Re: [FairfieldLife] Rick: about your rule
There is a lot of truth in what you say Ann - yet I think it is ignoring a great deal of evidence to believe that years of TM practice and TMSP practice ESPECIALY when done in a close knit community of other TMSP'ers does not lead to certain types of mentality. I'll just leave it at that.

If Yahoo closed FFL, the lost would be significant, but if Rick bans antisemitism, the lost to the world's ability to have free speech would be hardly noticed. An easy call for Rick, methinks. Now if the various communities around the world got as aggressively defensive, hoo boy, who could then say anything about anything? Think of all the downtrodden folks who could equally claim the world has smacked them as badly as were the Jews. I've never confronted my Jewish friends about this.might have to do so, cuz this shit's gotta stop. And, hey, for what Israel is doing to Palestine while Jews around the world remain mostly silent, I say they've lost their right to bitch about Hitler. They should go back to dissing the Pharaoh.
Re: [FairfieldLife] Rick: about your rule
I think that both Dan and jedi should be reinstated, since they were unjustly removed. But also, I think Dan should drop his ridiculous complaint to the ADL, which has no substance and is a waste of their time. I suggest that if anyone wants the best commentary on this incident he or she should read the posts of Richard J. Williams, since every one of them is spot-on in its analysis. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, fleetwood_macncheese@... wrote : Dan obviously enjoyed his righteous indignation, but it gave him a blind spot you could fly a 747 through. His grammar and writing, in general, was atrocious, which always sends up a flag, for me, since I doubt very much he was that sloppy with his superiors, during his career. Same as people who, despite being punctual for work, cannot show up on time, socially. An arrogant attitude, masking as casualness.

And I mean this in a positive way. Dan is loyal. He would defend his family and TM to the end. Dan is a cosmopolitan kind of guy. I told him that I admired him because he lives in one of the coolest cities in the world and it hasn't eaten him alive. Is this okay with you? I have another perception of Dan that includes some not-so-glowing attributes. But what do I know? This is the internet. One thing I would say is that I understand why Rick did what he did once he saw Dan's last post to him. BTW, what did you think of Dan's post to Mac about his wife and the game shows, the one where Mac asked him who had pissed in his Cheerios?

Re: [FairfieldLife] Rick: about your rule
I find it fascinating that those hell bent on knocking TM are simply the other side of the coin. Anti-TBs, as fundamentalist in their beliefs as they were, as cult fanatics. It is a process to grow out of one thing and into another, but those trying to escape their own cult mentality, accuse everyone else of having it too. What they don't recognize is that the TM practice has a goal, and that goal is spiritual liberation, established in Being, enlightenment. So, they point out all the mood making in the MUM community, and feel good about themselves for as long as it takes to write their screed. But at the end of the day, there is a fundamental (there's that word again) realization, that they have failed, and simply pointing fingers now, will never ensure their success. It is a sad thing, to see those locked in waking state, actually champion it, because they cannot imagine living any other way. Solution: Apologize to yourselves, for wasting so much of your life, and start TM, again. Otherwise, their blindness just overtakes them. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, awoelflebater@... wrote : ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, mjackson74@... wrote : There is a lot of truth in what you say Ann - yet I think it is ignoring a great deal of evidence to believe that years of TM practice and TMSP practice ESPECIALY when done in a close knit community of other TMSP'ers does not lead to certain types of mentality.

All these soft spoken and rather naive (but well intentioned) people speaking the same lingo and making sure they sound like everyone else who believes what they do. You'll see it in church groups, the military, the RCMP, sports teams etc, etc. It is everywhere. TM has its own flavor and lingo but similar aspects of this is everywhere on the planet. I guess my point is that people gravitate towards like minded others where they feel safe and understood and liked. In order to accomplish this we all conform a little bit to make our acceptance with others happen. From: Share Long sharelong60@...

Ann, first of all, there is also Seraphita, so three women. Secondly, I think there are valid reasons why I'm more comfortable with the FFL men rather than the women. Finally, my main point was that after Dan's booting, your initial comments about him were not positive. And yet, you had just been having what seemed like a friendly exchange with him!

