[FairfieldLife] And pause for reflection
And pause for reflection Well, maybe the events of yesterday on three of the most notoriously idiotic groups on the internet might make those who think, or hope, that any evolutionary advancement in the human collective condition will come sooner rather than later reasons for pause for thought and reflection on that. Far later is much more likely than anywhere in the near future even though evolution rumbles on SLOW. Baring miracles such as pigs flying of course. Hence the practicality of walking alone and not trying to drag a mob along with you. One can find more culture and intelligence quota painted on the walls of prehistoric caves. Give to the mob that which is befitting and due to the mob, and keep for yourself that which is your own. For they will only shit all over it. And silence is golden. rwr

[FairfieldLife] What wins
What wins [ On Psychognosis Archive Re: And pause for reflection Hi rwr and friends - Ahhh, good to reflect at this and any time. Puts things back in perspective and re-grounds a person. I just wanted to note here that from our discussions on evolution of Homo Ensophicus coming to BEING/ BECOMING and Stage 6 of the EHE/ Becoming process, ego wars are not part of it. Name calling does not compute; although the teacher is there, when the student is ready, right. The fact that something resonates with rwr's messages and poems to many many others, does no make him a guru... he does not charge nor does he get royalties from his books ;-)! I also think that evolution can happen in bursts of massive change, so hold on to your hat (ha!)! Much Love, SuZ ### ] You know, it is funny thing SuZ, but asking questions is an art par excellence. Some have it and some don't. Some, yourself included, have asked some very cute, acute, and pertinent on the nail questions. Most don't even know what to ask, hence the silence. When it comes to battle then the ONLY real battle is with oneself and all this stuff. Digesting it, synthesizes it, becoming entwined with it. What wins? Nobody has ever asked that question. Leastwise nobody over these fifty years has ever asks me that question. But what is the battle about and what wins? It is about the battle of the personality (or ego as some like to call it but not me) battling with this mystical stuff in this becoming process. It takes a long long time. What wins? Is it the mystical stuff and fifty years of such experiences, or is it the personality? It is neither. None of them win. It becomes a marriage, an all engulfing inner personalised union and enfoldment of the two I and IT. Just like mixing some dye into a jug of water. Neither wins. Neither comes to dominate. The Personality is NOT destroyed, it evolves and moves on and becomes stronger in that new unified state of being NOT lost. But indeed, yes, no matter whether it is physical evolution, social collective evolution, cultural scientific and artistic evolution, or the personal awareness evolution, there is no constant flow or velocity of change. It is indeed a fits and starts onward movement. Movement and repose, movement and repose, movement and repose. And each repose is the ideal time for reflection and digestion in the dialectical flow of Thesis, Antithesis and Synthesis. And then the new synthesis becomes the new Thesis. And on it goes again. So it is lived and found to be so. You had best prepare for a stage seven to your EHE process paper. Dick Richardson.

