[FairfieldLife] 'Timelines by Zeta'

2012-08-03 Thread Robert
 
 

Uniting our Physical and Energetic Selves Activates Fifth-Dimensional Timelines
 
 
 
We are in an amazing time filled with new potentials that offer each person the 
possibility to experience their highest visions and gift the world with amazing 
new ideas, innovations, works of art and discoveries.
The key to living along timelines where our highest and best exists is to unite 
our physical and energetic selves. As we become one within ourselves, we're 
able to unite with the gifts and talents we have cultivated throughout the 
history of our soul. Cultivating inner oneness allows us to do all this and 
more.
The greatest challenges we face are those that arise from a state of inner 
separation. This is what happens when we choose to see ourselves solely as a 
physical being. When we limit our experience to only that which we can observe 
with our physical senses, we cut ourselves off from a great amount of the 
assistance we would otherwise receive from our energetic self. It is through 
the union of our physical and energetic selves that we're able to access 
fifth-dimensional timelines aligned with our highest visions and dreams.
Unifying the Physical and the Energetic Bodies
We have a physical body we're able to observe through our five senses. Working 
in conjunction with the physical level is our energetic body which exists 
beyond the physical. Our energetic self is not confined to the boundaries of 
time and space. It is able to ride waves of energy and pick up the vibration of 
realities crystalyzing in our near future. Our energy body can access portals 
and time openings, receive and send information to and from the vast libraries 
of all-time and all-knowing. This information and assistance can be used to 
restore balance to all levels of our being.
Dream States help Assimilate Universal Knowledge
Once our energy body brings us what is needed, this information is assimilated 
in various ways, including dream states and deep levels of meditation. As we 
allow ourselves to put these understandings to use in our daily lives, we're 
able to restore balance at all levels of our being. When we restore balance in 
this way, we're able to bring about healing and regeneration of our physical 
system. Universal knowledge accessed by our energetic self helps us heal 
emotional wounds and unite with talents and abilities from past and future life 
selves. It allows us to experience deeper levels of self-realization in this 
lifetime. One lifetime fully realized has the power to entrain past and future 
life selves to their highest potentials and set us on the path of ascension.
We are More than our Physical Selves
Keys to unifying our physical and energetic bodies is to accept that we are 
more than our physical selves. This sounds simple but throughout time people 
have set intentions that effectively closed them off from receiving the 
blessings derived from the unification of these aspects of themselves.
Thought Viruses Seek to Conquer and Divide
Those divided within themselves are easy to control and enslave. When a person 
is shut off from receiving assistance and understanding from their energetic 
self, they are disempowered, their energy easily preyed upon. This leaves them 
subject to scarcity, struggle, suffering, disease and death.
Thought viruses are passed from one person to another. They are encoded into 
certain belief systems in much the same way that viruses are encoded into 
computer programs. When our physical and energetic selves work together, we are 
able to see through the thought viruses we encounter. We can be grateful for 
thought viruses because they provide us with important feedback as to where 
we're at with inner unification.
Intention Filters Block the Union of the Physical and Energetic Bodies
Our energetic self is always going out, bringing us what we need to carry out 
our mission here. It always brings us everything we ask for at the moment we 
ask for it. If we are not receiving the things we ask for, we can examine if 
we're blocking ourselves from receiving the love, information, abundance, 
assistance and resources we're asking for.
Some people limit their receptivity through beliefs about what they feel they 
deserve or don't deserve. Some people limit their receiving capability due to 
unhealed or unresolved emotions. There's an array of filters a person might 
place on their existence, each tied to a wound, intention or limiting belief 
that serves as a filter for their experience. Ironically, these filters block 
the very things that empower and enrich experience.
As we observe our own consciousness and bring awareness to any filters we're 
placing on our potentials, we're able to burn through anything that stands 
between our physical and energetic selves and the magical synchronicities that 
are the natural result of these two aspects of ourselves working together in 
perfect peace and harmony.

Dear Raunchydog,

So glad there is some FFL poster who is watching the Olympics and saw the 
glorious performance of the irreisistible and celestially bouncing Gabby 
Douglas--what a beautiful creature she is. There is no form of athletics which 
asks so much as does gymnastics does--not even the Decathlon.

I like that someone in the world felt the sensations that I did in watching 
Gabby's individual performance--and would communicate this on FFL.

Does this mean that your granddaughter knows and trains in the same facility as 
does Gabby Douglas?

Well, I will remember you tonight, Raunchydog, when I watch the NBC coverage. 
Bob Costas, the Jesus Christ of sports announcers, I figure. But all the NBC 
colour commentators--for swimming, for gymnastics, for volleyball--they are all 
superb.

We might, here on FFL, have the basis of a water polo team--you know: all that 
blood in the water left after the Hungary and Soviet Union match in 1956.

But Share refuses to pull anyone under the water and smash at them with her 
fists. The rest of us know the rules of water polo and play the game as hard as 
it has to be played here in the FFL pool.

