If someone attacks you, and you feel that you can smile, it means you have established a fair amount of non-attachment and inner calm, everything else is likely to be delusional. Good points all. Especially about how the person *claiming* exalted experience -- in an honest, unfettered environment such as FFL -- very, very quickly reveals whether he has actually *achieved* non-attachment and inner calm, or is delusional. As you suggest, the bottom line in such matters is quite obvious. Anyone who gets pissed off and angry because people don't automatically believe him when he claims to be enlightened...uh...isn't. So far, literally everyone who has attempted to claim such experiences here on FFL has proven themselves by their own actions to be delusional. They have undermined, cheapened, and spat upon the very *concepts* of enlightenment and self realization by trying to pass off their petty egomania and narcissism as representative of these states. And they've been busted on it. One would think that true spiritual seekers would notice this, and be *grateful* for honest environments like FFL, in which spiritual pretenders and charlatans can be revealed more quickly. We may be rough around the edges, but when some piece of shit tries to pretend to be shinola, we make sure they don't get away with it. :-)

Thanks, interesting about Beal.

Hard to know or speculate about this Beal obit from a distance. In Fairfield, Ia. we have had a series of open meetings as discussions and communal trainings this last year both in town and on campus speaking to depression and suicide awareness as communal mental health trainings. Depression and suicide are problems everywhere and yet in our organization and movement communities certainly we have our peculiar cultural aspects with it in character. ..

However, because I find the *organization* so FUBAR, for my own peace of mind, I choose to keep my distance from it, otherwise I would get kicked out. Quite frankly, I find the TMO to be the antithesis of what it claims TM does for the individual. It's not efficient, creative or compassionate. That is a façade. I've found TM leaders to be spiritual bullies and power trippers. Oh Maharishi wouldn't want that (I know because I'm in perfect tune with his thinking). I find them lazy(oh Nature will organize that) and their fragile little egos get offended easily if you offer constructive criticism or a better idea (oh, you're just being negative). Don't rain on my parade attitude. I Like TM and think of the results in longer terms and I love Maharishi, although I realized he is just a man with human faults and not the God I once seemed to worship as. As for the TMO, I find it to be an embarrassment. I think the straw that broke the camel's back for me was telling me I had to give the TMO another $2,000.00 to keep teaching, assuming I wanted to. I will not be black-mailed. I was never re-certified. I hadn't taught since the mid seventies and had no plans to resume teaching and I'd be damned if I was going to give them $2,000.00 to maintain credentials I had no intentions of using, at least for the time being. I looked at it as blackmail. Their services are no longer needed by me as well. FFL 413630 BTW, Bruce Beal, who was the Houston Center manager at one time, demanded that I make a monthly contribution to the center from my Job at UPS. He kept me from getting the Sidhis for years because I wouldn't supplement his income from mine! Others gave contributions to build an PK clinic and were to receive PK discounts. The clinic was never built and money never returned. They were thieves as well. Oh shit, you got me started! Let it go and take it as it comes, let it go and take it as it comes , let it go.

I am using HERE on my Galaxy S4, and it works like marvel, I used it for car navigation here in Europe, and also for walking in a foreign city. You can download maps for free, it's really great. The only thing, which didn't work so well, is public transport in combination with walking. There I think, they are not giving enough choices, but if you download a local map of the Underground, in combination with HERE it works well.

Yep, they just need more discipline in their lives to get their meditation in.

Sure, it's great that Deepok Chopra is able to get up at 5:00 in the morning to sit in silence, but let's be honest; most of us aren't going to do it Does that mean we're not as spiritual as those who do? That we won't be able to reap the benefits of a more spiritual life now? As we are right now? Do we have to wait for our next lifetime when we've somehow figured out how to be less busy and overwhelmed? When we have time to sit under the Bodhi tree all day and contemplate life?

