Re: [FairfieldLife] Music for the dome?

Based on what some have said about the number of people snoring their way 
through "program," the genre of music appropriate for the domes should be 
called "Snoozak."  :-)

[FairfieldLife] America's Favorite Pastime

[TurquoiseBee turquoi...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

I found this posted on Geoff Gilpin's blog. Finding a song about baseball would 
at first appear an odd fit on a blog about religion and magic, except that this 
one is about the legendary game pitched in 1970 by Dock Ellis. He had spent a 
few days chilling with a friend in LA, lost track of what day it was, and at 
about noon dropped a monster tab of LSD. At 2:00 his girlfriend reminded him 
that he was scheduled to pitch that night. And history was made, in the form of 
a major league no-hitter, pitched on LSD. As Dock later recounted it:

"I can only remember bits and pieces of the game. I was psyched. I had a 
feeling of euphoria. I was zeroed in on the [catcher's] glove, but I 
didn't hit the glove too much. I remember hitting a couple of batters, 
and the bases were loaded two or three times. The ball was small 
sometimes, the ball was large sometimes, sometimes I saw the catcher, 
sometimes I didn't. Sometimes, I tried to stare the hitter down and 
throw while I was looking at him. I chewed my gum until it turned to 
powder. I started having a crazy idea in the fourth inning that Richard Nixon 
was the home plate umpire, and once I thought I was pitching a baseball to Jimi 
Hendrix, who to me was holding a guitar and swinging it over the plate. They 
say I had about three to four fielding chances. I remember diving out of 
the way of a ball I thought was a line drive. I jumped, but the ball 
wasn't hit hard and never reached me."

Something that has greatly aided the consolidation, of particularly farm land,

are declining - Everyone wants the bright lights/big city. There is still a 
considerable amount of decent land left in the US, but it isn't necessarily 
where people want it to be. But it is available, to anyone, regardless of 
nationality, and at a fair price.

It’s hard to conceive a more un-American activity than thinking about an

 Probably you are taking the Hitler comment out of context.
 

 I get the feeling that you probably spend a lot of time searching for any 
positive news about TM and then send a barrage of what you feel are the 
misrepresentations, whether they are skewed, or not, which is unfortunate since 
you make many good points, but the fact that you are willing to skew many other

 Yes, no doubt there was a lot of repetition in MMY's message.  Yes, it could 
get rather dull.  But for me, well, I found many gems.  I gained insight into 
Vedic knowledge and Hindu scriptures.  You hear the criticism that M was no 
student of Hinduism or the Vedas.  And it seems that most of that criticism 
centers on the mantras, or whether he was qualified to have the role of a 
teacher, or one of so many other "technical" points.
 

 Like any of that mattered to me.  Not!
 

 I found his knowledge of the Vedas to be profound.  I think his commentary of 
the Gita was profound.
 

 Please, show me otherwise, other than some technical point that because he 
wasn't a Brahman, he wasn't authorized to have the role he assumed.

 

 I'm not saying that things didn't get a little topsy turvy in the last 15 
years ago, because I think they did, but I'm still riding the wave of what I 
got. And yes, I got my money's worth.

possible you'll be targeted as an infidel by the Islamists.

However, it is interesting to note that MMY selected Nader Ram, who I believe

[FairfieldLife] Thoughts on Land Reform Summits in San Francisco

[nablusoss1008]

In San Francisco, from April 25-28, 400 people from across the country and 
around the world gathered to discuss an awkward problem – land reform in 
America. Land reform is a loaded term, one that reeled conference participants’ 
imaginations toward the antics of Third World dictators and communist zealots. 
It’s hard to conceive a more un-American activity than thinking about an 
alternative to private property. Yet here were the Friends of the Earth next to 
the NAACP west coast region, alongside the Archdiocese of Kansas doing exactly 
that.
 
 That was in 1973.

by the Master —, through Benjamin Creme,   
At the beginning of this New Age which is dawning it is difficult for many to 
imagine the kind of civilization and culture which will grace the succeeding 
centuries. Most attempts to do so remain enmeshed in a materialistic vision; 
seldom does one see the effort made to embody the aspiration of mankind for a 
life of spiritual meaning and expression.

