done with Wiki footnotes?
 
 Almost all of the books cited in my posts I either have in my collection, have 
read from library books, or they are on order. At one time, I owned over 5,000 
books in two states and in three cities. These days I have only a small 
collection with me out in the laundry room. Sometimes I re-read them - they are 
that good.
 
 So, I can get most any book I need through the inter-library loan system at my 
local library in about a week. I have about 10,00 pages that I xeroxed from my 
old collection that I am digitizing for computer use. I have been taking 
copious notes for my book which I have been writing since 1999, soon to be 
self-published.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Mahamantra, by Krishna Das

[Richard Williams]

I am glad to hear that you are listening to the great bhajans sung by my
old pal Krishna Das. He is indeed an amazing artist.

Speaking of Das, you might recall from one of my previous post that several
of us became students of Neem Karoli Baba in the late sixties. My old pal
Bhagavan Das and I visited the Baba shortly after we departed Rishikesh.
Later, Bhagavan Das introduced Richard Alpert to the Baba, and Alpert
became Ram Das, who wrote "Be Here Now."

Jeffrey Miller became Surya Das about this time. Another pal of mine from
Texas, Charan Das, also has many interesting observations concerning the
Baba. If you are interested in learning more about the type of Bhajan
chanting in this tradition you might consider reading the book by Bhagavan
Das called "It's Here Now. Are You?" in which Bhagavan Das (Michael Riggs)
relates some amazing experiencies on his journeys in India. Surya Das has
several books in print and you can read about Charan Das, the 'Sadhu from
Texas' by Anne Cushman, at Salon.

"The book is an intriguing portrait of what it was like to be right in the
middle of it. The real gurus, the fake gurus, the zealous devotees, the
drugs, the sex, the confusion.

In India he studied with several famous teachers and when he gets back to
America, Allen Ginsberg, Alan Watts (who was apparently a notorious drunk!)
and Ram Dass, among others are constantly floating in and out of his life.
It is also an interesting to see how he dealt with his unwanted fame..."

Around that age (1955) I was living in England and attending the

I remember visiting nearby Maiden Castle and a little later, Stonehenge.

"Sabre Dance" is a movement in the final act of the ballet Gayane (1942) by
Aram Khachaturian. It is considered Khachaturian's most famous work. It is
based on Armenian folk music, especially its middle section."

"Aram Khachaturian was a Soviet Armenian composer. Alongside Sergei
Prokofiev and Dmitri Shostakovich, Khachaturian is sometimes called one of
the three 'titans' of Soviet music. He is also considered 'one of the major
musicians' of the 20th century."

[FairfieldLife] Alan Turing gets a posthumous pardon

[s3raphita]

From The Telegraph:
 "Alan Turing, the brilliant wartime codebreaker, has been granted a posthumous 
pardon by the Queen for his criminal conviction for homosexuality.

 Dr Turing, who helped Britain to win World War II, killed himself after 
receiving the conviction in 1952.

 He has now been granted a pardon under the Royal Prerogative of Mercy after a 
high-profile campaign supported by tens of thousands of people including 
Professor Stephen Hawking."
 There's always something a bit silly about these stories. You know, like the 
Pope forgiving Galileo. How far back do you go? But what I find particularly 
odd about this story is why didn't they pardon *everyone* who was convicted of 
being a homosexual? Why single out the celebrity?

[FairfieldLife] RE: Five, six, and seven for Feste

[authfriend]

None of you know wtf you are talking about except Judy and I know plenty to 
know this is a fact. Robin was never serious on this forum about "attacking" or 
denigrating or questioning Judy. Whoever thought this was so is either 
ironically-challenged (and we already know who those people are), or stubborn 
or simply dense. To pursue this useless topic is to only make those who assert 
his animosity toward Judy actually existed look terminally lame-brained. Feste, 
Ricky, surely you two have better things to do than continue to make yourselves 
look small and mean and boring. Don't you? I mean Feste, are you really this 
small in real life?( I already know Ricky is off his proverbial rocker and 
probably lives in a room wallpapered with FFL transcripts and 25 humming 
computers.)

