[FairfieldLife] A veritable *demonstration* of intellectual dishonesty
Now that we've managed to tweak the Judy Wind-Up Doll to the point that she's already pissed away a quarter of her posts for this coming week in the first four hours of the posting week :-), let's put her whole performance this past week into some perspective, shall we? What wound her up was me posting some FACTS -- in his own words -- about her fantasy boyfriend Robin Carlsen in response to Card's post of Clinton looking into the camera and telling the American public, I did NOT have sex with that woman. That struck me as a *perfect* parallel to what Robin did with the I did NOT strike my students routine that backfired on him so badly. Robin, trying to make Vaj's claims go away, homed in on a Judy Steinian nitpick and took advantage of the phrase during a seminar to deny that he had ever struck his students. In the course of doing this, he used phrases like, this is not something I would have done and I never once struck someone on stage. He was clearly using the nitpick of during a seminar to LIE, and claim he had *never* struck his students, using the same equivocal trick that Clinton was trying to use by relying on a subjective, self-serving definition of sex that did not include blowjobs to LIE about Monica Lewinsky. Judy Stein, self-appointed hall monitor of honesty on Fairfield Life, sees nothing wrong with this. And the thing is, Robin was even lying about THAT, the nitpick, as Judy herself admits in a later post. She says that Ann did not join Robin's cult until after the public seminars had started, but then says that *even she* witnessed Robin striking someone during one of them. So there is no *question* about it -- Robin was LYING. And to Judy Stein, that's just FINE. The only problem that she sees with any of this is that a few people on this forum are persecuting him by pointing out that he LIED. It seems to me that this exercise in making excuses for someone she's got a crush on has demonstrated once and for all WHO it is on this forum who exemplifies intellectual dishonesty. It's JUDY STEIN. She -- the person who has hurled the epithet LIAR! more times than anyone in the history of FFL -- is willing to defend someone who even *she* has to admit was LYING, just because she's got a crush on him. If that's not intellectual dishonesty, I don't know what is. Now we know why she can look into the camera and say, I did NOT comment on a film I had never seen and imply that if Barry says so, he's LYING. Same phenomenon -- intellectual dishonesty.

[FairfieldLife] The #1 Symptom of Narcissistic Personality Disorder
One of my good friends in Santa Fe was a psychiatrist who had, over the course of his career, treated many individuals suffering from Naricissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). When I met him, he had already given up on psychiatric treatment, having been convinced over the course of 20+ years that the condition was untreatable. But knowing of my interest in the subject (caused by having studied with at least two NPD spiritual teachers), he was willing to talk with me about his experiences back when he *was* treating NPD, and some of the conclusions he had drawn from those experiences. One of these conclusions seems relevant to recent events on FFL, so I'll rap about it a little. The symptom he spoke of as the #1 tip-off that he was dealing with someone with NPD was what he called blame displacement. To explain a bit, NPD sufferers live in an illusory/delusory world inside their own heads; they rarely, if ever, interact with reality as it is seen by other people. Subjectivity rules for the NPD individual, and they tend to sincerely believe that how they see the world *equates* to how the world is. So it is often a SHOCK to them when someone calls them on their own antisocial or unethical behavior. According to my friend the shrink, their *first* impulse at that point is to DENY it. They cannot accept that the view of them being proposed by this other person could be correct, because it contradicts their own internal, subjective view of themselves. Their *second* impulse is to attempt to SHIFT THE BLAME for these contradictory views of themselves. They call the person criticizing them or their behavior liars, and furthermore (and this is the tip-off) claim that the critic *does not even believe what they are saying*, and that they are *consciously* lying about them in an attempt to get them. Now think back to recent discussions about what Robin did when Vaj pointed out that Robin had struck his students. First he DENIED it vociferously, lying through his teeth the whole time. But second, he attempted to SHIFT THE BLAME, and portray Vaj as the Bad Guy In This Scenario, claiming that *he* was lying, and claiming furthermore than Vaj even knew that he was lying. Classic NPD behavior. Next, think about Judy Stein, and her well-established patterns on this forum. When faced with a critic -- someone who calls her on her behavior in a way that contradicts her internal view of who she is and what she's doing -- her first impulse is to DENY the behavior. But her second is *almost always* to attempt to SHIFT THE BLAME and claim that the critic is not only lying, but *consciously* lying, and doesn't really believe the thing he or she is saying about her. Again, classic NPD behavior. We really DO believe the things we say about you, Judy. Your inability to comprehend or accept this is based on your own disability -- Narcissistic Peronsality Disorder -- not on some superior insight or intuition or seeing.

