As I think I've mentioned before here, I doubt he's 
ever really read anything of the literature of 
Scientology or any other spiritual tradition.  But
Maharishi had a strong core follower in the early
days of the movement who had been L. Ron Hubbard's
personal secretary for many, many years, and she
probably told him a few things about Hubbard.

I remember at Squaw Valley 1968 she mentioned her
personal feelings that Hubbard was probably the 
most brilliant man she had ever met, but was at
the same time (in her exact word) certifiable.
She felt that he had a streak of paranoia that
influenced everything he ever did or wrote.

[FairfieldLife] Re: The Relative

2005-06-22 Thread claudiouk
My question though is, if in enlightenment the Knower is 
the infinite Self, no longer the point ego, which effectively 
gets overridden (apart from its organizing functions), then you are 
left with a Self and a perceiving body. There might well be an 
experience of Self in all beings/ all beings in Self but how true 
can that be if it remains exclusively linked to the original point 
body and its perceptions? As such it's just like a glorified relative 
ego blessed with blissful oceanic feelings. It would only be a true 
cosmic Self if, moving from infinity to point, it no longer is 
exclusively linked to the original point body, since Self is 
omnipresent, at every point. That would make it less relative than 
before, since it would now be linked with an infinity of points of 
perception. You mention omniscience.. well if there is only ONE 
Knower anyway... presumably in Unity this happens? Otherwise again it 
would be a point hallucinating infinity, with no reality to it.

 Enlightenment is the ability to embody all paradoxical realities.
  
  Take an actor having overall awareness (infinite value) and he 
acts
  three characters in a play (point value). Speaking as each 
character
  in turn he operates within the limitations their 
respective egos -
  but as the only reality the actor knows exactly what these egos
  perceive and can or cannot say or do. Whereas, returning to
  Consciousness, in the case of someone claiming enlightenment, 
there
  seems to be only knowledge of the one body and ego that existed 
prior
  to enlightenment.
  
  Is such enlightenment still relative then, and is there another
  more profound level to reach in which truly one would experience
  everything as the Self, this Self being truly INTIMATELY

 Sounds like you're alluding to omniscience. I think we can know 
ourSelf as
 the Self in all beings and see all beings in the Self without 
actually
 perceiving through the senses of all beings. That would be a 
relative
 ability, and enlightenment is not defined by relative abilities.
  
  In other words, stage 1 enlightenment is the expansion of point to
  infinity; stage 2, the linking back of infinity to ALL relative
  points, enabling the original point to know all other points
  intimately, directly.. Does this tally with any scripture, I 
wonder.

 Unc Sounds like a great gig, being there and enjoying 
 happenings like the one you describe. Do you speak French? If 
 not, how is it living there w/o it? In the last several years I 
 have found myself attracted to France but have never been, and 
 don't speak the language.

Well, I have to admit to having been somewhat lazy with
the development of my French.  I work for a French company,
but one in the computer industry (which runs on English)
and in which everyone speaks English, and in which all of
the documentation and training materials and programs I
write are done in English.  So there has been (fortunately
for me in terms of finding work, unfortunately for me in
terms of learning French) not the immersion factor at
work that would have improved my French drastically.

I can read most things in French, and understand most of
what is said.  My weakness is in speaking French well.  I
can get by, but French grammar is very precise, and my
French is, as yet, far from precise.  I have the same
problems everyone has -- with the gender of nouns, the
exact verb form to use, etc.  But I'm working on it.  This
summer I get to live in a small town in the south, where
almost no one speaks English, so I will finally be forced
into the immersion scenario I need to progress.

The more general answer to your question is that you can
get by adequately in Paris knowing very little French,
because English has emerged as the international language
of tourism, just as it is the international language of
business and computing.  But in the smaller towns and
provinces, you'd be much happier knowing more French.

IMO, the best way to learn whether one really has a feel
for France or not is to visit, and travel around.  There
is an old saying here that is completely accurate -- 
There is Paris, and then there is France.  The two are
not synonymous.  Paris, although arguably one of the world's
most beautiful and livable cities, is not France.  It's 
Paris, its own universe.  The outlying areas of France
are very, very, very different.  Most different, for a 
meditator, in terms of the level of silence.  When you
get into the outlying areas, especially down south, in
some of the less populous areas, meditation becomes 
just something you surrender to, not something you do.
The level of silence is that profound.  In Paris, there
is an astounding level of silence for a city this large
and dynamic, but it's not the same.

