You just have to read his "colourful language" about abuse of small babies to 
see that Judy was right about the Turq all along, he is a sadistic pervert.

 He refers to it, as, "colorful language". Then proceeds to put the blame, for 
his very disturbing thoughts, on those who call him out. Not because we are 
"cult members", but because we are normal, decent human beings. 
 

 Barry is in denial about this, and that can be a warning sign, too. Judy used 
to caution about Barry's mental illness. I thought she was exaggerating - Now, 
I am not so sure.

2014-11-27 Thread Share Long sharelon...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]



I watched most of the first video. It's a nice idea and he joins a lot of 
interesting artistic and mathematical ideas together to make a compelling 
narrative. But basically I think he's doing what crop circle makers do and that 
is create complex patterns out of nothing. Let's face it, these mathematical 
symbols are known to people too and they are very simple to draw and, 
critically, very easy to draw in a field at night in the chosen medium.  

 If I hadn't seen a film of people creating a complex crop circle designed by a 
mathematician for the express purpose of being difficult I might give it a bit 
more credence. He spoils his case further with some highly dubious physics at 
the 9 minute mark and then goes over the top into new age madness and making 
wild connections between things so I switched off. And he needs to switch off 
his urge to make patterns without evidence that there is a real connection 
between unrelated phenomena.
 

 But there is something interesting here though: the lights shot in the field 
at night need an explanation. The best one I can give is that they are point 
sources more distant than the person filming them thought they were (or the 
head torches of people making the circle?) and the diagonal shape is caused by 
the aperture/shutter of whatever camera/phone they were filmed with. This would 
also explain why there are more videos of similar "craft" on Youtube. 
 

 There was a lot of this sort of mistake when camcorders became popular, all of 
a sudden people had film of never before seen UFO's. And when digital cameras 
came out, people suddenly had photos of "orbs" which no one had ever seen 
before. These were interpreted as angels or souls or something. But were 
actually motes of dust given sharper focus because of the tiny sensors - and 
consequently deeper depth of field - in digital compact cameras. But you're a 
photographer Nabby so you know all this. 
 

 I would like to know what they used to film the lights in the field though, 
seems like that info should be made available so curious minds can help the 
makers iron out any kiddology. Wouldn't you rather know if you were mistaken?
 

 All in all though I enjoyed the video, it has some nice art and a good message 
about reconnecting the spirit with the body and that seems like a good thing.

Re: [FairfieldLife] All Beings Enlightened

Aimee Semple McPherson was one of the most glamorous women in the US in the 
1920s. 
 

 She must of had the most amazing EEG's to look at.
 

 Nothing boring about this diva:
 

 

 

 Had she drowned? Had she staged the ultimate theatrical stunt? Had the weight 
of her own fame just become too much? Then one day in June she re-emerged in 
the small town of Agua Prieta on the Mexico-Arizona border.
 The term Foursquare Gospel comes from the book of Ezekiel, who saw God 
revealed with four different faces: a man, a lion, an ox and an eagle 
 

 "She was a spellbinding speaker," says Sutton.
 These were no ordinary sermons - they were more like music hall performances. 
"She had the best actors, the best set designers, the best costumes, the best 
make-up artists and professional lighting," says Sutton. "She would create 
these stories, these dramas in which biblical stories would come to life." 
 

 
 "She knew how to use dramatic tricks to draw audiences, and so she turned out 
to be enormously popular. What made her most popular was her seeming ability to 
lay hands on the sick and to heal them."

 I don't mind all his other insults, beyond their anti-social nature - there is

ever said was necessarily limited and imperfect.
 

 

 It's sorta like the Christians who ignore Jesus' observation that everyone has 
"fallen short of the Glory of God. There is none perfect -no, not one."
 

 They always add "except Me" because Jesus couldn't possibly have been saying 
that HE was imperfect...
 

 Other Christians justify the phrase by saying that once he was resurrected, he 
was automatically perfect, so there.
 

 I've heard TM teachers discuss how Gurudev was the reincarnation of John the 
Baptist while MMY was the reincarnation of Jesus.
 

 It's pretty remarkable, all the stuff people say to themselves to justify 
ceasing to think for themselves, no matter what.

[FairfieldLife] Curious, and lazy, inquiry about "Thanksgiving" in other countries

2014-11-27 Thread fleetwood_macnche...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]

I mentioned about Thanksgiving, being a less commercial holiday than our 
others, and am curious if a similar holiday exists in the other countries 
represented here? In other words, one not tied to religion or patriotism, or a 
great person, but simply to give thanks for what we have.

  Re "Like the man and woman with him touching things and her drawing them. How

Search me. One possibility is that the camera crew following the old geezer can 
let her know what's being touched and she can then add subliminal suggestions 
in the chat she gives to his wife. (Don't forget we're seeing an *edited* 
version of what's going on.) 
 The rest of the series (another three episodes) is also posted on YouTube and 
the others are even stronger than this first one.
 

 Yes, like you, although I'm entertained by this kind of mind control it is 
also a bit worrying that people can be so easily manipulated without being 
consciously aware of it. Makes you wonder how far we're being controlled in our 
everyday lives.
 

