dear Dan, further south on the east coast, the rite of passage involves spending a summer working at Ocean City, MD. I had the perfect job, 5 pm to midnight. I was on the beach all day long and got home just as the parties were beginning. That summer a tornado hit Ocean City, making landfall in only 2 places: the Sandpiper Restaurant which lost its rooftop rooster; and our place, which lost its roof!

[FairfieldLife] Elders-in-Transition and Sad Departures of Old Meditators from Fairfield
Elders in transition.. Also some older TM elders who had moved away recently “to be with children” elsewhere out in the world have moved back to the community here in Fairfield. The Domes and the larger meditating spiritual community that is Fairfield, Iowa are hard to just replace elsewhere out in the world. Certainly the context of the larger spiritual community that is the meditating community is manifest and real here in meditating Fairfield after 40 years of making community here. Is hard to replace that just anywhere.. -Buck in the Dome Ebb and flow of elders in transition.. I can think of five people in recent weeks, older now, old time long time Fairfield meditators who just recently moved away from Fairfield to live closer to their kids and grandchildren somewhere else. A sad departure of old friends and campaigners. This is happening demographically everywhere but it is especially painful to witness when they are your friends and our old meditators going off to a dependent life somewhere else. “The county isn't simply a stereotype of Florida, where in just 15 years, one in four residents will be 65 or older. It's a peek into the not-too-distant future of the nation, where the number will be one in five” -Buck Resolutely in the Dome

[FairfieldLife] Meditators in Life V. The New York Miss America
Dateline Fairfield, Iowa: Yes, the simple life. “Plain Living and High Thinking in American Culture”. Likewise, there is a whole class of meditators here in Fairfield, Iowa who live quite rich and well without or with little debt as a long-term strategy in life to be able to have had the time and resources to pursue the spiritual practice of life. I call them the “quiet ones”. They are the modern American Transcendentalists of an old tradition living well as quiet counterpoint to so much materialism in the world otherwise. You would never know how well they live unless you know them because they do not necessarily drive the fancy high-end car or live in the fancy high-end SV home or pursue the rat-race life of material beauty pageantry. They have rectified their lives long ago to be sanyasis living well in a modern world.

In apples down to 20%, so that we need now 5 apples to give our body the medicine, what keeps the doctor away. but who will eat just every day 5 apples and many people even could not afford it but with the vedic agriculture it is possible to improve the qualities of apples back up to 100% as it was before, and even more.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Race the Tube
Hey Dan, based on a few posts exchanged with you so far, and my general propensity to make mountains out of molehills, I am working on a premise - See what you think... About the similarity of New York City, and a very natural environment - Why living in both, is sustainable. I think the key, is diversity. Most people get that relaxed, ahhh I am in nature feeling when in natural surroundings, the hills, the beach, Hawaii, Florida, even in a park. Yet, through your experience and so many others, there is a *natural* sustainability, also, to living in the big apple. My premise is, that the diversity there, with its unimaginable multitudes of every culture, art, music, film, finance, food, fashion, architecture, and everything global, while remaining vital and dynamic, linked in so intimately with the infinity of humanity, that it becomes the same nourishing experience, long term, as a place in nature, say a house by a lake. So many new yorkers have been there for generations, and love it - you guys are the most passionate about your city, hands down. So, the means are different, but the environment for thriving and growing up whole, is just as available in new york city, as it is in a purely natural and 'satvic' environment. The silence is just as available and thriving, too, in the apple. Your thoughts?? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, no_re...@yahoogroups.com wrote : Share fleet, By now both of you have made efforts to clarify Bhairitu's snark.

