancient India and China, 
and ethnographies describe glossolalia in almost every area of the world.(4)”