 

 Nobody who actually reads those posts could assert with a straight face that 
they were anything but ironic. I mean, just the fact that Robin was claiming to 
have switched his allegiance from me to Barry tells you he wasn't serious. 
Feste knows that perfectly well; his pretended ignorance could hardly reflect 
worse on him. We expect that kind of nonsense from Richard, but it's sad to see 
Feste succumbing to it.

 Yes, yes, I was a member of this "club" and received these little floppy 45's 
every Christmas. Unfortunately I don't appear to have kept any of them. There 
were also all sorts of little memorabilia that came with it. I also remember 
they had my last name wrong. Instead of 'Woelfle' it came addressed to "Ann

 None of you know wtf you are talking about except Judy and I know plenty to 
know this is a fact. Robin was never serious on this forum about "attacking" or 
denigrating or questioning Judy. Whoever thought this was so is either 
ironically-challenged (and we already know who those people are), or stubborn 
or simply dense. To pursue this useless topic is to only make those who assert 
his animosity toward Judy actually existed look terminally lame-brained. Feste,

Richard, it's hard to believe you could make any more of a jackass of yourself 
than you already have, but by golly, you've just done it.
 

 Robin did, in fact, post lots of gags. Apparently you didn't get any of them. 
He didn't announce the gags as such because it never occurred to him that 
anybody would be so dimwitted as to take them seriously. In your case, 
obviously, he was wrong.
 

 This post of yours is the biggest RichardFail of all, and boy, that's saying 
something.
 

 

 << You can call it "fun" or you can call it whatever you want, but it was

 The whole thing was a gag, Richard, a lark. Robin and I had become good 
friends by that time and remained so as long as he was on FFL.
 Robin does not lie or post gags, Judy. He's probably the most truthful person 
to ever post to FFL. I read everything he posted and a few of his little books 
as well. Apparently you just didn't get it, or don't want to. Read it again and 
maybe you'll understand what he was saying. 
 
 Robin did not say it was a gag or a lark. If it was, it would have been the

> So what was M.'s beef with Om.?
Traditionally in India, women do not chant or meditate on the OM 
syllable - it's usually reserved for renunciates. The OM syllable is not 
really a bija mantra, except by courtesy only, as it were, according to 
Swami Ageananda Bharati. MMY only recommends householder bija mantras 
for meditation. In TM you only get one single bija mantra - the mantra 
of your istadevata. For example, OM isn't included in the maha-mantra of 
the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition founded by Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati.

And, hardly anybody on the planet meditates on just the OM syllable 
anyway - that's something a dilettante would do after reading about it 
in a popular book, rather than a serious seeker studying under a 
qualified teacher. OM is really just a place holder symbol for the 
actual bija mantra given at initiation. OM is more like a salutation 
such as "Hail!"used at the beginning of a prayer or mystic chant, like 
in the Vedas.

Most you people lurking here and a lot posting here on FFL  I git the 
impression don't live anywhere close to Fairfield, Iowa and it seems a number 
of you don't even meditate.   There is a fabulous lecture on  the Greeks and 
the Veda you can listen to vicariously to give you some feeling as to what we 
are doing here as a meditating community. It is a good lecture that connects 
and does unifies in context a lot of what is going on here really. Anybody on 
Fairfieldlife really ought to listen to this lecture to really be able to 
participate with much of anything to say on Fairfieldlife. It would improve the 
group a lot if we were all on one page at least about certain things and not 
just dumping any ignorant stuff here on this forum.

I should recommend you all listen  to this distinguished lecture  for the good 
of the community here.   Listen to it clear through.   It is an mp3 and would 
be good for you and the group here:

The original idea for the show was to feature rednecks and laugh at them

Pictures at an Exhibition - Vienna Philharmonic, Valery Gergiev,
http://youtu.be/fiv2i-25wZ8

Modest Mussorgsky:

"Russian composer, one of the group known as "The Five". He was an
innovator of Russian music in the romantic period. He strove to achieve a
uniquely Russian musical identity, often in deliberate defiance of the
established conventions of Western music.

