[FairfieldLife] Say hello to The Bomb
Trinity was the code name of the first detonation of an atomic bomb, conducted by the US Army on 16 July 1945 at Alamogordo so the 70th anniversary of the birth of our nuclear weapons age is just a few days away. It should be a sober event. Pity there aren't some things we can disinvent but maybe the fact that the Cold War never became heated is owing to The Bomb and M.A.D. and we should give thanks . . . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ru2PWmGIoB8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ru2PWmGIoB8
[FairfieldLife] Say goodbye to the hippie van
[FairfieldLife] Say it
It's a beautiful life, say it, say it. The last request had an urgency that I couldn't continue to ignore. The request was from Johnathan, who inexplicably changed his name to John Paul in the last few years and gets very agitated if you forget. He is a twenty-two year old African American boy-child, and I have known him since he was five. His body has continued to grow, but his mind has not kept pace. The euphemistic names for his condition don't give me any distance from this human tragedy. He has been listening to me play music every Summer weekend for most of his life as he wanders around while his father busks in a revolutionary war outfit playing the fife in historic Old Town Alexandria. His dad is one of the cheeriest guys I know, full of Christian greetings. The kind of dad who sprinkles his conversations with the word blessing while standing next to his son lost in an internal world he cannot escape from to join us on a more level playing field. His dad and I often hug in greeting, he from his boundless loving spirit, and me probably a little from the guilt of knowing I dodged this bullet and he took it between the eyes. Johnathan NO, IT'S JOHN PAUL NOW calls me Bludesman and likes my music. No, that isn't exactly right, he hovers around me while I play waiting for a break when I can join him in the odd handshake elbow bump ritual we have created together. He initiated it and I modified it. Specifically I shifted the handshake into a fist bump when his hormones switched on a number of years ago and I noticed that his hands spent a lot of time South of the equator when not pressing my flesh. He doesn't mind the fist bump variation although I do have to remind him occasionally. He repeats the ritual sequence until I walk away with him doing an awkward, urgent last one as I am moving out of reach. He is part of my intersection of human universes when I perform outside that includes homeless people and the very rich who bring their kids to me for enrichment, so they can take their proper place in society where John Paul is not headed. John Paul is obsessed with the raising and lowering of the flag on the docks. It took me a long time to sort it all out when he would come up to me and inform me that it was the end of the duty day and mutter something about the flag. WTF? I would ponder. Does he mean doodie or duty, and what does it have to do with the flag? One day it all broke clear: at the beginning of the duty day (his dad is in the military) the flag goes up and at the end of the duty day they take it down. He records this event faithfully each weekend day and night with a camera phone that has not been charged for a long time. I sat facing this flag pole performing for seventeen years and never really noticed this ritual event consciously. Now that I am in on the secret it delights him to use me as an obsession sounding board like some old codger at the bar who wont shut up about golf to non-golfers. I enjoy this narrow ramp into his tiny world and we run the reps together. Why do they take down the flag he asks me earnestly as if it was the very first time. Because it is the end of the duty day I feed back my well rehearsed line. He lights up at the prompt. YES it is the end of the duty day and the flag comes down. What happens at the beginning of the duty day John Paul? I ask in complete innocence. This is urgent and I need to know. He is about to win the highest prize ever on Jeopardy: The flag goes up, it is the beginning of the duty day. He breaks into the kind of smile we saw recently on the faces of Olympic medalists. So far it all is cute and charming and I am filled with virtuous compassion-bliss. Then he proceeds to run this routine into the ground until I have to shoo him away so I can continue my show. As he walks away I hear the bits and pieces of our conversation repeated in fragments. He articulates each word very carefully as if each syllable is as precious as a Vedic hymn. Once I ran into his dad at the health food store with his other son. This son is brilliant and snarky and the essence of youthful cool. He is a nice kid who not only connects, he is on point, and talking with him stretched my mind to keep up. His father speaks about John Paul with the same level of pride and adoration. I make a mental picture of their dinner table and then send it to the place I keep my photo essays on Appalachian children with mothers hooked on Oxy. Let's make sure that little fire wall is secure, OK. Once I was going to my car later than usual with a bag full of cash. It wasn't Mitt Romney money, but on the street it attracts attention from those I wish wouldn't notice. I am in a parking lot alone and someone is lurking behind a cement divider keeping out of sight but I catch a shoulder. Shit! After all these years of being safe I am finally gunna have to man up and defend myself. I

[FairfieldLife] Say Hey Jerry Jarvis
WILLIE MAYS The Life, the Legend By James S. Hirsch A long time ago in America, there was a beautiful game called baseball. This was before 30 major-league teams were scattered in a blurry variety of divisions; before 162-game seasons and extended playoffs and fans who watched World Series games in thick down jackets; before the D.H. came to the American League; before AstroTurf on baseball fields and aluminum bats on sandlots; before complete games by pitchers were a rarity; before ballparks were named for corporations instead of individuals; and long, long before the innocence of the game was permanently stained by the filthy deception of steroids. In that vanished time, there was a ballplayer named Willie Mays. And long time ago in America, there once was a beautiful thing called SIMS. This was before 30 major-league saints regularly toured the country encouraging a vast hoopla of Selfism; before 162-hour raja drone-on marathons, a time when fans who braved winters in Berkeley and Westwood in $29 sports coats; before the Designated Donor subsidized outrageous ticket prices so kids can learn and see the game; before phallic palaces and golden crowns, when initiations were held is spare neighborhood bedrooms; when week long mumbo jumbo pseudo-science circuses were a rarity; before centers were named for big time donors instead of brilliant teachers; and long, long before the innocence of the game was permanently stained by the filthy deception of yogic flying. In that vanished time, there was a great ballplayer named Jerry Jarvis.

