[FairfieldLife] Fairfield Friends, your Daily Inspiration - Saturday - One With All
Title: Template April 09, 2005 - One With All You are not enclosed within your bodies, nor confined to houses or fields. That which is you dwells above the mountains and roves with the wind. It is not a thing that crawls into the sun for warmth or digs holes into darkness for safety. But a thing free of spirit that envelops the earth and moves in the ether. Kahlil Gibran The Prophet The last scene of the movie, The Boy Who Could Fly, begins with the boy and his girlfriend trapped on a roof top, moments away from capture. At the edge of the roof, with no place left to go, she turns to him and asks, Can you really fly? He smiles and replies, Yes. She says, Now would be a good time to do it. He takes her hand and they fly away. To you we say... This is the time for you to fly. Carson's Commentary Was this message forwarded to you? The Daily Inspiration e-mail is free.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Join Bhagavad Gita discussion
It's said Rory, that thoughts of the Absolute are the greatest sin of all because the Absolute can only be aprehended in no-thought. You have chosen to write in the Brahman Consciousness viewpoint, one which I do not acknowledge. For I am a Buddhist. I only recognize the Three Buddha Bodies. The difference being that the Three Buddha Bodies do not reify the ego, because of a subtle twist of the intellect through using the notion of 'void' versus the Hindu notion of 'God.' So I do not formally acknowledge the Absolute at all, but focus entirely on the relative when not meditating. (Except when meditation in action. ) The Absolute may know the Absolute or it may not, the relative takes care of itself, all the better when the mind merely lets go of it as well. I'm contrasting these two religious viewpoints to submit to you that in spite of your assumption of Brahman your ego is reifying the viewpoint also of Brahman, which means you cannot use the mind on the relative task at hand. I submit that if you're able to maintain both things, the relative working on the relative and the Absolute Absolute, then there is in fact no need to mix the two states as per convention because mixing them confuses them, and also confuses other beings. Moreover, and this is my real point, that the highest state of awareness also brings withit the most acute understanding of pain, temporality, and death, and therefore also brings compassion. It's for this reason that all the deities have fangs, or blood dripping or head malas, or stand on corpses, or are crucified, or hamstrung, or minced into countless atoms. If you cannot formally acknowledge the depth and suffering of beings simultaneously with your 'Brahman' then that state is shallow. But I'll submit that you most likely can, and that, since emotion is tejas it will brighten the entire vaishravana lake when angry, and so on. Yada yada. Which also why the admonitions about how a split second of anger can destroy the tapas of lifetimes. Yada yada Yada yada Yada yada Yada yada Yada yada Yada yada Being Brahman in action is mentally divisive. I mean, I'm doing the same thing actually all the time, except that I'm trying to be the Three Buddha Bodies. I find it really spaces me out and makes me so aware of my enviroment including the mental vibes that my brain starts to fry, which is why I am always damping down with drugs. I have to focus. I decided I have a condition which isn't formally acknowledged in Western medicine: To wit, as soon as I try I get so unbounded that my hold on everything slips clean away and I space out bigtime. If I even so much as meditate for ten minutes once a day with TM. It has to do with soma production. Soma makes me space out hard. It also makes me so calm that it makes motion very difficult. By profession I have to focus and I have to move. So I must also balance the two things. For the benefit of Kirk, it would have been best if he had never learned TM at all because after every TM session when Kirk's mind clears, he can't stand it and goes and darkens the mirror. It's a condition this playing hide and seek, and yet, all the cool people wear shades. (Because the shades cool one down.) However, the cool looking shades of drug abuse aren't in fact cool at all but of the nature of mara, and when one trys to deny them they screech and drag their claws through ones nerves. On the other hand the wrathful deities of cognition really enjoy cognitive or empathogen/entheogen drugs, as people who make breakthrough into clear speech with the deities on DMT will tell you, the deities are always thrilled when someone gets the vision and voice because it's quite rare, or almost unheard of. I'm not saying difficult though as it's easily possible, especially now. I mean Jesus, with the atmosphere of the world having had its astral body almost burned off there's much less basic samsara for all humans to worry about during meditation. I remember when the astral still existed, it was really disgusting. It's gone now. It disappeared at about the Taste of Utopia conference. However the causal or mental body still exists and it is very willfull and full of conflict, expect it to go next, and then watch out as humans all start to act like asuras or devas. Yet there may still be collective pools of astral reified by the participants who just cannot let go of their own emotional pollution. For those samsaric beings we must have compassion. But a quick upward glance or even the slightest aspiration is enough now to bring a clearing. You say nothing but Brahman ever existed. I say Brahman is still a relative state, a state of relatively identifying the Absolute, I speak instead to the opposite state where one absolutely identifies the relative. - Original Message - From: Rory Goff To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, April 08, 2005 10:45