[FairfieldLife] Re: A veritable *demonstration* of intellectual dishonesty
If we're going to discuss intellectual dishonesty, let's start with the fact that Barry has *no clue* about the nature of my personal relationship to Robin. Which means that when he attempts to characterize it as if he knows something about it, he is being intellectually dishonest. Not a good start, is it? Doesn't get any better, unfortunately. The next significant fact is that with regard to his FFL posts, Barry is a chronic liar--not just intellectually dishonest but factually dishonest, having made many, many seemingly factual statements that he knows to be false. The irony of the task Barry has undertaken here is immense. Now let's examine the dishonesty in what he goes on to say: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb no_reply@... wrote: Now that we've managed to tweak the Judy Wind-Up Doll to the point that she's already pissed away a quarter of her posts for this coming week in the first four hours of the posting week :-), Actually only four of my posts so far this posting week had to do with this topic, and only two of those were in response to Barry (in both cases correcting knowingly false statements of his). Pretty pathetic tweaking, if you ask me. What's got him so hysterical is that he's been unable to get away with any of his own false statements (some of which have been flat-out lies, others due to ignorance and/or carelessness). Bottom line, he's been a flop at portraying Robin as a villain. That's because it's an intellectually dishonest concept. He knows Robin *isn't* a villain. let's put her whole performance this past week into some perspective, shall we? What wound her up was me posting some FACTS -- in his own words -- about her fantasy boyfriend Robin Carlsen in response to Card's post of Clinton looking into the camera and telling the American public, I did NOT have sex with that woman. That struck me as a *perfect* parallel to what Robin did with the I did NOT strike my students routine that backfired on him so badly. No, sorry, you posted some false statements and some quotes that were out of context. I corrected you and provided the context you carefully left out, an intellectually dishonest omission. And as you know, from the start I characterized Robin's move as Clintonesque, so you can stop your dishonest pretense that somehow I objected to that comparison. Robin, trying to make Vaj's claims go away, homed in on a Judy Steinian nitpick and took advantage of the phrase during a seminar to deny that he had ever struck his students. He did not deny that he had ever struck his students. A lie from Barry. To Robin, there was a significant distinction between smacking confrontees on stage in front of an audience during a public seminar--which would have been exceptionally stupid just from a business perspective, let alone any others--and doing so in a private setting with a residential community of people he had been working closely and intensely with for some time. That is not a difficult distinction to understand. It's intellectually dishonest to claim it's of no significance. If you read his Open Letter, he explains why he felt trying to convey on FFL what went on in the private setting--which was highly esoteric, to say the least-- would have been futile. After all, Vaj was still carrying on a prolonged and sadistic jihad against him on a number of different fronts. Not a good environment, to say the least, for communicating something as complex and mysterious as what he detailed in his Open Letter. In the course of doing this, he used phrases like, this is not something I would have done and I never once struck someone on stage. He was clearly using the nitpick of during a seminar to LIE, and claim he had *never* struck his students, No, that isn't clear at all, sorry. That's your malign interpretation, and it's intellectually dishonest. As he said in the Open Letter, he knew it would have to come out eventually. He just didn't think it was the appropriate context at that point. using the same equivocal trick that Clinton was trying to use by relying on a subjective, self-serving definition of sex that did not include blowjobs to LIE about Monica Lewinsky. Similar tactic, different situation, different motivation. Judy Stein, self-appointed hall monitor of honesty on Fairfield Life, sees nothing wrong with this. Not true. I understood why he had done it, but I wasn't comfortable with the Clintonesque aspect. And the thing is, Robin was even lying about THAT, the nitpick, as Judy herself admits in a later post. And that's another lie from Barry. I never admitted that Robin lied, because I don't think he did lie. I don't know what happened onstage, and neither does Barry. Neither does Ann, for that matter. As I pointed out in another post, it's highly unlikely he would have lied about an incident he knew Ann would have witnessed. He isn't *stupid*. There has to be some other explanation.

I feel like a soccer fan shouting Score! :-) Light, crispy crust perfectly fried around a tasty morsel of fresh fish, served with acceptable fries, tartar sauce, and -- bless them! -- vinegar on the side, without me even having to ask for it. I must look English or something today. As for today, it's still overcast and slightly on the chilly side, at the end of June. I'm wearing a short-sleeved shirt, but many around me are wearing coats and sweaters. It's a gigantic leap to go from looking around the cafe at this to reading on the Net about the heat waves in the American Southwest. I wish them all well. Ten years ago I was here in Paris during the now-infamous canicule (heat wave) that killed hundreds of people in Europe. It was *intense*. High temperatures, but the killer (literally) was that it never cooled down -- not even at night -- for a couple of weeks. At that time of year, most of Paris is away on vacation. Many of the ones left behind are old, and don't have the money to travel. Their age made them susceptible to heatstroke and respiratory conditions, and many were placed in grave danger by the incessant heat. The doctors of Paris were *also* away on vacation during this period, but to their credit, when they heard about the temperatures, many of them left their families at their vacation homes and returned to Paris, because they knew what was going to happen, and wanted to be there to care for people. It has been estimated that if they hadn't done that, the number of deaths as a result of the canicule would have been several times higher than it was. But today it's cool, and so were the fish and chips. Life just rocks sometimes when you're easy to please. :-)

