It can be assumed that transcendental consciousness can be maintained while sleepwalking. But I don't remember MMY mentioning sleepwalking in his writings. What do you think? Teen Awakes From Sleepwalking 9 Miles From Home, Police Say

[FairfieldLife] Relaxation - a modern obsession

BBC article on the rise of concerns about relaxation in the modern age. MMY and Herbert Benson both get mentions. I liked this quote: In 1966 a young psychiatrist at Harvard named Lee Birk undertook an extraordinary experiment. Birk allowed himself to be administered a dose of curare,

You are a man of preconceived notions. For a bhogi like you, that is revealing. Maybe you should re-read Vyasa's commentary on the Sun sutra. It is all about Bhu-mandala. But of course, you don't read about such things 'cause yer just a bhogi. Too bad. If you had seen what I have seen in

Re "in Western culture there’s a common experience of self-judgment and self-hatred that will arise for people when they’re doing spiritual practice—an unworthiness that will arise": That wouldn't be my problem! Sounds like a version of that self-loathing that infects those attracted to

Ben is a joke. A laugh a minute. An ignoramus (brain surgery credentials notwithstanding) running for president. And he is the Republican "front-runner"? It is all very hard to believe. One is left to puzzle out how and why and when ignorance became a valuable political asset. Perhaps people

According to Michio Kaku, the ETs may be too advanced for us and they don't want to bother with us. IMO, if they do, those types of ETs will have intent of conquest over us, as Stephen Hawking fears. Dr. Michio Kaku on Why Aliens May Exist, But Aren't Landing on the White House Lawn

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Fw: Krauthammer on the Clinton Foundation

Ohhh, Mike, you're smarter than this, better than this. The vast majority of Saletan's sources are from the public record--e.g., video of Clinton's public remarks, text of her public statements. You can watch and read them for yourself. Nowhere does she blame the attack on just the video,
