[FairfieldLife] a WONDERFUL formula
Forty-three years transcending through the lens of Saraswati(Knowledge of Nature), experience and understanding higher states of consciousness by the grace of Shankaracharya, a dose of stability and adventure, 3.5 grams dried psilocyben cubensis, two ounces lemon juice, a pinch of ginger in one shot and it ALL makes perfect sense! Five- plus hours of Transcendental awareness, unbounded, infinite, pure love ,compassion, mercy, empathy, spiritual in-site, joy and bliss. A *little* unorthodox? Yes, but what an experience! Dude, this must be Soma! P.S. my personal formula, do not try this at home... or any other place!

I was photographing the Boston Marathon just fifty feet from the first blast.

As we know, too many were even closer than I was and did not have the opportunity for safety. The discussion in the media now turns in the only direction it can, to what more can be done to make our lives more safe and secure? The solutions others seek are on the surface level of life. I can also speak from personal experience that this event was, and has been for years, secured to the highest level for a public event. As a photographer affiliated with a team of other photographers, I have had the responsibility of working with the main security director to get our photographers into secure zones to work. All levels of local and national security had been present. Yet, as we know all too well, only we have the technology of averting the danger which has not yet come. Now again it is time for us to be alert to our main focus for being in Fairfield, which is the the joy of being in the group program. When I returned to the domes, still somewhat shaken by my experience, I was relieved to be able to fly freely again and felt the intense bliss from this part of our program. In doing this, we give ourselves the most wonderful experience in life and at the same time make the lives of all others safer and better. What could be a better use of our time in this life and what could be more simple? Many years ago, Maharishi told our community that we would be successful in our obligation when three things were realized: that the USA and the Soviet Union would cease to be enemies and become friends, the Iran/Iraq War would end, and terrorism in the world would disappear. When he said this, all three seemed a long way off, yet two happened quickly. As last Monday reminded us, our obligation is not yet finished. There is still more of the effortless work to be done. Instead of feeling the heaviness of the weight of the turmoil in the world, we can fly in our own bliss and the turmoil will cease and our non-flying friends will feel the bliss as well. It is just a matter of commitment. It is time for us to re-commit, even to a few more programs a week. Perhaps some easy rearranging in our schedule could make a big difference in our own lives and the lives of those in our country.

It's such a cliche that comics and TV shows and movies do riffs on it. American cops pretty much = donuts. So while Boston panics and hides indoors from one Big Bad Terrorist and other business have been shut down by the city, what stores get to stay open? You guessed it. I like you Uncle Tantrum. However, sometimes you are a complete dick when you double down on previous statements. There are people experiencing fear. You are entitled to think of me as a dick if you want; it not bother me any more when you think it than when one of Judy's Minions thinks it. However, I take issue with your doubling down comment. I was NOT doubling down on my bet, that the Watertown shootout might turn out to have nothing to do with the Boston Marathon suspects; that was wrong, and I admitted it in my reply to the aptly-named Dr.Dumbass. What I then did was to tweak him a bit, doing a Judy on him, point- ing out that in his zeal to get me and prove me wrong, he had MADE UP A BUNCH OF SHIT about the article he cited. He made up at least three facts that were never mentioned in that article, and which were not facts. But my reason for replying was to double down on my orig- inal impetus for posting on this subject in the first place, and that's what I think you're reacting to. My point was then -- and is now -- twofold. First, that JohnR's title for this thread was DUMB, PANICKY, and DUMB again. Boston was not under terrorist attack. Some police were chasing *two guys*, who gave them trouble when cornered. This is NOT a terrorist attack. Second, and more important, what you describe as the people of Boston experiencing fear is my larger and more important point. THE FEAR IS MISPLACED. One's chances of being killed or injured by a terrorist in America are orders of magnitude smaller than one's chances of being struck by lightning TWICE. My point is that the American people, fueled and egged on by American media, not only react in fear to such events, they OVERREACT to them. This is *exactly* what the terrorists WANT. The whole *point* of terrorism is to...wait for it... inspire TERROR. It's to make people afraid to go about living their ordinary lives, and instead live in fear. Whan this happens, the terrorists WIN. (As an ironic aside, the word terrorism was coined in the English language by British journalists when reporting on the actions of ISRAELI extremists in the Irgun and Haganah who were planting bombs and killing not only British citizens but their own fellow Jewish citizens back during the run-up to the creating of the state of Israel. People tend to think nowadays that terrorism is associated with Arabs and Muslims, but that was not always the case. That said, Arabs realized the effectiveness of these terror tactics and first began practicing them against the French back in the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s, not only in North Africa, but in France itself. The trend con- tinues today. What does NOT continue is the targets of the terrorism *overreacting* to it and living their lives in fear. In France when there is a terrorist event, no one stays home from work. No one stops taking the Metro or buses. No one avoids crowds. No one changes their daily lives in any way, because they won't allow the terrorists to WIN. It's the same in the UK, used to dealing not only with Arab terrorism but Irish terrorism as well. The day after the Underground bombings, everyone went to work as usual, no one avoided the Underground, no one cowered fearfully in their homes, and they all just let the police do their jobs. Boston essentially shut down the whole city. The authorities who sanctioned this caused *billions* of dollars of losses to stores who could not open, businesses whose employees could not work, etc. And as it turned out, emptying the streets had nothing whatsoever to do with finding the last suspect. He was found fairly near to the area he fled, hiding in a boat or something like that. My point, if you still don't get it, is that AMERICANS MAKE THE BEST TARGETS FOR TERRORISM BECAUSE THEY OVERREACT THE MOST TO TERRORISM. They make the terrorists' job *easier* for them, by doing exactly what the terrorists expect them to do. They cower in their homes, they give up their civil liberties, and they LIVE IN TERROR. They are staying inside because it has been requested of them. By people who gave the two terrorists EXACTLY what they wanted -- a major disruption to the lives, peace of mind, and economic well-being of Boston. Apparently, 1 perp was killed, one captured, and one is being hunted. I don't remember the last part. The articles I've seen haven't

