[FairfieldLife] Buffett's first tweet!

[card]

Buffett's first tweet yesterday (thursday)! :-)

[FairfieldLife] Om and sins?

[card]

Yoga-tattva-upanishad (yogatattvopaniSat):

63. Then [after learning to levitate and stuff] sitting in a secluded place, he 
should repeat Pranava (OM) with three Pluta-Matras* (or
prolonged intonation) for the destruction of his former sins.

*hrasva (short) for e.g. 'a' = a ('o' is always at least diirgha!)
diirgha (long) = aa
pluta (extended?)  = aaa? 3 plutas = a?? :D

Funny. That reminds me...what ever happened to our
one-time FFL member 'ysoy10li'? I always liked his
screen name. 

[FairfieldLife] SLP - Updated

[Ravi Chivukula]

"How vicious and violent of her to suggest that you, along with the rest of
us, aren't guaranteed another *hour*, let alone 30 years."

Hilarious - how Miss Sadie completely ignores the rest of Emily's message.

If she was going to address anything from Emily's message it would have
been references to her being the psychological sadist/rapist. Or Emily's
valid points of how Miss Sadie, being a woman grossly misused the word
"rape". Of course she could have ignored it and as is her pattern she did.

Her pattern when someone really goes after her is she sits on it for a
couple of days. Day 1, make a few posts - some phony shit or expressing
some titillation at some platitudes that make her come or her interest in
some latest fad or innocent questions on astrology, ayurveda or even if
it's something dumb - gotta keep the innocent, damsel-in-distress routine
going.

Anyway if she was going to address it I would have expected, from a normal,
sane person - a sincere yet strong rebuttal. Or hitting her back with irony
or even some phony behavior of hers where she thinks she has come up with
some cute joke.

Pathetic Sadie or was it passive-aggressiveness of yours - one of your 5P's
of the Share Long Paradigm? Or is this a new P - Psychological-sadism?

OMG - brilliant I may be but I think I missed this critical P. Here then is
the updated SLP of the SIX P's

*The Share Long Paradigm to avoid Reality*

1) *PHONY* behavior
2) *PARANOID* delusional fantasies around cults, religion
3) Love of *PLATITUDES *- platitudes the prescription to avoid reality
4) When stressed -  *PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVENESS*
5) When highly stressed - *PSYCHOLOGICAL-SADISM*
6) *PITTA-DERANGMENTS* - blame #4, #5 on Pitta and/or related things like
sugar

[FairfieldLife] Confessions of the Bumbling Retard Part 108

[Ravi Chivukula]

Thursday, May 2nd

Dear Diary,

God I feel so pathetic.

I really love Share and Curtis, I don't know why - I guess I took a fancy
to them. Is this my fault? My naivete and loyalty? In retrospect I should
never have.

It's painful to watch Ravi insult with so much creativity and intelligence.
That guy looks so cool - always relaxed, blissed out - yet to what to make
of his insults? God it hurts - it creates so much discomfort.

It makes me lash out. I have tried my best, by coming up with seemingly
good motivations for his behavior. He then completely deconstructs them and
I haven't had a answer.

He also posted on how my posts are so careless, friolous and reactive - I
had no answer. He said how my strength was quick, short, witty posts and
the only reason I was funny in the past was because then I had no agenda of
supporting anyone - that was so true.

He detailed the Share Long Paradigm, the one of 5 P's, he een called her a
vile, vindictive bitch, now he calls her a psychological rapist/sadist - I
had no answer for it.

He goes after my hero Curtis mocking him as the self-righteous, dishonest,
deceptive - the master of 7 layered deception. I don't have anything
intelligent to counter it.

I think I'm really a hoot. My behavior towards him is like a dog that loves
to hump whatever leg may be in its vicinity. I feel helpless - god help me.

Oh wait a second - forget all this. I think have a beautiful idea.

Doc, Actually you helped clear the air and bad blood in the land down there.  
You served well the long cause of equal rights.  I knew you there in your days 
there.  I recognized you in your adult age interview with Rick on BATGAP but 
did not place you until you started writing about your days at the TM Waverly, 
Mo. capital.  Some formative good ole times. -Buck

[FairfieldLife] Re: VI annual YFC!