[FairfieldLife] A long repose?
A long repose? [ You make mention of a long repose, eighteen years, between two major blasts of new awareness, (a) the Transcendent Mystical Reunion with the SELF in eternity, the ground of being; and (b) Its resolution and fulfilment back here on earth in space and time and uniting with the physical world itself in a consummatum incarnate. Both being two new major shifts of awareness and ways of being in the world as well as out of it. What was this eighteen years of a kind of repose or stagnation like and could it be speeded up do you think? ] Yes. A repose it indeed was but certainly not a stagnation, far from it. I often say twenty years simply for round numbers but it was in fact eighteen years. Keep in mind that throughout all our life here, and not just that eighteen years, we have to get on and live it. We have to work and play and sleep, and raise the kids and feed and educate them, and also making time for our own individual interest and hobbies. None of this is pushed aside or negated, and they are in fact the best part of life and the best things. Mystics do not become hermits or monks in recluse. However, even though it WAS a repose from BIG NEW BLASTS of awareness it was the time of the MOST activity of psychic experiences, plus a few more minor mystical experiences along the way. So it was NOT a stagnation, and far from it. It was among the very best years of my life. But as were the rest of them too. So, although it may seem a repose in that sense of BIG changes of awareness happening there was not only much going on in my own daily life but ALSO that which was going on the soul/subconscious. Indeed, look as to how those initial poems leapt out, even from during sleep. It is all a part of the same process of unfolding and become consciously and subconsciously. Could the time lag between those two major stages be speed up? I can imagine them taking fifty or a hundred years. From hindsight eighteen years seems very fast. You cannot move on until you have properly digested what you have eaten and it is working for you. That is what POTENTIATION is ALL ABOUT. Could it happen in ten years? I don't know. See if you can find somebody who has known that leap in ten years. I sure have not found any. But you might. And taking one day at a time and one year at a time (and one lifetime at a time) is fine by me, I am in no hurry and it is not a race. I also love to take time out just to stand and stare. We are each our own person. Sometimes the day can wait for me, for I am busy with MY things. It is too good to miss. And I am greedy. I did not come here to sleep walk through it. Dick Richardson

I understand. There is s much here to follow with... and now I have to go to work! The blending of the old and the ever new then the RE Newed Thesis. The Stage 6 Process goes into infinity obviously but there can always be new caveats. Thank you! SuZ ### ] Well there you go professor Suzanne V Brown ma'am, that will keep you busy for a few years GET TO IT ! You remind me of professor Abdus Salam much prettier of course. He, poor sod, died not long after we met and chatted at his home in Oxford, but he so wanted to meet up often and go into more of all this stuff. It is not often you find a top physicists and Nobel Prize winner who is also a mystic. But he was not very good on his legs at that time either. Great man, one of the best I have ever known. I aint too good on my legs now with this IPN :- ) As for that THIRD leap then a few have asked me what I think it might be, or what it might do. But I have not got there yet so I don't have a fringing clue and cannot even imagine. Happy to wait and see. But for the last thirty years there HAVE been changes, and still is going on, especially subconsciously. I am not what I was thirty years ago after that stage two blast. That is all done dusted and put to bed and lived with in daily life every day. But what comes next I don't know. For me I think it will be kicking the bucket I have had enough for now and I am weary :- ) Like old black Joe :- ) Need a different kind of a rest now. It has been long, exciting, illuminating, and wondrous, I have loved it all; but one still needs a rest from it :- ) And that does not mean just sitting over the moors and relaxing. It means something different to that. It means going. A long repose of another order. Dick Richardson
[FairfieldLife] Reflections In A Crystal Wind
This is going to be one of turq's cafe nostalgia raps. Be warned. There is no need to proceed unless the Subject line of this post means something to you. Today, for some reason I can't quite put my finger on, possibly the gentle wind in my face on a warm September afternoon, I found myself thinking about Richard Fariña. With some fondness, because he was my first hero. Oh sure, I probably had childhood heroes, like Robin Hood or Zorro, but Fariña was really the first person I could point to as an adult as my personal hero. I think I first heard his name in a famous guitar shop in L.A. I walked in, heard some music I was unfamiliar with on the store's sound system, and gave it a little of my attention. Then I stopped dead in my tracks, because within a few seconds it had captured all of my attention. The song was Another Country, and I was transfixed. I'd never heard anything like it before; it was *unique*. I walked to the counter, where the salesgirl, by now familiar with this syndrome, already had the album out and was ringing it up for me. :-) The album I walked away with changed my life. It was called Celebrations For A Grey Day, and was by Richard and Mimi Fariña. I probably spent months -- no exaggeration -- listening to that album. His words just sung to me, on a level of resonance I'd never found before in the folk world, even in Dylan. Then came their next album, Reflections In A Crystal Wind, and I was so hooked that I went out and bought a dulcimer and learned to play all of his parts. Not as well, but I could play them. Then I noticed that Fariña had a book coming out soon. I SO put myself on the waiting list for that one, and started looking for his next performance in my area so I could see him perform live. I never saw Richard Fariña perform live. He died in a motorcycle accident coming back from the initial launch party for his novel Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up To Me. I didn't learn this until after I had finished reading the novel. Learning it caused me to reread it, and lament the passing of a great voice. It was a masterful novel, clearly somewhat autobiographical (it fictionalized some of his exploits partying down with Tom Pynchon at Cornell), and the writing was as masterful as his songwriting. Richard had a singing voice to his prose writing, one that I've found in other writer/songwriters like Leonard Cohen. Anyway, I credit that novel with setting me on a spiritual path. Go figure. It was about a drug-using, socially-unacceptable hippie (before that term had ever been invented), and it set me on a course to finding that bohemian subculture and immersing myself in it. And that eventually led to me to learning TM, and that led to progressively more interesting things. The odyssey inspired by Gnossos Papadopoulis continues, and continues to be interesting, 45 years later. Thank you, Richard. You done good by sharing your visions, as least as far as I am concerned. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Fari%C3%B1a %20http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Fari%C3%B1a http://www.richardandmimi.com/index.html http://www.richardandmimi.com/index.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYiYNg-pwD8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYiYNg-pwD8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiPvVk1ljUE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiPvVk1ljUE Any other closet Richard and Mimi Fariña fans here?
[FairfieldLife] Do you regret it?
Do you regret it? [ You don't regret having communicated these things do you Richard? ] No, of course not. And I know well enough that over the years it has assisted a few who were in need at the time. We are all going down the same path. Even a few who were very suicidal due to their heightened sensitivity in a world such as this is. So, no, I do not regret it at all. However, I do wish that I had done it differently. I feel that I should perhaps have restricted communication to only those who communicated with me first from having read the books, and which much of it is anyway, instead of going live into the pubic doing live chat groups and thus going in COLD. I would not do that bit again. For it is a total waste of time and effort. And having said that there is the conundrum that I did meet a few there who were in need of some hints on this stuff and it came in useful for a few of them. So it isn't an easy call is it :- ) But weighing it all up, and from hindsight, and being a pragmatist, then no, I would not have done the chat groups. But, anyway, it is done now and one cannot undo it, so you move on. But after today I will only post to and communicate on the Psychognosis Archive group and on private emails. Enough is enough. BUT, if anybody does communicate in private after today then it may well be used on the group archive unless they specifically ask for it not to be, or for their name not to be used. Dick Richardson