Let us try to envisage the future in terms of the new civilization and culture. 
Soon, the first steps will be taken in the direction of the new dispensation. 
Soon, the new signposts will be set, indicating the way ahead for humanity. At 
first, the changes will be gradual but eventually, in quickening momentum, all 
will be re-fashioned.
Let us consider the nature of the elements which will make up the new 
civilization.

The outstanding attitude of the new time will be the attempt to create right 
relationships, to express goodwill. A massive shift in emphasis from the 
individual to the group will re-orientate humanity along more fruitful lines, 
and will reflect itself in the creation of structures more in keeping with the 
Plan of God. A further characteristic of the future time will be the desire to 
know better the nature of God and to come into closer relationship with that 
Divinity. From being peripheral to men’s lives, as is the case today, this aim 
will become paramount in the lives of millions. Accompanying this new approach 
to God will be a new reverence for all manifestations of life, thus bringing 
men into better alignment with the subhuman kingdoms. This new sense of 
responsibility for the lower kingdoms will speed their evolution and so serve 
the Plan.

Before long, a new approach to science will open the way for a complete 
re-adjustment in men’s attitude to the Reality in which we live. The new 
science will show humanity that all is One, that each fragmented part of which 
we are aware is intimately connected with all others, that that relationship is 
governed by certain laws, mathematically determined, and that within each 
fragment is the potential of the Whole. This new knowledge will transform men’s 
experience of the world and of each other and confirm for them the truth that 
God and man are One. Thus, the new science will demonstrate man’s divinity and 
will lead to the establishment of the New World Religion. The ancient schism 
between religion and science will be healed and a new impulse given to man’s 
spiritual growth.
In this fertile climate, the hidden psychic powers of man will unfold naturally 
and the vast potential of the human mind will conquer space and time and 
control the energies of the universe itself. The resources of the human spirit 
are unlimited. In a crescendo of revelation, the glory of the unseen worlds 
will be revealed to man’s astonished gaze and the full magnitude of the divine 
creation will be realized.
All this awaits man as he stands on the verge of the Aquarian experience. The 
waters of life of Aquarius, channelled to him by the Christ, will awaken in him 
his dormant divine consciousness and show him to be the God he is. Under the 
wise guidance of the Christ and His Brothers, man will attain the full stature 
of revealed divinity which is his birthright, did he but know it.

Stage by stage, century following century, man will build a civilization which 
will demonstrate his growing manifestation of divinity; a culture in which the 
beauty of the divine creation will be expressed in all its aspects, a mirror in 
which the Divine Idea will be reflected in all its glory.

Thus will man take his true place in the scheme of things under the Divine 
Plan. Thus, under the inspiration of the Christ, will he transform this world – 
separated by fear, dogma and hate – into that in which the Law of Love governs, 
in which all men are brothers, in which all that pertains to the divine nature 
engages man’s attention and controls his life

 I love old buildings. Each one has its own vibe, matching its history. I love 
visiting really old buildings when I'm having one of my sorta-psychic days, 
because I can "tune in" and catch glimpses into the past. It's not like seeing 
ghosts -- I don't -- more like being able to feel some residual influence from 
the people who lived their lives there. If I were to try to come up with a 
metaphor for what it feels like, it would be from back in the days of film 
cameras, when you could intentionally or inadvertently create a "double 
exposure." If the camera didn't move, you've got one "background photo," and 
then another one superimposed over it, sort of ghostly, because the second 
image always appears a little overexposed. Sometimes you can see through the 
second image to the background below. 

That's what touring old buildings on a good day is like for me. I see the 
present as the "background photo," and then every so often -- without willing 
it, without expecting it, without doing anything to create it -- I get this 
visual flashback, with other characters and other furniture situated in the 
same room. As with a double exposure, I can sorta see through them. And it only 
lasts for a few seconds. Even if it's only imagined -- and I fully admit that 
it could be -- it's a lot of fun. 

