 Art of Living is a huge vibrant movement.  They should use the power of their

  charisma?
 

 There are scholarly teachers, gurus who teach technique, and saints who give 
help and can directly transform people. With any one or in combination then 
what is the experience of charisma and where is the TMO now with charisma? 
  What is charisma?
 One author talks about 'prophetic charisma', on a different continuum than 
what we may see as narcissism, or narcissistic personality or disorders.
  
 Pure charisma thus is personal and is based on face-to-face contact and 
feelings of trust, duty, and love on the part of the followers (Schweitzer 
1984, 33). It is creative and revolutionary, for "in its pure form charisma . . 
. may be said to exist only in the process of originating" (Weber 1964, 364). 
At the other end of the continuum, routinized charisma describes what happens 
when a leader’s charisma is thinly dispersed throughout the followers who act 
in the leader’s name, typically after he has died. It may survive many 
generations and underlie a stable social order, but it is conservative and is 
not a force for social change (Miyahara 1983, 370).

 True, the spectrum of consciousness available through TM and TMSP is complete,

Brahman. None of these other programs cover such a range, though they can be 
helpful in offering a new, partial perspective on the journey. 
 

 The kicker with the TMO is there is no one living in Brahman heading the 
organization, so that these other programs are seen in opposition, and as 
threats, instead of seeing them as a partial picture, with the complete 
definition of the growth of consciousness always available through the 
techniques, and associated documents, and media of the TM program and TMSP.  
 

 Without someone new at the top to put this into perspective, Maharishi's 
teachings are the only fallback, with the consequence of the TMO becoming less 
relevant and increasingly conservative.

2016-04-23 Thread dhamiltony...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife] 
Apparently at a time earlier on in teaching meditation Maharishi found the more 
general common denominator that seemed to get in the way of meditation and 
spiritual experience was evidently in fact smoking pot. He taught a lot of 
people to meditate and canvased and experimented with various periods of people 
abstaining from using rec drugs prior to learning. 15 days was more surefire 
compared to shorter periods. 
  
 The science now seems to be more with that too. Given how pot potency has been 
so incredibly increased by systematic plant breeding and hybridizing, maybe the 
period of abstinence should be longer. More science is likely needed.  
Cannabinoids evidently do linger in the system.  But at a minimum by experience 
15 days abstaining before learning how to meditate seems to be an effective 
number.

Good one but I like this even better, way better. "Summertime" is one of my 
favorite songs and this is great to watch and listen to. Gives you the feeling 
for how facile Prince was with "his" instruments.

  charisma?
 

 There are scholarly teachers, gurus who teach technique, and saints who give 
help and can directly transform people. With any one or in combination then 
what is the experience of charisma and where is the TMO now with charisma? 
  What is charisma?
 One author talks about 'prophetic charisma', on a different continuum than 
what we may see as narcissism, or narcissistic personality or disorders.
  
 Pure charisma thus is personal and is based on face-to-face contact and 
feelings of trust, duty, and love on the part of the followers (Schweitzer 
1984, 33). It is creative and revolutionary, for "in its pure form charisma . . 
. may be said to exist only in the process of originating" (Weber 1964, 364). 
At the other end of the continuum, routinized charisma describes what happens 
when a leader’s charisma is thinly dispersed throughout the followers who act 
in the leader’s name, typically after he has died. It may survive many 
generations and underlie a stable social order, but it is conservative and is 
not a force for social change (Miyahara 1983, 370).

[FairfieldLife] Charismatic Spiritual

2016-04-23 Thread dhamiltony...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife] 
What is charisma, spiritually? Where is TM with charisma? 
 Evidently its charisma is now dispersed and routinized, and not necessarily as 
great a force for social change, by these accounts: 
 Prophetic Charisma: The Psychology of Revolutionary Religious Personalities 
(1997) by Len Oakes 
 Introduction by Corey Donovan 
 What is this thing called charisma?
 [T]he idea of a divinely inspired power or talent is as old as mankind. The 
oldest surviving work of fiction, the Epic of Gilgamesh, tells of a 
warrior-king, part god and part man, who quests for the secret of eternal life. 
He has many adventures in the lands of the gods, and even attains that which he 
seeks, only to have it torn from his grasp at the last moment. He returns home 
convinced of the futility of his quest and knowing that "the central fact of my 
life is my death" (Kopp 1972, 31; Heidel 1968).
 The word "charisma" comes from the name of the Greek goddess Charis, who 
personified grace, beauty, purity, and altruism. Possession of these faculties 
came to be known as charisma. [Footnote: The Greek word is charizesthai, and it 
means favor or gift of divine origin. The Greeks do not seem to have associated 
this with the kind of demagogic and irrational leadership of which Plato wrote 
in his Gorgias, although they were well aware of the rhapsodic "Dionysian" 
aspect of life; Plato was a member of the Elysian mystery cult. For Aristotle 
the megalopsychos was the great man who dares to live alone in secret worship 
of his own soul. The Romans called the hero’s charismatic power facilitas and 
believed it was derived from the gods.] Later usages derive from St. Paul, who 
saw it as a gift of grace from God: "To one there is given through the spirit 
the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same 
spirit, to another faith by the same spirit, to another gifts of healing by 
that one spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy" (1 
Corinthians 12:8-10).

  What is charisma?
 One author talks about 'prophetic charisma', on a different continuum than 
what we may see as narcissism, or narcissistic personality and disorders.
  
 Pure charisma thus is personal and is based on face-to-face contact and 
feelings of trust, duty, and love on the part of the followers (Schweitzer 
1984, 33). It is creative and revolutionary, for "in its pure form charisma . . 
. may be said to exist only in the process of originating" (Weber 1964, 364). 
At the other end of the continuum, routinized charisma describes what happens 
when a leader’s charisma is thinly dispersed throughout the followers who act 
in the leader’s name, typically after he has died. It may survive many 
generations and underlie a stable social order, but it is conservative and is 
not a force for social change (Miyahara 1983, 370).

I just saw on Yahoo News that Sri Sri Ravi Shankar tried to get *peace talks* 
initiated with ISIS. 
Their response was to send him a photograph of a decapitated body.Seems Sri Sri 
became resigned to the fact that maybe only the military should deal ISIS.

Yes, it evidently was a spiritually attuned meeting of a lot of old TM teachers 
in Fairfield, Iowa.  The guy came to Fairfield through the Oneness group.  
Apparently the mantras were very well sung with good effect.  Was yet another 
spiritually powerful meeting of Fairfield.  Lot of our old TM community here 
was there in the audience listening/meditating with it.

The original post seems a good reminder about the vibratory nature of mantras.  
There was a guy touring here to Fairfield tonight singing these mantras in a 
program downtown attended by quite a full crowd of TM teachers meditating along 
with the singing of these mantras.  The TM teachers, many of them being re-cert 
TM teachers or old TM teachers who are being paid to be on the IA grant in the

[FairfieldLife] Vacuum tube and yogic flying... ; )

2016-04-23 Thread he...@hotmail.com [FairfieldLife] 
(Based on a TV documentary, just saw...)
 

 The guy who invented the idea of an amplifying tube, tried various gases,
 but that didn't render the tube to amplify the flow of electrons(?) very 
effectively.
 

 The fellows who attempted to improve his idea, finally ended up trying a 
vacuum inside
 the tube. The rest is history.
 

 Perhaps the idea behind yogic flying (and "celestial hearing"*, which is also 
based
 on aakaasha) is somewhat similar: when one realizes that ones physical body
 is 99,999... percent empty space, that greatly amplifies the thought of 
lightness?
 

 ROFLOL?
