 I have a pretty strong background in Christian faith, the real kind, where you 
don't always agitate for OTHERS to change THEIR behavior. Instead, it is all 
about trying to be a better person yourself. If you look at the evangelical

apply to everyone else. Just like the radical Muslims. No difference in 
mindset. Both think they have a hotline to God, when in actuality it is ego 
driven delusion. They say this country has lost its way - I say look in the 
mirror for who has lost their way. I am proud of this country, and I don't need 
any Bible thumpers running it down, or telling me what I need to do to fix my 
life. It makes them sound like such assholes. 

 I am really sorry that the "Christian" radicals have put themselves in a 
position to oppose so much of mainstream American life. Perhaps they can all 
buy an island someplace and impose their will on each other. They are against 
so much of what makes this country a great place, and I wish they would pray 
more, a lot more, and yap less. 
 

 Evangelicals have nothing to do with Christ, as far as I'm concerned. If 
Christ existed and if he actually said the things that I find useful and 
powerful and meaningful then these things have no relationship to how 
Evangelicals think or act. A staunch "fundy" Catholic who I recently ran into 
from the old Robin Carlsen days proved to be one of the most intolerant, 
bigoted, unloving, intolerant person I have met in a long time. I am proud to

 Articles from two different brands of Evangelical Christianity: (liberal - C. 
Today; and conservative - Charisma Magazine) both find Trump's supposed 
Christianity troubling and add odds with their Biblical interpretations.
 C. Today says that his theology is closer to that of Norman Vincent Peale and 
Joel Osteen than their strict literal interpretations of the Bible.
 Charisma Magazine contributor Michael L. Brown in May 2016, ("Can We Question 
Donald Trump's Christianity?"), concludes: "But let's not foolishly proclaim 
him to be a Christian when, until recently, many of his ardent supporters 
acknowledge he was not.  Just consider what a world changer Donald Trump could 
be if he really knew the Lord.  Through prayer and God's mercy, it could 
happen.".

 Emily, I never read the article. I'm just offering my opinion based on my 
observations. It all boils down to trust and perception. Cruz talks a good game 
but many see him as *just another Washington politician* that says one thing 
but delivers something quite different. However, that has not been the case 
with Cruz. He has campaigned on his record which is very consistent with what 
his campaign promises were when he ran for the Senate.
 The people flocking to Trump feel absolutely betrayed by Washington's elite 
whether they are Republican or Democrat, Evangelical or Atheist. They want a 
divorce! They know he's not a *professional* politician and that is why they 
forgive his foibles. As I said earlier, they see Trump as the fork in the road 
and they are going to take it because they don't like where the road has been 
going so far.

 

 Fair enough, I get it that many want something more for themselves and their 
families. That they feel hard done by and they don't trust politicians and they 
are, evidently, looking for some magic bullet somewhere, anywhere. Then along 
comes Mr Blowhard and they fall head over heels for his virolent politically 
incorrect bravado which seems to spit in the face of the Establishment as they 
know it in Washington. They positively fall over themselves to clutch the hem 
of his cloak, to fawn at his feet all the while failing to see what is behind 
the bluster and the inconsistencies and the bullshit. This is their one chance, 
their Godsend who will lead them all to eradicate the illegal immigrants, the 
foreigners who threaten them religious-inspired terrorism and will bring jobs 
back to America (even though it is the market place who clamors for cheap goods 
that only places like China, India or Mexico can produce at such low prices). 
Yessiree, Trump supporters are gullible, short-sighted angry people who, if 
they aren't able to open their eyes, will be the recipients of some very big 
surprises.

 Mr. Dixon, I was surprised to read what you wrote there - what you wrote seems 
that it would apply to a reasoning why "Christians" should be flocking to Cruz, 
not Trump.  The article doesn't really make much sense to me - to me it simply 
recognizes the "Christians" that are zealously confused (at least during this 
election) and perhaps have been "deceived" by "Satan" into taking up "idol 
worship."  Psalm 115:"their idols are silver and gold."

 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).

 I guess, according to the Bible and perhaps you, the act of murder is 
relative. I'm not sure I agree. I think if you kill a fully formed, 
functioning, conscious human being, whether it is self defense or not, is 
murdering someone. There may be just cause or there may be self defense 
involved or it may be relatively random but, in the end, you have killed 
someone's mortal body - rendered it incapable of continuing to support life. I 
think you can't have it both ways. You can't say it is not murder if it 
(another person) "is threatening your own" because either way the other person 
ends up dead. Whether abortion is murder is another matter for me because of 
the fact that a fetus is not a fully formed human being nor is it consciously 
functioning as an independent identity. But still, by aborting a fetus one is 
killing a developing life and that counts for something.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Rodney Howard Browne's Laughology