 Derren Brown could rule the world if he wanted to. Maybe he already does. Did 
you see the one where he ran a management training course but trained them to 
commit armed robbery without them knowing? And they did it. How scary was that!
 

 And on the last Channel 4 show he did he worked out someone's mobile phone 
number by doing card tricks! Or the one where he strolled round town mugging 
people by politely asking them for directions and then asking for their car 
keys and wallets! I love this psychological manipulation stuff, it makes me 
think there's a key to people you can work out and then do what you like but 
I'll bet he just wants it to look like that.
 

 I also like to think that it wouldn't work on me, but don't have much 
confidence about that. Clearly we really are all half aware.
 

 I've only seen a bit of this K Mills video so far but the dwarf policeman 
stunt seemed like the sort of thing that can't be misinterpreted all that 
easily! You either guess it right or you don't...
 

 We have to trust that there was no "cheating" on her part due to the fact we 
are viewers and she can edit and do all sorts of things off camera so if that 
is the case then I love her variety of ways in which she presented her ability 
to manipulate others. But some ways were not explained or evident - like the 
older couple touching and drawing or the texting guy at the beginning or how he 
then figured out she had been eating popcorn. Then she does explain the car 
buying guy to some extent. But yes, the idea of being subtly manipulated all 
the time by virtually everything we do, whether someone takes advantage of our 
suggestibility or not, is truly fascinating. Probably already today I have done 
ten things that were not of my idea, just suggestions planted by various 
positioning of things or something I saw out of the corner of my eye while 
typing this.

Can we say, "karmic rebound"? Yes, I think we can.  

 Barry has, unfortunately, designed himself, for a world that is quickly fading 
away. All types of abuse, fraud, and pettiness, are being exposed, and 
recognized. Through the rising consciousness of the world, and social media, 
everyone is becoming effortlessly aware, of *everything*. No more hiding in the 
shadows, or self aggrandizement, from insults. Everything is out in the open, 
now. Barry is out in the open, now, and any tendencies he has to hurt others 
for his own enjoyment, have been exposed, for all of us to read, and archived. 
Every word. 
 

 It is quite a coming to judgment for Barry, as he has miscalculated, due to 
his egotism, and cynicism, the global expansion of consciousness, and the 
natural strength that provides, for decent people, like those here on FFL. He 
still lives back in his hippie daze, with Freddie and the dreamers, where 
pretending a faux coolness was all that was necessary. No growth since, except 
a parroting of the abuse he suffered, at the hands of Freddie.
 

 Yes, the lights are on, and everyone is home. Barry can't find a hole deep 
enough right now.

[FairfieldLife] SBS's Jiva and MMY

2014-11-27 Thread emptyb...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]

SBS passed his jiva ... blah blah ...

 

 Such (p)suckophantic B.S.. What else could you expect from a Maharaj and a 
true-believing TM teacher but vacuous and esoteric prattle?
 
 This just demonstrates how ignorant both Hans and Maharaj Kanju are about the 
lineage of Shankara's Advaita - which MMY claimed founded his meditation 
practice.
  
 You can pass along your blessing but not your jiva/soul. The jiva/soul is the 
basis of samsara and exists only as the identification of sheer awareness with 
intellect-mind.  This is why Patanjali gave principle importance to the sutra 
YS 3.35 defining discernment of the separation between awareness and intellect 
(purusha-buddhi viveka).
 
 The jiva is the causal source of the subtle body-mind. It does not exist as an 
entity but as a reflection of pure awareness. It functions as the illusion of 
doer-ship as it shines upon the sanskara-s and vasana-s inhabiting the causal 
sheath. 
  
 Shakti does not mean energy (the capacity for work or activity). Rather, 
Shakti means power. Shakti can be transmitted to another person – a reflection 
cannot be transmitted to anything by anything else.

When you are ready for sleep youjust sit up in bed and then let yourbija mantra

For example, my Istadevata isSaraswati, the Goddess of Learning, soby resting 
the bija portion of hermantra at the heart chakra, myintelligence will grow by 
leaps andbounds, right while I'm sleeping. 

Then, when you awaken in the morningyou will feel refreshed and full ofenergy

Yes. A lucid dreamis a dream in which the sleeper isaware that he or she is 
dreaming. Fromwhat I've read, the phenomenon oflucid dreaming has been 
wellestablished by scientific research, soits existence is well established.

 People usually think thoughts just before going to sleep but quite often they 
are just random thinking without any direction. 

 Until I was taught the "Night Technique" by Satyanand, I used another 
technique that I developed myself - you simply think of something positive to 
look forward to the next day and then slip into sleep. 

