 We do have a bunch of people here in Fairfield, Iowa who work at meditating,

meditation.   It is about 80 people who are still paid to be meditating in the 
long meditations daily, morning and evening, in the group meditation here.  The 
‘stipend’ is about $800 per month per person now. 

 

 Now that's my idea of personal hell. LOL, you'd have to tie me down and

people would hardly have to work. But that isn’t exactly how things have play...

 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 Microsoft who was 
"salaried" (in California it's called "exempted") and if it took him one day to 
finish his part of the project for the week then it was okay for him not to 
come in the rest of the week.  Computer programming is more like working on a 
piece of art and productivity comes in spurts not 9 to 5.

 Further than the USA? Like British Columbia, Canada?
 I've had my share of foreign travel, starting as a kid and it wasn't limited 
to *white European* culture. I've also done more than *reading* about other 
cultures as well.
  I've explored other religions, and disciplines that would be considered 
foreign to our own here in the US. My involvement in  TM and the experiences I 
had with it  alone have given me different perspectives on life and my 
appreciation for it. I've enjoyed numerous friendships with individuals of 
foreign cultures and other religions as well.
You ask if I can conceive of Muslims not wanting to rape my sister or wanting 
to cut my head off. Of course! I'm simply against opening the flood gates of 
immigration to *any* people without knowing more about them personally and 
their true intentions and what motivates them to want to immigrate here.

I think you will never know this. You can only know, generally, what forces are 
at work when large groups of people find a need to move to another country. In 
this case of Syria, is it pretty obvious what the overriding impetus is. But 
you can, as an individual, never know all of it so give that idea up. 


 Quite frankly, I'm against letting anyone immigrate here that doesn't have 
something of value to offer and make our country better and I don't mean of 
cultural value. The times of *give me your huddled masses and your poor* is 
over. We didn't have a welfare state when that was practiced.

Hold on, hold on. Many of these refugees are working people, people who are 
dentists, doctors, teachers, carpenters, mothers and students. These are people 
like any other - who came from a life of productivity, family and personal 
history. Who are you to judge let alone predict they are all coming here to 
live off the state? Preposterous. 

 The United States can not be a dumping ground for the world's malcontents,poor 
and oppressed.

"Dumping ground" is pretty harsh. This implies all those would be immigrants 
coming to the US are trash, refuse.

 We have limited resources and already are twenty trillion + in debt. And we 
definitely don't need immigrants that would rather not assimilate.

Again, you're projecting here. And I just have to wonder how inflexible someone 
has to be to assume the world must "assimilate" all that you think of as 
"American". To what degree do you feel capable of "assimilating" new foods, 
dress and culture in "your" country? What is "American" food anyway? Pizza? 
Sushi? Wienerschnitzel?


 Every country has their own unique culture.

Plase! Cultures are never static, they don't just exist out of the ether. 
They evolve, they change - all the time. "Unique" is not homogeneous nor 
impervious to all sorts of influences that continually change the nature of 
what is "unique" about it.

That is what unites them and  makes them a *people* and a country. The United 
States is the *great melting pot* where the *many become the ONE*. We aren't 
the frozen food section.

Huh? The great "melting pot" that is now some inviolable, static entity? You 
seem to want it to become "the frozen food section" by limiting the outside 
influences. You can't. It is impossible - especially now with the internet and 
the ability for people to travel anywhere in the world within hours.


  One thing that I've always shared with others that liked to travel was that 
there's nothing like coming home and I want to keep it that way. If you want to 
travel and see other people and places , fine but you need to have something to 
come home to.

Yoicks, interesting.

 But, really it's about traveling further in one's mind and heart and being 
able to leave behind the overriding fear or suspicion. It's about moving past 
the known -willingly and with courage. It is about traveling to a place in 
yourself where you can trust that which is strange or unknown. Have I traveled 
all of those places? No. I merely posted Twain's quote because it is also 
relevant in its literal sense. Reading about others, their culture, their 
religion, their beliefs is often very different from living among them, working 
with them, speaking face to face. But that is an obvious statement. Can you not 
conceive of the possibility that just because someone is Muslim that they are 
not interested in raping your sister or cutting off your head? Can you not 
consider the likelihood that 95% of immigrants coming to "your" country have no 
interest in doing anything except surviving? Is it beyond your scope to imagine 
that

 I love to get you going, Emptypants. You are so easy to incite. I can do it 
with my eyes closed (or is that too much like meditation, God forbid? LOL). 
Forgive me, I am not worthy but I am im -po-tent.
 

 My golly gosh, Pants, you are fun to razz. Do I get you going? Do you feel 
compelled to follow my every post? Driven by your nature to respond? I'm having 
fun, are you? I have fun with almost everything, that's the way of it, you'll 
see - one day. Have you watched that video of David Bowie's "Lazarus" I believe 
it's called. It's pretty good. Take a look. You might figure something out, 
something deep and im-po-tent. But don't take my fraudulent word for it, see 
for yourself.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-JqH1M4Ya8

 Now, that book there. It is pretty interesting. All those people in that small 
house at Sunnyside having dinners and chatting, getting confronted, figuring 
stuff out. It was before my time but what a time it appeared to be. It was a 
journey alright. It didn't involve dusty books and learning words like 'bhogi' 
and stuff but they did have some rolicking times, way back then in the 70's in 
Victoria, BC. The names were changed to protect the innocent but I met them 
all. Pretty Canadian, the lot of them. Polite, proper but they went on a roller 
coaster ride. Most came out the other side to tell the story. But, you prefer 
moldy tomes, musty words of wisdom and bantering about this school of thought 
and that. You wouldn't have liked being around Robin, you would have had your 
nose bloodied and your knees skinned. It would have been all a bit rough and 
tumble for nerds like yourself. Now go put your jammies on and perhaps someone 
nice will come and tuck you in. Nighty night!