Hope this helps,

Another subset of the anti-cult types, interestingly

YES. Yes, he was my first boss. We left on the same day the press, he
for 6 month course and I for phase I. (After him Eberhard overtook 
the press. With whom I spent most time. I think he is still doing it,
and whatever is still there from the machines went to India, to
Japalbur,) After his course I heard he went to Muktananda, who had
seen Maharishi in 76 in Seelisberg. After Muktananda he went to Osho.
He organized the first Sannyas discos in Germany that were a big
success. I met him again only in 1993 when I sat next to him in
Lucknow at Poonjaji. He told me that there was another guy in the
press who was enlightened called Arjuna, whith whom he was in the US.
At that time he was living in the US and had a japanese wife AFAIK. I
saw Arjuna just two weeks ago, when he came to our place.

  On Purusha I found a similar situation with acertain group of people
  which was self-selected, that is the people whom you liked to hang out
  with. That was not necessarily your official group. When I left, that
  is, I had to leave - it was ultimately decided by Maharishi himself -
  as I had but this enquiry where I belonged to before him - I was
  already deeply committed to Mother Meera -
 
 Are you still with her?

Yes.

 That's for taking the time to write what you've been writing. Very
balanced
 and insightful.

Thank you.

[FairfieldLife] Re: The Relative

2005-06-22 Thread Irmeli Mattsson
I cannot understand how this kind of theoretical, intellectual
speculation can help a person to evolve. If we knew how higher stages
of consciousness than ours are, that knowing would be inevitably
wrong, only a different way to organize our present stage of
consciousness outwardly. With your present eyes, you just cannot see
how the world looks like, when seen with much more accurate eyes that
can perceive dimensions, your eyes cannot.

 We cannot adopt a higher stage of consciousness than ours that way,
we can only imitate it. And that imitation can even become a hindrance
for further growth. We evolve best by uncovering the limitations and
illusions of the perceptions our present stage creates. If the process
of imitating takes up most of your attention, very little attention is
left to uncovering the contradictions of our present stage. Often the
hypocrisy that goes with imitation forms a safe hiding place for rigid
and false thought forms.
 
On the other hand we can for moments get peak experiences, experience
glimpses of higher stages and that can be of help in uncovering  the
illusions that are hidden in our present stage.

At least I have personally not been interested in higher stages. If
you have a rigid preconceived idea, you are less open for the
unexpected, which a new stage will be.

Every thought and every experience regardless of how pure, subtle and
transcendental it feels, when perceived in and through a physical body
and nervous system, is always  in the relative. We can only talk about
the absolute, we cannot experience it.

 omnipresent, at every point. That would make it less relative than

  But hey, maybe he read Dianetics first.
 
 As I think I've mentioned before here, I doubt he's 
 ever really read anything of the literature of 
 Scientology or any other spiritual tradition.  But
 Maharishi had a strong core follower in the early
 days of the movement who had been L. Ron Hubbard's
 personal secretary for many, many years, and she
 probably told him a few things about Hubbard.

Right. I am of course not referring to the TM itself, but to the
explanation that is given especially at the second day checking, that
is stress release, and thought being an expression of it. The idea
that stresses, for example emotional are restored in the body and upon
release are giving rise to thought activity. The idea that the thought
will be not necessarily exact, but could respond by association. That
there is a mixture, i.e. a cluster of stress released. That there is a
cycle. Its not the same, but you feel that he modelled it after the
auditing model of Dianetics. In a similar way, MMY has expressed his
admiration for Yogananda, and overtook things from him, most notably a
vebatim quote from one of  Y's books in the secret steps.

 I remember at Squaw Valley 1968 she mentioned her
 personal feelings that Hubbard was probably the 
 most brilliant man she had ever met, but was at
 the same time (in her exact word) certifiable.
 She felt that he had a streak of paranoia that
 influenced everything he ever did or wrote.

Hubbard was a colorful personaility to say the least. Just last night
I did some internet research on all I could get hold on about
scientology. I have clearly experienced how through enlightenment
experiences concepts vanish, and realized that our conditioning is
holding us back. The idea to work on this conditioning is therefore
interesting to me. I found that Hubbard was obviously a big fan of
Aleister Crowley, and made some very secret mackic rituals with one of
his disciples called Jack Parson, he even overtook his girlfriend. 
http://www.religio.de/atack/occ1.html
There is also some speculation that the word Dianetics is reminescent
of the Goddess Diana. Hubbard had appearances of a goddess he called
the Empress. Scientology became an amalgan between psychotherapy,
mackic and basically gnostic thought. In its later stages, from OT3
on, it becomes a sort of psychotherapeutic exorcism. There is a
strange story called OT3,a sort of science fiction fairy tale you can
read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenu
 which accounts for the existence of quasy demonic uncounscious
souls,which occupy our body limbs by the thousands according to
Hubbard,and are conscequently exorcised,i.e. liberated through
auditing from OT3 to OT7.
See http://www.xs4all.nl/~kspaink/fishman/index2.html

Re: [FairfieldLife] A Sense of Sangha (was Re: balancing techniques)

2005-06-22 Thread Vaj
I have followed with some interest the career of rocket scientist John 
Jack Parsons and Hubbard. In fact Parsons just had a new biography 
published.