 It works too, but not as well. There is something about the directed sound

 So last night I had a lucid experience while dreaming (it's happened a few 
times before - always involuntary as I've never bothered to follow the 
"techniques" recommended by devotees of this perception). At least I assume it 
was a lucid-dream experience - I suppose one could have a normal dream which 
included the false thought that one was lucid when in fact one wasn't (if you 
can follow that explanation). What's more, I woke up (for real), mused about 
the dream for a minute, then fell asleep again and immediately went back into 
the same dream landscape in the same self-conscious, lucid state.
 Now I'd heard that when in a lucid dream you can alter the "dreamscape" to 
suit yourself. So you might find it amusing to flip over into being a Zero 
pilot on a kamikaze mission and diving into the Golden Dome in Fairfield. 
Whatever floats your boat. Anyway, though I was lucidly self-aware that I was 
indeed dreaming I couldn't change the story narration unfolding before me so 
just left the dream to run its course while absorbing the novel experience.
 My question is: is there some trick to getting the dream to change to suit 
your whim or is it a case of practice makes perfect? Or maybe most lucid dreams 
are like mine? Or maybe my will power is feeble compared with my imaginative 
power and others have a more dominant will?

 The trick is to practice a Laya Yoga technique we learned from Satyanand: 

 When you are ready for sleep you just sit up in bed and then let your bija 
mantra rest at the heart chakra for a few minutes. That way, the subtle 
currents from your Istadevata will permeate your entire being while you sleep. 

 For example, my Istadevata is Saraswati, the Goddess of Learning, so by 
resting the bija portion of her mantra at the heart chakra, my intelligence 
will grow by leaps and bounds, right while I'm sleeping. 

 Then, when you awaken in the morning you will feel refreshed and full of 
energy and knowledge. It's that simple!

 Anyone had a similar experience?

 Yes. A lucid dream is a dream in which the sleeper is aware that he or she is 
dreaming. From what I've read, the phenomenon of lucid dreaming has been well 
established by scientific research, so its existence is well established.

 You can pass along your blessing but not your jiva/soul. The jiva/soul is the 
basis of samsara and exists only as the identification of sheer awareness with 
intellect-mind.  This is why Patanjali gave principle importance to the sutra 
YS 3.35 defining discernment of the separation between awareness and intellect 
(purusha-buddhi viveka).
 
 The jiva is the causal source of the subtle body-mind. It does not exist as an 
entity but as a reflection of pure awareness. It functions as the illusion of 
doer-ship as it shines upon the sanskara-s and vasana-s inhabiting the causal 
sheath.
  
 Shakti does not mean energy (the capacity for work or activity). Rather, 
Shakti means power. Shakti can be transmitted to another person – a reflection 
cannot be transmitted to anything by anything else.

Sometimes  we Americans can't see the trees for the forest, which is true 
of  everyone.  So, the solution is to listen to someone else, in this case a  
politically and economically astute Canadian who's been watching how the  
voters reacted recently and made the observations below.  See what  he says. 
.  Let's see if we'll continue to join  together against Obama's hard left 
turn and his disregarding of the U.S.  Constitution.  

This  Canadian has a profound insight of our  mid-term election results!   

By  _Marc Patrone_ (http://www.calgarysun.com/author/marc-patrone) , Sun 
News network  

America  is on the edge of a second revolutionary war.

It  may not be bloody like the first one, but it will be hugely  important.

Some  might suggest it’s more a civil war,  but with liberty and the 
constitution hanging in the balance, revolution  seems a more appropriate 
comparison.

There  are no British troops or monarchy to fight this time.

The  ‘shot heard around the world’ wasn’t  fired from a musket, it came 
from the ballot box.

Americans  have taken a long hard look at the kind of fundamental 
transformation  promised by Barack Obama and the Democrat party and they want  
nothing to do with it.

The  Republican victory suggests Americans are more than just unhappy with  
the direction the country is headed.

Such  was the devastating scope of the electoral debacle for the Democrats 
that it appears  Americans are mobilizing for war  against the Obama agenda.

They  are only now truly beginning to understand the threat to liberty he  
presents.

What’s so deeply troubling, albeit not  entirely unexpected, is the 
disdain, arrogance and contempt  with  which this president dismissed the 
results.

“So  to everyone who voted, I want you to know I hear you. To the 
two-thirds  of voters who chose not to participate in the process yesterday, I 
hear  
you, too,” he said.

Meaning  what?

He  seems to be suggesting that by not voting, the majority of Americans  
agree with what he’s doing.

Terrifying?  You bet.

It’s taken six years, but the ugly truth  about Obama’s contemptuous 
attitudes  toward the people who elected him twice is becoming all too  evident.

Lame  duck? Guess again.

The  man probably realizes that a chance to remake the U.S. according to 
his far left  view of the world may not come around again.

His  time is running out. Obama’s ‘nuclear’  option is amnesty for 
millions of illegals.

He  expects those illegals will become  dependents of the state, thus 
stacking the electoral deck in favour of Democrats by promising the new  ‘wards 
of the state’ a suite of entitlements.

The  depth of this destructive agenda is clear, rip off trillions in wealth 
 (which Obama believes was stolen  anyway)  and give it to those whom he 
considers ‘victims’ of  capitalism.

The  beneficiaries will naturally reward the progressive left with voter  
support into perpetuity. Viola, the progressive dream of a one-party  state 
is realized.

This  has been decades in the making. The left has infiltrated, corrupted, 
and  subverted the institutions that had, up to now, served as pillars  
supporting freedom, democracy, and prosperity.

The  bulk of what was once a free and independent media has been reduced to 
 little more than an arm of the Democrats.