Many of his works were inspired by Russian history, Russian folklore, and
other nationalist themes. Such works include the opera Boris Godunov, the
orchestral tone poem Night on Bald Mountain, and the piano suite Pictures
at an Exhibition."

Almost all of the books cited in my posts I either have in my

Sometimes I re-read them - they are that good.


So, I can get most any book I need through the inter-library loan system

xeroxed from my old collection that I am digitizing for computer use. I 
have been taking copious notes for my book which I have been writing

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: What People Wear

[Richard J. Williams]

One of the most popular urban camouflage outfits around Austin is a 
black T-shirt and some black pants and shoes. This works very well at 
night, whether in the city or in the country. Black T-shirts look good 
with denims too, and when you're sitting at a table at a cafe, people 
only see your top half, so they don't know if you have on black pants or 
not.


The only real big decisions are long sleeve or short sleeve black 
T-shirt? Or, pocket T or no pocket? With a pocket T you carry your cell 
phone in an easy to access place, so the phone is always available with 
a  quick grab. Other people just like to have their phone on the table 
out in plain sight. Go figure.


Over in France, I have read that artists who wear black sweaters are 
very fond of what we call over here "Pierre hats" - I saw one at Paris 
Hatters in downtown San Antonio. Another thing people around here like 
to wear are baseball caps - but every time I see a guy wearing one on 
backwards, I think it looks really stupid. But, that's just me.

 Here's a translation to show what he was really talking about. Makes a lot 
more sense, doesn't it?
 Trying my best to speak generically, Share, I think you'll find that this is a 
quality shared by Mean Girls like you and me everywhere, not just on this 
forum. If I were to pass along the occult view of the 'dynamic' in place in 
such interactions, it would go sorta like this. 

Mean Girls (of any type, or sex) feed on Attention. I am hooked on it in the 
same way that smack addicts are hooked on heroin. And when I see someone 
getting more Attention than I am (or, let's face it on this forum, any 
Attention at all), I get pissed off at those who are attracting the Attention 
because it's "Mine, damnit." If one could auto-color posts according to 
psychosis, the posts from me would consistently be green, for jealousy.  :-)

So anyway, wannabe occultists like me see someone else getting the Attention 
that I seek, so I Can't Have That. I have to combat that somehow. My most 
common tactic -- Stage One, as it were -- is to try to attack the person who is 
getting more attention directly, *to make them feel bad, and lose their 
self-confidence*. This first psychic attack is intended to weaken them. 

If it doesn't work, I move on to Stage Two, which involves trying to make the 
other people in the immediate environment see the person who they're paying 
attention to as flawed or broken, as 'less than themselves.' This is the Stage 
in which I usually pull out all the stops. I'll say anything I can think of 
about the person I'm trying to demonize, because the Whole Purpose is *to* 
demonize them. Since I *obviously* can't compete on equal ground and gain a 
similar measure of Attention, I attempt to discredit the ones who are getting 
more Attention than I am, in the hopes that it will shift back to me.

So *naturally* I focus on what I perceive as their mistakes or faults. *My* 
whole act is about pretending that I don't have any. So if you do, *you* are 
not worth paying Attention to, and I am. 

Yeah, right. 

This is such an old, tired act on the Internet that it amazes me that people 
still fall for it. But they do. 

Bottom line from my POV is that *if* people do, and *if* they write me off 
because of what a few people say about me, they really aren't worth having in 
my sphere of influence, are they?

Great, but what about the Prairie Home Companion? That show is almost 
pure country. Do they have radio stations up there?


On our trips up to see Dad, we used to listen to satellite radio in our 
car, but the rent is too damn high, so we listen to NPR out of Austin 
all the way to Lampasas. After that, we have to switch to our iPod 
plugged into the radio until we can tune a Dallas station.


The last time I drove up to Fairfield, back in 2000, I took I-35 North 
and turned right on Highway 34. We are thinking about visiting friends 
in Deadwood SD, and Woodland, CA, on our way to visit my daughter in

[FairfieldLife] Fliegenpilz!

