7.6-Magnitude Quake Hits Pakistan, Afghanistan, India

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (Oct. 8) - A powerful 7.6-magnitude 
earthquake rocked South Asia on Saturday, killing at 
least 21 people and injuring hundreds in Pakistan, India 
and Afghanistan. Pakistan's army said initial reports 
indicate the damage was widespread in that country.

One of the hardest-hit areas appeared to be Kashmir, the 
Himalayan territory divided between India and Pakistan. 
Both countries reported dozens of homes damaged, along 
with some schools, mosques and office buildings.

[FairfieldLife] Well, avidyaa!

2005-10-08 Thread cardemaister

The root of the word _avidyaa_ prolly is 'vid'
(= to know). Obviously , _vidyaa_ means something
like 'knowledge', and _a-vidyaa_ is the opposite
of that, 'ignorance'. From the same root are 
e.g. words like 'veda' and 'vaidya'. 
There are some five suutras in Paatañjala-yoga-
darshanam that contain the word _avidyaa_.
 Suutra number 5 in the _saadhana-paada_
(Chapter 2) seems like the definition of _avidyaa:

(legend: z = sh in Harvard-Kyoto -convention)

anityaazuci-duHkhaanaatmasu nitya-zuci-
sukhaatmakhyaatir avidyaa

(without sandhi:
anitya; azuci; duHkha; an_aatmasu; nitya;
zuci; sukha; aatma-khyaatiH; avidyaa.)

The Sanskrit syntax of that suutra is quite "interesting":

in noneternal-impure-misery-not_self
eternal-pure-happiness-self -"knowledge" (is)
ignorance

Taimni tries to convey that in English like this:

/avidyaa/ is taking the non-eternal, impure, evil
and non-aatman to be eternal, pure, good and aatman
respectively.

The next time you see Taimni, could you ask 
him for me if he could point out something
in the universe that is non-eternal at its
most fundamental level.  Then I can start
from there when trying to determine if it
is indeed 'impure' or 'evil.'  :-)

For once, Bob and I are in perfect agreement.  The 
rest of the world perceives George W. Bush -- in my
opinion correctly -- as the almost perfect embodi-
ment of the collective consciousness of the American
people.

How to change that collective consciousness is another
story.  I'm still non-cynical enough to believe that
if more people practiced meditation and self discovery
it would have a tremendous effect.  I *am* cynical 
enough to *not* believe that a bunch of people bouncing

ing a bunch of overpriced pre-fab homes will affect it
very much.  And I am *truly* cynical enough to believe
that it may take a "wake up call" on the level of the
Great Depression Squared to shock most Americans out
of their self-involved lethargy -- politically, eco-
nomically, ecologically, and in terms of compassion
for their fellow man.

Yeah, that's a given.  I was trying to get at 
something else entirely and having trouble
articulating it.

See, we *used* to have more intelligent leaders,
even if they were bad ones.  That was why I was
comparing Bush with Nixon.

Shakespeare could have written a play about Nixon;
he's a Richard III-type character.  But Shakespeare
would never have written a play about Bush.  He just
doesn't have the *stature*.  There's more to it than
lack of intelligence (and he isn't stupid IQ-wise).
Bush doesn't have a tragic flaw; his flaws don't
rise to the level of tragedy.  Bush wouldn't even
be worth writing a history play about because he 
isn't an interesting enough personality.

For that matter, Shakespeare could have written a
play about Clinton, or Lyndon Johnson, or Kennedy,
or Eisenhower, even Jimmy Carter, or Bush I.

Bush is at the center of some of the most important
events and trends in American (and world) history.
But he's just a cipher, an *absence*.  There's no
there there.

If Shakespeare *had* to write a play about the Bush
era, the main character would have to be Karl Rove,
or perhaps Cheney; Bush would be a minor character.

That's why I say he's a mistake--it's as if the
trends of time took a detour they weren't supposed
to take and got stuck in a dead end.