[FairfieldLife] It's all in the eyes
There is a woman in this cafe I have been unable to tear my gaze away from for several minutes now. It's *not* that I'm being lecherous, or that she is attractive (although she is). It's her eyes. I have seen those eyes staring down at me from my walls for almost 40 years. They're the eyes of a woman in the first piece of real art I ever bought. It's a lithograph from 1897 called Invocation de la Madone à l'onyx, by Marcel Lenoir. I first saw it in a gallery in Westwood when I worked for the TM Regional Office when it was still located at 1015 Gayley. I walked into the gallery one day at lunch, and this woman just stopped me into my tracks. I was transfixed. After I recovered somewhat, I asked the price. I was told it was $250, and at that time of my life, working full time for the TMO as I was, I realized that I couldn't afford it. But I bought it anyway. I talked the owner of the gallery into reserving it for me on layaway, paying for it in five monthly installments, all I could afford after rent and food. During that time it still hung on the gallery walls, and I went in several times a week to visit my lithograph. Ever since -- even though I've bought a great deal more expensive and theoretically impressive art in the meantime -- it's hung in my houses in a place of honor. It's one of the things I would grab and carry out with me if my house was on fire and I had to flee quickly. Yet in all this time I've never seen any woman in real life with eyes quite like that. Until today. The woman in question smokes, and has a boyfriend, but still...she has those eyes. Such a gift from the universe...
[FairfieldLife] Re: The #1 Symptom of Narcissistic Personality Disorder
--- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb no_reply@... wrote: One of my good friends in Santa Fe was a psychiatrist who had, over the course of his career, treated many individuals suffering from Naricissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). When I met him, he had already given up on psychiatric treatment, having been convinced over the course of 20+ years that the condition was untreatable. But knowing of my interest in the subject (caused by having studied with at least two NPD spiritual teachers), he was willing to talk with me about his experiences back when he *was* treating NPD, and some of the conclusions he had drawn from those experiences. One of these conclusions seems relevant to recent events on FFL, so I'll rap about it a little. The symptom he spoke of as the #1 tip-off that he was dealing with someone with NPD was what he called blame displacement. To explain a bit, NPD sufferers live in an illusory/delusory world inside their own heads; they rarely, if ever, interact with reality as it is seen by other people. Subjectivity rules for the NPD individual, and they tend to sincerely believe that how they see the world *equates* to how the world is. So it is often a SHOCK to them when someone calls them on their own antisocial or unethical behavior. According to my friend the shrink, their *first* impulse at that point is to DENY it. They cannot accept that the view of them being proposed by this other person could be correct, because it contradicts their own internal, subjective view of themselves. Their *second* impulse is to attempt to SHIFT THE BLAME for these contradictory views of themselves. They call the person criticizing them or their behavior liars, and furthermore (and this is the tip-off) claim that the critic *does not even believe what they are saying*, and that they are *consciously* lying about them in an attempt to get them. Now think back to recent discussions about what Robin did when Vaj pointed out (Barry means claimed.) that Robin had struck his students. First he DENIED it vociferously, lying through his teeth the whole time. He didn't lie. As he said: I did not deny something I knew was true. I denied what I was accused of. That's a fine distinction, but it's a valid one. But second, he attempted to SHIFT THE BLAME, and portray Vaj as the Bad Guy In This Scenario, claiming that *he* was lying, and claiming furthermore than Vaj even knew that he was lying. Classic NPD behavior. Unfortunately, Barry, nobody who has read Robin's many posts here taking full blame for his misdeeds 30-some years ago is going to fall for this. Robin has very consistently portrayed himself as the Bad Guy in That Scenario, including in his Open Letter. That he resists taking the blame for something of which he feels he isn't guilty doesn't make him a narcissist. That's just not the way it works. If he claimed Vaj was lying, it was because he was convinced Vaj was lying. Vaj lied *routinely* on FFL, as well as being exceptionally abusive. He lied about me many times. He even lied about Ann, privately to you, and you got into hot water with Ann when you believed him and repeated his lie on FFL. Next, think about Judy Stein, and her well-established patterns on this forum. When faced with a critic -- someone who calls her on her behavior in a way that contradicts her internal view of who she is and what she's doing -- her first impulse is to DENY the behavior. But her second is *almost always* to attempt to SHIFT THE BLAME and claim that the critic is not only lying, but *consciously* lying, and doesn't really believe the thing he or she is saying about her. Again, classic NPD behavior. We really DO believe the things we say about you, Judy. No, you don't, Barry. You don't even believe what you've just written (and appropriately so). Your inability to comprehend or accept this is based on your own disability -- Narcissistic Peronsality Disorder -- not on some superior insight or intuition or seeing. Plain old deductive reasoning. You cannot accept that we *really* see you this way because it so strongly contradicts your view of yourself. This is called Narcissism. It's called Barry Hates Judy and Will Say Anything He Can Think of to Get Her, even when he doesn't believe it himself. Barry, you're projecting. Pretty ironic that you try to project your own flaming narcissism onto others. (Is that the editorial or the royal we, by the way? Or maybe the MPD we? Curious minds want to know.) *Six and a half years* after you made your Mel Gibson, Christian bigot post, you *still* cannot bring yourself to say, OK, I did it. I commented on a film I'd never seen. You *still* have to equivocate, and pretend not only that it never happened, but that Barry is lying about it happening. It happened.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Das State has its eyes on Bhairitu
Happy Birthday. Did you find White House Down to be more of a satire? Some folks say it comes off that way. I saw Olympus Has Fallen a couple months back. I watched The Last Exorcism Part II on BD last night. Sony is the distributor so the disc wasn't rental and had the Special Features on it so listened to the commentary which was interesting. Makes for a long night. Rated PG-13 but probably not for Buck.