[FairfieldLife] Re: OK, here's the poop
If this new marketing plan even has more than a 2 month life span, having MMY pay for everything is the ONLY way this has any chance of working, because the teachers won't have anywhere near the money required to lease mall space. It sounds to me as if they are copying the Aveda cosmetics shops, which I believe have been fairly successful. ONly the TMO wants our TM stores to be higher end than Aveda products. That is the key issue here - will our ultra expensive stuff find a market in the malls, or fail as did Tm at $2500/ person. Putting anything to sell in a mall with that great exposure is not a bad idea. I wonder if MMY has decided to spend a bunch of the money in his bank accounts on a last ditch effort to create a resurrgence of interest, to leave a lasting impression before he goes. What a contrast: they now say the dignity of the profession of teaching TM requires only full-time people (there is some truth to the idea that it seems more trustworthy and significant to learn to meditate from someone dedicated to it full-time) and yet it will be available in malls right alongside Old Navy stores or Bloomingdale's and the TMO's own cosmetics, herbs and honey. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, L B Shriver [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Rick Archer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: snip AND GET THIS.

Why would a shopping mall give more interest than say, and internet site, or a TM center, or an a large ad. in a local paper. I can't see it myself.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Unboundedness
Title: Unboundedness I don't really have the answers or self medication wouldn't be my answer. I don't know really Rick, I've never had the support of a coherent group of people backing me up. I've been all alone here in NOLA for the past fifteen, until I found some Buddhists, but I really don't care about group practices any longer at this point except as a retreat. Rick, I have to make that transition someday to a straight spiritual type who represents what he stands for without weaknesses. But yes, the unboundedness is a big problem, but more of a problem is the dire necessity to be able to function successfully when I don't feel like it, against all odds. Like 'All That Jazz.' But in a few years the pressure might ease a bit as I reach the top scale of my profession here in the city. Yes, I need too learn to integrate. But needing to and doing it are two different things. I don't integrate very well, which is why I picked up the other techniques and practices that I do, they help. Chanting helps alot I find, after meditation. And so on. If it wasn't drugs it would have to be sex. Excercise never did work for me for grounding. I am seriously pitta so grounding equals dulling out. - Original Message - From: Rick Archer To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, April 09, 2005 10:20 AM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Unboundedness Kirk, I was thinking about what you were saying about needing drugs to keep you grounded because unboundedness spaces you out (I hope Ive got that right). Isnt enlightenment all about getting acclimated to functioning in a state of unboundedness? If an ordinary person were to shift suddenly into the enlightened state, they wouldnt be able to function. In fact, this is exactly what happened to Eckhart Tolle and Byron Katie. It took each of them a few years to adjust. Maharishi said that if you were to get enlightened suddenly it would take ten strong men to hold you down. But youve been at it for so many years. Shouldnt your focus be on integrating and acclimating to unboundedness, rather than try to suppress or obliterate the experience? It seems like the intensity of your cooking job would help do this. How about physical exercise? Jogging or something? It seems to me that unboundedness is a good thing. We want it. We just need to learn to handle it.

Also, the participants on this course have been told that there is no salary for these full-time TM teaching positions. So the strategy on the part of the official TM movement seems to be: say anything to get people to commit, and then make all previous statements inoperative (to use the word coined by Nixon's press secretary to avoid having to admit that the president had lied).

Many, MANY years ago I used to sell Encyclopaedia Britannica. They had a sales technique called price conditioning in which when you got to the end of the presentation just before the close, you went over with the customer the different Britannica editions they could choose from.

Well, by the time you got down to the last two -- if memory serves me right, about $1,895 and $1,000 -- the customers were so grateful to be away from the $10,000 and $4,000 prices that they were just darned happy to be around a price they could afford.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Photo proof positive of Pundit project.
Interesting response. I suppose that if you adopt the TMO's attitude of screwing everyone you can hire pandits and pay them a pittance. Why not? Personally, I think it is unethical, so we pay our pandits generously. Sure, we could hire them for 100 rupees a day but why not honor the knowledge and the pandits by being generous? If we take Dana's assertion that they can get a pundit for 100 rupees, then imagine the profit margin the TMO makes on a TMO yagya! So they charge westerners thousands and pay the Indian pundits a few dollars...this is ethical? As for the supplies...free? Really. I doubt it. Ghee is never free. And 800,000 coconuts? Sure, just go down to the corner and pick 'em up. The TMO has always been organizationally challenged. Why should it change now? The 100,000 will never materialize and I'll bet that eventually we in the US will be blamed for it...not enough support, purity, terrorism, or maybe too much democracy! --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Rick Archer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dana Sawyer's comments on Ben Collin's assessment of the 100,000 pundit yagya: The figures below seem absurd to me - for many reasons. But what comes to mind first is that MMY needs to find someone else to purchase materials and labor for his yagyas. I hire pandits in Banaras, to do translations and search out texts, at a rate of two hundred rupees per day (less than five bucks) and that is a good pay check. So paying pandits 40 bucks per day to do yagyas is outrageous. Second, materials are basically free, no matter what this email states. You can buy coconuts everywhere in India for five ruppees per (12 cents). Further details if you want them - and I still want to know where this activity is supposedly taking place, so I check it out.