[Richard Williams]

According to the Bible, wise men came bearing gifts of gold, frankincense
and myrrh. The Bible doesn't say how many wise men or how many gifts.The
Bible doesn't say where the wise came from.

Gift giving may be a universal practice, but in Europe and thus in the
Americas, it's all about the shaman, old "Saint Nick", and the
Indo-European cult of Mithras. The 'Santa Clause' we see today evolved from
Shamanic traditions developed in ancient Gaul and Siberia.

Everyone knows that the 'Weihnactsmann' was an amalgam of Thor and Donner.
Saint Nick as Thor flies through the skies in his chariot, vis-a-vis the
Big Dipper, circling the North Star in a 24-hour period, and throws his
mighty hammer down to the ground in order to create lightning. Closely
associated with the legend of the Northern Shaman is the classical form of
ecstatic practice.

The word shaman means 'to know' in the Tunga language, associated with the
Fly Agaric or Amanita muscaria, the magic mushroom of immortality. The use
of Amanita was practiced by groups all across the northern Eurasia,
especially eastern Siberia. There is evidence in rock cave art from 4,000
BC and  Christian Ratsch has indicated that there is some evidence that
those who used prehistoric drinking vessels as 'beakers' took Fly Agaric in
a ritual, cultic context.

[image: Inline image 1]

There is an old nursery rhyme:

"He has of purple pure
A mantle around him.
Say, who may the manikin be
Who stands there on one leg?

Fliegenpilz!"

The reindeer of the remote northern wastes had a hankering for the magic
mushroom Amanita muscaria too! When they ate it, they became intoxicated
and their nose turned red. The Amanita, mushrooms with a red cap and
fluffy, flaked, white covering, are found in abundance all over northern
Europe, under the cedar trees, usually just after a rain.

In Siberian lands mushrooms of the genus Amanita are gathered in baskets
and strung over the hearth for drying, just like we now string popcorn.

Not for nothing do we erect cedar or pine trees in our living rooms and
place presents all around, wrapped in red and white!

 You should look into the works of Carlos Castaneda. He may have been a 
charlatan, but a case can be made that everyone else people cite on this forum 
as an authority is, too. :-) Charlatans or not, they occasionally said things 
one can learn from. 

In Carlos' case, the pieces of his philosophy you might wanna look into have to 
do with his characterization of the Petty Tyrant. They're pretty much "required 
reading" if one wants to survive on the Internet. 

 In the strategic inventories of warriors, self-importance figures as the 
activity that consumes the greatest amount of energy, hence, their effort to 
eradicate it.
  One of the first concerns of warriors is to free that energy in order to 
face the unknown with it. The action of rechanneling that energy is 
impeccability.
  The most effective strategy for rechanneling that energy consists of six 
elements that interplay with one another. Five of them are called the 
attributes of warriorship: control, discipline, forbearance, timing, and will . 
They pertain to the world of the warrior who is fighting to lose 
self-importance. The sixth element, which is perhaps the most important of all, 
pertains to the outside world and is called the petty tyrant.
  A petty tyrant is a tormentor. Someone who either holds the power of life 
and death over warriors or simply annoys them to distraction.
  Petty tyrants teach us detachment. The ingredients of the new seers' 
strategy shows how efficient and clever is the device of using a petty tyrant. 
The strategy not only gets rid of self-importance; it also prepares warriors

The man had been at a business holiday party and threatened two fellow

The girlfriend escorted the guests out of the house and when she returned to

Re: [FairfieldLife] Get Your Ducks in a Row

The latest I heard today was that Phil Robertson is sticking by his *guns*, 
saying that he *only quoted the Bible*, LOL!  Here is the crux of the problem, 
He did not quote, rather paraphrased( to the best of his ability, maybe) and 
added vulgar comment and disparaging remarks which most, if not all, television 
programming refuses to air out of good taste or legal reasons. But Phil 
believes he is being attacked for his religious beliefs and his freedom of 
speech is being attacked. It's not his religious beliefs under attack, it's his 
attitude , and the vulgar way he expresses that attitude that is criticized and 
then he hides behind his religion to justify his comments. Phil can not be 
prosecuted for what he said because *congress shall make not law abridging his 
freedom of speech*. However, go into work today and call your boss a MFer and 
just sees what happens , LOL! We are all free to say what we want without fear 
of prosecution but not free of
 the social consequences there after .Your government will not prosecute you 
but your peers may judge you. Cracker Barrel is caught between a rock and a

