PS Your technique of starting off many of your posts with a negative disclaimer, reminds me of the joke we told in 8th grade, on how not to ask a girl for a date, Hi, you wouldn't want to go out with me, would you?. It is like you are apologizing, even before having shared the info. If you feel that tentative about it, perhaps keep it to yourself. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb no_reply@... wrote: Although it's probably not meaningful to anyone else, I thought I'd write a bit this morning about the song that greeted me as I stepped out of the shower. It's supposed to be the alarm sound on my iPhone, and wake me up at 7:30 every weekday morning so I can get up and have time to enjoy a leisurely cafe breakfast before heading into work. I chose it because quite literally it was the song already selected when I first set up the alarm in the first place, chosen by the iPhone itself from amongst dozens of other candidate songs. I thought that was kinda cosmic, so I left it. Little did I know it would be prophetic. The song is Bruce Cockburn's Five Fifty-One, a boppy blues number written about staying with his girlfriend in New York and finding himself getting up FAR too early, FAR too often. It was as if when the city began to wake up, so did he, whether he wanted to or not. Here's a live version of the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o01eIPEI98I Well, my choice of wake-up song proved prophetic, because I haven't needed it even once. I'm ALWAYS awake by the time it goes off, often already on the Metro or walking down a sidewalk or strolling along the Seine when its boppy beat catches my ear and starts me dancing. Maybe it's me getting older, maybe it's being in the vibe of a big city as opposed to a small one, maybe it's Paris itself, but I don't seem to be able to shake this up early thang. It doesn't matter how late I've stayed out the night before...I still wake up early. Not that this is a problem. At home in Leiden I often keep musicians' hours, like Bruce, staying up late and getting up as late as my dogs will allow me to. But here I simply can't, so it's opened up a whole new time window on the world for me, allowing me to see the people who are usually up and about at that hour. And that's new and interesting. Such a deal.

[FairfieldLife] Re: parsing a la Descartes was HITLER'S VALENTINE
* originally wrote earlier today, but had connectivity issues Hi Ann, Thank you for your concern about my work habits. In fact it was a fairly busy day, as are most days, and that is why I usually refrain from delving into FFL. But as an adult, and a business owner, I do allow myself some flexibility. In fact I have an early app't today, and so am rushing right now. And mercifully, this whole topic may have a chance to disappear for a little while, unless someone brings it up again in a little while. (that's good for a laugh) But dear Ann, since we are being direct here, I'll make some of my own observations. I recall early on how warmly you initially welcomed your friend Lord Knows, only to turn on him in a nasty way when he didn't adhere to your approved agenda on how we must now view RWC. Even to the point of outing his first name. That was pretty low IMO. And I must say, that I can't help but feel that Barry has scored a direct hit when he states that you (and others) listen only to RWC's words and ignore the intent and actions behind those works. RWC says I'm Reformed, and AWB says, PTL, when the rest of the world says, not so fast girlie The accusation of my giving favored posters a pass? Lookie in the mirror on that one Ann. That's an easy one. And perhaps finally, (and because I am out of time), you might want take a look at some of the comments directed your way as to whether you really have moved past those three and a half years of 8-10 hours of day of your time with Robin. I can't help but feel that you might be having trouble seeing things objectively even now. Oh, and kudos to taxi's points about how logic can take some funny turns depending on how it applied and what is filtered through it. On the other hand Annie, you've been posting some funny stuff, and I certainly appreciate that. That's 50 4 me.

The Persuasive Power of Uncertainty
When we started this research, we had the same hypothesis that a lot of people
would have, that being more certain would be generally better when you're
trying to persuade somebody or convince somebody to do something. And so, we
were originally thinking expressing confidence or certainty might be a solution
for people who lack credibility to gain influence. And so, we did some studies
to look into that possibility, and found that, in fact, under some conditions
it was having the exact opposite effect, that expressing certainty was
backfiring rather than giving you a persuasive advantage. Zak Tormola of

