 I'm gonna go with Bhairitu's answer above; they were
 just creative to start with.
 
 As for "increased" creativity, however, most serious rock
 critics consider their two previous albums ("Rubber Soul"
 and "Revolver") to be better than "Sgt. Pepper." I know
 I certainly do.
 
 
 
 Revolver was also heavily indebted to the Fab Four's LSD initiation.
 "Tomorrow Never Knows" was a full-on attempt to recreate the immersive 
experience of LSD with lyrics borrowed from Timothy Leary's Tibetan Book of the 
Dead-inspired writings.
 
 "'Got to Get You into My Life' was about pot, claims McCartney. I (as did John 
Lennon) consider it more likely to be about Paul's first acid trip. Consider 
the lyric: "I took a ride, I didn't know what I would find there / Another road 
where maybe I could see some other kind of mind there."
 "She Said She Said" is a song written by John Lennon who described it as "an 
'acidy' song" with lyrics inspired by actor Peter Fonda's comments during an 
LSD trip in 1965 with members of the Beatles and the Byrds.

 "Rubber Soul" was their best album although I certainly loved the White Album 
too. As a 9 year old kid I knew every song, every word of "Rubber Soul". I 
would simply listen to it time after time in the living room and sing my little 
heart out.

2013-10-31 Thread Richard J. Williams

So, you speak some Tibetan.

You are doing the Rudrâbhishekam for what purpose? For purification, 
acquisition, or for preparing the mind to accept voidness? Go figure.


According to H. von Glasenapp, tantrism was originally Hindu, but this 
view has long since been abandoned: "The contemporary view is that 
Buddhist tantrism preceded Hindu tantrism (Bharati p. 109)."

 Still tripping on Crosby, Stills and Nash after discovering
this treasure, I thought I'd post the song that started it all.

As I remember the story, Steven wrote the song and taught
it to David. They worked on harmonies for it, but David 
always thought that it needed a third voice. 

So they go over to Joni Mitchell's house, and there they 
meet for the first time this guy from England who they 
really only know as the voice of The Hollies. And things
progress and get wild and wooly the way things got back
in those days of Laurel Canyon house parties, and at 
some point Steven and David start to sing "Helplessly
Hoping," which of course no one has heard before. 

On the second verse, David heard Graham Nash join
in, singing the *exact* third harmony part he had 
written in his head. And the rest is history.

 wanted to look around so I gave him the tour. When he got 

 to my sadhana room and looked at the large altar (set down

 Surmounting it were large hand-painted Thankas of various Vajrayana Yidam and 
Dharma protectors ... like Ekajâti and Rahula. 

 

 He pointed at the Lingam and said "Oh - Original Tantra!" That was 2005. He 
asked questions about it and about what practice I did. I told him I didn't do 
a daily abhisheka but rather did it "as desired ... kamya"

 No offense intended, but I don't think that "He's A Rebel" qualifies
as Motown.  It's more of a Phil Spector thang.  :-)

As Pure Motown goes, it's hard to top Smokey.

 I'm gonna go with Bhairitu's answer above; they were
 just creative to start with.
 
 As for "increased" creativity, however, most serious rock
 critics consider their two previous albums ("Rubber Soul"
 and "Revolver") to be better than "Sgt. Pepper." I know
 I certainly do.
 
 
 
 Revolver was also heavily indebted to the Fab Four's LSD initiation.
 "Tomorrow Never Knows" was a full-on attempt to recreate the immersive 
experience of LSD with lyrics borrowed from Timothy Leary's Tibetan Book of the 
Dead-inspired writings.
 
 "'Got to Get You into My Life' was about pot, claims McCartney. I (as did John 
Lennon) consider it more likely to be about Paul's first acid trip. Consider 
the lyric: "I took a ride, I didn't know what I would find there / Another road 
where maybe I could see some other kind of mind there."
 "She Said She Said" is a song written by John Lennon who described it as "an 
'acidy' song" with lyrics inspired by actor Peter Fonda's comments during an 
LSD trip in 1965 with members of the Beatles and the Byrds.

don't forget 'North Country Blues', from his album 'The Times They are a

I'm gonna go with Bhairitu's answer above; they were
just creative to start with.

As for "increased" creativity, however, most serious rock
critics consider their two previous albums ("Rubber Soul"
and "Revolver") to be better than "Sgt. Pepper." I know
I certainly do.

Revolver was also heavily indebted to the Fab Four's LSD initiation.
"Tomorrow Never Knows" was a full-on attempt to recreate the immersive 
experience of LSD with lyrics borrowed from Timothy Leary's Tibetan 
Book of the Dead-inspired writings.
"'Got to Get You into My Life' was about pot, claims McCartney. I (as 
did John Lennon) consider it more likely to be about Paul's first acid 
trip. Consider the lyric: "I took a ride, I didn't know what I would 
find there / Another road where maybe I could see some other kind of 
mind there."
"She Said She Said" is a song written by John Lennon who described it 
as "an 'acidy' song" with lyrics inspired by actor Peter Fonda's 
comments during an LSD trip in 1965 with members of the Beatles and 
the Byrds.

Still tripping on Crosby, Stills and Nash after discovering
this treasure, I thought I'd post the song that started it all.

As I remember the story, Steven wrote the song and taught
it to David. They worked on harmonies for it, but David
always thought that it needed a third voice.