 And just for giggles, here are Feste's comments on #301020 above:
 

 Gosh, golly. This is serious stuff. It is shaping up as a Shakespearean play, 
a clash of "mighty opposites." The next scene should be good. The audience must 
already be pondering the mysterious revelation below that authfriend has been 
working with MZ for 17 YEARS behind the scenes to discredit Barry. Can it be 
so? Really? And who, we absolutely must know, are the equally mysterious 
"masters" that MZ serves? And what about the capitalized "Others" for whom 
authfriend declares she is working? Who on earth might they be?

And I thought all this time that FFL was just an Internet chat forum. Now I see 
it is a cloak-and-dagger tale of mighty forces, shifting alliances, outrageous 
betrayals, and turbulent passions. Perhaps there is a playwright behind all 
this, who is actually plotting a way for the reviled poster from Holland to 
regain lost ground and reign supreme, his enemies confounded and at his mercy. 
Will he choose magnanimity or revenge? We shall find out.

*/You, too, Richard. Truth be told, I have fewer issues with the 
holiday than I do with the cult that invented it. I like the lights, 
the colors, the decorations, and the feeling of giving that sneaks 
through the cracks no matter how degraded and commercial the holiday 
gets.


Christmastime is a little less commercial here in the Netherlands, 
BTW. Possibly it's because the Dutch are frugal, with a capital Cheap, 
and thus don't shop as much, period. But they certainly don't seem to 
go as crazy as Americans when it comes to "Christmas shopping." The 
very *concept* of a "Black Friday" would cause them to laugh.


The lines in stores -- even TOY stores -- are short and well-behaved, 
and many of the merchants get into the spirit of giving (as a kind of 
tax-writeoff loss leader, of course) by giving away free coffee, tea, 
pastries, treats, and other goodies to shoppers. I could walk the 
length of our main shopping drag Haarlemerstraat today, sample each 
store's freebies, and come away feeling as full as if I'd eaten a full 
meal.


And, whether its forced or artificial or merely the result of 
media/culture subliminal suggestions, most people ARE more friendly 
this time of year IMO. If you'd like to attribute all that to Baby 
Jesus, I don't have any problem with that. Me, I tend to attribute it 
to a yearly holiday that pretty much everyone looks forward to because 
it's a holiday, dummy. It's an excuse to celebrate, and be with 
friends and family. What's not to like about that?


BTW, as one of the only comments I'll make to some of the incredibly 
bigoted and Islamophobic shit being posted here recently (clearly by 
those who have never lived in largely Islamic neighborhoods surrounded 
by Islamic people), some of the best and most bountiful free feasts 
along Haarlemerstraat are in the shops owned by Muslims. They get off 
on the holiday period, too.


I suspect one could even be a meth dealer and like Christmas...  :-)

Trying my best to speak generically, Share, I think you'll find that
this is a quality shared by Mean Girls everywhere, not just on this
forum. If I were to pass along the occult view of the 'dynamic' in place
in such interactions, it would go sorta like this.

Mean Girls (of any type, or sex) feed on Attention. They are hooked on
it in the same way that smack addicts are hooked on heroin. And when
they see someone getting more Attention than they are (or, let's face it
on this forum, any Attention at all), they get pissed off at those who
are attracting the Attention because it's "Ours, damnit." If one could
auto-color posts according to psychosis, the posts from Mean Girls would
consistently be green, for jealousy.  :-)

So anyway, these wannabe occultists see someone else getting the
Attention that they seek, so they Can't Have That. They have to combat
that somehow. The most common tactic -- Stage One, as it were -- is to
try to attack the person who is getting more attention directly, *to
make them feel bad, and lose their self-confidence*. This first psychic
attack is intended to weaken them.

