[FairfieldLife] Re: The new night technique? (a double-edge sword?)
Peter, Judy and all, In my waking consciousness today, I went to see an Egyptian exhibit at the new De Young Museum in San Francisco, CA. The dream last night was some kind of a premonition of what was to come later on the day. The zombies appear to have represented the various Egyptian statues and artifacts, including a sarcophagus, that I saw at the museum. The young girl and the mother in the dream represented all the families that packed the museum floor. Any of them could have come from various parts of the country, including Virginia. By the way, for those who are planning to visit San Francisco in the near future, you should definitely see the De Young Museum.

[FairfieldLife] Sweet Dreams Are Made of Cheese
Sweet Dreams Are Made Of Cheese The age old myth that cheese gives you nightmares has finally been laid to rest this week following the release of a new study carried out by the British Cheese Board. The in-depth Cheese & Dreams study, a first of its kind, reveals that eating cheese before bed will not only aid a good night's sleep but different cheeses will in fact cause different types of dreams Different Cheeses for Different Dreams Red Leicester proved to be brilliant for helping participants to get a good night's sleep one quarter slept well every single night of the study, and 83% of all nights under the influence of Red Leicester were good sleep experiences. As for dreams, Red Leicester is the cheese to choose if you are feeling nostalgic about your past over 60% of participants eating this cheese revisited their schooldays, or long-lost childhood friends, or previous family homes and hometowns. Stilton-eating participants enjoyed their sleep too over two thirds had good sleep experiences during five out of the seven nights. However, if you want some vivid or crazy dreams, the King of British cheeses is the one for you particularly if you are female. While 75% of men in this category experienced odd and vivid dreams, a massive 85% of females who ate Stilton had some of the most bizarre dreams of the whole study although none were described as bad experiences. Highlights included talking soft toys, lifts that move sideways, a vegetarian crocodile upset because it could not eat children, dinner party guests being traded for camels, soldiers fighting with each other with kittens instead of guns and a party in a lunatic asylum. British Brie caused all participants to sleep very well, but dreams varied between males and females; women tended to experience very nice dreams, such as Jamie Oliver cooking dinner in their kitchens, or relaxing on a sunny beach. By contrast, the men who ate Brie experienced rather odd, obscure dreams, such as driving against a battleship, or having a drunken conversation with a dog. If you are thinking of changing career, or just suspect there could be a slightly more ideal job out there, snack on a lump of creamy Lancashire before bed and you might get some guidance; two thirds of all Lancashire participants had a dream about work but only 30% of these involved the participants' real-life occupations. One ambitious dreamer saw herself as a successful Prime Minister - one of her popular reforms involved teaching useful finance in schools, including how to choose the right mortgage. Cheddar -eating participants tended to dream of celebrities, ranging from the participant's family sitting in a pub with Jordan, to a Glaswegian old firm football match with Gazza and Ally McCoist. Ashley from Coronation Street also featured, as did the cast of Emmerdale - and one lucky girl helped to form a human pyramid under the supervision of Johnny Depp. However, if you just want a good night's sleep without too many dreams, then choose lovely crumbly Cheshire . In this category, over half of all nights were dreamless, while participants stated that 76% of all Cheshire-induced sleeps were either "quite good" or "very good". http://www.cheeseboard.co.uk/news.cfm?page_id=240 Yahoo!

In the mou.org Press Conference 26 June 2002, Maharishi said: "India is the only country which can assume a parental role for every country of the world with this knowledge of the Veda, with this total knowledge of Natural Law, the Will of God.

I'm not a dream reader, but I read something once that made instant sense to me and that has helped me have some very useful insights into my own dreams: Every character (and significant object) in a dream should be understood as symbolic of--a metaphor for-- some aspect of yourself. (The sole exceptions are members of your immediate family, who "play themselves.") I don't know whether this is "right" or not, but it seems eminently plausible. In any case, it's not clear that there is any "right" interpretation of a dream, or rather that any interpretation you make is "right" in some sense: it isn't the dream, in other words, that is meaningful, so much as what you make of it.

