Having an infinite mind might be handy in some ways but it seems your
imagination has some catching up to do.

I can't think of anything more amazing (or important) than exploring other
planets. Amazing because of both the conceptual the technological leap. Think
about what we had to work out about the moon before we tried to go there,
temperature extremes, radiation dangers, and that car we took was designed to
work in a gravity lower than that of Earth - is that clever or what? We don't
know what else we might invent from space exploration, things that might come
in useful in our day to day lives.

And then there's actually getting there, the math involved in piloting a craft
away from our usual reference points had to be thought up from scratch. The
power needed to escape gravity had to be exactly known or we might have never
got out of the atmosphere.

And then there's the knowledge gained, things we would never have known about
what outer space is actually like. Conjecture is one thing but actually going
there!

And it's important because we will die on Earth if we don't escape and there
is no time like the present for doing that. No point waiting for someone to
invent warp drive, let's go now and develop further with the inevitable
increase in knowledge we gain from experimenting.

Bhairitu, 

 You should learn Nadi Astrology as presented by Umang Taneja on YouTube.  
However, he presents his lectures mostly in Hindi.  I labored by listening 
through his lectures, even though I don't speak or understand a word of Hindi.
 

 From what I could gather by inference, Nadi astrology gives a person another 
dimension to understand the birth chart.  The technique basically uses the 
sub-lords of the nakshatra as the basis for making predictions and assessing 
the tendencies of the entire kundali.  It's another version of the Krishnamurti 
Padhati system.

wait a few years for Rahu and Ketu to move into exaltation.  My Rahu is exalted

John, agreed 100%! I was alluding to that, when I mentioned that M had 
suggested that the poor help the rich to evolve. Giving charity can mitigate 
ones own karma. Sewing a single seed brings forth many more. I guess there will 
always be those that think it's unfair for a rich person to help a poor person 
because they might reap some windfall from it.LOL!< M once said that America is 
a great place to work out ones karma because of all the possibilities.

Mike,

There's nothing wrong with giving something as charity from your own pocket.  
In jyotish, it's a remedy to help a person mitigate the bad karma that he or 
she is experiencing in this life time.  If you think about, there is a 
practical reason why this works.

However, as MMY has mentioned in one of his lectures, there are some people who 
consciously or unconsciously want to be poor, especially in developed countries 
like the USA.  If one works for a living, there shouldn't be any reason why one 
has to live in poverty.

But unfortunately poverty happens more commonly in third world countries. Is it 
due to their national karma or is it their government's fault?

[FairfieldLife] Japanese Town Special

2014-06-29 Thread jr_...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]

I found a new restaurant at the Japanese Center area today.  It used to be run 
by Denny's.  Now, it's become a Korean restaurant and is fairly busy with many 
customers.  So, I tried their bulgogi beef special served with soup, kimchee, 
noodles, honey-sweetened fried potato cubes, pot stickers, and rice. It was 
delightful and creative.
 

 It's nice to see that they're able to run a profitable business at that 
location, whereas Denny's could not.
 

 Then, I went inside the center to have an ice cream sundae, which was made of 
green tea ice cream, mixed with sweet bean paste, and topped with whipped 
cream.  And, I had a side of coke with it.  It was delicious.

 

 Next, I was drawn by a fragrance from a store selling incense and perfumes. 
So, I went inside and bought a incense set with sandalwood incense, charcoal 
cubes, and an incense burner for the house.
 

 And, NO.  I didn't attend the Gay Pride Parade today which was attended by an 
estimated crowd of about half a million.

---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,  wrote :

 [ This is just a general rap written at a pleasant canal-side Leiden cafe on a 
pleasant afternoon waiting for all hell to break loose later during the World 
Cup game. It has nothing to do with anything said recently on FFL; it's just a 
train of thought that developed while reading another forum. ]

There are some people one meets on the Internet who seem to have a negative 
relationship with contradiction. They hate being caught saying something that 
contradicts something they'd said earlier, and with the same fervor with which 
they leap at the throats of others who they think they've "caught" in a similar 
contradiction. 

I don't get it. 

Haven't any of these people ever changed their minds about anything? Or grown 
as a human being such that they are no longer the same self who said the 
previous, seemingly contradictory thing? 

To be ashamed (or feel the need to sham others) over a self saying something in 
the present that contradicts something that same self said in the past seems to 
imply a belief that it really is the *same self* in both cases. How sad. 

I mean, am I supposed to feel ashamed that I say something this week that 
contradicts what I said last week? I would think that I should be ashamed of 
the opposite -- that I am the same self today that I was last week. That would 
imply a lack of spiritual progress -- a kind of stasis of self. Not my notion 
of walking a spiritual path.