To be an Olympian, might be the best experience anyone can have of physical 
achievement--and something well beyond that.. Did you see those US women eights 
row to victory yesterday?

The Olympics in London, there has never been anything like it. And the 
highlight for me is the performance of the US Fab Five--and Gabby especially.

Enough. Enjoy Lake Huron.

Robin

If MMY 'the great pretender' only nailed a couple of broads in his lifetime 
with all that money and power, he was a pretty poor Don Juan, don't cha think? 
;-)

Come on Turq, you know you and I would be nailing them all and probably have a 
harem to boot!

That's a silly comment. He "nailed" quite a few, but he couldn't exactly go hog 
wild and yet retain secrecy. It's amazing he was able to keep it as secret as 
he did. I believe that may be why he placed such emphasis on secrecy and 
confidentiality in general. Those in positions of authority knew things on a 
need to know basis. Neil Paterson wouldn't tell you what brand of toothpaste he 
used.

RESPONSE: I think this comment by Rich to be apposite--and holding within 
itself a level of sophistication that begins to go to what the reality is. I 
have never had that thought: "I believe that may be why he placed such emphasis 
on secrecy and confidentiality in general". It seems it could be true.

For myself, I think there are a number of things  to think about if one assumes 
the veracity of  Judy Bourque's testimony (corroborated most unforgettable in 
Robert McCutcheon's "Afterword and Witness Testimonial"):

1. Maharishi either did not care to preserve his integrity in this way, and 
therefore does not have a conscience, or else he was unable to control his 
carnal desires, and surrendered himself up to his concupiscence involuntarily, 
as it were. Judith was, after all, a beautiful woman: she certainly would put 
his enlightenment to the test (in this way, enlightenment--Maharishi's at 
least--requires some vow of celibacy, which presumably Maharishi gave in the 
course of his commitment to Swami Brahmananda Saraswati).

2. Were TM to be what Maharishi claimed it to be:--Nature's way of coming to 
know the Unified Field, Nature's way of knowing the final truth about nature, 
Nature's way of fulfilling one full potential as a human being--*Nature would 
never allow the exponent, the personal embodiment, of this truth to be 
compromised in this way*. Nature would have supported Maharishi's celibacy. The 
fact that Nature did not do this, tells us everything we need to know about the 
finality of Nature's commitment to the truth of TM, since guarding the 
reputation of Maharishi in this way would  have been a sine qua non. And, as 
well, what Nature ['Nature' here designates the source of truth, the source of 
'creative intelligence', the ultimate arbiter of what is real] really thought 
of Maharishi is revealed in allowing Maharishi to disgrace himself in this way. 
That is, not in the act of having a physical relationship with Judith Bourque, 
but in his implicit presentation of himself as someone incapable of succumbing 
to the insistence of his erotic feelings.

3. Maharishi must have known somehow that the truth would eventually come out 
about him. He did nothing to prepare his disciples, or his successor, for this 
scandal, a scandal who reverberations would never cease, because of how 
impressive and beautiful and believable Maharishi was in terms of radiating out 
from himself the truth of his very Teaching. Imagine, had someone posed 
theoretically the questions to him: Maharishi, what would should a disciple of 
a Master do or feel if that Master, who was sworn--one must believe, happily 
so--to celibacy, violates that vow and demonstrates by doing so that he is a 
prisoner of something other than his own pure consciousness?" Maharishi was 
never able to compute the inevitably consequences of his having 
indulged--however sincerely at the level of romance--his carnal desires in this 
way. What Rich brings out attention to seems to offer up an answer to this: 
Maharishi thought he, as it were, could behave in a way which would 
metaphysically somehow keep the universe itself from divulging the truth about 
his inability or unwillingness to live out the truth which he so powerfully and 
explicitly imposed upon those who were most devoted to him.

4. The extent to which none of us at the time (early to mid seventies) could 
possibly come to believe Maharishi did what Judith Bourque has told us he did,

Dear Raunchydog,

So glad there is some FFL poster who is watching the Olympics and saw the 
glorious performance of the irreisistible and celestially bouncing Gabby 
Douglas--what a beautiful creature she is. There is no form of athletics which 
asks so much as does gymnastics does--not even the Decathlon.

I like that someone in the world felt the sensations that I did in watching 
Gabby's individual performance--and would communicate this on FFL.

Does this mean that your granddaughter knows and trains in the same facility as 
does Gabby Douglas?

Well, I will remember you tonight, Raunchydog, when I watch the NBC coverage. 
Bob Costas, the Jesus Christ of sports announcers, I figure. But all the NBC 
colour commentators--for swimming, for gymnastics, for volleyball--they are all 
superb.

We might, here on FFL, have the basis of a water polo team--you know: all that 
blood in the water left after the Hungary and Soviet Union match in 1956.

