turquoiseb: Speaking as a fan, and as someone who has watched the series get better and better, culminating in what will be taught in university classes of the future as The Perfect Season Of Television last year, I didn't know what to expect with the new season. For someone who dosen't watch much TV, you sure are watching a lot of TV! LoL! I know I'm a little behind the curve here, because all of the other fans of the series got to see this new episode on Sunday, but I've been moving, and didn't get my copy until today. So how could they possibly follow up The Perfect Season Of Television? Easy. Start with the first episode of what looks like it will be The Even More Perfect Season Of Television. Stay away from most popular entertainment. Most of what passes for legitimate entertainment is inferior or foolish and only caters to or exploits people's weaknesses. Avoid being one of the mob who indulges in such pastimes. Your life too short and you have important things to do. Be discriminating about what images and ideas you permit into your mind. If you yourself don't choose what thoughts and images you expose yourself to, someone else will, and their motives may not be the highest. It is the easiest thing in the world to slide imperceptibly into vulgarity. But there's no need for that to happen if you determine not to waste your time and attention on mindless pap. - Epictetus

Thank goodness for scientists who are coming up with the ideas to counteract, hopefully, the changes... Alex Stanley: Well, I'm doing my part by having the MacBook play the rain raga 24 hours a day. If you love watching movies and listening to music at home, and you have lots of DVDs and CDs, you may want to build a digital system that can deliver your movies and music without having to physically insert the disk in a player in a particular room. If you're like me, you've got the records in a carton in the garage, the DVDs in shoe boxes, and the CDs on the coffee table. Sure, you can simply turn on a laptop and play a music file. But, what I need is a device to deliver all my files, the videos, photos, and the music to any room in my house at any time; a place to store the large digital video and music files such as my book; and a fast way to access all the files, streaming via wireless connectivity. If you like this idea, you'll want a fast broadband connection with a wireless dual-band N router. And, a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device connected to the wireless router. That way, videos, movies, TV recordings and music can be accessed even when your PC is off and you are away from your desk. All you have to do is select your media with a media player like a Roku box and sit back and relax and enjoy. With a NAS you get a great Admin Console GUI to work with that is intuitive and looks wonderful. Nothing is cryptic, and everything you want is right there in front of you.

Around here we have cities going bankrupt. If you call the cops they may not show up for a while.

You can get a hand gun with a laser on it so you don't have to keep going to the range to keep your skills up. Just make sure the dot is on the perpetrator and pull the trigger. In some cases just seeing the red dot might make them flee which might mean that you could just point a cheap laser pointer on them and they'd split.

[FairfieldLife] Flu vaccine to be given to all UK children
What is the vedic position vis-a-vis vaccines? = Flu vaccine to be given to all UK children Nasal vaccination of children aged two to 17 may save up to 2,000 lives a year, say experts, and will cost £100m a year guardian.co.uk, Wednesday 25 July 2012 05.45 EDT All children are to be given the flu vaccination after experts said it could save up to 2,000 lives a year. The scheme, which is expected to be rolled out in 2014, will see all children aged two to 17 given the vaccination through a nasal spray. Younger children will be given the spray by their GP and schoolchildren will receive it at school. The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, which advises the government on vaccination policy, said the flu programme should be extended to children because it could reduce the rate of infection by 40%. The health secretary, Andrew Lansley, has accepted the recommendation, a Department of Health spokesman said. At present, over-65s, pregnant women and people with a serious medical condition, including children, are eligible for a seasonal flu jab. The UK will become the first country to offer the flu vaccine to healthy children free of charge, with the measure expected to cost £100m a year. Healthy children are among those least likely to develop complications from being infected by flu, but their close contact with each other means they are more likely to transmit the virus to one another and other vulnerable people. The mass immunisation programme is estimated to lead to 11,000 fewer hospital admissions and 2,000 fewer deaths every year. The Department of Health said it needed to examine a number of issues before the programme can be rolled out. Masses of the vaccine, which will be used on about 9 million children, need to be sourced and a decision needs to be made on who will deliver the vaccine â whether it should be school nurses or other healthcare workers. Health experts also need to decide how the programme will be delivered in a six- to eight-week period ahead of the flu season. The chief medical officer, Professor Dame Sally Davies, said: Severe winter flu and its complications can make people really ill and can kill, particularly those who are weak and frail, which is why we already offer vaccinations to the most at risk groups. We accept the advice of our expert committee that rolling out a wider programme could further protect children, with even a modest takeup helping to protect our most vulnerable. There are significant challenges to delivering a programme that requires up to 9 million children to be vaccinated during a six-week period and we will look at the recommendations in detail to decide how best to develop and deliver the programme. Professor Adam Finn, professor of paediatrics at the University of Bristol, said: I think vaccination of healthy schoolchildren with the new nasal flu vaccine is a good idea as we know it's effective and safe and flu can be a serious illness in childhood, not just in old age. There should be time to do some more research before we introduce the vaccine to help us predict how well such a programme would be accepted and would work. Although children don't die of flu as often as old people do, they can get sick enough to require hospitalisation. Many others are ill enough to require time off school, which is disruptive for them and their families. Children also spread flu to other children and to adults including school staff and their families. Preventing flu in children benefit all children and others too. http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2012/jul/25/flu-vaccine-all-uk-children