[doctordumbass]

I remember Waverly, MO, pop. 473, in the late 70's, about 10 miles away from 
the emerging (and now defunct) Kansas City Capital of The Age of Enlightenment, 
and the closest actual town. 

There was a laundromat there, where we stuffed the washers and dryers full of 
our farm and construction clothes. A small grocery store across the street was 
on its last legs, displaying an old box of Wheaties from the sixties, in a very 
dusty window. Some guy in his nineties ran it, and it was always really hot and 
musty, and still, in there, and vaguely smelly. He didn't care if you bought 
anything, or not. The main street was about two feet below the sidewalk, from 
the horse and buggy days.

If you went the other way, left, out of the KCC Project, and took another left 
after a hundred yards, and went about another hundred yards down that road, 
past cornfields, you'd see an underground missile silo site on your right - 
Square, about 30 feet on a side, fenced and topped with razor wire, a level, 
gravel-covered lot, with two parallel metal tracks near the center, at ground 
level, ending at a large, grey metal hatch. There were signs on the fences, 
that deadly force was authorized against trespassers, courtesy USAF.  

The KCCP was in the middle of a whole nest of silos. We'd see the missile tubes 
being serviced sometimes, on our way to Higginsville, both to get our raw, 
organic milk from a dairy farmer there, but also to visit the new Walmart when 
it opened. Walmart! Whoo-hoo! Spending our $25 a month stipends like there was 
no tomorrow. 

All in all, a blast, and thankfully not a real one.

 This is a nice perspective piece on Fairfield.  It's judicious and not an 
uncommon view within meditating Fairfield,Iowa.  Lot of you people may have 
nothing to do with Fairfield or meditating anymore.  However I thot to shout

[Buck]

The truth is that many of us have a mixed history with the word "Christ". If 
we've been on a spiritual path for awhile, we might have outgrown a more 
dogmatic vision or dislike the way Christianity has treated other religions, or 
have issues with Christian denials of the validity of science.

[FairfieldLife] Tips for Avoiding GMO's

[Buck]

Everyone, even non-meditators should look at this:

http://www.nongmoshoppingguide.com/tips-for-avoiding-gmos.html


GMOs (see list). The eight GM food crops are Corn, Soybeans, Canola, 
Cottonseed, Sugar Beets, Hawaiian Papaya (most) and a small amount of Zucchini 
and Yellow Squash.

Dairy Products may be from cows injected with GM bovine growth hormone. Look 
for labels stating No rBGH, rBST, or artificial hormones.

Unless meat is fed organically it most likely is fed GMO corn, soy and now 
alfalfa hay.

Read food labels and ask for non-GMO food.

When meat is the source of food poisoning, it's usually from insufficiently 
cooked ground meat. With unground whole cuts of meat, any pathogens are on the 
surface of the meat and destroyed by the cooking. But, when meat is put through 
a grinder, any surface pathogens are distributed throughout the meat, and if 
the meat is not thoroughly cooked, food poisoning may result.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Synopsis

[seventhray27]

Hey, you know it sort of pains me to be negative on my last post of the
week.  Share, you realize of course that this particular disagreement 
(with Judy at least) has no end in sight.  But having said that, I will
let loose of a couple thoughts that have been brewing, deal with the
fallout, and then move on (hopefully).
Ann, I wanted to commend you on your fine sense of humor.  Having Steve,
Share and Barry provide the "whine" for the grand celebration dinner was
indeed a humorous barb. Although I must say that I think comedic
contributions are your strength.  Embracing accountability for what you
write, and grasping the difference between ideas and real life, not so
much.  But you know that I love you.

  Emily, truly you are a gracious person,and you have always been
gracious towards me.  I really appreciate that.  I may find myself at
odds with many of your observations, but I think you are a remarkable
woman and you often surprise me. I could listen for a long time to some
of your early adventures living as a homeless person and such.  Talk
about living on the edge.



Ravi, as always, you are such a hoot.  You remind me nothing so much as
a dog that loves to hump whatever leg may be in its vicinity.  Someone
misuses a word, and you go ahumpin'. Any post from Share or Curtis, or
Barry , or, or, or, (fill in the blank, although most every male) and
you go ahumpin'.  It's always fun to watch, so thank you for that.