 

 I have to rely totally on my minds eye, and watch/read a lot, always a good 
history doc on the BBC! It's always interesting to try and see how someone else 
lived, ancient Rome is the time I'd most like to visit. I found an unexcavated 
Roman city in Turkey when I was hiking about once, that would have blown you 
away! It was all overgrown with mangroves but you could see all the classical 
icons like the theatre with it's curved seats stretching up into the trees and 
statues of the Emperor. Very cool, there's stuff like this all over the middle 
east, they don't even know the names for most of it and they don't have the 
money or manpower to preserve it so it just gets overrun by nature.
 

 My old TM academy was amazing, more than 500 years old it was perfect for 
letting the imagination run wild. I swear it was haunted, there was one 
corridor that I hated walking through, real shiver down the spine stuff! Must 
have been all the oak panelling and creaky floors.
 

 Henry the 8th stayed there apparently, there was unbroken forest all the way 
to London in those days and he used to go hunting with the earl of Roydon and 
no doubt feast on whole boar cooked in the giant stone fireplace in the dining 
room.
 

 We made do with rice and dhal, I don't know who would be more surprised if a 
superimposed time-slip sort of thing happened and we met each other.
 

 

 



















Trying to describe this reminded me of a Dutch photographer who must have had 
(or imagined) the same experience. He combines new photographs with old to 
create superimposed images that kinda capture what the experience is like. 

I love those photo's, really eerie.
 

 I wonder what it would be like being able to see everything that had happened 
in one place? Is that a sidhi you'd want?

 by the Master —, through Benjamin Creme,At the beginning of this New Age 
which is dawning it is difficult for many to imagine the kind of civilization 
and culture which will grace the succeeding centuries. Most attempts to do so 
remain enmeshed in a materialistic vision; seldom does one see the effort made 
to embody the aspiration of mankind for a life of spiritual meaning and 
expression.
 

 Let us try to envisage the future in terms of the new civilization and 
culture. Soon, the first steps will be taken in the direction of the new 
dispensation. Soon, the new signposts will be set, indicating the way ahead for 
humanity. At first, the changes will be gradual but eventually, in quickening 
momentum, all will be re-fashioned.
 Let us consider the nature of the elements which will make up the new 
civilization.
 

 The outstanding attitude of the new time will be the attempt to create right 
relationships, to express goodwill. A massive shift in emphasis from the 
individual to the group will re-orientate humanity along more fruitful lines, 
and will reflect itself in the creation of structures more in keeping with the 
Plan of God. A further characteristic of the future time will be the desire to 
know better the nature of God and to come into closer relationship with that 
Divinity. From being peripheral to men’s lives, as is the case today, this aim 
will become paramount in the lives of millions. Accompanying this new approach 
to God will be a new reverence for all manifestations of life, thus bringing 
men into better alignment with the subhuman kingdoms. This new sense of 
responsibility for the lower kingdoms will speed their evolution and so serve 
the Plan.
 

 Before long, a new approach to science will open the way for a complete 
re-adjustment in men’s attitude to the Reality in which we live. The new 
science will show humanity that all is One, that each fragmented part of which 
we are aware is intimately connected with all others, that that relationship is 
governed by certain laws, mathematically determined, and that within each 
fragment is the potential of the Whole. This new knowledge will transform men’s 
experience of the world and of each other and confirm for them the truth that 
God and man are One. Thus, the new science will demonstrate man’s divinity and 
will lead to the establishment of the New World Religion. The ancient schism 
between religion and science will be healed and a new impulse given to man’s 
spiritual growth.
 In this fertile climate, the hidden psychic powers of man will unfold 
naturally and the vast potential of the human mind will conquer space and time 
and control the energies of the universe itself. The resources of the human 
spirit are unlimited. In a crescendo of revelation, the glory of the unseen 
worlds will be revealed to man’s astonished gaze and the full magnitude of the 
divine creation will be realized.
 All this awaits man as he stands on the verge of the Aquarian experience. The 
waters of life of Aquarius, channelled to him by the Christ, will awaken in him 
his dormant divine consciousness and show him to be the God he is. Under the 
wise guidance of the Christ and His Brothers, man will attain the full stature 
of revealed divinity which is his birthright, did he but know it.
 

 Stage by stage, century following century, man will build a civilization which 
will demonstrate his growing manifestation of divinity; a culture in which the 
beauty of the divine creation will be expressed in all its aspects, a mirror in 
which the Divine Idea will be reflected in all its glory.
 