But Share refuses to pull anyone under the water and smash at them with her 
fists. The rest of us know the rules of water polo and play the game as hard as 
it has to be played here in the FFL pool.

To be an Olympian, might be the best experience anyone can have of physical 
achievement--and something well beyond that.. Did you see those US women eights 
row to victory yesterday?

The Olympics in London, there has never been anything like it. And the 
highlight for me is the performance of the US Fab Five--and Gabby especially.

Enough. Enjoy Lake Huron.

Robin

Thanks so much Raunchy, unfortunately in Canada I can't see it but others in

I get in spats all the time with "philosophical vegetarians."  As you 
know I'm a strong believer in biochemical individuality which is a 
cornerstone of Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine and of course the western 
re-invention sometimes referred to as metabolic typing.  The theory is 
we are what our ancestors ate and hence it may be difficult to break 
from that heritage without some physical problems.  I've seen this time 
and time again as people experiment with diet.

All glory to gymnast, Gabby Douglas! Fabulous! Only 4'11, just a little bit of

Dear Rick,

That is not something I know anything about, and it surprises me. Bevan always 
seemed to me to be a highly principled person. I do think, however, I know of 
someone who was close to Maharishi who was the only naturally celibate 
initiator I have ever known--and I think, moreover, his communion with 
Maharishi was like no one else's. He made teaching TM and being a disciple of 
Maharishi seem a very pure and irreproachable profession. He always carried the 
authority of his perfect surrender to Maharishi, and he himself found a dharma 
which was almost critic-proof.

I think even women always felt the flawlessness of his celibacy and therefore 
were comfortable around him for this very reason. But the real point I am 
trying to make here, Rick, is this person *knew Maharishi the man* as well as 
Maharishi the Master. And I felt that Maharishi made himself known in this way 
only to this person. Therefore this person, and this person only, really has 
the credentials to tell us all about Maharishi the man, the human being. For 
this person was objective about Maharishi, else he could not have delivered 
such a serene performance in every second (or so it seemed to me) that he 
served Maharishi. I don't think even after Maharishi's death was this 
relationship severed.

But he carried something so enigmatic in his deportment and person, that I 
hardly feel I know him even as I know you, whom I have never even met. But this 
person, I wish he would write a book about Maharishi, because his relationship 
with Maharishi was totally real--both from the side of Maharishi and from his 
own side.

He never pretended anything; he just remained attuned to Maharishi--in all his 
aspects. And he was totally believable in this. He was faultless in his 
devotion to an apparently faulty human being; but this person had this 
advantage: he saw how profound a person Maharishi was, and how the entire 
universe was willing to demonstrate how significant a being Maharishi was. And 
that is the story about Maharishi, Rick--at least it is for me. To be able to 
see Maharishi as he really was, including what Judith Bourque reveals in her 
book, requires also to see him as a truly cosmic being. This person I speak of 
he always could see that Maharishi was like no human being of our lifetime; he 
saw his spiritual integrity, no matter how it was compromised in his actions as 
a human being. And what this person apprehended, it was powerful and ineffable.

I would trust his account of Maharishi, and no one else's. Until then we only 
get the polarized and psychologically determined portraits--only in this person 
exists a paradigm that potentially can address the contradiction of Maharishi.

I will neither confirm or deny any candidates that you might feel tempted to 
put before me. I cannot do this. I respect this person's integrity too much, 
although it is a form of integrity which is outside the range of my own human 
possibilities. One thing I would say: Maharishi respected and loved this 
initiator more than anyone else. But only Maharishi and this person could know 
this.

What I seek, Rick, is some reconciliation of these antinomies in Maharishi. 
Only in this way can we ever obtain a proper estimate of him inside the 
universe. I have my reservations about him--to say the least--but I know he 
came upon the earth for some reason which transcends everything he has taught 
and everything he has done. And I believe this person possesses the capacity to 
speak about Maharishi and write about Maharishi such as--while excluding from 
his own experience the impact of, for instance, Judith's

Just curious Vaj. What is the physical sensation you experience when you allow 
yourself to strike out at people? What is the corresponding cerebral 
experience? Is there a reward in it for you and what does it feel like? Do you 
get high Vaj? Is it the same sensation as when you do something loving for 
someone? What feels better, hurling insults or providing caring support? Just 
curious. Maybe there's a clinical or spiritual condition that you fall under

Dear Rick,

Had it not been for what you said about Maharishi and secrecy, I doubt I

I think it was the toothpaste. :-)

You will see that I have added a ninth reflection, for me, the most
important one of all.

The only way anything can change here is if either Bevan or someone else can
communicate to us something about Maharishi which somehow is inclusive of
his behaviour with women--women, that is, who caused him to feel intense
physical desire.

Perhaps with Bevan (or this other person) such a portrait of Maharishi can
emerge. But that would mean writing a book--it is I believe a book that
Bevan's soul desperately would want him to write, but Bevan, he is likely to
deny to his soul this satisfaction.