He mainly brings up new reseach showing that the outcome of choices presented is a highly complex affair; as we would say karma is unfathomable. This is an interesting way to put it. I was just reading about Feynman's work. Yes there is also that possibility that seems to be an intervention. If one notices the mantra is gone and the sense arises that one should begin it again, and you don't intervene, did you make the choice to come back to the mantra? A more interesting question: is there such a thing as NOT thinking the mantra if you notice that you aren't thinking it? While it is possibly/probably true when thinking is taking place on a very superficial level, that there is an obvious either/or to thinking or not-thinking the mantra, I have often found that the opposite is also true: when thinking is subtle, the distinction between realizing you are not-thinking the mantra and actually thinking it, blurs completely. It all goes back to how one defines thinking the mantra. There are two different comments I have heard on this topic that apply, at least for me: there is no end to how subtle the mantra can become. the thought OF the mantra is still the mantra.

I wonder what he problem is really, they might even be scared of Buck bringing negative vibes into the dome, little realising they are doing plenty of that. But it might be just a financial thing - the TMO is in deep financial shit. Or it might be they sincerely believe their stuff is better! I was obviously being facetious above, but I suspect this is the real reason. And it's not that they actually believe that their stuff is better; it's that they don't want the example of someone benefiting from something that wasn't manufactured here available to other TMers. It seems to me merely an extension of the same demon- ization of techniques of meditation and self discovery that they see as competitors that has been going on with the TMO since Day One. You don't want anyone to even *consider* a competing technique or service, much less benefit from one and tell other meditators about it. The myth has always been If Maharishi didn't teach it, it can't possibly be of any use, and it might be BAD. Whatevr the reason this inquisition is outrageous. I would have been over the horizon in seconds. But then I was the one telling them jyotish was a bunch of superstitious crap when they suggested I stay inside and don't watch a solar eclipse. I Told them I'm not scared of shadows and that was the end of it (bar a lecture on supreme knowledge as revealed by Marshy.) I watched the eclipse, they cowered in their offices. But there was no banning me from the flying room, they must have stepped up the paranoia since those days. To me it's just another hallmark of a spiritual movement in decline. They have realized that they cannot effec- tively expand their numbers by appealing to the public; they have both priced themselves out of that market and PR'd themselves out of it with their shenanigans. So the only way to bring in new meditators is by getting someone else to pay for large-scale programs, such as for schools or the military or the underprivileged. That said, the flip side of that coin is to keep the existing meditators from leaving. This policy seems to be an implementation of that, by trying to prevent them from learning that there are other options -- cheaper and possibly more effective options -- than the TMO offers. Ignorance is not only bliss, it's stasis. How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm after they've seen Par-eee? Simple. Never let them see (or even hear about) Par-eee.