That  tens of millions of Americans are flocking to Fox News, Conservative  
talk radio and online news sites is heartening but doesn’t change the fact 
most TV, print media  outlets are in an advanced state of putrid, cancerous 
liberal rot.

The  same cancer has undermined the school system, ‘big labour,' the 
environmental movement, and the  Hollywood culture machine.

Even  capitalism itself has succumbed to the lure of easy government money, 
 power and cronyism.

So  who is left to fight for freedom? The rest of America.

Obama will attempt to ram through amnesty,  climate change, wealth 
redistribution and he will ignore the  constitution to do it.

Republicans  have assured Obama impeachment is off the table. And so the  
battle lines are drawn.

Fasten  your seatbelts Canada, we’re about to  get a front-row seat to the 
battle for the soul of America and indeed  the free world.

Let’s hope that, as in the first  revolutionary war, that the right side 
wins.

If  it doesn’t, we all  lose.

 There seems to be no end to Obama’s cunningness..

November 9,  2014

I started investigating Loretta Lynch, Obama’s pick for  Attorney
General and immediately could see an interesting connection. I  read an
article stating that when Loretta Lynch started Harvard,  she
co-founded an African-American sorority. There was only one other  girl
in this sorority, Sharon Malone. The name rang a bell.

The name  of the wife of AG Holder is Sharon Malone, she is the sister
of a known  civil rights leader Vivien Malone -Jones (one of 2 black
students who  enrolled in all white University of Alabama).

I checked the age: both  were born in 1959 and both went to Harvard at
the same time. There were  very few African American students in
Harvard in 1977-1981, so I am rather  certain that Loretta Lynch is an
old college friend of Sharon Malone, the  wife of the current AG Eric
Holder.

Why this connection is  important? Holder will be investigated by
Congress for totally lawless gun  trafficking to Mexican drug cartels
in Fast and Furious, IRS scandal, VA  scandal, DOJ, NSA, EPA, FEC and
other scandals. Most importantly, Holder  covered up Obama’s use of a
stolen CT Social Security number of Harrison J.  Bounel 042-68-4425 and
Obama’s use of bogus IDs. It seems that  a long  time college friend of
Holder’s wife was picked up as a gate keeper to  continue all of the
cover up by Holder and shield Holder and Obama from  criminal
prosecution.

oh, good point.  But these were pretty large birds, and they were scattered

 Looking at the pictures below, the guys I saw maybe had a more vertical

 And then the next day, over in Chesterfield, near the Missouri River, I 
noticed a big freshly plowed field with white spots all around.  As I got

Turkey vultures have a *much* smaller body, all that bulk is a folded six foot 
wingspan - We watch them circle up and out of the canyons almost every day. 
Largest nostrils of any bird, so they can smell carrion from hundreds of feet 
up. Doesn't add to their looks, but first things, first.

 oh, good point.  But these were pretty large birds, and they were scattered

pecking along at little bits of something, sorta like chickens. 

 Looking at the pictures below, the guys I saw maybe had a more vertical

 And then the next day, over in Chesterfield, near the Missouri River, I 
noticed a big freshly plowed field with white spots all around.  As I got

away at what must have been some freshly laid seed.

These guys could have found something new in developing artificial

digitize these worm brains and put them into machines that would acquire 
artificial intelligence. 

 There is probably a method now in biological science for altering genes in 
these worms to make them smarter in order to make complex decisions.  So, in 
the end, it could be possible to create an intelligent machine using smart worm 
brains, but it would inherently have the instincts of a worm.

2014-11-27 Thread emptyb...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]

You missed the point and got your buttons pushed over a small and insignificant 
technicality uttered by someone who has not studied Sanskrit.

Neb-Ur-Lost

You must not have understood the reply. 

The idea proposed was that SBS gave his jiva to MMY - as if it was a holiday 
present. This is pure Neo-Advaita fantasy speculation. 

If MMY had received SBS's jiva then MMY would have had to eject out of his body 
and permanently transfer either into another body or into another realm.

I'm sure that this new "pseudo-MMY/real SBS" must have said as much and that 
you can actually point out where he said so. 

I'll wait for your clarification after you "discuss" it with the space bro's.

Until then, I'll stick with Adi-Shankara.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Lucid-dreaming query

S3, 

 Lucid dreaming is a result of your meditation practice.  It is the 
manifestation of transcendental consciousness in the dreaming state.  MMY has 
stated that TC can be automatically maintained in the waking, sleeping and 
dreaming states.  But there are junctures in between these states where pure 
consciousness exists--that is, the state of no thought.
 

 In this particular discussion, MMY asked a rhetorical question: what would 
happen if a person can both maintain the waking and dreaming states at the same 
time?  Personally, I don't know the answer.
 

 Also, IMO, dreams are influenced partially by the transit of the Moon as it 
progresses through the various zodiacs on a nightly basis.  IOW, the Moon has a 
magnetic effect on a person's brain, thus influencing various parts of the 
brain that includes personality, memory and inherent personal behaviors.
 

 On a more esoteric levels, it through dreams that a person can get a personal 
message from the unified field.  It is through dreams that one gets some subtle 
insight into your past life karma, and possible events that will happen in the 
future, both near and far.
 