On a second meeting She had requested to come with him to Europe after his India-tour, a request Maharishi kindly refused. At that time quite a big crowd of female devotees was following Her whenever She went, so Maharishi probably thought of the logistics in having hundreds of guest coming to Seelisberg. Anyway, Ananda Mayi Ma became completely silent and followed him to the car holding a big bouqet of flowers. When his car started to move it was as if She could no longer contain Herself and with a huge scream covered his car with the flowers. Whenever Maharishi went to India, the first thing he did was to enquire about Her whereabouts and sent Her a big bouqet of roses. Her devotees report the event slightly differently, saying that MMY asked HER but she declined. BTW, people like to pretend that no-one ever acknowledged Maharishi's fellow monk, Swami Satananda Saraswati, as Shankaracharya of Jyotir Math, ,but here is what her official website says [Note that Swami Satananda Saraswati is the only Shankaracharya ever identified by name, suggesting a desire to clarify who they are talking about]: http://www.anandamayi.org/ashram/cc.htm 1962, 9th June,Dehradun Swami Santanandaji. Shankaracharaya of Jyotir Math comes to Ma and delivers lecture. 1963, May, Calcutta Birthday celebration in Agarpara Ashram, Swami Santananda Shankaracharaya, Joshi Math also attends. They even have a link to a page about Andana Mayi and MMY under the heading Meetings with Saints and Mahatmas: http://www.anandamayi.org/ashram/maheshyogi.htm http://www.anandamayi.org/ashram/maheshyogi.htm The story written here by Her devotees are pretty identical to what I wrote except She showered a basket full of flowers at Maharishi's lap when sitting in the car :-) This apparently happened the same day after he declined Her request for coming with him to Europe. From an unverified report: In 1981 during the Vedic Science course in Delhi, Maharishi sent a large group to the Taj Mahal for a visit. While in Agra, the group heard that the great saint Sri Ananda Mayee Ma was at her place in Vrindavan, which was on the route back to Delhi from Agra. Maharishi enthusiastically said the group should visit her and to take shawls, saris, fruits, garlands, sweets as our gift. The group arrived at twilight and meditated in a group outside her house while waiting for their chance to go up to the roof of the house where she gave darshan. While the group was waiting two giant white birds flew low over her house the celestial quality of the sight made everyone gasp. Dr. Bevan Morris asked the receptionist to inform Sri Ananda Mayee Ma that we were from Maharishi. But the group had to go up in sections of ten as the space was limited. Dr. Morris went up in the last group, and found that Sri Ananda Mayee Ma was sitting deeply withdrawn not paying attention to the people coming and going, and the pile of cloth, flowers, fruit etc. that had been placed in front of her. At that stage she was very elderly, and near the end of her Earth days. It was immediately obvious to Dr. Morris that she had not been told that this was Maharishi's group. He asked the administrator again to please tell Sri Ananda Mayee Ma that these people were sent by Maharishi to see her. The administrator began to speak to her in Bengali and at the point where he said Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Sri Ananda Mayee Ma suddenly sat bolt upright and folded her palms together, and then started grabbing fruits and flowers and wrapping them up in packages, and giving them to us to deliver to Maharishi. Then she gave a sublime message of devoted greeting and love to convey to Maharishi. The group upon reaching Delhi delivered this message to Maharishi's great joy. On another occasion Maharishi was doing Puja with Sri Ananda Mayee Ma at her place in Haridwar, but finally Maharishi had to go. He told Sri Ananda Mayee Ma, Ma you stay here and continue, and I will go. She seemed to agree and let him go, but after a few moments got up and followed Maharishi out to the car, walking a little behind him with the sweetness of a small child. There was a mala wala - a garland salesman - with a basket full to the brim with marigold garlands on the street there, and Sri Ananda

Two measures after the melody begins, an abrupt run up and down has exactly the same notes as the cadenza in movement 3 (Presto agitato) of that work. The climax on a six-four chord is similar in both pieces.[2] Also, the Fantaisie-Impromptu's middle part and the second movement of the Moonlight Sonata are in D-flat major. The first and third movements are in C-sharp minor. The piece uses many cross-rhythms (the right hand plays sixteenth notes against the left hand playing triplets) and a ceaselessly moving note figuration and is in cut time (2/2). The opening tempo is marked allegro agitato. The tempo changes to largo and later moderato cantabile when the key changes to D-flat major, the enharmonic equivalent of the more obscure tonic major key of C-sharp major, that is, the parallel major of C-sharp minor. The piece then changes to presto (although some versions of the score incorporate a coda, meaning that the original tempo of allegro agitato is repeated) where it continues in C-sharp minor as before. It concludes in an ambiguous fantasy-like ending, in a quiet and mysterious way, where the left hand replays the first few notes of the moderato section theme, while the right hand continues playing sixteenth notes (semiquavers). The piece resolves and gently ends on a C-sharp major rolled chord.

America is again asking why and what can we do to prevent another such attack? For me, this was not just another event at a distance. I was photographing the Boston Marathon just fifty feet from the first blast.

The discussion in the media now turns in the only direction it can, to what more can be done to make our lives more safe and secure? The solutions others seek are on the surface level of life. I can also speak from personal experience that this event was, and has been for years, secured to the highest level for a public event. As a photographer affiliated with a team of other photographers, I have had the responsibility of working with the main security director to get our photographers into secure zones to work. All levels of local and national security had been present. Yet, as we know all too well, only we have the technology of averting the danger which has not yet come. Now again it is time for us to be alert to our main focus for being in Fairfield, which is the the joy of being in the group program.