Indeed, practice of the Sidhis will greatly assist humans with their interactions with the council members in the Federation. Guru Dev's emphasis related to the types of personalities that are on the council. Human representatives familiar with matters of consciousness would more easily interact with these personalities regarding matters of state than could representatives not so trained. I got the warning sense that humans should not mess around with the Federation by sending just anyone to the headquarters. It would be like the United States sending an untrained person to be the U.S. ambassador in Moscow. No one would take the person onerously, and Russians would eventually wonder what kind of people the Americans are. Humans need to send representatives to the Federation chambers who are actively engaged in their own accelerated growth in consciousness.

The duplication of the tapes had held up the order but it arrived about a week later. Bell's show was amusing though he tended to be a poor interviewer always dragging the focus from the interviewed back to himself. He is also the cousin of Turq's one time guru Freddie Lenz. I attended one of the UFO symposiums here in the Bay Area in the early 1990s and though I didn't know who he was at the time Bell emceed the event.

Guru Dev Early in our research, both my monitor and I were becoming con-vinced that there was much more to this project than the simple investigation of who was flying the saucers. By the summer of 1994, we had obtained remote-viewing corroboration of the abduction phenomenon, and we were becoming fairly well versed in the ideas underlying the basic genetics program of the Greys and the prob- lems that are being faced by the Martians. However, sensing a much bigger picture, we agreed after much discussion to solidify our earlier but tentative decision to include other targets of wise beings besides Jesus that could give us advice as to how to interpret some of our data. This chapter is the result of targeting one such individual, and I conducted the following session solo in a Type 1 setting. Guru Dev was the meditation teacher of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. During the many months of my remote-viewing research, I was sensing clearly that I needed to ask Guru Dev some questions. Other remote viewers had been observing a group of Martians that they called the priesthood. These Martians seemed to have some out-of-body travel and communication capabilities, and my monitor thought that maybe they did the Sidhis. The Martian priest- hood was on our long list of targets, and I knew that I would eventually be given the target blind. But I wanted to get some in- formation about them before diving my mind into their midst. If they did the Sidhis, I needed to know this, and soon. Thus, one morning in the summer of 1994 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, I targeted Guru Dev. Since it is a solo session, I report it as a narrative, thereby omitting nearly all of the jargon of SRV's protocols. Date: 24 July 1994 Place: Ann Arbor, Michigan Data: Type 1 Target coordinates: 3745/4021 The preliminaries indicated energetics, land, and something man-made. My initial perceptions included colors such as blue, white, and brown. The textures that I perceived were airy. Again, and as with all SRV sessions regardless of data type, I had no idea how I would get to Guru Dev, or in what setting I would find him. The protocols of SRV are set up to force the unconscious to make all of these decisions. My conscious mind was just along for the ride. The temperature was comfortable. I began to discern a sweet taste, and the sounds of a form of Indian music called Gandarva. In the subspace air there was the delicate smell of incense. I began to chuckle to myself: it seemed that Guru Dev was setting a stage. As I proceeded with the protocols, I found myself in a place that seemed more subspace than physical. The topography seemed ir- regularly shaped, with dips and holes, like tide pools along the beaches of East Africa. But there was no water. I noticed that there was a sky overhead. Slightly off-center of my view, a light being looked at me. I perceived this being to be the target and approached. I sensed that it was indeed Guru Dev, and he was waiting for me. Before engaging in a conversation with Guru Dev, I looked around. I made careful observations of the surrounding environment. It was quite colorful, and I found myself remarking that the place was a bit weird (for me). The overall ambiance was very comfortable, but I had never imagined a place that seemed so physical and subspace at the same time. It certainly was a place of special significance, although to this day I do not know where it was. Redirecting my attention to Guru Dev, I noticed that he was wearing wraparound white clothing, although the color was not to- tally white. Indeed, the clothing had many shades of luminous colors to it. I telepathically told him that I had questions. He seemed to know this, and he indicated I could proceed. Remaining within the confines of the SRV protocols, I asked him if the Martians have a

Those are probably your vakriti or how you are functioning when the evaluation was done. The constitution (prakriti) doesn't change.

