[FairfieldLife] Living is a process of continual dying
Nicely said. That's what I was trying to convey in my rap about different selves dying and new ones taking their place, with regard to the Tibetan Book of the Dead. One of the reasons Leary and Alpert co-opted the Book of the Dead as a manual for acidheads in The Psychedelic Experience is that parts of it relate very strongly to the coming down phase of that drug's effect. LSD (whatever its possible drawbacks) allowed many people a direct experience of Unity and selflessness. The problem (if there was one) was when coming down from that perception, and trying to reintegrate one's new perception of self into normal life and reconcile it with one's former perceptions of self. There was a tendency to want to cling to old ways of seeing the world, and of seeing the self. That's where the Book of the Dead becomes handy when viewing the process of growing up as the continual death of old selves and the rebirth of new ones. In a very real sense, the old me is dead and gone. Toast. It's bleedin' demised, an ex-parrot. :-) But because we don't yet have a strong sense of the new self, there is a tendency to cling to memories of the old self, and to its modes of perception and of functioning. There is a sense of selflessness to the new self, and that is tough for most people to live with; they prefer to have something comforting to cling to that they consider their self. And, just as some people remember their past physical lives, when we go through a major spiritual transformation and end up wearing a new self, there are some lingering memories of the past selves. In the world view I'm talking about, trying to cling to these old ideas of self is a Bad Idea. They were appropriate for a former self, in its former state of attention. They may not be approp- riate for the new self and its current state of attention. Attempting to cling to them merely causes cognitive dissonance, and often psychological problems. (Just think in more psychoanalytic terms, those people who are still carrying around memories of being hurt years or decades ago. They allow these lingering memories to color all of their perceptions in their present lives, often to their detriment.) Anyway, some of the techniques and knowledge that are expressed in the Book of the Dead can be useful when going through one of these serious transfor- mations from one self to another. They present reminders that one is *not* what one thought one was, that one is *not* the old self (and in fact is *not* the current self, either). They can be an aid in letting go of the past and living in the here and now. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Louis McKenzie [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: All of the cells in the human body die and are born in regular cycles.

I thought I was possessed. Ah Ha! I thought TM is BULLSHIT. ALL LIES I thought they say all of this about life I just died. I thought I had died in meditation. My whole group went out of the room they thought I was flipping. Another off the wall statement. Anyway that was another way to die. Yet now at nearly 50 those days are memories of another life. Today I live in Brasil then I lived in Iowa. The one good thing about living many lifetimes in one body is that I can still call home. Have you ever tried to call a dead relative? Not easy. Well atleast when you live many lifetimes in one body you can still call home. Maybe one day we will be able to communicate with our dead in this same way. Some people you can see in their palms they two life lines on one palm. Some will show in their charts that they burn oof much karma in one phase of their life and the other phase is without negative karma. Our individual daily life is a reflection of our macro life. The idea is to burn the karma while in one body so anything you do after is simply conscious choice. On the physical your body is birthing and dying everyday.. - Original Message From: sparaig

I also like key limes, but your ability to allow them to totally ripen on the tree is where the magic happens. I am jealous. I also have kafir lime plant and use the leaves.

Nothing, neither we advice on religion, nor diets, nor anything, do's and don'ts we don't talk about. Simply, innocently teach the practice, give the knowledge pertaining to the practice, satisfy all the doubt and questions regarding understanding and then leave the man to be with his tradition, with his culture, with his way of life, with everything that he wants to do. Just 15 minutes morning and evening. He can practice hundreds of meditations, we don't mind. As long as he does this 15-minutes, 20- minutes morning and evening, he will enjoy, begin to enjoy everything that he will do, either meditation or no meditation or whatever. Whatever he will do in life, he will begin to enjoy more because everything will become more meaningful. Just we concern ourselves with this practical aspect of this science. Simple. Very simple, very natural. One of the strengths of the World Plan is this innocence of our Movement, we never go into any other area except Transcendental Meditation.

