FWIW, as a mere meditator, I first heard about Ritam in either late 1975 or 
early 1976, on a residence course at which the teachers gave a lecture on the 
TM-Sidhis.

Among the examples of Ritam they gave was the guy who needed to know a phone 
number, who would find in his hands the appropriate page of the phone book. I 
asked whether the page would have been generated de novo, or whether there was 
some poor shlump somewhere who would then have a phone book with a missing page.

As absurd as the example was, I think it was actually a good theoretical 
question. After all, we were hearing about Ritam for the first time and had no

unstressing and ignored it.

I would have to look up my premium payments back in the 1980s but 
since they didn't leave any impression they probably didn't cost much 
and that company covered alternative care too.


Trader Joe's got rid of their health care benefit and giving the 
savings to their employees to buy their own healthcare.  That's a 
bold move because as any greedy CEO would tell you the health 
benefits keep their wage slaves tethered to the company.  If Trader 
Joe's employees want to move on to something else they won't lose 
their health care.

And, they are the least likely to use it. According to what I've 
read, most young people will not see any value in Obamacare - they 
will see it as a bad deal.


Not to mention fixing the price - so that younger people pay more to 
keep the premiums down for the older folks. That's when the real 
revolution will start.


Go figure.

"The trouble is that loss aversion also militates against buying 
insurance. Especially if you don't make a lot of money--and many 
young people don't--writing that premium check is painful if not 
prohibitive."

Medicare.  But perhaps Single Payer should just be Medicare for

We used to have non-profit health care in this country.  Even 
many of the health insurance companies back in the day were 
non-profit.  But then the "joy boys of capitalism" saw something 
new to hijack and exploit.  And we got screwed.


BTW, speaking of Medicare, I just sold a house that I held title 
on but it was really paid for by my relatives who lived in it.  A 
few months back when I contacted my accountant for the tax 
consequences she grimly mentioned the 3.8% Medicare tax.  I 
didn't think that was so bad because I assumed it was only on the 
capital gains.  Nope, it was on the sale price of the house.  
That doesn't seem right to me and reading up it was one of the 
items hidden in the health care bill. That's one thing that 
really may need to be challenged.

[FairfieldLife] The Future is Clear

2013-09-26 Thread Richard J. Williams

On a clear day, I can see the documents going to the cloud. We already 
use Yahoo, Facebook and Instagram. So, media on the cloud with mobile 
devices like tablets, will be replacing the traditional desktop 
computers - old, ugly, and inelegant door stops.

So, if you're just surfing the web, checking email, or uploading 
snapshots, it's faster to pull out a Surface or an iPad and get the job 
done, fast, anywhere, anytime.

"The future is clear: The tablet will eat the desktop PC (just the way 
it's eating the laptop). The tablet of the future will serve as a 24/7 
portable computing hub that simply mates with monitors and keyboards as 
necessary. This isn't necessarily the function of some major innovation; 
it's basic, obvious evolution."

P.S. If you've got a lot of typing to do and you need full program 
applications, it's allway better to use a real keyboard and a desktop 
computer.

Tips:

If you decide to get a new chair for your workstation make sure it has 
these features:

1. wheels
2. swivel 360
3. adjustable back angle & up and down

This book will answer everyone's questions about how Pure Consciousness, 
the Field of All Possibilities, the Home of All the Laws of Nature, and 
the Source of Infinite Correlation can be summoned for the fulfillment 
of all desires - 'Ritam Bhara Pragya'. - Beacon Light of the Himalayas 
by MMY


A compilation of the three lectures given by Maharishi in Kerala, India, 
in 1957 that give birth to the worldwide TM movement; 34 pages.


'The Vedas'

This is a transcription of a tape recording of a lecture by Maharishi 
given on December 6, 1964. This lecture is about the "knowledge of 
life," right from the beginning, including a discussion about how 
creation manifests from "the will of God." A great classic; 37 pages.


'World Peace and the Deep Meditation'

An excellent introductory lecture, first published by SRM in 1962; 14 
pages.

