[FairfieldLife] Favorite movies to watch in Sat Yuga
I don't know about the rest of you, but I always cringe when I hear Maharishi talk about Sat Yuga being near, because he seems to imagine it as this oh-so-pure but OH-SO-BORING time/place, a lot like the environments he tries to create around him. Me, I don't even *believe* in the whole Sat Yuga thang, but I'm hoping that if there is such a thing, there will still be room for the things that are most uplifting about Kali Yuga -- love, humor, a sense of irony, humor, inappropriate jokes, and humor. With this in mind, here are a few of my nominations for Films I'd Still Want To Watch In Sat Yuga: Groundhog Day City of Angels Amélie Don Juan de Marco McCabe and Mrs. Miller American Beauty Mindwalk Phenomenon Conan the Barbarian the Desperado trilogy Yojimbo The Usual Suspects Romy and Michele's High School Reunion Dirty Pretty Things Becket Aliens Bubba Ho-Tep Evil Dead II The Name of the Rose Immortal Beloved Blade Runner Buckaroo Banzai Pow Wow Highway A Fish Called Wanda Highlander Army of Darkness L.A.

Gee, I hope. The New Yorker ran an article recently about the state of affairs in the Netherlands. (Sorry I can't find it to include a link here.) They actually have a rather unintegrated social structure there, from what I gathered from the article. The Protestants and the Catholics and the Humanists and the Muslims all have their own worlds. The image given was of separate pillars holding up one roof. All these groups went about their business without much conflict until recently. Now, disgruntled Muslims are using the internet to plan violent actions against the others. The police are guarding something like 20 public figures from Islamist death threats. (You'll recall filmmaker Theo van Gogh was killed after making a movie about Muslim violence toward women.) If the Netherlands go without assassinations and riots, I might be inclined to believe it's risen to the optimistic levels of social coherence that Raja Wilhelm decrees above. But if I read of sectarian killings or riots, I'm going to file the good Raja's claim in the same file that has decrees about Mugabe's invincibility, Fairfield's pundits and other announcements of that ilk.

I suppose our market on freedom, and spreading it around the world is another bogus claim of the United States. Perhaps the U.S. can take an example of Holland's freedom. And give up on it's a hypocritical right wing theocracy. As far as Donald Rumsfeld having the time to be interested in studying a free society, such as Holland; I would think he is too busy defending his policies being in question by many Generals and commanders speaking up to suggest he(Donald) quit, be fired, tar and feathered, or all of the above.

The bottom line with 'demonic possession' is that those who believe in it also tend to beleive that they are important enough in the cosmic scheme of things that a demon would bother to possess them.

Highly disappointed): In Dehli, I was going to a restaurant in a high-brow hotel and went by one of those motorized rickshaws...you know, the ones that look like they were made from metal drums fashioned over a motorcycle. Anyway, the driver wouldn't let me out right at the front door but at the end of the driveway. I asked him why and he motioned something to me which I didn't understand (couldn't speak English). So I demanded that he bring me right up to the front door and when he finally did the doorman berated him viciously. On questioning one of the more official-looking hotel employees once I got in I learned that his caste wasn't allowed near the hotel. As for the other part of the Onion story about lighting fires on the airplane, that isn't too far off the mark. Going home on the Pan Am 747 from Dehli airport, within one hour of being in the air, the bathrooms were full of shit all over the seats and floor. Why? Apparently, leaving Dehli are many first-time fliers and they have never used Western toilets so they get all confused in the little space and they crouch up on top of the "hole" and end up shitting every where.

My point is, Holland is something of a geopolitical flash point right now in terms of the Islamist leanings of many of its citizens. It's a great place to falsify any claims of invincibility. I don't pay close attention to Holland's doings. If something happens there that's bad enough to catch my attention, I'll know Raja Wilhelm spoke too soon. If - and it's a big if - in coming years I read an article about how the Netherlands is setting an example of how to reconcile Islam and the West, I may go so far as to think, "Maybe Raja Wilhelm was on to something."

It's certainly a good "test case." I've been to Amsterdam many times in the last two decades, and in my opinion the country has grown more polarized and less tolerant with every visit. The thin veneer of liberality and tolerance that masks the ultra- conservative Amsterdammer underneath is pretty frayed and worn thin. The thing is, those who actually believe in the ME and in Maharishi's pronouncements are going to see examples of them wherever they look. Whatever *really* happens in the Netherlands, TBs will see the trends they expect to see, and skeptics will see the trends that they expect to see. It's just human nature. It's like Bob Brigante, first in line to post any "news" from the UK that indicates that Maharishi's fatwa on England had some effect, but remarkably silent about the recent events in India, home of (according to him) most of the Maharishi pundits and thus a strong candidate for being "in tune with Natural Law." I wish the Netherlands luck. As far as I can tell from the time I've spent there, it's got a tough time ahead of it. I agree with the person who described it as at a flash point. That's it. It's a country on the cusp of one of those major chaos theory shifts.

