SriSri gives chanting "Om" to one and all. Incompatible.
In his meditation practice you DON'T always come back to the mantra if
you are aware you aren't doing it.

According to my information SBS died of cancer. Apparently this is a

Well, y'know, dome practice is more than TM and the deal with TM doesn't hold 
with the TM-
sidhis, and it was made clear that that was the case when you first learned or 
it was clear 
when *I* first learned.

The lesser seperation is the banning of the followers of the other gurus. The 
greater 
separation is that the followers of theother gurus are pretending to still 
practice MMY's 
techniques.

Thank you for reproducing it, Robert.

I read the entire thing and I am of two minds.

One says that, hey, that's the Movement and in this year 2006 why 
would she be so surprised that they are acting like this?  This mind 
says, yes, she SHOULD have lied.

The other mind is angry that the movement does not respect its basic 
tenet that you can practise any religion and still practise TM...and 
visiting saints and doing all these other techniques are 
religions...and as long as the people in the dome do the dome 
practise, what's the harm?

The pundits were shivering in the crisp, cold air, by the time Maharishi finally showed.  He blessed the dome for all, and for all generations to come.     I'm not sure how a handful of people got control of the dome;  And decided to keep certain people

Seems to me it doesn't make much sense to go looking
for 'em--especially through someone else's eyes!--but
if they come looking for you, it's probably a good
idea to at least give 'em a chance to tell you
something of value.

I can only see the value of farting around with past
lives is not in the intellectual understanding of
them, but the unstressing of samskaras that they have
created and that are carried on in the chitta. Other
than that, who cares.

***Well, you could look at it another way:
It could just be the 'ego's last stand',
In other words, when something is about to fall, or end;
It comes out almost exagerrated;
So, this exaggerated behaviour, on both the woman's part,
who wrote the letter;
And the exagerrated response from the representative of the movement 
sounds so absurd, that it will 'fall under it's own weight', so to 
speak;
Whenever a behavior pattern shifts, or any pattern for that matter;
it seems to rear it's ugly head, greater than ever;
And then seems to just collapse under it's own falsity, exposed.
So, perhaps, this is what is happening not just here;
In this example of the movement, and the politics of the movement.
But in the politics,and political leadership, in all systems around 
the world.
So, interesting, and transformation times we live in.
But the main thing is:
Not to be afraid to challenge this old power structure;
As it appears weak and ready to fall.

My Dome rejection

Shiva Ma Ryan to John Hagelin

Aug 2 (5 days ago)

Dear John,
I was told to e-mail you if I had any trouble getting accepted at the
dome. Hence this letter to you, because I have been faced with one of
the most difficult choices of my life. John will you PLEASE share
this
letter with Maharishi, as I want Him to know "THE REAL TRUTH" about
what has happened in Fairfield. Please read everything I have written
in this e-mail John, I have tried to be as honest and as "TRUTHFUL"
as
I can. I also have suggestions at the end of this e-mail, that may
benefit EVERYONE!

When I applied for the course, I was told I would need more time to
be
processed. I knew I probably would not get an immediate acceptance,
because a few years ago I applied and was asked if I practiced any
techniques other than Maharishi's. I went to India with a GREAT saint
from Asam, India, Shree Maa, in 1999, and I told the man questioning
me "I had experienced EVERYTHING that India had to offer, and that
what I learned in private, I kept private. I had asked the question
to
over 600 people that I initiated, back in the seventies: "Everything
we learn in private, we keep private. Do you agree?" This answer
seemed the most truthful and appropriate to me, yet I was not
accepted then for the dome.

This past Saturday July 29th, I was encouraged by my sister and
brother-in law and several friends at a birthday party, that I should
apply now for the dome, because they were accepting EVERYONE!
Regardless of past associations with saints or other techniques, I
was
told EVERYONE was WELCOME BACK!!! The words "All sins would be
forgiven" were used. Those words deeply pinched my heart. I have
never
considered spending time with Fully Awakened Divine Beings a sin. I
have been incredibly fortunate to travel with many saints over the
last twelve years. Each ONE I always experienced as MAHARISHI. Each
ONE, that I was BLESSED by, deepened my INCREDIBLE LOVE, RESPECT and
ETERNAL GRATITUDE to Maharishi for all that He had given me in the
past. Maharishi was my FIRST GURU!!! Yet Maharishi became
inaccessible to me. The last time I saw Him was at The 7000 Course in
1983. My heart was longing for him, So I felt that one by one He
started sending different saints to BLESS ME!!! Over the years, I
have received the GRACE and BLESSINGS from over 15 different saints
that have visited Fairfield since 1997. In 1994 my first GREAT
BLESSING was from MOTHER MEERA, in Germany. She changed my life
forever... I have had the GREAT fortune of traveling with many of
these DIVINE BEINGS. I am so GRATEFUL for the Love and Grace I have
been given from these PURE DIVINE MANIFESTATIONS of Gods and
Goddess's.

I want to offer my HUMBLEST GRATITUDE to Maharishi for always
remaining in my HEART of HEARTS, since November 19, 1971. I will be
in
HIS ETERNAL DEBT for the GRACE HE SHOWERED upon me over and over
again
throughout all these years. JAI GURU DEV MAHARISHI! I LOVE YOU SO
MUCH.