Bevan was as guilty of such behavior as MMY was. I doubt any such book will
be forthcoming.

It has (appeared in his “performance”), wasn’t it Judith who noted the distress 
of Maheshiji and the drowning of a student on a course as stemming from his own 
sexual karmas? Perhaps that was from Conny Larsson?


>From Robert McCutcheon: (Maharishi's former secretary)

Ned, you are spot-on in what you say about Maharishi and the TM movement. My 
faith in Maharishi's supposed perfection dissipated when he got sexually 
involved with Jennifer. Then when she left him and went to hide out in 
Switzerland with Bev and Fran, I observed him reduced to the status of a 
quivering adolescent.


Vaj - apparently great yogic-rishi types turn into sniveling, quivering 
adolescents when the lingam can no longer find the yonified field. Who’da thunk?

Come on Turq, you know you and I would be nailing them all and probably have a 
harem to boot!

That's a silly comment. He "nailed" quite a few, but he couldn't exactly go hog 
wild and yet retain secrecy. It's amazing he was able to keep it as secret as 
he did. I believe that may be why he placed such emphasis on secrecy and 
confidentiality in general. Those in positions of authority knew things on a 
need to know basis. Neil Paterson wouldn't tell you what brand of toothpaste he 
used.

RESPONSE: I think this comment by Rich to be apposite--and holding within 
itself a level of sophistication that begins to go to what the reality is. I 
have never had that thought: "I believe that may be why he placed such emphasis 
on secrecy and confidentiality in general". It seems it could be true.

For myself, I think there are a number of things  to think about if one assumes 
the veracity of  Judy Bourque's testimony (corroborated most unforgettable in 
Robert McCutcheon's "Afterword and Witness Testimonial"):

1. Maharishi either did not care to preserve his integrity in this way, and 
therefore does not have a conscience, or else he was unable to control his 
carnal desires, and surrendered himself up to his concupiscence involuntarily, 
as it were. Judith was, after all, a beautiful woman: she certainly would put 
his enlightenment to the test (in this way, enlightenment--Maharishi's at 
least--requires some vow of celibacy, which presumably Maharishi gave in the 
course of his commitment to Swami Brahmananda Saraswati).

2. Were TM to be what Maharishi claimed it to be:--Nature's way of coming to 
know the Unified Field, Nature's way of knowing the final truth about nature, 
Nature's way of fulfilling one full potential as a human being--*Nature would 
never allow the exponent, the personal embodiment, of this truth to be 
compromised in this way*. Nature would have supported Maharishi's celibacy. The 
fact that Nature did not do this, tells us everything we need to know about the 
finality of Nature's commitment to the truth of TM, since guarding the 
reputation of Maharishi in this way would  have been a sine qua non. And, as 
well, what Nature ['Nature' here designates the source of truth, the source of 
'creative intelligence', the ultimate arbiter of what is real] really thought 
of Maharishi is revealed in allowing Maharishi to disgrace himself in this way. 
That is, not in the act of having a physical relationship with Judith Bourque, 
but in his implicit presentation of himself as someone incapable of succumbing 
to the insistence of his erotic feelings.

3. Maharishi must have known somehow that the truth would eventually come out 
about him. He did nothing to prepare his disciples, or his successor, for this 
scandal, a scandal who reverberations would never cease, because of how 
impressive and beautiful and believable Maharishi was in terms of radiating out 
from himself the truth of his very Teaching. Imagine, had someone posed 
theoretically the questions to him: Maharishi, what would should a disciple of

If MMY 'the great pretender' only nailed a couple of broads in his lifetime 
with all that money and power, he was a pretty poor Don Juan, don't cha think? 
;-)

Come on Turq, you know you and I would be nailing them all and probably have a 
harem to boot!

That's a silly comment. He "nailed" quite a few, but he couldn't exactly go hog 
wild and yet retain secrecy. It's amazing he was able to keep it as secret as 
he did. I believe that may be why he placed such emphasis on secrecy and 
confidentiality in general. Those in positions of authority knew things on a 
need to know basis. Neil Paterson wouldn't tell you what brand of toothpaste he 
used.

RESPONSE: I think this comment by Rick to be apposite--and holding within 
itself a level of sophistication that begins to go to what the reality is. I 
have never had that thought: "I believe that may be why he [Maharishi] placed 
such emphasis on secrecy and confidentiality in general". It seems it could be 
true.

For myself, I think there are a number of things  to think about if one assumes 
the veracity of Judy Bourque's testimony (corroborated most unforgettably in 
Robert McCutcheon's "Afterword and Witness Testimonial"):

1. Maharishi either did not care to preserve his integrity in this way [that 
is, match his private life with his declared public persona--not caring about 
the consequences of this], and therefore does not have a conscience, or else he 
was unable to control his carnal desires, and surrendered himself up to his 
concupiscence involuntarily, as it were. Judith was, after all, a beautiful 
young woman: she certainly would put his enlightenment to the test (in this 
way, enlightenment--Maharishi's at least--requires some vow of celibacy, which 
presumably Maharishi gave in the course of his commitment to Swami Brahmananda 
Saraswati).