Hubbard and Parsons worked together on a ritual called the Babalon 
working which was a rite to incarnate Babalon, essentially a form of 
Kali, in human form. The idea was that this would be Parson's spiritual 
mate who could help him manifest anything, including complete 
enlightenment. Well something backfired. As the ritual working came to 
climax, Parson ended up killing himself in an explosion at Cal Tech and 
Hubbard got the manifested form of Babalon as his wife. Shortly 
thereafter Hubbard begins his rise to power.

This is all very Gnostic. In fact if one looks closely at Hubbards 
system, it clearly has parallels to the Neoplatonic idea of the *idios 
daemon*--the personal Daemon (not to be confused with *demon*). The 
same practice is what became the ideal of the Holy Guardian Angel. 
Its primary practice is that of Knowledge and Conversation with the 
Holy Guardian Angel. Correct completion of this path often manifests 
as an elaborate system of attaining various ends, mundane and 
spiritual, not unlike what Scientology has become in our modern 
scientific era. The parallels between Scientology and Knowledge and 
Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel are undeniable in my opinion, 
there are just too many examples in that system for it to be otherwise. 
Given both Parson's and Hubbard's interests, one only has to look as 
far as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn for a source of these 
ideas. Unfortunately it seems the purity of that system of attainment 
seems to have been obscured in Scientology as is often the case in any 
institution or hierarchical system.

In any event, its interesting to see how a western tradition of 
enlightenment can manifest in a scientific era.

Claudio's questions seem (to me at least) to show that he is seeing

that Brahman or Wholeness resides AS fully in the manifest, 
relative point as in the unmanifest, absolute Ocean. No 
difference. A natural progression from this would seem to be the 
realization that one's Wholeness is potentially as free to be ANY 
point-self as to be one's habitual point-self: what I would 
(habitually) call Krishna Consciousness. Again, just a matter of 
putting a bit of attention on what has been here all along. :-)

The funny thing is that while I'm inwardly attentive to vibrations and
sound, outwardly the case is the opposite. I have some difficulties to
attentively follow speech. While studying I often felt I couldn't
follow the lecturer and understood very little of the lecture. When I
got home and had a look at my notes, I could often easily grasp 
everything.
I'm an engineer and have been quite good in solving complicated
problems, but only when they are drawn and written on the paper. If
somebody tries to explain the problem to me by speaking, I have
difficulties in understanding and solving it. So outwardly I'm much
more visual.

Similar idea, who's to say the experience is the same unless both were

It isn't exclusively linked to anything. The Self is distinctly free

This has been my experience when I still my mind. All thoughts go 
away, and yet I can still perceive something else, pure 
consciousness, the Self. It is odd because it feels like me, but try 
as I might I can't locate the attachment point, through thought or 
the senses. 

Sometimes I will even imagine being attached to It just to satisfy 
some remnant of ego or habit, though when I focus on it, there is 
truly no attachment. It is like pressing on foam to leave an 
impression, and no matter how hard I press, there is no impression 
left.

snip  It would only be a true 
 cosmic Self if, moving from infinity to point, it no longer is 
 exclusively linked to the original point body, since Self is 
 omnipresent, at every point. That would make it less relative 
than 
 before, since it would now be linked with an infinity of points 
of 
 perception. 

Exactly. 

Though I am unsure about the next step- how the perception of the 
Self begins to extend to everything else 'out there'. Conceptually, 
yes, but experientially, not yet constant.

My question though is, if in enlightenment the Knower is the 
"infinite" Self, no longer the "point" ego, which effectively gets 
overridden (apart from its organizing functions), then you are left with a 
Self and a perceiving body. There might well be an experience of "Self in 
all beings/ all beings in Self" but how true can that be if it remains 
exclusively linked to the original "point" body and its perceptions? 