Fix the other two so we can see them too, please! I'm not ready to quite my day job for an interviewing career but thanks for the compliments, Judy. Editing is the fun part of making videos. I'm starting to get the hang of it. I deleted the earlier post that Denise snagged somehow, then I tinkered with the video before putting it up again. I decided to use YouTube for public viewing and Picasa for family videos. I have Janis Joplin's Bobbie McGee in my i-tunes file. I used it for the Rainy Day video. YouTube put up a notice that Germany will not play it because of copyright laws. I didn't know there could be a copyright infringement if I purchased a song from i-tunes. All you purchased from iTunes was the right to play the tune for yourself and not for use in your videos. That requires another license entirely. Just about any popular tune will require a clearance and they'll usually a fee paid. But there are sites that have free music you can use with a Creative Commons license. If you are musician you could create a tune that hints at Bobbie McGee but doesn't infringe. I hint at the Beatles Cry Baby Cry in my Republican Cry Babies video but there is not enough there for them to claim infringement. In Germany the young folks have started the Pirate Party as a new political group and they want to revamp copyright laws. Those laws have become absurd. Disney was the prime villain in the mess using the excuse that Mickey Mouse was falling out of copyright so they wanted it extended. However research showed that the original Steamboat Willie was improperly copyrighted so Mickey has NEVER been protected by copyright law. However Disney does hold a trademark on Mickey which is sufficient for their interests. I think that what they were really going after was keeping the their 1930s era cartoon productions out of the public domain so they could keep selling them to the public. Little kids don't know much difference between a 1930s cartoon (often better drawn) and a modern day one. However Disney's actions are criminal as they have hampered innovation in society and stifled a lot of free speech. Some copyright change advocates suggest a 3 year lifetime should be enough. I would argue 15 years. If you can't make money off of it by then it wasn't worth anything anyway. There is nothing new under the sun and chances are if you dig deep into the archives of traditional folk tunes you'll find about every melody existed before. It's been said that Burt Bacharach has an extensive library of folks songs and would select a folk song close to what he wanted to write and base it on that. That way if some nut job thought he stole his tune Burt could show that it was based on a 200 year old folk song. One could probably build computer searchable MIDI libraries of folk tunes and start a business to destroy song copyright lawsuits. Most composers have no idea if they tune they've written has ever been written before. Thanks, Bhairitu. I had a post up about the Pirate Party. I thought they were about information sharing. Oh, well...the best laid plans. I wasn't familiar with the term Creative Commons. I Googled it and found out that YouTube recently developed Creative Commons licenses for its new YouTube Video Editor.