Me: All the Ethiopians I talked with cut the Teff flour with self-rising white flour. Some use half and half, some even more white flour. You need the glutton in the flour for it to hold together. That may have been what made yours unwieldy, not enough flour. Teff has not glutton. You need baking powder to get it to rise and make those cool holes and the spongy texture. Even though most baking is a science, and exact measurements should be possible, I don't cook that way so I can't give you a recipe. There are some on the Web and I started there. I am a sourdough nut so I knew that the real traditional Ethiopian Injera must have been made with sourdough cultures. This is the most amazing baking secret I have ever learned. (adding hype and suspense!) http://www.sourdo.com/ This guy is the sourdough paramguru. He sells specific cultures of lactobacillus bacteria paired with the unique wild yeast of specific regions from the world. No more hit or miss breads made from the anemic yeasts of your own area. These are the world famous single cell couples who dance like Astaire and Rogers together. It makes all the difference in the world. I have been using the San Francisco culture for years and the flavor is off the charts. I also have a quicker rising one from Russia that lacks some of the flavor, but is faster growing when I am in a hurry. There are plenty of great regular yeasted breads in local markets in DC. But nobody sells the kind of funky sourdough, wholegrain bread that I can make with these cultures. I even use it at Christmas for traditional Stollen breads, made like in the Middle Ages with sourdough in a sweet bread. Back to Injera...I use the San Fran culture with a mix of Teff and the white whole wheat King Arther Flour (it is whole wheat but lighter and softer than the usual whole wheat) and a little all purpose flour and let it ferment with my culture for 3 days. I love sour so you may not want it to go this long. I usually add some baking powder to the batter, and a little salt, lightly oil the no-stick pan, on medium-high heat, and put a top on it while it cooks to steam the bread a little. I usually turn it over once, although this is not traditional. It is not precisely the texture of good light spongy Injera, but the flavor is fantastic. I am still balancing those two factors, but it always come out plenty good enough. I make a mixed veggie curry, sometimes using goat meat, and pick it up with pieces of the breads hot off the skillet. I hope that helps. This is a worthy mission. I feel as though I am connected with early humans figuring out cool ways to eat when I make this kind of primitive bread. Let me know what you have learned. 2) how do you then make the injera: on a frying pan? With or without oil? What else can you tell me that I need to know? I've tried making it before with usually disasterous results (firstly, I didn't cut the tef with millet and the sour flavor was TOO sour! and, secondly, the crepe was too unwieldy for me). --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, shempmcgurk [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: about a week ago you posted something about Ethiopean food.

Do you think any of the rajas are NOT loyal to MMY and the TMO? Each of the rajas have given MMY at least $1 million and maybe much more, so that's a strong incentive to stay loyal because to not stay loyal is in effect admitted you were gullible to give someone who didn't deserve it a ton of money.

You are SO RIGHT about the avocado and Kit mango trees! We practically fast on them and add the avocado pits to smoothies. But about the Meyer lemons, the key limes from our tree beat them out, esp. if left on the tree to ripen so much that they fall off. They have a complex taste, about 5 tastes in one. We tried a Sweet Lemon tree (a Middle Eastern fruit apparently) and they really did taste like lemonade! Unfortunately they never developed any juiciness no matter what we did. It might be because we're in FL not Cal.; we couldn't get juicy blood oranges and pomegranates either. We also have a kaffir lime tree which we use for the leaves. It has never fruited so I don't know what they're like. I haven't been able to detect the taste of the pit yet. It's supposed to be an excellent source of soluble fiber so the smoothie is more satisfying for longer than the usual fruity smoothie and keeps my blood sugar level even. One pit goes into a 4-smoothie batch (blended by a 3 horsepower K-tec). We throw it in whole because it's too hard to cut. The blender has no trouble with it though, whereas there is always a grit left after it blends blackberry or pomegranate seeds. On the internet I only found 1 mention of ingesting it: it is grated and used medicinally in Mexico. Looks like the whole tree is toxic to many animals but when we had our pet iguanas they lunged at avocado leaves with pure glee. An iguana whisperer suggested once that this is because avocadoes and cinnamon are in the same family. The iguanas also loved leaves from our cinnamon tree. We learned of adding the pit to smoothies at a raw foodist class regarding using smoothies for healing. That lack of any mention on the internet to back this up makes me wonder! Not that the internet is authoritative about anything, but gee, I'm not going to rave about eating avocado pits all day every day and that everybody should do it! You can use the inner pit of the mango too, and in some countries it's ground and used as flour, but it's too much work for me to get it out of its casing, plus so many people have allergies to the tree around here that I'm not eager to eat more parts of the mango. (It's in the same family as poison ivy. Pink peppercorns, and cashews too--another tree that's so toxic, people can die from the fumes of roasting the cashews. Even the cashews sold as 'raw' have been heated to become edible.) Raw foodists make amazing things with the avocado flesh, such as chocolate mousse!