---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,  wrote :

 So last night I had a lucid experience while dreaming (it's happened a few 
times before - always involuntary as I've never bothered to follow the 
"techniques" recommended by devotees of this perception). At least I assume it 
was a lucid-dream experience - I suppose one could have a normal dream which 
included the false thought that one was lucid when in fact one wasn't (if you 
can follow that explanation). What's more, I woke up (for real), mused about 
the dream for a minute, then fell asleep again and immediately went back into 
the same dream landscape in the same self-conscious, lucid state.
 

 Now I'd heard that when in a lucid dream you can alter the "dreamscape" to 
suit yourself. So you might find it amusing to flip over into being a Zero 
pilot on a kamikaze mission and diving into the Golden Dome in Fairfield. 
Whatever floats your boat. Anyway, though I was lucidly self-aware that I was 
indeed dreaming I couldn't change the story narration unfolding before me so 
just left the dream to run its course while absorbing the novel experience.
 

 My question is: is there some trick to getting the dream to change to suit 
your whim or is it a case of practice makes perfect? Or maybe most lucid dreams 
are like mine? Or maybe my will power is feeble compared with my imaginative 
power and others have a more dominant will?
 

 Anyone had a similar experience?

[FairfieldLife] A Very Strange Christmas

2014-11-27 Thread lengli...@cox.net [FairfieldLife]

My son wrote this years ago. As the season is upon us, I thought I would share:

http://www.gaiaonline.com/arena/event/holiday-poem-contest/vote/?entry_id=100769115

 

 

 Santa Claus, the jolly elf,
Stood before his workshop shelf.
With twinkling eyes he took a nail,
And tapped three times upon a pail.

There was a whoosh! There was a whine!
Cogs went "Grunt!" and gears went "Grind!"
The workshop wall slid back and in,
While Santa stroked his bearded chin.

Where once was simple jolly stone,
Now stood a sight to freeze the bone.
An altar carved from ancient toys,
Un-dreampt of by good girls and boys!

An air of madness filled the room,
Strange creatures skittered in the gloom.
Santa raised a china doll,
And cried out "T'ngen Frk't Gh'rahl!"

Button eyes of midnight black,
Began to smoke, and then to crack.
Light and shadow mixed and fled,
As something reared its horn-ed head!

Just then the workshop door flew in,
And in charged Cupid! Donner! Blitzen!
The eight reindeer were armed for war,
And Dasher strode onto the floor.

"We know about your plan!" he roared!
"We know you've gone out of your gourd!
We love you, Santa, but we must stop
Your plan to summon Yog-Rudolph!"

A cackle rose about the place,
Which twisted wrong in time and space,
And Santa joined the horrid laughter!
"Ho-ho-ho! Ho-ho-HASTUR!"

Comet threw a sugar bomb,
But still the laughter echoed on!
Dancer launched an RPG,
But it couldn't stop the twisted glee!

"F'tain F'tek F'Leth F'tagn! 
Thus completes the ancient bargain!"
Santa shook like horrid jelly,
And seemed to twist about his belly!

A flash of blinding, burning night,
A rush of horrid anti-light,
A note from some forgotten horn,
And Yog-Rudolph was reborn!

"At last, the end of life and reason,
Shall mark the last holiday season!
My hunger burns from long repose,
Cower before my crimson nose!"

Then Prancer and Vixen joined the fray,
Determined to fight and save the day.
As Yog prepared to devour all,
They played catch with a soccer ball.

"Pitiful worms! Do you not see?
Soon all you know will cease to be!"
"You can kill the world all night and day,
But this is our ball and you can't play!"

Silence fell as Rudolph paused,
He flexed a thousand wicked claws,
He saw the ball pass 'tween the two.
"Hey, guys, can I play with you?"

"No." they said. "Now go away.
You can not even watch us play."
Rudolph blinked a million eyes,
Then sniffled and began to cry.

"You guys suck! I'm going home!
To sit upon my wretched throne,
And blog about how much you SUCK!"
"That's nice. Leave." "You guys suck!"

All at once the darkness fled,
Leaving peace for live and dead.
Yog-Rudolph wept his wretched tears,
And went to cry for a thousand years.

Prancer caught the ball and paused,
Then went to check on Santa Claus.
Old Cringle groaned and wiped his face,
His eyes were without madness' trace.

"What has happened? Where am I?
Why is my workshop- oh. Oh my."
"It's okay Santa, you weren't yourself.
We're glad to have back our favorite elf."

Dancer and Comet helped him stand.
And joy would return to all the land.
"You sure have saved my jolly hide!
You Reindeer fill me with such pride!"

And all the eight, and Santa, too,
Laughed until their cheeks were blue.
And Christmas would be here to stay,
Except in crummy old Rlyeh.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Curious, and lazy, inquiry about "Thanksgiving" in other countries

All the stories about the Trolls are age-old oral traditions. Funny thing is 
that when these stories were collected and written down in the 1800's they were 
coherent and often identical even between remote villages in different parts of 
Scandinavia and Iceland. 
 I had an Icelandic friend who was rather bright who said he often saw and 
communicated with Trolls who he claimed were not benign but rather dense and 
could be easily tricked into doing things he wanted them to do. 
 