First, it's on a fairly major plaza, with lots of eye candy walking by for those of us who, like Chauncey Gardner, like to watch. Second, and more important, it's situated such that the sun is behind the building, so I can use my laptop while seated outside. Third, its owners are so gracious as to have entered into a partnership with KPN (one of the big phone providers here) to provide free WiFi to its patrons. Cute waitresses, too. What is not to like in a setup like this? While many of you in the US were experiencing heat waves, we in Holland were enduring the rainiest winter in 100 years. I think I can count 3 or 4 days all summer on which it didn't rain. This was not exactly the best news for those of us addicted to cafe society. But now we're being rewarded for our patience by a wonderful Indian summer. It's 24 degrees C. (75 F.), on a Friday afternoon, and the Dutch (a cafe-loving people) are already starting to fill up the tables for a fine night of good conversation and people-watching. At this hour in Barcelona (having recently been there), the cafes would have been this full, but the pheromone count would have been higher. Most of the patrons would have been there lookin' to get laid. In other words, they would have come to the cafe with an agenda or plan or goal in mind, and not really have been able to be in the Now until that goal was achieved. In Den Haag, it's kinda obvious that for the majority of cafe patrons I see around me that coming to this cafe *was* the goal. They're remarkably content with just sitting here, soaking up (in the areas of the cafe not shaded by the building) what's left of the day's sun, and simultaneously soaking up the Now. I really don't get the impression that anyone I see around me's life revolves around who they hook up with later, or whether they even do. This may be one of the reasons I'm more comfortable here in the Netherlands these days than in Spain. At my age, I rarely find myself driven by my gonads, or by the desire to hook up. If it happens, I'm not averse to that, but I neither seek nor desire it. Interestingly enough, however, this 'tude seems to be working like a charm on the attractive woman at the next table. I may have to stop typing now and see what develops. It's Havana, after all...and everyone knows that odd things happen in Havana. Maybe a good conversation. Maybe more. Who knows? That's sort of the whole point of cafe society.

