The four levels of speech from tantric tradition are para (transcendent or nondual speech), pashyanti (the speech which is seen), madhyama (mental speech), vaikhari (spoken speech). In para, one just has to hang around a nondual realizer and they realize that that state transmits the potentiality for all answers without an intervening transfer. So the tension of question and answer just spontaneously resolves itself at that level. Thus a realizer radiating bodhichitta, the thought of enlightenment for all sentience tends to actualize realization in others merely by their presence, although this is not necessarily is limited by space/ distance or time.

They have a certain je ne sais quoi that makes my corpus callosum smile. Anyway, we agree that consciousness is also physical. And so maybe the physical is also consciousness.

For myself I do not think of consciousness as non-physical, since it seems to go away when certain physical parameters, say a bullet, change physical matter in certain ways. Many people believe in all sorts of non-physical stuff that is 'beyond' the world we know, and there are also hypothetical other universes, that could be physical, that we cannot travel to. Whether being or Being is non-physical is an interesting question to ask, as whether being is conscious or unconscious or preconscious, or even whether it is possible to meaninfully answer such a question. The LHC, in its now probable finding of the Higgs boson shows that excitation of the vacuum indicates that the vaccum, i.e., 'nothing' has physical properties. The idea of unity would support the concept that consciousness and being are physical; that is, there is nothing that is not being, that the only processes that know being are physical systems. The outlier here is self-realisation. While it is an experience to awaken, the experience is really a realisation of what experience is, a very peculiar state of identity when compared to other experiences, kind of like an eye seeing itself without a mirror. It cannot be adequately described, verbalised, and yet people have this happen. Yet the experience does not exist in any way outside of what has already passed before. Is it metaphysical? I am not sure the question is possible to ask. However, to simplify matters, if everything is physical, science can investigate everything. If not, then people who say there are things that cannot be physically investigated, we have no way to prove what they say is true, except on the level of personal trust. So if I try to sell you a bottle of magical health syrup imbued with the spirits of great physicians and meta-physicians of the past, and enlivened with pixie dust from Tinkerbell and the breath of Deepak Chopra for $180.00 for 4 ounces, will you trust me? Enlightenment, self-realisation, deals with a singular value of experience which for the sake of argument we could say is metaphysical, which automatically makes it impossible for science to investigate it directly, as science cannot investigate anything that is non-physical.

[FairfieldLife] ALEC: Lean Hungry Men
An economist, Dakinikat of Skydancing, writes a well-researched, impassioned piece about ALEC. She targets Dickensian creeps who want to get rid of state income taxes by raising sales taxes, which places more of the burden on the poor. The most quotable passages: The one thing that I've really noticed about these granny starvers is that they could all play the part of some creepy Shakespearean villain. Paul Ryan, Eric Cantor, Bobby Jindal, and Rick Scott look the original templates for those lean, hungry men. They also remind me of the creeps that show up in the Dickensian tales. ...actual results are the opposite of the ALEC claim. The more a state's policies mirrored the ALEC low-tax/regressive taxation/limited government agenda, the lower the median family income; this is true for every year from 2007 through 2011. . . . The relationship is not only negative each year, it also became worse over time: the better a state did on the ALEC Outlook Ranking, the more family income declined from 2007 to 2011. . . . The more a state followed the Alec-Laffer policies, the higher its poverty rate, every year from 2007 to 2011. What really makes this so shameful is that these Banana Republic-style agendas are being subsidized by Blue States. There are very few economically viable Red States in our country. They could not exist on their own as they are in worse shape than countries like Greece. They stymie policy at the national level and continue to subsidize their backward growth agendas with federal monies. However, they are not beyond complaining about government spending while sucking it in like a big ol' black hole. Will these results cause ALEC proponents to rethink? No. Libertarians would rather keep reaching into an empty hat for a theoretical rabbit than admit they are wrong. Even serial killer enthusiast Ayn Rand might have been honest enough to admit that the blue states are producer states while the red states are leech states. http://skydancingblog.com/2013/01/11/friday-reads-red-state-hell-realm-edition/