Got it, champ. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb no_reply@... wrote: I have a friend who has devoted his life to the spiritual quest, and to spiritual teaching -- although he has wisely avoided the trap of claiming to be either enlightened or a master -- who seems to be primarily inspired and uplifted by the extraordinary humans on planet Earth. That is, the people who he seems to regularly get off on are supposed saints and siddhas, living or dead, spiritual superheroes who have (equally supposedly) demonstrated what humans can be by attaining these supposedly lofty plateaus and abilities. Whatever floats yer boat, I guess. Color me underwhelmed. These people leave me cold and uninterested. Float through the air -- big whoop. Read people's minds and see the future -- equally unimpressive. Shit, *I* can do that from time to time. Experience enlightened states of mind -- been there, done that...I rate it as overrated. I get off on the Common People, those who seem to be finding a way to have a good time with Life, on a planet where that is not always a given. In Paris, I run into a lot of them. For example, the couple next to me at the cafe where I wrote last night's posts. He was a young student, obviously counting his centimes, but trying his best to impress the equally young student he was dating. She, from her side, recognized his economic status and gallantly didn't order the most expensive drinks or hors d'oeuvres on the menu. They sat there having a marvelous time, lost in each others' eyes, and possibly on the verge of une grande affaire. There was a joie de vivre there that I have found sadly *missing* from many of the supposed saints and siddhas and supposedly-highly-evolved beings I've come across on this planet. This couple had more fun in the thirty minutes I sat next to them than I ever saw most of the highly evolved guys and gals have over periods of months or years. Most of the saints and siddhas just took themselves so SERIOUSLY, man. How could anyone *possibly* have fun while doing that? The young couple next to me laughed a lot, and one of the reasons I'm writing about them is that they laughed at THEMSELVES a lot. (Yes, I was eavesdropping...so shoot me...they were just so cute.) There is a magic in that, a key that opens a doorway to pure joy. Those who cannot -- or will not -- laugh at themselves do not ever pass through that doorway. They may be able to hang ten in mid-air in the same way a brick doesn't, or read minds and see the future, but hey!...if they are doing all of this with an oh-so-serious scowl on their faces, what's the fuckin' point, eh? Give me Common People who have not lost their ability to find joy in the Little Things any day. Two glasses of the house wine (all the guy could afford), some good conversation, and this couple was in heaven, and possibly in love. What could be higher or more evolved than that?