-This is the problem, identifying with the body 
as if it's a point. The body is infinite. The self is absolute, not infinite. A 
point of identification is the absolute identifying with some snapshot of the 
infinite. There are no points. There are merely snapshots. As soon as the camera 
eye of the absolute has finished with its picture the scene has changed. How 
mant times does your pet, or baby do something cute, and you yell for the wife, 
and then she comes running, and the pet, or baby won't do it again? 
Snapshot, snapshot, snapshot, snapshot. 

And then we get hung up on the better pitcures of 
yesterday when our hair blew just right, and Kali didn't appear so lustful in 
our own eyes. All beings are linked, even in the snapshot. Didn't you see the 
dolphin in the ocean behind the subject, and the water sprites in the cloud 
dipping their heads into the underside of the gray foam of their world. What 
about the baby which raised it's hand too the twinkling sunlight refracted of 
your lens. 


As such it's just like a glorified relative ego blessed with 
blissful oceanic feelings. 


-Except that unlike the horny housewife who is 
identifying with herwet snatch (whoas been having a midlife crises 
for the last ten years), and the postman-as-divinely-handy-tool, (Thank you 
Jesus), except that, the enlightened aren't really identifying with their 
vagina, wet or dry, no, they are a circumference without any point for fastening 
upon. And so also, when the postman turnes them down, or they are to shy to 
invite him in, they release the horns, and don't treat their husbands like shit 
when they get home. Or they refasten the horns and work their man over, to his 
surprise. You see the enlightened is not afraid to try something new, since they 
aren't just a snapshot. Snapshot. The enlightened wife has a lucky husband who 
comes home to the field of all possibilities.


It would only be a true cosmic Self if, moving from infinity to 
"point", it no longer is exclusively linked to the original "point" body, 


The problem is using TM-speak which is 
relative, and based not upon the Sanskrit basis for the philosophy but is based 
in the English or other language and is the interpretation of an interpretation. 
In Tibetan they have five words for thought, five for mind, and so 
on

The body is an amazing thing. Really amazing. Think 
how flexible and beautiful it is. And what is it? It's billions of individual 
cells. When you are speaking of a point body, what's your point? Which point? 
And even in that point are more points. Iin the cell is an atom of particles, 
and smaller points beyond. What one finds is the self same field of the 
absolute, and no points, no motion, nothing being created, or dying. Nothing but 
an absolute. That's is. Snap. Snap.


since Self is omnipresent, at every point. That would make it less 
"relative" than before, since it would now be linked with an infinity of 
"points" of perception. You mention omniscience.. well if there is only ONE 
Knower anyway... presumably in Unity this happens? Otherwise again it 
would be a "point" hallucinating "infinity", with no "reality" to 
it.

Snapshot. 
A better question is why am I happy sometimes but not at 
others?

 Well, I have to admit to having been somewhat lazy with
 the development of my French.  I work for a French company,
 but one in the computer industry (which runs on English)
 and in which everyone speaks English, and in which all of
 the documentation and training materials and programs I
 write are done in English.  So there has been (fortunately
 for me in terms of finding work, unfortunately for me in
 terms of learning French) not the immersion factor at
 work that would have improved my French drastically.
 
 I can read most things in French, and understand most of
 what is said.  My weakness is in speaking French well.  I
 can get by, but French grammar is very precise, and my
 French is, as yet, far from precise.  I have the same
 problems everyone has -- with the gender of nouns, the
 exact verb form to use, etc.  But I'm working on it.  This
 summer I get to live in a small town in the south, where
 almost no one speaks English, so I will finally be forced
 into the immersion scenario I need to progress.
 
 The more general answer to your question is that you can
 get by adequately in Paris knowing very little French,
 because English has emerged as the international language
 of tourism, just as it is the international language of
 business and computing.  But in the smaller towns and
 provinces, you'd be much happier knowing more French.
 
 IMO, the best way to learn whether one really has a feel
 for France or not is to visit, and travel around.  There
 is an old saying here that is completely accurate -- 
 There is Paris, and then there is France.  The two are
 not synonymous.  Paris, although arguably one of the world's
 most beautiful and livable cities, is not France.  It's 
 Paris, its own universe.  The outlying areas of France
 are very, very, very different.  Most different, for a 
 meditator, in terms of the level of silence.  When you
 get into the outlying areas, especially down south, in
 some of the less populous areas, meditation becomes 
 just something you surrender to, not something you do.
 The level of silence is that profound.  In Paris, there
 is an astounding level of silence for a city this large
 and dynamic, but it's not the same.