I've got a portable unit here in the computer room. I'm waiting for a helicopter to fly by to see if it shows up on the FlightRadar24 app. It's been fun seeing whose private jet is flying out of Buchanan. Now I can keep tabs on the 1%. There was a copter flying around yesterday before I got the app but couldn't tell if it was the Regional Parks Police helicopter or channel 7 (both look about the same). The local police and county sheriff don't have a helicopter anymore so it seems they share use of the Parks one since they need one to patrol the large regional parks we have around here. The park police missed some ticket writing last weekend as I ran into several OOs who were walking their dogs even off leash in the game preserve ($300 ticket per dog). The rest of the waterfront park is open to dog (on leash only) so why they walk them there is curious and I often ask. The rest of the park is about 3 times that preserve area.

Re: [FairfieldLife] A true culinary find in Paris
Was 101 here and I ran the AC in the evening. It still works. I wanted to replace it as it is probably over 30 years old GE but the neighbors think there's is even older but working. I wanted to replace it with a quieter unit but most of the stores only have window not through the wall. However some of the installer blogs say they can make some of the window units work as through the wall. Around here though the installers seen to only want to do central air. I looked into it but with the required electrical upgrade was $5000. The place is prepped for it and I asked the original owner why she didn't put it in and she said it wasn't worth it because it only got really hot a few days out of the year and the wall unit was sufficient. I have a Soleus portable in this room which I run if it gets too hot. It's a Spare the Air Day but I'm still driving to the waterfront park for a walk which may have a cool breeze off the water. People hate these Spare the Air Days around here because it's a perfect day to BBQ and they can't. And Saturdays you get these gardening crews coming around as they will be in this neighborhood running movers and blowers which aren't supposed to be run either. But what can they do? People want them there on Saturday when they're home not during the week. If the BART workers strike on Monday then the Bay Area might look like Mumbai by the end of day.

High temperatures, but the killer (literally) was that it never cooled down -- not even at night -- for a couple of weeks. At that time of year, most of Paris is away on vacation. Many of the ones left behind are old, and don't have the money to travel. Their age made them susceptible to heatstroke and respiratory conditions, and many were placed in grave danger by the incessant heat. The doctors of Paris were *also* away on vacation during this period, but to their credit, when they heard about the temperatures, many of them left their families at their vacation homes and returned to Paris, because they knew what was going to happen, and wanted to be there to care for people. It has been estimated that if they hadn't done that, the number of deaths as a result of the canicule would have been several times higher than it was. But today it's cool, and so were the fish and chips. Life just rocks sometimes when you're easy to please. :-)

And barely recognizable as the chord progression to Happy Birthday to avoid royalty payments to competitor Warner.

The longer terms are just corporate silliness getting out of hand. We like to refer to the DMCA as the Mickey Mouse Law since Disney lobbied for it because Mickey was falling out of copyright (though protected by trademark) and they wanted to keep selling you their old cartoons. Today it is used to keep the Prison Industrial Complex in business with the aid of the NSA by putting away people for downloading a song or video for longer than many get for armed robbery.

No, not here on FFL. I think that position has been filled with the current four suckups. But in Paris, on opening night, Despicable Me 2 was great. The theater was full of laughing bilingual French kids. (It was shown in VOST, which means version originale, sous-titré, but I assume most of the kids were English-speaking because most of them looked too young to read, and they were laughing anyway.) The voices and animated mannerisms of Steve Carroll, Kristin Wigg, and even (throwing a bone to those who will only see a movie if it has a known TMer in it) Russell Brand were wonderful. But as with its predecessor, it was Elsie Kate Fisher as Agnes who stole the show. If you have kids, you're going to see it anyway, no matter what I say. If you don't, you should consider it, because it might help you to remember what it was like to be one.