At the course office, Jeff Cohen was so sweet and kind to me on the
phone, going over the guidelines for acceptance for the course.
However the words he used when telling me what I needed to do, to get
my badge, still penetrate me like millions of daggers in my HEART. I
have not been able to shake them. {Please ask Maharishi to help me
with this.} He said I would be able to get my badge if: "I SEVERED
any connection I had with any saints and SEVERED the use of any
techniques that they had taught me, and that I would NEVER establish
a
connection with them again or practice any other techniques other
than
Maharishi's, EVER AGAIN. And that I had to put all of this in
writing,
promising that I would do this. For GOD'S SAKE,

And that is MMY's master plan! A total collapse of
everything into nothingness. No attachments, just pure
shiva.

Re: [FairfieldLife] "My Dome Rejection" From Shiva Ma Ryan

2006-08-07 Thread Peter
This is really wonderful, in one great cosmic sense.
Horrible for the ego though! The demons and the devas
are churning the cosmic ocean to bring forth soma.
What a crazy gift MMY/Shree Ma are giving her. What is
she to do? I don't have a clue. But all kinds of gifts
come from that cosmic ocean. But first her mind has to
come to a full stop. No defense of any position. She
needs to surrender to the Divine in all its crazy form
so only the pure intent of her bhakti is left.

Congratulations.

You're the first person I've ever heard relate a past live 
experience in which the past life wasn't a King or an emperor or 
someone special, like Abraham Lincoln.

A lowly slave?  How pedestrian of you...

Rest in Peace, TMO...it's about time!...upon its well-deserved 
demise, such people (as the contributor in question) will feel no 
misgivings since attachments to the TMO...(and whatever entities that 
entails: the dome, MMY, Bevan, tweaked statistics, dishonesty...), 
will conveniently no longer exist. Poof! Cheshire cat gone.

2006-08-07 Thread shempmcgurk
I would be very saddened if he said he wanted it to go...I do 
remember a quote by him saying that Capitalism is the next to go 
(apparently he said this after the fall of communism).

Wonderful article, by the way.  India needs to abandon the horrible 
direction Mahatma Gandhi steered India into and get rid of central 
planning.

Here in America, Indians are at the forefront and hold the best 
positions in all the high tech jobs.  They are a great success.

I have heard the following saying: Indians are successful everywhere 
except India.

Now, perhaps, after India follows the advice in this article, they 
will be successful in India, too!

You know what they say

The market mechanism and the price system that guides it are not of 
human design and do not need human guidance. (They could do with 
more human appreciation of their wonder and indispensability!) They 
enable us to extend the span of our utilisation of resources far, 
far beyond the control of any single mind. The marvel of the free 
market enables us to solve the problem of resource allocation 
without the need for any conscious direction. We can throw out 
government planning. Further, the price system provides the 
necessary inducements to each individual to do desirable things like 
using resources `economically' (like save on petrol when prices 
rise) without anyone having to tell him what to do. For this 
understanding, humanity owes a great debt to Friedrich August von

 Dalai Lama Quote of the Week 
		How then does the mistaken idea, that things exist from their own side, operate? Whatever appears to the mind appears as if it existed truly from its own side. ...Now if the object existed as it appears to you, then, when you searched for it, you could actually find a real [object]. So, we must ask ourselves whether or not this object, when searched for, is to be found or not. If the object is not found when it is searched for, we must conclude that it does not exist from its own side, that when the label is applied to its basis, it is not so labeled because the basis somehow bears within it something which is the object. At this point, one must conclude that the object does not exist as it appears to, but then, one may wonder whether it exists at all.

Things, however, are not utterly non-existent. They do exist nominally. So things do exist, but they do not exist from the side of the basis of the label. And hence, though they do exist, because they do not exist within the object itself, they must exist only as they are labeled by the subject (the conceptual mind, for example). There is no other way for the object to exist apart from the way it is posited by conceptual thought. This is then what we mean when we say that all phenomena are merely labeled by conceptual thought. However, things do not appear to us as if they were mere conceptually labeled entities. Instead, they appear as if they existed from their own side. Therefore, it is a mistake to think that things exist as they appear.

Reading Post # 108732, was really disturbing;
What gives someone the right, to manipulate another like this.
I'm sure it's not the fault of Jeff Cohen, as he is 'Just following

Orders sound more like Bevan's policy.
Anyway, it just reminds me of a totalitarian state, or a Facist 
regime, or something not good.
No wonder the atmostphere, is not as it could be.
Stiffled and compressed; fear mongering, and control.

All Love,
Shiva Ma

My Dome rejection

Shiva Ma Ryan  to  John Hagelin

Aug 2 (5 days ago)

Dear John,
I was told to e-mail you if I had any trouble getting accepted at the
dome. Hence this letter to you, because I have been faced with one of
the most difficult choices of my life. John will you PLEASE share 
this
letter with Maharishi, as I want Him to know "THE REAL TRUTH"  about
what has happened in Fairfield. Please read everything I have written
in this e-mail John, I have tried to be as honest and as "TRUTHFUL" 
as
I can. I also have suggestions at the end of this e-mail, that may
benefit EVERYONE!

