Ann likes the person that she is. Her femaleness does not deprive her of the imagination to conceive of herself as a man--and yet in thinking of what kind of man she would like to be, she realizes she possesses the specific attributes which, for her, would be almost ideal in having to be a man. There is no limitation imposed upon herself as a woman; but there is the recognition *as a person* she encompasses--or could encompass, based upon her personal ingredients--the form of herself imagined as a man. It is also a kind of private in-joke between Ann and all those who know her: Ann has a large enough personality to make it an unnatural act to defer--just based on her femininity--to any man. Ann holds within her person, then, the possibility of transmuting what she is, into the form of a man--which says what a powerful woman she is--and yet how her very person would constitute the basis for being a man she would respect and love. She can see herself as being a beautiful man. Now, that's some woman. Thank you for this, very kind words indeed. I would say that the sense I have always had of myself has transcended gender and has always just been a sense of me without the male or female attached to it. But I know that my father was a contributing factor in never allowing me to feel in any way less, compromised, incapable or undermined by the fact of my female gender. He was a very equal opportunity guy who would never have dreamed his daughter was handicapped in some way having been born a woman. That definitely rubbed off on me growing up. And since the subject of husbands has come up it is also interesting to note that while I embody aspects of what many people categorize as male my spouse is also gifted with some wonderful female qualities. All of these sides of us coming together within our relationship is what makes the two of us a whole. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, authfriend authfriend@ wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb no_reply@ wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, authfriend authfriend@ wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb no_reply@ wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, awoelflebater no_reply@ wrote: If I were a man I'd want to be me.

What I meant -- and I suspect many people not as committed to turning *everything* into an argument as Judy is understood No, son, I made my point. *You're* trying to turn it into an argument. -- is that I cannot imagine anything more trying than maintaining a relationship with someone (of either sex) whose ideal in the other sex is someone just like them. That's a kind of narcissism that would be tough to cope with. And of course that isn't what Ann said, nor what she meant. What an insane interpretation. Relationships are all about the *differences* between people, not the similarities. Who -- other than Robin and/or people indoctrinated by him -- would ever *want* to be with a clone of themselves? Nobody would want that. Including Ann. Read what she wrote again, you demented dimwit: And if Share were a man she wants to be Steve. If I were a man I'd want to be me. Nothing to do with a *relationship*. It's only your twisted mind that would make this into, My ideal man would be just like me. I'm just suggesting that, even as a passing aside, Ann's comment was very telling. What's telling, Barry, is the deterioration of your mental faculties exemplified by this post. And note that you've managed to bust your faux outrage about my not quoting your smiley face. You never meant your remark to be anything but a nasty putdown of Ann. Judy's?

dear laughingG it's a wonderful transcript, thank you so much for posting. Of course it reminds me of that pesky old tag line about bliss: that bliss is not always blissful, that we have to stir the water in the bath tub for that. Maybe stirring the bath water is the specialty of FFL (-: May I take this opportunity to say that of course I remember the juicy details surrounding the revelation of your age by Richard. Perhaps those details are what inspired me to assign you the role of very cool and popular VICE Principal at FFL High. Speaking of which, do you know what I found among my pjs? A top I purchased TWO years ago. Guess what that top has on it. THREE LITTLE PENGUINS! One with a winter hat pulled over his eyes. I guess that would be see no evil. One wearing ear muffs. Probably hear no evil. And one with a winter scarf pulled up to cover his mouth. Maybe that's speak no evil? Underneath the penguins are three words: naughty or nice. I am not making this up (-: Anyway, I'm taking it as a sign. Happy Holidays dear laughingVP And also thank you so much for Joy Luck Club post.

