Doc (really Jim Flanegin) sez:

I think this is worth commenting on, not because it's
either true or because it "stung" me as he hoped it 
would, but because this is pretty much Classic Jim. 
He does the very thing he accuses me of, and makes
things up.

He *is*, after all, the guy who makes up stories about
his own supposed enlightenment. I don't think there 
is a single person on this forum who *believes* any
of these stories, especially given *his* frequent fits
of rage and jealousy and lashing out, but he keeps 
doing it, IMO for a number of reasons.

First, and worthy of some compassion, he's recently
retired and ain't gettin' no attention from real 
people in his real life any more, so he has to troll
for it here and on Batgap. There, because those people
will believe *anything*, he might have a few suckers
who actually believe his made-up stories about his
own supposed enlightenment and how oh-so-superior
that makes him to anyone who...uh...isn't him. But
here, not so much. Most people just laugh at him,
and avoid confronting him over his obvious lies, 
because he has a tendency to lash out and hold 
grudges when anyone does. 

Second, he's just not very *good* at making things 
up. His "tales of the enlightened life" ring about
as true as they would if they were told by Dick 
Cheney. 

I feel for him, and for anyone desperate enough for
attention to feel they *have* to make up stories 
about being enlightened to get any, so I've laid 
off of him lately. But I figured it was about time
to poke him again so that he'll reveal his true
colors for a few newbs who don't know who and what
they're dealing with. Suffice it to say *how* he 
reacts to this poking will say far more about his 
supposed "enlightenment" than any of his words will. 

As for our relative contributions to this forum,
well, I am the first to admit that I just use it
as a place to write hopefully amusing stories about
my real life. That life may *be* pretty boring to
many people, and that's understandable because a
lot of what I do involves just sitting in cafes
and writing. True, the cafes may be in Paris and
Amsterdam and Leiden and the south of France, but
I *am* sitting there and writing, so my stories
are actually true. 

If there is anyone here who believes that *Jim's*
stories about his supposed "enlightenment" are 
true, speak up now or forever hold your peace.

The 5th poster was me, Share. I sent Barry a post, given his penchant for 
finding situations that make him unhappy, that I wouldn't be surprised if he 
visited subway stations at random, just for the delicious indignity of being 
jostled, shoved, and having hot liquids spilled on him.

For some reason, he didn't find it funny, as it was my only comment at the 
time, regarding his latest "shit fit". But he obviously remembered it.:-)

Followup. Since I made this post, the same 5 people
whom I characterized as having nothing interesting
to say and as being so out of control that they 
flood the forum with their garbage have followed up
on my *single* post with a total of *fifteen* posts.

In not one of them did any of them offer to cut down
on their inane post-flooding. In fact, they attempted
to "shoot the messenger" and avoid any responsibility
for their own actions. I'd say that they made my point
about trying to "dominate" the forum for me.

The bottom line on this is clear -- these five posters
"contributed" only slightly less that HALF THE TOTAL
POSTS MADE LAST WEEK. And they'll do it again this
week, and the next, and the week after that. And they 
don't think there's a problem with that, or with forcing
other people to wade through their crap.

I'm simply making the point that the phenomenon of 
"people leaving FFL" is **NOT** due to Neo, but to a 
few people who simply cannot control their motormouths,
and who feel they have the "right" to subject other
people to post after post after post after post after
post...whatever they want to post, whenever they want
to post it. 

I'll stop talking about this now, because unlike them

Re "I also used EFT tapping to deal with cookie cravings" :   

Share, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) IS PRECISELY MAGICK in Crowley's 
sense!  

Look, you want to achieve some result (say, to stop gorging on cookies). You 
decide on some ritual (it's arbitrary what you choose - you could have decided 
to recite backwards the first paragraph of George W. Bush's memoir while 
standing on your head, but let's say you choose the EFT technique) and you say 
to yourself: "Performing *this* ritual IS EQUIVALENT TO stopping my craving for 
cookies." You do the ritual (in your case the EFT routine) and your 
subconscious (which ignores surface, conscious rationalisation which is 
thinking: "what the fuck am I doing this idiotic rigmarole for?") automatically 
follows through. The ritual means: "I don't want cookies"; and afterwards 
abracadabra you don't want cookies! It is so simple that people naturally 
dismiss it out of hand as worthless. Those who have actually tried it (like 
you!) found that it is effective.

Seraphita, that's very cool about rituals and the subconscious. I would LOVE to 
see that tested with an fMRI machine. Regarding EFT, as you probably know, it 
involves tapping the meridian points of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine). So 
maybe we could call it Ritual Plus!