Definitely those who have been to Portland get the joke. Portland is VERY provincial and you find the kind of characters that Fred and Carrie imitate there. But at the same time there are characters like that throughout the country and gee. maybe even more like them in Holland. I definitely think we have some characters like them on FFL. :-D I have some friends who don't watch TV. You know the type. So when they visit as they did recently and I don't want to hear the same stories told me for the 200th time I find a comedy show they haven't seen to play for them. One previous visit it was The IT Crowd which had them rolling on the floor (they are former Microsoft employees). This last time it was Portlandia with the same effect. They had to immediately let friends who are from Portland know about the show and found those friends had been watching it since it debuted a couple years ago. I'm definitely looking forward to tonight's episode. But as long as we are on the subject of TV, I tried to watch the pilot episode of Deception which I found too formulaic to get much beyond 20 minutes. There are showrunners good at doing formula. Two of those shows on broadcast TV that I like are Supernatural, which actually had some elements of tantra in some episodes which made it a favorite of my late tantra teacher and CSI probably because Bruckheimer knows how to do formula well and pretty much keep it interesting. Another show, not exactly formula, is (or was) Last Resort. This one went places that probably is the real reason it got canceled than low ratings. That might be because Tom Clancy had some involvement. This is a show about a nuclear sub commander who refuses to launch a missile at Pakistan and instead sends it 200 miles off the coast of Washington DC. It's a show about conspiracies and the latest episode, last night, got a coupe d'etat in DC going to take over a rogue POTUS. Though watered down a bit for it's 8PM slot and didn't give Dichen Lachman a good enough role I found it compelling. There is one more episode before it winds up things in the finale. American corporations don't like the TV shows they sponsor to be too controversial. OTOH, FX's The Americans, about Cold War Russian spies in America might be interesting. Another non-favorite of Turqs is Girls which will debut it's second season along with Enlightenment Sunday night on HBO. Girls I like because it is brutally honest and funny about the millennial generation. And it looks like we'll see more of Chrs O'Dowd too. For Turq, another season of Californication starts Sunday along with Shameless on Showtime. Also, for those who didn't find a way to watch Turq's recommended Continuum, it debuts on Syfy Monday night. For me it will be a worthy rewatch and the second season will follow. Also another season of the US version of Being Human will start up on Syfy. Though I find the BBC version better this one still has it's moments. I've also heard some good things about a series that debuts on the CW February 19th called Cult. This from TV station folks who have seen the first two episodes. Stars Robert Knepper. For some reason it might resonate with folks on FFL. And as a postscript Netflix will be debuting new episodes of Arrested Development soon. Wonder if Stu was involved?

Share, It would help to be aware of what is happening to the world within your own consciousness.

As such, you will be better informed to make a decision as to who to vote for during election time. You do have the power at this time to choose who will represent you in Congress and the White House. We do have a lot at stake at this time since the USA has a national debt of $16 trillion. It is entirely possible that the eligibility for Social Security retirement will be raised to a higher age bracket. This could be done to defer payments to individuals and the SS funds invested in government bonds.

Meanwhile, Roundup's key ingredient glyphosate has ravaged the earth, our food chain, and our bodies, and is even causing infertility among the masses. Its effects haven't gone unnoticed. Purdue University professor emeritus Dr. Don Huber addressed the dangers of glyphosate to American and European officials in 2011. His concerns centered on an electron microscopic pathogen which appears to significantly impact the health of plants, animals, and probably human beings. In a letter to US Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, Huber added that preliminary experiments have reproduced the pathogen's link to miscarriages. Vilsack purportedly received Huber's letter and, despite the available mountain of evidence just one click away, encouraged of Huber submission of any data or studies in support of his concerns. Apparently, none of the scientific, published evidence of glyphosate-induced http://naturalsociety.com/7-nasty-effects-of-pesticides-in-food-exposur\ e/ infertility, sterility, birth defects, Parkinson's, obesity, superweeds http://naturalsociety.com/monsantos-roundup-superweeds-consuming-4-mill\ ion-hectares/ , and water pollution http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22101424 were convincing enough to keep the USDA from snuggling down next to Monsanto on a bed of dirty money just 11 days later. Despite Huber's explicit pleas to delay deregulation of Roundup Ready cropswhich would be, in his words, a calamitythe USDA went through with deregulation. This was neither the first nor would it be the last hand members of the government would join with dirty industries http://naturalsociety.com/monsantos-gmo-crops-ravage-us-usda-ignores-da\ ngers/ to the detriment of their own citizenry. Reuters http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/04/08/us-glyphosate-epa-idUSTRE7374\ WX20110408 reports on the myriad concerns raised by numerous members of the scientific and medical community, yet it is only in 2015 that the Environmental Protection Agency promises results for their research into the possible dangers of glyphosate and what, if any, role government should play in it. Seeing as the government has been front and center in support of Monsanto's environmentally disastrous antics, we hope to see matched enthusiasm in remedial measures for the environment and its people.