Arrestees were handcuffed so tight their hands turned blue. Many of these people have yet to regain feeling in their extremities. A senior police officer infamously forced women into pens and maced them at point-blank range. While we vehemently condemn these abuses of power, we urge all who read this to remain focused on our intended message. Abuse of power is abuse of power. Whether perpetrated by Wall Street bankers or members of the NYPD, it is the duty of all citizens to oppose injustice. We condemn the actions of unprofessional police who used excessive force in subduing a peaceful march. But we are foremost here to oppose the growing power of the ruling class. Let us also be clear that, when approached as individuals, members of the NYPD have expressed solidarity with our cause. It has been inspiring to receive this support. Over these thirteen days, we have learned that no one supports corporations' disproportionate influence in the political sphere. We have learned that no one is in favor of evicting struggling families to the street while banks continue to profit. No one, that is, except the corporations and banks. We urge members of the NYPD to remain in solidarity with our cause. These men and women could lose their pensions and benefits during the next round of budget cuts. We ask that members of the NYPD treat all peaceful human beings with respect and care. This will be a great step towards reclaiming power for the working class. Those who profit off the suffering of others will held accountable. We are the 99%, and we are too big to fail. Tonight we march to One Police Plaza. 66 Comments https://occupywallst.org/article/greetings-occupied-wall-street/#commen\ ts Day 12 https://occupywallst.org/article/day-12/ Posted Sept. 29, 2011, 10:26 p.m. EST by OccupyWallSt https://occupywallst.org/users/OccupyWallSt/ [Liberty Square Layout] https://occupywallst.org/media/img/LibertyPlaza500.jpg

I suspect eventually we'll see TM marketed as Maharishi Transcendental Meditation or something similar.

I just think that John is wrong or has misunderstood the copyrights on TMO material (which is okay). I don't think the TMO lawyers are that dumb. There are lots of books including Woodroffe's that were published in the west and predate the existence of the movement. However opportunists might try to pull such as lowly scheme. As you know one pharmaceutical company patented the chemical structure of Neem which aroused anger in India so they put together an organization and patented all Indian herbs for free use. Likewise if the TMO did try to copyright the beej mantras then alerting India to it would bring the wrath of the Indian spiritual community on them. It's my understanding that the Transcendental Meditation trademark was lost in at least one country. I have no idea whether or not that would apply to other countries as well. I suspect eventually we'll see TM marketed as Maharishi Transcendental Meditation or something similar.

Where did you get this information about the copyrights, if I may ask? Judy, as mentioned to Russel on this thread, you can read the transcript of the lawsuit on Trancenet filed by an ex-TMer. In the lawsuit, you will find the arguments made by the TMO of its unique method of meditation and therefore has exclusive rights to the method which includes a specific set of mantras and the TM-Sidhi program. This issue of mantra usage was one of the reasons why Deepak Chopra was very careful in finding other phrases and mantras to describe his own brand of meditation. Specifically, I was talking to David Frawley many years ago about the TMO. He stated that Chopra requested him to provide mantras that were different from the TMO's. Frawley stated that he advised Chopra to use mantras based on the Moon nakshatra at the time of a person's birth.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Maharishi's 'true' successor?
Exclusive rights does not mean copyright. In fact they would have to patent the method but that and copyright would open the secret technique to public perusal. And it would not be necessary to protect the method. Besides, if one has been properly instructed by a guru then you don't need to follow the TM method when teaching. What they're going after are people who have split off from the movement and still teach the method rather than learning something else to teach.