Judy! Talk about "Skewered Curtis"!  My God, does someone have
it backwards!  But thank you for your posts, because even if I don't
read them the first go around, (which I don't), I certainly always enjoy
Curtis' replies. And yes, I concur with Curtis' evaluation that Robin is
onboard with that opinion, about who is getting skewered, (and it ain't
Curtis).



Anyway, my beloved Fairfield Life buddies.  Just wanted to give this
friendly send off as my last post of the week.



I'm off to the hockey game to see if our Blues can notch another win
against the Stanley Cup Champions.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: VI annual YFC!

[Bhairitu]

Where did I even say anything about vastu?  A little Boston PTSD 
skrewing your mind?  Just pointing out the obvious that the generation 
who embraced TM is getting old and passing on just like generations 
before.  And BTW, as I've said before the boomers even eating 
"nutritionally correct" may not live as long as the generation who grew 
up in the 1930s.  I have some theories on why.

As for vastu, I found most Indians didn't think it has as big of 
influence on the environment as MMY did.  I think it was hyped for the 
money angle.  I never saw much difference between relatives who spent 
most of their lives in homes that had east face entrances and those who 
had other entrances including south face.

You are a funny one Share. I told you that for me this subject was basically 
over. You will never retract your statement about PR. Now why are you 
continuing to prod me from the other side of the cage? I will get into this 
with you if that is what you actually want. Do you want me to Share, because so 
far I have been very reasonable and tame on this subject after you brought it 
up again about 9 days ago. You asked me what you should do. I told you. Things, 
for me, were civil. Now that I have moved on you are back with your stick. What 
do you want? Do you want to continue to bore people here with this or can I, at 
least, carry on?

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: VI annual YFC!

[Michael Jackson]

I didn't say they got sick and died DUE to living in a Marshy home, just that 
the claims for Marsh-Hee's vastu ved are nonsense and the proof is right there 
in Fairfield. 


So what of the businesses that are and were housed in Marshy vastu ved 
buildings that have gone belly up? Did they go south due to the proprietors 
being above age 60?

While responding to Judy's insanity with a Harry Potter
reference is appropriate, methinks you have chosen the 
wrong villain to compare her to. As I've said several 
times before, Judy is clearly Dolores Umbridge.

[Michael Jackson]

St. Joey in old Cupertino might have been able to actually levitate due to 
religious ecstasy, but he was the last one to do so - the yogic flyers 
certainly can't do it - I mean, people have been doing TMSP since 1974, and no 
one has actually levitated?

When Herbert Benson went to Tibet to meet with Buddhist monks who practiced 
levitation, he only found evidence of an athletic ability. The abbot in charge 
instructed the older monks not to participate because they were too frail.

As long as Yogic Flying is demonstrated at the "hopping like a frog" level, it 
is always going to be the younger ones who do better, regardless of which 
tradition you examine.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: J gets another fact wrong and S apologizes to R

[Share Long]

If you read what I wrote, Ann, I was not at all attributing the words to you.  
As I said, Robin used that phrase in reference to you.  When you were asked 
about that, you said you thought he was being both ironic and also 
acknowledging what you had gone through.  

Now how one can know that acknowledging refers back to Robin, is that it is a 
similar form to the word "being" which also refers back to Robin.  Robin was 
being ironic and acknowledging...

If it was referring back to you then it would have read:  Ann said she 
thought...and acknowledged...

Grammar lesson over.  Class dismissed!

Not acknowledging that I experienced "psychological rape", dear Share. Re-read 
that section again about what I wrote. He was, in my opinion, giving a small 
'nod' of recognition that I had gone through a lot but I never described or, 
indeed, would have ever thought of or used that term to describe what I 
experienced at the end of days for me around WTS.  Be very careful how you 
attribute words to others, in this case myself.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Synopsis

Madam, though we acknowledge that you are perfectly suited temperamentally for 
the position of Chief Archivist at the Dick Cheney Vice Presidential Library we 
regret to inform you that the position is already filled.  It was a VERY close 
race on so many levels.  However we have chosen Narcissa Malfoy for the 
following reason:

We know that Narcissa Malfoy would do anything to protect her son. We 
also know that she is a Black. The Black family hates Muggles and 
Mudbloods. We may not have seen Narcissa at her most evil just yet, but 
this villain still has a chance to show her true colors in book 7.

