[FairfieldLife] Re: Dome Meditation Numbers
Elias Hicks, A call to Group Meditation: Peace, be still. This command and requisition was made upon a former, occasion; and I apprehend it will apply fully to us. I believe there can be no occasion to demand it more than the present one. The comfort and improvement of this large assembly depends principally upon it. Therefore, it becomes our duty individually, to labour to be still. And, in the first place, we are to still our bodies. This is a work that seems in a degree to be comprehended in our power as men and creatures; hence this is the first step. For we must always do what we can, rightly and justly; for it is by this right labour, and industry, that there is something to receive the divine blessing upon. But this is not enough, my friends,--we must endeavour to have our minds still. And here is a much greater work, which it is beyond the power of man to effect of himself. And this shows us the necessity of individually endeavouring to get our bodies still, that so we may retire to that fountain of strength, which only can enable us to experience our minds to be brought into stillness--into silent prostration before the King of heaven. And we are not to stop here neither, my friends. There is that little member, that no man, the apostle says, has tamed; although men may have tamed all the brute creation--and that is the tongue. It is a little member; but, as he says, it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. It is like a fire, and it is set on fire of hell. Now there is nothing that can enable us to keep this quiet and silent, but as we bow in perfect submission to the divine will, to time manifestation of the grace of God in our own souls; and without this, we cannot use it in a proper manner. Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. And we know, that it does happen among the children of men, that they usurp, as it were, the throne of God, and impeach their fellow Creatures and give sentence upon them; and, as far as the tongue can do it, send them down to the bottomless pit of perdition. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. And it is an evidence to us what state we must come to experience, before we can effect the great purpose for which we are assembled together this morning; which is no less, I apprehend, as to time general motive, than to present ourselves before time Almighty Creator of the universe, the giver of every good and perfect gift, and to wait on him, and worship him in spirit and in truth. But none can worship him, till all these unruly passions, all these disturbances and troubles, that naturally attend men and women in their natural state, are all brought down into entire subjection to the divine will, and until there is a complete sense of his greatness, and of our nothingness. Here it is, that we are brought into a condition to learn of him. For what will it avail any of us, to come and sit down thus together, to be led, and guided, and instructed in the way of salvation, if we do not gather into a state, whereby and wherein we calm be instructed--into a situation in which we can hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches? And it is my earnest desire, that we may individually labour after this stillness; for this is the travail that ought always to attend our minds when thus assembled together. This leads to an experience and evidence in ourselves, of the mighty power of God, and of our own complete insufficiency to do any good thing. For we must come to this evidence before we can serve him aright; and before we can walk in the way which he has cast up for the ransomed and redeemed to walk in--a blessed way. We must come into this condition, in order to learn our duty, not only to God our creator, but to man our fellow creature. This will open to us all that we are to do, and instruct us in the way in which we can answer the great end of our creation, and we shall always be ready to glorify God and enjoy him. -Elias Hicks, 1827 I have heard some things which suggest that the plan is to focus more resources on getting the numbers nearer to 2500 over the next year and that is what the message of financial restraint to MUM was about, more money may go towards subsidies for new IA participants or additional Pundits ie why subsidise foreign students who then dont choose to contribute to coherence makes more sense to recruit the truly motivated http://invincibleamerica.org/tallies.html May be so.

Thank you Click on Thumbnail to enlarge It seems like the Wilton Windmill circle could be decoded by using the windmill itself as a key. We got 4 crossings of the windmill... so the 12 sections of the crop circle become 3 main groups. Each ASCII row of the 3 groups become a byte. Possibly leading to a deeper level to decode. The crop circle is spinning clockwise - so that might be the direction to read the code from section to section. As the crop circle might be connected to the windmill as a key to decode it, the angle of the entry section is probably the same angle of the stairs of the windmill (props to pjw). It also seems to have a DNA connection as there are 4 elements used in each section (no line, left line, right line and left + right line) just like the 4 basic elements of the DNA: Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, Cytosine.