[FairfieldLife] Re: Shaman, was Carlos Castaneda on shamans that eat fungi
Get some smarts, dumbass. If you *ever* read Carlos Castaneda, it must have been back during a period when you were seriously stoned, Well, yeah, I think that's the point, Barry, to eat the toadstools, not read books about them. Show me your fungus. So, let's sum up what we know about Carlos and his descriptions of 'Yaqui' shaman rituals and practices: The Yaqui Indians are related to the Siberian shamans who migrated from Eurasia bringing their rituals and practices with them. Shamanism, strictly speaking, means a guy intoxicated on either hemp, fungi, mushhrooms, cactus, tobacco, datura, jimsom, etc, or all of the above, which will produce the out of body experience - the main part of the original practice of Siberian pre-Aryan spiritual tradition. The imagery of initiation generally speaks of a transformation and the granting powers to transcend death and rebirth. Go figure. According to Mircea Eliade, ...such imagery often includes being transported to the spirit world and interacting with beings inhabiting the distant world of spirits, meeting a spiritual guide, being devoured by some being and emerging transformed, and/or being 'dismantled' and reassembled again, often with implanted amulets such as magical crystals. 'Shamanism: Archaic Techniques of Ecstasy' By Mircea Eliade Princeton University Press, 2004 Everyone knows that Castaneda and Rama got most of their ideas from reading books like the Bhagavad Gita and the Ramayana epic. Some of these ideas they wrote about are almost pure Buddhism and Hinduism. In the latter case, Rama got most of his stuff from Blavatsky. But, neither was apparently a real warrior. Go figure. turquoiseb: ...I will correct you. You are incorrect: Rama got almost all of his ideas from reading books like the Gita with his guru Sri Chinmoy: ...Master Fwap told me that most people who have been enlightened in their previous incarnations would normally begin to regain their past-life enlightenment-if they lived at sea level-at around the age of twenty-nine, when their astrological Saturn return took place. He said that living in or near sacred mountains, because of their beneficial auric influences, often made past-life returns happen even faster. 'Surfing the Himalayas: A Spiritual Adventure' by Frederick Lenz St. Martin's Press, 1997 NOTHING could be further from the truth that Castaneda based the stuff in his books on Indian scriptures or concepts. His Warrior's Way teaching really IS based more on Yaqui concepts that he admittedly might have stolen from real Mexican shamans. Well, I don't think so - it's all about shamanism, just like the SHAMANS in Asia. Where do you think the 'Indians' came from, Spain? Go figure. Everyone knows that the Toltec rituals described by Carlos are were gleaned from other literary sources that used Amanita, Peyote, and Datura. The Native Americans came from Eurasia! History of Native Americans in the United States: http://tinyurl.com/d4qvq83 But these concepts have almost nothing to do with Eastern teachings. The entire emphasis is on *Life In The Relative*, and living it as well and as successfully as possible. There is no concept of enlightenment, no concept of reincarnation, and above all no concept of renunciation or withdrawal from the world. It's a very, very, very pragmatic set of teachings, having to do with life here in the real world, and how to make that life work as successfully as possible. While there ARE concepts of saving and storing energy for the purposes of exploring different levels of life (Separate Realities, to use his term), there is NO sense of evolution or progress towards some Woo Woo goal of enlightenment or liberation as it is thought of in New Agey versions of Hindu and Eastern teachings (read TM). In his view, ya get out of life pretty much what you put into it -- no karma, no past-life influences, no astrological influences, certainly no S-V influences, and above all no gods, goddesses, or other beings whose asses you have to kiss to evolve or have nice things happen to you. Carlos's use of the term nagual comes from shamans in Asia who take the psychoactive substances and morph into other animal forms just, like in the Hindu Puranas, through magic rituals and incantations. Get some smarts, dumbass. If you *ever* read Carlos Castaneda, it must have been back during a period when you were seriously stoned, Well, yeah, I think that's the point, Barry, to eat the toadstools, not read books about them.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Two Explosions at the Boston Marathon Finish Line
This whole Boston thing is beginning to unwind and we may have something that resembles something like one of those British political thrillers. Pay attention that New York Times article on that non partisan independent review about the use of torture. The buzz on this started last week probably from leaks. It indicts the Clinton, Bush and Obama administration. It could very well result in the impeachment and prosecution of Obama as a war criminal. I heard of the rumors of this report as early as February. Of course this also ties in the with news item discussed here about the Gitmo detainees. The PDF of the review: http://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/684407/constitution-project-report-on-detainee-treatment.pdf Get your pitchforks and torches ready. I always remember what Tom Clancy said on his commentary for the movie Red October about our intelligence agencies and psyops: they aren't that good at it. I have both a microware and metal popcorn popper. The microware is the Nordicware and you can even put oil, butter or ghee in it or pop it dry. It does a very good job and less work to clean up. Nordicware has YouTube videos on how to use their products. I cook my artichokes in the microwave which takes about 6-7 minutes for a jumbo. Of course some folks believe microwaves destroy the nutritional value but others point out it is doing the same thing as far as moving molecules that any other cooking does. The US is in a whole heap of trouble. The rich lost at the hedge fund casino and now they are behaving like bandits and will rob us to make up their losses. We should not oblige at all even if that means the country goes down. Otherwise we will live under tyranny. Better to start over again.

Well Share , John informed us that there was some connection with Sun and Mars entering Aries and the Bombing in Boston and I thought *perhaps* that same connection would apply to the fertilizer plant that blew -up in West Texas last night. The only thing that happens if I go organic is, I pay a little more for food on top of the *little more* I'm already paying on a regular basis. I'm not sure that that is a *benefit* of going organic. As for the state of Texas paying eighty thousand per year to people wrongly convicted, I've read about it in the Houston Chronicle two or three times in the past year or two. One just recently( past couple of months) or so.

Most of the ones I buy are thru a local produce vendor I've known for many years. He can get me the Castroville goodies prolly 300 days a year if I'm willing to pay the price. The growers, in off season, just leave them on the stem and cut as orders come in so they are only about 3 or 4 days off the bush when they arrive. The flatter shaped, as opposed to the more elongated variety, while still referred to as globe, don't have the sharp thorn on each leaf but are not nearly as tender no matter how long you cook them. I never bother trimming the thorns. How do you like them prepared? I normally purchase and cook a case of 24 count size. They keep well for a few days in the fridge when the preparation is a simple 40 to 60 minute simmer in a water/vinegar/lemon/spice mixture. Then serve steamed or chilled. They never seem to last long for me as friends catch wind of a newly prepared batch and they fly out the fridge.