While what people write down, or put on the Internet somewhere has a certain fixed property about it, human memories of events we write down may not reflect 'what actually happened'. There is enough research on human memory to indicate that each time we retrieve a memory, it gets re-written and is probably altered by dropping out certain information and including new information based on the current context in which the memory is retrieved. So if we have textual accounts of things remembered, it still may not be relevant to truth. http://www.simplypsychology.org/loftus-palmer.html

[FairfieldLife] Barry and the Mystery Cultist
Barry has made it clear that he thinks anyone who didn't find Robin's having struck his students a Very Bad Thing was a die-hard cultist, and he has claimed that Robin's supporters were such cultists because we had tried to defend Robin's hitting behavior. Contrary to Barry's claim, only one person on FFL, in fact, has done that. Now, who could that be? Here's what this Mystery Cultist said to Robin the morning after Robin posted his Open Letter in January 2012 (it's from the ninth paragraph of the post). I asked Barry whether he could identify the Cultist from the quote: There is plenty of compassion here for weird shit we all did in our past and this doesn't sound like such a big deal. There were a whole bunch of weird psychological 'breakthrough' cults that seem to be far worse than what you were running back then. If you weren't banging your disciples ten deep in Elvis' Graceland white panty parties, you come off as better than most people in your position of power over the entranced. Barry hasn't said who he thinks the Mystery Cultist is. Either he really has no idea--which is strange, since he's so obsessed with the folks on FFL he thinks are cultists--or for some reason he's reluctant to say who it is. I suspect it's the latter, myself. Take a guess. Then check out this link to the post in question and see whether you agree with me that Barry would *really* prefer that the Mystery Cultist remain anonymous: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/302457 When I first posted this quote Thursday evening, BTW, I predicted that we would hear no more fulminating from Barry about cultists doing any justifying in connection with Robin's Open Letter. I was right. I'm going to make one more post--a repost of Robin's Open Letter itself--then I think this particular kerfuffle will be all wrapped up, and Barry will have to think of a new one.
[FairfieldLife] Repost: Robin's Open Letter of January 2012
This is long but pretty interesting, especially as it describes Robin's experience with his community of followers in the earlier days of his group, before he started giving public seminars. I'm reposting it for anyone who is curious as to whether either Barry or I have misrepresented it as we have been discussing it in the thread just past. Dear Barry Wright, It is true that before I ever gave an official seminar I did, in fact, apply in a more Western sense, the Zen Roshi method of shocking someonethat is, I did on occasion, strike someone physically. Vaj said there was a video of my acting in this way. I know that no such tape exists. And if it did (as Vaj claims) it would be a simple matter of contradicting my avowal here. You will naturally ask: But Robin, by denying that you did in fact strike someone during a seminar, you are in effect implyingsurely you know thisthat you *never* struck anyone. This was your intent, right, Robin? It was not, Barry. For me to have on the one hand denied this accusation knowing it was falseif it had been true, Vaj would be able to convince me very easily of thisand yet, then and there, admitted that I did engage in this practise, or rather *had* engaged in this practise, would mean disclosing something about me which would tend to be interpreted in an entire vacuum of understanding of just what the context of this metaphysical theatre was. I chose, since you are so hostile and prejudiced, to withhold admitting that in fact I had struck peopleon rare occasionsinside the other, more intimate and personal context of what chronologically preceded the formal seminars. When almost all the persons who were convinced of my enlightenment lived in the same residence. By itself, separated from the spiritual context within which it is practised, the Zen Roshi's blow would seem primitive and brutal and outrageous. But we must assume even Leonard Cohen accepted that this was part of the spiritual methodology to which he was subjugating himself in having determined he had a real Teacher. Now what I did resembled not at all what is the classic Zen Flesh Zen Bones move. See if you can stay with me while I try to explain the context within which this act did in fact occur. Inside a seminar setting, however, it was never necessary or appropriate. At least this is my sincere and I believe truthful recollection. Now my purported enlightenment, as I came to understand it, Barry, came about through not just my own efforts, and my devotion to the Master (Maharishi Mahesh Yogi); it was effected by the Vedic gods, these impulses of Creative Intelligence, the devas. This was shown to me in the form of a revelation once I realized that my enlightenment could not be compatible with the description of the universe and the human soul as taught to me by Thomas Aquinas and my learning of the Catholic catechism. It was not that Catholicism forced this revelation upon me; it was more the tremendous shock of having the whole context I had created [or had been created *through* me] since I returned from Switzerland come apart, and eventually disintegrate. Once I realized that certain invisible beings had had a hand in my ultimate liberation I immediately realized that these very beings were not beneficent, were not interested in my happiness. *They had deceived me*. From that point on, early in 1987, I became determined to vanquish my enlightenment, to destroy the biochemical and intellectual basis of my Unity Consciousness. I knew that if my enlightenment was an hallucination, however real it was experientially, that my actions flowing from this assumed state of consciousness, were also flawed, defective, and problematic. And this included that infrequent instance where I would, seemingly under supernatural inspiration and authority, strike someone. Why strike someone, Robin? Well, here we get to the crux of the matter, Barry. These same celestial beings who created my enlightenment, and then pretty much inspired the context out of which I then actedthey evidently knew both the inherent and unrecognized weaknesses of each individual, as well as what the Western Tradition represented in terms of individuation of one's experience through a true existential willingness to allow life to 'make' one's soul:Also*this is the key point, Barry*these same celestial beings made me see each human being as existing inside a context where actual fallen angels warred with the good forces in the universe to take away a human being's innocence, determined as they were to make an individual a tool of their purposes by subtly inducing that person to compensate for some weakness or distortion inside of them *through behaving in a particular mode*.The mode so chosen was the creation of the fallen angel.