 Thus will man take his true place in the scheme of things under the Divine 
Plan. Thus, under the inspiration of the Christ, will he transform this world – 
separated by fear, dogma and hate – into that in which the Law of Love governs, 
in which all men are brothers, in which all that pertains to the divine nature 
engages man’s attention and controls his life. Thus will man’s dreams of 
divinity be realized, his potential be achieved, his destiny fulfilled.
 

 The new civilization written by the Master —, through Benjamin Creme in 1982 
is particularly apt at this time and fits we

I love old buildings. Each one has its own vibe, matching its history. I love 
visiting really old buildings when I'm having one of my sorta-psychic days, 
because I can "tune in" and catch glimpses into the past. It's not like seeing 
ghosts -- I don't -- more like being able to feel some residual influence from 
the people who lived their lives there. If I were to try to come up with a 
metaphor for what it feels like, it would be from back in the days of film 
cameras, when you could intentionally or inadvertently create a "double 
exposure." If the camera didn't move, you've got one "background photo," and 
then another one superimposed over it, sort of ghostly, because the second 
image always appears a little overexposed. Sometimes you can see through the 
second image to the background below. 

That's what touring old buildings on a good day is like for me. I see the 
present as
 the "background photo," and then every so often -- without willing it, without 
expecting it, without doing anything to create it -- I get this visual 
flashback, with other characters and other furniture situated in the same room. 
As with a double exposure, I can sorta see through them. And it only lasts for 
a few seconds. Even if it's only imagined -- and I fully admit that it could be 
-- it's a lot of fun. 

Trying to describe this reminded me of a Dutch photographer who must have had 
(or imagined) the same experience. He combines new photographs with old to 
create superimposed images that kinda capture what the experience is like.

Yes, we have a way of protecting the look of the place with a system of listed 
buildings. Being listed means you can't alter anything, there are different 
levels based on historical value and rarity and if you have to repair your 
listed home you do it in the same way it was built, which can be expensive. No 
patching up the walls with pollyfilla, it's horse hair and lime putty in a 
house more than 200 years old!



The countryside stays nice because we just like it like that, we have an idea 
about what England is and you can still find the pastoral village with church 
and cricket on the green without looking too hard. We have a reverence for it 
that America lacks, maybe because the past goes back so much farther here. I've 
lived in houses that are older than the discovery of America, let alone the 
declaration of independence. Having the past all around must do something to 
the national psyche.

I think it does, and in a good way. Both France and the Netherlands have a 
similar feel for their past, and in preserving important parts of it. Spain, 
not so much. Franco fucked them up so much that they went building-crazy when 
he finally croaked, and as a result very few towns were spared being ruined by 
new high-rises. 

The building next door to mine was built in 1639. It's declared a monument, so 
no one would be able to change it...at least the exterior. The Dutch are clever 
about getting around such restrictions, however. A good example is the Magna 
Plaza, in Amsterdam. It was a *totally* protected national monument, being 
originally part of the government offices near Dam Square. So there was nothing 
they could possibly do to the exterior. So they gutted it, and put a modern 
shopping center inside the original structure. Didn't touch a bit of the 
exterior, except to pretty it up. 

A friend of mine had an art opening at another building around the corner that 
dates back to the 1400s. It's been preserved pretty much "as was," so you get a 
great feeling for how dark and dank and uncomfortable life would have been in 
Leiden back in that period.

about it. Or at least will refuse to be happy with the answer.

Neuroscience doesn't have much to say about spiritual cosmology.

It doesn't need to have. All it needs to do is show how a system
can create explanatory metaphors, it doesn't matter what the
metaphors are, they could be spiritual or mechanistic or a
mixture. The proof will come in the testing to see which is the
best explanation for our experience.

And the human awareness of experience has changed a lot recently.
It used to be limited to what we saw and heard, thus the old
explanations could be "spiritual" as there wasn't any way of
gainsaying it. For instance: believing that the world is
fundamentally human consciousness. With greater tools for
exploration than our senses we know that the universe is much
older than humans, so the Asian spiritual cosmology is dead in the
water. It's either that or everything we think we know is wrong.
You can't have both.