[FairfieldLife] Happy Kwanzaa everybody!
Kwanzaa: A Holiday from the FBI
By Ann Coulter
FrontPageMagazine.com | December 29, 2005
President Bush's 2005 Kwanzaa message began with the patently absurd
statement: "African-Americans and people around the world reflect on
African heritage during Kwanzaa."
I believe more African-Americans spent this season reflecting on the
birth of Christ than some phony non-Christian holiday invented a few
decades ago by an FBI stooge. Kwanzaa is a holiday for white
liberals, not blacks.
It is a fact that Kwanzaa was invented in 1966 by a black radical
FBI stooge, Ron Karenga, aka Dr. Maulana Karenga. Karenga was a
founder of United Slaves, a violent nationalist rival to the Black
Panthers and a dupe of the FBI.
In what was probably ultimately a foolish gamble, during the madness
of the '60s the FBI encouraged the most extreme black nationalist
organizations in order to discredit and split the left. The more
preposterous the organization, the better. Karenga's United Slaves
was perfect. In the annals of the American '60s, Karenga was the
Father Gapon, stooge of the czarist police.
Despite modern perceptions that blend all the black activists of
the '60s, the Black Panthers did not hate whites. They did not seek
armed revolution. Those were the precepts of Karenga's United
Slaves. United Slaves were proto-fascists, walking around in
dashikis, gunning down Black Panthers and adopting
invented "African" names. (That was a big help to the black
community: How many boys named "Jamal" currently sit on death row?)
Whether Karenga was a willing dupe, or just a dupe, remains unclear.
Curiously, in a 1995 interview with Ethnic NewsWatch, Karenga matter-
of-factly explained that the forces out to get O.J. Simpson for
the "framed" murder of two whites included: "the FBI, the CIA, the
State Department, Interpol, the Chicago Police Department" and so
on. Karenga should know about FBI infiltration. (He further noted
that the evidence against O.J. "was not strong enough to prohibit or
eliminate unreasonable doubt" an interesting standard of proof.)
In the category of the-gentleman-doth-protest-too-much, back in
the '70s, Karenga was quick to criticize rumors that black radicals
were government-supported. When Nigerian newspapers claimed that
some American black radicals were CIA operatives, Karenga publicly
denounced the idea, saying, "Africans must stop generalizing about
the loyalties and motives of Afro-Americans, including the
widespread suspicion of black Americans being CIA agents."
Now we know that the FBI fueled the bloody rivalry between the
Panthers and United Slaves. In one barbarous outburst, Karenga's
United Slaves shot to death Black Panthers Al "Bunchy" Carter and
Deputy Minister John Huggins on the UCLA campus. Karenga himself
served time, a useful stepping-stone for his current position as a
black studies professor at California State University at Long
Beach.
Kwanzaa itself is a lunatic blend of schmaltzy '60s rhetoric, black
racism and Marxism. Indeed, the seven "principles" of Kwanzaa praise
collectivism in every possible arena of life economics, work,
personality, even litter removal. ("Kuumba: Everyone should strive
to improve the community and make it more beautiful.") It takes a
village to raise a police snitch.
When Karenga was asked to distinguish Kawaida, the philosophy
underlying Kwanzaa, from "classical Marxism," he essentially
explained that under Kawaida, we also hate whites. While taking
the "best of early Chinese and Cuban socialism" which one assumes
would exclude the forced abortions, imprisonment for homosexuals and
forced labor Kawaida practitioners believe one's racial
identity "determines life conditions, life chances and self-
understanding." There's an inclusive philosophy for you.
(Sing to "Jingle Bells")
Kwanzaa bells, dashikis sell
Whitey has to pay;
Burning, shooting, oh what fun
On this made-up holiday!
Coincidentally, the seven principles of Kwanzaa are the very same
seven principles of the Symbionese Liberation Army, another charming
invention of the Least-Great Generation. In 1974, Patricia Hearst,
kidnap victim-cum-SLA revolutionary, posed next to the banner of her
alleged captors, a seven-headed cobra. Each snake head stood for one
of the SLA's revolutionary principles: Umoja, Kujichagulia, Ujima,
Ujamaa, Nia, Kuumba and Imani the same seven "principles" of
Kwanzaa.
With his Kwanzaa greetings, President Bush is saluting the
intellectual sibling of the Symbionese Liberation Army, killer of
housewives and police. He is saluting the founder of United Slaves,
who were such lunatics that they shot Panthers for not being
sufficiently insane all with the FBI as their covert ally.
It's as if David Duke invented a holiday called "Anglika," and the
president of the United States issued a presidential proclamation
honoring the synthetic holiday. People might well stand up and take
notice if
[FairfieldLife] Re: The new night technique? (a double-edge sword?)
To all members: Witnessing your dreams can be a double-edged sword. Last night, I had a scary and heart-thumping dream (in full technicolor) of zombies hiding behind metal panels and who disappeared, leaving their mortal clothes behind, when a minister flashed a crucifix in their breasts. This was a unique version of the Dracula movies. Then, on the next dream, I met a beautiful young woman who was willing to be my girlfriend and met her mother who was living in a dilapidated house in Virginia, near Washington DC. Are there any dream readers in this forum? If so, please let us know what you think about this story.