 But communication was always restricted to after sunset or before sunrise :-)
 

 As wiki points out there are huge numbers of these Creatures but all being 
biggish, dim-witted and potentially dangerous.
 

 "In Norse mythology, troll, like thurs, is a term applied to jötnar 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B6tnar, and are mentioned throughout the Old 
Norse corpus. In Old Norse sources, trolls are said to dwell in isolated 
mountains, rocks, and caves, sometimes live together (usually as 
father-and-daughter or mother-and-son), and are rarely described as helpful or 
friendly.[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll#cite_note-ORCHARD1997167-1 In 
the Prose Edda http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prose_Edda book Skáldskaparmál 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sk%C3%A1ldskaparm%C3%A1l, a scenario describing an 
encounter between an unnamed troll woman and the 9th century skald 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skald Bragi Boddason 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bragi_Boddason is provided. According to the 
section, once, late in the evening, Bragi was driving through "a certain 
forest" when a troll woman aggressively asked him who he was, in the process 
describing herself: 
 Bragi responds in turn, describing himself and his abilities as a skillful 
skald http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skald, before the scenario ends.[3] 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll#cite_note-FAULKES-132-3
 There is much confusion and overlap in the use of Old Norse terms jötunn, 
troll, þurs and risi, which describe various beings. Lotte Motz 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotte_Motz theorized that these were originally 
four distinct classes of beings; lords of nature (jötunn), mythical magicians 
(troll), hostile monsters (þurs) and heroic and courtly beings (risi)—the last 
class being the youngest addition. Ármann Jakobsson calls this theory 
"unsupported by any convincing evidence".[4] 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll#cite_note-JAKOBSSON06-4 He has gone on to 
study the Old Norse examples of the term troll and has concluded that in the 
Middle Ages, the term is used to denote various beings such as a giant or 
mountain-dweller, a witch, an abnormally strong or large or ugly person, an 
evil spirit, a ghost, a blámaðr http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_people, a 
magical boar, a heathen demi-god, a demon, a brunnmigi 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brunnmigi or a berserk 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berserker.[5] 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll#cite_note-JAKOBSSON08-5[clarification needed 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_clarify]
 Scandinavian folklore Later, in Scandinavian folklore, trolls become defined 
as a particular type of being.[6] 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll#cite_note-SIMEK335-6 Numerous tales about 
trolls are recorded, in which they are frequently described as being extremely 
old, very strong, but slow and dim-witted, and are at times described as 
man-eaters and as turning to stone upon contact with sunlight.[7] 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll#cite_note-KVEDELAND-SEHMSDORF-301-313-7 
However, trolls are also attested as looking much the same as human beings, 
without any particularly hideous appearance about them, but where they differ 
is in that they live far away from human habitation, and, unlike the rå and 
näck—who are attested as "solitary beings", trolls generally have "some form of 
social organization". Where they differ, Lindow adds, is that they are not 
Christian, and those that encounter them do not know them. Therefore trolls 
were in the end dangerous, regardless of how well they may get along with 
Christian society, and trolls display a habit of bergtagning ('kidnapping'; 
literally "mountain-taking") and overrunning a farm or estate.[8] 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll#cite_note-LINDOW-1978-33-35-8
 While noting that the etymology of the word "troll" remains uncertain, John 
Lindow defines trolls in later Swedish folklore as "nature beings" and as 
"all-purpose otherworldly being[s], equivalent, for example, to fairies 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy in Anglo 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-saxons-Celtic 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celts traditions" and that they "therefore appear 
in various migratory legends 
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Migratory_legend&action=edit&redlink=1
 where collective nature-beings are called for". Lindow notes that trolls are 
sometimes swapped out for cats and "little people" in the folklore record.[8]

biggish, dim-witted and potentially dangerous.
 