[FairfieldLife] Guru Dev - Happiness does not depend on being born in any caste
Birth then is dependent on karma, but Bhagwan's kindness is not dependent on karma, that is dependent on bhava (emotion, feeling). Anybody who desires, be he brahmana, be he kshatriya, be he vaishya, be he shudra - [whoever] has a feeling for Bhagwan can gain Bhagwan. They can glorify Bhagwan, so really Bhagwan's glorifying cannot only be done by brahmanas. Four castes of people can do bhakta (service) then. But an acharya (preceptor) cannot be people of the four castes. For this purpose then is the drum (proclamation) of Adi Shankaracharya:-- यावतà¥à¤ªà¤µà¤¨à¥ निवसति दà¥à¤¹à¥ तावतà¥à¤ªà¥à¤à¥à¤à¤¤à¤¿ à¤à¥à¤¶à¤²à¤ à¤à¥à¤¹à¥ ठyaavatpavano nivasati dehe taavatpR^ichchhati kushalaM gehe I [bhaja govindam v6] `When one is alive, his family members enquire kindly about his welfare. Later, when the body is old and decrepit, nobody in the house asks for word of him' Therefore; à¤à¤ à¤à¥à¤µà¤¿à¤¨à¥à¤¦à¤ à¤à¤ à¤à¥à¤µà¤¿à¤¨à¥à¤¦à¤à¥¤ à¤à¤ à¤à¥à¤µà¤¿à¤¨à¥à¤¦à¤ मà¥à¥à¤®à¤¤à¥ ठbhaja govindaM , bhaja govindaM . bhaja govindaM muu.Dhamate I [bhaja govindam v1] `Worship Govinda, worship Govinda, worship Govinda O, foolish mind!' Actually, before senility, anybody of any caste should be mindful to do sufficient bhajan and puja of Bhagwan, for in this is happiness. Happiness will not be being born in any caste. Happiness will then be from bhajan of Bhagwan and to do bhajan to Bhagwan is just man's right. There is no talk that one must be a brahmana in order to get mukta (liberation). If bhakti (service) of Bhagwan is done then [all] is well, [but if] not then brahmanas also come to the ruler of hell, and the devout shudra can gain Bhagwan. Wherever happiness is to be, there nobody is brahmana, is not kshatriya, is not vaishya, is not shudra. In Paramatma there is no difference in anyone, the difference then is in everyday affairs. [Shri Shankaracharya UpadeshAmrita kaNa 97 of 108] ... Another way of misapplication of the body and mind is that people stay attached in supporting caste and the height of the lineage. You have gotten the body of a human being; any caste you have become born in - brahmana, kshatriya, vaishya, shudra - whatever caste you have become born in then all have the right to remember Bhagwan and all have the right to reach near to Bhagwan. In between, difference of class stays, this difference, any such matter is not a thing for much consideration. Wherever you have been born, then you have been. Now then you should make such effort that you are not born again; not so that whatever caste you are born in, your life is lost in support of it. This then is a dharmashala (halting house for pilgrims). Having come here you should perform the principal work, not work in justifying the dharmashala. In the life of a human being that mind is a thing to be applied in Bhagwan, from that [understand] it is improper to do improper conduct and/or sinful living.