If you love watching movies and listening to music at home, and you have lots of DVDs and CDs, you may want to build a digital system that can deliver your movies and music without having to physically insert the disk in a player in a particular room. If you're like me, you've got the records in a carton in the garage, the DVDs in shoe boxes, and the CDs on the coffee table. Sure, you can simply turn on a laptop and play a music file. But, what I need is a device to deliver all my files, the videos, photos, and the music to any room in my house at any time; a place to store the large digital video and music files such as my book; and a fast way to access all the files, streaming via wireless connectivity. If you like this idea, you'll want a fast broadband connection with a wireless dual-band N router. And, a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device connected to the wireless router. That way, videos, movies, TV recordings and music can be accessed even when your PC is off and you are away from your desk. All you have to do is select your media with a media player like a Roku box and sit back and relax and enjoy. With a NAS you get a great Admin Console GUI to work with that is intuitive and looks wonderful. Nothing is cryptic, and everything you want is right there in front of you.

So why are you criticizing others who do too? Probably getting up and down to insert a disc is a little good exercise. Most of the time I'm watching either Netflix or an occasional movie on Amazon or Vudu or stuff I've recorded on my DVR. I pick up a disc rental occasionally at Redbox because they, like the others, get some exclusives or have some deals for earlier releases. For instance last night I watched a Sony Stage6 release on DVD from Redbox starring Luke Wilson and Sameul L Jackson called Meeting Evil by the director of S Darko. It's good thriller but probably too violent for most the fragile FFL souls. It may show up on NF WI in a couple months. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1810697/ What I liked about the movie is that it will become another chronicle of the economic collapse of the US. Luke Wilson plays a fired real estate agent whose own home is in foreclosure who meets a stranger played by Jackson who takes him on a wild ride. The opening scenes shows Wilson driving through neighborhoods alive with foreclosure signs. It takes indie films like these to chronicle current events because Hollywood wants to show people a dream world that no longer exists. And BTW, need I remind you've I've been able to stream movies to my 53 HDTV since 2005 when I go an AVeL Linkplayer2 which connected to my home network. This was before I got a Comcast DVR and was using my JVC D-VHS HD recorder to save shows from the Comcast box (yes it would record encrpyted shows). The unencrypted broadcast shows I would record to a computer and play them back through the Linkplayer which also upscaled DVDs over component.

There will be medians constructed at all of Fairfield's seven at-grade crossings, those being: D St, B St, Court St, Main St, 4th St, 9th St, and 23rd St. The press release explains the median specifications; stating that the non-traversable medians are two feet wide, nine inches tall, and run as far as 100 feet back from the railroad gait arm. Halley says, the medians are the simplest and most effective type of Supplemental Safety Measure (SSM) required by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) to establish a quiet zone. According to the FRA risk calculator Fairfield's quiet zone will be twice as safe as the current horn blowing set up. By preventing vehicles from maneuvering around closed gate arms the risk of accidents is reduced by 50%. Once construction of the project is completed, the city of Fairfield will file a Notice of Establishment with the FRA. After an issue-free 21 day comment period, the quiet zone will become a reality, which means that trains passing through town will no longer be required to sound their horns four times for every crossing, though they are permitted to use their horns at any time there's an obstruction in the tracks; wildlife, pedestrians or automobiles for example, according to the press release. Halley says that establishment of Fairfield's quiet zone is expected in October.
[FairfieldLife] Re: SSRS's instruction on silent awareness during meditation
If this is what you meant as my point Lawson sez: And again: noticing something, however subtle, even the first glimmering of awareness of awareness, is no longer pure consciousness. Empty Bill sez: Theny ou do not understand what the witness actually is. However,if you are referring to a point that is different, then please restate you point. Lawson also sez: There are two different comments I have heard on this topic that apply, at least for me: 1. there is no end to how subtle the mantra can become. 2. the thought OF the mantra is still the mantra. Empty Bill sez: 1.There is indeed an end to the subtlety of the mantra. According to Patanjali, the scale of subtlety terminatesin the a-linga the quality of unmarked, non-differentiation (YS 1.45).