"Kind of funny the way Maharishi used to talk A LOT about patience, 
and his analogy of selling pencils to earn money, one pencil at a

Allowed me to stay focused on the goal, which I thought was external 
for the longest time, and it *almost* is: Ritam Bhara Pragya.
When I first heard about "Ritam", in the 1980's, it was in the context 
of immediate benefit, expression of the sidhis. Now I find out, 
backwards, that it is the state of mind, where the rhythm of the mind 
matches the rhythm of the universe. I found out backwards, because I 
was thinking about how to finish the sentence in paragraph two, and 
'Ritam Bhara Pragya' came in, so I googled it, and found out it was 
exactly what I was trying to express.
So, that's how stuff happens now. Further unfolding of the TMSP - full 
access to mind, matter, and everything in between. An expansion of 
living Brahman, where the difference between inside and out, 
practically disappears, this is another union, between an enlightened 
mind (intellect and heart in Yoga), and manifestation, or not, in the 
manifest world, the physical world.
The deepest and most powerful impulses of creation make themselves 
known, not in any dramatic fashion, but in a way that is natural, and 
approachable, making as much sense as those more obvious laws in what 
I will call the most obvious world.
Finally, such experience is incredibly useful! An entire landscape, 
conforming to Maharishi's expression, "do less, and accomplish more", 
opens up. A very different, yet deeply satisfying way of functioning, 
where any point in time or space, ranging from nanoseconds, to cosmic

I met Chuck and his wife Freida through the Columbia, SC TM center. So

  Apparently Girish is not involved in any  way with MUM or it's
  managing it's assets. 

However, the Indian tradition of reciting Vedic prayers is very
  old, dating from at least 1500 BCE, so it wouldn't surprise me if

did it already exist somewhere and was just brought to you?

Another example they used was if you want an apple, you'll find one in your

Golden Delicious, e.g.--or if it would be a sort of generic cosmic apple. But

didn't know or had no interest in the details.

Gimme a break, I'd only been meditating for around six months!

I think it's great. I love asking really literal questions when you get the big

FWIW, as a mere meditator, I first heard about Ritam in either late 1975 or 
early 1976, on a residence course at which the teachers gave a lecture on the 
TM-Sidhis.

Among the examples of Ritam they gave was the guy who needed to know a phone 
number, who would find in his hands the appropriate page of the phone book. I 
asked whether the page would have been generated de novo, or whether there was 
some poor shlump somewhere who would then have a phone book with a missing page.

As absurd as the example was, I think it was actually a good theoretical 
question. After all, we were hearing about Ritam for the first time and had no 
idea what the mechanics involved. The teachers apparently assumed I was 
unstressing and ignored it.

much that someone on a group like Yahoo might post a link to your image

use. I probably got some kid thrown out of college for that on my 
Earthlink site.  He ran up about 14 GB of overrun but Eathlink could see 
it was coming from a server at a college during winter break.  That 
overrun could have cost $600.

Gimme a break, I'd only been meditating for around six months!

I think it's great. I love asking really literal questions when you get the big 
spiel on things like ritam or other rather grandiose purported phenomena 
possibilities. It is perfectly natural to ask the questions you did and it also 
makes these people have to think a little and analyze how the thing might 
actually work beyond some airy fairy 'fact' that it does. More people should 
have taken the route you did instead of sitting there like numbskulls nodding 
their fool heads in wonderment. (Share?)

FWIW, as a mere meditator, I first heard about Ritam in either late 1975 or 
early 1976, on a residence course at which the teachers gave a lecture on the 
TM-Sidhis.

Among the examples of Ritam they gave was the guy who needed to know a phone 
number, who would find in his hands the appropriate page of the phone book. I 
asked whether the page would have been generated de novo, or whether there was 
some poor shlump somewhere who would then have a phone book with a missing page.

As absurd as the example was, I think it was actually a good theoretical 
question. After all, we were hearing about Ritam for the first time and had no

unstressing and ignored it.

corrupt, but in the main most of them are not stupid, not nearly as 
stupid as TM True Believers who believe this crap.


If this IDT (ah! they got a new name for it!) really worked, every 
small nation on earth would mandate practice of TM and TM Sidhi 
program for every citizen over the age of 13 to keep themselves safe. 
All these African nations who are cutting each others throats would 
implement this IDT in a heartbeat and the entire sub-continent would 
be at peace. But they don't and it not due to "political reasons" - 
its due to the fact that TM Sidhi practice doesn't do a damn thing to 
the collective war mongering of the world. It just makes its 
practitioners feel warm and fuzzy.


But OK, let's say it is real and it does work. Forget the old bullshit 
claims from Lebanon in the 1980s. Lets put it to a real test.


You pick out any Third World country. Fill it with as many yogic 
fliers as you like, get 10,000, get 30 or 40,000. Get a million if you 
can find them. Then go over to Somalia and find the poorest, 
hungriest, most desperate men you can find, the ones who have been 
making a living as pirates who are now out of work due to the crack 
down various nations are making on the Somali pirates.