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: On visiting FFL from The Peak
And, you can tell this how from reading messages left on a bulletin board? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb@... wrote : Especially about how the person *claiming* exalted experience -- in an honest, unfettered environment such as FFL -- very, very quickly reveals whether he has actually *achieved* non-attachment and inner calm, or is delusional. Apparently you have failed to ever fly or levitate, like you claimed your spiritual teacher did. We pretty much concluded that you had not *achieved* human levitation - just from reading your messages posted to FFL. A few of us don't even believe that Rama himself ever levitated. It's just stuff you made up to make your spiritual experience sound more exalted. Go figure. From: aryavazhi no_re...@yahoogroups.com Let me tell you first, that I do understand you [about being able to theoretically speak safely about spiritual experience in a safeguarded protected way]. But in all of this, there is one point that puzzles me, and that is, that all the spiritual masters I know about, and value somehow, an example would be Anandamayi Ma, do not recommend to discuss spiritual experiences (not to speak that such a discussion is on a public forum that everybody can see). Have you never read this or come across it? It is especially not recommended, when an experience is fresh, or not yet established. I think this is also the view of the TMO, you could actually try to check with the course office, or Bevan, Hagelin or Tony, or maybe Alex's OTOH, if an experience is established, there is no real need to talk about it. If you have an experience others don't have, the may get frustrated or jealous, or compare with themselves, and well, everybody has different experiences. A sort of a competition may start, which may be subtle and not obvious, and there is usually an ego involvement. On the top of it - even worse - if you have some guy, who's had it all, and starts commenting on your experience, that it means such and such, and it's level 2, and he already knows level 11, he will create some mental framework around your experience, which is counterproductive and limiting. This is the worst I can imagine, and in the end, your own subtle experience is used for the self-aggrandizement, of some guy. The more general problem is, that the ego will try to appropriate anything for it's own sustenance. So, I therefore agree with Xeno, that FFL, is a more honest environment. If you really feel like, you can talk about experiences in more general terms, and it's actually the hallmark of a really true experience, that nothing can disturb it, and that you are not touched by negativity. If someone attacks you, and you feel that you can smile, it means you have established a fair amount of non-attachment and inner calm, everything else is likely to be delusional. Good points all. Especially about how the person *claiming* exalted experience -- in an honest, unfettered environment such as FFL -- very, very quickly reveals whether he has actually *achieved* non-attachment and inner calm, or is delusional. As you suggest, the bottom line in such matters is quite obvious. Anyone who gets pissed off and angry because people don't automatically believe him when he claims to be enlightened...uh...isn't. So far, literally everyone who has attempted to claim such experiences here on FFL has proven themselves by their own actions to be delusional. They have undermined, cheapened, and spat upon the very *concepts* of enlightenment and self realization by trying to pass off their petty egomania and narcissism as representative of these states. And they've been busted on it. One would think that true spiritual seekers would notice this, and be *grateful* for honest environments like FFL, in which spiritual pretenders and charlatans can be revealed more quickly. We may be rough around the edges, but when some piece of shit tries to pretend to be shinola, we make sure they don't get away with it. :-)

Yep that's what we do around here.
Just forgive theirancestors for their ignorance and poor judgment about the
larger progressiveflow of equal rights for all in nature of this larger
country.
You speak in ignorance of the collective vibe around here. There are still
people who think that the secession was a damn good idea and that folk like
Stonewall were patriots, Southern patriots.
More to the point, the politicians are scared to death of ending such
anachronisms for fear of incurring the wrath of ignorant red neck voters.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Yee Haaa!
The fifth Commandment of ten says to honor thy mother and they father so as to
have long life in the land that I have given to you. That is what Confederate
Memorial day does. As for *not* understanding the constitution correctly,
Jefferson Davis was never tried for treason for fear that the Supreme Court
would rule in his favor, that Southern states had the legitimate right to
secede( see the preamble to the Declaration of Independence) and a war that
took the lives of hundreds of thousands, both military and civilian, was
unconstitutional and would have been more than the nation could bare while
trying to heal, especially with a possible guerrilla insurgency looming. Yes,
mistakes were made on both sides of the Mason/Dixon line. We've let go the
mistakes of our ancestors and honor their courage and bravery to defend their
homes and country.