Asked about the ongoing mass protest in New York's financial district, which has begun to gain support from major unions, Trumka said Friday morning: I think it's a tactic and a valid tactic to call attention to a problem. Wall Street is out of control. We have three imbalances in this country -- the imbalance between imports and exports, the imbalance between employer power and working power, and the imbalance between the real economy and the financial economy. We need to bring back balance to the financial economy, and calling attention to it and peacefully protesting is a very legitimate way of doing it. Hailing the power of street protests to shift the dialogue, Trumka said, I think being in the streets and calling attention to issues is sometimes the only recourse you have because, God only knows, you can go to the Hill, and you can talk to a lot of people and see nothing ever happen... Organized largely by young people and initially neglected by much of the media and major political players, the Occupy Wall Street protest has begun to attract global attention, as prominent figures such as filmmaker Michael Moore and Dr. Cornel West have joined the hundreds of demonstrators who have maintained a steady presence since thousands of anti-corporate activists massed on September 17. Trumka's remarks came as key union locals began to endorse the Occupy Wall Street protests, which have gained increasing attention over the past two weeks. Transport Workers Union Local 100, http://www.twulocal100.org/story/why-twu-local-100-supporting-occupy-wa\ ll-street which represents 38,000 New York City transit workers (and 26,000 retirees), endorsed the protests Wednesday, with a statement that read: The Transport Workers Union Local 100 applauds the courage of the young people on Wall Street who are dramatically demonstrating for what our position has been for some time: the shared sacrifice preached by government officials looks awfully like a one-way street. Workers and ordinary citizens are putting up all the sacrifice, and the financiers who imploded our economy are getting away scot-free, increasing their holdings and bonuses. Young people face a bleak future with high unemployment, and minimum wage jobs. Public sector workers face Mayors and Governors who demand massive wage and benefits givebacks or face thousands of layoffs. That's not bargaining. That's blackmail. One out of six Americans lives in poverty today, and the richest one percent control more wealth than at any time since the Gilded Age of the 1920's. Local 100 spokesman Jim Gannon said: These young folks are out there and they're singing our tune, and they're saying what we've been saying for quite some time that the so-called shared sacrifice is a one way street. Young people face high unemployment, it's very difficult to get jobs and in many ways they're in the same boat as public sector workers are. So we all get together and who knows, this might become a movement. Gannon linked the Wall Street protests of recent weeks with the protests earlier this year in Madison, Wisconsin http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/222893/20110930/occupy-wall-street-occu\ py-wall-street-unions-unions-wall-street-protest-occupy-wall-street-oct-\ 5.htm , where Republican Governor Scott Walker attacked collective-bargaining rights for public employees. In Madison they were fighting for themselves but they weren't only fighting for themselves. It hit a chord with a lot of people across the country, not just union workers, explained Gannon. And I think [Occupy Wall Street] is starting to hit a real chord, especially with blue collar workers. Trumka, who marched in Madison in February, sounded a similar theme Friday. Our international unions are involved, our locals are involved, and you'll see a lot of working people Trumka said of protests against Wall Street abuses. You'll

Stalin and Mao were more successful. They murdered millions. Too bad for the losers. You gotta rid the world of losers. Communism failed and then died. Maharishi failed and then died. No heaven on Earth prevailed at any time anywhere except in the mythic imaginations of over-indulged suburban kids of the 1960's+ Why would a bunch of middle-class blotted-lackey protesters do anything when only in 'smerica would they be safe enough to holler their worn out slogans?

STORY HIGHLIGHTS * The protest is driven by social media * Dozens have been arrested * Some protesters are accusing police of using excessive force * Police are investigating those claims (CNN) -- Protests to draw attention to the power of Wall Street firms in the United States and world economies will continue for a 14th straight day Friday in New York City. Demonstrations are addressing various issues including police brutality, union busting and the economy, said Occupy Wall Street protest group. The group, taking its inspiration from the Arab Spring protests that swept through Africa and the Middle East, has taken up residence in a park in New York's Financial District, calling for 20,000 people to flood the area for a few months. Social media fueled those uprisings in places like Egypt and Libya and organizers are hoping it will work in the United States too. Organizers say they had as many as 600 demonstrators in the area over the weekend, but the crowds have dwindled to about 200 people in recent days. About 100 people have been arrested during the protests, police said. People were apprehended for disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration and assaulting a police officer, said New York City Deputy Commissioner Paul J. Browne. Most of the arrests came Saturday. There were no arrests Sunday and Monday, organizers said. Demonstrators have accused police of using excessive force after the release of a video from Saturday that shows an officer pepper-spraying several women. Police have said they are investigating the incidents. The protest campaign -- which uses the hashtag #occupywallstreet on the microblogging site Twitter -- began in July with the launch of a simple campaign website calling for a march and a sit-in at the New York Stock Exchange. Though the agenda of the protest has been posted on the website of the group Occupy Wall Street, protesters say there is no group leader and have spent several days

