   Bhairitu, if you tax it, it goes to government which will NOT

   it wisely.  It WILL be used more wisely by those that create 
the 
   wealth.
  
  History shows that not to be true at all.  Most are just greedy 
  bastards who care little about their fellow humanity.  People 
like 
  Bill Gates are a rare exception but as I stated earlier he has 
  always had a mood of detachment from his wealth which I 
  particularly noted in a local Seattle interview with him in 1991.
  
  You still don't get that a progressive tax means people won't 
try 
  to earn another dime if they are going to pay more in taxes.  So 
  the government doesn't get anything.  They're already wealthy 
and 
  anything more is just an ego driven power trip.   This lets 
others 
  have more of a chance.
 
 I was just reading in the Times about Richard Grasso,
 who, making $12 million a year, went through all kinds
 of contortions to obtain his $140 million retirement
 package.
 
 At some point in the accumulation of wealth, money
 ceases to be a medium of exchange and becomes something
 entirely different, having to do, as Bhairitu suggests,
 with ego and power.  Your attitude toward it changes
 in a way that makes it literally impossible to empathize
 with the person for whom, say, fresh blueberries are
 a luxury they can't afford.
 
 You no longer have to make choices based on what
 something costs.  Money becomes an abstraction with no
 practical consequences in terms of what you do with it,
 except those that have to do with how much *more* of
 this abstraction you are able to accumulate.



Alas.  You've just described big government!

A $2.8 trillion budget without any care what it costs, Congressmen --
 and Presidents for that matter! -- spend, spend, spend.




 
 When rich people talk about money, they're talking
 about something entirely different from what poor and
 middle-class people mean when they talk about it.
 They might as well be on different planets.


Of course.

Rich people, having the experience of vast wealth, know by 
experience that money doesn't buy happiness.  Poorer people don't 
have that experience.

That is why it is SO important that we ensure that the poorest of 
the poor have enough money to buy the basic necessities of life and, 
hopefully, a pint of blueberries whenever they  see and desire it on 
the produce shelves.

That is why, dear Billie Batts, you should join me in encouraging 
capitalist enterprises like Wal-Mart toward all success so that the 
poor which you invoke above have their blueberries.

[FairfieldLife] Why Meditate

2006-06-25 Thread suziezuzie

I would be curious to know why people practice TM. Whether it be 
experiential reasons or philosophical or both, what are the reasons why 
you sit down once or twice a day and practice TM and the sidhis? What 
do you gain at the time you practice, afterwards, in the short run, 
long run and does an afterlife belief have anything to do with your 
practice?

product of retarded American fundamenatalist christians. And that, 
with their arrogant, and visionless actions (in the name of their

innocent children ( an act for which Jesus said , he would condemn 
them all ), and innocent Iraqi's.Whole families wiped out by 
YOUR American arrogance and fundamentalist beliefs that you defend

Your fundamentalist christian fascists that you defend 
so eloquently and perceptively, are also resposible for ripping 
apart family based tribal cultures around the world, and turning 
brother against brother unless they bow down to your Jesus and your 
American charity dollars.

But then, you, as a naive...hide your head in the sand...world 
ignorant...arrogant Americanyou would not know these things 
now would you. 
No-one in the world respects you Americans anymore. Americans HAVE 
SO MUCH to proove now to show themselves worthy of human civilised 
life, after their demon acts under their fundamentalist Bush and the 
others there. It seems impossible now for Americans to ever be 
respected again. it will take centuries. If you want to defend your  
demon fundamentalists then state it clearly now and live your 
ignorant fate.

I do TM twice a day (plus sidhis) because it is the path I've 
chosen, which I did at age 18 and have done it regularly pretty much 
since then (I'm 51 now) with a few pockets of irregular practise 
dispersed throughout the 33 years.