In her 7.7 years on Fairfield Life, Judy has made around 22,600 posts, an average of over eight posts a day. Of those posts, the number that contain either Barry OR Turq OR TurquoiseB, meaning that she was either talking about me or replying to something I posted or replying to something that someone else posted about me was 7,626 posts. That means that she's spent 33.74% of her entire history of posts on FFL obsessing about me. Nope...certainly no evidence of stalking there, eh? :-) Speaking of Fun With Statistics :-), here are some about a few of Judy's trainees in her ongoing course, called How To Become An Obsessed Cyberstalker. So far, Jim (doctordumbass) is winning, but Ann is a close second. The first number is the total number of posts they've made to FFL, at least under their current ID. The second is the number of those posts that contain Barry OR Turq OR TurquoiseB. The third number is the percentage of their overall posts that seem a tad...uh...obsessed (or at the very least overfocused) on Barry, just as their trainer intended them to be: Jim -- 330 posts / 181 mention me -- 54.8% Ann -- 1172 posts / 586 mention me -- 50% Ravi -- 2276 posts / 907 mention me -- 39.8% Emily -- 1805 posts / 683 mention me -- 37.8% Raunchy -- 3847 posts / 909 mention me -- 23.6%

I think the Segway is goofy also, but don't discount that it is fun to ride. I've never been on one, but, of course, with my experience as a Trikke rider, it's pretty easy for me to see what thrills they can get. Paltry thrills comparatively, but for some, genuine. I do things at 15 mph that scare me. Call me a wuss, but relatively speaking, I don't think my nervous system can produce much more in the way of a chemical basis for thrill, without it becoming too too. But, yeah, Segways are marginal at best -- way expensive and complex. And though I ride mostly my motorized Trikke that I customized, the speeds involved DO challenge me to stay on board, and that take a ton of fitness.

Paul's unique approach is a key element that may be used as a stand alone modality or complementary to other energy modalities. The Art of Neutrality is an integral part of the healing process, yet a missing element from most energy systems. Paul's ability to access this need is groundbreaking in the energy healing field. Paul teaches live classes, teleclasses, and conducts healing sessions globally. Paul's extensive studies of various healing arts include: Yuen Method, BodyTalk, Qigong, Chinese medicine, EFT, hypnotherapy, Reiki, Vortex Healing, ReleaseTechnique, Matrix Energetics, and other spiritual and mystical practices. I'm also reading a very funny book by Ellen DeGeneres.Â

She said there were all kinds of mystics around then and Germany had a disastrous economy so it was not hard to find marks.

I think on the hedgehog it is all those little pink toes and bellybutton that get me, plus how gently the person is holding it. Just as a warning to those who are drawn to photos of hedgehogs, and how cute they are and all, there is a *reason* that the person is holding it gently. I ran into a hedgehog once, in Paris of all places. It had gotten trapped on the wrong side of a busy street and was trying to make its way back to the park on the other side, during rush hour traffic. Knowing that he wasn't going to make it, I tried to help. It did what hedgehogs do when I tried to lift it, and rolled into a cute little ball, like the one in the photo has done. However, what I had failed to realize in my state of compassion-inspired helpfulness is that hedgehogs are basically tiny porcupines. That stuff that looks like cute, cuddly fur in the photo is really spines, and they are WAY sharp. Since there was no way I could pick him up and carry him, I finally got him across the street by coaxing him onto my laptop, and carrying it across. I put him down and he scampered away, but not without turning around and looking at me quizzically, as if to say, WTF was THAT? His expression made me LOL then, and again now, remembering it. Barry, to the rescue...a cat in the canal and now a hedgehog in the street. (I feel a poem coming on, but I'll spare you.) Nice story. Good job, old chap. How do hedgehogs make love? Very carefully. Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury,pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