About the similarity of New York City, and a very natural environment - Why living in both, is sustainable. I think the key, is diversity. Most people get that relaxed, ahhh I am in nature feeling when in natural surroundings, the hills, the beach, Hawaii, Florida, even in a park. Yet, through your experience and so many others, there is a *natural* sustainability, also, to living in the big apple. My premise is, that the diversity there, with its unimaginable multitudes of every culture, art, music, film, finance, food, fashion, architecture, and everything global, while remaining vital and dynamic, linked in so intimately with the infinity of humanity, that it becomes the same nourishing experience, long term, as a place in nature, say a house by a lake. So many new yorkers have been there for generations, and love it - you guys are the most passionate about your city, hands down. So, the means are different, but the environment for thriving and growing up whole, is just as available in new york city, as it is in a purely natural and 'satvic' environment.

Wikipaedia (colors added by Me): The ancestry of Vladimir Putin has been described as a mystery with no records surviving of any ancestors of any people with the surname Putin beyond his grandfather Spiridon Ivanovich. His autobiography, Ot Pervogo Litsa (English: In the First Person),[18] which is based on Putin's interviews, speaks of humble beginnings, including early years in a communal apartment, shared by several families, in Leningrad. Some researchers speculate that Putin´s ancestry might be linked to Putyanin clan, one of the oldest clans in the Russian history with links to all the royal families of Europe.[24]

Re: [FairfieldLife] My take on Waking Up by Sam Harris
Vipassana or mindlullness is simple concentration on the breath with the goal of calming the mind. The problem is the will-to-believe: if you don't believe in the enlightenment tradition, you might as well take a nap on the bed, and just try to relax and count sheep. When you take Buddha out of the meditation you are left with just a relaxation technique. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, curtisdeltablues@... wrote : M: Hey Richard. I am a fan of naps too but don't you find that meditation is a different mental state than simple relaxation? I can go along with it being a different neurology that might be a good thing without buying the whole hype package. You are still trying to sell me a package - that there's a TM and I'm just not buying it the snake-oil anymore. We are all transcending even without a technique. And, we are all meditating - when you take out the woo woo in meditation, you realize that everyone meditates. Meditation is simply thinking things over - there's no different mental state - there's only one single state of consciousness we all share - there's no you to meditate. It's all one. Barry already shot down the levels of consciousness theory. And after a nap is my favorite time to meditate so I must be looking for something else. It has already been established by Vaj that TM is just another form of napping. All this means is that if you feel you need to nap some more after napping, then you are not getting the rest you need. The immediate benefit of how it feels to meditate or how I feel right afterwards can be enough motivation to do it for me. According to Harris, the purpose of mindfulness meditation is well-being and to awaken to reality - thoughts are fleeting - there is no thing that is permanent. Meditation is based on thinking - being mindful is thinking. Even lucid dreaming is just thinking. There is no higher reality than the realization that self-consciousness is the ultimate realization. Now I am not signing up for any retreats with lots of mediation, I have too many better things to do with my time, so maybe that is where the belief would have to kick in. You might consider getting out more and Ann might consider doing some shopping in town - that's all I'm saying. Just think it over. Without going into details I believe that both practices lead me to the same place mentally. I think the mindfulness meditation has an edge in less unwanted side effects than TM for me, and it seems a bit more efficient. I am not in a position to judge which is better or even what that concept would mean in terms of meditation. I believe neuroscience may sort this out someday, but we are a long way from enough information to draw broader conclusions. Till then I say to each his own. Meditation of any kind is nice to have in your human tool kit. (But go easy on the Kool Aid.) I have a bias toward meditation taught without the heavy belief system baggage of TM. I don't think any of that is either helpful or intellectually supportable outside the context of historical interest. Same goes for the Buddhist beliefs and assumptions. As modern people we should admit that we really don't know as much as these traditions posture by assumption about the states reached in meditation. We have an obligation to be more honest about what assumptions we are taking on faith upfront. To stick with any practice you have to have some assumptions. What they are based on is where our intellectual integrity rubber hits the road. People who want to make claims that their internal state is better than mine seem like real boors to me no matter what tradition they come from. If it is so wonderful in there then express something creatively brilliant and I will give you props for that. The section about the relationship with the brain and the concept of self is a fantastic condensation of neuro-research as it applies to our sense of self. It challenges a lot of preconceptions, although I believe it still falls a bit short of Sam's conclusions from it. The science is still young and speculation is still high. But the intellectual challenge of deciding for myself what the research means to my views was fantastic and thought provoking. Finally I come to the part I disagree with Sam most on: his assumptions about the value of the altered states brought about through meditation. I like meditation and feel it has a personal value in small doses. I am less enthusiastic about the extreme form of immersion both Sam and I have gone through in different traditions. You have to be pretty far down your glass of Kool Aid to even want to subject yourself to that kind of exposure. It is both founded on assumptions, and also stokes the furnace of generating more of them. At best it is finding out what can happen to your mind under such extreme conditions, and at worst it is causing you to be altered in a way that is not good, but we