The thought OF the mantra is NOT the mantra. If your statement were true then simply the thought mantrawould equally qualify as the mantra. A thought of or thought about the mantra is simply a thought that is all. The actual meditation bija-mantra is that human speech sound pronounced by the initiating teacher.

You are not accounting for this development but are treating pure consciousness only in the exclusionary terms of TC. MMY never treated CC as a sudden appearance but rather as a gradual refinement and clarification of the gross and subtle values of the nervous system. MMY emphasized that Pure Awareness/Pure Consciousness is always present because it is the who in who-we-are. He always pointed to this as the reason anyone might transcend spontaneously during ordinary human experience and that, in fact, such had happened many times in documented human history. Shankara, for his part, pointed out that the sakshi/witness is what we are and can never be generated by any yoga, quality of knowing or any activity. Lawson sez: Buddhists and other traditions warn of getting trapped in subtle experiences. As presented, and argued, the instruction is to revel in the trap, in the guise of calling it something other than a trap. Another case of sweet poison, which SSRS appears to indulge in a lot, it seems. To bad you need to make such claims. You are so poorly informed about other meditative traditions that you believe you can include them as a misfit proof of your assertions. When you make a claim such as the one above you demonstrate that you are a clueless TM ideologue. Robin gets a pass because when he generalizes about The East everyone here knows he has no clue about these traditions. You, however, present yourself as if you understood them when you so obviously do not.
Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Can TM Save Medicare from bankruptcy?
I learned at one of the Ayurvedic workshops I attended where some of the practitioners themselves were overweight that we eat for our mind not our body. I don't know how many people have told me a doctor put them on a diet and they had to quit because they lost their sense of judgment. In 1972 a friend who was attending naturopathic school suggested I get a physical there. The doctor, who was an MD getting his ND, asked me if I was a vegetarian. I said no but I had been trying a vegetarian diet for the last two weeks. He said, you're already anemic and showed me some self tests I could do for that myself. He suggest eating some animal protein two or three times a week. In addition to Ayurveda I also use some of the principals of metabolic typing which is about the at which you burn carbs. Actually Ayurveda is very much about that too and the MT systems has three body types too. There is the carb type (semi-veg) and the protein type (meat eater) and mixed type. And our bodies tend to be dynamic so they don't often keep the same state. It's all more complicated than just burning more calories than you take in. And we haven't even discussed endocrine insufficiencies yet. ;-) On 07/25/2012 12:54 PM, Share Long wrote: Bhairitu wrote: Then you have people who think there is nothing to losing weight that probably have never been on a diet in their life.

As I explain to my Mom, if a person has a sugery breakfast, and even milk will make it so, then they will be craving sweets/carbs the rest of the day. For me, one of the tricks to dieting is to eat food I really enjoy, And to eat good protein especially early in the day. These days I eat mostly uncooked food. Wasn't planning that but it's simply unfolded in this way. And I'm so grateful for our locally owned health food store which carries lots of locally made food such as soups and humuus and more recently a totally yummy quinoa salad. Quinoa has all 12 amino acids and is a seed rather than a grain. Plus I just found out that it's high in calcium which is great since I don't eat dairy foods. Oy, am I sounding like a Baining now?! Anyway, Lawson, as you can tell, I'm into all this and I've been successful losing weight and keeping it off. Without feeling deprived and without compromising my health. My recent blood tests show that even my B12 levels are great, especially for someone who's mainly vegetarian. If you'd like some encouragement or good info, feel free to email me directly.

Those are probably your vakriti or how you are functioning when the evaluation was done. The constitution (prakriti) doesn't change.

For all the fear mongering we hear out of our politicians on the right about how heaven forbid we're going to turn into Greece, the one country you never hear them talk about any more is Iceland.