[FairfieldLife] JFAN meeting Jan 3 to sign petition
Title: JFAN meeting Jan 3 to sign petition -- Forwarded Message From: JFAN <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thu, 29 Dec 2005 11:02:29 -0800 To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: JFAN meeting Jan 3 to sign petition Dear JFAN friends: On this Tuesday, January 3rd, there will be a meeting at 7:15 pm at the Fairfield Public Library. We urge you to attend to sign a petition against large-scale, corporate-owned factory farms. This petition is being coordinated with six other state-wide groups. It will be presented to Governor Vilsack and other state officials within a week. Other lobbying procedures will also be discussed, such as direct letter writing to elected state office-holders, the making of a video on factory farms, a new Local Control campaign coordinated with Jefferson County officials, and more. Important updates on other JFAN activities will also be presented. Please come! We need your signature and informed participation. Let’s change our legislators’ thinking about factory farms in Iowa. All are welcome. We hope to end by 8:30 pm. Please pass this email on to your friends and neighbors. If you have any questions, call us at 209-6600 or email [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sincerely, JFAN Board P.S. Please note these two important updates: 1. On December 27, the Jefferson County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved another year of the Matrix guidelines that regulate large CAFOs. While limited in scope, this regulation is very important for local citizens. It is the only opportunity for local comment or information on CAFOs planned in the area. 2. A few weeks ago, 80 of you responded to our suggestion to contact the EPC/DNR regarding proposed rules for ground water pollution control for CAFOs. Jefferson County was responsible for the vast majority of the emails sent to the EPC/DNR. That’s fantastic! Thank you! The DNR decided not to ask the EPC for an emergency ruling, but EPC/DNR decided on a 60-day period for public comment. At the December meeting, about 20 citizens spoke in favor of the new rules. Several of the “big guns” from the pork industry and the Iowa Farm Bureau “passed” on their opportunity to comment. It is quite obvious they are marshalling their support to defeat the proposal. Many comments from the public will be needed to outweigh the heavily funded campaign they will be presenting. The next EPC meeting is Jan. 17 and it is VERY important that citizens contact/support the EPC on this new rule regarding licensing requirements. We will be contacting you in the near future about actions you can take. Jefferson County Farmers and Neighbors, Inc. P. O.

However, from what I've been reading, the U.K.'s current problem with alcoholism is significantly more severe than that in the U.S. Yahoo!

Therefore, any such pre- or proscription can be dismissed out of hand; no need to evaluate it on its own terms. Yahoo!

Well, actually, yes. That IS, after all, the real issue. The official movement Kool-Aid says that Bad Things will happen to you if you do anything that they have not approved. Those who drank the Kool-Aid actually believe that. Yahoo!