[FairfieldLife] Re: parsing a la FFL archives
authfriend: I'm going to put my gas mask on and use my last post to comment on this most recent pile of toxic garbage emitted by Share. Later tonight or tomorrow I'll deal with the piles she excreted on Wednesday. Ann, I think the posts are a record of what one has written. Hey, ya think, Share? I mean, I know you're just speculatin', but you might have a real insight there. Who'd-a thunk it, our posts may be a record of what we have written! IMO they and those who quote them present a limited picture of the truth. Sometimes those who *write* them present a limited picture of the truth. Or even a false and deceptive picture of the truth. And sometimes a person can make several posts that *contradict* each other in a way that demonstrates they were not telling the truth in one or more of the posts. Not only that, but a person who is fundamentally dishonest may post lists of platitudes about us humans and pretend they somehow excuse those untruths, instead of admitting to and apologizing for them. The more complete truth IMO about us humans contains these facts: we make mistakes, especially when we're emotionally upset we communicate hurtful words, especially when we're upset we forget what we've said, especially when we're upset we are different from each other in how we react during emotional upsets when we're less upset, we see events more clearly and express something different than we did before sometimes we learn from our mistakes and don't repeat them we differ from each other in how we see events largely due to what's sloshing around and electrically firing in the fat balls atop our bodies. General platitudes don't help you out here, Share, they just make you look like more of a hypocrite. At the very least, you need to explain how each platitude relates to the fact that at first you denied being upset, and four weeks later decided you had been terribly upset about having been psychologically raped. Was that accusation a mistake you made because you had been upset about *something else*? In that case, you need to apologize for the false accusation and explicitly retract it. I think Judy has a more legalistic view of the upsets between me and Robin. I think she wants to present evidence and declare me guilty and Robin a helpless victim. Robin is very far from helpless. Unfortunately that does not excuse the despicable way you've treated him, especially when we recall that the whole upset (that you denied was an upset until four weeks later) was a result of *your misunderstanding something entirely innocuous that he had said*. I think Judy would be a great prosecutor. However I think these events are better seen as failure of communication between two emotionally upset people. No, neither of you was upset at the time. You acknowledged merely feeling a little grumpy because you'd eaten too much sugar. Robin didn't get upset until you told him you were going to stop communicating with him several days later, even though you told him: As for what my feelings were, I didn't suffer or feel insulted. Nor did I think you were being hurtful or cruel. I simply did not want to pursue the theme of whether or not I was being the real me. Nor the theme of my alleged hyper positivity. Again, as we know, that theme was a misunderstanding *by you* of what Robin had said. And I think anyone who would choose Judy to be a mediator in such a situation, needs to have the fat ball atop their body examined! Don't assume that because what *you* have atop your body is a fat ball masquerading as a brain, it's also the case with everybody else. But that's obviously just due to the sloshing and firing in my own fat ball atop my own body. This I think we can all believe. Anyhoo, I'm aiming to have compassion for us all and our atop fat balls, especially when one FFLer with atop fat ball calls me a liar and corrupt. I'll imagine what must be occurring in the fat ball atop her body and hopefully I'll be compassionate at least some of the time. Don't bother. Your compassion is as false and corrupt as the rest of your toxic behavior. So, it's all about Share?

It's such a cliche that comics and TV shows and movies do riffs on it. American cops pretty much = donuts. So while Boston panics and hides indoors from one Big Bad Terrorist and other business have been shut down by the city, what stores get to stay open? You guessed it. I like you Uncle Tantrum. However, sometimes you are a complete dick when you double down on previous statements. There are people experiencing fear. You are entitled to think of me as a dick if you want; it not bother me any more when you think it than when one of Judy's Minions thinks it. However, I take issue with your doubling down comment. I was NOT doubling down on my bet, that the Watertown shootout might turn out to have nothing to do with the Boston Marathon suspects; that was wrong, and I admitted it in my reply to the aptly-named Dr.Dumbass. What I then did was to tweak him a bit, doing a Judy on him, point- ing out that in his zeal to get me and prove me wrong, he had MADE UP A BUNCH OF SHIT about the article he cited. He made up at least three facts that were never mentioned in that article, and which were not facts. But my reason for replying was to double down on my orig- inal impetus for posting on this subject in the first place, and that's what I think you're reacting to. My point was then -- and is now -- twofold. First, that JohnR's title for this thread was DUMB, PANICKY, and DUMB again. Boston was not under terrorist attack. Some police were chasing *two guys*, who gave them trouble when cornered. This is NOT a terrorist attack. Second, and more important, what you describe as the people of Boston experiencing fear is my larger and more important point. THE FEAR IS MISPLACED. One's chances of being killed or injured by a terrorist in America are orders of magnitude smaller than one's chances of being struck by lightning TWICE. My point is that the American people, fueled and egged on by American media, not only react in fear to such events, they OVERREACT to them. This is *exactly* what the terrorists WANT. The whole *point* of terrorism is to...wait for it... inspire TERROR. It's to make people afraid to go about living their ordinary lives, and instead live in fear. Whan this happens, the terrorists WIN. (As an ironic aside, the word terrorism was coined in the English language by British journalists when reporting on the actions of ISRAELI extremists in the Irgun and Haganah who were planting bombs and killing not only British citizens but their own fellow Jewish citizens back during the run-up to the creating of the state of Israel. People tend to think nowadays that terrorism is associated with Arabs and Muslims, but that was not always the case. That said, Arabs realized the effectiveness of these terror tactics and first began practicing them against the French back in the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s, not only in North Africa, but in France itself. The trend con- tinues today. What does NOT continue is the targets of the terrorism *overreacting* to it and living their lives in fear. In France when there is a terrorist event, no one stays home from work. No one stops taking the Metro or buses. No one avoids crowds. No one changes their daily lives in any way, because they won't allow the terrorists to WIN. It's the same in the UK, used to dealing not only with Arab terrorism but Irish terrorism as well. The day after the Underground bombings, everyone went to work as usual, no one avoided the Underground, no one cowered fearfully in their homes, and they all just let the police do their jobs. Boston essentially shut down the whole city. The authorities who sanctioned this caused *billions* of dollars of losses to stores who could not open, businesses whose employees could not work, etc. And as it turned out, emptying the streets had nothing whatsoever to do with finding the last suspect. He was found fairly near to the area he fled, hiding in a boat or something like that. My point, if you still don't get it, is that AMERICANS MAKE THE BEST TARGETS FOR TERRORISM BECAUSE THEY OVERREACT THE MOST TO TERRORISM. They make the terrorists' job *easier* for them, by doing exactly what the terrorists expect them to do. They cower in their homes, they give up their civil liberties, and they LIVE IN

