I like what Rick said about being more comfortable about the Trappist model, delivering bread and stuff. And I have no problem whatsoever with someone choosing to live a monastic life. Its just that we have all heard of liberated beings doing whatever they choose to do, and it surely wasn't their habits that got them there, or prevented their liberation. It is a dreamy and sugary thought to associate some sort of gentle pious life with liberation, but in fact there is no connection at all. None. I have grown the most spiritually by doing *exactly* what I choose to, whether that meant smoking or drinking or eating meat or contemplating such actions. All of this false piety leads to suffering in many cases, and does no good whatsoever, because it doesn't resolve the bonds of attachment, it only strengthens them through denial. Resolve attachment through transcendence, not denial. So as the phrase says-- eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die. Well said. Yahoo!

[FairfieldLife] Shankara's supreme commentary on Giitaa 13.13
Especially the phrase an_aadimat paraM brahma which Vaishnavites, I believe,(e.g. Hare Krishnas) prefer to read like this: an_aadi matparaM brahma. English Translation of Sri Sankaracharya's Sanskrit Commentary - Swami Gambhirananda 13.13 Pravaksyami, I shall speak of, fully describe just as it is; tat, that; yat, which; is jenyam, to be known. In order to interest the hearer through inducement, the Lord speaks of what its result is: Jnatva, by realizing; yat, which Knowable; asnute, one attains; amrtam, Immortality, i.e.; he does not die again. Anadimat, without beginning-one having a beginning (adi) is adimat; one not having a beginning is anadimat. What is that? The param, supreme, unsurpassable; brahma, Brahman, which is under discussion as the Knowable. Here, some split up the phrase anadimatparam as anadi and matparam because, if the word anadimat is taken as a Bahuvrihi compound, ['That which has no (an), beginning (adi) is anadi.' Matup (PaaNinian technical grammatical term for the ending 'mat'? -- carde) is used to denote possession. Since the idea of possession is already implied in anadi, therefore matup, if added after it, becomes redundant.] then the suffix mat (matup) becomes redundant, which is undesirable. And they show a distintive meaning: (Brahman is anadi, beginningless, and is) matparam, that of which I am the supreme (para) power called Vasudeva. Trully, the redundance could be avoided in this way if that meanig were possible. But that meaning is not possible, because what is intended is to make Brahman known only through a negation of all attributes by saying, 'It is called neither being nor non-being.' It is contradictory to show a possession of a distinctive power and to negate attributes. Therefore, although matup and a bahuvrihi compound convey the same meaning of 'possession', its (matup's) use is for completing the verse. [The Commentator accepts anadimat as a nan-tatpurusa compund. If, however, the Bahuvrihi is insisted on, then the mat after anadi should be taken as completing the number of syllables needed for versification. So, nat need not be compounded with param.] Having aroused an interest through inducement by saying, 'The Knowable which has Immortality as its result is beeing spoken of by Me,' the Lord says: Tat, that Knowable; ucyate, is called; na sat, neither being; nor is it called asat, non-being. Objection: After strongly girding up the loins and declaring with a loud voice, 'I shall speak of the Knowable,' is it not incongruous to say, 'That is called neither being nor non-being'? Reply: No. What has been said is surely consistent. Objection: How? Reply: For in all the Upanisads, the Knowable, i.e. Brahman, has been indicated only by negation of all attributes-'Not this, not this' (Br. 4.4.22), 'Not gross, not subtle' (op. cit. 3.3.8), etc.; but not as 'That is this', for It is beyond speech. Objection: Is it not that a thing which cannot be expressed by the word 'being' does not exist? Like-wise, if the Knowable cannot be expressed by the word 'being', It does not exist. And it is contradictory to say, 'It is the Knowable', and 'It cannot be expressed by the word being.' Counter-objection: As to that, no that It does not exist, because It is not the object of the idea, 'It is non-being.' Objection: Do not all cognitions verily involve the idea of being or non-being? This being so, the Knowable should either be an object of a cognition involving the idea of existence, or it should be an object of a cognition involving the idea of non-existence. Reply: No, because, by virtue of Its being super-sensuous, It is not an object of cognition involving either, of the two ideas. Indeed, any object perceivable by the senses, such as pot etc., can be either an object of cognition involving the idea of existence, or it can be an object of cognition involving the idea of non-existence. But this Knowable, being supersensuous and known from the scriptures, which are the sole means of (Its) knowledge, is not, like pot etc., an object of cognition involving either of the two ideas. Therefore It is called neither being nor non-being. As for your objection that it is contradictory to say, 'It is the Knowable, but it is neither called being nor non-being,'-it is not contradictory; for the Upanisad says, 'That (Brahman) is surely different from the known and, again, It is above the unknown' (Ke. 1.4). Objection: May it not be that even the Upanisad is contradictory in its meaning? May it not be (contradictory) as it is when, after beginning with the topic of a shed for a sacrifice, [Cf. 'Pracinavamsam karoti, he constructs (i.e. shall construct) (the sacrificial shed) with its supporting beam turned east-ward' (Tai, Sam.; also see Sanskrit-English Dictionary, Monier Williams).-Tr.] it is said, 'Who indeed knows whether there exists anything in the other world or not!' (Tai. Sam. 6.1.1)? Reply: No, since