Jeez, Rick, *you* cited MMY's approval "in certain contexts" to support the discussion of experiences. If you didn't think that lent some legitimacy, why did you even mention it? Yahoo!

Hehe. I'm doing carrot juice, so maybe I'm already doing the essence of the practice :-).They're hyping it as “This nighttime technique will convert nighttime into the path of enlightenment.”Sure sounds like Gaudapada to me.

Widespread alcoholism is probably more destructive of the social fabric than a small percentage of murderous nutters. Caveat for the TNBs: I'm commenting only on the relative harm to a society of the two problems, not defending MMY's rejection of Great Britain.

Britain got on MMY's shitlist when blair got reelected, which upset MMY because blair supported the iraq war. Of course, bush and the US were the prime movers of that war (with blair-britain along for the allied ride), which means the US should really be at the top of the shitlist, which it isn't because the US is still supplying MMY with most of his million dollar course participants and Britain isn't. It's so embarrassingly stupid that people are actually thinking britain has suddenly become some evil country, cherrypicking negative stories from the mass media and ignoring similar stories from every other country in the world.

[FairfieldLife] Aishwarya & Madhurya
>From SSRS: "Usually in places where there is aishwarya (lordship) there is no madhurya (sweetness), and where there is madhurya there is no aishwarya. Where life has blossomed fully, there is both. Aishwarya means ishvaratvaa-lordship of that which 'Is.'...Can love and authority co-exist? Only in a fully blossomed being is there both lordship and sweetness. There was aishwarya in Sri Rama, but only glimpses of madhurya. In Paraashram's life there is only lordship, but no madhurya. Bhudda manifested more madhurya (the sweetness), and less authority. But Krishna manifested both and so did Jesus. There is lordship when they say, 'I am the way!' And there was sweetness in their expressions of prayer and love." __ Yahoo!

I'm not convinced that hearing the experiences of other people helps in any way to prepare you for having similar experiences. I'm more interested in hearing experiences that are similar in some way to experiences I have already *had*. In those cases, sometimes the other person's way of expres- sing things or phrasing things can give me more insight into my own variant of those experiences. Plus, there are certain types of experiences that cannot, almost by definition, be remembered fully. For example, experiences of alternate states of consciousness that one had originally in dreaming. But when someone else speaks of those experiences, sometimes hearing their attempt at remembrance can act as kind of a trigger to help one remember the essence of one's own experience, even though the details of that experience can never be fully remembered in the waking state or expressed in words.

The only value in hearing about others' experiencing is that it is entertaining and it can clarify certain concepts that pertain to higher states of consciousness. Having a quiver of these concepts at your ready is helpful so the mind won't go insane when it starts to experience realization. > > > > > > > > Yahoo!

Thanks I know in Maharishi Vedic Science there is a discussion on the four aspects of non-existence (anyonyabhava, etc.). I believe his is also discussed in MIU/MUM math courses. There was an article on it in the Journal of Vedic Science or whatever it was called. They are him just talking about some observations which exist in Nyaya and Advaita Vedanta.

Its like reading my mantra: my eyes are trained to not dwell on it in general because I become uncomfortable for one reason or another. Likewise with experiences, although MY experiences during/after TM have swung so widely and wildly over the years that I don't put much stock in any experience, my own or anyone else's. Yahoo!

It's a PC thang..."politically correct," that is. Have you ever been to Colorado? They're PC crazy there. The mindset is, "We've been told that X is unhealthy for us. Therefore we don't do X and we're going to do our best to keep you from doing X, too. The more you try to do X, the more we'll try to stop you, because we know how to live better than you do." :-) Just kidding, but not really. What Lawson is describing here is nothing more than WHAT HE WAS TOLD by TM teachers who were only repeating WHAT THEY WERE TOLD. Lawson bought into it, and now feels that there is actually something *wrong* with discussing one's experiences. He's trying to get others to buy into that mindset, so that it doesn't look so weird on him. :-) Yahoo!