When I applied for the course, I was told I would need more time to 
be
processed. I knew I probably would not get an immediate acceptance,
because a few years ago I applied and was asked if I practiced any
techniques other than Maharishi's. I went to India with a GREAT saint
from Asam, India, Shree Maa, in 1999, and I told the man questioning
me "I had experienced EVERYTHING that India had to offer, and that
what I learned in private, I kept private. I had asked the question 
to
over 600 people that I initiated,  back in the seventies: "Everything
we learn in private, we keep private. Do you agree?" This answer
seemed the most truthful and appropriate to me,  yet I was not
accepted then for the dome.

This past Saturday July 29th, I was encouraged by my sister and
brother-in law and several friends at a birthday party, that I should
apply now for the dome, because they were accepting EVERYONE!
Regardless of past associations with saints or other techniques, I 
was
told EVERYONE  was WELCOME BACK!!! The words "All sins would be
forgiven" were used. Those words deeply pinched my heart. I have 
never
considered spending time with Fully Awakened Divine Beings a sin.  I
have been incredibly fortunate to travel with many saints over the
last twelve years. Each ONE I always experienced as MAHARISHI. Each
ONE, that I was BLESSED by, deepened my INCREDIBLE LOVE, RESPECT and
ETERNAL GRATITUDE to Maharishi for all that He had given me in the
past. Maharishi was my FIRST GURU!!!   Yet Maharishi became
inaccessible to me. The last time I saw Him was at The 7000 Course in
1983. My heart was longing for him, So I felt that one by one He
started sending different saints to BLESS ME!!!  Over the years, I
have received the GRACE and BLESSINGS from over 15 different saints
that have visited Fairfield since 1997. In 1994 my first GREAT
BLESSING was from MOTHER MEERA, in Germany. She changed my life
forever... I have had the GREAT fortune of traveling with many of
these DIVINE BEINGS. I am so GRATEFUL for the Love and Grace I have
been given from these PURE DIVINE MANIFESTATIONS of Gods and
Goddess's.

I want to offer my HUMBLEST GRATITUDE to Maharishi for always
remaining in my HEART of HEARTS, since November 19, 1971. I will be 
in
HIS ETERNAL DEBT for the GRACE HE SHOWERED upon me over and over 
again
throughout all these years. JAI GURU DEV MAHARISHI!  I LOVE YOU SO
MUCH.

 At the course office, Jeff Cohen was so sweet and kind to me on the
phone, going over the guidelines for acceptance for the course.
However the words he used when telling me what I needed to do, to get
my badge, still penetrate me like millions of daggers in my HEART. I
have not been able to shake them. {Please ask Maharishi to help me
with this.} He said I would be able to get my badge if:  "I  SEVERED
any connection I had with any saints and SEVERED the use of any
techniques that they had taught me, and that I would NEVER establish 
a
connection with them again or practice any other techniques other 
than
Maharishi's, EVER AGAIN. And that I had to put all of this in 
writing,
promising that I would do this.  For GOD'S SAKE, How in the name of
WHOLENESS! ONENESS! DIVINITY! and SELF REALIZATION! could I promise
that  My SOUL WOULD NEVER ALLOW THAT
I could have lied and said anything that Jeff wanted to hear, got my
badge, and no one would have known. THAT IS NOT ME, THAT IS NOT HOW I
REPRESENT TRUTH AND DIVINITY. I DO NOT, AND I WILL NOT, EVER LIE to
achieve a small gain in the present, who would I be lying to ONLY
MY SELF

When Jeff was explaing to me how Maharishi said that one should not
cross the river in two boats, it causes confusion. I told him: "I AM
NO LONGER IN THE BOAT, I AM ON THE ISLAND I AM ENJOYING THE GOAL.
I PARKED MY BOAT ON THE SIDE OF THE SHORE, MANY YEARS AGO, AND LEFT 
IT
THERE!" There are other people in Fairfield in the same place that I
AM. We are  not nor could we ever again "BE CONFUSED" We are SELF
REFERRAL NOW!!! No mistakes CAN be made. I LISTEN TO MY GOD SELF
ALWAYS... My OWN INNER VOICE SPEAKS TO ME ALWAYS!!!  I AM not
MAHARISHI or MOVEMENT REFERRAL anymore. The same SELF that is in ALL
BEINGS, IN THE ONENESS OF ALL BEINGS, IN THAT SELF LUMINOUS SELF,

Back in the day when I hopped regularly instead of twitched, I used to do

Ancient Chinese curse (blessing?): may you live in interesting times.

Perhaps we tend to remember the most interesting lifetimes because the others 
are, well, 
boring. OTOH, the "best" TM experience isn't memorable at all, so perhaps we're 
confusing 
exciting with most evolutionary and the ones who trudged through life as 
pyramid builders 
got the most done during that lifetime and recall it the least.

Actutally, I think Michael's analysis had one glaring error: the vast majority 
of the people 
who learned TM in SE Florida probably came from the tiny segment in the richest 
part, 
which is MMY's stated intent anyway.

To estimate how many initiations there have been in the past year, estimate the 
number of 
"filthy rich" or at least soiled rich in the area, and go from there.