My understanding from Maharishi's teaching is that stress actually prevents one from feeling deeply. And that as consciousness becomes established, one actually can feel more deeply because one is rooted in that consciousness. But I'm forgetting some crucial distinction. What do you remember? Thank you. Share, I'm butting in to offer the following transcript of a lecture Maharishi gave in 1971: Maharishi on Intellect and Emotions 1971 MAHARISHI: ...Emotions are finer than the mind, thinking. Even so the intellect is the finest aspect of the mind, the emotions just don`t worry about the intellect... Emotions are more powerful. It is a good field on which life is lived. It is on emotion that life is lived. All intellectual decisions come out of emotion. Emotion is the wave of that aspect of life which is called ananda, Bliss. Intellect is the impulse of life which is called chit, consciousness. Absolute is that state of life – not impulse, but state – Absolute is that state of life which is called Sat, that which never changes. Absolute is that state of life which knows no change. It is a beautiful thing. They are all on the same level, but somehow life is more guided by Bliss. The whole stream of life, every impulse of activity is guided by Bliss – more and more and more, this is what is called evolution. And this more and more makes use of the intellect to support it. The intellect always decides in favor of more and more and more. The impulse of happiness drags along in its direction the intellect. So intellect serves emotions. Emotions don't mind which way the intellect will go – they drag the intellect onto it, by force like that, like that, makes use of it. Intellect becomes an instrument to bring fulfillment to emotion. Emotions are structured in Bliss, just as Knowledge is structured in consciousness... Just as the intellect has its range in all the senses of perception and also action, so also emotions have their range in all these five senses of perception and senses of action. They take in the whole thing. When we talk of intellect and emotion, even when we talk of mind so crude, all these five senses of perception and these five senses of action – generally we call them five organs of action – but all are involved with the mind, with the intellect, with emotion. One sees a rose and one feels so good and immediately the hands go and feet run, nose smells and eye sees – the whole thing blossoms. They belong to all of these senses... ...Intellectual thought means decisive thought. And in decisions, emotions are deeply involved. When you decide – the force of decision takes in emotion, it is very deeply. Decision is never free from the grip of emotion. Decision is guided by emotion. Apparently it may appear that they are guided by logic, but logic is always in favor of emotions. Always one steps so many steps, but there is 'the cup of tea'. People say 'He is not my cup of tea'. This is more prevalent in England, in a more conservative expression. So that 'cup of tea' is very, very important. It is all localized in emotion. Decisions are motivated by emotions. They are so involved with one another, that's why, when one

Dear Robin, you must stop taking so many things at face value - it will be your downfall here. You will overreact, you will trigger without knowing it, your panties will always be in a twist, which will be extremely uncomfortable for you, as a man. (Doesn't bother me in the slightest by the way.) You will feel persecuted. You will spend way too much time defending your ego, no not your ego, your first person ontology. *I* am coming to terms with my creepiness; I think it likely that Barry and Curtis agree with you. It has been a hard pill to swallow - like one of those vitamin horse pills that one swallows in the morning before jumping in the car to battle traffic to work and then, a few miles down the road, one realizes that while it is supposed to be good for you, it is making you feel so nauseas that you have to pull over and puke it up, along with the coffee, while wearing a nice corporate suit - and then vomit goes all over the silk scarf and stinks up the car and you walk into the morning meeting smelling like too much perfume and a cherry lozenge.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Which is worse,,,really stupid or reeely stooopid
I'm still reading Mindsight by Dr. Daniel Siegel who incorporates various forms of mindfulness into his therapy practice. Funnily enough I'm just reading the chapter in which he distinguishes between implicit and explicit memory. He points out that even with PTSD there may be little or no explicit memory. But implicit memories can surface as vivid flashbacks even decades after a traumatic event. During the original event certain memory blocking chemicals flood the brain. And even though the hippocampus is disabled, implicit memories of the traumatic experience will nonetheless be encoded into the nervous system. These are what can influence behavior in some problematic ways. Of course such understanding is not pertinent and or useful to everyone. But it may be a relief to some to know that there might be physiological reasons for certain circumstances of their current life that have little to do with their ability to get over the past and just be in the present. I believe in the power of intention. But sometimes that is not enough. IMO.