In fact, now is the perfect time to try to pull the traitors in the GOP back in line and remind them of their oath of office. The actions of the Republican Senators who voted with the Democrats have been shameful, especially now that we know HOW the deal was struck. 16 Republicans crossed the aisle and voted with the Democrats to kill the Rand Paul-led filibuster and voted with them to curtail the Second Amendment. Here's the reason: Senator Mark Kirk (R-IL) says the Democrats liquored them up. We wish this were a joke, but Mr. Kirk told Roll Call that they were plied with liquor at ribald parties while on board a fancy yacht owned by Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) in order to reach a compromise deal to take away your gun rights. Esau gave up his birthright to Jacob over a bowl of pottage (soup). Sixteen Republicans tried to sell out our Second Amendment heritage after attending booze-soaked parties on a swanky, bikini-style yacht. But this fight over gun control isn't over - not by a long shot! _If we can convince 10 of these drunken sailors of the Republican Party to sober up and join the filibuster group, we can kill the Reid-Feinstein-Obama gun-grabbing bill when it is reintroduced!_ (https://prayfor.us/campaign-002/) Senator Kirk told reporters that the Democrats and Republicans would often meet on Senator Manchin's yacht, the Black Tie which was anchored in the National Harbor. (http://jury.emlnk.com/lt.php?s=31dd1aec72d4a9e18ddc3f926abf7b22i=460A494A11A4023) This is an image of Sen. Manchin's Bikini-Boat... your tax money in action In describing the negotiations Kirk said, Sometimes alcohol might be served and ties might... get loosened. Judging by the image of Senator Manchin's boat, pictured above, the ties were not the only things that were loose at these parties. Senator Manchin was surprised when reporters asked about his yacht's role in the gun-grabbing negotiations - but then he admitted it as well! Manchin said both Democrat and Republican Senators attended these parties to break the ice (and the Constitution). _Click here to see the list of the 16 Republican Senators who voted against the filibuster to preserve the Second Amendment._ (https://prayfor.us/campaign-002/) 31 Senators voted to sustain the filibuster when it came up for a vote. That means we only need to convince 10 more to join it - and this unconstitutional gun grab will be dead in the water when Harry Reid brings it back. We need to keep relentless pressure on these sellouts and shame them into doing the right thing. They need to defend the Constitution and our gun rights, rather than getting drunk with the Democrats and selling away our freedoms for a bottle of vodka. _Please send FaxGrams to these 16 Republican Senators today! Tell them to join the filibuster and preserve the Second Amendment!_ (https://prayfor.us/campaign-002/) All of our remaining freedoms hinge on winning this fight! (http://jury.emlnk.com/lt.php?s=31dd1aec72d4a9e18ddc3f926abf7b22i=460A494A11A4023) Remember, support for this filibuster started out with just 3 Senators: Rand Paul, Mike Lee and Ted Cruz. Now that number has grown to 31. If we get 10 of these sellout Republicans to sober up and join the constitutional American side of this fight we will have achieved victory! _That's why we need as many people as possible to send faxes to them as well!_ (https://prayfor.us/campaign-002/) You can help by sending this link to your family members, friends and acquaintances who are serious about preserving the Second Amendment: HTTPS://PrayFor.US/Campaign-002/ You can also help spread the word by sharing this message on your social media account.

During the first they simply sat on cushions on the floor holding hands, not saying a word. With the devotees sitting around them, he said it was the most beautiful event. On a second meeting She had requested to come with him to Europe after his India-tour, a request Maharishi kindly refused. At that time quite a big crowd of female devotees was following Her whenever She went, so Maharishi probably thought of the logistics in having hundreds of guest coming to Seelisberg. Anyway, Ananda Mayi Ma became completely silent and followed him to the car holding a big bouqet of flowers. When his car started to move it was as if She could no longer contain Herself and with a huge scream covered his car with the flowers. Whenever Maharishi went to India, the first thing he did was to enquire about Her whereabouts and sent Her a big bouqet of roses. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2aCc6i-TkM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vxSv-SdFA8playnext=1list=PL038E4AD987269E23 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVvW8iRtYnQlist=RD02Ou-CC9WxbZU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ou-CC9WxbZU http://www.anandamayi.org/