Now the dates of the Khumba Mela are set to the specific location using astrological calculations based upon the placement of planet Jupiter, also there are ardha-Khumbas held every 6 years on the Jamuna River. ...The Kumbha Mela takes place every four years in rotation at Haridwar, Prayag (Allahabad), Nasik and Ujjain, according to the placement of Jupiter in the Zodiac. A modern innovation, there are also popular half-melas, ardha-kumbhas, every six years at Haridwar and Prayag. It is at Prayag, where the Yamuna River joins the Ganga, that the largest number of human beings in history gathered--15 million on February 6, 1989. Haridwar, logistically less convenient, managed ten million on April 14, 1998. Still, that's five times this year's two million Muslim pilgrims who journeyed to Mecca for the Haj, the second largest gathering... http://www.hinduismtoday.com/archives/1998/9/1998-9-11.shtml Now AJ Ji..,what were lead to believe that photo is?? According to Steve Perino, no pundit worth his salt would make the claim that would insinutate a group of pundits chanting Vedic verses could change the course of human events i won't address poor Sir Lawson Ji until his doctors have screened him for paranoia delusional behavior. But having said that- if indeed that was a world peace gathering in Prayag in 1944(which i am not sayning it was).. It sadly did not have the desired effect as how many estimated millions died during Summer 1944 and Summer 1945 in WWII?? How many a-bombs did we drop on Japan in the Summer of 1945? I never commented on the efficacy of such programs, merely on your claim that they are not traditional. Namaste Sir Lawson Ji.., i must politely inquire-, are you off your meds again?.. and when did i *EVER* say yagya was-, not traditional?? Stop making this stuff up!!..i am stop posting to you if you don't get professional help. I ask again: what is a mahayagya and... what is it FOR? Pancha Mahayagya has a fivefold(hence Pancha) with desired personal results for all aspects of family life with regards to *PERSONAL* spiritual upliftment: 1. DEVOTION TOWARDS PARENTS 2. DEVOTION AND FAITHFULNESS TOWARDS THE HUSBAND 3. EQUALITY 4. RIGHT CONDUCT AND CHARACTER 5.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Question for Curtis
Thanks so much for the detailed response! Now I gotta find the time to experiment and make it. My ideal meal is to have injera with some dahls as well as gomen wat (the collard green dish). --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, curtisdeltablues [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Shemp, Sorry that I missed your question about Injera bread. This project is a work in progress so I'll tell you what I have learned so far. You: 1) what is the ratio to millet, tef, and water that you make the initial mixture out of and how long do you ferment it before it becomes a useable pancake dough. Me: All the Ethiopians I talked with cut the Teff flour with self-rising white flour. Some use half and half, some even more white flour. You need the glutton in the flour for it to hold together. That may have been what made yours unwieldy, not enough flour. Teff has not glutton. You need baking powder to get it to rise and make those cool holes and the spongy texture. Even though most baking is a science, and exact measurements should be possible, I don't cook that way so I can't give you a recipe. There are some on the Web and I started there. I am a sourdough nut so I knew that the real traditional Ethiopian Injera must have been made with sourdough cultures. This is the most amazing baking secret I have ever learned. (adding hype and suspense!) http://www.sourdo.com/ This guy is the sourdough paramguru. He sells specific cultures of lactobacillus bacteria paired with the unique wild yeast of specific regions from the world. No more hit or miss breads made from the anemic yeasts of your own area. These are the world famous single cell couples who dance like Astaire and Rogers together. It makes all the difference in the world. I have been using the San Francisco culture for years and the flavor is off the charts. I also have a quicker rising one from Russia that lacks some of the flavor, but is faster growing when I am in a hurry. There are plenty of great regular yeasted breads in local markets in DC. But nobody sells the kind of funky sourdough, wholegrain bread that I can make with these cultures. I even use it at Christmas for traditional Stollen breads, made like in the Middle Ages with sourdough in a sweet bread. Back to Injera...I use the San Fran culture with a mix of Teff and the white whole wheat King Arther Flour (it is whole wheat but lighter and softer than the usual whole wheat) and a little all purpose flour and let it ferment with my culture for 3 days. I love sour so you may not want it to go this long. I usually add some baking powder to the batter, and a little salt, lightly oil the no-stick pan, on medium-high heat, and put a top on it while it cooks to steam the bread a little. I usually turn it over once, although this is not traditional. It is not precisely the texture of good light spongy Injera, but the flavor is fantastic. I am still balancing those two factors, but it always come out plenty good enough. I make a mixed veggie curry, sometimes using goat meat, and pick it up with pieces of the breads hot off the skillet. I hope that helps. This is a worthy mission. I feel as though I am connected with early humans figuring out cool ways to eat when I make this kind of primitive bread. Let me know what you have learned. 2) how do you then make the injera: on a frying pan? With or without oil? What else can you tell me that I need to know? I've tried making it before with usually disasterous results (firstly, I didn't cut the tef with millet and the sour flavor was TOO sour! and, secondly, the crepe was too unwieldy for me). --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, shempmcgurk shempmcgurk@ wrote: about a week ago you posted something about Ethiopean food.

