This TM policy represents a major re-think around mental well-being and TM. In initiative this evolved of a necessity in response to what was a growing public scrutiny of mental health in the meditating community of Fairfield, Ia. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,

[FairfieldLife] Atheists old and new

New Statesman has a review of a new book that argues that atheism has a long history stretching back to the Ancient Greeks so isn't the product of modern science its current advocates maintain. The review was mostly favourable but did point out that atheists of old were far from being the

[FairfieldLife] Re: Atheists old and new

S3, This is an interesting point in comparing atheism to MMY's teachings. However, the comparison is misleading since the objective of transcending is to attain unity with the Universal Intelligence or the Unified Field. As I understand it, atheists do not believe in such intelligence or

[FairfieldLife] Re: Atheists old and new

Well, To have 'faith' in the Unified Field by virtue of spiritual experience would not necessarily be a 'theism'. Different than 'belief' it could be is just how the watch mechanism works as fluctuating Being in experience. Transcendental meditationists for instance, transcendentalism,

Of course they have. You ask what kind of person, would go off and do that? Even dress the part to get to go along to war? Someone yearning of adventure, an itching to get to see. On similar impulse and calculation, I know someone, a young girl who dressed the part of a young boy to be

S3, As I understand it, there are several degrees of atheism. There are the scientific types like Richard Dawkins and the nihilist types like Camus. Even Dawkins thinks that he could be considered as an agnostic, and not as an atheist. But Shelley does not sound like an atheist. He

Several women... over thousands of years! Wow! Yes, women did follow the armies, as late as the American civil war but you might check out  what their purpose was. It wasn't just as nurses. It was more of an *economic* benefit. Women have never served in a combat role in any wars that I'm aware