It is a New Age cliche and refers to something for which human beings are not designed. We live simultaneously in past, present, and future. That's our nature. It is a quintessential human act to think back to the past, and constantly interpret and reinterpret it for ourselves, and we also are wired to spend a lot of time envisaging the future, for better or worse. My cat can do neither of those things. He is pretty good at living in the moment, but I have no desire to emulate him. Well said, but the issue to me seems to revolve more around which species have the ability to *not* submit to the pressures of past, present, and future when dealing with present events, not the tendency to do so. That issue brings up the issue of free will, and of being capable of influencing one's passage through time and space. Is one a prisoner of one's previous passages through time and space, or merely influenced by them? I'm going to go for the latter. The samskaras are present, *in* the present. The compulsion to submit to them and keep doing the same old same old is not. Not for human beings, anyway. I can't speak for your cat. :-) I would like to think you are right, but I can't say that I feel free of those old ghosts that loiter in the psyche. I tend to agree with Faulkner, The past is never dead. It is not even past. That said, it need not ever become the present. Only obeisance to the past creates that. Having a greater allegiance to the present creates the possibility of new timelines. IMO, of course.

Feste too. But you're *really* stupid. snip Feste, we both got off easy in the above from our dear Judy; IMO, I got off just a bit easier. I received a mere harsh glance whereas you received a slap on the wrist. However, we both avoided a good ol' fashioned ass-whoopin'. You see, she only called me stupid (less favorable) but spelled it correctly (more favorable); same for you, however, she added the adverb really (less favorable), again spelled correctly (more favorable), then used asterisks for emphasis (less favorable). This got me to thinking (!) and, being a slow day at work yesterday, I found myself becoming more proficient in the use of the advanced search function on FFL. Below are some of my findings: Few have tried but none can match the skill and artistry of our dear Judy in calling someone stupid on this forum...to put it simply, she *is* and will *always be* the one true master. When Judy wants you to pay attention (like a fifth-grade student with his head on his desk abrupty awakened from a stolen nap, and lifting his head in confusion thinking Did Miss Stein just ask me something?), she mispells stupid as stoopid. The number of os used varies from as few as two up to a whopping eighteen and is dependent on how much attention she wishes to garner from you: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/272412 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/253194 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/225008 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/279466 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/276580 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/328630 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/261112. My research also indicates that our dear Judy is the only poster on FFL to have attempted using stoopider or stoopidest, again with varying number of os, as in: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/247574 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/177467. I humbly bow to the master. By the time she starts attaching really, again misspelled as reely with varying number of es, to her stoopid, it becomes suddenly and abundantly clear to that fifth-grade student who has just awakened from his stolen nap that, yes indeedy, Miss Stein has definitely asked him a question, and not only that, fully expects him to answer or else face the consequences: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/163836 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/251793 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/270344 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/272653. That fifth-grade begins furtively glancing around looking for an escape route when Miss Stein begins adding extra ls (this doesn't happen often as I think it might be reserved for very special cases) in the misspelling of reeellly, and/or using several repetitions of reely, again with varying number of es (happens frequently): http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/291538 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/291102 http://groups.yahoo.com/group

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Which is worse,,,really stupid or reeely stooopid
Good God, Steve, do you realize how in that ocean of your kindness you are nonetheless formidable? I mean as a soul, as a spiritual hero. I think part of what makes you so in my eyes is that you don't seem to think of yourself that way. You just live your life day by day, hanging in there, doing what needs to be done, loving all and sundry. Yet with all this strength of character, you have got to be one of the most guileless people I know. I feel fortunate to know you here on FFL. Hope I haven't been too mushy. Share PS I just read your answer about emotions. It was vintage Steve: uncomplicated and profound, kind. And thank you for the bit about Hans Seyle. I had forgotten his definition of stress. Now I'm looking forward even more to seeing Lincoln with my Mom.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Which is worse,,,really stupid or reeely stooopid
Steve: I was being sincere - you really have been laying down some funny stuff, IMO. You are never the butt of my joke. I almost always laugh in the spirit of the moment and never with mean intention - and I'm quite serious about that. I laugh at the human condition and our attempts to communicate with each other and I do it so that I don't grieve too hard when things are tough. I should really get a volunteer position as I've already filled out the application - I just have to make the call. I don't always explain the way I interpret FFL and I probably won't. I run it through a lot of different filters some days. Which means that I misinterpret at times on purpose for a different effect - easy to do with words on paper. And it is well known now, thanks to Share, that I have a creepy sense of humor. And I am a TM imbecile. And I wasn't feeling particularly up today, if truth be told, so I really appreciated your posts. And, I love a good beer. Had to give it up when I was diagnosed as gluten intolerant, but I'm going to cheat after what Emptybill posted today.