Re: RE: Re: [FairfieldLife] Fwd: Midnight Deadline: Congress Must Not Cave on Obamacare

Seraphita , you are correct, Congress exempted themselves and their staffs and 
I believe White House  and staff from Obamacare. I'm sure there are some other 
federal employees( guards, janitors, etc.) that aren't. For months now, Obama 
has been giving exemptions to numerous big businesses, follow the 
money,Meanwhile Labor unions, his biggest backers are screaming that they want 
out as well and that Obamacare is hurting jobs. He's picking and choosing, who 
is and is not, exempt at this time. Not sure if that's exactly legal. Since 
when does someone get to pick and choose who is obligated to follow a law now 
and who follows it later?

Addressing the important issues!

So, the Post Count is all about Share and Judy, and the Turq seems very 
concerned about it. Maybe it's time to end this thread about the Post 
Count and start to post messages that other respondents might want to 
read. You guys are making the whole FFL discussion group look like a 
group of idiots. Any casual surfer that tuned in here would probably 
think you guys have gone off your rockers arguing for days about who 
posted what and how many times they posted. Come on, I know you can do 
better than this! Go figure.

It's all about vibration, called Spanda in Kashmir Tantrism. Kashmere 
Shaivism is a little different from Advaita Vedanta of Shankara: Both 
are non-dual philosophies, but in Kashmere Tantrism there is the 
important factor of Consciousness called 'Chit'. Everything is a 
manifestation of Chit or Universal Consciousness. According to MMY, 
knowledge is structed in pure consciousness.

Rtam (Ritam) is cognate with the English word rhythm and
contains the meaning of universal order.

Since "mrta" means death - "a-mrta" (amrita) means deathless.
You can repeat it all you want, contemplate it in sanyama or whatever
and you will not become immortal.

These words are not forms of each other.

The phrase 'rtam' is related to the 'amrita' mentioned in chapter
17-19 of Mbh - the 'churning of the milk ocean'. According to MMY
'rtamrita' is produced in the human gut during the practice of TM
- otherwise called Soma in the Rig Veda.

The most popular version of the Indian myth 'Churning the milk
Ocean' is found in the Eighth Canto of the Bhagavata Purana. In
Buddhist mythology, Amrita is the drink of the gods, which grants

Thank you for this inspiring alert about Mother Divine attempting to weasel 
their way into other Vedic organizations, but I assure you the association will 
not last long. 

When WAVES finds out how absurdly arrogant these people are, particularly when 
they discover the insistence on everything being Marshy Vedic this and that, 
and that ONLY the TMO and all its branches have a lock on REAL Vedic knowledge, 
the WAVES will part company with the TMO forthwith. 

I quote the WAVES purpose "WAVES is a non-religious society with no ideology." 
whereas the TMO is a Marshy Hindu religious organization with a hell of an 
agenda, to wit, that everyone bow to the Movement and credit it with whatever 
good happens in the world including the non-existent world peace and salvation 
the world was promised but never received.

It's spelled "E-Q-U-E-S-T-R-I-A-N silly Steve. And where did I say Share casts 
spells on anyone? She is simply got a tad more anger and more personal issues 
than immediately hit the naked eye as many of us have discovered.  Share, 
although seeming so benign and friendly harbours as much venom in there as 
(gasp) Barry. It is interesting that it is primarily the women who recognize 
this first. You're still bringin' up the rear, so to speak, on this one so I

 Turq's Monday Morning Free Clue To The Clueless
 
 You think "free to." Others here think "have to."
 
 It's a matter of signal-to-noise ratios. Taking last
 Friday's Post Count as an example, there are more 
 than a few on the forum who would categorize 421 
 of the total 852 posts (49.4%) as noise. 
 
 That is, long experience has taught these people

I have a friend in North Carolina named Bill, a very fine classical guitarist, 
who is still a dedicated TMSP practitioner since about 1972, I think. He still 
won't accept the idea that Marshy wasn't enlightened and all that jazz. 


I have shared with him some of the stuff I have learned on FFL and shared some 
of my interactions with some of you - of all the things I have told him, he 
thinks it is hilarious that Doc says he is enlightened and chooses to call 
himself Dr. Dumbass - he really thinks that is funny. Says it makes 
enlightenment real.

You've given countless others a reason to avoid this place because of 
your flame war against the TMO. It's starting to look like the cesspool 
of Yahoo Groups. Go figure. You're doing a pretty good job of trashing 
this group for no apparent good reason. Maybe it's time to take another 
look at the FFL Guidelines about posting flames to the group. What would 
it take for you to be civil to respondents who actually post TMO news to

Not at all.  Share was being criticized and what might have been said in 
a corporate or even academic environment was that people were 
criticizing her for her "lack of reserve."  Personally I could give a shit.