Take about 20,000 of these guys and arm them with AR 15's or whatever 
kind of weapons you can lay your hands on, put these guys on the 
border of the now invincible nation and tell them they can go in and 
take anything and everything they want with no repercussions - the US 
will guarantee the deal - and turn them loose. If you have a million 
yogic fliers, the Somalis would then politely thank you for the guns, 
sell them and send the money back to their parents in Somalia.


But in reality your Invincible Nation would now be owned and operated

A quote from Maharishi on ritam bhara pragya that I found on Chopra's blog:

‘When awareness is permanently established in Pure Consciousness, 
only the truth will dawn in one’s awareness. This state of consciousness is 
called Ritam-bhara pragya, “that intelligence which knows only the 
truth”.
 ‘During the practice of the Transcendental Meditation Technique, as 
the awareness goes from the gross thinking level to finer thinking 
levels and then to the Transcendent, the experience of Ritam-bhara 
pragya can occur on the finest thinking level, very close to the 
Transcendent. In this experience one feels “I know everything”. As the 
practice advances the experience of Ritam-bhara pragya becomes 
permanently established. 
  ‘When one’s awareness is established on the level of Ritam-bhara pragya, it 
is possible to produce specific impulses, or sounds, in order to produce any 
desired influence on an object. This level of consciousness has 
control over the whole field of objectivity. By developing this ability 
to produce effects in creation according to one’s desire, one gains 
mastery over Nature.’
 —Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, 26 July 1971

below:

> and you really want someone to see it, try covering all the bases
> by *both* pasting it in and *also* pasting in a link...

OK, start by assuming that you can see the photo you're trying to
paste in on another website, in another page of your browser. Use
whatever procedure has worked for you in the past to click on that
photo, copy it, and paste it into your new message.

But then, because many people are not seeing these pasted-in photos,
also add a direct URL to the photo. Back on the original website that
contains your source photo (*not* the still-unsent FFL post), right-
click (or its Mac counterpart) on the photo and select 'Copy Link
Location'. Then return to your FFL post and paste the text from
your Clipboard into the post, and then do whatever you normally
have to do to make links clickable.

This way you're "covering the bases" and providing two different
ways to view the graphics, and at the same time not forcing the rest
of us to go through endless iterations of "Baaaw...my graphic didn't
show up" conversations.

I'm suggesting that, given the current state of Yahoo, it's safest to
assume that your pasted-in graphics are *not* going to show up,
and thus to provide an alternative method for people to see them.

FWIW, as a mere meditator, I first heard about Ritam in either late 1975 or 
early 1976, on a residence course at which the teachers gave a lecture on the 
TM-Sidhis.

Among the examples of Ritam they gave was the guy who needed to know a phone 
number, who would find in his hands the appropriate page of the phone book. I 
asked whether the page would have been generated de novo, or whether there was 
some poor shlump somewhere who would then have a phone book with a missing page.

As absurd as the example was, I think it was actually a good theoretical

my ego, just long enough to make me realize, that he was expressing a time
frame that operates on its own, leading surely to success.

Helped me get past false expectations for myself, and the world.
Allowed me to stay focused on the goal, which I thought was external for the
longest time, and it *almost* is: Ritam Bhara Pragya.

When I first heard about
"Ritam", in the 1980's, it was in the context of immediate benefit,
expression of the sidhis. Now I find out, backwards, that it is the state of
mind, where the rhythm of the mind matches the rhythm of the universe. I found
out backwards, because I was thinking about how to finish the sentence in
paragraph two, and 'Ritam Bhara Pragya' came in, so I googled it, and found out
it was exactly what I was trying to express.

So, that's how stuff happens now.
Further unfolding of the TMSP - full access to mind, matter, and everything in
between. An expansion of living Brahman, where the difference between inside
and out, practically disappears, this is another union, between an enlightened
mind (intellect and heart in Yoga), and manifestation, or not, in the manifest
world, the physical world.

The deepest and most powerful impulses
of creation make themselves known, not in any dramatic fashion, but in a way
that is natural, and approachable, making as much sense as those more obvious
laws in what I will call the most obvious world.

Finally, such experience is incredibly
useful! An entire landscape, conforming to Maharishi's expression, "do
less, and accomplish more", opens up. A very different, yet deeply
satisfying way of functioning, where any point in time or space, ranging from
nanoseconds, to cosmic eons, is available. No gaps.

Certainly, for
myself, I am rarely greatly concerned about my well being. However, every human
desires world peace, and I will always wait, and work, for that."

My old friend Edmund Taylor who now lives in North Carolina claims that it was 
in response to a question from him that Marshy first spoke of ritam - he says 
there's a tape of it in the TM archives - it had to be in the 1970's cuz that's 
when he did TTC - dunno if its true but that's what he claims