I make flat breads on a nice thick pizza stone, that makes a huge difference for all breads including pizzas. I recently went to NYC to see how they make pizzas in the last few remaining coal ovens, Grimaldi's in Brooklyn is one. Coal cooks at 800 degrees compared to about 600 for a wood oven. They get a char on the bread and I was chasing that flavor in my own oven. I figured out how to do it in my gas oven. I put the pizza stone on the bottom of the oven and crank it up to broil to pre-heat for almost an hour, Then I cook the thinly rolled pizza for about 5 minutes. After that I put it under the broiler to broil the top for another 3 minutes. I swear it is as good as any pizza in NYC's coal ovens! I spend some time here in DC talking to traditional cooks about how they make their foods. I find that it is the best way to start a conversation with people from other cultures. Lately I am chasing traditional Ethiopian Injera bread made from Tev, millet flour. Ah, now you're talking about my favourite cuisine. I had heard of Ethiopian cuisine for over 20 years and never bothered to try it. Well, I was dragged to one about 5 years ago and it instantly became my favourite. Injera is incredible and although the restaurant I go to offers meat dishes it just isn't necessary with all the wonderful vegetarian dishes available in this cuisine. Making injera: yes, I've tried on two or three occasions to make it myself. I bought a whole bunch of tef on-line and let me tell you: it was incredibly difficult to make...not the mixing and fermenting part (which took about 2 or 3 days) but the actual making of the crepe-like injera. And I thought making dosa was hard...it's a cinch compared to injera. Have you tried it yet? If so, what were your experiences? Also, what ratio did you do the millet to tef...and did you mix the millet in with the tef before the fermenting (I assume you did)? I've become quite friendly with the owner of the Ethiopian who owns the restaurant I frequent. He has an almost religious dedication to tef, which he claims is the most complete grain on the planet (hey, all those gold-winning Ethiopian long-distance runners all grew up on it, so there's gotta be something to it!). All I know is, I can have a stomach ache before eating Ethiopean and, after, it will be gone. Most Ethiopians here don't even bother to make it, they just buy it.

Scientific studies that debunk the dire predictions of human-caused global warming have continued to accumulate and many believe the new science is shattering the media-promoted scientific "consensus" on climate alarmism. Claude Allegre, a former government official and an active member of France's Socialist Party, wrote an editorial on September 21, 2006 in the French newspaper L'Express titled "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" (For English Translation, click here: http://epw.senate. gov/fact. cfm?party=repid= 264835 ) detailing his newfound skepticism about manmade global warming. See: http://www.lexpress .fr/idees/ tribunes/ dossier/allegre/ dossier.asp?ida=451670 Allegre wrote that the "cause of climate change remains unknown" and pointed out that Kilimanjaro is not losing snow due to global warming, but to local land use and precipitation changes. Allegre also pointed out that studies show that Antarctic snowfall rate has been stable over the past 30 years and the continent is actually gaining ice. "Following the month of August experienced by the northern half of France, the prophets of doom of global warming will have a lot on their plate in order to make our fellow countrymen swallow their certitudes," Allegre wrote. He also accused proponents of manmade catastrophic global warming of being motivated by money, noting that "the ecology of helpless protesting has become a very lucrative business for some people!" Allegre, a member of both the French and U.S. Academy of Sciences, had previously expressed concern about manmade global warming. "By burning fossil fuels, man enhanced the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which has raised the global mean temperature by half a degree in the last century," Allegre wrote 20 years ago. In addition, Allegre was one of 1500 scientists who signed a November 18, 1992 letter titled "World Scientists' Warning to Humanity" in which the scientists warned that global warming's "potential risks are very great." See: http://homepages. ihug.co.nz/ ~sai/sciwarn. html Allegre has authored more than 100 scientific articles, written 11 books and received numerous scientific awards including the Goldschmidt Medal from the Geochemical Society of the United States. Allegre's conversion to a climate skeptic comes at a time when global warming alarmists have insisted that there is a "consensus" about manmade global warming.