MMY's plans for Vedic City call for it to become the Hindu Mecca of the USA. 
The pundits 
will certainly get there ASAP, but who can say when that will be. We're talking 
Maharishi 
Time here, and who nows how the Timeless measures time? Did the world get 
created in 7 
days,  or 7 eons?

Well, actually, Michael, anything you post on a forum

it.

Michael, remember, you don't intimidate me in the
slightest. When you get into nuclear-attack mode
and attempt to pull rank, you don't "smash" anybody,
you just make yourself look overwrought. And putting
a "smile" on your attacks, however you choose to
rationalize it, makes you look insincere as well, as
if you didn't even have the courage of your convictions.

This feeble behavior is in such stark contrast to the
wisdom you're capable of conveying when you're calm
and collected that it tends to destroy any confidence
one might have had in the wisdom to start with.

That's what I was attempting to point out to you.
You had a terrific case that Vaj had made an utter
fool of himself.  All you needed to do was set out
the facts, and finish up with the bit of dead-on
analysis of Vaj's posts that I complimented you on
in another post.  The "smile" bit and the superfluous
flailing around--not to mention the ridiculous
posturing in *this* post--just ruins the effect.

Ask your editor what s/he thinks.  If s/he's any
good, I suspect s/he'll agree.

Some great minds tried flying on the way back to the states on the
jet. Stewardesses quite alarmed. 

Seat-belted into a airplane seat is not too different than a wheel
chair I suppose. 

I witnessed that on several flights. One in particular. It looked like several hundred people having an epileptic seizure. The flight attendants were alarmed indeed.

2006-08-07 Thread new . morning
HAHAHA. Thats one of the best parodies I have ever read Michael.
Kudos. You captured the bombasic volcanic ego-type perfectly. So
nanced with subtle detail of those global-sized egos, totally devoid
of self-reflection, taking themselves so so seriously. Really
marvelous work. And that on top of the earlier hugely funny parody of
the hyper-obsessive types that feel the need to respond in huge
torrents of mind-numbing excessive detail to defend even the slightest
transgressions on their fragile egos - which are usually mostly in
their own mind to begin with -- oblivious to all traces of social
gracefulness.  Great work.

Yea, with all this new construction, I hope they're creating wheel

Judy,

There is a principle in the martial arts, that whoever strikes first
loses.  Because to strike at another takes you off your center, re-
your imbalance, and opens you up.  The impulse that pushes you
to take action, to strike out at another, takes you down the path of
a specific energy, a specific possibility - and takes you out of the
place of all possibilities.  A master warrior knows that as soon as
you feel that desire come up, and then yield to it and let it turn
into action, you've already lost.

I DID have a big smile on my face when I wrote that line to Vaj.  I
wasn't being hypocritical in the slightest.  Nor was the smile either
"friendly" or "one of anticipation...of looking forward to the tearing
process".  Those are your words, reflecting the options that you con-
ceive of having in that situation.  Your choice of words reflects a lot
about your inner state.  But I wasn't feeling either of those.  I was
feeling very centered, and enjoying the cosmic inevitability of it all.

Vaj chose, foolishly, to play his game with me.  He's never done that
before.  In all these years, he's never directly responded to any post
of mine, never really commented on one, except obliquely.  But yesterday
he did, for the first time, directly engage me.  And so, like a samurai
sword master feels when some challenger steps out of their own center
and takes a few impotent swipes at him with their sword, and the samurai
master witnesses the inevitability of his own oncoming response, the fo-
cused slash of his own sword reflecting the karma of the foolish attacker
right back at him, and the master smiles at both his own centeredness,
and his opponent's blatant uncenteredness, and at the cosmic humor of the
laws of nature involved - in that way I smiled as I found myself starting
to reply to Vaj.  Try to understand that kind of smile.

My smile was actually none of your business, Judy (I don't mean that rude-
ly - just literally).  It was between Vaj and myself.  Vaj gets a rush out
of knocking people off their center, out of making people feel "not-OK",
out of intimidating people.  He knew what my words "with a big smile on
my face" really meant.  They meant, to him, that he was not successful,
that I didn't feel off-center, or not-OK, or intimidated.  They meant,
to him, that he was not successful, and that I was not going to engage
him from that weakened position that he likes to put people in.  My
smile meant, to him, that I accepted his challenge, and since he stepped
off center to challenge me first, since he yielded to his own deep needs
and constrictions, he was going to get whooped.

And Judy, I don't remember asking you for coaching on my writing style.
I already have a wonderful editor, and use him extensively.

I know that you feel an irresistible compulsion to point out and "cor-
rect" situations that appear, to you, to be dishonest or hypocritical -
but what you perceived here was simply a mis-perception by you, a mis-
take.  There was NO dishonesty or hypocrisy.  Now that you know that,
I'd suggest two actions would be in order:

a. An apology to me - for shooting from the hip before you actually
inquired into and understood what was really going on.

b. A vow from you to direct your anti-dishonesty compulsion elsewhere.
Don't start with me!  You've only done that one time, years ago,
and got smashed.  Remember, she who attacks first is guaranteed
to lose.