---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, jedi_spock@... wrote : I agree that ranking 'levels of enlightenment' is bogus. I wonder where he got that idea from? The propensity for numbers is one of the hallmarks of Indian philosophy. One of the oldest Indian doctrines is the Samkhya on which is based Yoga, two of the Six Systems. The term Samkhya pertains to number - a radical dualism, three constituents, and thirty-two tattvas. This is explained pretty well in MMY's CBG. But in fact, the different levels of consciousness are enumerated in the Mandukya Upanishad - waking, dreaming, deep sleep, and a fourth - the turyia, a transcendental state. But, it's not just the inner mental aspect of life that the ancient Indians made great progress in. Don't forget that the ancient Indians had discovered the ratio of pi, the circumference to diameter ratio, from paridhi vyas anupati, over a thousand years before Pythagoras. Apparently the ancient Indians invented the so-called Arabic numbers. and Arab historians themselves have always acknowledged the numerals' Hindu origins. Making people talk too much about their experiences is also a bad idea. It can make a person lose focus and perspective. So that's your experience. A true guru's job is only to direct and not lead. He is a teacher and not a leader. A guru is a teacher and a teacher is a guru - if you learn something from someone or if you believe someone - you are a learner and a believer. I agree with Vaj that MMY did do damage in that sense. You are not making any sense - what damage?

Some of the Scottish shows have been good. But then the UK does have some stinkers. Hinterlands was unbearably boorish. I made it through the first episode and gave up after a half hour of the first.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: The real reason Scots said No to independence
Being a true conspiracy theorist I was listening to Alex Jones this week and was amused at the kerfuffle between two of his UK guests. One was Scottish John, a country western musician who does a promo for the show and Lord Monckton, a British politician and frequent guest on the show. Monckton called Scottish John a nut case for favoring independence (John had appeared a couple days earlier). Poor Alex was caught in the middle. It's not so much that the show is about conspiracies but that it is good radio and this was one of these moments.