For me to have on the one hand denied this accusation knowing it was falseif it had been true, Vaj would be able to convince me very easily of thisand yet, then and there, admitted that I did engage in this practise, or rather *had* engaged in this practise, would mean disclosing something about me which would tend to be interpreted in an entire vacuum of understanding of just what the context of this metaphysical theatre was. I chose, since you are so hostile and prejudiced, to withhold admitting that in fact I had struck peopleon rare occasionsinside the other, more intimate and personal context of what chronologically preceded the formal seminars. When almost all the persons who were convinced of my enlightenment lived in the same residence. By itself, separated from the spiritual context within which it is practised, the Zen Roshi's blow would seem primitive and brutal and outrageous. But we must assume even Leonard Cohen accepted that this was part of the spiritual methodology to which he was subjugating himself in having determined he had a real Teacher. Now what I did resembled not at all what is the classic Zen Flesh Zen Bones move. See if you can stay with me while I try to explain the context within which this act did in fact occur. Inside a seminar setting, however, it was never necessary or appropriate. At least this is my sincere and I believe truthful recollection. Now my purported enlightenment, as I came to understand it, Barry, came about through not just my own efforts, and my devotion to the Master (Maharishi Mahesh Yogi); it was effected by the Vedic gods, these impulses of Creative Intelligence, the devas. This was shown to me in the form of a revelation once I realized that my enlightenment could not be compatible with the description of the universe and the human soul as taught to me by Thomas Aquinas and my learning of the Catholic catechism. It was not that Catholicism forced this revelation upon me; it was more the tremendous shock of having the whole context I had created [or had been created *through* me] since I returned from Switzerland come apart, and eventually disintegrate. Once I realized that certain invisible beings had had a hand in my ultimate liberation I immediately realized that these very beings were not beneficent, were not interested in my happiness. *They had deceived me*. From that point on, early in 1987, I became determined to vanquish my enlightenment, to destroy the biochemical and intellectual basis of my Unity Consciousness. I knew that if my enlightenment was an hallucination, however real it was experientially, that my actions flowing from this assumed state of consciousness, were also flawed, defective, and problematic. And this included that infrequent instance where I would, seemingly under supernatural inspiration and authority, strike someone. Why strike someone, Robin? Well, here we get to the crux of the matter, Barry. These same celestial beings who created my enlightenment, and then pretty much inspired the context out of which I then actedthey evidently knew both the inherent and unrecognized weaknesses of each individual, as well as what the Western Tradition represented in terms of individuation of one's experience through a true existential willingness to allow life to 'make' one's soul:Also*this is the key point,

We don't believe the focus was really race - Martin Family Attorney That's a remarkable statement to come from the Martin legal team, since race is the only reason we're having this trial at all. Everyone from the Martin family's lawyers, to the professional grievance industry, to characters like the New Black Panther Party was busy whipping up riot conditions and treating Zimmerman as a fugitive from racial justice, which led to filmmaker Spike Lee endangering the lives of an innocent couple that just happened to be named 'Zimmerman.' And there's a good reason the media referred to Zimmerman as 'white' until photos of him finally leaked out, and they had to change it to 'white Hispanic,' a very special demographic of which George Zimmerman seems to remain the only high-profile member.

I never hesitated for a moment in knowing it was premature of me to on the one hand deny having done what I was accused of in one contextwhich was true: I did not strike anyone during a seminarwhile at the same time feeling an obligation to acknowledge that this indeed did in fact happenon rare occasionsin a quite different and more intimate context. I will leave it to the readers of FFL to determine whether I am morally culpable in having acted as I have. And this part, from an earlier part of the open letter, were his reasons for the striking. So why not just address the issue since it had been raised rather than giving, at least, the appearance of trying to conceal it. But he evidently had his reasons for letting it play out the way it did, so I will respect that.

And this took the form sometimes of striking them. Maybe in total 4 or 5 persons were struck. I hardly think it was more than this. And this was not something that happened on a regular basis.

It was an inspiredand much resisted (I hated it)response in me in order to facilitate the process whereby a person could experience liberationeven momentarilyfrom their trance caused by their being identified with the particular fallen angel which had been

Thank you, turq, perfect ending to my birthday, just finished watching Despicable Me. And yes, I love little Agnes but have to admit that little Edith also has a special place in my heart.