[FairfieldLife] Our Inner Apes

2005-10-08 Thread authfriend
Interesting review in the NY Times of what sounds
like a very intriguing book by a primatologist.

Temple Grandin, the reviewer, is the "high-functioning"
autistic woman who has become rather well known for,
among other things, her designs for humane livestock
facilities and her advocacy for autistic people.

October 9, 2005
'Our Inner Ape': Hey Hey, We're the Monkeys 
By TEMPLE GRANDIN

Our closest genetic cousins, the apes, are capable of great empathy 
but also of violent, ruthless killing. Frans de Waal, a prominent 
primatologist, compares our social behavior with that of two species 
of apes: chimpanzees and bonobos (which look like smaller, more 
upright chimps). Despite their physical similarities, the two species 
behave very differently. Bonobos live in a relatively peaceful 
matriarchy; when conflicts do arise, instead of fighting they often 
use sexual activity to resolve them, defusing the aggression with 
friendly physical contact. Like hippies, they make love, not war. 
Chimp society, however, is a male-dominated hierarchy based on power. 
Unlike the gentle bonobos, who seldom kill, chimps will hunt for meat 
and even kill members of rival groups.

In this fascinating book, de Waal suggests that the two species 
represent sides of our own nature. We have "not one but two inner 
apes," he writes, speculating that humans may act like a hybrid of 
bonobos and chimps. (Little is known about actual bonobo-chimp 
hybrids except for a group that lives in a French traveling circus 
and strikes visitors with its "gentility and sensitivity.")...

Did anyone see it?  I resisted it all this time,
but to use up the last prepaid credits at a Paris

So far, however, it IS an interesting picture of

I believe in Vedic terminology that most fundamental

A:
Points made in this thread:

i) the leader is a reflection of the consciousness of their citizens

ii) Bush is mediocre: Bush  doesn't have *stature*, tragic flaws,
isn't worthy of a history play, isn't an interesting personality.
  
iii) Bush is at the center of some of the most important
events and trends in American (and world) history.

There is a contradiction here.

A: 
Do you know that to be absolutely true? Where would you be without
that thought?

If a leader is a reflection of the consciousness of their citizens and
Bush is mediocre -- Bush  doesn't have *stature*, tragic flaws, isn't
worthy of a history play, isn't an interesting personality, etc. then
perhaps America is getting "enlightened" and is simply less attached
to (any significance of) its imperfections, outer projections, and
returning karma. And/or Bush is simply a "method" to help culture such
an awareness in America's collective consciousness.

I don't think I said that Americans *deserve* the
Great Depression Squared in a karmic sense (although
there is certainly a case to be made for that), or
that such an event would be the result of some kind
of "Natural Law," only that an event of that magni-
tude may be what is necessary to wake them up.  
They're that far gone.  I don't think that they'll
really do anything to change things until they're
starving in the streets.

By golly, I never thought of it that way.  Heaven on

The operative word is "perhaps". And perhaps an OSF would have helped
clarify the intent of the thought. But its as substantial a theory as
any others put forth. Personally, I don't give great weight to any. By
golly.

It's probably coming. A number of probably things could trigger it, and Bush
has done a crackerjack job setting us up for it. Hard to imagine how anyone
could have done more damage in 5 years as president.

But I feel it's going to be global. Some doomsayers, whom part of me tends
to believe, predict that we're on the verge of a culling which will kill off
a majority of the world's population.

Clear to me.  Very clever.

I really wasn't proposing a theory, just trying to
describe what the present climate *feels* like--i.e.,
on the feeling level--to me, and I suspect to many
of my politically like-minded contemporaries.  It's
this huge sense of incongruity, like going after a
flea with an elephant gun, but you *have* to, because
the flea is causing such chaos and devastation.  It's
all way out of proportion.

[FairfieldLife] A message from Bevan Morris: Maharishi on cell phones

2005-10-08 Thread Rick Archer
Title: A message from Bevan Morris: Maharishi on cell phones





Dear Faculty and Ideal Administrators:

One point Maharishi mentioned during the Golden Jubilee Guru Purnima 
Celebration was to avoid cell phones because of radiation.