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

You know about Subud? Obama and his mother were practitioners of it. Maharishi 
said not to initiate them until they had abstained from it for at least six 
months. Don't remember much about the details other than I think it involved 
spirit possession.
As for Rodney H. Brown. I've attended one of his meetings. I believe he is 
practicing some sort of Shaktipat. He touched me in the chest and bliss began 
bubbling up within  like a fountain, very similar to a TM experience of bliss.  
Evidently he recognized that I was open to the experience because he kept 
coming back to me and repeating it over and over, each time with more 
intensity. A Samarian woman gave Jesus a drink of water from the well. He told 
her that if she drank of His *water* that she would never thirst again.In the 
Book of Acts, when the disciples gathered in the upper room, the Holy Spirit 
descended upon all that had gathered and they became *drunk* in the Spirit. A 
crowd had gathered outside and thought they had all been drinking. Peter told 
the crowd are you crazy, it's only 9 o'clock in the morning!

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

Michael L Brown is a messianic Jew mentioned in the article. He states 
regarding refugees, that it is the duty of the state to maintain security first 
and the Church to administer charity. I couldn't agree with him more. Kind of 
fits in with the idea of separation of church and state.
BTW, no one knows the policies that Egypt maintained regarding *refugees* when 
Joseph, Mary and Yeshua  fled there. However, the magi had given them gold 
which would indicate that they were self sufficient(support of nature), there 
was a non- threatening Jewish presence already there and Joseph had a skill.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Trump's Christianity

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

Emily, I never read the article. I'm just offering my opinion based on my 
observations. It all boils down to trust and perception. Cruz talks a good game 
but many see him as *just another Washington politician* that says one thing 
but delivers something quite different. However, that has not been the case 
with Cruz. He has campaigned on his record which is very consistent with what 
his campaign promises were when he ran for the Senate.The people flocking to 
Trump feel absolutely betrayed by Washington's elite whether they are 
Republican or Democrat, Evangelical or Atheist. They want a divorce! They know 
he's not a *professional* politician and that is why they forgive his foibles. 
As I said earlier, they see Trump as the fork in the road and they are going to 
take it because they don't like where the road has been going so far.

    Well said, both of you (Ollie and Ann).  
Mr. Dixon, I was surprised to read what you wrote there - what you wrote seems 
that it would apply to a reasoning why "Christians" should be flocking to Cruz, 
not Trump.  The article doesn't really make much sense to me - to me it simply 
recognizes the "Christians" that are zealously confused (at least during this 
election) and perhaps have been "deceived" by "Satan" into taking up "idol 
worship."  Psalm 115:"their idols are silver and gold."

Well, I have to say I pretty much agree with you again Anne.
 I don't trust Trump any further than I could throw him. He says whatever he 
thinks will appeal to the most people.Most *Christians* are simply wearing a 
label by tradition. Parent and grandparents were baptized and so were they.Most 
Christians tend to be like secular Jews, by name only, not by practice. But 
those Christians that take their faith more seriously, for the most part, 
reject abortion on demand and see it as murder. They equate abortion with the 
holocaust and  pure evil. And they will also draw parallels between today and 
events in the old testament.

Dome is still very nice.  In truth it is one of the wonders of the world.  It 
is sad note about TM how people were driven away from it for so long.

 “What would it take to reconcile with you to have you come back to the Dome to 
meditate?”

fear, deceit and judgment.  If that had been the movement’s continued

requirements, not an option but required, to just lie, it ended.   The irony is

 This business shift over to Old Testament-like judgements about people and 
vengeful retributions in separating off old TM teachers by a kind of summary 
business personality in the middle of TM has become something of a huge loss of 
resource, both human and financial, that could have been handled differently. 
  
 By a Corporate coldness and a mercantile administration of a bunch of wealthy 
people there was not much of a sustained attempt at visiting around with people 
of the old movement after Maharishi died by 2008. In effect they turned a lot 
of people out by trying to use the org to discipline people to their own minds. 
 They quite effectively lost a lot of capital and love.  The metrics are not 
good when you look at them.