Photo: Reuters Published: 4:13 PM, May 11, 2015 Chennai - An Indian court on Monday overturned the graft conviction of powerful politician and former movie star Jayalalithaa Jayaram, setting the stage for her return to power in the southern state of Tamil Nadu. Celebrations erupted outside Jayalalithaa's party office in the state capital of Chennai, with supporters dancing, distributing sweets and garlanding pictures of their leader. We welcome our leader back, said party spokesman Rabi Bernard. The court order proves that she is an honest leader. Soon she will be our chief minister. Jayalalithaa, a former chief minister of Tamil Nadu and chief of her AIADMK party, was jailed last year for holding 530 million rupees ($8.7 million) in unaccounted cash and property. She stepped down following the verdict by a trial court, appointing a loyalist supporter to the post. But on Monday, a Karnataka high court scrapped the disproportionate assets case against her. The reason for throwing out the conviction was not immediately clear from the judge's statement, which television channels described as being ten seconds long. With her conviction set aside, Jayalalithaa can run for election when the state picks a new legislature next year. She also wields influence in national politics, with her party holding the third largest number of seats in the lower house of parliament. The portly, fair-skinned Jayalalithaa has a huge fan following and has endeared herself to millions of voters by distributing free laptops, kitchen grinders and fans. REUTERS

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Yee Haaa!
I know,I grew up with it. As one guy who was being asked about the Redneck Shop in the town where I grew up, Laurens, SC said: I thank the South was right back then (referring to the Civil War) and I thank the South is right now today. In case anyone wonders what the Redneck Shop was, here is the Wikipedia entry. Too bizarre, especially when you consider the ownership deal: Redneck Shop From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Redneck Shop was a white nationalism and neo-Nazi clothing store in Laurens, South Carolina, which sold T-shirts, bumper stickers, and Ku Klux Klan robes, among other things. The building also featured a Klan Museum in a back room. It was decorated with posters of President Warren G. Harding, whom some allege was a Klan member, though many historians refute this.[1][2] Building ownership The shop was located in a downtown Laurens building that formerly housed the Echo Theater. The building is currently owned by the Rev. David Kennedy, a black civil rights leader and Baptist pastor. The shop has acquired a great deal of publicity due to this unusual arrangement.[3] The building was formerly owned by Michael Burden, who was himself a Grand Dragon in the Ku Klux Klan. However, Burden found himself impoverished after leaving the KKK. Burden then approached Kennedy and apologized for his racist past, agreeing to sell Kennedy the deed to the Redneck Shop with the provision that Burden would be allowed to run the shop until his death. Kennedy accepted the deal.[4][3] In 1996, a white man from West Columbia, South Carolina, drove his van into the Redneck Shop as a protest against the store's racism. Kennedy said that he later told the man that, while he obviously does not agree with Howard's views, he does not feel that violence is an appropriate response.[4][5] As a meeting place for white supremacists In addition to selling merchandise, the Redneck Shop had also been used as a meeting place for white supremacists; in 2006, it was the headquarters for the Aryan Nations' World Congress. Also, in 2008, neo-Nazi John Taylor Bowles utilized the building as the headquarters for his 2008 presidential campaign.[4] From: dhamiltony...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife] FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, May 11, 2015 2:42 PM Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Yee Haaa!

Culturally its seems that it proly could not have happened as the Am. Civil War was generation-ly still too close in time and too raw up to that time for some people's figuring out their familial transference of their own ancestral causing or fighting of the civil war.

However, Burden found himself impoverished http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty after leaving the KKK. Burden then approached Kennedy and apologized for his racist past, agreeing to sell Kennedy the deed to the Redneck Shop with the provision that Burden would be allowed to run the shop until his death. Kennedy accepted the deal.[4] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redneck_Shop#cite_note-counton-4[3] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redneck_Shop#cite_note-horrors-3 In 1996, a white man from West Columbia, South Carolina http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Columbia,_South_Carolina, drove his van into the Redneck Shop as a protest against the store's racism. Kennedy said that he later told the man that, while he obviously does not agree with Howard's views, he does not feel that violence is an appropriate response.[4] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redneck_Shop#cite_note-counton-4[5] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redneck_Shop#cite_note-cbs-5 As a meeting place for white supremacists In addition to selling merchandise, the Redneck Shop had also been used as a meeting place for white supremacists; in 2006, it was the headquarters for the Aryan Nations http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aryan_Nations' World Congress. Also, in 2008, neo-Nazi John Taylor Bowles http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=John_Taylor_Bowlesaction=editredlink=1 utilized the building as the headquarters for his 2008 presidential campaign.[4] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redneck_Shop#cite_note-counton-4 From: dhamiltony2k5@...