Or, we can just move on - your choice. Hi Ann, Good morning! Thank you for my birthday acknowledgement. Since we just heard from Raunchy a moment ago, there was an event sometime ago, where it was debated whether Ranchy owed, or did not owe, Sunshine Sal an apology for something. And of course no resolution was reached, and it went on for days and days. I am not looking for any apology. Whatever you felt or feel is your prerogative to feel. It does not change the facts whether you think one thing or the other. I just felt it incumbent on myself to straighten out a few misconceptions you were holding based on, I don't know what, because you certainly wouldn't have gleaned them from words written. As far as I am concerned, the whole subject, as it unfolded last summer, is over. So, no Ann, I really don't care to revisit those posts during the time we heard from LK and others. If I have been mistaken in my analysis, then I apologize, but from my side, I don't see any point in bringing those issues up again and trying to make a determination about them. Well, you brought them up, not me! And some of them were pretty incendiary so maybe think a bit more before you open up an old can of worms and start spouting theories that are not actually based on fact. Because when you, or anybody else, does that most people in my position would likely want to clarify a few misconceptions about what the other person is claiming.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Fwd: Jim Davis, From the Boston Marathon
Rich, your brain is well and truly fried - I made no and make no comments about the Boston Marathon bombings or subsequent events. The post was saying that there is still enough bad vibes or whatever you want to call it in the world to warrant a vigilant response from Yogic Flyers with the strong implication that if enough people do the TMSP in groups, such events will no longer occur and world peace will eventually result. My response was to point out that the amount of yogic group flying we have already had in the world has yet to impact local or world events in a manner that would lead anyone to believe group practice of TMSP will achieve anything towards such goals (except the true believers). I also, perhaps unnecessarily, pointed out that TMSP in groups existed from the beginning not to create world peace, but as a means of creating a financial flow for Massa Marshy (and to continue to encourage people to erroneously believe that he was capable of creating miracles for people) I in no way shape or form said, or even implied that the cause of the bombings in Boston were due to Massa Marshy's duplicity, or had anything to do with him or the TMO at all and it is unbelievably stupid even for you to claim that I did. I don't know who Dr. Pete is but if he is a head shrinker, maybe you need to schedule an appointment with him or else work on your reading comprehension. From: Richard J.

[?] Like, look at last week's top posters. Out of common courtesy anyone with any decency would have taken their personal bickering and conversation like that off-list between themselves privately. But say to protect the FFL list we proactively re-set the postings such that the top posters, say the top three (3) posters and send them to the bottom for the next week; of any one week that the preceding week's top three posters make only posts just as much as the bottom three posters of the preceding week here. Alex and Bhairitu could probably figure out some script to make it work. That works in keeping interest, improving and constantly re-enlivening soccer in Europe.

One's chances of being killed or injured by a terrorist in America are orders of magnitude smaller than one's chances of being struck by lightning TWICE. Totally bogus statistic.

(snip) Apparently, 1 perp was killed, one captured, and one is being hunted. I don't remember the last part. The articles I've seen haven't mentioned anyone still at large. There were many such reports. Law enforcement was checking out any number of leads to possible accomplices. They may still be doing so for all we know, just not announcing it. (snip) Apparently the perps were armed with grenades and other explosive devices. Now you're doing the same thing Dumbo...uh...I mean Jimbo did. In NO article have I see the word grenade. They had clumsy and cumbersome homemade explosive devices. Barry won't do this, but if he were to search for +Marathon bombing +Watertown +grenades he'd find many such articles. Yes, they ultimately turned out to be homemade grenades, among other explosive devices, but that wasn't clear for some time. What they threw out the car windows into the path of the police as they were being chased into Watertown were pipe bombs, not cumbersome at all. (snip) Yes they did. More important to the point I'm making, they caused BILLIONS OF DOLLARS of losses to the city of Boston, and caused MILLIONS OF PEOPLE to cower in their homes. Most people in Boston were not cowering in their homes, they were obeying orders from law enforcement. The cowering folks were mostly in Watertown, where the suspect was thought to be hiding following a ferocious gun battle with the police in their streets. And the cops found a number of explosive devices the two suspects had left on the streets of the neighborhood. The people of Watertown had good reason to cower inside as long as the suspect was on the loose in the area. Plus which, having people stay indoors made things a lot safer for the police, because if necessary they could shoot the suspect before he could shoot or throw explosives at them, without having to worry about civilians getting in the way. And according to Matthew Yglesias in Slate, the cost of the shutdown won't be anywhere near even $1 billion: http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2013/04/19/shutting_boston_down_won_t_cost_1_billion.html http://tinyurl.com/cv37tgd Bottom line, Barry was wrong in just about everything he's said, other than that John's thread title was dumb.

America is again asking why and what can we do to prevent another such attack? For me, this was not just another event at a distance. I was photographing the Boston Marathon just fifty feet from the first blast. Considering my life is dedicated to creating coherence and peace, I never expected to be so close to such an event, yet in the matter of an instant, I and those around me went from experiencing a joyful day celebrating personal achievement to running for safety. As we know, too many were even closer than I was and did not have the opportunity for safety. The discussion in the media now turns in the only direction it can, to what more can be done to make our lives more safe and secure? The solutions others seek are on the surface level of life. I can also speak from personal experience that this event was, and has been for years, secured to the highest level for a public event. As a photographer affiliated with a team of other photographers, I have had the responsibility of working with the main security director to get our photographers into secure zones to work. All levels of local and national security had been present. Yet, as we know all too well, only we have the technology of averting the danger which has not yet come. Now again it is time for us to be alert to our main focus for being in Fairfield, which is the the joy of being in the group program. When I returned to the domes, still somewhat shaken by my experience, I was relieved to be able to fly freely again and felt the intense bliss from this part of our program. In doing this, we give ourselves the most wonderful experience in life and at the same time make the lives of all others safer and better. What could be a better use of our time in this life and what could be more simple? Many years ago, Maharishi told our community that we would be successful in our obligation when three things were realized: that the USA and the Soviet Union would cease to be enemies and become friends, the Iran/Iraq War would end, and terrorism in the world would disappear. When he said this, all three seemed a long way off, yet two happened quickly. As last Monday reminded us, our obligation is not yet finished. There is still more of the effortless work to be done. Instead of feeling the heaviness of the weight of the turmoil in the world, we can fly in our own bliss and the turmoil will cease and our non-flying friends will feel the bliss as well. It is just a matter of commitment. It is time for us to re-commit, even to a few more programs a week. Perhaps some easy rearranging in our schedule could make a big difference in our own lives and the lives of those in our country. At the end of the movie Zorba the Greek, after experiencing much adversity, Zorba concludes that the best thing he can do is dance, and so he does in one of the most uplifting scenes in cinema. I hope in the coming days and weeks each person in our community takes time to experience the exceptional vibrant life of this community and, why not, dance. But most of all we should find time to FLY. Jai Guru Dev Jim Davis