[FairfieldLife] Re: I love Maharishi. Why?
Lurk, Rick and Curtis, Your comments all so kind. Thank you. Above the fray. Well let me explain. I have spent a lot of time bemoaning all that I think is wrong or misguided. One can spiral down doing that. I have spent much time looking forward to an expected cull brought on by human foolishness. However although I still embrace catastrophe as a means for change I have started to believe in a new paradigm. This is that there are 12 time lines of parallel realities i.e 12 futures for those here on earth now. This is more than just a wheat and a chaff division. Compatible energies will have a similar future. These 12 time lines seem destined to hive off soon. I take great comfort in the thought that I will soon no longer be sharing my world with incompatible energies. Therefore I get a warm feeling in my heart for my future and that leaves little room for bitching. There is SO much that is just not right for me here on earth now I could spend all day swearing. It seems better to think happily of the splitting away of those 12 time lines. Goodbye can be such a cheerful word sometimes don't you think? By the way some of these ideas came from www.opterra.com. I am on a forum there, for which one pays monthly. You might be surprised to know I was almost kicked off for being a subversive agent! All I did was point out to a charming poster who in alluding to unity consciousness described herself as a leaf floating on the ocean an image I said that implied duality and that the wave and ocean analogy was more philosophically correct. Courteous as I think I am it was construed as seeking a fight. From memories of how some folk on FFL behave you wouldn't last 10 seconds there. They are all generally in agreement and mostly always supportive of each other. The site has made me realize that someone can be highly intelligent, informed, intuitive and yet quite possibly be a little mad. However I mostly find the eccentric charming and my life has been greatly enriched by the odd. . What I also like about the 12 futures is that it is not a heaven/hell judgement. You just go where you are most suited and that seems a good solution. Moreover as energies for change flood our earth as they currently do, they provide stimulus for the hiving off. They boost what one focuses on or where one's heart is. As one's life is what one attends to, so also will be one's future. Is all this true? I don't know; life is so mysterious. Do I believe it? Perhaps and it helps me get through my day. I just don't recognize the world so many people seem to be living in as my world. If that is to be above the fray then I guess that is where I am. Any way I have enough of my own fray to deal with. I haven`t been on this site since Nov when I went on my round the world trip so I don't know if there have been more Maharishi dark revelations but I am aware of the earlier stories. Troubling I know. However, in his core, Maharishi has wanted to help and I think he has done so. He taught me 1) I could do nothing more fundamental to change the world than changing my awareness and taught me how to do that. 2) Knowledge is structured in consciousness. If I look at the facts the world provides this is hard to prove. But if I look at my personal world it seems valid for apart from some slips and blips I see a world of love. This morning I put some more of my large garden to bed. A frog hopped towards its winter bed under a big pile of mulch, from where it will emerge in the Spring to eat slugs. I greeted it with affection as a companero. Chickadees start their own sunflowers in the garden and in Fall eat the seeds. As they flit amongst the 8 foot tall plants I call to them `hello sweetheart'. .My well tended soil gives me wonderful vegetables and fruit. How can I not see love in all that balance and ripeness. So it depends on what you want to see. I was taught that when something of beauty is seen to love it for the earth as we know it is passing away. It is apparently vanishing in turmoil. That is one view; but that is the splitting off of the time lines. The world that some people inhabit is just not mine at all so why worry about them. They have their future and I have mine. As I think of my future in a world of love I get a delicious feeling in my heart. We have choices. We can yap angrily as life passes by or we can grab in by the handful and love it. I think Maharishi has done the latter. He has taken two huge handfuls of life. And once he took my hands for a while and that has made all the difference.