Sincere questions are welcome; commentary on the substantive content of
my posts is welcome; non-consensual attempts to bring me into alignment
with your conception of honesty and non-hypocrisy are NOT welcome.  Be
forewarned - I have no patience for that.

Namaste,

Michael

Samples themselves are not usually "statitically significant". Finings
are, or are not. That is, a finding that has only 5% chance of being
false, is often termed a statitically significant finding.  A
threshold sample size is needed for given significance level (95%),
for a given "error term" -- the often heard "+- 3% accuracy". For
example,  the "real" figure for the population has a 95% chance of
being within -3% to + 3% of the sample mean (average of the sample).

The larger the sample size, the better. Better in terms of tighter
error term for a given level of significance. Though there is a
tradeoff of cost and increased sample size. The former being linear,
the latter exponential. Thus the cost per extra unit reduction in
error term is always increasing.

I completely agree that if Sai Baba has made the abuses of power he

Is this a widely available, fee-based process? Are there prerequisites?

You tried to reach Judith through Conny Larsson, who is a Sai Baba debunker. And on that basis you doubt all the Sexy Sadie information?

2006-08-07 Thread new . morning
A red flag for "spin" goes up, perhaps undjusifiably so, for
statements like " already known for their involvement in trying to
bring about the public ridicule of another prominent Indian."

On the surface, he sounds like quite the rogue. On second thought, do
all prominent indians deserve shielding if they have done some
un-noble things?  Is someone known for their involvement in trying to
bring about the public exposure of such un-nobles necessarily a bad
person? 

If it was Conny Larsson, collecting mail for Linda Williams Pierce --
who is apparently quite sick and may have others hadling her mail --
then perhaps that is quite a noble thing.  Apparently Conny directly
witnessed (and experienced?) abuses by Sai Baba -- and is dedicating a
lot of time and resources to education others about the potential
downside of involment with SB. Not a bad thing, is it?

There was a study I read about years ago--but didn't
note the citation info--that (as I recall) had around
1,000 subjects (from the U.S., I believe), randomly
chosen, a statistically significant sample.  They were
put under hypnosis and asked to remember their past
lives.

The *vast* majority of these people recalled lives as
brown-skinned people working in the fields.  Only a very
few--three or four, I think--remembered lives in
identifiable historical periods, much less exciting
existences.

I keep hoping I'll come across a reference to this
study somewhere to get a fix on the details.  I 
doubt the study was published anywhere.  I do recall
that the researchers made a big effort to be as
scientific as possible--the hypnotic inductions and
the questions asked during hypnosis were the same for
all subjects; the evaluations of their reports were
not done by the researchers themselves, so the study
was single-blind, at least; and so on.

I *think* I recall that the researchers' hypothesis
was that most of the subjects would improbably recall
thrilling lives in historically identifiable periods
and were astonished that they did not.

I had a roommate once years ago who was very into
New Age stuff, particularly reincarnation.  She went
weekly to consult a spiritualist and would come home
bursting to share with me the past lives the
spiritualist had told her about--a court fool to 
Henry IV, a slave girl of Cleopatra, the father of
Patrick Henry, one of Walt Whitman's lovers (male),
etc., etc.

One day I asked her, "Did she tell you about your
life as Benjamin Franklin's illegitimate daughter?"

Her jaw dropped.  "No, she didn't," she said. "I wonder
why not?  Maybe she didn't want me to know about that
one for some reason.  I'll have to ask her next time."

Michael doesn't think the numbers are important,
Shemp, remember?  The only reason he went through
this exercise is to demonstrate that Vaj doesn't
know what he's talking about.

To me, and this is not universal, I knew or was on courses with most
of the people in SS. To me, most were credible as people. Different
than say, if SS were written by strangers, or worse, the top 10
posters on FFL.  And SS collaborated explicit things I had heard 25
years earlier. Thus, SS files was perhaps more credible for me than
for you.

Its odd, to me, how people wrap "extra stuff" around more simple
events. "Guilt" ? I know you use the term loosely, but there is no i)
legal, and most would argue no ii) moral crime here. It may be an iii)
ethical abuse (younger women) but I don't buy that. Jennifer was,
based on her attendance at my TTC the year before, and appearances,
probably 23-24 at the time of her "reading mail" to MMY. (Though she
was was probably not mistaken as 'the chosen one' as Tom apparently
thought he was). 

And she, while graceful and refined, IMO, is not someone I would have
termed as sheltered or naive. Demure perhaps. Adults do things, are
responsible for their choices -- even if they regret them later,  and
are ill-effected by them. 

Perhaps it was  iv) an abuse of power -- teacher / student -- I have
argued that in the past -- but have recanted some. When pants are
down, or dhotis and dresses on the floor, power dynamics may diminish
 -- or reverse, wobble, and occilate -- who has power over whom when
nakedness befalls?   

So who (what crazy bastards :) ) is "assuming guilt" when, at least
IMO, guilt is a non-issue? A more corect rendering of your sentence
would be, IMO,  " Now to assume the truth of the allegations on the
basis of third-hand material is very faulty. "

Well, even then, there is a case being made by SS, see my comments
above on credible sources. But more importantly, even with credible
sources, i don't have terribly strong opinions that the stories are
true or not. I look at it, as many of the uncertainties in life,
probabilistically. 