Re: [FairfieldLife] My take on Waking Up by Sam Harris
The section about the relationship with the brain and the concept of self is a fantastic condensation of neuro-research as it applies to our sense of self. It challenges a lot of preconceptions, although I believe it still falls a bit short of Sam's conclusions from it. The science is still young and speculation is still high. But the intellectual challenge of deciding for myself what the research means to my views was fantastic and thought provoking. On Thu, Sep 18, 2014 at 1:56 AM, TurquoiseBee turquoi...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife] FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com wrote: I wound up feeling that Sam has his own optical blind spot about self. I get the feeling that he is FAR more influenced by the dogma that was presented to him in his early Advaitan and Dogzchen training than he lets on, and that he personally feels *very* strongly that the feeling of 'having a self' is *lesser* than the feeling of 'not having a self.' Me, I see them both as feelings, with no hierarchy in sight. I think that one of the disservices he may be doing to meditation newbies is to instill in them a feeling that they're not doing meditation right unless they have this mystical feeling of 'no-self' that he places on such a pedestal. I don't see it that way. *Apparently Barry doesn't realize that he just posted an argument for subjective idealism. T**he mystical feeling of having a self is the woo woo described by Sam Harris. **Go figure* *Another word for self is spirit - that's where the phrase spiritual life originated: the notion that humans have an eternal spirit or self that is a separate soul-monad that never dies and is reborn.* *The dogma is that we are a separate self and an eternal spirit-soul. * *The purpose of mindfulness is to demonstrate through experience that there is no underlying permanent entity called theself. You are just a bundle of material impressions with a consciousness of your own existence, or not.* ** Finally I come to the part I disagree with Sam most on: his assumptions about the value of the altered states brought about through meditation. I like meditation and feel it has a personal value in small doses. I am less enthusiastic about the extreme form of immersion both Sam and I have gone through in different traditions. You have to be pretty far down your glass of Kool Aid to even want to subject yourself to that kind of exposure. Love this! I've missed your colorful worldly spiritual It is both founded on assumptions, and also stokes the furnace of generating more of them. At best it is finding out what can happen to your mind under such extreme conditions, and at worst it is causing you to be altered in a way that is not good, but we don't even know all the implications of yet. Certainly the recommendation from the hoary past don't intellectually cut it for me. That has the epistemological solidity of Dungeons and Dragons role play games. Sam's description of being caught up in and identified with thoughts as suffering and experiencing the illusion of the self as freedom seems unwarranted to me. And to me. The most egregious thing about the book from my point of view is that he seems to be making a STRONG case for believing/experiencing that one 'has no self,' but he never presents any *benefits* of either believing or experiencing that. I come away not convinced he's ever achieved an experiential 'no-self' state for more than a few moments himself. I think he's passing along former teachers' feelings about this supposed state rather than his own experience with it. Only when the woo woo is removed will you realize the all-pervasive oneness of everything - we are connected,just like Indra's Net. The idea that you are a separate self is just an illusion not supported by either logic or reason. If you had a self you could see it and describe it to us. The dogma is that you were indoctrinated nto believing in a separate soul-monad. Remove the woo woo and you realize that karma connects us all. Completely agree about the suffering thang, BTW. It bugs me about Buddhism, and it bugs me about Sam's Neo-Buddhism. The experience of having a subjective self is *NOT* the same as suffering in my book, and I chafe when I hear someone talk as if it is. *It bugs you because of your basic misunderstanding of Buddhism. It is not about YOU, Barry, or YOUR suffering or not - it's about suffering anywhere at any time for anyone. It's all about your level of compassion. * *No matter how good you feel about your self and your material wealth - there are untold millions of souls out there suffering at this very moment. You can relish your own happiness and enjoy your good karma today, but so long as anyone is suffering, only the selfish will remain in a state of ignorance and fail to realize the laws of karma.* ** It reminds me of Maharishi's condescending letter to the peaceless and suffering humanity in its presumptions. They both should just speak for

Monckton called Scottish John a nut case for favoring independence (John had appeared a couple days earlier). Poor Alex was caught in the middle. It's not so much that the show is about conspiracies but that it is good radio and this was one of these moments. I had to google Monckton, seems to me that you can keep him over there if you like.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Syrian Rebels, IS in a Pact
I'm not exactly sure who's saying *what* around here either. However, I don't expect anything significant to happen with ISIS until we have a president that will listen to his military scientists, his top generals.As long as we have a *community organizer* ignoring the best advice of military scientist and advising them what they can do, based on his political agenda, the generals will have their hands tied and will, most likely, have limited success at best, dragging this conflict out for an indefinite length of time and at *who knows what cost*. Nobody wants to end up at the gates of hell. Just send them (ISIS) there. BTW only an idiot telegraphs to his enemies what he will and will not do, unless he's a liar. Then nothing he says can be believed.