Thanks for the insight and travelogue of sorts- somewhere on my 
dream list is to visit Paris.

Well, she's obviously a comedienne.It takes guts 
to say what others are stupidly thinking. She's not much different from 
Maharishi, except it's hard to figure out what his point is. 

At any rate, it's like the other day. While we were 
screwing my wife said, "Why are you smiling." I said, "Cause you're a 
sucker." We both had a good fucking laugh about that.

I can read most things in French, and understand most of
what is said.  My weakness is in speaking French well.  I
can get by, but French grammar is very precise, and my
French is, as yet, far from precise.  I have the same
problems everyone has -- with the gender of nouns, the
exact verb form to use, etc.  But I'm working on it.  This
summer I get to live in a small town in the south, where
almost no one speaks English, so I will finally be forced
into the immersion scenario I need to progress.

The more general answer to your question is that you can
get by adequately in Paris knowing very little French,
because English has emerged as the international language
of tourism, just as it is the international language of
business and computing.  But in the smaller towns and
provinces, you'd be much happier knowing more French.

IMO, the best way to learn whether one really has a feel
for France or not is to visit, and travel around.  There
is an old saying here that is completely accurate -- 
There is Paris, and then there is France.  The two are
not synonymous.  Paris, although arguably one of the world's
most beautiful and livable cities, is not France.  It's 
Paris, its own universe.  The outlying areas of France
are very, very, very different.  Most different, for a 
meditator, in terms of the level of silence.  When you
get into the outlying areas, especially down south, in
some of the less populous areas, meditation becomes 
just something you surrender to, not something you do.
The level of silence is that profound.  In Paris, there
is an astounding level of silence for a city this large
and dynamic, but it's not the same.

Hope this helps,

Unc

  

I stumbled through almost 4 years of French: two years high school and 
two years college.  French teachers back then didn't make it very easy 
to learn as they were mainly France afficianados. Frenchaphiles?   These 
days there are many good courses either on the Internet or some of the 
books.   I have several Hindi book and tape courses but I found the 
easiest to get into was the BK book.  So also wanting learn Spanish 
(which is something I can practice a lot more here in the US) I also 
ordered the BK course on that which I found disappointing and found a 
government web site that looked more promising.

Also the French I learned was Parisian French and it was difficult to 
understand the Vittel villagers and if I tried to speak French in 
Bairritz they would just tell you to speak English because they had 
many tourists from England and so many people their knew English.

Au revoir,
Bhairitu

[FairfieldLife] UCLA student newspaper interview MMY

2005-06-22 Thread bbrigante
In this interview, UCLA student reporter Rachel Kelley asks Maharishi 
about the role of students in changing the world, how the 
Transcendental Meditation technique can improve effectiveness, and 
the best question of all—What is enlightenment?
Reporter: My name is Rachel Kelley and I am a reporter with the UCLA 
Daily Bruin newspaper, and I am doing a story on the Transcendental 
Meditation program. And I was wondering if I could ask you some 
questions.

Maharishi: Yes, yes.

Reporter: Okay, thanks.

Maharishi: Transcendental Meditation is a very old story. So, yes, 
ask some new questions.

Reporter: I have heard that you talked about enlightenment as being 
easy, and I was wondering what exactly you mean by enlightenment?

Maharishi: Enlightenment means lack of darkness, absence of darkness. 
And absence of darkness means no mistake, no weakness, no shortcoming—
success everywhere, fulfillment of desire everywhere. That is 
enlightenment. One is living in full accord with Natural Law. 
Spontaneously Nature is supporting us: then we are not in the dark 
about anything.

Reporter: And can anyone learn the TM technique? What does it require?

Maharishi: It requires just a desire to learn, and as anything is 
learned from a teacher, Transcendental Meditation is also learned 
from the teacher. For these 40 years, millions of people are learning 
TM, and they're gaining enlightenment. That means they are becoming 
more and more in accord with Natural Law. That means greater success 
all the time, no mistakes in life, no harm to anyone—that is 
enlightenment through Transcendental Meditation.

Reporter: What do you feel is the value of students learning the TM 
technique?

Maharishi: The student life is to gain as much knowledge as possible, 
and if possible, total knowledge. So when they learn Transcendental 
Meditation, they also learn the principles of Transcendental 
Meditation—total knowledge.

Transcendental Consciousness is the Unified Field of all the Laws of 
Nature—Unified Field, you know? This quantum field theory has 
established, that there is one Unified Field of all the Laws of 
Nature at the basis of all creativity of Natural Law. So when one 
transcends, one gets into that level of intelligence, which is all-
knowingness. This is enlightenment. And one spontaneously begins to 
think better in every way—better means in every way—right for 
everyone, useful for everyone, and quickly achieving the desire. That 
is enlightenment.