Much more importantly, i don't have strong reactions one way or
another if SS is true or not. To me, the impact of the stories being
true is not large for me. I figure a yogi knows something more than me
about energy flows. And its his business. And even if not, i don't
walk out on other teachers and mentors because they banged a 24-yr old
attractive blonde. For some, I actually silently applaud.

OK. So if he, naked, was about to have intercourse with a naked
willing 24-yrold participant, but didn't -- is that a huge distinction
for you compared to if he did?  

> Actually, for the record, I suspect 

"I suspect" are key words. Pure opinion, no fact. Much less persuasive
than the SS files.

haha. i smell a conspiracy theory. 

And your suspicions have little basis in the actual history of the
genesis of the files.

Any other possblities? 

Perhaps to share information one found interesting? 

Perhaps to provide some material, which along wit h so much other
material, experiences, knowledge, allows others to make up their minds
on things?

Dear Michael,

Do you recall a few weeks ago when Israel started bombing Lebanon 
and many political pundits from Europe and the Arab world said: 
Israel may have been justified in attacking Hezbollah but their 
response is disproportionate?

Well, you doth protest too much.  Get over it; even if YOUR figures 
are right about initiations, the numbers SUCK.

So don't be so defensive.  The TMO is, basically, dead.  Now, you 
and I both as regular TMers may be unhappy about that but going 
overboard in your defense of a horrible marketing approach on the 
part of the TMO and MMY (one that's been going on for the better 
part of the last 25 years) is sad.  

I'm embarrassed for you.

Let it go.

I'd be happy to revise my opinion, I am not attached one way or the 
other on this subject. 

Same with 'where did the TM teaching come from?', I don't have a 
fixed outcome in mind for that either, though I suspect that MMY's 
teachings were fairly predictably Hindu, until he got close to the 
USA. Coincidentally, it was then that he opted for the 'fixed 
donations' route too.

I believe that as time goes on, the evidence will become more convincing, and you’ll end up revising your opinion. You might already have done so, had you had the conversations I’ve had.

 SSRS has a procedure called the "Eternity
Process" that is done on a one to one basis with
someone trained by him in the process. You
experientially allow yourself to "unstress" specific
samskaras from past lives. I did it about 2 years ago.
Very interesing process. You're not hypnotized and no
content suggestions are made to you. And by the way, I
happened to be one of those slaves that built the
pyramids, but I fell off one of the blocks and
fractured my skull and died. I was 18. At least it was
in my chitta. Another interesting thing was to
experience various people that I'm related too today
popping up in various guises in different past lives.
For instance, in a a past life in Norway in the mid
1800's my youngest daughter is now my wife and my
oldest son is now my father. In that life he drowned
at about the age of 10. Now, is all this true and
actually past lives. I don't have a clue, but it is
amazing at all the naratives the unrole in the
awareness with this process.

2006-08-07 Thread markmeredith2002
Michael's formula is 155 centers x 50 avg initiations.  The 155
centers with recerts seems high - I'm talking about really active
centers, not just an address/phone. The recert course had a little
over 200 CPs as I remember, and about 1/3 were staff who were going
back to staff jobs, so that leaves about 155.  Every single recert I
know who went out to teach TM has since come back due to inability to
support themselves.  The ones I know who are still out are focused on
real estate work, not initiations.  Obviously I don't know the vast
majority of recerts, but assuming some are teaching as couples I just
don't see how you get 155 active centers run by recerts.  

Michael goes to great length to show that his area of 6 million is
about average financially.  The pop. of the US is about 50 times
greater than his area, so if his area really is average then you could
estimate total US initiations at 50 x 50 avg initiations, or 2550 total.  

Who knows if SE Florida is average as for as TM initiations go?  I
think Michael mentioned in the past that an MD and his wife were the
recerts there -- if that's right then they would represent an above
average quality level of intro lecturer, at least as important as the
financial demographics.

Of course, there would be no need for debate if the TMO released
figures.  Didn't someone post some info on the official number of
inititations last year?  Can anyone find this info??

[FairfieldLife] [was Re: Number of people learning TM ] Vaj's trap

2006-08-07 Thread Paul Mason
I have been practising transcendental meditation regularly for well 
over three decades now, but that has not made me a 'true believer'. 
But, I am a firm believer about one thing at least and that is in 
using proper methodology for the purposes of detection work. 

The whole sex scandal story about MMY has made extremelely dodgey 
reading since the first claims filtered through into the public 
domain, and the stories have sounded no more clear as time has gone 
on. Now to assume MMY's 'guilt' on the basis of third-hand material 
is very faulty. 

So for me the problem I have with the 'Sexy Sadie' file is not about 
whether it has been published, just that it does not 'scan' well. In 
fact many years ago I had the same feeling about Erik Von Daniken's 
books, and then I watched a documentary which took his claims apart 
and then confronted the man (who wriggled uncomfortably, made a few 
shifty comments and retreated into silence looking very frightened 
indeed).