If it doesn't work, they move on to Stage Two, which involves trying to
make the other people in the immediate environment see the person who
they're paying attention to as flawed or broken, as 'less than
themselves.' This is the Stage in which the Mean Girls usually pull out
all the stops. They'll say anything they can think of about the person
they're trying to demonize, because the Whole Purpose is *to* demonize
them. Since they *obviously* can't compete on equal ground and gain a
similar measure of Attention, they attempt to discredit the ones who are
getting more Attention than they are, in the hopes that it will shift
back to them.

So *naturally* such people focus on what they perceive as your mistakes
or faults. *Their* whole act is about pretending that they don't have
any. So if you do, *you* are not worth paying Attention to, and they
are.

Yeah, right.

This is such an old, tired act on the Internet that it amazes me that
people still fall for it. But they do.

Bottom line from my POV is that *if* people do, and *if* they write you
off because of what a few Mean Girls say about you, they really aren't
worth having in your sphere of influence, are they?

> Actually I just realized something: it's probably healthier to have

You should look into the works of Carlos Castaneda. He may have been a
charlatan, but a case can be made that everyone else people cite on this
forum as an authority is, too. :-) Charlatans or not, they occasionally
said things one can learn from.

In Carlos' case, the pieces of his philosophy you might wanna look into
have to do with his characterization of the Petty Tyrant. They're pretty
much "required reading" if one wants to survive on the Internet.

In the strategic inventories of warriors, self-importance figures as the
activity that consumes the greatest amount of energy, hence, their
effort to eradicate it.
One of the first concerns of warriors is to free that energy in
order to face the unknown with it. The action of rechanneling that
energy is impeccability.
The most effective strategy for rechanneling that energy consists
of six elements that interplay with one another. Five of them are called
the attributes of warriorship: control, discipline, forbearance, timing,
and will . They pertain to the world of the warrior who is fighting to
lose self-importance. The sixth element, which is perhaps the most
important of all, pertains to the outside world and is called the petty
tyrant.
A petty tyrant is a tormentor. Someone who either holds the power
of life and death over warriors or simply annoys them to distraction.
Petty tyrants teach us detachment. The ingredients of the new
seers' strategy shows how efficient and clever is the device of using a
petty tyrant. The strategy not only gets rid of self-importance; it also
prepares warriors for the final realization that impeccability is the
only thing that counts in the path of knowledge.

Good point, Share. I mean, how is outwear designed to make you look like
a pile of leaves gonna fit in and fade into the background in the
*city*, ferchrissakes? I got curious, so I Google-Imaged "urban camo"
and got these:

camo paint themes on a few pickup trucks. Go figure.

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: for Emily & Bob, to thank Richard, Share finally replies about Ann's tree photo

Richard, I'm pretty sure this is a specialty of the MGC. If they think of you 
as the enemy, they ignore what's good about you and focus on your mistakes or 
flaws which of course we all have. Actually I just realized something: it's 
probably healthier to have them as enemies than as friends!

Maybe you forgot this advice from Emily to Share:

"HAVE A MARVELOUS FUCKING DAY SHARE."

Richard, that would be fun to meet at Revs in person. It it the FF *in* spot. 
You might even spot Oprah or David Lynch there. Only kidding! I think Oprah 
went to Cafe Paradiso which is just down the street. Maybe we could all dress 
in Duck Dynasty outfits too. That'll give the TMers something to meditate on!

PS I agree with you that FFLers are probably nicer in person.

[FairfieldLife] RE: Understanding Homosexuality

[wgm4u]

Those who persecute gays don't follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, who taught 
us to love our fellow man and woman, "let him who has not sinned cast the first 
stone".

 Important point. The suicide rate for gay teens is still disproportionately 
high. It's a lot harder for gay teens to "come to terms with where they're at" 
because of a lack of understanding of homosexuality among their peers. Any teen 
who is perceived to be different is likely to be persecuted by his or her 
classmates, and that's going to leave scars for even the best-adjusted gay 
adults.