 "In Norse mythology, troll, like thurs, is a term applied to jötnar 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B6tnar, and are mentioned throughout the Old 
Norse corpus. In Old Norse sources, trolls are said to dwell in isolated 
mountains, rocks, and caves, sometimes live together (usually as 
father-and-daughter or mother-and-son), and are rarely described as helpful or 
friendly.[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll#cite_note-ORCHARD1997167-1 In 
the Prose Edda http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prose_Edda book Skáldskaparmál 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sk%C3%A1ldskaparm%C3%A1l, a scenario describing an 
encounter between an unnamed troll woman and the 9th century skald 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skald Bragi Boddason 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bragi_Boddason is provided. According to the 
section, once, late in the evening, Bragi was driving through "a certain 
forest" when a troll woman aggressively asked him who he was, in the process 
describing herself:
 Bragi responds in turn, describing himself and his abilities as a skillful 
skald http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skald, before the scenario ends.[3] 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll#cite_note-FAULKES-132-3
 There is much confusion and overlap in the use of Old Norse terms jötunn, 
troll, þurs and risi, which describe various beings. Lotte Motz 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotte_Motz theorized that these were originally 
four distinct classes of beings; lords of nature (jötunn), mythical magicians 
(troll), hostile monsters (þurs) and heroic and courtly beings (risi)—the last 
class being the youngest addition. Ármann Jakobsson calls this theory 
"unsupported by any convincing evidence".[4] 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll#cite_note-JAKOBSSON06-4 He has gone on to 
study the Old Norse examples of the term troll and has concluded that in the 
Middle Ages, the term is used to denote various beings such as a giant or 
mountain-dweller, a witch, an abnormally strong or large or ugly person, an 
evil spirit, a ghost, a blámaðr http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_people, a 
magical boar, a heathen demi-god, a demon, a brunnmigi 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brunnmigi or a berserk 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berserker.[5] 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll#cite_note-JAKOBSSON08-5[clarification needed 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_clarify]
 Scandinavian folklore Later, in Scandinavian folklore, trolls become defined 
as a particular type of being.[6] 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll#cite_note-SIMEK335-6 Numerous tales about 
trolls are recorded, in which they are frequently described as being extremely 
old, very strong, but slow and dim-witted, and are at times described as 
man-eaters and as turning to stone upon contact with sunlight.[7] 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll#cite_note-KVEDELAND-SEHMSDORF-301-313-7 
However, trolls are also attested as looking much the same as human beings, 
without any particularly hideous appearance about them, but where they differ 
is in that they live far away from human habitation, and, unlike the rå and 
näck—who are attested as "solitary beings", trolls generally have "some form of 
social organization". Where they differ, Lindow adds, is that they are not 
Christian, and those that encounter them do not know them. Therefore trolls 
were in the end dangerous, regardless of how well they may get along with 
Christian society, and trolls display a habit of bergtagning ('kidnapping'; 
literally "mountain-taking") and overrunning a farm or estate.[8]

SBS passed his jiva ... blah blah ...

Such (p)suckophantic B.S.. What else could you expect from aMaharaj and a 
true-believing TM teacher but vacuous and esoteric prattle?
This just demonstrates how ignorant both Hans and Maharaj Kanju are about 
thelineage of Shankara's Advaita - which MMY claimed founded his 
meditationpractice. You can pass along your blessing but not your jiva/soul. 
Thejiva/soul is the basis of samsara and exists only as the identificationof 
sheer awareness with intellect-mind.  Thisis why Patanjali gave principle 
importance to the sutra YS 3.35 defining discernmentof the separation between 
awareness and intellect (purusha-buddhi viveka).

The jiva is the causal source of the subtle body-mind. It does notexist as an 
entity but as a reflection of pure awareness. Itfunctions as the illusion of 
doer-ship as it shines upon the sanskara-s and vasana-sinhabiting the causal 
sheath. Shakti does not mean energy (the capacity for work oractivity). Rather, 
Shakti means power. Shakti can be transmitted toanother person – a reflection 
cannot be transmitted to anything by anythingelse. Wake up and smell the 
stinkin left-handed fantasy.

We warned this guy years ago about posting these kind of messages - a
double-edged sword. Anyone that has been posting as long as Barry (since
1994) has been posting should know better. Anything can be taken out of
context so it's just much better to be friendly online and reserve
off-color comments for buddies at the bar. This was really dumb of Barry -
in fact, it's one of the dumbest comments I've ever seen on newsgroups
since I started in 1999. If I was the moderator of this group I'd put him
on probation with a very strong warning and demand an apology to the entire
group and until he does I'd limit his participation.

This was TOTALLY inappropriate for a family forum like this.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Lucid-dreaming query

2014-11-27 Thread s3raph...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]

Re "Lucid dreaming is a result of your meditation practice.": 

 Yes, that's possibly a factor, but though meditation has sometimes given me 
that sense that I'm "awake" all night - ie, there is no "gap" in the continuity 
of awareness - even if I'm in deep-sleep consciousness (or dreaming), it is 
more a maintenance of the witnessing state. 
 

 But the lucid thing is more an ego trip - it's my relative self playing with 
images from the subconscious but with that critical self-awareness intact that 
is always there in the waking state but is normally absent during dreams.
 
I agree with emptybill's post about "maintaining the waking and dreaming states 
at the same time". It's probably what really does happen during some types of 
mental illness.

 S3, 

 Lucid dreaming is a result of your meditation practice.  It is the 
manifestation of transcendental consciousness in the dreaming state.  MMY has 
stated that TC can be automatically maintained in the waking, sleeping and 
dreaming states.  But there are junctures in between these states where pure 
consciousness exists--that is, the state of no thought.
 

 In this particular discussion, MMY asked a rhetorical question: what would 
happen if a person can both maintain the waking and dreaming states at the same 
time?  Personally, I don't know the answer.
 

 Also, IMO, dreams are influenced partially by the transit of the Moon as it 
progresses through the various zodiacs on a nightly basis.  IOW, the Moon has a 
magnetic effect on a person's brain, thus influencing various parts of the 
brain that includes personality, memory and inherent personal behaviors.
 

 On a more esoteric levels, it through dreams that a person can get a personal 
message from the unified field.  It is through dreams that one gets some subtle 
insight into your past life karma, and possible events that will happen in the 
future, both near and far.
 