No, not here on FFL. I think that position has been filled with the current four suckups. But in Paris, on opening night, Despicable Me 2 was great. The theater was full of laughing bilingual French kids. (It was shown in VOST, which means version originale, sous-titré, but I assume most of the kids were English-speaking because most of them looked too young to read, and they were laughing anyway.) The voices and animated mannerisms of Steve Carroll, Kristin Wigg, and even (throwing a bone to those who will only see a movie if it has a known TMer in it) Russell Brand were wonderful. But as with its predecessor, it was Elsie Kate Fisher as Agnes who stole the show. If you have kids, you're going to see it anyway, no matter what I say. If you don't, you should consider it, because it might help you to remember what it was like to be one.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Zimmerman trial - So, it's all about race
It's been political from the get- go. This has been a lame attempt at rehabilitating the unfortunate image of many young black males in America today. If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon. The media has pushed the image of a younger, more wholesome, clean-cut Trayvon being racially profiled by a *white*, oops, *white Hispanic* vigilante. NBC was caught , red-handed, editing 911 tapes in an attempt to make Zimmerman's motives look racially charged. At the same time,the media only shows us photos of Martin some 4 -5 years younger, less intimidating, no *grill*,no mention of his reputation for fighting or drug use. The facts coming out in the trial are showing why Zimmerman was not charged in the first place. As far as I'm concerned, it's the media that is on trial and I find them guilty of misuse of the facts to promote a political agenda. From: Richard J.

Everyone from the Martin family's lawyers, to the professional grievance industry, to characters like the New Black Panther Party was busy whipping up riot conditions and treating Zimmerman as a fugitive from racial justice, which led to filmmaker Spike Lee endangering the lives of an innocent couple that just happened to be named 'Zimmerman.' And there's a good reason the media referred to Zimmerman as 'white' until photos of him finally leaked out, and they had to change it to 'white Hispanic,' a very special demographic of which George Zimmerman seems to remain the only high-profile member.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Barry and the Mystery Cultist
The following is the text from post #302425 posted by Ann on Jan 22, 2012: - OK, this subject of seminars and physical violence seems to be a very important one for some of you. I am going to include a quote I received today from my newly-connected friend/FFL lurker/former Robin follower who has given me permission to use part of her email to me. She has been following my posts and obviously saw that I was going to address this subject tonight. She is an avid FFL follower as I told you before. We shall call her GL. You should also know that she is no apologist for Robin but was a Canadian involved very early on with Robin's Victoria days. I want to start with this incident she outlines in her email because chronologically it is the first real seminar setting which took place in FF back in 1982. It is the session when Lavern was allegedly struck by Robin. It is fortunate GL emailed me what she did otherwise I could tell you nothing of the incident as I was not there, I had not yet attended any Robin gathering. It is the seminar I told you my friend had attended and had piqued my interest in Robin initially. But I digress. Here is the excerpt from GL's email to me regarding the event: Dear Ann, Here's what I remember about 'hitting' or not. I think R's account Jan.17 was about right, message# 302057 (his last post). Were you in Fairfield in summer of 1982? Somewhere in the bottom of my storage boxes is a videotape of the Fairfield incident. (I was there, on the video crew.) I don't remember who else was on stage, who hit Lavern on the shoulder/back. One of R's devoted assistants, I have a couple of ideas, but don't want to name here. He said it was an accident, he turned and accidentally made contact with her, or was trying to keep her from falling off the edge of the platform. oops! It was a shock for all of us. R was furious, and found a way to somehow incorporate the incident into the bigger unfolding story of Fairfield. Now I am not sure, because I don't have the will or the stamina to go through the long list of posts dealing with the hitting issues, why this is such a hot topic or by who(m?) it has been brought up (but I am guessing perhaps Vaj) or even what the exact questions regarding hitting are. So bear with me and may I assume it is a simple question like, Did Robin ever make physical contact with a confrontee that could be described as assault ? Hopefully that is close enough. The simple answer is, Yes, I saw Robin make/imply physical contact with a confrontee that could be described as assault. There is something you first need to know about Robin in the old days. He abhorred being touched or touching people (at least the people I know). He used a silk cloth to sit on, especially in public places, he would often have a wet cloth handed to him after making contact with his hand with someone on stage. It was so rare to get a touch from Robin that it was considered a great honour to have him lay a gentle hand on your shoulder. I have witnessed so many confrontations they must number in the hundreds. They could arise during a meal, a walk or in the far more formal setting of a taped seminar. I missed virtually nothing as I was a permanent fixture as one of two camera operators. Hours and hours standing behind a big tripod my eye to the viewfinder watching every second with our switcher in the back punching between cameras for optimal camera angles. Assault figurative attack or bombard (someone or the senses) with something undesirable or unpleasant. My dictionary gave me this definition so let's run with it. Confrontation was not that fun. Trust me on this. It could be an assault on the senses, yelling or just having to hear what you did not want to hear. And in one case I remember there was what I believe to be an assault on the body, by Robin. I only remember it as an assault because the result was that the confrontee's eyeglasses were broken. The glasses fell off of the confrontee's face and hit the ground and were broken. I do not know if they were broken while still on this man's face or broke when they hit the ground. I remember feeling very shocked and very sad because this was Robin's best, oldest male friend and the vulnerability of this man standing there with his eyeglasses shattered at his feet was deep enough to stick in my memory. I can not say if there was real force involved and there certainly wasn't blood and I can not even say if there was contact or just implied contact and the confrontee moved his head quickly and the glasses spun off. But to me this was an assault because in that moment a man appeared shattered along with his glasses. And at the time I did not understand why it had to be. So I am sorry to have to disappoint anyone hoping for a real knock down drag 'em out expose. Robin simply did not punch or kick or throw people around. He was not a physically violent man. No one