And the life of the student is to develop all knowledge that is 
possible, to gain all creativity that is possible. There is an 
infinite degree of creativity in the consciousness of everyone, and 
Transcendental Meditation unfolds that, very easily, very simply, so 
total knowledge can be gained by every student. So the purpose of a 
student career, the purpose of gaining education, can be fulfilled 
through the practice of Transcendental Meditation.

Reporter: What do you think students can do for the world?

Maharishi: They can re-create the world. The world must be redone, it 
must be re-established. And basically there is only one thing to 
restructure the world, and that is enlightenment for everyone.

Reporter: People in the United States don't normally associate ease 
with effectiveness, so how does the TM technique encompass both?

Maharishi: Transcendental Meditation makes the active mind fully 
silent, spontaneously, and that silence remains when one comes out of 
meditation, then the mind remains silent and remains active—silent 
and active. Just like a businessman goes to the bank and he comes 
out, his pocket full, and he moves around in the market very easily, 
and he does not have to struggle to gain profit in the market if he 
has money in the pocket. Like that, the inner creativity from 
Transcendental Meditation comes out and then, with increased 
creativity, people don't have to work that hard.

The principle of Transcendental Meditation is: no hardness in life. 
This great principle is—do less and accomplish more. In the principle 
of shooting an arrow with great force, we just pull the arrow back 
and release—it will go very far and hit the target with great force. 
So success is not gained through hard work: success is gained by 
having the infinite organizing power of Natural Law in our favor. So 
Transcendental Meditation brings the favor of Natural Law—brings the 
creativity of Natural Law, which governs the whole universe—so 
everything becomes very easy for the Meditators to achieve.

Reporter: How would you respond to students who are afraid of putting 
themselves in such a deep rest state because that feeling is so 
foreign to them?

Maharishi: No, No. Everyone knows sleeping is very natural. No one 
has to work hard to sleep. So resting is a natural process. One 
rests, one feels better, one feels relaxed. `Work hard' is a wrong 
principle. Only, one should draw the mind inward, pull the arrow and 
release. This is the way to fulfill our

Abstract
Most complementary medicine is distinguished by not being supported 
by underlying theory accepted by Western science. However, for those 
who accept their validity, complementary and alternative medicine 
(CAM) modalities offer clues to understanding physiology and medicine 
more deeply. Ayurveda and vibrational medicine are stimulating new 
approaches to biological regulation. The new biophysics can be 
integrated to yield a single consistent theory, which may well 
underly much of CAM—a true `physics of physick'. The resulting theory 
seems to be a new, fundamental theory of health and etiology. It 
suggests that many CAM approaches to health care are scientifically 
in advance of those based on current Western biology. Such theories 
may well constitute the next steps in our scientific understanding of 
biology itself. If successfully developed, these ideas could result 
in a major paradigm shift in both biology and medicine, which will 
benefit all interested parties—consumers, health professionals, 
scientists, institutions and governments.

Introduction
In the past decades, the public have turned to therapies of 
complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) on a scale that 
ministries of health were unprepared for, and which is driving the 
present revolution in patterns of health care (1–6).

One reason is the increased incidence of chronic disease, and the 
natural concern of many people to leave no stone unturned in their 
search for an end to the suffering of themselves, or their nearest 
and dearest, particularly if someone they trust has found relief. It 
is commonplace that the increase in mean ages of their populations is 
driving the increase in chronic disease in developed countries (7). 
As baby boomers come up to retirement, a crisis in public health 
looms that will stretch the budgets of all economies.

Currently, orthodox biomedicine has no power to cure these diseases. 
Indeed, that is the only reason orthodox medicine lumps such 
illnesses together in the category it terms `chronic', introducing 
the terms `chronic disease care' (8) and `chronic disease management' 
(9) to indicate that the best it can offer is being done for them.

On past experience, conventional medicine will only discover cures 
for chronic diseases slowly. It is therefore imperative for all 
concerned that other avenues of approach to the problem are explored. 
Wherever CAM modalities can be shown to offer cheaper or more problem-
free alternatives to conventional practice in managing chronic 
disease, they will potentially provide welcome relief for Ministries 
of Health and their Exchequers alike. If such CAM therapies also 
offer fewer side effects than drug therapies, they will be welcomed 
by consumers. Any CAM modalities that were shown to provide reliable 
cure for a presently incurable chronic pathology should be doubly 
welcomed.