[FairfieldLife] Say what?
Say what? by Nathan Burstein The Jerusalem PostTranslate This Article 28 October 2007 On 28 October 2007 The Jerusalem Post reported: Film director, and four-time Oscar nominee, David Lynch recently met with Israeli film students and politicians to promote Transcendental Meditation and answer questions about his work. It is a joy for Global Good News service to feature this news, which indicates the success of the life-supporting programmes Maharishi has designed to bring fulfilment to the field of culture. The Jerusalem Post reported, 'As he explains at a Monday press conference at Jerusalem's Sam Spiegel Film and Television School, Lynch believes many of Israel's problems could be solvedor at least significantly diminishedwere the country to find '250 advanced meditators working day by day to bring harmony, peace, happiness and creativity, and to dissolve this [regional] enmity'.' 'He's not suggesting peace will arrive merely as a result of meditation', the article stated, 'but instead advocates the practice as a way of changing the country's emotional and spiritual balance'. The Jerusalem Post quoted Lynch as saying, 'I want Israel to have a peace-creating group. Keep everything the same, keep your defenses the same. Just add this group [of meditators] and keep them protected and working.' He also stated that the group of meditators should be in Israel 'on a permanent basis, radiating a glorious field of unity every day'. The article noted that the practice of Transcendental Meditation has 'clearly made a difference for him ... leading the filmmaker to establish the David Lynch Foundation for Consciousness-Based Education and World Peace, ... [which] promotes meditation primarily as a boost to children's education.' The director said that he meditates twice a day, which has helped him during his multi-level artistic career. He also noted that in the United States children's learning improves when Transcendental Meditation is added to the curriculum. The director also explained the benefits of Transcendental Meditation in separate meetings with Israel's Education Minister Yuli Tamir, with Culture, Science and Sport Minister Ghaleb Majadle, and with President Shimon Peres.

[FairfieldLife] say, 'I am going to be Immortal whilst I raise my country to Invincibility'
Today's meeting with Maharishi 24th September. Dear friends, I have just come out of the Invincible America Meeting with Maharishi. The atmosphere here in Fairfield is amazing - with EVERYONE totally focused on getting 2,000 here on the Course. All phone lines are fully occupied! With everyone phoning and emailing we now have to date 1,275 people signed up for the course. Howard Settle has already paid in the first one million dollars to pay for this month's scholarships. The $500 per month Scholarships are now available to anyone who needs it who will sign up and stay from 6 months to a 1 year. This week 67 meditators enjoyed the CIC - getting the Sidhi's for FREE. Next week 80 more meditators will be doing the same...and we hope more will be signing up on the website to take this unique opportunity to get the Sidhi techniques free. You can sign up through your local Course Office or on the web. The site is: www.invincibility.mum.edu NEVER has there been such an opportunity as this to come and be in such a large group with Maharishi every day, and be paid for it! Maharishi spoke very clearly and strongly. He said: Tide and time wait for no one. This is the opportunity; don't loose it He added: Thousands of young men take their profession in the military and are willing to die for their country. They die and the country is left without them. By contrast young men [anyone] taking this course in Fairfield as their profession, can say, 'I am going to be Immortal whilst I raise my country to Invincibility'. Instead of dyeing they are going to become younger and younger as they make their nation invincible. So drag your friends from their homes and come and join us! All the rajas from around the world will be holding daily conference calls in their countries so every Sidha (and would be Sidha) gets to hear about this. Maharishi needs everyone to come right away. The target is Victory Day - October 2nd. Just get in the car and start driving!, Bevan urged everyone. Come NOW and we will provide them with food and a place to live. Mayor Wynne is starting new Vastu buildings using the new building methods introduced at Guru Purnimah this year. These buildings will be bed-sits for the Invincibility participants, as also will be the Vastu homes which are already well under way. Come and live in Vastu! Bevan concluded on how unique this moment is in the whole history of the Movement: * Finances are available for all who need it. * The accommodation provided will be in new Vastu. * The quality of course for your own evolution is proven with the fantastic level of experiences * Meet every day with Maharishi who is checking experiences and giving out more and more profound knowledge to guide everyone to the highest in the fastest time possible. 88 All those of you receiving this who have been long in the Movement will remember how opportunities arise - and pass. Do all you can to consider and jump into this opportunity - even if it seems impossible. Even if it is just to get on a plane in three days time to be her through Victory Day - to just taste the experience. More information and signing up can be done on the web site: www.invincibleamerica.org PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN - SIDHAS AND TO MEDITATORS.