I was always looking for something and I had criteria.  It had to 
be something that didn't require blind belief...I had been exposed 
to that growing up while going to church etc. and knew very much it 
couldn't be that.  Two other factors were also important but I 
didn't realize what they were until they were mentioned within the 
context of TM being explained to me but when they were, something 
clicked that that was what I was looking for.  And those two things 
were: (1) that the practise was scientifically or objectively 
verifiable; and (2) that it was easy and didn't require 
concentration.

And once I chose TM as a path, I pretty much knew that I'd be doing 
it regularly for the rest of my life...and for those few pockets of 
time when I wasn't regular, I distinctly experienced a difference, 
so I always went back to regular practise.

Is it experiential or philosophical reasons or both: Both. 
Philosophical for the reasons mentioned above (sorry, that's about 
as philosophical as I get) and, more importantly -- MUCH more 
importantly -- experiential.  I need to experience pure 
consciousness in the here and now while I am alive and not as some 
reward in heaven after I die.

What I gain: 

short term: a more relaxed life.

Long term: hopefully, higher states of consciousness.

Afterlife considerations: not really 'cause I want it all NOW.

[FairfieldLife] 'Iraq War a Farce of Biblical Proportions'

2006-06-25 Thread Robert Gimbel

This war is a farce; Howcan we bring democracy abroad; While stealing our constitutional rights at home?The old regime in Iraq, was keeping Iran at bay; As well as outsiders such as the bin Laden bunch of maniacs; Saddam is not so insane as some that have followed him...The 'enemy of our enemy' was our friend, in the eighties; Iraq was in a costly war with Iran. The U.S. sold them arms to fight Iran. Mr. Rumsfeld shook Saddam's hand,(Remember the Picture, pictures don't lie)We are in a much weaker position now; In regard to Iran, and that is why they are flexing their muscle. That is why they are so bold now; Because we are bogged down, with our Saddam obsession. Who, by the way, had nothing to do with the 'Events of 9/11'.
So,Why oh why are we sending our kids there to die; To be maimed and their souls abused with horrible images, They can't forever forget...Why do we have a President, so obsessed with Saddam? Perhaps becauseSaddam had tried to have the Bush elder killed? That is why we send our kids to die, day after day?There are many dictators in this world of ours. Many in Africa. But, No oil in Africa?New Orleans has to save itself. But for Bush's Saddam obsession, Billions are not a problem. Perhaps Mr. Bush is just a typical; (As theysay in A.A.) Like an alcoholic that just quits with no help. Just an angry,'Dry drunk'. It's about oil,
stupid. We could have had electric cars, ten years ago.As for L.S.D... the C.I.A. gave up on it years ago. They decided it was an unreliable tool for brainwashing.Instead they decided to go with the "Mindwar Doctrine" This involves control of the media, used to brainwash. As well as stressors to weaken the resolve of the population. And promoting the notion that the U.S. Can do no wrong.We are in a very sick and dishonest state of affairs; InWashington D.C. And everybody,knows it...

2006-06-25 Thread surya

There are 2 lines. One is line of science in which human effort gets 
results. The other line is Supernatural line in which powers are 
attained by God's grace only. Even demons did penance and got powers 
by the grace of God only. Now the middle age scholars mixed these 2 
lines and developed 3rd line in between i.e., by human effort, you 
can get powers. People are fooled like this. 

By human effort, like controlling breath, you can get health only 
which is not a power and this is completely first line only. People 
are attracted like this in the name of Yoga. To get powers, Ravana 
should have joined Yoga centre. Why he did penance for God Brahma? 
Yoga means achievement of grace of God by which only powers are 
attained.

Kundalini is your mind which is the base of your love and which is 
called as the serpent going with curves. Generally the mind of the 
people is curved by nature. Mind is energy and is propagated as 
waves according to science. These wheels are the family bonds and 
crossing them in a curved way is cheating those cheating bonds. This 
justifies that Maya can be crossed by Maya and a thorn can be taken 
out by another thorn. The first wheel represents earth, which is the 
bond with mother and is called as Mooladhara. Only from earth living 
beings like plants etc. (life) are born. The Kundalini sleeps in the 
Mooladhara wheel. This indicates your sleeping state of mind in the 
womb of your mother. 