Basically you are showing a lack of "reserve" which is what the 
corporate world would call it.  Your posts tend to be impulsive.  We 
been critical in the past of this kind of OCD posting.  If anything TM 
should produce a quality of "reserve" for people.  Apparenlty for some 
it doesn't and I think I know why. On 09/30/2013 01:46 PM, Share Long

The link you propose between such "techniques" and occult
or "magickal" practices is probably valid, if for no other reason
the all-important placebo effect.

It's growing stronger by the day, which is causing no end of
consternation to doctors and pharmaceutical companies.
They are literally unable to replicate the results of studies
that seemed clear-cut in the past, some of them for drugs
that are now approved and prescribed daily. In the old tests,
these drugs vastly outperformed the placebos; in the newer
tests, they can't. The number of patients reporting relief is
just as high for the placebos as for the actual drugs.

How does the placebo effect "work?" No one knows. But
they *do* know that it *does* work. There is simply no
question about it. It "works" better if the patient believes
it will work, and interestingly it "works" better if the person
delivering the placebo believes it will work. That sure sounds
like magick or occultism to me.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Vedanta and the Divine Feminine

[Michael Jackson]

I don't know why you characterize it as flaming - I'm just stating my opinion. 
And there are more than enough people here on FFL as well as outside of FFL who 
know exactly what I am talking about. 

To wit: the TMO has ALWAYS taken a superior attitude, claiming that marshy knew 
it all, his take on anything vedic was the correct one, he was the ONLY 
spiritual teacher in all of India who had the enlightened awareness to "bring 
forth the full potential of natural law" from any and all parts of the vedas. 
And since his word on the various aspects of the vedas always supported him 
being big cheese and getting all the money, that means the other vedic 
authorities are wrong.

An example would be the old goat's assertion that south facing entrances are 
wholly and always negative when other authorities on vastu veda say in their 
material that this is incorrect.

On a larger scale, if you ever had any dealings with the Movement, you know 
damn good and well that the Movement always builds itself up at the expense of 
everything and everyone else. They have never been interested in sharing, or 
creating coalitions to promote anything other than TM. That is the reason that 
the TMO has never done anything to promote ayurveda with other organizations 
like Vasant Lad's outfit. 

As I have stated here on FFL I have spoken with people who attempted to create 
a cooperative effort between Chopra's people and the Movement to promote 
ayurveda and to have the TMO and Lad's people work together and the TMO 
rebuffed both parties. 

They had no interest in promoting ayurveda with others because it did not 
glorify the TMO, nor would they get near as much money out of it as they would 
if the other parties would slap both sides of their own heads as they said 
"Lawdy Mercy! Massa Marshy done come up wid a betta kind-a aya-veda! Les all do 
TM and forget traditional ayurveda in favor of the yuppie with money version 
the TMO created!"


In the same vein I assure you that the only reason MD is approaching these 
folks is NOT to learn from WAVES, nor promote vedic culture in concert with 
them, but to get WAVES all practicing TMSP and eventually to make WAVES a 
subsidiary of the TMO. That's the way they function, always have and always 
will. 


If you choose not to believe it, perhaps you should consider taking a course at 
your local community college on not being so gullible.

One of my all time favorites, especially for Christians:

St. Peter is handling his duties at the Pearly Gates - ensuring all applicants 
are accepted, or sent south - as he has, for the last ten thousand years, or 
so. It being Heaven and all, Jesus happens to wander by, and notices St. Pete 
is looking a little tired. Jesus, being the nice guy that he is, walks over, 
and says, "Hey, noticed you've been at this gig for...millennia. I'll take over 
for awhile, if you like." St. Pete looks at Jesus, smiles, and says ok.

So, Jesus is doing his thing at The Gate, "C'mon in!", mostly. After awhile he 
notices an old guy, wandering around in the clouds nearby, looking out of it. 
Jesus calls the old guy over.

"Hey old timer, how are you?"
"Well, I'm lost"
"Hmmm, OK, what can you tell me about your life?"
The old timer gets a faraway look in his eyes, "I remember a small town..."
"Yes?"
"and a woodworking shop..."
Jesus's ears perk up at this. 
"...and a...a miracle!"
At this, Jesus looks at the old man, and exclaims, "Father??!!"

The old timer looks at Jesus, his face beaming, and he replies, "Pinocchio??!"

Perhaps the stupid country should fall.  "US Government" is an oxymoron 
anymore.  Perhaps we ought to be 9 different countries instead, along 
the geographical lines of the "Nine Nations of North America."  That 
always made sense to me.  California, as it is, should be 3 states 
anyway.  The area would get 4 more Senators but we really do need to get 
rid of Diane Fein$tein.