---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, fleetwood_macncheese@... wrote : I find it fascinating that those hell bent on knocking TM are simply the other side of the coin. Anti-TBs, as fundamentalist in their beliefs as they were, as cult fanatics. It is a process to grow out of one thing and into another, but those trying to escape their own cult mentality, accuse everyone else of having it too. What they don't recognize is that the TM practice has a goal, and that goal is spiritual liberation, established in Being, enlightenment. True enough. I mean, I read bawee and MJ and others who are so anti-belief in belief and it astounds me that they don't see they have replaced one thing for another. bawee is positively aglow with it and yet - he can't see the substitution he has made. He still wallows in deep-seated beliefs and talks the talk that he does. He has simply taken off his rose-colored glasses and replaced them with green-tinted models. So, they point out all the mood making in the MUM community, and feel good about themselves for as long as it takes to write their screed. But at the end of the day, there is a fundamental (there's that word again) realization, that they have failed, and simply pointing fingers now, will never ensure their success. It is a sad thing, to see those locked in waking state, actually champion it, because they cannot imagine living any other way. Solution: Apologize to yourselves, for wasting so much of your life, and start TM, again. Otherwise, their blindness just overtakes them.

Anti-TBs, as fundamentalist in their beliefs as they were, as cult fanatics. It is a process to grow out of one thing and into another, but those trying to escape their own cult mentality, accuse everyone else of having it too. What they don't recognize is that the TM practice has a goal, and that goal is spiritual liberation, established in Being, enlightenment. True enough. I mean, I read bawee and MJ and others who are so anti-belief in belief and it astounds me that they don't see they have replaced one thing for another. bawee is positively aglow with it and yet - he can't see the substitution he has made. He still wallows in deep-seated beliefs and talks the talk that he does. He has simply taken off his rose-colored glasses and replaced them with green-tinted models. So, they point out all the mood making in the MUM community, and feel good about themselves for as long as it takes to write their screed. But at the end of the day, there is a fundamental (there's that word again) realization, that they have failed, and simply pointing fingers now, will never ensure their success. It is a sad thing, to see those locked in waking state, actually champion it, because they cannot imagine living any other way. Solution: Apologize to yourselves, for wasting so much of your life, and start TM, again. Otherwise, their blindness just overtakes them.

Booting off jedi for what appears merely to be expressing a view of Judaism seems absurd to me.

I don't hate Marshy and Company, just disgusted by their behavior - so now tell me Feste, what sort of libel have I committed, eh? Tell me what I have said that is libelous, given the accepted definition of libel, which is a published false statement that is damaging to a person's reputation; a written defamation It is only libel if it is written and published, and if it is false. If true, it cannot be libel and if it is unclear whether or not it is true, but the author as clearly identified the statement as opinion then it is not libel. Much of what I have written here has been identified by me as my opinion and the rest, well, I invite the Movement to sue me anytime it likes.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Rick: about your rule
Let's face it, Rick is being practical. The Jews are very aggressive about any antisemitism and could get someone at Yahoo freaked enough to close FFL down. It may not be right to surrender, but it does avoid the danger not yet come. If Yahoo closed FFL, the lost would be significant, but if Rick bans antisemitism, the lost to the world's ability to have free speech would be hardly noticed. An easy call for Rick, methinks. Now if the various communities around the world got as aggressively defensive, hoo boy, who could then say anything about anything? Think of all the downtrodden folks who could equally claim the world has smacked them as badly as were the Jews. I've never confronted my Jewish friends about this.might have to do so, cuz this shit's gotta stop. And, hey, for what Israel is doing to Palestine while Jews around the world remain mostly silent, I say they've lost their right to bitch about Hitler. They should go back to dissing the Pharaoh.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Rick: about your rule
The semitic race includes Arabs, so if we blast Saudi Arabia are we being anti-semitics? And someone said to bash Zionism is being anti-Jewish. That's like saying all Christians are Republicans.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Rick: about your rule
Dan obviously enjoyed his righteous indignation, but it gave him a blind spot you could fly a 747 through. His grammar and writing, in general, was atrocious, which always sends up a flag, for me, since I doubt very much he was that sloppy with his superiors, during his career. Same as people who, despite being punctual for work, cannot show up on time, socially. An arrogant attitude, masking as casualness. Pretty average fellow, overall, despite his need to have us think otherwise. All the best to him. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, awoelflebater@... wrote : ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, sharelong60@... wrote : Ann, there are several people here whose dislike I am very happy to have.