Re: [FairfieldLife] India: Mirror of Truth
Title: Re: [FairfieldLife] India: Mirror of Truth HI Rick, please forward to FFL Dear Peter, The memoir is a faithful account of people and events from my India experience. That said, Keshava is a pseudonym for a Himalayan saint that asked me not to use his real name. There are other pseudonyms in the book as well. Darula Ashram is one; used because the ashram where I stayed is not open to the public. Although some stories go back 25 years, I've done my best to recount them as they happened. Unfortunately, I've already learned that the episode of David and the train accident (1982) wasn't totally accurate. On page 99, I wrote, an outing that was not approved. A friend of David's who was with us in Germany informed me that the trip was approved, and that David went to Koblenz, not Bonn. Both errors have been corrected in the most recent printing at considerable expense to the author. If more surface, I'll do my best to correct them. Since plunging into writing the book over two years ago, I've only visited FFL a couple times. At present, I'm at the computer six hours a day working on another book and try to avoid being in front of the screen unless necessary. Although I welcome questions about Mirror of Truth, I am reluctant to leap into the FFL fray. I'll do my best to answer questions posted to the email address on the back jacket of the book. Steve Briggs on 1/24/06 6:41 PM, Vaj at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It seemed like an encounter with a yogi who had perfected the illusory body. You really can't tell them (in many ways) from an encounter with a physical person. Yet there is, on reflection, elements that reveal otherwise. I had the same impression as those where I met beings in illusory bodies. This would be different from a subtle experience although they are said to require a subtler perception to see--nonetheless they appear, external, in what seems waking state! The story of the yogin above Jyotir Math was also remarkable for the technique he taught--it is a well known technique from the oldest known Shaivite text, described perfectly but simply. On Jan 24, 2006, at 2:55 PM, Peter wrote: For some reason the story of Kevasha seemed to stand-out in some way from the rest of the stories. It was almost as if Steve was talking about a subtle experience rather than a concrete conversation with a yogi in the gross physical. I'm curious what Steve's rersponse will be if he cares to answer. And if you do read this, Steve, I greatly enjoyed your book.

I treasure the time I spent on long TM courses like teacher training or ATR's or courses. I think the traditional Tibetan culture pretty much allowed for that for all young men- say several years duriing a young man's early 20's. How that was funded I don't know - but the bread baking, jellymaking, weaving type of work might be a good idea for MD and Purusha who are so inclined. Many are now getting older, though. Are they provided with any health insurance? I wonder if they will find social security enough to get by (assuming they have contributed for a while). Knowing the compassionate history of the TMO I doubt very much if there are any health benefits in place or any sort of retirement account. Yahoo!