2. Were TM to be what Maharishi claimed it to be:--Nature's way of coming to 
know the Unified Field, Nature's way of knowing the final truth about nature, 
Nature's way of fulfilling one full potential as a human being--*Nature would 
never allow the exponent, the personal embodiment, of this truth to be 
compromised in this way*. Nature would have supported Maharishi's celibacy. The 
fact that Nature did not do this, tells us everything we need to know about the 
finality of Nature's commitment to the truth of TM, since guarding the 
reputation of Maharishi in this way would  have been a sine qua non. And, as 
well, what Nature ['Nature' here designates the source of truth, the source of 
'creative intelligence', the ultimate arbiter of what is real] really thought 
of Maharishi is revealed in allowing Maharishi to disgrace himself in this way. 
That is, not in the act of having a physical relationship with Judith Bourque, 
but in his implicit presentation of himself as someone incapable of succumbing 
to the insistence of his erotic desire. 

3. Maharishi must have known somehow that the truth would eventually come out 
about him. He did nothing to prepare his disciples, or his successor, for this 
scandal, a scandal whose reverberations would never cease, because of how 
impressive and beautiful and believable Maharishi was in terms of radiating out 
from himself the truth of his very Teaching. Imagine, had someone posed 
theoretically the question to him: "Maharishi, what  should a disciple of a 
Master do or feel if that Master, who was sworn--one must believe, happily 
so--to celibacy, violates that vow and demonstrates by doing so that he is a 
prisoner of something other than his own pure consciousness?" Maharishi was 
never able to compute the inevitable consequences of his having 
indulged--however sincerely at the level of romance--his carnal desires in this 
way. What Rick brings our attention to seems to offer up an answer to this: 
Maharishi thought he, as it were, could behave in a way which would 
metaphysically somehow keep the universe itself from divulging the truth about 
his inability or unwillingness to live out the truth which he so powerfully and 
explicitly imposed upon those wh

[FairfieldLife] Is your vegetariansim a mask for an eating disorder?

2012-08-03 Thread turquoiseb
Fascinating study, one that doesn't surprise me, either about
vegetarians or other kinds of "food trippers" -- those who stick to a
rigid diet of any kind.
Vegetarianism, Eating Disorder Study Reveals Worrisome Relationship
Among Women  "I can't eat that, sorry."
If you're a vegetarian, that's a refrain you're probably familiar  with.
Food abounds -- at work, at social gatherings -- but you don't  partake
because of your dietary restrictions. That mystery hors d'oeuvre  or
greasy teriyaki stick? Thanks but no thanks.

There are many valid reasons to be a vegetarian (see: the  environment,
your health, and the dismal state of the meat industry, for  starters).
But what if you go vegetarian to help disguise and aid an  eating
disorder?

New research suggests a large percentage of women with eating disorders
may be doing just that.

Women suffering from eating disorders are four times more likely to  be
vegetarian than women without eating disorders, according to a recent
study published
  in
the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

The researchers found that 52 percent of women with a history of  eating
disorders had been vegetarians at some point in their lives. In 
contrast, only 12 percent of women without eating disorders had 
experimented with a vegetarian diet.

For clinicians who work with eating disorder patients, the results of
the study were not surprising.

"Going vegetarian can be another way to cut out a food category, or a 
number of food categories, if you become a vegan," Vanessa Kane-Alves, a
registered dietician with Boston Children's Hospital's Eating Disorders 
Program, told The Huffington Post. "It makes it easier when people ask 
you questions about where those foods have gone. It's a more socially 
acceptable way to restrict foods."

Especially as a teen, parents might be less apt to argue with you for
not eating, she added.

Kane-Alves, who was not involved in the study, emphasized that the 
research doesn't argue vegetarianism causes eating disorders, or is 
unhealthy. Instead, it suggests vegetarianism can be a symptom of an 
eating disorder for some women.

"The takeaway of this study is, as a clinician, if you have a patient 
who tells you they want to be a vegetarian, it's worth exploring that 
more than you would have otherwise," she said. She suggests doctors ask 
their patients why they want to go vegetarian.

In the study, the motivation to go vegetarian was starkly different 
between women with eating disorders and those who were not. None of the 
women without eating disorders reported becoming vegetarians to lose 
weight. In contrast, almost half of those with an eating disorder 
history said weight was their primary motivator.

Of the women with a history of eating disorders and a history of 
vegetarianism, 68 percent said there was a relationship between the two.
A vegetarian diet helped them lose weight, cut calories and feel in 
control, they reported.

Going vegetarian in order to lose weight and control eating can also 
fall into the category of orthorexia -- an obsession with healthy eating
that can cover for an eating disorder
 ,
according to Kane-Alves.