Right before he was booted off, you and Dan were joshing back and forth. And yet you now say nothing positive about him. I certainly can say lots of things positive about him. Wanna hear? I'll assume you said yes. Dan loves women, all sorts of women - sisters, mothers, wives, daughters. He doesn't appear in the least misogynistic. Dan is smart. Very, very smart. And I mean this in a positive way. Dan is loyal. He would defend his family and TM to the end. Dan is a cosmopolitan kind of guy. I told him that I admired him because he lives in one of the coolest cities in the world and it hasn't eaten him alive. Is this okay with you? I have another perception of Dan that includes some not-so-glowing attributes. But what do I know? This is the internet. One thing I would say is that I understand why Rick did what he did once he saw Dan's last post to him. BTW, what did you think of Dan's post to Mac about his wife and the game shows, the one where Mac asked him who had pissed in his Cheerios? As I said to you some time ago, I think you could do quite well as a politician. Did you realize you are for more deferential to the males than the females on this forum? Of course, we are the only two left here. On Saturday, October 4, 2014 8:42 PM, awoelflebater@...

You back peddled and said Oh uh, maybe courteous wasn't the right choice of words But you just can't let go of the idea of me being a low person no matter what Danny Boy said or did, eh? Is it part of your TM induced glow in your brain that leads you to believe that attacking a TM basher is actually a courteous thing and that's why you are doing it now? Ahh, TMSP leads to such WONDERFUL behavior. I think you might be barking up the wrong, but usual, tree here MJ. First, not for one moment did Dan's discourse with you ever seem courteous and he had a good time playing with most of us here, sometimes smiling on the outside but not necessarily on the inside. But the point is, is that Share is not responding the way she is because of TM or the fact that TM induces some sort of glow. Share is Share, MJ. She doesn't like to get into kerfuffles with others unless she feels that enough others are ready to back her up. She is careful to court favor, in her innocuous way, with the guys here and fair enough. I don't blame her but this leads to her unwillingness to see beyond a friendly pat on the back or superficial endorsement of what she writes for what it is - internet trolling or camouflaged ill will. She defends bawee and she is defending Dan and that is her MO; she wants to be liked by all, and is unwilling to look past the facade that some present here at FFL. Again, I can understand this - it is not the way I operate but it probably leads to less confrontation than I get in my life for being straight up. This is not a condemnation of Share, it is simply my take on things YMMV.
RE: [FairfieldLife] Rick: about your rule
You make good points, although TM folks haven’t been persecuted the way Jews have, so anti-semitism is a touchier issue, as racism would be too. As with all such things, there’s no clear-cut demarkation. No absolute right or wrong. Hard to judge wisely, especially with my drive-by style of moderating. But again to your point, imagine a White Supremacist were in here spewing outrageous nastiness on a regular basis. I think most all would agree that he should be banned. So it’s a matter of degree, and when someone moves a bit too far in that direction, in my opinion, he should be warned and if he ignores the warning, banned.

RE: [FairfieldLife] Rick: about your rule
Having a conversation about TM right now with a friend in Brazil. The point I made to him seems relevant. TM has two ways of affecting people (hopefully for the good): 1) rest during TM may make some condition better; 2) the growing stability of the relaxed EEG trait outside of TM may tend to slow the progression of some problem. If a person's problems aren't affected in any way by the above, then there's no obvious way that TM would help their specific problem, personality or physical.