 Seems a terrible thing and real failure that they seem to have antagonized a

 The Review, Vol. 31, #14, April 27, 2016, Maharishi University of Management 
 

 New Study: Invincible America Assembly Reduced Homicides 21.2% and Violent 
Crime 18.5%
 A new study has found that the community Invincible America Assembly reduced 
the rate of homicides by a total of 21.2% over the four-year period when 
attendance was at its peak, and reduced the rate of violent crime by a total of 
18.5% over the same period.
 The study estimates that 8,157 homicides were averted by the significant shift 
from an increasing to a decreasing trend in homicide rates.
 Published earlier this month in the journal SAGE Open, the study established 
baseline rates of homicide for the whole U.S. and violent crime for a sample of 
206 urban areas with a population over 100,000 during the period of 2002–2006, 
and then compared that baseline with the period 2007–2010.
 The researchers found that a rising trend of U.S. homicide during the baseline 
period 2002-2006 was reversed during the 2007-2010 intervention period. In the 
case of violent crime, the study found a highly significant shift from a flat 
trend in 2002-2006 to a declining trend in 2007-2010.
 From January of 2007 through December 2010, the Assembly was above or near the 
threshold of 1,725 participants, the size predicted to have an influence on the 
U.S. This threshold represents the square root of 1% of the U.S. population.
 "Given that there are now multiple studies showing a highly significant 
relationship between a large group practicing the Transcendental Meditation and 
TM-Sidhi programs and decreased violence, this obviously has implications for 
crime prevention," said research professor Michael Dillbeck, lead author of the 
study.
 This study is the latest in a series of studies spanning decades that have 
suggested that a sufficiently large group practicing an advanced program of the 
Transcendental Meditation® technique, the TM-Sidhi® program, is associated with 
decreased social violence.
 Nine peer-reviewed articles, comprising 14 studies, have now been published.
 The earlier studies were for periods of several weeks or months. This current 
study was based on group practice over a number of years, which gave 
researchers an opportunity to study potential long-term changes.
 They used a battery of diagnostic tests to establish the validity of the key 
statistical assumptions of the analysis, which utilized "broken-trend 
intervention analysis" of outcomes, a form of interrupted time series analysis.
 In the study the authors discuss alternative hypotheses, such as economic 
trends, incarceration rates, seasonal cycles, demographic changes, and policing 
strategies, but found they weren't sufficient to explain the observed reduction.
 The study, titled "Societal Violence and Collective Consciousness: Reduction 
of U.S. Homicide and Urban Violent Crime Rates 
http://sgo.sagepub.com/content/6/2/2158244016637891,; was coauthored by 
professor Ken Cavanaugh.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Trump's Christianity

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

One thing Ollie, there are people that refer to themselves as *Christians* 
because the family has always worn the label but have never so much as cracked 
a Bible open to see what it says, much less contemplate it. Maybe they were 
even baptized. Even a baby has to be born and take a breath before it ever does 
great things later in life. Then there are people that actually mature and 
begin to practice, more seriously, according to their ability to 
understand.Most people that would be willing to wear the label *evangelical* or 
*fundamentalist* would consider abortion to be murder( see ten 
commandments).Somehow, I don't think abortion was ever considered an option by 
ancient  Jews of the Patriarch  considering Sarah, wife of Abraham, was barren 
until she was in her eighties and having children was considered not only a 
blessing but an absolute necessity. Then there was Rebeca who was barren until 
later in life who gave birth to Joseph and saved the line of Abraham Isaac and  
Jacob.Moses covered abortion in the Ten Commandments with *Thou shalt not 
Murder*. Of course there was Mary, mother of Yeshua who went through the 
humiliation of being pregnant in her community before marriage. Imagine her 
having taken the legal option of aborting her *inconvenience*. 
The fact is Ollie, that American's opinions on abortion are changing and for 
the better. It is no longer seen as an option by the majority, as a means of 
birth control. More and more people are wanting it restricted to cases of rape, 
incest and to protect the life of the mother. From a Biblical perspective, it 
would only be acceptable if it was necessary to protect the life of the mother. 
It is not considered murder to take a life that is directly threatening your 
own.

Well said, both of you (Ollie and Ann).

that it would apply to a reasoning why "Christians" should be flocking to Cruz, 
not Trump.  The article doesn't really make much sense to me - to me it simply 
recognizes the "Christians" that are zealously confused (at least during this 
election) and perhaps have been "deceived" by "Satan" into taking up "idol 
worship."  Psalm 115:"their idols are silver and gold."

Trump is the furthest thing from what might prove to be the salvation of the

to see at any given time. He is neither true to himself nor to his addled 
supporters. Part of me would love to see him gain the White House just so I 
could watch those idiots who supported him lament the day they ever voted for 
the guy. It will almost be worth the price of what will happen to the country 
with him in power. He is a menace in every way - terrifying - and there will be 
nowhere to run. I am truly horrified that so many Americans are voting for him 
- a nightmare.

someone having a relationship with Christ, as perfect or imperfect as it may 
be, regardless of the religious trappings.I think most people that consider 
themselves *evangelical* fully realize the short comings of Trump as an ideal 
reflection of Christianity but see him as an instrument through which God is 
working. They see him as a choice. Take a new road or keep going down the one 
that they really believe is bringing judgement or a deterioration of our 
country and culture.
Most Christians believe the United States has greatly offended God with 50 
million abortions, as the Jews did with child sacrifices to Moloch, during the 
time of Jeremiah. God judged Israel, withdrew his protection and allowed the 
Jews to be conquered, destroyed the temple of Solomon  and be taken into 
captivity in Babylon. Some see Trump as the fork in the road and we better take 
it.