Title of this post: Wasting time (I should be devoting to cleaning my kitchen and washing the pollen out of my clothes) by replying to the idiocy of Ricardo Williams: Richie says: You've got plenty of time to post about MMY but no comments on post the Boston Massacre in a thread about the Boston Marathon? Go figure. The thread was using the poster's presence at the Boston Marathon as a springboard for talking about how good it is to fly in groups and a call for action to all the flyers to fly in groups because the world is still a dangerous place, you stupid, stupid inattentive and apparently illiterate man. The majority of the post was about the world at large, not the specific events at the marathon, which were only voiced in the beginning paragraph, so yes, work on your reading comprehension. Richie says: You're the guy that mumbled nonsense gibberish to himself for years while trying to get a degree in English from MUM up in Iowa, but I have a reading comprehension problem? LoL! Evidently you have both memory and reading comprehension problems. At no time have I ever claimed to have been a student at MIU or to have sought an English degree. I was on kitchen service staff my entire 2 years at the place. You are either making up bullshit to amuse yourself or your obsessive belief that all the world's finest things came out from under a Buddhist stupa in the ancient past have warped your head. Richie says: Internally meditating on OM, or bouncing on foam, have nothing to do with the practice of 'TM', Boston, the Marathon, MMY, or the massacre. Again you have reading comprehension problems (at least). I said nothing about meditating on the mantra OM. I was making a facetious reference to the practice of TM by calling it omming internally. This, you see, is an analogy. An analogy is a literary device that helps to establish a relationship based on similarities between two concepts or ideas. It was also intended as irony. I will let others, if they choose to waste their time doing so, address the idea that bouncing on foam, i.e. - yogic flying, has nothing to do with TM or Massa Marshy the fraud. By the way, referring to yogic flying as bouncing on foam is called a simile, a literary device drawing parallels or comparisons between two unrelated and dissimilar things, people, beings, places and concepts. And since the yogic flying that some here actually believe in is in reality no more than bouncing on foam, it is irony as well.

And furthermore, seems to me the composers themselves didn't much appreciate those particular tunes! LoL! Composers usually select the key of a melody for it's color. The key of C# minor has a different color that C minor even though just a half step adjacent. The difference may not be very obvious t an untrained ear but it is to a musician. I also say usually as some music was written for less competent musicians or to be played more easily on certain instruments. That's why you have Bb blues tunes because then the key for trumpet and clarinet would be C. And there are keys that are more easily played on guitar than others so often rock and country pieces will be found to be in those more open string keys. BTW, for those who watched and listened to the Hans Zimmer piece I posted here a couple days ago, I was chatting about it to the local musican who was working in Hollywood and it turns out he worked for Hans.

America is again asking why and what can we do to prevent another such attack? For me, this was not just another event at a distance. I was photographing the Boston Marathon just fifty feet from the first blast. Considering my life is dedicated to creating coherence and peace, I never expected to be so close to such an event, yet in the matter of an instant, I and those around me went from experiencing a joyful day celebrating personal achievement to running for safety. As we know, too many were even closer than I was and did not have the opportunity for safety. The discussion in the media now turns in the only direction it can, to what more can be done to make our lives more safe and secure? The solutions others seek are on the surface level of life. I can also speak from personal experience that this event was, and has been for years, secured to the highest level for a public event. As a photographer affiliated with a team of other photographers, I have had the responsibility of working with the main security director to get our photographers into secure zones to work. All levels of local and national security had been present. Yet, as we know all too well, only we have the technology of averting the danger which has not yet come. Now again it is time for us to be alert to our main focus for being in Fairfield, which is the the joy of being in the group program. When I returned to the domes, still somewhat shaken by my experience, I was relieved to be able to fly freely again and felt the intense bliss from this part of our program. In doing this, we give ourselves the most wonderful experience in life and at the same time make the lives of all others safer and better. What could be a better use of our time in this life and what could be more simple? Many years ago, Maharishi told our community that we would be successful in our obligation when three things were realized: that the USA and the Soviet Union would cease to be enemies and become friends, the Iran/Iraq War would end, and terrorism in the world would disappear. When he said this, all three seemed a long way off, yet two happened quickly. As last Monday reminded us, our obligation is not yet finished. There is still more of the effortless work to be done. Instead of feeling the heaviness of the weight of the turmoil in the world, we can fly in our own bliss and the turmoil will cease and our non-flying friends will feel the bliss as well. It is just a matter of commitment. It is time for us to re-commit, even to a few more programs a week. Perhaps some easy rearranging in our schedule could make a big difference in our own lives and the lives of those in our country. At the end of the movie Zorba the Greek, after experiencing much adversity, Zorba concludes that the best thing he can do is dance, and so he does in one of the most uplifting scenes in cinema. I hope in the coming days and weeks each person in our community takes time to experience the exceptional vibrant life of this community and, why not, dance. But most of all we should find time to FLY. Jai Guru Dev Jim Davis

What I then did was to tweak him a bit, doing a Judy on him, point- ing out that in his zeal to get me and prove me wrong, he had MADE UP A BUNCH OF SHIT about the article he cited. He made up at least three facts that were never mentioned in that article, and which were not facts.