[FairfieldLife] The Lost finale 30-second button workout
According to one report there were about 45 minutes of commercials during last night's two and a half hour Lost finale. I know the 30-second skip button on the remote got quite a workout as I skipped over commercials on the DVR. I tried to start watching at about 9:45 so the show would still end by 11:30. However even then I noticed that the progress bar was beginning to catch up with last recorded position. For those of you who haven't watched yet then I suggest you wait to read the rest of my post. For those who have I'll continue below. . . . . . . . I sum up the ending as they all died happily ever after. So what's up with these series (as BSG also did) winding up on a religious note? Shall we expect that Jack Bauer will suddenly get religion at the end of tonight's 24 finale? Or is this a conspiracy by the NWO as they attempt to manufacture the apocalypse in time for 2012? I agree with one review is the show could have wound up a little early with Jack saving the island by putting the plug back in. The rest was just a soppy reunion.
[FairfieldLife] Laying cornerstones and then nothing happens...
The mechanics of Invincibilitynot! http://www.exberliner.com/articles/david-wants-to-fly-an-interview- with-david-sieveking (...) The TM organisation threatened to sue you. What happened? I received legal threats from the David Lynch Foundation’s attorney. He said David Lynch was not very amused and didn’t want to be part of the film. If I integrated him, they would take legal steps. This became more severe when it became clear that it was going to premiere at the Berlinale. He even tried to stop the premiere – he is very well connected – but the Berlinale was courageous enough not to take it out of the programme. People from the movement wrote letters with legal threats to the production company. But until now, no steps have actually been taken. On a personal level, I get emails and calls from people who say I’m a traitor and tell me I will be reborn as a cockroach. What do you think of the movement’s plans to build a ‘university’ on the Teufelsberg? It’s a completely unrealistic PR campaign that is very typical of TM. I investigated this very thoroughly. There’s a huge mortgage on the area – more than €30 million that is actually owed by the owner to the bank. You wouldn’t want the area because of the debt. There is also this ruin of the monitoring station from the Cold War, which would cost around €2 million to tear down. But the biggest problem is actually that the area is officially protected forest. You don’t have a right to build a university there. It will never happen. And so far, the TM movement hasn’t paid the money. So there’s a legal battle between the owner and TM. They’re suing the organisation for not paying… But that’s pretty typical for the TM movement: there’s always the notion that the idea is most important. When it will actually be materialised doesn’t actually matter – whether it’s tomorrow or in a thousand years. They constantly lay cornerstones and perform the ceremony, but nothing happens. They’ve done this in 15 countries – 15 “invincibility universities”, but where are they? TM is not very popular in Berlin, especially after what happened at the Teufelsberg’s inaugural ceremony: Lynch’s German associate, Emmanuel Schiffgens, made a speech about an ‘invincible Germany’ that didn’t really impress anyone… If David Lynch talks about invincibility – he’s an artist. And he’s known for being quite weird – you don’t associate this with something military. When Maharishi says, “I want to make every nation invincible” – he’s a guru from India. It’s like a metaphor. But if a German guy says he wants to make this country invincible, you can’t help thinking of the Nazis. His speech was completely insensitive to German history and the audience. And then, to make things worse, when some guy shouted, “Adolf Hitler wanted the same!”, his answer was: “Yes, but unfortunately he didn’t succeed because he didn’t have the right technique.” It’s just scary that a guy who’s been in the movement for 30 years – he was trained by Maharishi personally, and is considered to be the most enlightened person in Germany – is completely crazy.

I have heard some things which suggest that the plan is to focus more resources on getting the numbers nearer to 2500 over the next year and that is what the message of financial restraint to MUM was about, more money may go towards subsidies for new IA participants or additional Pundits ie why subsidise foreign students who then dont choose to contribute to coherence makes more sense to recruit the truly motivated http://invincibleamerica.org/tallies.html Currently, almost 2,000 Assembly participants practice the TM and advanced TM-Sidhi program together every day in Fairfield, Iowa, creating a powerful influence of coherence throughout the nation. As this number rises to 2,500enough, according to research, to produce a phase transition to a permanently peaceful, prosperous, and harmonious societywe expect to see a measurable shift in national trends that will quickly resolve any remaining imbalances in the country and permanently establish the nation on a high level of invincibility. May be so. Would be nice to see the actual financial numbers. MUM is ongoing though. The administrative policy is to starve MUM to feed the domes? They have had ongoing troubles getting the meditation attendance numbers they would like to have. More than half the total daily tally numbers shown includes the pundit boys. That leaves some few hundreds of meditators otherwise. Students, faculty, staff, MUM MSAE, town ru's, paid IA people. Particularly in their relationship with town ru's or the larger old meditating TM movement, their administrative problem might not even be with resource. Bevan by MUM http://invincibleamerica.org/ John Hagelin by the Institute http://istpp.org/news/2009_05_ia_assembly.html Well-meaning meditators: http://goldendome.org/ Tug of war? If they want the total numbers to stay around 2500 in the domes, Bevan in character as doctrinal fanatic is going to have to yield on the don't ask, don't tell policy about meditators having visited spiritual healers and other saints as healers. It obviously is significanly corrosive to the total numbers. Does not work at all to their advantage to keep long-term meditators out of the dome programs over that guideline. At best it has only been antagonizing. Particularly if there comes a change in the generous funding needed every month for keeping the pundits and the paid meditators in the domes now. Does the MUM board of trustees have enough independence to remove Bevan as MUM president now? Send him Ameritus? It would probably take that to get the numbers of meditators again that they really need. MUM administrates the Domes, Bevan sits on the dome guidelines as they are as imperative to the 'teaching' which confuses the guidelines as the teaching. They've gots a problem.