Second-hand cigarette smoke? Regardless, you have a fortunate point of view! I don't discount the Purusha point of view because I subscribe to the notion of collective consciousness I picked up from Maharishi. That perspective allows for a subtle, unseen influence on relative life as a whole. It's mystical, I admit, but I have no reason to dump it. (Maybe people will suggest a few reasons following this post.) The collective consciousness theory allows for individuals and groups to raise collective consciousness higher in ways that show up in the relative world. For example, my neighbor once had to drive an hour and half into Boston to get organic meat. Now it's available down the road at the local supermarket. That shift in public demand may be attributed to rising collective consciousness, which may in turn be attributed to a spiritual awakening that many groups like to say is happening. Salads at McDonald's are another example. Reduced exposure to second-hand cigarette smoke is another. Are the Purushites superfluous? I kind of hope so, given the paucity of their numbers. But I'm not ready to dismiss their influence, either. Yahoo!

[FairfieldLife] Brandon Teena Story and Fairfield connection
Just saw the documentary on DVD of the Brandon Teena Story which the movie Boys Don't Cry was based upon. However, unlike the movie, in real life, there was a third person murdered in the farm house: an African-American named Phillip Devine.

There's also a combined one-day intensive and diksha course in Syracuse in March for only $77. I have no interest in taking any of their diksha courses, because all the Sai Maa diskha givers claim their diksha cannot be given to oneself and cannot be given remotely. My own diksha suits me fine on both counts. Of course in order to give deeksha you have to build up the shakti in yourself. So being able to give deeksha to yourself becomes a moot point. :) Yahoo!

[FairfieldLife] Details of Creation
14Dec2005 The Details of Creation on the Level of Direct Subjective Experience Dr Hagelin: `Thank you, Maharishi. There is obviously an extremely unique opportunity for the press to declare eureka today. `Maharishi, the world's foremost quantum physicists have developed highly successful Unified Field theories, such as the superstring, which describe the field of unity that underlies our diverse universe, the field of unity that underlies the diverse particles and forces that comprise the universe. But there is a branch of particle physics called experimental particle physics, and a special breed of physicists called particle experimentalists who spend millions of dollars and years of their lives looking for new particles in order to confirm the minute details of these Unified Field theories. `Our Maharishi University of Management students, gathered here in Constitution Hall with me now, will soon visit the world's largest particle accelerator in nearby Fermilab in Chicago. It appears that these giant machines are soon to become obsolete museums, because even as powerful as they are, they cannot really begin to explore the deepest levels of nature at the grand unified and super unified levels. These are levels of unified reality that the human brain can so easily explore on the level of consciousness through the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Programmes. `Does Maharishi foresee a time soon when everything one could possibly want to know about these deeply unified layers of creation all the details of the Unified Field and the Constitution of the Universewill be fully transparent on the level of direct subjective experience. And will these particle accelerators, the modern microscopes of our age, truly become relics of times past?' Maharishi: `That will just be what the first cognizer of the Veda is. As tradition has known it, the seer Rishi Madhuchchhandas sees. What does he see? He sees the first syllable of the Veda, A, Agnimile Purohitam. This is how the Veda proceeds. He sees A, and in A, he sees the total Veda. `We can have an example. In a banyan seed or in a tiny seed of a guava, there is hollowness. Within that hollowness, if one could see, is the entire tree and all the mechanics of the dynamics of the unmanifest seed. The whole tree is there. This is seeing the entire tree in the hollowness of the seed. This means that the whole dynamic activity, the entire dynamism, is seen within the unmanifest field. This is the total Veda. `This total Veda then flows. It flows into Agnimile Purohitam. The sequential emergence of the Veda is just as Dr Hagelin was saying. Ultimately, human awareness will be flowing in terms of the speech of the Veda, in terms of the language of the Veda, in terms of the sound of the Veda. That is Vedic recitation, having the Totality, and then, in sequence, Totality unfolding itself, infinity unfolding itself, into many, many pointsunfolding to the point. This is exactly what will happen when the perception of these physical values comes to an end, and the consciousness value continues in its more and more refined value until the infinity comes to a point. `Point to infinity is the flow of the Vedathe flow of the knowledge of the Constitution of the Universe. All the mechanics of transformation of the unmanifest into manifestthis process which we call science and technologywill be the ultimate thing. That is where there is the perception of these finer particles. We call it a particle accelerator. There are particles and then the mostwhat we sayyou squeeze the particle into something, consciousness, higher states of consciousness. That is the Atma, the Self of everyone, Being, the be-all and end-all of everything, the Self of everything, the total field of knowledge. `The pursuit of modern science is getting into the sequentially refining values of creation and, ultimately, coming to recognize the abstract, unmanifest value in terms of the very concrete whole tree, which is there in the unmanifest. The pursuit of modern science is in that direction which is the structure of the Veda, the flow of the Veda. This is Vedic Civilization, which studies that and makes the awareness of a human child, a human being, into that ability that functions in the light of God, that functions on the level of all possibilities. `This is the extreme value of the scientific investigation of knowledge. It ends up in enabling human consciousness to be a lively field of all possibilities. The word all possibilities is a reality on that level. It is not an empty word; it is not an emotional word. It is a concrete reality, where one is on the level of creating through desiring. This is stirring the field of the Devasstirring the field of Creative Intelligence on its own level the world of the Devas, the world of the administrators of the universe. `It is a beautiful level. Whatever it explores has