According to the early Buddhists (before the schism) adherents of
the so-called Consciousness Only school believed that
consciousness was the only reality - everything else was just an
appearance, not real, yet not unreal either. The authors of the
Upanishads worked out a philosophical system that was light-years
ahead of Western speculation about the mystery of consciousness.

Light years ahead in accuracy or complexity?

You can have the fanciest theory about how the mind works but it's
pointless if it isn't correct. are these the guys who said we
could fly and become invisible? I'm not impressed.


And, the yogins of ancient India supplemented the philosophy with
yoga - a method to experience pure consciousness. According to
Eliade, yoga is native to India and appears nowhere else in world
civilizations. The idea of a transcendental field that can be
known through free will is apparently unique to South Asia.

All of which is explicable with neurophysiology as it is now. Ask
Lawson about EEG's and defocused attention. Everyone reading this
has had the experience of infinity, do you really think you are
experiencing something outside of your head, some sort of
timeless, edge of the universe thing? Or are you seeing an altered
state of the part of the mind - as dependent on brain functioning
as the rest of it - that gives us the inner picture of depth and
space that we have?

I think the writers of the Upanishads had the same meditational
experiences we do and, lacking decent models of brain functioning,
gave them these literal interpretations which formed the base of
their cosmology.

 He wrote a novel? I'm down the library for that!.
 

 I was somewhat disturbed when I saw allegations that he has written most if 
not all of his books by employing a ghost writer! The allegations claim that no

true or not true they may be. 

 

 Really? I wonder if he just uses the http://www.wisdomofchopra.com/ 
http://www.wisdomofchopra.com/ To write his books. He might as well, I doubt 
anyone would notice.

 

 I was reading recently that Chopra is very powerful in the publishing world, 
he generally has 3 books out at once and all published by different companies, 
which is rare. So no one wants to annoy him in case he takes his rather 
lucrative scribblings elsewhere.
 

 

 I have a close friend who tied herself to his star in the sense of becoming a 
certified Chopra instructor of meditation, yoga and ayurveda. After a few years 
it became apparent that Chopra had no desire of supporting "his" instructors as 
he had initially said he would, by using his considerable fame to assist them 
in getting local students of their own. This led to a great deal of 
disaffection amongst the teachers. I have very little respect for Chopra 
anymore - he seems to have followed in Marshy's footsteps in becoming a self 
centered self-aggrandizing ass who is mainly interested in his own fame and 
money, lots and lots of money.

 

 It's a guru tradition, he was up front about it though. I think that's the 
reason he is public enemy number 1 at the TMO, making money for himself instead 
of giving it to the movement. Tsk, tsk.

knows how to spin a few simple answers to life's problems and the more quantum

 He also has a way with inspirational quotes:
 

 "The web of life unfolds into human reality"

 It's also fascinating that he used to be Marshy's right hand man and now you

 Worth a read. Woomeister Chopra challenges science to explain consciousness 
with a Randi style prize. The money suggests he feels confident that there is 
no scientific solution to the hard problem of consciousness- in the same way 
that James Randi feels confident there is no paranormal.
 

 The trouble for Chopra is that, while no one has managed to demonstrate even a 
tiny morsel of magical powers, we know quite a lot about consciousness already. 
 

 Here's hoping for a swift solution to the hard problem as he's one bullshit

Yes, we have a way of protecting the look of the place with a system of listed 
buildings. Being listed means you can't alter anything, there are different 
levels based on historical value and rarity and if you have to repair your 
listed home you do it in the same way it was built, which can be expensive. No 
patching up the walls with pollyfilla, it's horse hair and lime putty in a 
house more than 200 years old!
 

 The countryside stays nice because we just like it like that, we have an idea 
about what England is and you can still find the pastoral village with church 
and cricket on the green without looking too hard. We have a reverence for it 
that America lacks, maybe because the past goes back so much farther here. I've 
lived in houses that are older than the discovery of America, let alone the 
declaration of independence. Having the past all around must do something to 
the national psyche.
 