"It's one and the same," she said. "It's all restricting food groups, 
spending a lot of time in your life thinking about food, preparing 
food, reading labels, when you don't necessarily have to."

She pointed out, too, that only five percent of those fully recovered
from their eating disorder were still vegetarians.

"We always try to respect vegetarian eating practices, but what this 
suggests is that maybe we should have different recommendations for 
vegetarians with eating disorders who are trying to get better," she 
said. "We need to at least have a discussion with the person about how 
it might be getting in the way of their recovery."

I have a quote from one of Maharishi's
lesser-known videotapes. In it he says:

"Let's face it, I fucked `em all. I mean, that's what 
I do. That's why I went to school. I mean, they're 
always there – and I don't know what I'm apologizing 
for, so sometimes I fuck `em. I go into the room and 
they're so great looking, you know...and they feel 
great and they smell great...you know, and I could 
be just on the street or stop at a stop light or go 
into an elevator or there's a beautiful girl. I don't 
know...I mean, that's it – it makes my day – makes 
me feel like I'm gonna live forever. As far as I'm 
concerned, with what I'd like to have done at this 
point in my life...I know I should've accomplished 
more but I got no regrets – Jesus – aahhh... maybe 
that means I don't love them. Maybe that means I 
don't love you. I don't know. Nobody's gonna tell 
me I don't like `em very much." 

Oh.

Wait. 

I just looked at the label on the videotape,
and it wasn't Maharishi after all. That was 
Warren Beatty, in the film "Shampoo." 

Never mind.

Not. He's made it very clear in many of his posts that he
feels an agonizing sense of responsibility for whatever
harm he did during his WTS period.

Even though Robin is the only spiritual teacher she's ever

That's the "key trick" in almost all of these kinds of
situations. The trick works best on communities of seekers
in which no one ever seems to achieve the goal that they
espouse. When people have *heard about* enlightenment
for many years but never experienced it themselves, and
in many cases never seen a living embodiment of it, they
become suckers for anyone who breezes into town wearing
Narcissistic Personality Disorder-induced charisma, and
just *believe* them. If you question them about it, the
conversation usually goes like this:

Me: So how do you know that this person was enlightened?
Them: Why, he (or she) said so, of course.
Me: But how do you know that he (she) was telling you

Without ever showing anyone a legitimate example of them.


At that time, many of us actually believed the research which claimed  
to be examples of such changes! Little did we know that independent  
experts had, as early as the 80's, already shown most of these claims  
were wrong or very exaggerated at best. And given there was no  
transparency, no one even bothered to tell any of us about these  
independent views. We were a deliberately constructed vacuum.

However, if the person is suffering from NPD and only *thinks*
that he or she is enlightened, they don't feel this sense of
responsibility. One of the primary symptoms of narcissism is
the inability to care for other people or feel responsibility
for them; narcissists only pretend to.


Precisely, good point, esp. in this case since RWC does fit quite of  
few of the criteria.





> ...the problem is, 'what happens when da guru ain't

Or not even close?

The problem, as I see it, is gullibility. Seekers are
in many cases so *desperate* for someone to tell them
what to do to realize their own enlightenment that they
will believe almost anyone who claims to be able to do
that.


Well and consider RWC, with his MFA had quite the stage show. In  
retrospect the demonic confrontation thing could have been straight  
out of some charismatic southern church.



They hear sales pitches like "My method is the fastest
method ever devised for realizing enlightenment," and
it NEVER EVEN OCCURS TO THEM to ask the obvious
question: "Oh yeah? Show me some of your students who
have become enlightened as a result of doing what you
told them."

I completely agree with your use of the terms "spiritual
pathologies" and "enablers."

My experience is that those who respond to narcissistic
charisma in one spiritual teacher will do so over and over
again, seemingly without learning a damned thing. And along
the way they'll vehemently deny that any of their decisions
to follow people they no longer consider good teachers were
flawed, or that the teachers themselves were flawed. They'll
trot out the "enabler language," and say that they "made
the right decision at the time," denying vehemently that
either they or the teacher in question ever made a Bad
Decision.


That certainly sounds like Ann, from my POV any way.

Interesting how Robin never seems to interact with her. What's up  
with that?

Subj: A Special Message for Fairfield Iowa: The Heart of Politics for America

 


08/03/2012

 

 

A special message to the Transcendental Meditation organization, the Fairfield 
Iowa community and leaders of religious and spiritual organizations worldwide,

 

Over the past 10,000 years or so a patriarchal world has dominated the 
consciousness of humanity. 

 

Women have suffered greatly from this. Men have shown the world over and over 
again that they cannot create world peace based on a patriarchal system.

 

A balance is necessary. As we move into astrological signatures to open up 
portals of light to eliminate small thinking, it is vital that everyone remain 
open to new ideas and implement them as soon as possible to avoid more pain and 
suffering in the family of humanity.