It reminds me of all the many park trails I walked with my sweet Miniature Schnauzer, Dolly. I miss her. She was a fine little friend and great trail companion. She knew her way around town, barked like crazy whenever I drove past a park. If I didn't stop the car for a doggie run, she would stop barking, look wistfully back at the park and then disappointedly at me. Dogs have a wonderful way of conveying their feelings with their whole body, especially with ears and tails. Dolly didn't have much of a tail, it didn't wag, it twitched. Her ears were her most expressive feature. When her ears were straight up, alert and shaved after a grooming, if the sun hit them just right they became a lovely pink translucence. I got Dolly from a puppy mill in Nauvoo. Although she would have enjoyed the walk, I probably saved her from a life of helping Mormon missionaries proselytize door to door. Before driving from Fairfield to Nauvoo to pick out a puppy, I'd decided I wanted a miniature Schnauzer with uncropped ears. She was the only puppy in a litter of six that fit my criteria. Apparently, they didn't bother cropping her ears because she wasn't considered show dog quality and the breeders knocked $25 off her price. She was a little bigger and feisty than the others. She was the first one out of the puppy basket and onto the grass to pee. I fell in love and would have gotten her at any price.

Perhaps Share after fairly recently joining FFL, is simply trying to figure out the difference between Wright and Wong... Finding healers often seems to me to be an infatuation of those touched by the TMO (and other spiritual or new age movements). It always seems as if the basic tenets and technology of a movement never quite live up to the hype. And while physical healing is a matter of observation, most of the healing sought seems to be for psychosomatic reasons, and that means the operation of the placebo effect, which is a definite effect, but not an effect that lasts for long periods of time, so continual fixes are needed. Once the placebo effect wears off, the instigating belief and technology or pseudo-technology doesn't work any more, and so one has to then find another belief and its associated rigmarole to refuel the effect. Now the placebo effect does exist and has definite benefits, but it would seem a better tack to find something more substantial as far as the desired effects, something that does not depend entirely on the mental state of the person as regards anticipation of desired effects. Now some medications have this effect. Improving health and physical stamina through exercise can have this effect. Training oneself into different patterns of thinking can sometimes have this effect. Long term effects of meditation can have this effect (if you do not wing off into the loony bin first). A long term solution that does not depend on fickle belief is really necessary to avoid getting sucked into 'the healer of the week' mentality. There are guru junkies, healer junkies, food junkies; this is for lightweight anxiety-phoebes those who are not serious junkies, you know, heroin and alcohol etc., where you try to drown out the experiences you are having by really giving them a whack. The whole thrust of spiritual growth is to rid oneself of this state of always being in some kind of persistent low-grade emergency, and yet it seems to persist indefinitely in most seekers. Something must be wrong in the approach, understanding, or technology.

It might attract little old ladies that are a bit short of a six-pack as regards to spiritual understanding. I could make a video. Boy that would have people heading for the hills. My ancient Greek sort-of namesake (Zeno of Elea) might wonder which would get to the hills first - those that ran like tortoises or those that ran like hares? (And Share, if you read this particular post which was not addressed to you - there is a paradox for you, Achilles and the Tortoise, one of the best, which seems to be based on the tortoise and the hare story in Aesop's Fables, which were written about a century or so before Zeno took on investigating the nature of motion. [from Wikipedia] In the paradox of Achilles and the Tortoise, Achilles is in a footrace with the tortoise. Achilles allows the tortoise a head start of 100 metres, for example. If we suppose that each racer starts running at some constant speed (one very fast and one very slow), then after some finite time, Achilles will have run 100 metres, bringing him to the tortoise's starting point. During this time, the tortoise has run a much shorter distance, say, 10 metres. It will then take Achilles some further time to run that distance, by which time the tortoise will have advanced farther; and then more time still to reach this third point, while the tortoise moves ahead. Thus, whenever Achilles reaches somewhere the tortoise has been, he still has farther to go. Therefore, because there are an infinite number of points Achilles must reach where the tortoise has already been, he can never overtake the tortoise.)