I would like to ask everyone to do this for the sake of your lasting good 
health.

I think we should have cell phones only as an emergency device, and not use 
them as a regular way of talking and working. Even for emergency use, it's 
best to use cell phones with speakers in them that can be held away from the 
head, or using a plastic air-tube and ear-piece, which do not contain metal 
conductors and which also allow the cell phone to be distanced from the 
head.

Cordless telephones seem to pose the same hazards as cell phones.

I realize that there is a great deal of convenience in the use of cell 
phones, and it can save critical time. But better to find a way to always 
conduct business on a land-line, not on a cell phone. Perhaps you will have 
suggestions on we can communicate with someone urgently without risking 
their brain through radiation from these phones.

I would also like to make sure that you test the area around your desk to 
see that radiation from power sources and electronic devices is not reaching 
you at dangerous levels. I am asking our Safety Director James Bedinger and 
Jefferson Aikens to provide you with guidelines and measuring instruments 
that will allow you to do this.

Wishing you perfect health and a long long life in immortality,

Jai Guru Dev

Bevan

I just checked 8196 - old news.  Go back further (in time and in 
this  group) and you will read a more nuanced (comprehensive?) view 
of Mr. Bev's sexuality. 

Latest news from Skem: "BIG" community meeting last week. Upshot: 
The locals have "permission" to seek to recreate their community 
elsewhere in England (site already identified).  The developer of 
the site (the lucky guy! - not being sexist here, just rushing), 
must give 1/3 of all profits to International, 1/3 to British 
National (i.e. to an organization that is not doing anything right 
now), and he gets to keep a 1/3 for his little old self.  As you can 
imagine, developers are coming to Skem in droves waving their Raams. 
More generally, a lot of good old British denial in Skem at the 
moment,  but what has happened is slowly sinking in. 

That's all for now, 
SAB

[FairfieldLife] Re: Poll: Groups Unhappy With Bush Performance

2005-10-08 Thread feste37
I agree with every word you write here, Judy. I was thinking a few days ago of 
how Bush seems like a Nixon figure now. The indictments are closing in and 
he is looking increasingly isolated and desperate. He is simply a man who is 
not up to the job (although that part is not like Nixon). I saw Bush talk about 
Miers yesterday. First he said she was a "fantastic woman." Then he said she 
was "honest and open." These are things you might say when giving a 
reference for someone applying for a job as a salesclerk or something, not a 
Supreme Court nominee, who should have a first-class legal mind. Bush is a 
strange aberration in our history, and the sooner we are rid of him the better.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Mel Gibson's "The Passion of Christ"

2005-10-08 Thread Bhairitu
Some friends rented it a year ago when I was vacationing with them.  We 
ripped it apart.   You get the impression that the phrase "Jesus died 
for your sins" was really aimed at the group that voted for his death.  
No there is nothing much spiritual about this film.

I saw "Serenity" this last week since I enjoyed the Firefly series on 
DVD.  It is not a particularly great movie as the director is still in 
TV phase and overstated stuff a bit but still worth a see.

I also rented "Inside Deep Throat" (not for the bliss ninny set) and 
thought it was an excellent documentary that explores the sexual 
attitudes of the 1970's.

One preview I saw with Serenity that looked interesting is AeonFlux with 
Charlize Theron:

[FairfieldLife] Re cert techers returning and Investing in FF a joke, CAFO

2005-10-08 Thread pibssmith
A local FF friend told me that many recert teachers are returning as 
they did not meet their quotas of teaching 2 people per month and 
the movement thus has not paid them. I dont know how many this is 
but I would say as a whole yet another failed project we will not 
even hear about. It will just fade away like the pundits. And if the 
peace palaces that are suppose to arrive to FF come as fast as the 
pundits yet another failed project. It is a wonder anyone would 
follow the TMO at this point I just don't get it.