I finally just slipped them a copy of Gordon Delamont's Modern Melodic Techniques to them and wait a few days or a week and then hear much improvements to their works. :-D That said, I suspect Lynch built up walls around himself for the same reason after having heard accolades from colleagues about other gurus. I suspect with Lynch his inner, subjective world is just the type of weird inner world that creates quirky, catchy, out-of-the-ordinary films which people like precisely because of that quirkiness. At the same time, his inner life is so odd, it disconnects him from others. TM was something he found that would let him connect to others and still share a part of his inner life.

[FairfieldLife] Gray's review of Patel's Value of Nothing
Patel claims to be Buddhist oriented, and his solution from what Gray says, is based on curbing desires. [my take...short of actually reading the book;nope, that won't work either. Patel seems to know as much about economics as the Pope or MMY]. http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2009/dec/13/value-nothing-raj-patel

Some people may need more alkalinity and some may actually need more acidity to maintain a balanced pH. Thing is, the alkalinity of ionized/alkaline water is so weakly buffered that it is immediately neutralized the second it hits the stomach. Sure, it can peg a pH meter at 9 or 10, but it doesn't have the staying power to affect any change in the body. It would be far more effective to put some baking soda in a liter of water and drink that. The alkaline water they sell at the grocery nearby has potassium in it. Companies sell potassium drops you can put in regular water. If you're running a little acidic it can increase your pep but even taking a potassium supplement can do that. Alternative practitioners are more making the diet more alkaline producing. BTW, with some people that can be a focus on vegetables particularly green leafys and then there are some people that meat actually makes them more alkaline. It's like there are two species of humans on the planet.

Re: [FairfieldLife] LowVibe allopathy vs Maharishi's ayurveda
I've never had an ayurvedic practitioner discourage allopathic methods when they were necessary. Maybe that's because the one I had here in the Bay Area was an MD and liked to draw the line between what things ayurveda was useful for and when allopathic methods would be more useful. If you break your leg you want to go see an allopathic physician (unless your ayurvedic practitioner is an MD who can treat such injuries). Even Dr. Lad's books have recommedations as to when to see a doctor. Ayurveda is useful for prevention and and host of ailments that allopathic is not often that good at treating. It is particularly good for rebalancing the system which of course aids in preventing disease and might be useful too along with some allopathic treatments. That said, I my MD practitioner, though he took the MAPI course for doctors also took Dr. Lad's course so he wasn't purely practicing Maharishi Ayurveda. Jason wrote: Barry, has anyone ever filed a lawsuit on TM-org regarding forcible ayurvedic treatment and discouragement of allopathic treatment. ManSlaughter, Criminal negligence etc etc. Maharishi himself would have died if Chopra's father didn't stablise him and put him on a plane to London.?? --- On Mon, 1/4/10, TurquoiseB no_re...@yahoogroups.com wrote: Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Police report gives first details of Arizona sweat lodge deaths Date: Monday, January 4, 2010, 4:12 AM I feel certain that the peer-review research provides ongoing comfort to Eli Butler, to the numerous people who committed suicide on TM residence courses or TTCs, and to the larger number of people who died rather than seek the dreaded and low-vibe Western medical care for the ailments that afflicted them. Please remember the TM buzzphrase and meme that preceded any of the research, and that the research was consciously or subconsciously intended to prove -- TM is completely, 100% life-supporting That *had* to be reflected in the results of any scientific study done on TM, because Maharishi had said it, and therefore it *had* to have been true. Thing is, it's not. The only difference between James Arthur Ray and Maharishi is that Ray's PR machine was not as able to keep such dogma- and faith-caused deaths out of the papers as well as Maharishi's has.

I suspect most right brained folks would appear crazy to the left brained analytical types. Left brained analytical types appear rigid and almost psychopathic to the right brained folks. My question the other day was a loaded one. Willy didn't know how to answer my retort when he asked why my hand wasn't up and I asked for the same reason yours isn't up? According to a friend to is a psych prof you may not want to be considered sane because in many academic circles sane means the norm. I don't know about you but I sure don't want to be the norm. Back in the 1970s Maslow's Self-actualized man was considered the definition of sane but that meant that the majority of the public was insane (probably true too). I sure recall news articles back then claiming the majority of the public was not sane. That's probably why they made the norm the new definition. Now I should ask how many here have had psychotic breaks or what used to be called nervous breakdowns and there is even a newer more PC term for it too which I don't recall. Those that have had them may look at those who believe they are sane as fools because unless you've had the experience you may not know what sanity really is.