Then again, I've walked that path with teachers who could blast you through a 
dozen different states of attention in as many minutes. Say or write something 
in one of them, and you'll find that it's not true from the point of view of 
the next. In such environments, one can develop a somewhat laissez-faire 'tude 
towards the concepts of reality and truth. Which of these different states of 
attention -- subjectively as different as walking from Adventureland to 
Tomorrowland at Disneyland -- is real? All of them were, in the moment, and 
from the point of view of the self who perceived that moment. Which of them is 
truth? All of them were, again from the point of view of the self who perceived 
that moment.

From the next state of attention, point of view, and self...not so much. 

No harm, no foul in my opinion. Then again, I don't believe in the notion of a 
fixed self. I am more comfortable with the metaphor of a fluid series of 
selves, that flit across the Self for either short or long periods of time. As 
I look around the world, I perceive that some people believe that their self is 
kinda fixed because they've been stuck in it for some time. In some cases, for 
years. Back in my hard core Tantra days out in the desert, I couldn't deceive 
myself into believing that I was the same self for more than a minute. The 
selves just flowed, and then flowed away. 

I don't see that I owe any allegiance to anything said by any of them. That was 
then, this is now. 
 

 I think you are confusing self with Self.

I don't know if anyone here watched it but it was quite good and 
funny. TM folks might like the conversation at the 20 minute mark 
where Keiser is trying to get Brand to talk more about his spiritual 
direction.  To his credit Brand never mentions TM once (also note the 
Sanskrit tattoos on his right arm).


Those not familiar with Max and his wife Stacy who co-hosts the show, 
Max was a computer programmer who designed the Hollywood Stock 
Exchange.  He has a rather cynical and geeky wit about about geo 
economics and comments on economic events that Stacy, a former 
Hollywood reporter, brings up.  The show is hosted from London where 
Max and Stacy now live.


And like I mentioned on RT you can also just download the show.  There 
is a down arrow icon right next to the "share" icon in the upper left 
corner.  Click on it download though it may launch the video in the

I mentioned this movie back then because it was shot entirely with sub 
$5000 Panasonic HD camcorders and it got some notoriety for that too.  I 
also liked it because it held more true to form about what the music 
industry and writing songs was about.


I would suspect that "Wolf Creek 2" would stress the bejuzuz out of most 
of the folks here except for us die hard horror fans and tantrics.  But 
I watched it on Friday night.  It's a sequel to another film about a 
serial killer in the Australian Outback. It's very well played and no CG 
for the special effects but done the old fashion 1970s way.


Also probably too much full frontal for most here with "Fractured" 
starring Callum Blue ("Dead Like Me") about a guy who has no memory of 
his past and sets out to find it.  Both these too offerings are on 
Netflix WI where I've also been enjoying the Belgian series "Salamander."

low-budget gem from Ireland, featuring real-life singer-songwriters 
Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová. It's about a guy and a girl (named 
Guy and Girl in the credits) who meet on the streets of Dublin where 
he's busking. They discover that they share a love for music, and 
begin to collaborate writing songs that tell the story of two people 
meeting, falling in love, and then telling their story by writing 
songs about it.


It's very low-key, and pretty damned charming. It made 36 Top Ten 
Films of the Year lists in 2007. To really appreciate it, you have to 
one of those people who can actually hear song lyrics as they're sung 
and understand them, because as much of the story is told in them as 
is in the dialog, but if you can do that I think you'll enjoy it. 
Here's the song that caught my attention over dinner, with enough 
clips from the film to serve as a trailer:

I discovered this movie because I heard a song from it on a friend's iPhone 
playlist, played as background music during a dinner party. The song was so 
lovely that I had to find out where it was from, so I looked up the movie on 
the IMDB and discovered that I wasn't the only person who noticed it; the song 
won the 2006 Oscar for Best Original Song.

There are some people one meets on the Internet who seem to have a 
negative relationship with contradiction. They hate being caught 
saying something that contradicts something they'd said earlier, and 
with the same fervor with which they leap at the throats of others who 
they think they've "caught" in a similar contradiction.


I don't get it.

Haven't any of these people ever changed their minds about anything? 
Or grown as a human being such that they are no longer the same self 
who said the previous, seemingly contradictory thing?


To be ashamed (or feel the need to sham others) over a self saying 
something in the present that contradicts something that same self 
said in the past seems to imply a belief that it really is the *same 
self* in both cases. How sad.


I mean, am I supposed to feel ashamed that I say something this week 
that contradicts what I said last week? I would think that I should be 
ashamed of the opposite -- that I am the same self today that I was 
last week. That would imply a lack of spiritual progress -- a kind of 
stasis of self. Not my notion of walking a spiritual path.


Then again, I've walked that path with teachers who could blast you 
through a dozen different states of attention in as many minutes. Say 
or write something in one of them, and you'll find that it's not true 
from the point of view of the next. In such environments, one can 
develop a somewhat laissez-faire 'tude towards the concepts of reality 
and truth. Which of these different states of attention -- 
subjectively as different as walking from Adventureland to 
Tomorrowland at Disneyland -- is real? All of them were, in the 
moment, and from the point of view of the self who perceived that 
moment. Which of them is truth? All of them were, again from the point 
of view of the self who perceived that moment.