On another front they  MUM someone are building 4 small SV houses in 
the parking lot in Utopia Park this and the plan to build more is in 
this weeks MUM review at all news stands in FF at all the shops. YOu 
can see the dirt being cleared. OK sounds good get rid of trailers 
build some small SV houses for anyone who wants to rent or own them 
and at $110 a ft so we know they wont be grand but Ok still OK. Then 
we get a letter today from Scott Herried heading this project up  
for MUM looking for investors to form an LLC to fund this little 
venture saying that is a demand for SV rental which may be true, is 
true. However if you are a wise person you are not investing anymore 
in FF nor buying at the moment nothing appreciates here nothing has 
even been a good investment except for a short period when there was 
a building boom but ask Doug Greenfield who is sitting on empty 
office space and now investing in Fl himself. To add to the already 
volitil market here we now have to content with CAFO  www.Jfan.org 
for those who want more info on the hogs. It is a joke invest? I 
will be happy if I can sell my house some day.

Back at the ranch I know of a couple that just bought that house on 
B St whose back yard faces the Grants near Earls for close to $399 
as the price of building the size they wanted went up to $600K and 
some others are still planning to build as they are under the 
illusion they will sell their mansions. Some are waiting to sell 
first like Huggins and other like Hurlin's are already building an 
addition on to some Abundant Ecco village house when their old house 
has not sold and probably wont for the price they want or maybe at 
any price.  Nichols think they can sell their cute house but dont 
kow where they will go but want vastu and other various people that 
cant really afford to are building $500 houses just to have vastu as 
MMY says too. I guess it is all relative if you have the money but 
this town is the riskiest investment on the planet and MUM wants to 
raise a private group of investors to build these SV houses on 
campus telling us it is a great investment. Well guess they will 
find some suckers out there. Oh and the Marcus are now trying to 
dump their house at any price as they bought the Grants. It may 
serve their needs the Grants who am I to judge but their exisitin 
house is so much nicer just not SV but it is big kids are gone and 
it is 2 stories they probably dont want it and they are pretty 
fanatical SV fans and Grants log house is one story but needed alot 
of upgrades and pardon me Rick as your sister lives on that street 
is it a dump of a neighborhood but they do it for SV go figure? what 
a town.  Even Patti Hamilton local realtor says it is amazing what 
people are giving up to have smaller not as well build SV. I am 
thinking if the hog thing goes thru the in town houses may be come 
slightly more desirable again SV or not than the country SV houses. 
This town it all depends on which way the winds blows. Pun intended.
There is a CAFO going up on Pleasant Plain right across the street 
from Cambridge's new offices. You cant really tell but the trucks 
were there this week putting in the electrical for the barbed wire. 
I guess those involved know the signs and locations. Eric  adn his 
wife and Cambridge are filing their own law suit and the home owners 
in that area are additionally filing one. I hope it stops it. The 
more we can sue and discourage this and other corporations the 
closer will be to getting this out of our town as a factor and will 
be known to others as a town they should stay away from us as  we 
are a  rich proactive town and will keep them busy in court. the 
wealthy home owners who live in the country are really in trouble 
and should be footing this bill as best they can since they have the 
money and are most affected not that we all don't want to help but 
we cant afford what they can and we don't stand to lose as much on 
property value although alot to us and equal to all in quality of 
life and health risks. It really is a big problem. It is hard to 
belive that many are so oblivious and are buying new expensive SV 
homes with this threat. I would be waiting. So many big mansions SV 
in the country will now be involved in law suits amazing.

I'm re-posting this article from the Ottumwa Courier on Jefferson 
County's hog lot (CAFO) problem, because it notes that counties used 
to have control of such operations (as Missouri counties still do), 
but the Iowa legislature moved control of hog lots from counties to 
the state in the 1990s, and there is not much any lawsuit can do to 
stop the proliferation of these lots -- only restoring control over 
the lots to the counties will do the job. That way poor counties like 
Van Buren can open their doors to hogs, and wealthier counties can 
keep hog lots out:

http://tinyurl.com/besw9

Fairfield residents vow to keep hog lot 'out of our yard' 
 
 By:ERIKA RICHARDS, Ottumwa Courier Correspondent  09/22/2005 
 
"State legislator John Whitaker, a Democrat from Hillsboro and hog 
producer, said the heart of the problem is "loss of local control."
"Counties in Missouri to our south still have local control and can 
keep the CAFO's out if they want to.  Property rights are equal to 
CAFO rights," he said.
Local control was taken away during the 1990s, he said and, "the state 
needs to retain local control once again."
Whitaker said hog prices are very good right now explaining the boom 
in hog production.