---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,  wrote :

 So last night I had a lucid experience while dreaming (it's happened a few 
times before - always involuntary as I've never bothered to follow the 
"techniques" recommended by devotees of this perception). At least I assume it 
was a lucid-dream experience - I suppose one could have a normal dream which 
included the false thought that one was lucid when in fact one wasn't (if you 
can follow that explanation). What's more, I woke up (for real), mused about 
the dream for a minute, then fell asleep again and immediately went back into 
the same dream landscape in the same self-conscious, lucid state.
 

 Now I'd heard that when in a lucid dream you can alter the "dreamscape" to 
suit yourself. So you might find it amusing to flip over into being a Zero 
pilot on a kamikaze mission and diving into the Golden Dome in Fairfield. 
Whatever floats your boat. Anyway, though I was lucidly self-aware that I was 
indeed dreaming I couldn't change the story narration unfolding before me so 
just left the dream to run its course while absorbing the novel experience.
 

 My question is: is there some trick to getting the dream to change to suit 
your whim or is it a case of practice makes perfect? Or maybe most lucid dreams 
are like mine? Or maybe my will power is feeble compared with my imaginative 
power and others have a more dominant will?
 

 Anyone had a similar experience?

you want emotional security then best forget all about polyamory; and if (like

 "In Norse mythology, troll, like thurs, is a term applied to jötnar 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B6tnar, and are mentioned throughout the Old 
Norse corpus. In Old Norse sources, trolls are said to dwell in isolated 
mountains, rocks, and caves, sometimes live together (usually as 
father-and-daughter or mother-and-son), and are rarely described as helpful or 
friendly.[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll#cite_note-ORCHARD1997167-1 In 
the Prose Edda http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prose_Edda book Skáldskaparmál 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sk%C3%A1ldskaparm%C3%A1l, a scenario describing an 
encounter between an unnamed troll woman and the 9th century skald 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skald Bragi Boddason 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bragi_Boddason is provided. According to the 
section, once, late in the evening, Bragi was driving through "a certain 
forest" when a troll woman aggressively asked him who he was, in the process 
describing herself:
 Bragi responds in turn, describing himself and his abilities as a skillful 
skald http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skald, before the scenario ends.[3] 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll#cite_note-FAULKES-132-3
 There is much confusion and overlap in the use of Old Norse terms jötunn, 
troll, þurs and risi, which describe various beings. Lotte Motz 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotte_Motz theorized that these were originally 
four distinct classes of beings; lords of nature (jötunn), mythical magicians 
(troll), hostile monsters (þurs) and heroic and courtly beings (risi)—the last 
class being the youngest addition. Ármann Jakobsson calls this theory 
"unsupported by any convincing evidence".[4] 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll#cite_note-JAKOBSSON06-4 He has gone on to 
study the Old Norse examples of the term troll and has concluded that in the 
Middle Ages, the term is used to denote various beings such as a giant or 
mountain-dweller, a witch, an abnormally strong or large or ugly person, an 
evil spirit, a ghost, a blámaðr http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_people, a 
magical boar, a heathen demi-god, a demon, a brunnmigi

 Scandinavian folklore Later, in Scandinavian folklore, trolls become defined 
as a particular type of being.[6] 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll#cite_note-SIMEK335-6 Numerous tales about 
trolls are recorded, in which they are frequently described as being extremely 
old, very strong, but slow and dim-witted, and are at times described as 
man-eaters and as turning to stone upon contact with sunlight.[7] 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll#cite_note-KVEDELAND-SEHMSDORF-301-313-7 
However, trolls are also attested as looking much the same as human beings, 
without any particularly hideous appearance about them, but where they differ 
is in that they live far away from human habitation, and, unlike the rå and 
näck—who are attested as "solitary beings", trolls generally have "some form of 
social organization". Where they differ, Lindow adds, is that they are not 
Christian, and those that encounter them do not know them. Therefore trolls 
were in the end dangerous, regardless of how well they may get along with 
Christian society, and trolls display a habit of bergtagning ('kidnapping'; 
literally "mountain-taking") and overrunning a farm or estate.[8]

 While noting that the etymology of the word "troll" remains uncertain, John 
Lindow defines trolls in later Swedish folklore as "nature beings" and as 
"all-purpose otherworldly being[s], equivalent, for example, to fairies

"If I was the moderator of this group I'd put him on probation with a very
strong warning and demand an apology to the entire group and until he does I'd
limit his participation."

A good, and appropriate suggestion - Rick, what is your take, please?
Richard's suggestion makes sense, in terms of the ongoing viability of this
forum.

We warned this guy years ago about posting these kind of messages - a
double-edged sword. Anyone that has been posting as long as Barry (since 1994)
has been posting should know better. Anything can be taken out of context so
it's just much better to be friendly online and reserve off-color comments for
buddies at the bar. This was really dumb of Barry - in fact, it's one of the
dumbest comments I've ever seen on newsgroups since I started in 1999. If I was
the moderator of this group I'd put him on probation with a very strong warning
and demand an apology to the entire group and until he does I'd limit his
participation.

This was TOTALLY inappropriate for a family forum like this.