Judy has been through that store with a fine-toothed comb
and a microscope and has reported the manufacturer of the
products on the shelves to the authorities for false
advertising and counterfeiting, as well as unsanitary
conditions. (You would not believe the *smell* in that
store. I think it's from the rotten hypocrisy, although
there's so many different kinds of festering toxic waste
in there it's hard to tell.)

So you've got free shots at me, Share, until tomorrow night.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Un matin magique

Phooph, wonderful videos. The dragon faces and then the way they emerge out of 
the house is spectacularly surreal. The size of them, the look and sinewy-ness 
of their necks and the accompanying audio is all really cool. It is like a 
cross between horrific and magical and beautiful - some pretty key elements 
that make up what is riveting!

And the 'commercial' with the magician running through the streets (of Blois) 
until he gets to his house/museum of magic is fabulously produced. The music, 
the editing, the way they integrate the moments of magic and transformation 
along the route with various members of the public were really well done. I 
plan to attend the World Equestrian Games in Normandy in 2014 and will be 
visiting parts of France further south, namely those magic houses. Thanks for 
all that.

Thank God. For the briefest second I entertained the smallest beginning of a 
shred of doubt that the Maharishi effect was no longer whisking everyone's 
nether regions away to be returned only on the nights when a jyotish-approved 
conception was to take place.(before 10:00 pm lights out of course)

I don't really understand what the 'competition' is all about. Do the men 
compete against the men and do the women have a competition too? And do the men 
always outdistance the women? And do the younger always outdistance the older? 
If so, then it seems doubtful any of this is flying. It sounds like a 
competition of strength - pure and simple. I don't think the mechanics of 
pushing off a piece of foam with brute force and intention would be the same as 
having some other physical law that governs the ability of a human being to 
fly, even though they have no jet engine or feathers or leathery wings or wings 
like an insect, and therefore lift off is not governed by strength at all but 
by that mysterious force of nature that would allow (although not, seemingly, 
so far yet in the history of TM) a humanoid to lift spontaneously off the 
floor. In other words, I don't buy it; having this competition is sort of like 
a strange parody of what the siddhi is all
 about. I think it sort of demeans the whole thing although on another level I 
kind of like the fact that this event occurs because it is almost like a sort 
of self-imposed joke by the people who organize this. It is, in the end, an 
athletic event, IMVHO.
You’re right Ann. These competitions have been going on for over 30 years and 
Newtonian physics has never been violated in the slightest. It’s an Emperor’s 
New Clothes event. Bizarre even to the believers, but believe engines are 
running at full tilt in order to rationalize it. What is needed is for some 
innocent to proclaim “but they’re just using their muscles” and for everyone to 
wake up. Probably ain’t gonna happen any time soon.
 

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Getting Groovy at the Godless Church.

[Share Long]

Here's another load from Catholic upbringing:  back in those days a person made 
their first confession at the age of 7.  Often, when I didn't have anything to 
confess, I would say something like:  I stuck my tongue out zero times.  

Your parents do sound wonderful.  Dare I say, good karma!

I want to add that there was lots about the Catholic schools that I liked.  And 
strangely enough, I NEVER saw a student get hit, though I've heard stories.  


I really like the idea that we're all born scientists.  But maybe with a little 
more wonder than some grown up scientists have?

I also really like what you say about the word spiritual connoting the idea of 
some extra realm to be discovered.  But have to admit that the accompanying 
remarks remind me of GC and even UC (-:

Interesting. That's quite a load to put on someone methinks. I wasn't
even christened and so have no deep early programming to make me feel
part of any church but an indelible mark, that's heavy!

I hate it when I hear people say they were born Jewish or Muslim or
whatever because they weren't. We are all born scientists, curious
and open minded but the adult world seems to be in a race to beat
that out of us and as soon as we are set in our ways the poison gets
passed on. My parents were really cool about things like that
and it took me a long time to notice. I Should thank them for being
so irreligious but still very moral.

I don't like anything that sounds new-agey like seeker either,
because I'm not really. I used to be a determined "finder" as
I refered to having discovered TM but I'm a bit more agnostic now.

Same with spiritual as it it sounds like being involved in something
that isn't actually real in the sense that there is some sort of
extra realm to be discovered, when it seems to me that all I'm
doing is refining how I see this one. And even then I don't see how 
we ever see anything other than what our head machinery can cope
with in a mechanical sense and we've got evolution to thank for
that. I'm the most materialist meditator I ever met...