Then maybe we could have what other countries have and that is Single 
Payer healthcare.  Instead we waste trillions on foreign wars to protect 
"American interests."  Not they count on the public thinking "American 
interests" are going after terrorists and establishing democracies when 
really "American interests" are the US corporate pirates who want to 
raid the country for it's resources.


Secondly we need to get rid of the AMA who keeps people out of medical 
school who have a true interest in medicine and instead support the "old 
boys network" of sons and daughters of mediocre MDs attending medical 
school.

Two months after signing up for my insurance, I got a notice saying my

[FairfieldLife] Thor

[Duveyoung]

[FairfieldLife] Cafe Nostalgia

[turquoiseb]

It was probably the use of Marty Robbins' "El Paso" in the final episode
of "Breaking Bad" that got me thinking about it, but ever since I've
been on kind of a music kick, finding and listening to classic outlaw
songs. "El Paso" is obviously one of the greats in that category, but
it's another old outlaw song that's stuck in my head tonight, and it's
even brought back some pleasant memories about my time in the TM
movement, so I'll share them with you.

Back in early 1977, when I first heard the song, I was living at the TM
National Headquarters at the end of Sunset Blvd. I was working there as
personnel director for a few months before my Sidhis course, and lived
on the premises in one of the rooms (it was formerly a motel, for those
of you who never went there). It was a cool place to live -- a block
from the beach, next door to the Yogananda Lake Shrine -- and even
though I was making shit money I was earning precious (at the time)
course credits, so I made the best of living there.

It was there I first heard Emmylou Harris' version of a great Townes Van
Sandt outlaw song called "Pancho and Lefty." I remember listening to it
one night with my girlfriend, who I had had to sneak into my room, the
both of us feeling very much like outlaws ourselves for having 
sex there in the TM National Headquarters.  :-)

Anyway, it's a great song, and listening to it again in a Paris cafe --
all these years later -- I still love it. I also love -- all these years
later -- still feeling like an outlaw.

This is the Thor of which I spoke.  No one in modern times has shown any

Just  the knowledge of him and his world and all the attendant realities
would  INSTANTLY allure almost anyone on Earth -- yeah, for egoic
reasons, but  the allure to acquire such powers or even a fraction of
them -- if such  is possible for humans -- would be irresistible to me.

Not that I  don't get the limitations of any God's nervous system, but
when I  consider HOW LITTLE MAHARISHI ACTUALLY DELIVERED AND HOW LITTLE
HE  DEMONSTRATED, who here in the movement can say they'd be immune to
THE  REAL DEAL?

Thor ain't no one-hit wonder who can get a few people  to see him
levitating -- that kind of stuff can be easily denied by most  minds,
but THOR?  Are you kidding me?  He's no Krishna, but hey, who  wouldn't
want to just hang around his ashram?

It is this Thor  that would disrupt virtually all social structures on
Earth just by him  being known and proven to have his powers.

All major religions  would have to explain him.  All governments would
see him as a threat.   The stock market would plunge to zip in fear that
the corporations'  products would no longer be sell-able.

The whole of humanity would have to face what it was and how far from

Good thing he wanted people to their mantras secret.  That worked for a 
few years at least.  In India that might have gotten snickers because 
they would recognize the beej mantras as ones that astrologers and 
vaidyas commonly give out and are not known to be "secret."  In fact 
those mantras had been published for years in books on eastern 
philosophy and tantra.  The 1922 book "The Garland of Letters" by John 
Woodroffe lists them in chapter 26. You can view the book online.  Of 
course that would also be the reason the TM technique gives mantras for

In all seriousness, Thor would never in a million years constitute
my idea of a hero, because he's lacking the most essential quality
I look for in one. He's not funny.

No awesome sense of humor, no hero.

I prefer Captain Tightpants. Dialog like this from "Firefly" is
why I'm willing to give Joss Whedon's take on "Agents of

Bhairitu,

I just looked up in Wikipedia about the three potential states in California, 
which includes the wannabee state of Jefferson, located in northern California. 
 It sounds ideal.  But I don't believe Governor Brown or his successors will 
let this happen.  For one, politics and money will eventually get in the way.

Also, I read about the concept of Nine Nations of North America.  The idea is 
fascinating.  But who would like to be called a resident of the Empty Quarter?

Anything you see on your computer screen, you can cast it to your big

Get rid of cable! Did I tell you that the Chromcast is $35.00?

