Re: [FairfieldLife] Time for Meditation

Seems like this quip is using a blanket spiritual putdown on some quite experienced meditators who would continue to sit in meditation. Quite evidently though even the awakened continue to meditate. Yes, like calling on taxis that take you further on. Rick has a good conversation on

Well, one could make a thesis that the general lack of human contact with domesticated large mammals in the post-modern era is an exacerbating element in the evident current of incivility in humanity. Having the opportunity to compose ones self to be successful around large mammals is always

Re: [FairfieldLife] Time for Meditation

Meditation is like taking a taxi to get somewhere. Once you're there you don't need the taxi anymore. Same with meditation, once you have the transcendent on demand you don't need to call a taxi. This happens with some people but apparently not all? On 01/11/2016 11:51 AM,

How will we all keep busy when we only have to work 15 hours a week? That was the question that worried the economist John Maynard Keynes when he wrote his short essay “Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren http://www.econ.yale.edu/smith/econ116a/keynes1.pdf” in 1930. ---In

Re: [FairfieldLife] Time for Meditation

Nearly a century ago, economist John Maynard Keynes predicted that American productivity and the age of abundance would mean less toil for workers. And until the 1970s, the average workweek was shrinking. Why Do Americans Work So Much?

In 1930 the average workweek was 47 hours. By 1970 it had fallen to slightly less than 39. How will we all keep busy when we only have to work 15 hours a week? The Dome doors open for meditation at 7am in Fairfield, Iowa. -JaiGuruYou!

Of course work is not the purpose of life. That was an industrial age piece of propaganda to keep the chickens busy. There are lots of things to do other than work. On 01/10/2016 05:07 AM, dhamiltony...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife] wrote: In 1930 the average workweek was 47 hours. By 1970 it

As a salaried employee, this was much more my experience(40 to 60, but paid for 40). The "40-Hour" Workweek Is Actually Longer -- by Seven Hours http://www.gallup.com/poll/175286/hour-workweek-actually-longer-seven-hours.aspx

Re: [FairfieldLife] Time for Meditation

Some places, like tech companies, employees feel it it as "badge of honor" to put in long hours. My boss said it was probably more a sign of incompetence. And HP study back in the 1990s showed that working anymore than 50 hours a week was counter productive. I knew someone who worked at