> How about devoted Earthling?

Like it. Sounds like an acceptance of reality with an intention
to make the most of what we've got.

That was great Ann thanks.

The second video has something interesting.  The questioner characterizes 
Dawkins as having a "no holds barred" approach to religion.  He responds that 
this is an exaggerated view caused by the history of religion getting such a 
free ride that any criticism is seen as more aggressive than it is. I can 
relate.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: VI annual YFC!

FWIW, I have never worn a sari in my life.  Friends, in misguided attempts to 
convert me, have GIVEN me saris!  And I did try one on because it was a 
beautiful shade of royal blue with gold trim, the blue making my eyes pop, as 
the beauticians say.  But really, it reminds one too much of one's previous 
life as a mummy ha ha.  And how the heck does one sit on foam in a sari?! 


Anyway, punjabis, now that's another whole matter, though I don't have one of 
those either.  Yet!  They are flowingly feminine and some are such beautiful 
colors and have beads, etc.  And they can be sexy depending on height of 
neckline.  Plus they are practical, meaning one could still flee or er apply 
one's knee to a feller's nether regions if he got too frisky.  So punjabis I'm 
guessing are great for setting boundaries if one is about to experience PhysR 
rather than PsyR or EmoR.  I'm just sayin.  


As for YF competition, I don't.  Why?  Because, at least back in the old days, 
one had to fly in lotus in order to compete.  I have never been able to fly in 
lotus.  Faulty hip sockets according to Dr. K in Kahoka.  Born with them.  
Don't even sit in lotus, he said.  So I don't.


As for mammaries and YF, of course bounciness depends on size of the girls, as 
they're called in thermography circles, and strength of muscle holding up all 
that fat.  Though will say that that muscle does seem to have gotten stronger 
over the decades.


As for impact friendly foam, I'd say the comfyness of foam depends on one's 
karma.  BTW, that's a little levity for the levitators as my Mom would say.  
Yes, karma and skill at finding foam that doesn't feel like a stack of bricks 
upon impact!

Well, women do a whole lot of things that can cause the boobs to cavort about, 
including riding a horse. However, even meditating women have heard of the 
'brassiere' and if things get a little wild in the mammary department they 
could always don a sports bra. So, I am not sure I buy the explanation of the 
impetuous breasts having a mind of their own while their owner bounces along on 
a piece of impact-friendly foam that would be the reason to exclude women from 
this otherwise equal-opportunity sport.

As for my intentions and heart, I'll let my words from Sept 6 and 9 speak 
for themselves.  That Robin then chose to bring our upset back onto FFL 
still baffles me.   Perhaps little fish enjoys, a bit too indulgently, 
flapping his gills and watching 
the resultant waves crashing.

As for Emily's posts, I don't see a lot of heart in them, especially when she 
wrote within a very belligerent post:  you think you have 30 good years left?  
Think again.  You might not have tomorrow...

And also still mired in Robin Fundamentalism, of course Judy's not buying it.  
But what she's really afraid to even go into the store about, is the 
possibility that Robin made mistakes too and was also at fault.

soothing drink and  taking it all in as just another interesting manifestation

 Raunchy simply waits for the perfect moment to add a little cayenne and

I don't really understand what the 'competition' is all about. Do the men
compete against the men and do the women have a competition too? And do the
men always outdistance the women? And do the younger always outdistance the
older? If so, then it seems doubtful any of this is flying. It sounds like a
competition of strength - pure and simple. I don't think the mechanics of
pushing off a piece of foam with brute force and intention would be the same
as having some other physical law that governs the ability of a human being
to fly, even though they have no jet engine or feathers or leathery wings or
wings like an insect, and therefore lift off is not governed by strength at
all but by that mysterious force of nature that would allow (although not,
seemingly, so far yet in the history of TM) a humanoid to lift spontaneously
off the floor. In other words, I don't buy it; having this competition is
sort of like a strange parody of what the siddhi is all about. I think it
sort of demeans the whole thing although on another level I kind of like the
fact that this event occurs because it is almost like a sort of self-imposed
joke by the people who organize this. It is, in the end, an athletic event,
IMVHO.