The idea, according to some organizers, was to camp out for weeks or even months to replicate the kind, if not the scale, of protests that had erupted earlier in 2011 in places as varied as Egypt, Spain and Israel. On the group's Web site, they describe themselves as a leaderless resistance movement with people of many colors, genders and political persuasions. The one thing we all have in common is that we are the 99 percent that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1 percent. The 1 percent refers to the haves: that is, the banks, the mortgage industry, the insurance industry. The 99 percent refers to the have-nots: that is, everyone else. In other words, said a group member: 1 percent of the people have 99 percent of the money. The police made scores of arrests on Sept. 24, as hundreds of demonstrators, many of whom had been bivouacked in the financial district as part of the lengthy protest, marched north to Union Square without a permit. As darkness fell, large numbers of officers were deployed on streets near the encampment in Zuccotti Park, where hundreds more people had gathered. Efforts to maintain crowd control suddenly escalated: protesters were corralled by police officers who put up orange mesh netting; the police forcibly arrested some participants; and a deputy inspector used pepper spray on four women who were on the sidewalk, behind the orange netting. Raymond W. Kelly, commissioner of the New York Police Department, said that its Internal Affairs Bureau would look at the decision by the officer, Deputy Inspector Anthony Bologna, to use pepper spray, even as Mr. Kelly criticized the protesters for tumultuous conduct. The office of the Manhattan district attorney, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., also opened an investigation into the episode, which was captured on video and disseminated on the Internet The police's actions suggested the flip side of a force trained to fight terrorism, but that may appear less nimble in dealing with the likes of the Wall Street protesters. The group plans to continue the protest indefinitely.

But the occupation hasn't gone away and that's because, even as it has become more organized, the protest hasn't adopted a specific platform. Media coverage even on the left has been minimal, and what coverage has existed has been largely derisive http://www.salon.com/news/opinion/glenn_greenwald/2011/09/28/protests/i\ ndex.html . Cable's liberal stalwart Rachel Maddow didn't have a segment on the protest until last night http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/#44725387 , Mother Jones ran an article entitled why #occupywallstreet isn't working, http://motherjones.com/mojo/2011/09/occupy-wall-street and Grist's Dave Roberts said https://twitter.com/#!/drgrist/status/118072522632736768 the occupation was designed to discredit leftie protest. And, yet, the occupation is spreading. There are now occupations and solidarity demonstrations in dozens of cities around the country, including Los Angeles, Chicago and Boston.

Well, seek, what kind of solutions do you have? Or do you just favor the status quo (also known as the same ol' same ol' )?

[FairfieldLife] Re: Maharishi's 'true' successor?
Looks like Curtis wonderfully summarized the absurdity of all the mantra madness. I have similar feelings about what would happen if the occasional movement claims that the mantra list was vetted as being meaningless by the Berlitz language people were challenged. Berlitz, for me, would be the last people to ask about the esoteric internals of the religious traditions of India, but this is, of course, a marketing operation we're talking about. But to clarify, as I understand it, the mantra list, as well as all the TM movement's supposedly secret or private material at minet.org and elsewhere, is all public domain worldwide and was not copyrighted anywhere. That may not apply to the efforts of other groups to copyright those mantras or similar things elsewhere. Such attempts involving very similar lists or instructions would be unlikely to stick if challenged, if only because of the long history of them being in the public domain in one place or another, or otherwise being ineligible for copyright protection. It's also true that Transcendental Meditation was trademarked only in certain countries, including the U.S. In the UK, if memory serves, it was ruled to be a generic term and thus not eligible for trademark protection, perhaps the incentive for the subtle renaming of TM program elements using the Maharishi prefix which might be trademarkable in such places. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, curtisdeltablues curtisdeltablues@... wrote: Judge in case of use of copyrighted mantras.
