Posters here should be allowed to have an argument and express themselves 
forcefully, in their own styles. In this case, it's not as if it is a daily 
thing, as with the posters that were kicked out. Our Canadian friend is one of 
our best contributors and should not be threatened with expulsion.

[FairfieldLife] Books, For What They are Worth

2016-01-14 Thread dhamiltony...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]
I came to Plato early on. Still have my copy of The Republic from my high 
school days. Om, the Good, the Good. LB gave me a copy before he passed away of 
The Trial of Socrates.  It is on a shelf nearby.  
 

 And I had that edition of The Upanishads too from way back, though in recent 
years it seems to have gone off to another bookshelf with an offspring of mine. 
 The B.Gita in a sequence way back at a time became more formative for me. 
 

 The recent translation of The Upanishads by the movement had potential except 
that they rooted it twice in that manipulative translation of the Saha Nav 
lines that they have used to control the TM.org for so long.   Sad that they 
ruined the authenticity of their work by keeping to that narrow use of the 
work.  
 

 The Simple Life, Plain Living and High Thinking in American Culture,  by David 
E. Shi is a book about spirituality and communal groups in America like ours 
that I still refer to.  It has travelled with me for years.  I recently found a 
copy at Revelations, the used bookstore here in Fairfield while digging around 
there for X-mas presents for folks this last year.  
 

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

 Yes, I have that edition of the Upanishads too, trans. by Alistair Shearer and 
Peter Russell. In fact, I have two copies, so if anyone would like one, just 
let me know. 

Lear is ruthless, I agree. You have to be in the mood for it. I actually prefer 
to read it than see it performed. Someone here in Fairfield produced an 
abridged, two-hour version of the play a couple of years ago. It was 
surprisingly effective.

 Re "The Upanishads as one of the spiritual books that has most influenced me .

 I'm with you there. I've got a pleasing, old edition translated by TMers Peter 
Russell and Alistair Shearer. It's also a photo-book with evocative 
black-and-white prints. 
 Out-of-print now so I shall jealousy guard my copy. 
 

 I had previously read the Juan Mascaro translation you like. It is one of only 
two books I ever read through while stoned on hash. The other was Hermann 
Hesse's Journey to the East. 

Re "Tolstoy's War and Peace, King Lear, Whitman's Leaves of Grass, the poetry 
of Blake.":
 

 Whitman/Blake were big for me too.
 

 King Lear I could never ("never, never, never, never, never") get. Too grim. 
Just shows how shallow I am. I'm more Midsummer Night's Dream and Romeo and 
Juliet.
 

 A BBC five-part series on War and Peace is currently getting rave reviews. The 
cast is great, the scenes spectacular but it's pretty "one-dimensional". 
Downton Abbey on steroids.

In regards to the last sentence, that rural Indians are lazy and  dull, 
Maharishi used to say the same, at least in the early years. I think it 
probably goes a lot deeper than that. M used to say that when they were 
building Shankaracharya Nagar that he had to stay on top of the workers, 
telling them what to do etc. because as soon as he walked away they would sit

  it appears that India had two Golden Ages (the "original" Indus/Sarawati 
civilization starting about 5,000 years ago (or before), lasting until the 
drying up of the Sarawati River, 2000 BCE.  Then, another Golden Age would be 
from about 300 CE to 1000 CE which included the Chola Dynasty.  At this time, 
India's net economic production was about 1/3 of the world's, and Hindu culture 
spread to other parts of Asia and Africa.  It appears that repeated Muslim 
invasions contributed to an overall decline after about 1200 CE.  UCSD 
Cognitive Neurologist Dr. V. S. Ramachandra puts the blame a the feet of the 
British, who started with rather benign East India Trading posts in many Indian 
cities but eventually took over with military and political power, lasting into 
the middle of the 20-th Century. Further google searching may turn up 
definitive clues.Here's a rather funny quote from the above website: "Most of 
the rural people are lazy, dull, and reluctant to work. Hence, they rot in 
poverty". (but unfortunate if true.  I've never been to India in the current

Re: [FairfieldLife] Time for Meditation

 Well, one could make a thesis that the general lack of human contact with 
domesticated large mammals in the post-modern era is an exacerbating element in 
the evident current of incivility in humanity. Having the opportunity to 
compose ones self to be successful around large mammals is always an exercise 
in all that is good in being human. 
 That laboratory of cultivation of humanity has almost disappeared from the 
start to the end of the 20th Century, a nearly lost schooling in humanity. 
There is just not a lot of room in a modern world in the spirituality that can 
come from the caring for large domesticated mammals who had formerly come along 
with us as a mutual cultivation that has existed for millennium.  -JaiGuruYou

"Getting while the gettin's good" would be my usual answer but these 
were both cancer deaths.  We're being polluted by our environment and 
there are cures for cancer but they are mostly preventative.  Also the 
extremes seasons (winter and summer) bring deaths because they stress us 
the most.

 Well, one could make a thesis that the general lack of human contact with 
domesticated large mammals in the post-modern era is an exacerbating element in 
the evident current of incivility in humanity. Having the opportunity to 
compose ones self to be successful around large mammals is always an exercise 
in all that is good in being human. 
 That laboratory of cultivation of humanity has almost disappeared from the 
start to the end of the 20th Century, a nearly lost schooling in humanity. 
There is just not a lot of room in a modern world in the spirituality that can 
come from the caring for large domesticated mammals who had formerly come along 
with us as a mutual cultivation that has existed for millennium.  -JaiGuruYou
 

 You know it. The interaction with any animal species is priceless and a gift. 
I couldn't raise animals for meat, however. It seems so much of a betrayal to 
house and nourish and nurture them only to slit their throats later. But at 
least if you can do it at home it saves them the agony of the travel with all 
of the fear and uncertainty.