My point was then -- and is now -- twofold. First, that JohnR's title for this thread was DUMB, PANICKY, and DUMB again. Boston was not under terrorist attack. Some police were chasing *two guys*, who gave them trouble when cornered. This is NOT a terrorist attack. Barry, If Boston was not under attack, why did the FBI and a whole host of police get involved with the case. An interrogation of the captured suspect should reveal more of their intentions and associations. There might be other sleeper terrorist cells in the USA that we don't know about. It's time for a thorough investigation of this incident. JR

The human population and the foremen kings, now left on their own, began to fend for themselves. For some three thousand years, subsequently, we humans have been going through a traumatic transition to independence.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Post Count Sat 20-Apr-13 00:15:02 UTC
Ann, I've been working on this during Saturday morning, as I can. I do read your posts. Sometimes I skim longer posts no matter who the poster is. Anyway, I especially chortled at your quip about my fat ball working so good that you're calling it my mind. And my faith in humanity etc. was totally restored by your recent posts to Steve and your humorous but unmalicious comments to various peeps. Plus the wonderful exchange between you and Xeno. Now, about past posts as you discuss below, what to say? I think you also made some good points and were IMO writing in a balanced way which I appreciate a lot. But perhaps we should cut to the chase about my accusing Robin of psychological rape. BTW, did you notice that in a recent exchange with Curtis Robin himself used that term in relation to you? But maybe he was being ironic. I often can't tell. And did you see where Judy said to Steve that sometimes Robin pushes people so that they become more interesting to interact with? With reference to that, I would say that psychological rape is pushing WAY too much. And as I said last year, what I meant by psychological rape is that Robin continually and without equivocation, attributed thoughts and feelings to me that I wasn't having. That's still how I define psychological rape and I still think Robin was doing that then. OTOH I wish I hadn't got so upset with him then and also on Sept 6. I also wish that he had acted differently. I also wish that Judy had acted differently, and you and Emily and Ravi and RD. I now realize that we were all doing the best that we could. And I think you and Emily and I would act differently now because I've seen us do just that. I definitely don't think Judy would act differently. And I'm not sure if Robin would act differently. Questions: what do YOU think I should do at this point, especially given what you and Robin think about my apologies? And do you think any attempt at reconciliation should be done online or offline? Share Part of what Ann wrote in thread called parsing a la FFL archives: I agree that posts are a snapshot in time of a moment, an opinion, a reaction, an interaction, belief or emotion or a combination of the above. A post was/could be valid for whoever wrote it at the time they were writing. Posts are not something that need to haunt, condemn or limit us as human beings. We can change our minds, our views; our emotions come and go (as you state below). I think what I object to on occasion, and this applies generally, is when someone fails to admit that they did say something or were feeling a certain way as clearly evidenced by their thoughts in words in their writing. One can regret having written something or they can explain it or they can admit certain things or they can fight like crazy to try and make it seem like the post was somehow 'lying'. I am someone who likes others to be truthful about their motives or their opinions and to admit if these have changed or were, in fact, what they appeared to be at the time of their posting. If there was a misunderstanding between posters then work it out. I think 25% of what become arguments here are based on misunderstandings and not some malevolent intention by members here. snip I think Judy has a very clear and analytical mind. I would want her on my side if it came down to a court of law and I was on trial. But I don't think Judy believes Robin to have been helpless victim in your interaction.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Busboy, was Oh Jesus why do I do it?
they never could Barry, but I am afraid I must disagree that the smell of baking bread makes folks kinder and all - at least it was not that way at MIU - I was always stressed over trying to get everything done before 4 so as to have time to shower before program. Once when I was in there by myself and I was slammed with work, one of the cooks came in and wanted me to stop what I was doing to help him catch a cockroach (there were PLENTY of them) because he wanted to see if it was true that if you froze a cockroach solid and then thawed it out, it would come back to life. I stood there for a minute in disbelief that he was not only wanting me to do that when I had so much work to do, but he was actually hindering me from doing what I needed to do by standing in my way. I grabbed the high powered hose we used to clean the bakery table and floor and soaked him with water. He complained about it and I told him to be thankful I hadn't used hot water. Another time I had some temporary help on a day that we had bread, pizza dough for the cooks to use to make pizza and a labor intensive dessert. I had about 5 people helping me including two Japanese guys, Masamichi and Takashi. Takashi was a big sort of loud guy where Masamichi was very quiet and reserved. Takashi was supposed to be helping with dessert but he was mostly talking trash to this gal from Belgium. I said a couple times for them to stay on task and then as a joke I asked Masamichi to tell Takashi in formal Japanese Less talk, more work. After he did so, Takashi started yelling in Japanese and Masamishi turned red. Takashi kept going on and on and I asked Masamichi what he was saying. After a minute Masamichi said Ohhh, he is saying some very bad things in Japanese. There are many more stories about stress in the MIU bakery but if I tell them, I will be reviled by my enemies here as being the problem - it wasn't really my fault, I think all my problems came from listening to too much Jethro Tull while smoking too much dope back in high school.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Busboy, was Oh Jesus why do I do it?
I proposed that very thing to two different kitchen directors, David Earl and Brad O'Nash and was overruled by both - I don't remember what their thinking was. We usually baked 60 - 80 loaves every other day, and that would last that evening for supper, the next morning for breakfast, lunch and be gone by the time dinner was over, so no bread the morning of the next bread baking day. People complained about no toast, but the amounts and types of bread we made and the frequency with which we baked was set by the kitchen director. Desserts we made every day, except Sunday when the bakery was closed, or on the days we had ice cream from Great Midwestern. Remind me, were you there 85-87? Did I know you then?

Here is some more detail to help you along: 'As a superconductor in a magnetic field is cooled to the temperature at which it abruptly loses electrical resistance, all or part of the magnetic field within the material is expelled. Relatively weak magnetic fields are entirely repulsed from the interior of all superconductors except for a surface layer about one-millionth of an inch thick.