We've been with US Cellular for 15 or 16 years, they have the absolute best coverage out here, and I'm pretty sure they're the only ones in the area with 4G. And, as far as I know, the only phones that will connect to US Cellular's network are phones sold by US Cellular. Could I get a better deal in a cellphone from another network? Probably. Am I willing to give up the absolute best cellco in the area in order to do so?

The telecoms will list a phone like the Nexus at $700 to $800 when you can buy it from Google for $350. Yup, it's a lot of money up front but then you wind up paying less and can just switch companies if you want for better deals and/or coverage.

Those are almost too big for one person and usually split between too. Locally grown fresh off the farm. Very, very tasty! Two crops a year, right? Damn! I loves me an artichoke! I always find the spring harvest much more tender and more delicately and sublimely flavorful than those of the fall. They grow here in Arizona also, but not nearly as well as in your neck of the woods. Quite a beautiful ginormous blossom. I envy your access to the Castroville variety. There is a small farm carved out of some large agricultural land just a couple of miles from my home. I swear the Native American guy running the show sees me coming and raises the prices. grin Nice guy, very nice guy, but he could give the proverbial Armenian rug salesman lessons in negotiation. Most of the ones I buy are thru a local produce vendor I've known for many years. He can get me the Castroville goodies prolly 300 days a year if I'm willing to pay the price. The growers, in off season, just leave them on the stem and cut as orders come in so they are only about 3 or 4 days off the bush when they arrive. The flatter shaped, as opposed to the more elongated variety, while still referred to as globe, don't have the sharp thorn on each leaf but are not nearly as tender no matter how long you cook them. I never bother trimming the thorns. How do you like them prepared? I normally purchase and cook a case of 24 count size. They keep well for a few days in the fridge when the preparation is a simple 40 to 60 minute simmer in a water/vinegar/lemon/spice mixture. Then serve steamed or chilled. They never seem to last long for me as friends catch wind of a newly prepared batch and they fly out the fridge. Bastids. grin They must see the puncture wounds on my fingertips, begin salivating, and scheme a meal time visit. Yup, you would be envious at what I bought yesterday at the nearby supermarket. When I walked into the store on Tuesday I saw two big displays of these jumbo artichokes priced at $2.99 each. I figured that those were up because Weds they would go to a sale price which is $2 each. They're huge so I don't mind the price. And yes they are the round globe ones. Oh, soo good! Friends are arriving this afternoon so we may go get more. Seems the early crop is the best. As I said to Share, I microwave them tender in about 6 minutes with a 1000 watt microwave. I put a little water in the bottom. They don't come out much different from when you steam them for 30-40 minutes. Guess, I'm just impatient. ;-) To Alex: US Cellular doesn't have unlocked phones? Bet they do have no contract phones but you might save money on the phone buying it elsewhere and use one of their SIMS. I've had cellphones since the early 1990s starting with Cellular One which got bought by a baby Bell then became Cingular which was bought by ATT. Then Verizon to get an Android phone on contract (developer phones were out of stock). And finally this Google Nexus from Google Play with T-Mobile and their $30 a month plan with 5 GB 4G data. The Google phone has a lot of bands on it so you can use it with a variety of different carriers. Google also shoves out Android updates quickly to their phones. I got the latest 4.2 version a few days after release.