 

Therefore, I am asking the Transcendental Meditation organization to 
immediately train 1,000 women to chant the Vedas to represent the female side 
of creation. 

 

This will soften the hard edges of ignorance that man has created for himself. 

 

The Transcendental Meditation organization, Catholic Church (Vatican) and the 
Brahman caste of India as well as many other religious organizations have cut 
off the female vibration of life.

 

This creates imbalance in the subtle planes of existence and stress and strain 
are the result. War is still breaking out here and there like in Syria.

 

The Fairfield community has let the ball drop at the mercy of the TMO. It is 
time to act instead of claiming everything is perfect the way it is.

 

Therefore, I am asking that someone create a petition in Fairfield and get as 
many signatures as possible to have 1,000 women chanting the Vedas as soon as 
possible to create balance in the collective consciousness of the world.

 

Someone: Start a petition that can be handed over to the leaders of the TMO. If 
they don't want to do this than someone there with some money can find a way to 
start the training. 

 

And, the women do not have to be just from India.

 

Even if Mitt Romney does not pick a female VP and Hillary Clinton is still not 
by Barack’s side in this next election, the higher intelligence's of the 
universe will find a way to help bring in a softer energy. 

 

It is going to be a lot easier if she is invited to the dance. If she is not 
then hell could break loose over the next several months as the adjustments are 
being made from elsewhere than planet earth.

 

The upcoming dates of August 26th as well as September 18th (Uranus square 
Pluto) shows a lot of stress will be released.Mark these dates on your 
calendars. From August 17th through October 1st just about anything is possible 
to pry open the doors of ignorance. 

 

To allow a balance of male and female energies.

 

I am always available to talk as my phone is on the top of my webpage. 

 

Wishing everyone peace, joy, perfect health in your lives.

 

Sincerely,

Lou Valentino

Me too.


Let's please keep in mind though, that for some people this type of  
trauma can last many years or even a lifetime. A recent example, in  
the context of the TMO provides an example:

And what happens when da guru is? How would it differ? Impossible

babies and happy people. Life isn't like that Vaj, right?


Well hopefully it doesn't end in expulsion from college or whatever...

[FairfieldLife] Gullible Seeker Syndrome

2012-08-03 Thread turquoiseb
I'm going to chop out the specifics in your comments,
Vaj, and reply to them as the more generic statements
they are. This is *not* a TM-specific issue.

--- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Vaj  wrote:
>
> The key trick was "look at me, I'm an enlightened man"...

That's the "key trick" in almost all of these kinds of
situations. The trick works best on communities of seekers
in which no one ever seems to achieve the goal that they
espouse. When people have *heard about* enlightenment 
for many years but never experienced it themselves, and
in many cases never seen a living embodiment of it, they
become suckers for anyone who breezes into town wearing
Narcissistic Personality Disorder-induced charisma, and
just *believe* them. If you question them about it, the
conversation usually goes like this:

Me: So how do you know that this person was enlightened?
Them: Why, he (or she) said so, of course.
Me: But how do you know that he (she) was telling you
the truth?
Them: That's easy -- the enlightened never lie.
Me: But how do you know this to be true?
Them: Both my former teacher and my current one said so.
Me: But how do you know that the people saying this knew
what they were talking about?
Them: Because they were enlightened, silly.

Without ever showing anyone a legitimate example of them.

However, if the person is suffering from NPD and only *thinks*
that he or she is enlightened, they don't feel this sense of
responsibility. One of the primary symptoms of narcissism is
the inability to care for other people or feel responsibility
for them; narcissists only pretend to. 

> ...the problem is, 'what happens when da guru ain't 
> enlightened?' ;-)

Or not even close? 

The problem, as I see it, is gullibility. Seekers are 
in many cases so *desperate* for someone to tell them
what to do to realize their own enlightenment that they
will believe almost anyone who claims to be able to do
that. 

They hear sales pitches like "My method is the fastest
method ever devised for realizing enlightenment," and
it NEVER EVEN OCCURS TO THEM to ask the obvious 
question: "Oh yeah? Show me some of your students who 
have become enlightened as a result of doing what you 
told them."

I completely agree with your use of the terms "spiritual
pathologies" and "enablers."

My experience is that those who respond to narcissistic
charisma in one spiritual teacher will do so over and over
again, seemingly without learning a damned thing. And along
the way they'll vehemently deny that any of their decisions
to follow people they no longer consider good teachers were
flawed, or that the teachers themselves were flawed. They'll 
trot out the "enabler language," and say that they "made 
the right decision at the time," denying vehemently that
either they or the teacher in question ever made a Bad
Decision. 

A psychologist friend of mine points out that this is the 
narcissism speaking; the enablers are simply aping the mindset 
they saw in the teacher. They picked up the narcissism from 
them, and now act it out in the same ways they witnessed.