Thanks for the news. My sister says the sale of the Grant's house to the
Marcus's fell through. There are subcultures in FF which are quite oblivious
to what happens in the TM/MUM world. The university could disappear entirely
(not that I want it to) and I could be quite happy living here and have
plenty of wonderful friends. But if the pig thing gets out of hand, none of
us may want to live here but most of won't be able to afford to sell our
houses and move elsewhere. Let's hope, as you say, that the rich folks fight
the pig thing tooth and nail. They have enough money to stop it if it can be
stopped, and hopefully they have the determination.

[FairfieldLife] How much sleep do enlightened beings need?

2005-10-08 Thread Vaj
Title: How much sleep do enlightened beings need?






"One night, I wanted to see for myself how Old Khyentse slept. So I hung 
around outside his door and took an occasional peek throughout the night. 
Khyentse did not seem to go to sleep at all. But late at night he loosened 
his belt, relaxed in his seat and exhaled. Then he just sat there with 
wide-open eyes, still breathing deeply. He might have been asleep or not, 
but he didn't move for an hour, still with open eyes. Then he cleared his 
throat loudly and his breathing went back to normal. The sound was enough to 
signal his attendant to prepare morning tea. That was how Old Khyentse 
passed his nights."

I don't have a problem with the possibility that cellphones may pose 
a microwave radiation hazard, but I think Bevan is a little shaky on 
the concept: it's the transmitter/antenna that broadcasts the 
radiation, not the speakers, and it does not make any difference 
whether metal parts that are not transmitters are close to the head, 
as they would not be "conducting" the radiation:

"CellAntenna Corporation, a
leading provider of solutions that solve cellular communication 
problems,
today announced the potential health benefits of its external 
cellular antenna
products.  According to Howard Melamed, CEO of CellAntenna 
Corporation,
external cellular antennas drastically decrease the cellular phones 
level of
microwave radiation absorbed by the human body when used properly.
Studies examining the health effects of prolonged exposure to 
cellular
phone electromagnetic radiation (EMR) have been inconclusive or have 
produced
mixed results.  But the reality is that cellular phones emit 
microwave signals
that are partially absorbed by the body as users make and receive 
calls on
cellular phones.  The radiation level produced by cellular phones is
exacerbated by environmental interference and sparse cellular 
signals, as
phones are engineered to operate at full power while in areas with a 
limited
cellular signal.
Cell phone users can route the cellular radiation away by 
installing an
external antenna that connects to their cell phone via an adapter.  
The
antenna is then placed at a distance away from them.  Additionally, 
external
antennas reduce the radiation power output level of cell phones by 
helping
them relay their signals more efficiently to the nearest cellular 
towers.
Having lower power output has the added effect of lowering battery 
power
consumption and increasing talk time.

piece cord to the ear-piece at the head.  An ear-piece with an air-tube to 
the ear-piece at the head prevents the radiation from traveling up the 
wire cord and being radiated at the head.

If people think they are going to get enlightened by
living in SV houses they are complete fools. Why MMY
is shilling SV is beyond me. Realization has
absolutely nothing to do with the shape or the
orientation of the house you live in. Some effect on
"energy"? Sure, why not, but enlightenment? No way.
Enlightenment dependent on the shape and orientation
of the house you live in! It's a joke! MMY is making a

It seems so ironic that after well over 20 years of trying to establish a large 
group here in FF, we've finally managed to get the numbers we need, with the 
only problem being that they're hogs, not people.