I just came across a book in a health food store in Portland, Maine by Edward Tarabilda entitled, Ayurveda Revolutionized. I remember him when I was a first year student at MIU back in 1975-1976. It mentions that he co-founded The Institute for Wholistic Education which is based in Twin Lakes, WI. It also says tht he is the founder of the Art of Multi-Dimensional Living and this knowledge is available through NEW U which has a mailing address in Fairfield. I checked out the website and discovered that he passed away in 1999 from a heart attack while playing tennis.

[FairfieldLife] Re: [NgakpaZhonnuKhang] apotropaic use of iron
I think a lot of people miss that before man knew how to mine and smelt iron what his basic source of iron was: meteoritic iron. We would all do well to take a look a Eliade's _The Forge and the Crucible_. The few meteors that survive the drop to earth all seem to contain a mix of predominantly iron and nickel. The sites where they landed were sacred to the goddess. The adepts that worked with this metal, the early blacksmiths, all shared one thing in common: they were the ones who could and would be possessed by the local spirits of that area. We don't realize what a profound act this was, either did I. Till I saw the video made of the priests of Bali. These tantric priests still descend through a labyrinth below their ancient temples, established on old meteorite sites and go into trance. And they mold these metals WITH THEIR HANDS. To this very day. A good Balinese kris, extremely rare, will have the markings where the tantrika kissed the edge of the blade with his lips. Little crescent- shaped marks. I think this work is one of Eliade's greatest work, but quietly so. One of Eliade's old students gave me a copy when he found out I was interested in Alchemy. It tapped me into an older strata of thought, I might've completely missed otherwise. -Vaj On Jan 11, 2006, at 6:37 PM, E. Noval wrote: Since we were talking about iron phurbas...

[FairfieldLife] Re: Intention revisited
---Undoing intention, (or any karma): the trick is the amount of effort; but there's a mantra designed for dissolving karma which is Thiru Neela Kantam (meaning Holy Blue Throat - a reference to Shiva). You chant the mantra and at the same time imagining the bad karma as a type of liquid. Shiva drinks up the liquid, turning His throat blue. The technique is keyed to the Churning of the Ocean Myth when the Snake vomited some poison. Shiva drank it up, turning His throat blue and thus He is Holy Blue Throat: Thiru Neela Kantam. But again, there's no free lunch since even dissolving the bad karma of ordinary daily events takes a lot of energy. I might add that once the event has already occurred, changing history is a lot more difficult than preventing the event in the first place (an ounce of prevention...etc). The best way to use the mantra is to chant it to dissolve the bad karma of tomorrow; (rather than waiting until the day after tomorrow in which case the damage has already been done). --- Vaj wrote: It proved to me that if the underlying and deepest motivation was not pure, the result would ultimately reflect this.