In the case of the allegations about MMYs sexuality it is not that I 
disbelieve all the claims made, just that I doubt MMY ever had actual 
sexual intercourse with a woman (however close he might have come). 
Actually, for the record, I suspect that most if not all the material 
currently circulating about MMYs alleged sexuality has been put about 
solely to discredit MMY, simple as that, a rather ramshackle attempt 
at cocking a snoot at him, rather than an orchestrated attack, but 
perhaps a mixture of both.

Exploratory tangent: 

What does precise spelling matter, if the meaning is clear?
Did you think I was referring to a different breed, perhaps different
species, other than Dalmatians. like those tanzanian birds the
"Dalmations" (a made up species).  And did you think I was not 
referring to a horse, despite the prior horse contextual reference,
and that I was perhaps referring to something other than a palomino
horse -- like perhaps a palamino olive? :)

Not sure why you’d want my opinion, but I tend to agree with the above. “Most men live lives of quiet desperation,” thus most people’s past lives are probably as dreary as their current one, maybe more so, if you agree with MMY’s comment that the past is always a lesser developed state. It may be, though, that the recent lifetimes of people nearing enlightenment in this lifetime (many on this forum) have been more interesting.

to develop a whole beleif system, an new epistimology perhaps, about
TM, or "non"TM? What kind of person actually does that? On this list i
find a whole spctrum of experiences, logic, faith, hope, dogma,
analysis, cognitive errors and ego barricades about TM or "nonTM" --
but few if any "belief systems.  Do these systems begin with basic
axioms? And work out to postulates?

 
> > Or even by those who insist that their new belief
> > system be well supported, 

People insist that others support their own personal belief systems?
Even assuming that you mean beliefs and and not belief systems, i
don't see a lot of insistance that "others must believe my beliefs". 
Granted, there is at times a lot of odd fist pounding, irrationality,
name calling, rudeness, cognitive and factual errors, etc. And at
times, rarer than in the past, there are great expressions of facts,
reason and well digested/inner-interpreted experiences. A lot of what
is going on here, IMO, is people working out and refining their own
beliefs -- as they attempt to show others the merits of a particular
view. 

And if you you don't believe me, I will throw a tantrum . I INSIST you
believe ME! :)

Since the Movement is so good at blowing its own horn -- I think most 
people would agree they've got it down to a science -- why aren't they 
talking it up, issuing press releases and telling all the Invincible 
America course participants about these initiation numbers?

Why, at 35+ years on, would the Movement suddenly stop blowing its own 
horn about the success of the recertified teachers? 

The Movement has a major credibility issue not only with those who do 
not follow it any longer, but even the TBs are cynical or at least wary 
of claims made by the TMO -- even if the claims are true.

One case in point: Any idea when those pundits are going to show up in 
FF? I was recently cleaning out some saved e-mails and found one from 
Diane Comey announcing: "The Pundits Are Coming" So where are they? 
A lot of the faithful who would truly LIKE to be faithful have lost 
faith and moved on.

2006-08-07 Thread Jason Spock



      AntidoteEnd to central planning Thursday July 27 2006 16:49 IST  by  Sauvik ChakravertiO a central planner, the problem is simple: resources are ‘given’ and these have to be ‘allocated’ according to known ‘priorities’. However, to those who believe in free markets, the problem is different. Resources are not ‘given’ to any one mind. The resources themselves, and the knowledge of their potential alternative uses, are entirely scattered amongst the
 populace. The solution, then, is to allow each individual perfect liberty with which to carry out his own plans regarding consumption, investment, saving and so on, completely outside government control. Instead of Manmohan, Montek & Co, let’s have each citizen as a free planner of his own economic life: one billion free individuals as purposeful economic agents. Note that this dispersed and disaggregated individual planning is instrumental in getting us all our daily needs. Fruits and vegetables are abundantly available to us because the decisions to grow, to wholesale, to retail and to buy are all separately taken by millions of free individuals. No one mind planned how many mangoes will be bought or sold in any market or at any price. Individual orchard owners, individual wholesalers and individual retailers took independent, competitive decisions based on their own plans. Hence mangoes are abundantly available. If there had been a Ministry of
 Mangoes, we wouldn’t get any, because a single mind cannot obtain the ‘knowledge’ required for the task. Central planning fails for precisely this reason: we don’t get roads, electricity and water because all these are being planned. With free markets, all these would be abundant as independent businessmen made independent investments and attempted to supply our needs. This is already visible now, when phones, cars, motorcycles and scooters are abundantly available: these were scarce under planning. As Milton Friedman cautioned: ‘‘If you give the Sahara Desert to the government, there will be a shortage of sand in five years.’’  As another Nobel laureate, Friedrich Hayek warned, ‘‘Where governments plan, the private plans of citizens fail.’’ The sheer marvel of the free market is that it enables us to use resources and knowledge without any conscious mind controlling it. The market mechanism and the price
 system that guides it are not of human design and do not need human guidance. (They could do with more human appreciation of their wonder and indispensability!) They enable us to extend the span of our utilisation of resources far, far beyond the control of any single mind. The marvel of the free market enables us to solve the problem of resource allocation without the need for any conscious direction. We can throw out government planning. Further, the price system provides the necessary inducements to each individual to do desirable things like using resources ‘economically’ (like save on petrol when prices rise) without anyone having to tell him what to do. For this understanding, humanity owes a great debt to Friedrich August von Hayek. One of the most curious decisions of the Nobel Prize committee was making Hayek share the 1974 Economics prize with the high priest of central planning for Third World countries, Gunnar Myrdal. The Indian government then hugely
 felicitated Myrdal, bestowing on him the Jawaharlal Nehru award. Hayek was entirely ignored by Bharat Sarkar. Why? Gunnar Myrdal believed that the poor people of the Third World were hopelessly so, unable to take rational economic decisions in the market and therefore in need of these decisions being taken for them by an ‘intellectual-moral elite’: central planners. Expertise made them an intellectual elite; and their immunity to the profit motive that guides businessmen made them a moral elite. Myrdal believed that central planners of Third World countries like India were Platonic Guardians. The masses of ordinary people were illiterate and irrational, or just plain stupid. If Gunnar Myrdal had ever stepped into any Third World market, he would have seen there that the poorest people scout around most energetically to get the best deals. Poor people bargain hard — while the rich get easily conned! Like all socialists, including Amartya Sen, Myrdal believed
 that angelic superminds served the state while the people were dumb and dumber. Myrdal supported central planning; Amartya supports education: both believe that ‘knowledge’ exists in the state and that the ignorant people are in need of this knowledge. The state should plan the economy; the state should educate the people. The state is a fount of knowledge. Today, it is time to recognise the fact that it is this socialist state that is ignorant. Our shoddy public administration proves it. Its ‘education’ is but propaganda: What else is the subject called ‘Indian Economics’, by which the young are forced to study every 5-Year Plan ever made, from the 1st to the 11th? On the other hand, the people