So they go over to Joni Mitchell's house, and there they
meet for the first time this guy from England who they
really only know as the voice of The Hollies. And things
progress and get wild and wooly the way things got back
in those days of Laurel Canyon house parties, and at
some point Steven and David start to sing "Helplessly
Hoping," which of course no one has heard before.

On the second verse, David heard Graham Nash join
in, singing the *exact* third harmony part he had
written in his head. And the rest is history.

2013-10-31 Thread Bhairitu
I've mentioned it here before but I also knew someone who worked at  the 
Leeds Music in Paris in the 1960s and said the Beatles bought some of 
their songs.  That was NOT an uncommon practice back then.  I had a 
cousin who sold some songs to a music publisher.  And the publisher of 
my 60's group records put a fictitious name on a song I actually wrote.


I would also suspect that their tunes were a little weak when George 
Martin began producing them and he probably taught them how to compose 
better.  Many amateurs (who don't have serious musical training) tend to 
write songs that have a poor arc.  It's actually fairly easy to correct 
that.

The biography to read will be the one Jane Asher publishes when Paul McCartney 
kicks the bucket (and if that's what it takes to stop him singing bring it on). 
Jane was Paul's girlfriend from 1963-68 which would include the Beatles' early 
drug "experimentation" and the trip to India to sit at the feet of Maharishi. 
Should be quite a colourful tale. I'm assuming she hasn't penned it yet out of 
respect to Paul's privacy.

On the contrary, Sgt. Pepper was critically acclaimed upon release and 
won four Grammy Awards in 1968, one of the world's best selling albums. 
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles is the good example 
of what is typically cited by serious critics as the best album of all 
time by Rolling Stone Magazine.


You sure you've listened to these albums? You recent posted that you've 
never listened to a single Ledd Zeppelin album all the way through. Go 
figure.


Remind me to take your opinions of rock bands and rock musicians with a 
little grain of salt. Apparently you didn't realize that Jimmy Page of 
Ledd Zeppelin was listed #3 on the Rolling Stone list of the 100 
greatest guitar players and you were telling me that Stevie Ray Vaughan 
was not as good as Hendrix. LoL!

I understand that you'd like to assign their creativity to their
practice of TM, but isn't what you're asking in the same
ballpark as asking, "How long had Dr. Harold Bloomfield,
once a 'poster boy' for the TM movement, been meditating
before he started drugging his female patients and molesting
them?"

I mean, if TM is the "cause" in one case, why isn't it in the
other?

Barry stooped to the old guilt by association ad hominem fallacy.

But why would Barry want to associate Card with Harold Bloomfield? Not 
only was Barry's comment an irrelevant red herring, but it was downright 
nasty with some shades of Vaj mixed in with it. It's bad enough to 
equate Bloomfield's actions with your average TMer, but Card hasn't 
presented any suspicion that he's involved with raping any women. Barry 
should apologize to the entire group or leave, in my opinion.


If we all followed Barry's logic, we could associate most of the things 
Barry does with his teacher Fred Lenz who has been accused of some 
pretty nasty behavior.

at all when they recorded the tracks for the album.

 Dalby Hall
 
 
 Notice how much softer and inclusive this announcement reads than the original 
announcement by substituting the words 'meditating community'  for the words 
'Yogic Flyers'?  Turqb mentioned a while ago how alienating it is to drive with 
the "yogic flyer" distinction between meditators of the community.  There is a 
valid observation there. Is interesting the administration is determined to 
drive the distinction seemingly to the end.

 No, you don't "understand" any such thing. You're making a guess with no 
basis, for the sole purpose of having an opportunity to bash card and TMers and 
TM.

 You were asking whether the questions were in the same ballpark, not whether 
the answers were. Got a little lost there, din'cha?
 

 There could be lots of reasons why the answers would be different, of course.

Once again, let's review some of the netiquette protocols for posting 
messages to discussion groups:


We don't endorse the 'caste system' which has individuals classed 
according to their birth circumstances. This is considered to be bigoted 
and prejudiced malice toward a particular person or group according to 
what part of the world they are born into, their race, religion, gender, 
or their place of origin or current residence. These kinds of statement 
should be avoided when posting to discussion groups. Most of us don't 
care if you're from Canada or not, but down here in the U.S., we are 
trying to become equals under the law. Go figure.


1. Try to make yourself look good on the internet.

Note: "As in the world at large, most people who communicate online just 
want to be liked. Networks -- particularly discussion groups -- let you 
reach out to people you'd otherwise never meet."

P.S. Why am I doing all the heavy lifting around here? What happened to 
the moderators and the owner of the group?

fusing western science with old systems of human spirituality he waged a 
remarkable broad fronted multiple prong impact on human condition in his

[FairfieldLife] Special Knowledge Meeting in the Dome

2013-10-31 Thread dhamiltony2k5
Saturday, November 2nd at 1:30 pm

 
 

 Video of Maharishi's historic lecture of Dec. 27, 1979, where he discussed 
with the meditating community of the Creating Coherence Program their deepest 
experiences.
 This event happened in the Field House during Maharishi's visit to Maharishi 
International University to witness the final stages of the building of the 
first Golden Dome.
 This tape has been rarely seen. There will be plenty of time for questions and 
answers, and discussion.

ballpark as asking, "How long had Dr. Harold Bloomfield,