You plug in the Chromecast dongle using HDMI, Then you install the

To wit: the TMO has ALWAYS taken a superior attitude, claiming that 
marshy knew it all, his take on anything vedic was the correct one, he 
was the ONLY spiritual teacher in all of India who had the enlightened 
awareness to "bring forth the full potential of natural law" from any 
and all parts of the vedas. And since his word on the various aspects 
of the vedas always supported him being big cheese and getting all the 
money, that means the other vedic authorities are wrong.


An example would be the old goat's assertion that south facing 
entrances are wholly and always negative when other authorities on 
vastu veda say in their material that this is incorrect.


On a larger scale, if you ever had any dealings with the Movement, you 
know damn good and well that the Movement always builds itself up at 
the expense of everything and everyone else. They have never been 
interested in sharing, or creating coalitions to promote anything 
other than TM. That is the reason that the TMO has never done anything 
to promote ayurveda with other organizations like Vasant Lad's outfit.


As I have stated here on FFL I have spoken with people who attempted 
to create a cooperative effort between Chopra's people and the 
Movement to promote ayurveda and to have the TMO and Lad's people work 
together and the TMO rebuffed both parties.


They had no interest in promoting ayurveda with others because it did 
not glorify the TMO, nor would they get near as much money out of it 
as they would if the other parties would slap both sides of their own 
heads as they said "Lawdy Mercy! Massa Marshy done come up wid a betta 
kind-a aya-veda! Les all do TM and forget traditional ayurveda in 
favor of the yuppie with money version the TMO created!"


In the same vein I assure you that the only reason MD is approaching 
these folks is NOT to learn from WAVES, nor promote vedic culture in 
concert with them, but to get WAVES all practicing TMSP and eventually 
to make WAVES a subsidiary of the TMO. That's the way they function, 
always have and always will.


If you choose not to believe it, perhaps you should consider taking a 
course at your local community college on not being so gullible.

It was probably the use of Marty Robbins' "El Paso" in the final episode of 
"Breaking Bad" that got me thinking about it, but ever since I've been on kind 
of a music kick, finding and listening to classic outlaw songs. "El Paso" is 
obviously one of the greats in that category, but it's another old outlaw song 
that's stuck in my head tonight, and it's even brought back some pleasant 
memories about my time in the TM movement, so I'll share them with you. 

Back in early 1977, when I first heard the song, I was living at the TM 
National Headquarters at the end of Sunset Blvd. I was working there as 
personnel director for a few months before my Sidhis course, and lived on the 
premises in one of the rooms (it was formerly a motel, for those of you who 
never went there). It was a cool place to live -- a block from the beach, next 
door to the Yogananda Lake Shrine -- and even though I was making shit money I 
was earning precious (at the time) course credits, so I made the best of living 
there. 

It was there I first heard Emmylou Harris' version of a great Townes Van Sandt 
outlaw song called "Pancho and Lefty." I remember listening to it one night 
with my girlfriend, who I had had to sneak into my room, the both of us feeling 
very much like outlaws ourselves for having  sex there in the TM National 
Headquarters.  :-)

Anyway, it's a great song, and listening to it again in a Paris cafe -- all 
these years later -- I still love it. I also love -- all these years later -- 
still feeling like an outlaw.

Re: [FairfieldLife] US Federal Government Is Shut Down

One  of the problem with this kind of health insurance is that the 
younger people have to subsidize the older people and the government has 
to subsidize both. If you are a healthy 25 year old, why would you want 
to pay $350 for health insurance, when you hardly ever get sick? The 
real problem is not with the insurance, or with people's health - the 
problem is the high cost of medical care and medicine.

I am in close to perfect health - pulse at about 50, never go to the

Two months after signing up for my insurance, I got a notice saying my 
premium was being re-evaluated, and would probably go down, and they

The last notice in the mail for the expired insurance coverage I have

So, if that is the best I can do, I will now opt for insuring myself,

Of course the US can annex other countries if they petition to join. Texas was 
a free Republic once they gained independence from Mexico. Joined the Union in 
1845. As a Repubic, Texas has always claimed the right to leave the union. Not 
so sure the civil war settled that issue since the other states were never 
independent republics. Texas also intered under the stipulation that it could 
subdivide into five seperate states.

 Mike,

I actually believe that it's possible for the US to acquire other states in the 
world.  It's possible for Canada to voluntary join in since the two countries 
are already fairly similar in cultures.

Although the national language differs, it's also possible for Mexico to be 
annexed just like all of the southwestern states, which were originally part of 
Mexico before the Mexican-American War.

But given the fiscal turf battles in Congress at this time, it doesn't appear 
the US has the power to unify the interests of everyone.