You're right Ann. These competitions have been going on for over 30 years
and Newtonian physics has never been violated in the slightest. It's an
Emperor's New Clothes event. Bizarre even to the believers, but believe
engines are running at full tilt in order to rationalize it. What is needed
is for some innocent to proclaim "but they're just using their muscles" and
for everyone to wake up. Probably ain't gonna happen any time soon.

TM fulfill it's goals!  How can you tell triumphalism from a sort of broad but

give lip-service to in the 1960's?

Just switch the ideas around and see if you accept them. Here we go Buck:

If you accept Jesus as your personal savior, and maintain all the necessary

your desired state of Brahman consciousness and life in the eternal limbo of 
the very poorly defined eternal future promised to you by Maharishi when you

Not so appealing is it?  Because in your heart of hearts you are dismissing all 
of the core theology of Christianity (pt, over here, keep it down, keep it 
down...it also is dismissing that OTHER one that, you know might kill us for 
saying this) and proclaiming that YOUR version of imagining how things REALLY

NOT the penultimate, but the underused but less flashy sounding ULTIMATE itself.

This is why secular people are suspicious of religious ideas. While there is a

underneath it is the presumed arrogance of absolute truth.  The kind of truth 
that humans totally suck at, and yet perversely, believe they are really,

You just threw your guru under the bus. Go figure.

Many people confuse the term 'mantra', that is, 
words used in the Sanskrit Vedas, with 'bija' 
mantra: non-semantic seed sounds used in the 
Tantras. 

TM uses bija mantras that come from the Sri Vidya 
tradition in South India, which was the tradition 
of SBS.

In original MMY TM there were two bija mantras: 
'Ram' and 'Shyam', according to what I've read. 
MMY later added the bija for Saraswati, 'Aing' 
and fourteen others. In more advanced techniques, 
words such as 'namah' were added, but in TM you 
get only one single bija mantra.

Bija 'mantras', by definition, have no semantic 
meaning - that's why they're called 'bija mantras' 
instead of being called 'words'. 

If the bijas were Sanskrit words, there would be 
no need for secrecy or a definition of them, 
since their meaning would be obvious to anyone 
who could read a Sanskrit lexicon.

So, let's review: in basic TM you get the single 
seed sound (bija) and the fertilizer, and you get 
the simple instructions for the correct angle to 
dive. You do NOT get two or three bijas. You only 
get one single bija mantra in TM initation.

It has already been established that at least two 
of the most sacred bija-mantras, out of the 
sixteen, contained in TM instruction and in the 
Sound Arya La Hari by the Adi Shankaracharya, are 
in fact, TM bija-mantras.

Now, if the Adi Shankara wrote the Sounda, then 
he must have included the sixteen bijas contained 
within, would he not? LoL!

[Buck]

However, there's also a deep, non-religious, radical truth at the core that we 
simply have to reclaim, which is that we ALL have the Christ energy within us 
as our higher spiritual potential. Even if we're a Buddhist. Or a Jew. Or a 
pagan.

Of course linguistically 'Christ' actually comes from the root meaning 
"anointed" and it's the part of us that is blessed, suffused, and permeated 
with divinity.

[FairfieldLife] Re: VI annual YFC! and tits

[doctordumbass]

The observers could miss the competition altogether. From the SF Chronicle, 
April 11:

Victim recalls assailant's breasts, little else

A woman intentionally rammed her car into a man's car while arguing over a 
parking spot in the Haight, but the victim was so focused on her low-cut dress 
that all he could describe to officers afterward were her breasts, San 
Francisco police said Thursday.

The woman drove away after hitting the man's car at Haight and Cole streets at 
5 p.m. Tuesday, said Park Station Officer Al Wu. The man couldn't tell officers 
what kind of car it was, let alone supply a license-plate number, but he "was 
able to give a detailed description of the suspect's cleavage," police said.

No one has been arrested.

[Buck]

We may not call it Christ because of the associations, but it's actually a 
higher octave of our true nature. It's the part of our being that is at one 
with The Divine The Unified Field of All Nature, that expresses unconditional 
love for all people and all things, and yes including those who harm us, that 
is pouring forth more soul into manifest form.

Re: [FairfieldLife] AHA REPORT: Transcendental Meditation (R) Lowers Blood Pressure

[Michael Jackson]

The AHA also gives two thumbs up to eating Subway food - and it only cost 
Subway $700,000 bucks - wonder how much the TMO paid to get the AHA grin of 
approval - read the Forbes article. Note the section I highlighted - its more 
likely the TMO is paying under the table than the AHA suddenly became 
enlightened about our dear TM.