One of the problems that faces governments in providing funding for 
CAM therapies, however, is the continued lack of understanding of 
what they can offer and how they work. On the one hand, the evidence 
base of complementary medicine is increasing, an important factor

[FairfieldLife] infinity to PointS (was the relative)

2005-06-22 Thread claudiouk
Many thanks for all the responses, not sure how to address them all.. 
They helped me think more about the question and hopefully some 
resolution is taking place somewhere in my brain

58385... Irmeli Mattsson

 I cannot understand how this kind of theoretical, intellectual 
speculation can help a person to evolve... If you have a rigid 
preconceived idea, you are less open for the
unexpected, which a new stage will be. 

MMY often emphasized the importance of understanding along with 
direct experience, for one's evolution. I agree that imitating a 
state of consciousness from some cultural transmission is pointless, 
but theoretical discussions can hopefully reduce confusion and be 
inspiring and motivating. I imagine that direct experience would 
override and automatically stretch any limiting  preconceptions.

 Every thought and every experience regardless of how .. 
transcendental it feels, when perceived in and through a physical 
body and nervous system, is always in the relative. We can only talk 
about the absolute, we cannot experience it.

In MMY's schema, this is the point to infinity bit, only you're 
saying that any and all experience is relative. But the Knower is 
Absolute so from the infinity to point perspective why are we stuck 
with the relative experience associated with THIS point body and not 
others, given that the Knower inhabits other bodies simultaneously. 

58396 ... Rory Goff

Brahman or Wholeness resides AS fully in the manifest,
relative point as in the unmanifest, absolute Ocean. No
difference. A natural progression from this would seem to be the
realization that one's Wholeness is potentially as free to be ANY
point-self as to be one's habitual point-self:

Yes Infinity (= Wholeness = Unmanifest/Absolute = Self) is 
omnipresent at every Point (= manifest, relative = self). So why is 
the consciosness/Knower remain linked to the habitual point self if 
it is free to be ANY point-self ?

58405...  jim_flanegin 

 The Self is distinctly free from any sense of personal 
identification.It is perceived by the original 'point' body, but is 
not actually connected to it.It is odd because it feels like me, 
but try as I might I can't locate the attachment point, through 
thought or the senses.

Yes  identification dissolves when going from point to infinity.

 Though I am unsure about the next step- how the perception of the 
Self begins to extend to everything else 'out there'. Conceptually, 
yes, but experientially, not yet constant.

This infinity to pointS is the tricky bit. I myself can't speak from 
experience, but am interested in it conceptually (as part of some 
understanding of the possibilities of higher states of 
consciousness). Not sure for instance how it relates to Unity.

58408 ... Llundrub

 This is the problem, identifying with the body as if it's a point. 
The body is infinite. The self is absolute, not infinite. A point of 
identification is the absolute identifying with some snapshot of the 
infinite. There are no points. There are merely snapshots.

I like MMY's spacial schema point to infinity = relative to 
Absolute. You seem to prefer a temporal model based on snapshots. 
Both space and time are involved in the relative. And yes a point is 
equivalent to a snapshot of the infinite. 

 All beings are linked, even in the snapshot.

That is true even from our unenlightened consciousness. But we 
experience ourselves as separate points/snapshots - even, it seems, 
in the Absolute to Relative/Infinity to Point situation.

When you are speaking of a point body, what's your point? Which 
point? And even in that point are more points.

Very true in terms of a Unified Field chart but what is relevant here 
is the sensory ego-point , and its experiential separateness from 
others, in spite of the Wholeness underlying the snapshot.

 A better question is why am I happy sometimes but not at others

Presumably the camera angle.. but what happens when one takes an 
infinite number of snapshots all at once (infinity to pointS) or is 
only one snapshot allowed at each successive moment (infinity to 
point)?

58259 ...Irmeli Mattsson

 My present understanding of the seemingly complicated phenomenon 
of consciousness evolution is strongly influenced by spiral 
dynamicsAnd how you interpret and describe your enlightenment 
experience depends largely, in addition to cultural influences, on 
the stages of organizing I you are in. The lower you are the more 
extravagant those interpretations tend to be. I think there are still 
a lot of inexperienced stages and possibilities ahead us in the 
evolution of the organizing I. In order to evolve to those higher 
stages I think the awakening of the first I to be a prerequisite.