 But there's so many people here now and so few houses for them to live in that 
it is changing, a lot of small towns are doubling in size and we will need 
whole new cities soon. They will have to go somewhere. Best come and visit

fundamentalism.   This is the fanatical belief that one's interpretation of the 
sacred book, whether Jewish, Christian or Islamic, is the only truth.

IMO, there is an underlying motive to the violence there.  It's not only 
fundamentalism, but it's the struggle for power and money cloaked under the 
cloth of religion.

This could be the reason why the Bible had the story of the Flood, which states 
that God was angry with the type of people that populated the earth at that 
time.  So, except for the family of Noah, He
destroyed the earth by water.  That's something to think about.  Hello, global 
warming?

Obama and his generals most likely have already thought of this strategy. If 
not, they should be fired. Here are the steps:

1.  When ISIS start the attack of Baghdad, let the Kurds from the north take 
over the town of Mosul to cut-off the supply route of ISIS.  Also, let the 
Kurds seal off the main border town next to Syria to prevent any reinforcements 
of ISIS.

2.  Request Assad to attack the ISIS stronghold in Syria.

3.  Request Iran to patrol its borders to ward-off any insurgents to infiltrate 
Iraq from the east.  If need be, their troops can move in to towns east of 
Baghdad if ISIS attack from the east.

4.  Have the American special forces monitor the Iraqi troops in Baghdad to 
make sure that they hold their positions and fight ISIS who should be attacking 
from the main route to Mosul.

5.  Have American drones patrol the movements of the insurgents in the main 
highway from Mosul.

6.  Have American warplanes attack the ISIS convoy during their siege of 
Baghdad.

The main idea is to isolate the attacking forces of the insurgents and be 
pummeled by American aerial attacks and bombings.  IMO, this would demoralize 
the insurgents and flee for cover.  A victory against the insurgents will 
definitely boost the morale of the Iraqi people and its government.



  
 

[FairfieldLife] The new civilization

[nablusoss1008]

by the Master —, through Benjamin Creme,At the beginning of this New Age 
which is dawning it is difficult for many to imagine the kind of civilization 
and culture which will grace the succeeding centuries. Most attempts to do so 
remain enmeshed in a materialistic vision; seldom does one see the effort made 
to embody the aspiration of mankind for a life of spiritual meaning and 
expression.
 

 Let us try to envisage the future in terms of the new civilization and 
culture. Soon, the first steps will be taken in the direction of the new 
dispensation. Soon, the new signposts will be set, indicating the way ahead for 
humanity. At first, the changes will be gradual but eventually, in quickening 
momentum, all will be re-fashioned.
 Let us consider the nature of the elements which will make up the new 
civilization. 
 

 The outstanding attitude of the new time will be the attempt to create right 
relationships, to express goodwill. A massive shift in emphasis from the 
individual to the group will re-orientate humanity along more fruitful lines, 
and will reflect itself in the creation of structures more in keeping with the 
Plan of God. A further characteristic of the future time will be the desire to 
know better the nature of God and to come into closer relationship with that 
Divinity. From being peripheral to men’s lives, as is the case today, this aim 
will become paramount in the lives of millions. Accompanying this new approach 
to God will be a new reverence for all manifestations of life, thus bringing 
men into better alignment with the subhuman kingdoms. This new sense of 
responsibility for the lower kingdoms will speed their evolution and so serve 
the Plan.
 

 Before long, a new approach to science will open the way for a complete 
re-adjustment in men’s attitude to the Reality in which we live. The new 
science will show humanity that all is One, that each fragmented part of which 
we are aware is intimately connected with all others, that that relationship is 
governed by certain laws, mathematically determined, and that within each 
fragment is the potential of the Whole. This new knowledge will transform men’s 
experience of the world and of each other and confirm for them the truth that 
God and man are One. Thus, the new science will demonstrate man’s divinity and 
will lead to the establishment of the New World Religion. The ancient schism 
between religion and science will be healed and a new impulse given to man’s 
spiritual growth.
 In this fertile climate, the hidden psychic powers of man will unfold 
naturally and the vast potential of the human mind will conquer space and time 
and control the energies of the universe itself. The resources of the human 
spirit are unlimited. In a crescendo of revelation, the glory of the unseen 
worlds will be revealed to man’s astonished gaze and the full magnitude of the 
divine creation will be realized.
 All this awaits man as he stands on the verge of the Aquarian experience. The 
waters of life of Aquarius, channelled to him by the Christ, will awaken in him 
his dormant divine consciousness and show him to be the God he is. Under the 
wise guidance of the Christ and His Brothers, man will attain the full stature 
of revealed divinity which is his birthright, did he but know it.
 