As that topic got beaten to death or perhaps the murkiness of years of Maharishi and movement revelations, I have noticed a content-independent Judy process at work here. What used to be a misguided but more understandable support FOR something, has devolved into pure contentiousness and ill will, attaching itself to the feeblest, contrived premises. And separated from the great causes of the past, I am seeing the person more clearly. It never WAS about Maharishi and TM was it? Curtis, it appears to be about 'now'. What is happening right at this very moment and those moments of the last few days. This is what has surfaced as the result of a very small comment on my part being blown and pumped so out of proportion and context. Sometimes these things happen. So far you and Barry (why is it always 'you and Barry'?) aren't dealing with it very well. But there is still time! Every minute provides an opportunity to figure it out better and to make better decisions. That's what I like about life - there is often a second and even third chance to get it right. Can you see what I just wrote as other than a personal attack? Try. I read this post this morning Xeno and am not sure how much I agree with it. So let me play with it a little as I go. I tend to start writing and work it out as I proceed. I am not sure what I am going to say here but upon first reading what you wrote I remember this morning feeling differently than you do about some of this. Let's see what I can come up: Human beings seem to have a great capacity for misunderstanding that is never resolved. People whose inner worlds are delusional, and this is most of the people on the planet, can never agree about what is true or right. Lots of big statements here about people. I agree that people have a great capacity for misunderstanding but don't agree that they can never agree about what is true or right. If you are talking about every single person on the planet then yes, the entire planet will never agree unanimously on any one thing. However, there are many things on which a majority of human beings in lots of different cultures and throughout history would form a similar consensus on. Example, most would probably agree that torturing a killing their newborn baby is not a good idea. When one is in a delusional state, there is little agreement. There are methods for reducing conflicted views. The main one that is rational is the scientific method. Here the subject under discussion is carefully defined, and there are ground rules for parsing information. Everything refers to observed facts that multiple observers can make or potentially make or have made. The relationship of these facts is then worked out by insight, trial and error, and plain hard work. The result is then again subjected to fact checking to see if really, the whole scheme is working out. When the subject has no observable facts, that is, the subject is metaphysical, there is no way to come to agreement which is why forcing compliance is a popular method here. Now take Judy, she refers to specific posts and quotations when she is arguing. But there seems to be an emotional undertone of interpretation about what a particular person is experiencing when they write. This is the grey area. We only directly know what we are experiencing, and even then we often misinterpret our own motives, let alone others. We use all sorts of methods to parse and predict what others mean and imply and are experiencing by referencing our own reactions to situations, but these methods are not always reliable. Judy seems to think she is very good at this, but as we can see from FFL, there is wide disagreement about her skills in this area. She thinks I am terrible at parsing human emotions and motives, etc., and in this case she may be right, i.e., correct in a factual sense, not in a moral sense (my view here is the universe has no moral qualities at all as a whole, but human beings have a moral sense or an ethical sense which they project onto the universe. On the subject of delusional or not, I think you are borrowing a rather Eastern definition of delusional if you mean most people are not enlightened and therefore living under some sort of delusion. Of course, one needs to believe in the very reality of such a state to agree with you or to believe

Mike, Yes, there is a connection of the planetary transits of the Sun and Mars in Aries to the Texas explosion as well a the Boston Marathon bombing.

If one were to make some sort of spiritual analogy to this, it would seem that if one could, with a sufficient amount of surrounding pure 'evil', negate all positivity generated in the domes, if in fact, positivity is generated in the domes. If we look at the goals of the World Plan, we see that none of these goals have been achieved during the past 58 years, and so can conclude that the spiritual analogue of the Meissner effect has been effectively neutralised. 1. Develop the full potential of the individual FAILED 2. Improve governmental achievements FAILED 3. Realize the highest ideal of education FAILED 4. Eliminate the problems of crime and all behavior that brings unhappiness to the family of man FAILED 5. Maximize the intelligent use of the environment FAILED 6. Bring fulfillment to the economic aspirations of individuals and society FAILED 7. Achieve the spiritual goals of mankind in this generation FAILED A few isolated successes here and there in achieving spiritual goals does not equate with success of the ambitious plan outlined above. The spiritual successes are the outliers in this business. Son,
[FairfieldLife] Mantras and Iron Filings?
I'm listening to this CD from a friend by Devarshi Stephen Hartman discussing the Gita. Early on he mentions that MMY had experiments done with folks chanting different mantras and that iron filings would move around and form the shapes of different mandalas, depending on the mantra chanted. Well, first of all my BS detector went off because I don't think this can actually happen. And secondly, it doesn't sound like an experiment MMY would have investigated since TM is more based on the silence and not the gross sound of mantras. Anyone heard anything along these lines before? I won't to give the CD back next week and explain that Mr. Hartman is confused or wrong.