I found the spiral dynamics notion very interesting. Although this 
unfoldment of Is relates to stages in the point to infinity 
and infinity to point - and goodness knows there is an eternity of 
snapshots on the videotape there to keep us

It is all point-selves of oneself, and one can (to whatever degree) 
emerge from the Ocean to experience any specific wave one attends 
to. However, generally it would seem that habit keeps one focussed 
more or less in the original bodymind if there is no particular 
need/desire at any given moment to experience/heal other point-selves 
or aspects of oneself.

  Maharishi had a strong core follower in the early

 Right. I am of course not referring to the TM itself, but to the
 explanation that is given especially at the second day checking, 
that
 is stress release, and thought being an expression of it. The idea
 that stresses, for example emotional are restored in the body and 
upon
 release are giving rise to thought activity. The idea that the 
thought
 will be not necessarily exact, but could respond by association. 
That
 there is a mixture, i.e. a cluster of stress released. That there 
is a
 cycle.

But this is exactly what the samskaras are in the Yogic tradition. 
Ever occur to you that maybe Hubbard was familiar with THAT?


 Its not the same, but you feel that he modelled it after the
 auditing model of Dianetics. In a similar way, MMY has expressed his
 admiration for Yogananda, and overtook things from him, most 
notably a
 vebatim quote from one of  Y's books in the secret steps.
 
  I remember at Squaw Valley 1968 she mentioned her
  personal feelings that Hubbard was probably the 
  most brilliant man she had ever met, but was at
  the same time (in her exact word) certifiable.
  She felt that he had a streak of paranoia that
  influenced everything he ever did or wrote.
 
 Hubbard was a colorful personaility to say the least. Just last 
night
 I did some internet research on all I could get hold on about
 scientology. I have clearly experienced how through enlightenment
 experiences concepts vanish, and realized that our conditioning is
 holding us back. The idea to work on this conditioning is therefore
 interesting to me. I found that Hubbard was obviously a big fan of
 Aleister Crowley, and made some very secret mackic rituals with one 
of
 his disciples called Jack Parson, he even overtook his girlfriend. 
 http://www.religio.de/atack/occ1.html
 There is also some speculation that the word Dianetics is 
reminescent
 of the Goddess Diana. Hubbard had appearances of a goddess he called
 the Empress. Scientology became an amalgan between psychotherapy,
 mackic and basically gnostic thought. In its later stages, from OT3
 on, it becomes a sort of psychotherapeutic exorcism. There is a
 strange story called OT3,a sort of science fiction fairy tale you 
can
 read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenu
  which accounts for the existence of quasy demonic uncounscious
 souls,which occupy our body limbs by the thousands according to
 Hubbard,and are conscequently exorcised,i.e. liberated through
 auditing from OT3 to OT7.
 See http://www.xs4all.nl/~kspaink/fishman/index2.html
 There is also a controversy about that according to sci religious
 ideas have been implanted by the 'bad guy' xenu intohuman brains in
 order to control us called R6. In the highest level OT8 one 
alledgedly
 has to abondan these ideas see
 http://www.xs4all.nl/~kspaink/fishman/ot8b.html This is clearly
 gnostic thought,were the creator of the heavens is being looked down
 at as basically the imprisoner of thought. So scientology does 
retain
 its originally gnostic/mackic attribute. In having a great emphazis 
on
 reincarnation, karma, release of karma, identifying ourselves as 
Gods,
 it is much closer to Hindu and Buddhist philosophy than to 
Xthianity,
 which I think is a good thing. It also seems that the everage
 practitioner is not necessarily acquqainted with these higher
 philosophical aspects, and simply uses the tools to become more
 'aware' about his own conditioning, and releases it in a
 non-judgemental way. I came across webpages of people who parted 
with
 the organization for ovious reasons, but still did auditing, also of
 the higher levels, and there are independed organizations offering 
it,
 like http://freezoneamerica.org/

Is John Konhaus the mysterious Guy Banner?  humm.
   
   Don't think so. Guy Banner said he had to build a Peace 
Palace. 
  Konhaus is
   Raja of the whole West Coast and French Polynesia.
  
  Including Nauru?
 
 Well, FWIW, hereabouts nauru = laughter...

Nauru, of course, is that Island Nation that was at one time the 
richest country on Earth because the natives had sold the bird-
dropping-rich land from underneath them to the Aussies for 
billions...then the natives used up all their money really fast and 
now most of them are impoverished again...thus proving Zig Ziglar's 
axiom that if you took all the money from everyone in the U.S. and 
then divided it equally amongst everyone that within 6 months 
everyone that was rich before would have all their money back as 
they had it before...