I wish we could deter these CAFOs by using animal cruelty laws, but in Iowa 
these are weak and do not apply to livestock as long as you can argue that 
what you are doing is standard practice.

My favorite story about Dilgo Kyentse Rinpoche. It was written
years ago in the Shambala Sun.

Thomas Rich had already been appointed as Vajra Regent and
Kyentse Rinpoche was invited by Trungpa to the US.

Kyentse asked the Regent to stop by later that evening
because He wanted to say something important. It was
written that the Regent stopped by the Rinpoches room
after most people had retired. As i recall, this is how
the Regent relayed the incident.

He motioned me to come close. Leaning over He whispered
into my ear "Remember always to be kind, people are
depending on you." This was all He said that evening.

This is an example of the Ear-Whispered pith instructions

One of the most interesting stories I had heard was from someone who was on
retreat and went outside at night to relieve themselves. They saw all these
fires around Dilgo Khyentse's cabin. Occasionally they would see then coming
from inside his cabin. He mentioned this to Khyentse's wife and she said
that they were guardians which he was communicating with--and of course he
was famous for receiving and then teaching various gnostic mind treasures.

Incidentally "old Khyentse" in the original post refers to Jamyang Khyentse
Wangpo who IIRC divided his reincarnation mindstream into 25 different
emanations. Blazing Splendor is filled with stories of the dudes.

I have heard MMY say that SV housing decreases negative influences,
and makes life more prosperous etc. I don't actually remember him
saying that people are going to get enlightened by simply living in SV
houses. Do you have a quote? 

Btw (just for fun) were you living in a house when enlightenment
happened? Were most other enlightened ones also living in houses when
IT occurred? If so, there seems to be a high correlation between
housing and enlightenment. By golly, perhaps simply living in houses
will get people enlightened. 

"Correlation is not causation" you rebute. Of course its not. So what
is the Causation of Enlightenment? Nothing? 

Then why do anything, if there is no cause? Why are you not also
rejecting all tools, crutches and sadhanas? Or perhaps you are?

"No causes, only perhaps Grace" you respond -- or do you?

Increased satva perhaps? Does that set up conditions for "Grace to
descend" per your view? If so, could SV housing possibly have a direct
or indirect effect on satva?

Isn't this an old post? Like two years ago? I know he was involved with some

fair to list them like this? Who originally posted this?

[FairfieldLife] Re: A message from Bevan Morris: Maharishi on cell phones

2005-10-08 Thread sparaig
Lest anyone think this is more paranoid thinking, keep in mind that 
the Motorola engineer who was testing the first prototype DID die of 
a brain tumor on the same side of his head that he held the phone on. 
Motorola then dropped the power output drastically to the point that 
its difficult if impossible to establish a correlation between cell 
phone use and brain cancer.

HOWEVER, brain imaging of people while they are using cell phones 
show that there is a clear effect on brain functioning, at least 
close to the ear that the phone is next to. In young kids (4 or so 
years or younger), the effect goes at least halfway through their 
brain.

No-one knows exactly what this kind of electronnic radiation does to 
the brain, if anything, but I avoid cell phones use though I *will* 
talk to someone for a minute if they ask to talk to me on one.

Any metal part that is electrically connected to the rest of the

Eating healthy food has an effect on enlightenment's progression, 
assuming that there is a physiological component, of course. Your 
home/work environment should have an effect as well.

I don't think that sv is the thing to have highest on the list of 
priorities, but since it is a passive, 24/7 effect (should it exist), 
its the easiest to continue to engage in (you just live in the SV-
compliant home/office and that aspect of your environment is taken 
care of automatically) and perhaps it would facilitate everything 
else.

If that is true (and I am not seeing any evidence that it is), it 
would be at minimal power level, certainly not anywhere near 
approaching the power output of the antenna itself. People walk 
through a maze of minimal electromagnetic output all day long, 
TV/Radio signals, etc, so these minimal outputs are surely not a 
problem like an antenna close to one's head might pose.