[FairfieldLife] Re: TM, the Dome Badge, and Religious Practices
Yep, you got it. These clause about using non-TM movement religious services exclusively evidently were put in the guidelines as part of a business plan. It appeared in the Dome admission guidelines as part of a pitch to support the movement pundits exclusively. It got toned down a little towards saying it is okay to go to other services but not host or organize them now. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb no_reply@... wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, salyavin808 fintlewoodlewix@ wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb no_reply@ wrote: When it comes to pundits, it's the same thing.

At the time, I didn't understand, because I loved the program. Now I understand what he had meant. I think that Maharishi as deeply aware of all these issues, he probably assumed, that people, as they advanced would be led on from within, so he only wanted to kick-start them and make sure that they got a good meditation routine.

Yes .In November of 1996, he was a guest on the Art Bell Show, a late-night radio show that features interviews with people who espouse a variety of psychic experiences. That evening the question arose of a photograph of the recently discovered Hale-Bopp comet. The photo seemed to show a white circular object following the comet. Brown stated emphatically that the object was a spacecraft. http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/vision_remota/esp_visionremota_28a.htm As it turned out, Brown's statement found its way to a small group of believers in San Diego, California, who were looking for a spaceship to arrive and carry them away from Earth. Their belief in his statement became one factor leading to the mass suicide of the Heaven's Gate group at the spring equinox. Brown was, of course, in no way responsible for the suicide; his statement just happened to fit into their worldview.Brown's opinions only inadvertently led to his involvement in this unfortunate affair in 1997. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Bhairitu noozguru@... wrote: I've been thinking the last few days about digging out a book by a guest on Art Bell's show during the 1990s.

You are correct, in my opinion, that the various services are meant to be a revenue stream. Peter McWilliams sent me an email before he died, describing a conversation he had with MMY 35+ years ago about how the TM Movement's growth was unsustainable. He too thought that these services were meant to compensate for declining revenue from initiations. That said, I think you are ignoring several things in your analysis: The primary focus of the TM Organization as directed by MMY was on three things: 1) ensure some kind of survival of the TM Organization (and its projects) after MMY died; 2) create permanent groups of TM-Sidhas to meditate in groups for world peace; 3) raise money to support goals one and two. How would YOU go about achieving these goals, Barry?