i am not challenging you on the rules, but i read a lot of wikipedia,
and there LOTS of statements without cites. In time, more cites come.
But articles without exhastive cites are not, generally, deleted.
Articles get better over time.

i find Wiki to be an incredible resourse.

And I love their related projects.

WikiBooks -- textbooks on many of not all subjects eventually -- free
of charge, and instantly distributable.

WikiSource --  free online text content

WikiCommons -- free online media content

And my favorite 

Wikiversity -- developing -- but eventually on-line lectures, course
materials, tests, certification, etc, for all disciplines.
potentially, a free, on-line, university education for anyone world wide.

i don't know if you textually attack ex-GFs or not. :) 

However, while I am sure you can cite examples of the SS material
being used to "justify attacks on people and organizations" -- i don't
think thats the majority use. If I am typical, I read it, said ok,
"interesting" -- raised some issues about bias and perspective (Ned
comes to mind) --  and then went ahead with my day. I didn't use the
material to attack M or the TMO. I doubt more than a handful of
readers use it  that way. Except of course the "sociopaths" :)

A good portion of them actually. It took almost forever. Do you recall a period 
on this

True enough. Wikipedia requires some kind of citation for everything. There are 
quite a 
few guidelines for what can be said and how it must be cited and what kind of 
citations are 
acceptable.

Just to point out that the dependence on the Sexy Sadie and other such material 
that is 
used to justify much of what is said here doesn't even rise to the level of 
relibability a 
Wikipedia entry.

Is such information used to justify attacks on people and organizations? Is 
such used to 
justify the arguments made in favor of such attacks?

Ya know, Michael, you really could stand to drop the
"big smile" thing when you know you're about to tear
somebody (albeit deservedly) into little shreds, at
least unless you make it clear it isn't a *friendly*

Otherwise it makes you look very unpleasantly

[FairfieldLife] Prudhoe Bay pipeline shut down

2006-08-07 Thread authfriend
BP: Pipeline closing may last for months

By MARY PEMBERTON, Associated Press Writer

BP PLC said Monday it will replace 73 percent of the pipelines from 
the nation's largest oil field and that production could be closed 
for weeks or months, crimping the nation's oil supplies at a time of 
peak demand.

BP, the world's second-largest oil company, began shutting down the 
pipelines on Monday and said it would replace 16 miles of the 22 
miles of transit pipeline it operates in the Prudhoe Bay field 
following a leak discovered Sunday.

Company officials told a news conference they did not immediately 
know how much it would cost to replace the lines. They will continue 
to keep the oil field closed and bring parts back into service once 
it's safe to do so.

Once complete, the shutdown will cut production by 400,000 barrels a 
day, about 2.6 percent of supply including imports, according to data 
from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The news drove oil 
prices up by $2 a barrel and boosted gasoline prices.

"BP deeply regrets it has been necessary for us to take this drastic 
action," said Bob Malone, chairman of BP America.

Peter and Paul are referring to quite a large volume of posts written
prior to your arrival. Did you go through the archives and read them all?

Opps. Your impression? You mean you are saying a generally wonderful
set of posts and exchanges, and/or their references, is piss-poor --
and you have not even read them? Oh My!

I assume Wiki would not rely on your impressions either. Since they
are um "piss-poor".

But your Wiki reference is instersting. Is your logic stream leading
you to conclude that if something is not published, it is unreliable?
If not, why did you bring up the Wiki reference?

Do you know what is in your refrigerator? Or what your GF, if and when
you have one, likes? Are these things published anywhere? Is your
informatin for such matters relaible?