MJ, yours is a fair and perceptive comment down at the bottom on this, yep I know the problem. I traveled, camped, and rode cavalry along with secessionists for years in civil war re-enactments and heard all their states rights stuff to justify enslaving people. Was like going to Klan recruitment meetings throughout the hobby for some groups within the hobby. It is particularly bad at re-enactments hosted more in the South and border States. Sometimes they have troubles fielding a convincing re-enactment for lack of people who will turn out as Union re-enactors. It can be really rough wearing blue even just for re-enactment. Up North re-enactors frequently volunteer to change costume/sides to balance things and help make an event happen. Folks are much more likely to get in to the heads of

Dear Committee Members; The focus of the next working meeting will be on implementation of the stage plans of the various subgroups. [currently 11.11.2014] We are now at the point of developing an implementation of each of the goals. Come join us. We want you to join us. This is being sent this out to all so you know what the Shifting Cultural Attitudes Subcommittee is working on. This 'Cultural Group' is working through a process of creating a Strategic Plan so we can take all the wonderful ideas we have been banging around and create an actionable plan out of them. Find attached an explanation of writing SMART goals and a template for the team leader to fill out for the goals your group were working on during Tuesday night's meeting. When the team leader has entered the information into the actionable plan template, please forward to Ken Daley for inclusion in the Strategic Plan. At previous Alliance working meetings two working subgroups formed and met — the “MUM/MSAE” group and the “Outreach and Education” group. Those two groups met again last week. Thank you to everyone in those groups for stepping up and contributing in this way. Please contact your group liaison to check on if you are meeting this coming week, and on what work needs to be done between the sessions. Template Explanation: Writing SMART Goals STEP 1: Understanding the nature of SMART goal writing There are several variations of the mnemonic SMART. For the purposes of our Mental Health Alliance exercise we will use the following. S pecific M easurable A ttainable R elevant T ime Bound Specific: The more specific and detailed your description, the greater the chances of realizing your goal. Measurable: In the specific statement from above you stated the outcome you were hunting for. Now is your chance to find measurable steps to attain your goal. Attainable: Calculate your ROI (Return On Investment). Are the effort and time you devote to the execution of this goal worth it? Relevant: Will the achievement of this goal puts you closer to your even larger scale goals? Is this important to our mission? Time Bound: You need to put deadlines and a linear sequence on the tasks needed to reach the goal. Nothing will kill a project quicker than not being able to see an end point to achieving the goal.

You seem to be kind of confused. You realize that Jayalalithaa Jayaram is allied with the Indian National Congress, right?

Photo: Reuters Published: 4:13 PM, May 11, 2015 Chennai - An Indian court on Monday overturned the graft conviction of powerful politician and former movie star Jayalalithaa Jayaram, setting the stage for her return to power in the southern state of Tamil Nadu. Celebrations erupted outside Jayalalithaa's party office in the state capital of Chennai, with supporters dancing, distributing sweets and garlanding pictures of their leader. We welcome our leader back, said party spokesman Rabi Bernard. The court order proves that she is an honest leader. Soon she will be our chief minister. Jayalalithaa, a former chief minister of Tamil Nadu and chief of her AIADMK party, was jailed last year for holding 530 million rupees ($8.7 million) in unaccounted cash and property. She stepped down following the verdict by a trial court, appointing a loyalist supporter to the post. But on Monday, a Karnataka high court scrapped the disproportionate assets case against her. The reason for throwing out the conviction was not immediately clear from the judge's statement, which television channels described as being ten seconds long. With her conviction set aside, Jayalalithaa can run for election when the state picks a new legislature next year. She also wields influence in national politics, with her party holding the third largest number of seats in the lower house of parliament. The portly, fair-skinned Jayalalithaa has a huge fan following and has endeared herself to millions of voters by distributing free laptops, kitchen grinders and fans. REUTERS