[FairfieldLife] Re: Guru Dev and Remote Viewing
Hope he will not have the same effect on FFL galactic member --here, courtesy Bhairitu noozguru, the Guru Dev chapter seen in white dhotiwith incense and Gandharva music (Maharishi Gandharva Veda music,?) followed by the chapter conversation with God. Guru Dev Early in our research, both my monitor and I were becoming con-vinced that there was much more to this project than the simple investigation of who was flying the saucers. By the summer of 1994, we had obtained remote-viewing corroboration of the abduction phenomenon, and we were becoming fairly well versed in the ideas underlying the basic genetics program of the Greys and the prob- lems that are being faced by the Martians. However, sensing a much bigger picture, we agreed after much discussion to solidify our earlier but tentative decision to include other targets of wise beings besides Jesus that could give us advice as to how to interpret some of our data. This chapter is the result of targeting one such individual, and I conducted the following session solo in a Type 1 setting. Guru Dev was the meditation teacher of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. During the many months of my remote-viewing research, I was sensing clearly that I needed to ask Guru Dev some questions. Other remote viewers had been observing a group of Martians that they called the priesthood. These Martians seemed to have some out-of-body travel and communication capabilities, and my monitor thought that maybe they did the Sidhis. The Martian priest- hood was on our long list of targets, and I knew that I would eventually be given the target blind. But I wanted to get some in- formation about them before diving my mind into their midst. If they did the Sidhis, I needed to know this, and soon. Thus, one morning in the summer of 1994 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, I targeted Guru Dev. Since it is a solo session, I report it as a narrative, thereby omitting nearly all of the jargon of SRV's protocols. Date: 24 July 1994 Place: Ann Arbor, Michigan Data: Type 1 Target coordinates: 3745/4021 The preliminaries indicated energetics, land, and something man-made. My initial perceptions included colors such as blue, white, and brown. The textures that I perceived were airy. Again, and as with all SRV sessions regardless of data type, I had no idea how I would get to Guru Dev, or in what setting I would find him. The protocols of SRV are set up to force the unconscious to make all of these decisions. My conscious mind was just along for the ride. The temperature was comfortable. I began to discern a sweet taste, and the sounds of a form of Indian music called Gandarva. In the subspace air there was the delicate smell of incense. I began to chuckle to myself: it seemed that Guru Dev was setting a stage. As I proceeded with the protocols, I found myself in a place that seemed more subspace than physical. The topography seemed ir- regularly shaped, with dips and holes, like tide pools along the beaches of East Africa. But there was no water. I noticed that there was a sky overhead. Slightly off-center of my view, a light being looked at me. I perceived this being to be the target and approached. I sensed that it was indeed Guru Dev, and he was waiting for me. Before engaging in a conversation with Guru Dev, I looked around. I made careful observations of the surrounding environment. It was quite colorful, and I found myself remarking that the place was a bit weird (for me). The overall ambiance was very comfortable, but I had never imagined a place that seemed so physical and subspace at the same time. It certainly was a place of special significance, although to this day I do not know where it was. Redirecting my attention to Guru Dev, I noticed that he was wearing wraparound white clothing, although the color was not to- tally white. Indeed, the clothing had many shades of luminous colors to it. I telepathically told him that I had questions. He seemed to know this, and he indicated I could proceed. Remaining within the confines of the SRV protocols, I asked him if the Martians have a priesthood. The response was clear: they do. I then asked if the priesthood does the Sidhis. Quite clearly, they do not. I immediately asked him what they worship. Interestingly, he indicated to me that I should find out from them. He thought I should experience it directly. I then asked Guru Dev if the Federation council members do the Sidhis. I sensed that he became a bit more serious, and he in- formed me that tl with fully trained diplomats. The galactic diplomacy course that I have constructed is outlined in a later chapter.(CHAPTER God.) To my readers, I have a confession: for this chapter, neither my monitor nor I could restrain ourselves. For a long while we tried to steer this book entirely away from religious topics. But the idea of evolution toward some central point reappeared wherever we looked. Moreover, religious themes kept overlapping with what we thought were simple ET concepts. Prior to this, my

Now, it is sometimes/often/always my experience that simply being aware that I am not thinking the mantra is indeed, in some sense, thinking the mantra, but a choice didn't need to be made in that situation, anyway. Buddhists and other traditions warn of getting trapped in subtle experiences. As presented, and argued, the instruction is to revel in the trap, in the guise of calling it something other than a trap. Another case of sweet poison, which SSRS appears to indulge in a lot, it seems. Recent neurological research seems to indicate that even in waking, choices are made in the brain prior to any conscious awareness that such a thing has happened, as much as seven seconds prior to conscious awareness that 'I made a choice'. This seems to cast doubt on the idea that there is a chooser that is conscious; rather we become aware of it after the fact. Maybe stuff just happens, and there is no chooser, and we have a false idea that 'I' did it.

When we are awake we are conscious, even if we cannot define what consciousness is. The experience called TC is also consciousness, but it is not a separate entity. TM is kind of like an analytical reductionist state, where ever-present consciousness is separated out experientially, as it were, from normal activity. In waking the mind is active and the reflection of that in consciousness is active. When in TC, the mind is still, the reflection of that is still, no activity, no intellection, no ability to define. It is consciousness experiencing an undefined value; activity, consciousness in a defined value. So in a sense consciousness is never really 'pure' as a separate thing, it is just the means to grasp wider experience by creating a temporary artificial state. Consciousness is not something elsewhere, it is always here. To get people to meditate, one tells them a fib, that there is this better thing one can experience because if you tell them they already have consciousness in full measure, they won't be able to conceive that is true until they have a wider range of experience. Take salt. A transparent crystal. We can find out more about salt by chemically breaking it down and putting it back together. We can break it into a yellow-greenish gas and a bright silvery metal. But the wholeness of salt is gone in this state, until we chemically put the two components back together. This analogy breaks down, because chlorine and sodium are entities, while consciousness is not. Being contains active and non active but we can't tell which is which until we experience clearly what truly deep inactivity is, when all possible activity is

Fairfield should call on Gov. Rick Perry to come and lead a prayer for rain. He did so ,here in Houston, last year and the drought began to break and so far this year we are way ahead of our rainfall needs.