Is it just me, or does anyone else perceive Passover as an act of terrorism? It commemorates the slaughter of Egyptian children as a means to persuade Pharaoh to make a political decision. Perhaps the only way for the West to stand up to Islamist violence and still preserve the values of the West is to embrace Christ's teaching to turn the other cheek. Otherwise, the terrorists win. John 14:12 has Jesus saying, "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do." But this hasn't happened. Silly Jesus.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Heresies
The Kabbalistic interpretation of the Exodus story is actually the story of the soul in bondage (Mizraim, the Hebrew word for Egypt means "bondage")--and thus the journey is the expansion of soul till eventual union with God (on Mt. Sinai). The bondage is left behind when they cross the Red Sea, which is actually the soul attaining a higher level of existence till the vision of God face-to-face. I forget what the actual symbolism of the slain first-born is supposed to signify, but it's much deeper than terrorism.

This is an example as good as any of the problem with the TMO: the apparent inability of its members a/o critics to ignore what i's founder is actually saying - let alone understand what He is saying when they actually calm down enough to give Him some attention. What you are hinting at is a 'human' solution. The Rajas tool set is based on Natural Law which means that the situation will be 'resolved' by the Natural Law meaning of that concept in human affairs (i.e. resolved) - and not any human assumptions about it. Here are a few guesses how this may play out: (1) Islam has reached the end of its allotted life-span and dies either by muslims converting to Judaism or Christianity or by becoming secularized. A less probable process, given the Raja's tool set, is Dutch Muslims being burned in their thousands at stakes along the canals. A natural calamity could also kill them all, though such calamities usually don't discriminate between who's who when they strike. (2) Muslims in Holland become more and truer Muslim as their cultural integrity strenghtens, at the same time something else happens with their mindset, something that makes them adopt a live-and-let-live attitude toward their hosts and neighbours. (3) Should the tools in the tool set prove to weak or be applied ion the wrong manner, Muslims might win in their attempt to Middle-Easternize the rest of the world - i.e. pull everyone else down in to the gutter with them. What ever will happen - do not expect a human government to be part of any of the constructive possibilities listed above. Yahoo!

Then after the Iranian revolution, we cozied up to Saddam and gave him whatever he wanted militarily, including poison gas, to use against Iran. Now, the US military is engaged in covert ops within Iran to destabilize the country.

And "cooking fires" and "cows" are caste related because I don't think upper class Indians deal with either. As for it being discrimination and not racist I would suggest to you that the caste system IS a form of discrimination based upon race. "race" is not just skin color. Two elements are needed for racial discrimination: 1) a defining characteristic, such as skin color. But it could be a certificate, such as a membership in a tribe; and 2) that this defining characteristic is handed down from parent to child.

It's as if the Dalai Lama recognized that his people could not really be killed. That life cannot really be taken. Like what some spiritual masters would have us believe. Or, speaking practically, as if Tibet didn't have a chance standing up against China, so why embrace the karma of killing?

Well, that would certainly be the anti-Semitic view. But there is a certain parallel to the Holocaust (which was why the Jews felt they needed a homeland of their own) in the biblical story. The decision Pharaoh was being forced to make (by God, not by the Jews themselves, according to the Hebrew Scriptures) was to let the Israelites leave Egypt, where Pharaoh had held them in slavery and slaughtered all *their* firstborn male children, and subsequently all their male newborns. Not as efficient as Hitler's genocide, of course, but then that was a pre-technological age. And of course Passover does not commemorate the slaughter of Egyptian children, it commemorates God having saved the children of the Israelites from *being* slaughtered: the angel who was killing the Egyptian children *passed over* the children of the Israelites.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Air India Now Offers Business Caste Seating
This thread is interesting to witness, much like a visiting anthropologist from another more morally and spiritually evolved planet or dimension would experience. Comprehension skills or the very lack thereof, often due to misguided values willfully cultivated forever in search of either or both predatious impostor victimization flauntulosis tenaciously dependent upon perpetual condescensions from "others", and/or the willful cultivation of ignorance to secure a nonaccountability for ones own actions or participation within cultivation or responsibility within a group, surfing the aires of social presumptuousness with delusional lofty condescions falsely presenting themselves as liberal. Ture liberality, ture liberalism is most certainly not condescending. I have as much as witnessed the wife of a world leader speak her first words with another person commenting on the beautiful sunset they are both witnessing, met with agreement by the other person with the remark "yes, this is a magnificent planet", nothing more, after which she traipsed off to her husband to remark that this person she'd just spoken with was a communist, and that they should not be allowed to the christian wedding of their relative, preparation for which was why all these people were in the same place at this moment. This person she referred to as "communist", who did nothing more than agree with her about the sunset, was not only well liked by most everyone else there but had facilitated many people over the years in getting their businesses off the ground, gave freely of their time to those less advantaged and was part of a program offered in high schools through the JayCees to help kids better understand how to conduct and start small businesses. Communist, eh. Purposefully ignorant, selectively applied cannibalistic opportunistism in psycho-social realms -- a burgeoning malignant carcinoma on the body of humanity attempting to camouflage itself by facilitating a presumption of ubiquity as a state of mind and/or social convention within society. We've come into this human form to transcend such beastiality, we must make the most of this exceedingly rare human birth, bereft of siuch primitively tribalistic factionalism with most every thought. Such is NOT dharma. Flourishingly,Dharma MitraOf all that anyone leading or teaching has to convey, the most valuable thing to cultivate and convey to others is a moral conscience. Only such persons deserve to lead others, in any capacity. Anything less is a menace to society.

Jim, did you see the article I posted excerpts from the last time you dumped on the Democrats? It's actually something of a bum rap. The problem, essentially, is that the media aren't covering what the Dems *are* doing. The article gives a number of examples.