[FairfieldLife] Re: a WONDERFUL formula
So called mindfulness, as taught in the Western world, is an incomplete practice. In the Buddhist traditions (the original source lineage), the practice of mindfulness is preceded by the practice of jhana/dhyana-samaapatti. Having successfully mastered regular 2-3 hour absorptions in the deep states of vitarka/vichara/priti/sukha, a practitioner is then fit to practice mindfulness (smrityupashtaana). Because this deep meditation was not mastered first, many people with 30 years of vipassana practice are now wondering why this method doesn't give enlightenment as detailed in the Pali and Sanskrit Buddhist scriptures. Incomplete practice is the reason. If you only do mindfulness, you will indeed become more mindful but only on the surface level of the mind. Deep and abiding dhyana-samadhi is the prerequisite. Also, we have experienced death many times. If death is a samadhi, then where has the samadhi gone? We are still here ... searching for fullfilment. This ain't no realm of samadhi. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, sparaig wrote: Dunno about death, but the drug method seems to be temporary, and just because you have feelings that can be described a certain way, doesn't mean it's the real deal.

Not sure why you did it, there's no money in being a baker at MIU or most anywhere else. For what purpose did you want to bake for the TMO? Go figure.

Oh that. Well I know that you don't have the emotional IQ to follow it, or you wouldn't have set yourself up this way. So I'll write this for Robin. Robin, who kind of prides himself in being able to understand people deeply, and in fact elevates his personal opinions to being much more than that, to being able to detect who is more aligned with REALITY, is by your narrative... a hapless idiot who got played by an insincere and seemingly pathologically devious person in the context of hundreds of hours of conversations on FFL and in emails. In my version we were both sincere in enjoying each other's friendship in the beginning, until Robin decided that his judgements about me were more important to him than his friendship with me. And I am not really sure which of the many judgements he has laid on me since the falling out is the real reason, if there is only one, that caused him to make that choice. It is this area that you have been idiotically speculating about under the guise of catching me lying, while completely oblivious to the effect of your agenda on the very person you profess to shed tears for.

If anyone was interested in following our different points of view on this, it is all here. You are arguing with me about how I felt about someone else at different points of time, and my intentions toward them. You are an ill wisher and your take on my interaction with Robin is unflattering to both of us, because despite your show, you don't give a damn about him either. He is another expendable pawn in your get people routine. Curtis, read this carefully: Your fantasies about the nature of my relationship with Robin are just that, fantasies, wishful thinking. They always have been. As to my response to your post, you got busted--factually-- on quite a few of your major points. I would never expect you to admit this, and goodness knows there isn't any way you can refute it. But you know and I know that you fouled up big time. Some comments near the middle to end. (terasnip) Here's what I *am* addressing: 1. Curtis's lie that Robin was seriously warning him, in one of his very first posts to Curtis, that Curtis was not to question Robin's experience of Unity consciousness. He ended up being just as touchy about that as I had feared. He was a master of mixed messages and none of it is as easy to figure out as Judy's malicious reduction paints it. Let me say it another way: Curtis's lie that Robin was seriously warning him, in one of his very first posts to Curtis, that Curtis was not to question Robin's experience of Unity consciousness. Notice that Curtis's rejoinder does not relate to what I identified as a lie. 2. Curtis's even bigger lie that his relationship with Robin fell apart because Robin would not countenance Curtis's refusal to accept Robin's experience of Unity consciousness decades previously. Judy is painting my opinion about what the falling out was as a lie because she believes she really knows what no one can know. Malicious bullshit. Hand-waving. (Note for the excessively literal-minded: Robin does not consider himself enlightened *now* and thinks himself lucky not to be.) He is still very attached to the so called fact that he was actually enlightened. Yes, indeedy, he sure is. I never suggested otherwise. In fact, I do believe I made this very point myself. It supports his view that his cockamamie view of God today is based on a profound experience of reality. Has nothing to do with his experience of Unity consciousness. This is his post-enlightenment experience of reality. He has maintained some of the same epistemological issues that I object to in enlightened guys. No doubt. Has

Well, these guys' secret life finally got to be not-so-secret. You never really know people, not even your best friends. I may be the only person in America who has a certain sympathy for the younger brother, his hideous actions notwithstanding. From what I read, it was the older brother who was the psychopath, and I wonder whether this was a case of psychological dependence on the part of the younger brother. He idolized his brother, his elder by seven years, and could not say no to anything his brother wanted him to do. Relationships can be like that sometimes. That's just a guess, of course. But 19 is so young, and his thought processes are likely not very mature. Now he has done something so monstrous his life might as well be over. It might have been better for him had he been killed in the shoot-out. Now, if he is not executed, he will be locked up in some supermax where he will slowly go insane as a result of being kept in solitary confinement. Of course, he did this thing and now will reap the consequences, but it is such a waste of a life, one that appeared to have a lot of promise. In addition I realize that ever since I read the article about forced feeding in Gitmo, I don't believe the govt any more. And your mention of news stories that this one is burying. Bottom line, I don't think we'll ever know the whole truth about the bombing. So then it becomes a question of how to live with that, what to do about that. What do you think? Hope you found some more great artichoke globes (-: From: Bhairitu noozguru@...

[FairfieldLife] Re: a WONDERFUL formula
emptybill: ...we have experienced death many times. If death is a samadhi, then where has the samadhi gone? In fact, the word Samadhi seems to have been deliberately avoided, except in the case of the later Vedanta work, Vedantasara. There is no reference in the Upanishads to a meditation practice leading to the suspension of the faculties such as we find in the literature dealing with yoga. In the Hindu scriptures the word Samadhi first appears in the Maitrayni (6.18, 34), a late Upanishad. This text apparently recognizes five of the eight limbs of Patanjali's classical Ashtanga Yoga. It should be noted that there are over 200 Upanishads in the Vedic literature and all were composed after the Gautama Buddha's passing. It would seem that yogic practice entered into Upanishadic and Vedantic literature osmosis-like, a blending of Buddhist yogic and Upanishadic milieus. Samadhi: 1. Sanskrit (Saúmaúdhi) n. Jap., sanmai or zanmai 2. Nirvana, Parinirvana 3. from the root word 'Sam', to establish, make firm. 4. A conscious experience that lies beyond waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. 5. A non-meditative meditative mental equipoise.