[FairfieldLife] Fwd: My experiences of higher states of consciousness [1 Attachment]
Forwarded from: David Orme-Johnson davi...@earthlink.net Date: Fri, Sep 19, 2014 at 2:36 PM Subject: My experiences of higher states of consciousness Dear Colleagues, Here is my second “research” report on my experiences on the Invincible America Assembly, where Rhoda and I have spent the summer in pursuit of enlightenment. For those not familiar with these terms: · A “sidha” is one who practices Maharishi’s TM Sidhi program, which comprises a set of techniques from Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. Sidhi means “perfection” and its purpose is to integrate different sensory, cognitive, and other abilities with pure consciousness; · “Brahman” literally means “Big” or “Totality” in Sanskrit, and is another name for pure consciousness. It is held to be the transcendental basis of the universe and is called by different names in various cultures, as pure existence (Sat), pure consciousness (Chit), and Bliss (Ananda) in the Upanishads, as Being in various sectors of Greek philosophy, as the Tao in Taoism, as the unified field of natural law, etc. Enjoy! --- Wide Angle Lens David Orme-Johnson, Ph.D. 9/17/14 Sight. When I look at things these days I am very much aware of the totality of the scene as well as the main area of focus. I see the trees, the leaves, the flowers or whatever I am looking at in clear focus, but everything else in my field of vision is also very present. Focusing on one thing, the figure, no longer tunes out everything else, the ground. The figure and ground are both experienced in terms of an all pervading blissfulness that resonates with my inner being, which is so beautiful as to melt my heart and stop me in my tracks. I have to be careful that I am not seen as wandering around looking at everything saying “WOW, look at that” with tears streaming down my eyes. Taste. Another delicious example happened the other evening when I spread a cracker with almond butter and raspberry jam, and then put a grape on top and took a bite. At first my awareness was flooded with a medley of different flavors and textures being churned about, but very quickly the non-changing continuum of Bliss came into awareness, permeating all the various sensations but unmoved by all their activities. As the process of chewing refined the mixture more and more and all the different ingredients were no longer distinguishable from each other, they as if transcended to become so intensely blissful that I could not refrain from swallowing. Are we eating Brahman? I replicated this experiment several times with different ingredients--strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and honey along with the crackers and almond butter--and always got the same result, so it is independent of any particular flavors, although sweetness potentiates it and honey does it best. Of course, further research is warranted. Sound. I also like to close my eyes during musical performances to shut out distracting visual input and to allow my mind to settle down to hear the music from the transcendent. From there I perceive the music as manifesting out of a silent ocean of consciousness, weaving intricate tonal patterns and harmonies. When I have the intention that this be the musicians’ best performance ever, I perceive that they all begin to play together with even more precision and perfect coordination as a single unit of Being rather than as individuals. Three of my musician friends have independently told me that that is exactly what they experiences when playing for TM and sidha audiences. The other evening, we were at a concert of a very young band and they asked that people move up into the first row because it gave them energy. So we did and as I was listening to them from the transcendent experiencing their lively guitar, violin, base and singing as a continuum of scintillating Being, I had the thought of wrapping a sheet of Being around them, they were so cute, being some of the meditator children. I experienced them as an incredible wholeness of contrasting instruments, vocals, counterpoints, improvs, hooks and riffs. They commented what a great audience we were and how much they loved playing here in Fairfield. The audience was full of sidhas, and when they had us clap along or sing along, it was uncanny. One Being, not a room full of people, clapped and sang in perfect unison, uninhibited, full of enthusiasm and love. Wide angle lens as Brahman. Listening to an outdoor concert, with eyes closed, settling into the silence as usual, I noticed a progression from focusing on individual instruments or focussing on just the melody line, to expanding the focus to encompass all instruments, the melody, and harmonies, everything about the music at once. But then I noticed that I was attempting to tune out the talking of people around me, the night sounds, and other sensations such as the breeze, various smells and so on. So I opened up my focus to

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Syrian Rebels, IS in a Pact
Mike, It appears that Obama wants the other Arab nations in the Middle East to put their troops in Iraq to defeat ISIS. This strategy may not world since these nations don't want to spend their own money and their troops for a campaign that might last for years. IMO, Obama is just waiting it out until a new president in the US is elected to take over this problem. But in the meantime, he will not send any American troops back in that troubled land.