A wonderful post (like the former), sweet words and fine sentiments. Thank you. ** --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, David Fiske [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Lurk, Rick and Curtis, Your comments all so kind. Thank you. Above the fray. Well let me explain. I have spent a lot of time bemoaning all that I think is wrong or misguided. One can spiral down doing that. I have spent much time looking forward to an expected cull brought on by human foolishness. However although I still embrace catastrophe as a means for change I have started to believe in a new paradigm. This is that there are 12 time lines of parallel realities i.e 12 futures for those here on earth now. This is more than just a wheat and a chaff division. Compatible energies will have a similar future. These 12 time lines seem destined to hive off soon. I take great comfort in the thought that I will soon no longer be sharing my world with incompatible energies. Therefore I get a warm feeling in my heart for my future and that leaves little room for bitching. There is SO much that is just not right for me here on earth now I could spend all day swearing. It seems better to think happily of the splitting away of those 12 time lines. Goodbye can be such a cheerful word sometimes don't you think? By the way some of these ideas came from www.opterra.com. I am on a forum there, for which one pays monthly. You might be surprised to know I was almost kicked off for being a subversive agent! All I did was point out to a charming poster who in alluding to unity consciousness described herself as a leaf floating on the ocean an image I said that implied duality and that the wave and ocean analogy was more philosophically correct. Courteous as I think I am it was construed as seeking a fight. From memories of how some folk on FFL behave you wouldn't last 10 seconds there. They are all generally in agreement and mostly always supportive of each other. The site has made me realize that someone can be highly intelligent, informed, intuitive and yet quite possibly be a little mad. However I mostly find the eccentric charming and my life has been greatly enriched by the odd. . What I also like about the 12 futures is that it is not a heaven/hell judgement. You just go where you are most suited and that seems a good solution. Moreover as energies for change flood our earth as they currently do, they provide stimulus for the hiving off. They boost what one focuses on or where one's heart is. As one's life is what one attends to, so also will be one's future. Is all this true? I don't know; life is so mysterious. Do I believe it? Perhaps and it helps me get through my day. I just don't recognize the world so many people seem to be living in as my world. If that is to be above the fray then I guess that is where I am. Any way I have enough of my own fray to deal with. I haven`t been on this site since Nov when I went on my round the world trip so I don't know if there have been more Maharishi dark revelations but I am aware of the earlier stories. Troubling I know. However, in his core, Maharishi has wanted to help and I think he has done so. He taught me 1) I could do nothing more fundamental to change the world than changing my awareness and taught me how to do that. 2) Knowledge is structured in consciousness. If I look at the facts the world provides this is hard to prove. But if I look at my personal world it seems valid for apart from some slips and blips I see a world of love. This morning I put some more of my large garden to bed. A frog hopped towards its winter bed under a big pile of mulch, from where it will emerge in the Spring to eat slugs. I greeted it with affection as a companero. Chickadees start their own sunflowers in the garden and in Fall eat the seeds. As they flit amongst the 8 foot tall plants I call to them `hello sweetheart'. .My well tended soil gives me wonderful vegetables and fruit. How can I not see love in all that balance and ripeness. So it depends on what you want to see. I was taught that when something of beauty is seen to love it for the earth as we know it is passing away. It is apparently vanishing in turmoil. That is one view; but that is the splitting off of the time lines. The world that some people inhabit is just not mine at all so why worry about them. They have their future and I have mine. As I think of my future in a world of love I get a delicious feeling in my heart. We have choices. We can yap angrily as life passes by or we can grab in by the handful and love it. I think Maharishi has done the latter. He has taken two huge handfuls of life. And once he took my hands for a while and that has made all the difference.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Vedic Pandits - etiquette
I once had a business partner who always knew the most negative outcome for any thing we tried to do. He thought his skepticim made him intelligent. One day I asked him do you believe in this idea that thought is creative? He said no because that made him as the term has been used an idiot. I just looked at him. I asked what do you gain in being right with any of these thoughts? Answer: Nothing. SO do you think knowing this answer that does nothing for you makes you intelligent? I explained I would prefer to be absolutely wrong if that was my thought. We are trained that sketicism is a sign of some of intelligence. SO if I have a negative thought about something and it comes out to be true that makes me intelligent. WRONG! Sometimes it is best not to know and not to be right. I pray that this experiment with Vedic Pundits is an absolute success. Then I pray that more countries do the same. If this could happen all over the world WOW! Maybe we will stop the killing in Iraq and other parts of the world. Maybe Israel will realize that killing Palestinians is quite the same as was done to them in the past.