 Utter crap. This is little more than facile projection by the largely white 
male congregations of the most radical and repressed evangelical churches, 
decrying the ability of women to make their own choices. Why do fundamentalist 
conservatives always take their own shortcomings and try to make them "biblical 
prophecy or testimony"?? It is delusion, craziness, the attempt of a disordered 
mind to be brain-washed by egotism.
 

 I'll bet that many of those against abortion are madly in favor of the second 
ammendment. Again, a religionized attempt to let women know that the old white 
guys are still Firmly In Control. A pretty limp effort, imo
 

 Most Christians in this country go about their daily life to the best of their 
ability, not filled with the judgment and hatred of those who have fooled 
themselves into believing they talk to Jesus Christ, and are therefore 
unassailable. The country faces some problems, not the least of which are a 
bunch of racist and sexist religious fanatics. The Muslims? Hell no, all the 
"born again" Christians. Never content to live like normal folk, they need to 
get "born again" to flaunt their desperation and arrogance. I don't give 'em 
the time of day. If they want to stop pretending to be anything except just 
like everybody else, Jesus or no Jesus, I can interact, but all the exclusion 
and faux superiority makes me look on them with pity and their ideas with 
contempt, as they so richly deserve. Even Jewish Law passed down to "the chosen 
people" does not outlaw abortion. Same God, different day...

 There you go: they're utterly batshit, that proves it.

 "New road" my ass. Donald's road is the same age as the day narcissism and 
self interest were born.

 This is utter bollocks. "Most Christians" don't believe any such thing and 
Trump is the furthest thing from what might prove to be the salvation of the 
US. He is a chameleon who will glow whatever color he thinks his fans will want 
to see at any given time. He is neither true to himself nor to his addled 
supporters. Part of me would love to see him gain the White House just so I 
could watch those idiots who supported him lament the day they ever voted for 
the guy. It will almost be worth the price of what will happen to the country 
with him in power. He is a menace in every way - terrifying - and there will be 
nowhere to run. I am truly horrified that so many Americans are voting for him 
- a nightmare.

[FairfieldLife] New Study: Invincible America Assembly Reduced Homicides 21.2% and Violent Crime 18.5%

[Dick Mays dickm...@lisco.com [FairfieldLife]]

The Review, Vol. 31, #14, April 27, 2016, Maharishi University of Management


New Study: Invincible America Assembly Reduced Homicides 21.2% and Violent 
Crime 18.5%

A new study has found that the community Invincible America Assembly reduced 
the rate of homicides by a total of 21.2% over the four-year period when 
attendance was at its peak, and reduced the rate of violent crime by a total of 
18.5% over the same period.

The study estimates that 8,157 homicides were averted by the significant shift 
from an increasing to a decreasing trend in homicide rates.

Published earlier this month in the journal SAGE Open, the study established 
baseline rates of homicide for the whole U.S. and violent crime for a sample of 
206 urban areas with a population over 100,000 during the period of 2002–2006, 
and then compared that baseline with the period 2007–2010.

The researchers found that a rising trend of U.S. homicide during the baseline 
period 2002-2006 was reversed during the 2007-2010 intervention period. In the 
case of violent crime, the study found a highly significant shift from a flat 
trend in 2002-2006 to a declining trend in 2007-2010.

>From January of 2007 through December 2010, the Assembly was above or near the 
>threshold of 1,725 participants, the size predicted to have an influence on 
>the U.S. This threshold represents the square root of 1% of the U.S. 
>population.

"Given that there are now multiple studies showing a highly significant 
relationship between a large group practicing the Transcendental Meditation and 
TM-Sidhi programs and decreased violence, this obviously has implications for 
crime prevention," said research professor Michael Dillbeck, lead author of the 
study.

This study is the latest in a series of studies spanning decades that have 
suggested that a sufficiently large group practicing an advanced program of the 
Transcendental Meditation® technique, the TM-Sidhi® program, is associated with 
decreased social violence.

Nine peer-reviewed articles, comprising 14 studies, have now been published.

The earlier studies were for periods of several weeks or months. This current 
study was based on group practice over a number of years, which gave 
researchers an opportunity to study potential long-term changes.

They used a battery of diagnostic tests to establish the validity of the key 
statistical assumptions of the analysis, which utilized "broken-trend 
intervention analysis" of outcomes, a form of interrupted time series analysis.

In the study the authors discuss alternative hypotheses, such as economic 
trends, incarceration rates, seasonal cycles, demographic changes, and policing 
strategies, but found they weren't sufficient to explain the observed reduction.

The study, titled "Societal Violence and Collective Consciousness: Reduction of 
U.S. Homicide and Urban Violent Crime Rates 
," was coauthored by 
professor Ken Cavanaugh.