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: MSAE graduate on youtube - the guy's probably sincere
Xeno not of Elea, the story of Achilles and the tortoise does not seem like a nice spiritual paradox to me. It seems like one of those horrid math questions on the SAT: If 2 trains are moving at different speeds away from each other and it's 10 am but then they each go into another time zone but not the same one, what time will it be when they each get to the other's destination.

[FairfieldLife] Culmination of Kumbabishekam, Gowthama Maharishi Temple, Tiruvannamalai
This is a temple on Arunachala's pradakshina route, where Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi would stop and meditate when doing Arunachala girivalam. This shows the actual Kumbabishekam, and the breathing life into the idol to bestow the soul of god. This is the last of a three-part series that provides an in-depth view of the ancient Hindu ceremony. Without this ceremony a Hindu temple would just be some building, rather that the place of the living God. http://richardarunachala.wordpress.com/2013/01/10/culmination-of-kumbabishekam-of-gowthama-maharishi-temple-in-tiruvannamalai/ I have tried to show this event in detail and provide detail on the process.

[FairfieldLife] dear everyone on FFL
During my Christmas vacation I realized that if I'm lucky, I have about 30 more years on this planet. I intend to use that time as juicily and joyfully as possible, and hopefully at the exact same time add to or at least support the enjoyment of others. As part of this, and perhaps some of you have noticed, I've decided to not reply to certain kinds of posts to me. I have felt so much better since beginning to do this. And FFL has seemed more fun too. As far as I'm concerned the new year is the time to begin anew and to drop conflicts from the past year. I'm so grateful because it seems that Judy and Ravi and I have begun anew. Maybe Raunchy and I a little bit too. I hope so. But Ann and Emily have continued at just about every opportunity to snipe nastily at me. They continue to have a confrontational tone towards me, even on the most mundane of topics. Weird! Plus they ignore it when I do post a positive reply to them. You would think that Ann with her full life and Emily with her running out of money situation would have better things to do with their time and energy and attention than to nastily carry a grudge against me into the new year. Plus their grudges began with an upset between me and Robin! So IMO there's something decidedly wacky about their carrying this grudge into the new year. And I won't be a part of it. I will continue to reply to them such as I have been doing. But I will not reply to any posts that are nasty, condescending, confrontational, snide, etc. In other words, grudgy! Who does such exchanges benefit? NO ONE! OTOH thank you to everyone who's made FFL so enjoyable during the holidays and even more recently. You all have shown me that it's possible to have great discussions and good humor without being nasty. love and hugs Share

I intend to use that time as juicily and joyfully as possible, and hopefully at the exact same time add to or at least support the enjoyment of others. As part of this, and perhaps some of you have noticed, I've decided to not reply to certain kinds of posts to me. I have felt so much better since beginning to do this. And FFL has seemed more fun too. As far as I'm concerned the new year is the time to begin anew and to drop conflicts from the past year. I'm so grateful because it seems that Judy and Ravi and I have begun anew. Maybe Raunchy and I a little bit too. I hope so. But Ann and Emily have continued at just about every opportunity to snipe nastily at me. They continue to have a confrontational tone towards me, even on the most mundane of topics. Weird! Plus they ignore it when I do post a positive reply to them. You would think that Ann with her full life and Emily with her running out of money situation would have better things to do with their time and energy and attention than to nastily carry a grudge against me into the new year. Plus their grudges began with an upset between me and Robin! So IMO there's something decidedly wacky about their carrying this grudge into the new year. And I won't be a part of it. I will continue to reply to them such as I have been doing. But I will not reply to any posts that are nasty, condescending, confrontational, snide, etc. In other words, grudgy! Who does such exchanges benefit? NO ONE! OTOH thank you to everyone who's made FFL so enjoyable during the holidays and even more recently. You all have shown me that it's possible to have great discussions and good humor without being nasty. love and hugs Share http://youtu.be/iLAic2uVlWo