Halloween means I find a restaurant and a movie to go see rather than be bugged answering the door all night long. I bet some of you do the same. Since I don't have kids I enjoy being the mayor of munchkin town for an evening. When we were kids we used to perform a trick for our treat. Did anyone else grow up with that custom? I used to recite an ever so ribald poem to the slightly toasted adults in our neighborhood. It was a formative experience for me becoming a performer. I think that was a nicer custom than the slightly menacing give us a treat or we play a trick on your house vibe of some kids today. It made me practice, and having to deliver the poem so many times really helped me understand how to deliver it for laughs. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, ffia1120 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: As a kid, I always liked Halloween more than Christmas.

[FairfieldLife] Lynch's new book
Borders, and Barnes and Noble United States bookstore chains have both selected three-time Oscar-nominated director David Lynch's soon- to-be-released new book, 'Catching the Big Fish: Meditation, Consciousness, and Creativity' (Tarcher/Penguin) for a special sales promotion in more than 1,600 stores throughout the US. The book, which can currently be pre-ordered at Amazon.com, officially goes on sale December 28th and will be prominently showcased, from January 1 to 29, on sales tables in the front area of every single Borders, Barnes Noble, and Walden book stores in the nation, as well as hundreds of independent book stores. Called the film director of our era, Lynch writes beautifullyin simple, penetrating, profound and captivating wordsabout Transcendental Meditation, creativity, and film in the book. Despite his incredibly busy schedule promoting his new film at the same time, Lynch has also agreed to do major national publicity, including traveling to a few key US cities in January. In addition, Lynch's literary agent is working with top publishers representing more than 50 countries throughout Europe, Asia, and South America for translation and international distribution of the book for a release date in March or April of 2007. Here are excerpts from Amazon.com editorial reviews on Catching the Big Fish: In Catching the Big Fish, Lynch writes candidly about the tremendous creative benefits he has gained from his thirty-two-year commitment to practicing Transcendental Meditation. In brief chapters, Lynch describes the experience of 'diving within' and 'catching' ideas like fish-and then preparing them for television or movie screens, and other mediums in which Lynch works, such as photography and painting. Catching the Big Fish provides unprecedented insight into Lynch's methods, as it also offers a set of practical ideas that speak to matters of personal fulfillment, increased creativity, and greater harmony with one's surroundings.

The kids responded by throwing toilet paper in his yard and writing graffitti all over his house. The police chided Larry for not giving them candy because of a "social contract" in which if kids knock on your door on Halloween you're supposed to give them candy. Larry felt he was being discriminated against because one of the kids wrote "bald asshole" on his door. Previous Next "Trick or Treat" Directed by: Larry Charles First aired: October 7, 2001Synopsis: Larry and Cheryl attend the premiere of a movie written by his handicapped friend Cliff Cobb, during which Larry manages to offend a Jewish neighbor, alienate Cliff (as well as the memory of his salad-inventing grandfather), and send out misguided romantic overtures to Cliff's wife Shelly. Later, the Davids experience the "trick" side of Halloween when Larry refuses to give candy to two uncostumed teenagers. Having failed to secure a bracelet for his wife on her birthday, Larry makes amends with the perfect gift on a romantic morning -- until Jeff arrives to pick him up for a round of golf. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'

I had a paper route too -- passed down from my two older brothers. There were not many (if any) girl paper carriers back then (66/67), so I think I got more Christmas bonuses than my brothers when they had the route. Don Kimmet at Kimmet's Appliance Store would give me a dime (during the summer months) for an ice cream cone next door at the Dairy Queen. He was a friend of my parents.