We do yagyas and generally pay our priests $40 a day which is the going rate for Sr. level pundits. We pay the same as the Shankaracharya Ashram which typically pays the best rate of any temple, etc. For a 5-10 priest yagya we add about $100 a day for yagya materials and food (we feed the priests lunch as is tradition). My $100 per day per person was a guess that attempted to factor in travel, lodging, per diem, yagya site, yagya materials, support staff, etc. Admittedly it is a guess, but based on the 108 priest yagya, it seems to me to be in the ball park. If you do a yagya in a really traditional manner, there are always special ingredients that are hard to get but important. Some yagyas I have seen require upwards of 50-60 differnt kinds of herbs, seeds, wood, leaves, vines, fruits, flowers, etc. As an example, a typical yagya will use 4-5 coconuts. So if you have 4000 groups of 25 using 5 coconuts a day for 40 days, that is 800,000 coconuts! Another example is that a typical yagya will use 1 quart of ghee per priest. So you have 250,000 gallons of ghee per day for 100,000 priests! (1 million gallons for the 40 days) Each repetition of the mantra requires about 1-2 tablespoons of ghee so it is difficult if not impossible to reduce the amount if you are doing a genuine traditional yagya. Finally, the yagya fire is traditionally made with cakes of cow dung (not wood). For a 5 priest yagya we burn 1 bushel of cakes in a 2 hour yagya. So, if they have 4000 groups of 25 around 1 fire, let's say they'd use 5 bushels per day for a total of 800,000 bushels of cow dung. (there's a joke here that I will let you make yourselves!) I read somewhere that MMY is wanting to do the Sudarshana Yagya. The main Sudarshana mantra called Sudarshana Mula Mantra. It is about 20 lines long. It has significiant power. The thing is that I learned this mantra and have participated in many yagyas with a priest who is a specialist in this mantra. It took me 5 years before I experienced any power from it and I can not ever remotely come close to Narasimha who has been doing this his whole life. There is a process of empowering a mantra that takes time regardless of whether someone is a Brahmin or not. So in my mind, training becomes an issue. I mean, anyone could learn this mantra in a few days. But it won't have any significant effect... I'm not necessarily saying that MMY can't make this happen, but look at some of the physical and logistical factors and you can see that it is a pretty gigantic task! Thanks Ben. Yes, I know $10 was low ball, I just wanted to show that even at that very

They are always nourishing, but especially fulfilling when sung during the Nine Days of Mother Divine, which occur in the spring and fall of every year according to the Vedic calendar. (Starting this coming April 9th) One has only to consult the Harvard Dictionary of Music to realize the ethnomusicology of Vedic India has now become among the most widely acclaimed and respected by scholars of world music as well as those of the Western Classical tradition. And rightly so, for its subtleties and intricacies of melodic pitch, frequency, and rhythm are unsurpassed in other cultural heritages. Here in these delightful samples from the vast array of the sacred classical music of Vedic India, surviving more than 5,000 years through oral tradition of teaching, lies a timeless treasure of delightful melodies and profound poetic texts; in sweetest simplicity and divine purity. Here lies a most sublime vehicle for human vocal _expression, as well as for connecting the heart and soul to its inner divine resources through the sensory experience of musical tone and text in the Vedic form of swara. For me personally, it has become a rediscovery of the higher purpose and function of music: enlivenment of the cosmic melodies and frequencies structuring the divine intelligence that administers our universe. Graciella Zogbi, vocalist, instructor, and researcher of Vedic Music I have listened to the beautiful recording of the singing of Sanskrit songs, and I found it enjoyable and very settling to listen to. From the viewpoint of Sanskrit, it's technically accurate, much like a recording that would emerge from some ashram high in the Himalayas. I recommend it, and I personally plan to listen to it again and again.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Join Bhagavad Gita discussion
You wanna try Byronizing, maybe? What is it about life as it is that bothers you the most - what do you most deeply feel should be different than it is?Byronizing, sounds like a type of drycleaning. Nah, life, it's good. I'm happy already. I could go right this second. Nah, I want to stick around, in fact, as senseless as maya is it seems to get better, even as it gets worse. Snake Ananta, oh Kundalini, we go around and around in this one except that as a double Libra I have found balance in ipso facto balance and not renouncing the dark or the light to borrow from Lao Tzu. Nonetheless, to not recognize suffering is foolish at best, and leads to a complete root downfall at worst. Unless it doesn't of course. I suffered plenty and I won't forget it either ever. Moreover, I know that watching my karma is all that I have to prevent future suffering, and really nothing else. Each thing on its own. And when each thing is on the other then is tantra.