Subway Meals Get American Heart Association Endorsement

The American Heart Association (AHA) announced today that it had initiated a 
new program that it claims will help people choose healthy meals at 
restaurants. The Subway restaurant chain will be the first to display 
the Heart-Check Meal Certification logo next to certain selected meals.

In a press release the AHA’s president, Gordon Tomaselli, said the program 
would make “it 
easy for consumers to make smart choices that are heart-healthy when 
eating outside the home, knowing they often don’t have the benefit of 
reviewing the nutrition facts.” The meal certification program is an 
expansion of the AHA’s Heart-Check Food Certification program, which was 
established in 1995.

Tomaselli told USA Today that certification can cost companies as much as 
$700,000 annually. ”But 
it’s not pay-to-play,” he told the paper. “The money is used to make 
sure what we’re telling the public is correct.”

The AHA certification logo will be displayed on Subway meals that 
meet the AHA’s nutritional criteria for levels of sodium, calories, 
cholesterol, saturated fat and trans-fats. But the new program does not 
mean that all meals certified by the program will necessarily be heart 
healthy, as noted on the Heart-Check Meal Certification webpage:
Is it still heart healthy to order my meal with mayonnaise or mustard?
>   * The standard SUBWAY® 6-inch sandwiches that are part of the AHA 
(adult) certified meal are prepared on 9-grain wheat bread and contain 
the following vegetables: lettuce, tomatoes, onions, green peppers and 
cucumbers.
>   * These sandwiches were evaluated without the addition of condiments 
> such as mustard or mayonnaise. Adding condiments containing sodium 
(such as mustard) or fat (such as mayonnaise) may result in the meal no 
longer meeting AHA meal criteria.
>   * Condiments such as mayo and mustard add saturated fat, sodium and 
cholesterol that can easily be avoided. These small choices throughout 
the day can help keep eating habits on track.
>   * Additions such as pickles, cheese, and olives also make the sandwich 
> less healthy.
>   * Considering the freshness of the bread and the flavor and 
juiciness provided by the vegetables, these sandwiches are tasty without the 
addition of other toppings or condiments.
Subway said that it had been an AHA supporter for 12 years. On the 
AHA website, Subway is listed as a member of the Industry Nutrition 
Advisory Panel (INAP). Here is the mission of the INAP, according to the AHA 
website:
The American Heart Association (AHA) Industry Nutrition 
Advisory Panel (INAP) is a strategic relationship between the 
AHA Nutrition Committee and food industry leaders. INAP provides a 
platform for sharing information and planning cooperative programs in 
the areas of diet and nutrition and cardiovascular disease.
INAP industry members pay a $10,000 yearly membership fee to 
participate in meetings with “science representatives” from the AHA and 
other industry members. Here is the AHA description of the benefits of 
membership:
The primary benefit of INAP is bringing together industry 
and science representatives to exchange dialogues on areas of mutual 
interest pertaining to nutrition. Benefits of this dialogue include:
>   * Networking and relationship building with industry leaders
>   * Education on relevant topics from the nutrition, physical activity, 
> metabolism and obesity areas
>   * Members get the latest updates on all AHA initiatives and are 
given the opportunity to provide input to the AHA regarding statements 
and positions on these topics
>   * Direct access to AHA staff involved in nutrition-related issues
>   * An organized relationship with the Nutrition Committee that allows 
> for open communication on topics of interest
>Members also receive one complimentary registration to 
attend the AHA’s spring science conference and council dinner 
coordinated by the Nutrition, Physical Activity and Metabolism Council 
(NPAM) and the Council on Epidemiology (EPI).
In addition to Subway, some of the other members of INAP are Uniliver, 
Coca-Cola, Dr. Pepper, Frito-Lay, Hershey, Kellog, Kraft, McDonald’s, Sara Lee, 
The Sugar Assocaition, Welch’s, and Yumi Brands (Taco Bell, KFC, Pizza Hut).

[FairfieldLife] Meditators are for Christ!

[Buck]

Christ's the dimension of us that is incarnating more Godliness into this 
planet, even if we don't believe in God.  It's Physics and it's Reality.  

Meditators for Christ!
By Christ!
Come to Meditation,