The book, which can currently be pre-ordered at Amazon.com, officially goes on sale December 28th and will be prominently showcased, from January 1 to 29, on sales tables in the front area of every single Borders, Barnes Noble, and Walden book stores in the nation, as well as hundreds of independent book stores. Called the film director of our era, Lynch writes beautifullyin simple, penetrating, profound and captivating wordsabout Transcendental Meditation, creativity, and film in the book. Despite his incredibly busy schedule promoting his new film at the same time, Lynch has also agreed to do major national publicity, including traveling to a few key US cities in January. In addition, Lynch's literary agent is working with top publishers representing more than 50 countries throughout Europe, Asia, and South America for translation and international distribution of the book for a release date in March or April of 2007. Here are excerpts from Amazon.com editorial reviews on Catching the Big Fish: In Catching the Big Fish, Lynch writes candidly about the tremendous creative benefits he has gained from his thirty-two-year commitment to practicing Transcendental Meditation. In brief chapters, Lynch describes the experience of 'diving within' and 'catching' ideas like fish-and then preparing them for television or movie screens, and other mediums in which Lynch works, such as photography and painting. Catching the Big Fish provides unprecedented insight into Lynch's methods, as it also offers a set of practical ideas that speak to matters of personal fulfillment, increased creativity, and greater harmony with one's surroundings. Sounds great, but I wonder why it isn't going on sale *before* Christmas?

He's dissed people before in public for posting stuff he thinks is off-topic, and the only response he ever gets is this reminder from the FFL description: Pretty much any topic is fair game. Since his public topic cop routine accomplishes nothing, it could be that he's trying a new tactic by trying to silence people with ramped up nastiness in private email. Hi Alex, maybe you're right. He didn't get specific enough. I'm on other lists where the members are expected to alert the listowners if they get this kind of thing privately. I didn't do that here to alert Rick, but that's where I got the idea to make it public. The really nice private responses I got are worth it so I have to say I recommend doing it.

Peter's comment here paints a current portrait picture of Maharishi, as a teacher or his teaching or business man? 'Untrustworthy'? Maharishi puts the call out now and some hundreds only show up. The Maharishi Effect? What to do to right things with folks and bring them back? People move on because they want to move on. Some moved on because they were offended, for valid reasons or invalid reasons, but it isn't the TMO's place to try to hold onto people.

I don't mess with deep fried stuff much myself. I am usually only cooking for one or two so it is too much trouble. I make flat breads on a nice thick pizza stone, that makes a huge difference for all breads including pizzas. I recently went to NYC to see how they make pizzas in the last few remaining coal ovens, Grimaldi's in Brooklyn is one. Coal cooks at 800 degrees compared to about 600 for a wood oven. They get a char on the bread and I was chasing that flavor in my own oven. I figured out how to do it in my gas oven. I put the pizza stone on the bottom of the oven and crank it up to broil to pre-heat for almost an hour, Then I cook the thinly rolled pizza for about 5 minutes. After that I put it under the broiler to broil the top for another 3 minutes. I swear it is as good as any pizza in NYC's coal ovens! I spend some time here in DC talking to traditional cooks about how they make their foods. I find that it is the best way to start a conversation with people from other cultures. Lately I am chasing traditional Ethiopian Injera bread made from Tev, millet flour. Ah, now you're talking about my favourite cuisine. I had heard of Ethiopian cuisine for over 20 years and never bothered to try it. Well, I was dragged to one about 5 years ago and it instantly became my favourite. Injera is incredible and although the restaurant I go to offers meat dishes it just isn't necessary with all the wonderful vegetarian dishes available in this cuisine. Making injera: yes, I've tried on two or three occasions to make it myself. I bought a whole bunch of tef on-line and let me tell you: it was incredibly difficult to make...not the mixing and fermenting part (which took about 2 or 3 days) but the actual making of the crepe-like injera. And I thought making dosa was hard...it's a cinch compared to injera. Have you tried it yet? If so, what were your experiences? Also, what ratio did you do the millet to tef...and did you mix the millet in with the tef before the fermenting (I assume you did)? I've become quite friendly with the owner of the Ethiopian who owns the restaurant I frequent. He has an almost religious dedication to tef, which he claims is the most complete grain on the planet (hey, all those gold-winning Ethiopian long-distance runners all grew up on it, so there's gotta be something to it!). All I know is, I can have a stomach ache before eating Ethiopean and, after, it will be gone. Most Ethiopians here don't even bother to make it, they just buy it.