Things are changing and no the focus is on mediating the now inevitable climate changes. Thank goodness for scientists who are coming up with the ideas to counteract, hopefully, the changes. A lot more meditating and a lot less consumption of things is the only way to get all of us through. Think of a standard of living in Iowa at about the time of the war of 1812. That would be the right target sustainability level to get to. If people meditated more they'd consume less through the hours of the day and they'd also become more spiritually aligned with large Nature. More meditation would be good for everyone. Respectfully, -Buck in the Dome Well, and as usual it is non-meditation and non-meditators that are the problem globally. The science is getting pretty clear about this.
[FairfieldLife] Re: Tantrum Yoga
Words that come to mind regarding Turquoise B's posts: belligerent, aggressive, contemptuous. He gives the impression that he despises this forum and most of the people who post here. He frequently goads others, sneers at them, insults them. Although he claims otherwise, he is extremely attached to his own opinions and beliefs. awoelflebater: And lest we forget the golden Barry classic, Dumb angry cunts too stupid to live... A few of us pretty much pegged 'Uncle Tantra' as a phoney and a racist years ago. What is surprising is how long it took others to come to the same conclusion! Shit, all Barry had to do is drive a few miles over to Languedoc and send us a report about the Cathars, or put his Cathar book online for us to read, or maybe visit the Library of Paris to find out some information. Jeezus, you'd think a guy would have time to take a course in history from a community college or something! Because he didn't do any of the above, so Barry got his ass kicked real good over on on Usenet at alt.religion.gnostic. LoL! Everyone knows that Bogumils are derivbed from Paulicans, Paulicans from Manicheans, Manicheans from Gnostics, thus Cathars are derived from Gnostics. Moggers can understand this simple fact, 'cletantra can't. Go figure. And, almost everyone knows that dualism is one of the main religious philosphies in South Asia!

It may take Delia a year or two to respond to your query, so here's some data on the Cathars... Uncle Tantra: Willy, Willy, Willy, you're such an idiot sometimes it actually inspires awe. :-) I'm not interested in cheap, cheezy shit you can find on the Net about the Cathars, most of it fiction. I specifically asked Delia how they are regarded and classified in formal religous studies programs, because dualism doesn't quite fit into the polite monotheist/polytheist/monism notions she's been discussing lately. It's not like I'm going to *believe* or *agree with* any of those formal religious studies definitions, but I am curious as to what they are. And you wouldn't know any of that because when it comes to anything you can't crib off the Net, you're as hopeless as your concept of geography. Languedoc is a mile away from Paris about the same as Austin is a mile away from Lousiana. Why don't you walk over to N'Awlins this afternoon and use their library and learn something? :-)

Peter McWilliams sent me an email before he died, describing a conversation he had with MMY 35+ years ago about how the TM Movement's growth was unsustainable. He too thought that these services were meant to compensate for declining revenue from initiations. That said, I think you are ignoring several things in your analysis: The primary focus of the TM Organization as directed by MMY was on three things: 1) ensure some kind of survival of the TM Organization (and its projects) after MMY died; 2) create permanent groups of TM-Sidhas to meditate in groups for world peace; 3) raise money to support goals one and two. How would YOU go about achieving these goals, Barry? I would try not to alienate the hardcore TBs for a start. The more people realise they are part of a fundamentalist group the less likely they'll be to stick around, check out Buck's tales of falling numbers in the domes, there's got to be a reason if it's that good. Did I read in the Times of India that half the money held in trust has been half-inched by Maharishi's family? I'd do something about that, probably a few billion useful dollars there.