 Stage by stage, century following century, man will build a civilization which 
will demonstrate his growing manifestation of divinity; a culture in which the 
beauty of the divine creation will be expressed in all its aspects, a mirror in 
which the Divine Idea will be reflected in all its glory.
 

 Thus will man take his true place in the scheme of things under the Divine 
Plan. Thus, under the inspiration of the Christ, will he transform this world – 
separated by fear, dogma and hate – into that in which the Law of Love governs, 
in which all men are brothers, in which all that pertains to the divine nature 
engages man’s attention and controls his life. Thus will man’s dreams of 
divinity be realized, his potential be achieved, his destiny fulfilled.
 

 The new civilization written by the Master —, through Benjamin Creme in 1982 
is particularly apt at this time and fits well with the Compilation in this 
issue, hence our decision to reprint it with the Master’s approval. As readers 
will note in the introduction to the Compilation the world can now be said to 
be definitely in the Age of Aquarius.

Neuroscience doesn't have much to say about spiritual cosmology. Renes 
Descarte believed the physical body was separate from the mind, thus 
creating a mind-body dualism. In contrast, the ancient Indians had a lot 
to say about spiritual cosmology. They postulated that /consciousness is 
a process of self-awareness/. And, consciousness is also a way of 
knowing and being intentional.


According to the early Buddhists (before the schism) adherents of the 
so-called Consciousness Only school believed that consciousness was the 
only reality - everything else was just an appearance, not real, yet not 
unreal either. The authors of the Upanishads worked out a philosophical 
system that was light-years ahead of Western speculation about the 
mystery of consciousness.


And, the yogins of ancient India supplemented the philosophy with yoga - 
a method to experience pure consciousness. According to Eliade, yoga is 
native to India and appears nowhere else in world civilizations. The 
idea of a transcendental field that can be known through free will is 
apparently unique to South Asia.

I don't think it's just an assumption, more an argument with weight behind it. 
The universe started with the simplest element, hydrogen, and via stellar 
processes gradually created elements capable of forming more complex entities. 
This much we know.

If something had started off as complex then what would have been the decision 
maker in what complexity it was going to have? Take all the stuff that makes up 
you - mostly water and a handful of stuff but arranged in such a complex way 
there is probably only one or two ways of arranging it that makes something 
living let alone something we'd recognise as you.

A great many slightly simpler version of you (and all people) were required as 
a base for the next stage, all the way back to plankton and beyond to carbon 
molecules etc. To have Share suddenly appear fully formed would be too huge a 
step for it to have happened on its own without arousing serious suspicion. And 
it's the same with the universe, if it had gone straight from the big bang to 
anything other than subatomic particles (which really aren't anything much but 
have great potential) a casual observer later on (like us) might get 
suspicious. 

It's either a step by step  process or there has to be something involved in 
design and planning and that kind of negates the idea of creation because if it 
needs intelligence to do it then the intelligence must have come first. 
Intelligence by it's nature is complex.

According to MMY in CBG: "The authorship of action does not in
reality belong to the "I". It is a mistake to understand that "I" do
this, "I" experience this and "I" know this. All action is performed
by the three gunas born of Nature." - MMY on BG - V: 14; 1967, p.
259. 

The implications of these passages indicate that the nature of the
mind is appreciated as it is, separate from activity. The "goal" of
TM does not consist in achieving anything or reaching anything, but
simply in recognizing what already is the case, that the "I" is
essentially uninvolved with activity. Here, the ONLY criterion is
internal: the Self cognized as independent of action.

"But he who knows the truth about the divisions of the gunas and their actions, 
O mighty armed, knowing that it is the gunas which act upon the gunas, remains 
unattached." MMY on BG - V: 27; 1967, p. 220