What happens if the mind is crossing between waking and dreaming and TC and something is introduced such as a conscious thought (I am relying on others here for the description of TM's sanyama)? There is one other situation in which waking and sleeping and dreaming cross over, and that is sleepwalking, and people have been reported to have done some rather astonishing things in this state.

Trust me on this. It could be an assault on the senses, yelling or just having to hear what you did not want to hear. And in one case I

I do not even remember if I read the post when it was originally posted by Ann. I vaguely remember something of that thread. What I thought was most interesting about it was Robin not really liking to touch people or being touched. My interest is not much in this striking business, but what his state of mind was then, and what it might be now. And you find the fact that he didn't like to touch or be touched 30-some years ago, and whether he still doesn't, of interest why? You know what, Xeno? I'm much more interested in *your* state of mind. I find your obsessive fascination with Robin's current state of mind (i.e., sanity)--your attempt to find a way to publicly pin a psychiatric diagnosis on him--more than a little unhealthy. And the sneaky way you go about it is just plain creepy. Now, what about the Mystery Cultist? --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, authfriend authfriend@ wrote: I guess you missed where this post of Ann's was discussed at some length in the recent discussion, Xeno, huh? Too bad; you thought you had discovered something that was being kept under wraps. Now, any ideas about who the Mystery Cultist might be that I quoted, the one person here who actually tried to excuse Robin's striking his students in the private setting before there were any seminars?

I was only trying to annoyingly put attention on something that has way too much attention. If I was to post a bunch of crap that happened around my life on here, it would become the same. Controversial, entertaining, fun, stupid and eventually annoying. Toasted ravioli's I honestly did not check out that link. ha. Maybe I could make some from home?

Go after Nabby at least, because he will at least attempt to rebuttal and maybe even through in a really nice song or two from the way back machine. You sir, are picking on a man who is not present.

One, he was accused of striking his students in a very specific context in which he believed he had not done so; and two--well, you'll need to read the Open Letter for that reason. Why not clarify it at the outset? Someone makes a rather serious charge, why not take the time at that moment to set the record straight. If, as he says, the truth was going to come out, address it in a pre-emptive fashion. He offers some rationale for why he did not do that, and leaves it to others to decide if this indicated integrity on his part, or a lack of integrity. From the open letter: When Vaj first accused me of hitting someone at a seminar, I knew it was not true. After all, many persons were there for the first time. Had I done what I was accused of, a majority of those who had never before attended a seminar would have walked out. I don't remember a single person leaving a seminar. It was just not ripe for me to explain all this. I did not deny something I knew was true. I denied what I was accused of. And knew, probably, eventually the truth would come out, which might have the appearance of my having at the very least equivocated on this matter. But my conscience is clear. I never hesitated for a moment in knowing it was premature of me to on the one hand deny having done what I was accused of in one contextwhich was true: I did not strike anyone during a seminarwhile at the same time feeling an obligation to acknowledge that this indeed did in fact happenon rare occasionsin a quite different and more intimate context. I will leave it to the readers of FFL to determine whether I am morally culpable in having acted as I have. And this part, from an earlier part of the open letter, were his reasons for the striking. So why not just address the issue since it had been raised rather than giving, at least, the appearance of trying to conceal it. But he evidently had his reasons for letting it play out the way it did, so I will respect that. If the person seemed so identified with this deceitful representation of themselves through the malice of this fallen angel that they were in fact defending or upholding the integrity of themselves in resisting the beneficent and merciful inspiration of my

As he said: I did not deny something I knew was true. I denied what I was accused of. Hey Judy, can you flesh this out a little. Provide some examples where this would be a meaningful distinction? Not sure what you mean by examples. As you know, it refers to one specific situation, and the meaningful distinction is inherent in the two sentences anyway. You can read them in full context in the repost I just made of Robin's Open Letter. In other words, Go back and read what I wrote before, Dummy. Another way of saying, I HAVE SPOKEN. The matter is closed, because *I* have declared it closed. You get a lot of this from people suffering from Narcissistic Personality Disorder -- declaring their subjective experience reality, and expecting people to buy it.