From the next state of attention, point of view, and self...not so much.

No harm, no foul in my opinion. Then again, I don't believe in the 
notion of a fixed self. I am more comfortable with the metaphor of a 
fluid series of selves, that flit across the Self for either short or 
long periods of time. As I look around the world, I perceive that some 
people believe that their self is kinda fixed because they've been 
stuck in it for some time. In some cases, for years. Back in my hard 
core Tantra days out in the desert, I couldn't deceive myself into 
believing that I was the same self for more than a minute. The selves 
just flowed, and then flowed away.


I don't see that I owe any allegiance to anything said by any of them. 
That was then, this is now.

most goodies, whether it's*tax cuts* for the rich, *free* health care or an

Acquiring wealth and power calls for a specific skill-set and interest, that is

So, can we honestly say that those who wish to control us, are simply each one

 I can't think of anything more amazing (or important) than exploring other 
planets. Amazing because of both the conceptual the technological leap. Think 
about what we had to work out about the moon before we tried to go there, 
temperature extremes, radiation dangers, and that car we took was designed to 
work in a gravity lower than that of Earth - is that clever or what? We don't 
know what else we might invent from space exploration, things that might come 
in useful in our day to day lives.
 

 And then there's actually getting there, the math involved in piloting a craft 
away from our usual reference points had to be thought up from scratch. The 
power needed to escape gravity had to be exactly known or we might have never 
got out of the atmosphere.
 

 And then there's the knowledge gained, things we would never have known about 
what outer space is actually like. Conjecture is one thing but actually going 
there!
 

 And it's important because we will die on Earth if we don't escape and there 
is no time like the present for doing that. No point waiting for someone to 
invent warp drive, let's go now and develop further with the inevitable 
increase in knowledge we gain from experimenting.

 You've got to remember that ISIS is more radical than al-Qaeda.  They're 
spreading chaos now in Lebanon as we speak.

 However, there are some people who believe that the Sunnis are just using ISIS 
as a marriage partner of convenience for the sake of taking control over Iraq 
as Saddam did in the past.  Once the Sunnis are in control, they will throw out 
ISIS from power.

 The Kurds would be foolish to be satisfied with just controlling the oil 
fields in Kirkuk.  ISIS is vulnerable now since they're busy attacking Baghdad. 
 If they attack ISIS from the north, I believe ISIS will disintegrate and flee 
into the wilderness.

 Similarly, Assad would be wise to attack ISIS from the west for his own 
survival.  So, IMO the militants have put themselves into a corner of 
destruction and defeat.  The virulence of ISIS will eventually bring about its 
own death just as cancer cells are attacked by antibodies in the human 
physiology.

 Heard something watching the France24 channel last night - the statement being 
that ISIS, wanting to establish a true Islamic state, is not interested in 
taking all of Iraq, content instead to consolidate their current gains. Makes 
sense - the country was designed by the Brits to always be tearing itself 
apart,  anyway, and ISIS doesn't want the burden of holding all the tribes 
together.

 I agree somewhat with your assessment about the Syrian rebels.  The USA should 
not aid them since they could be allied with ISIS in the long run.  But Obama 
may be using a CIA assessment about the dynamics in Syria which we are not 
privy to. 

 Independent of Obama's decision, it's definitely to Assad's advantage to get 
rid of ISIS now while they're busy attacking Iraq.  He could and should attack 
the supply route in Syria for the ISIS militants in Iraq.  Once ISIS is gone, 
IMO Assad could retain his power.

 Indirectly, the Iraq government would gain as well.  But I don't believe 
Maliki is competent to run the Iraqi government.  In fact, he is the most 
likely reason why the Sunnis and the Kurds don't want to cooperate with the 
present Iraqi government.

 However, I believe the Kurds will attack ISIS eventually from the north for 
their own preservation.  If they let ISIS take over Iraq, the Kurds will 
eventually be a target for subjugation by an Islamist caliphate if the 
militants are in control.

   Although not allies in the past, Syria, Iran and the USA appear to have a

in jyotish seems to apply here which is: the enemy of your enemy is your 
friend.  The enemy in this case is ISIS.  Any questions?

 It looks like Obama wants to help the Syrian rebels who are attempting to 
overthrow Assad. If the rebels win in Syria, the ISIS will probably take over 
the entire country and get access to a lot of high-powered weapons. I'm not at 
all sure sending aid to the Syrian rebels is a good idea - what if it 
backfires? It's beginning to look like Obama does not know what he is doing. 
Foreign policy seems to be not his best talent. His entire Middle East plan is 
in shambles. What else can he do to screw things up? Go figure.

 WASHINGTON —T he White House on Thursday proposed a major program to train and 
arm moderate Syrian rebels, in a significant expansion of the U.S. role in a 
civil war that officials fear is bleeding into Iraq and across the region...