 Oh my dear Emily, I don't think The Pants would care to associate himself with 
TM. He was made for bigger meditations. You see, he knows it all. And I mean 
every last bit of it. For a bubble headed bleached blond I can at least 
recognize this. But yes, he seems to have failed somewhere along the way. 
Perhaps the hair shirts weren't hairy enough or the whips quite lashy enough, 
the bed of nails too dull. Maybe next time around he'll get it right. I'm not 
sure how much time he has left in this body of his but he better hurry up or 
he's going to miss the boat completely this time around. I do believe he has a 
dislike of the fairer sex (if I am allowed to mention 'sex' and 'Pants' in the 
same sentence, which I think is unlikely). 
 

 I do appreciate your concern. We smart women need to stick together. I know 
you have my back and I thank you for it. You're a great ally.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Time for Meditation

[Bhairitu noozg...@sbcglobal.net [FairfieldLife]]

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?

We do have a bunch of people here in Fairfield, Iowa who work at 
meditating, who are ‘paid’ in income support to meditate long hours in 
the group meditation.   It is about 80 people who are still paid to be 
meditating in the long meditations daily, morning and evening, in the 
group meditation here.  The ‘stipend’ is about $800 per month per 
person now.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Some of You Evidently Need to Get Out More

[Mike Dixon mdixon.6...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

Further than the USA? Like British Columbia, Canada?I've had my share of 
foreign travel, starting as a kid and it wasn't limited to *white European* 
culture. I've also done more than *reading* about other cultures as well. I've 
explored other religions, and disciplines that would be considered foreign to 
our own here in the US. My involvement in  TM and the experiences I had with it 
 alone have given me different perspectives on life and my appreciation for it. 
I've enjoyed numerous friendships with individuals of foreign cultures and 
other religions as well.
You ask if I can conceive of Muslims not wanting to rape my sister or wanting 
to cut my head off. Of course! I'm simply against opening the flood gates of 
immigration to *any* people without knowing more about them personally and 
their true intentions and what motivates them to want to immigrate here.Quite 
frankly, I'm against letting anyone immigrate here that doesn't have something 
of value to offer and make our country better and I don't mean of cultural 
value. The times of *give me your huddled masses and your poor* is over. We 
didn't have a welfare state when that was practiced. The United States can not 
be a dumping ground for the world's malcontents,poor and oppressed. We have 
limited resources and already are twenty trillion + in debt. And we definitely 
don't need immigrants that would rather not assimilate.Every country has their 
own unique culture. That is what unites them and  makes them a *people* and a 
country. The United States is the *great melting pot* where the *many become 
the ONE*. We aren't the frozen food section. One thing that I've always shared 
with others that liked to travel was that there's nothing like coming home and 
I want to keep it that way. If you want to travel and see other people and 
places , fine but you need to have something to come home to.

Further than the USA. 
But, really it's about traveling further in one's mind and heart and being able 
to leave behind the overriding fear or suspicion. It's about moving past the 
known -willingly and with courage. It is about traveling to a place in yourself 
where you can trust that which is strange or unknown. Have I traveled all of 
those places? No. I merely posted Twain's quote because it is also relevant in 
its literal sense. Reading about others, their culture, their religion, their 
beliefs is often very different from living among them, working with them, 
speaking face to face. But that is an obvious statement. Can you not conceive 
of the possibility that just because someone is Muslim that they are not 
interested in raping your sister or cutting off your head? Can you not consider 
the likelihood that 95% of immigrants coming to "your" country have no interest 
in doing anything except surviving? Is it beyond your scope to imagine that 
your life might be improved by the addition of another culture in "your" 
country?

 Further than the USA. 
 

 But, really it's about traveling further in one's mind and heart and being 
able to leave behind the overriding fear or suspicion. It's about moving past 
the known -willingly and with courage. It is about traveling to a place in 
yourself where you can trust that which is strange or unknown. Have I traveled 
all of those places? No. I merely posted Twain's quote because it is also 
relevant in its literal sense. Reading about others, their culture, their 
religion, their beliefs is often very different from living among them, working 
with them, speaking face to face. But that is an obvious statement. Can you not 
conceive of the possibility that just because someone is Muslim that they are 
not interested in raping your sister or cutting off your head? Can you not 
consider the likelihood that 95% of immigrants coming to "your" country have no 
interest in doing anything except surviving? Is it beyond your scope to imagine 
that your life might be improved by the addition of another culture in "your" 
country?

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.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Time for Meditation

We do have a bunch of people here in Fairfield, Iowa who work at meditating, 
who are ‘paid’ in income support to meditate long hours in the group 
meditation.   It is about 80 people who are still paid to be meditating in the 
long meditations daily, morning and evening, in the group meditation here.  The 
‘stipend’ is about $800 per month per person now.