The awakening of Kundalini means that you are delivered and came 
into world and you are trapped in bonds as your mind grows. So, 
there is no need of awakening the Kundalini, which was already in 
the awakened state. By closing your eyes, you are encouraging 
Kundalini (mind) to sleep. First you have to cut your bond/love with 
mother for the sake of God. The second wheel is `Manipura' of water 
representing the father. The sky having clouds is said to be the 
father in Veda. When water falls from the sky and unites with earth, 
life is produced. The bond with the father should also be cut as 
Prahlada left his father for the sake of God. Now, you may argue 
that Veda says mother and father are God (Matru devaha, pitru 
devaha). These words have two meanings as per the grammar. The first 
meaning is that mother and father are God. This is correct because 
in the world among all the people, they should be very highly 
respected and loved. The second meaning for these words is that God 
is mother and father. This meaning should be taken, when God comes 
into your life and competes with mother and father. The third wheel 
is Swadhistana (fire) representing the bond between wife and 
husband. The union of a couple takes place only due to heat (fire). 
Buddha left his wife and Meera left her husband for the sake of God. 
The fourth wheel is Anahata, of air, representing the bond with 
children. Veda says air is the strongest. This wheel is placed in 
the heart, which means that this is the heart or the essence of all 
the bonds. Buddha left his one year old son for the sake of God.

The fifth wheel is Visuddha of Akasha (space), which is in the 
throat, representing the bond with false gurus (preachers). A fraud 
guru preaches only nonsense, which represents nothing like space. To 
reach the God who is the Sadguru you must leave all the gurus. 
Prahlada left such teachers. The final wheel is Aajna, in between 
the two eyebrows, representing the `Jnananetra' i.e., the sight of 
knowledge. This is of mind. With the help of knowledge that is Vedas 
and Sashtras, you must decide the real form of God as Lord Datta and 
all other forms are only his various dresses. Vedas say that Datta 
is only the ultimate and real God (Brahman). Veda says that God 
should be one and that one God creates, rules and destroys the 
universe. Datta is only one and does these three works through His 
three divine faces. But, such ultimate God cannot be reached because 
Vedas say that even words, mind, intelligence, logic and even 
imagination cannot touch him. But, He comes in the human form and 
then only you can see, touch, talk and even spend your whole life 
with Him. Such human form is called DATTA.

Datta means the God who is given to devotees, you can meet Him in 
this world in human form only. Gita says that God comes in human 
form only (Manusheem). Gita also says that if one worships 
formless, he or she gets sorrow only (Avyaktahi). Gita also says 
that if you worship a statue, you are born as a stone (Bhutejyah.). 
A statue has only a limited use of being seen by devotees (Darsanam) 
and is not meant for worship. A human form only gives full 
satisfaction to devotees during worship.

Yoga means joining the God after cutting all the family bonds 
through cheating to avoid hurting as explained above. The bonds can 
be cut only when a new bond with God is formed. Without the new 
bond, the old bond cannot be cut. First attachment to God (Bhakti) 
should come and detachment from the relatives (Vyragya) is

Assuming the American military knows about this and is purposely 
foisting this Saddam relative upon us, why would they do that?  
Certainly, it is much more to the Americans' advantage to have had a 
dead Saddam on their hands.

Even though Adolf Hitler killed himself at war's end, insurgents 
continued fighting for Germany for about 4 years after WWII's end.  
But it is believed that had Hitler lived and put, presumably, on 
trial, insurgency in Germany would have not only continued longer 
but have been very, very strong.

A dead Saddam is to the Americans' advantage.

Fifteen to twenty minutes in the bank twice a day balanced by 
another three minutes in the bank and the rest of the day spending 
the money in the marketplace...is that how the analogy goes?