No he didn't. MIU expelled them. The students made their own decision to do 
whatever they did in relation to Robin and MIU. What caused the expulsion was a 
combination of MIU's policy and the student's decisions to do what they did to 
defy that policy. Robin was just incidental.

No Vaj, I was being ironic here implying a degree from MIU is not worth that

Again I have to disagree. If someone's wrong or incorrect in a perception whose 
fault is that? And who is to say they were wrong? Robin believed himself to 
have been enlightened and so did many others including me. Are you saying that 
you think Robin knew he wasn't enlightened the whole time and was pretending

Only MIU could expel people.


I think the key word you're missing is "caused". RWC did not expel  
these students, he was the cause of their expulsion.

inviolable faith that the person they put trust in was legit and

The word "young" makes my eyes water. And oh, what fun they had.  
I'll bet a degree from MIU was worth the risk.

not get degrees from MIU, they were expelled.


>How do you react when you hear someone extolling the virtues of

How tricked? Everyone is a free agent. These were intelligent,

is without "risk".


The key trick was "look at me, I'm an enlightened man" and based on  
that faulty information (from my POV) they preceded. I guess really  
the issue here is that they were part of an organisation that placed  
great emphasis on alleged "higher" states of consciousness and here

maturity of the guru, as he's taking responsibility for his students.

That " ..." implies so much here. Left to the reader's imagination.


Only if they don't ask or make inquiry.

Hopefully we would ask ourselves what benefit there was from it? Was  
it real? Did it represent a pathology of some sort in the guru or  
some form of direct seeing (of ultimate reality)?


If it wasn't real, what does that mean if we encounter similar

learned, or do we ignore what we've seen and not act in ways that are

Each person will respond very differently. For example one might

someone who never was, less so.

Poor Robert. Who has broken your balls? Just watch the power, the grace and the 
beauty of this dear boy...You don't get these kind of performances if the horse 
doesn't want to do it. A long time before they hit Grand Prix they would have

This is rather odd. I followed this link and then looked to the right column on 
youtube.com and the following video was listed at the top. You know the 
algorithm attempts to bring up similar videos to what one has selected. I am 
not making any comment here, but the question in my mind is what did the

Algorithms designed by Google tend to be dynamic, that is, the parameters 
change frequently, automatically, within specific ranges, so they do not always 
bring up the same things at different times,

Judy, I accept your analysis of this. Point on. Very clear. I retract my flawed 
argument about this. It is not always possible to discern what someone intends 
from what they say. It is *always* clear to them. What I think is always clear 
to 'me'. But when I put it out there, that is not the case.

A consistent topic of conversation among guys, usually

is women who dress in pink. The general consensus is 
that it's a color that just SCREAMS "I'm still a bratty
little girl" and that any woman over the age of six 
wearing that color is to be avoided like the plague.

It's considered by most guys I've met as the polar 
opposite of sexy, a virtual anaphrodisiac. Pink is the
saltpeter or bromide of the color spectrum.  :-)

Seems to me that the person who destroyed his *own* 
reputation was the guy who plunged his dick deep into
Judith Bourque and a number of other women.

If you're looking for a "tortured soul," it seems
to me that it would be the person who did this while 
claiming to be celibate.

Well, speaking only for myself, I'd say there are shades of pink that are less 
yucky than some others.  And also, I think the color pink, due to the "magic" 
of branding, etc. has come to be associated with the "fight" against breast 
cancer.

[FairfieldLife] Russia moves nuclear missiles into Cuba

2012-08-03 Thread Vaj


"In 2001 I, as the President of the Russian Federation and the  
supreme commander, deemed it advantageous to withdraw the radio- 
electronic center Lourdes from Cuba. In exchange for this, George  
Bush, the then U.S. president, has assured me that this decision  
would become the final confirmation that the Cold War was over and  
both of our states, getting rid of the relics of the Cold War, will  
start building a new relationship based on cooperation and  
transparency. In particular, Bush has convinced me that the U.S.  
missile defense system will never be deployed in Eastern Europe.


 The Russian Federation has fulfilled all terms of the agreement.  
And even more. I shut down not only the Cuban Lourdes but also Kamran  
in Vietnam. I shut them down because I gave my word of honor. I, like  
a man, has kept my word. What have the Americans done? The Americans  
are not responsible for their own words. It is no secret that in  
recent years, the U.S. created a buffer zone around Russia, involving  
in this process not only the countries of Central Europe, but also  
the Baltic states, Ukraine and the Caucasus. The only response to  
this could be an asymmetric expansion of the Russian military  
presence abroad, particularly in Cuba. In Cuba, there are convenient  
bays for our reconnaissance and warships, a network of the so-called  
"jump airfields." With the full consent of the Cuban leadership, on  
May 11 of this year, our country has not only resumed work in the  
electronic center of Lourdes, but also placed the latest mobile  
strategic NUCLEAR MISSILES (emphasis added) "Oak" on the island. They  
did not want to do it the amicable way, now let them deal with this,"  
Putin said."
