Re: [FairfieldLife] This is what Amerika's gonna be...
That's been a point of mine for awhile - that it's a decision, a very personal decision, that the woman makes. It's not an easy one—not simply a cold, heartless, decision. A hard decision. A decision made as her hormones are ramping up to high levels and changing all the chemistry, let's remember. No doubt there are spiritual and emotional consequences that have to be personally worked through. It's not one where the woman should be condemned and vilified and accused of *murder.* Give me a break! Fear leads to procrastination and procrastination can lead to death. Most of the images shown are of "later-stage" (later than the 6 to 8 week optimal time) abortions, used to support the "pro-life" movement and rabid evangelists. The earlier the better for all involved and my belief is, that if we "decriminalized" it as a society, women would be better off and wouldn't have to face the kind of shame and blame that can lead to death. The best option is always to avoid pregnancy if not wanted, but that doesn't always happen in real life. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,wrote : I guess early on the fetus is just a "tissue", and really, I am not sure what the term is when abortions are legal, but many of the images of abortions I have seen don't look like just a mass of "tissue".

Of course the DNA isn't an exact match to the mother or father! Still an unborn potential, though and under the purview of the mother. That's the way God intended it, so to speak, and that's the way it is. We have animal bodies; many animals cull out the weak to die, reject their offspring after birth! 1/5 of pregnancies (or higher) end in miscarriage before 7 weeks. Spontaneous abortion. Not an act against nature. No woman should be forced to be a mother in today's world. We will continue to disagree.

Re: [FairfieldLife] This is what Amerika's gonna be...
When Maharishi first came to the US, he had a *quaint* little saying that charmed everyone. "Nobody has the right to suffer". Aw, isn't that sweet, he doesn't want me to suffer and he has something to relieve mine. Later among his closer devotees, his teachers, he would say "all suffering is caused by sin". Put those two sayings together and you have "nobody has a *right* to sin". Maharishi also talked about dharma and adharma.When a nation is following dharma it prospers and the people tend to be happy, suffering is minimal. When adharma sets in, chaos begins to develop. Even George Washington was aware of this principle. He said in his inaugural speech that our nation could only expect the propitiation of God, his blessings, if we follow his natural order. Violate them and we lose his blessings. We used to be *one nation under God* receiving His blessings. But in the sixties, atheism had it's first victory by removing any mention of God from the public square. Removing any mention of God from schools and it spread out. We started becoming a secular nation. We started killing and even condoning the killing of our next generation. We sacrificed our next generation for our own comforts. If you didn't have kids, you could have more for yourself. Fifty- five million children have been aborted since Roe v Wade. Our nation is so divided with arguing and bickering that it may not last much longer. We are in a state of adharma,and receiving the consequences of it. From a Jude-Christian perspective, we are under God's judgement. Too many people want to protect their *right* to sin and avoid any sense of judgement about it and all call it *freedom* or even *freedom from religion*. Enjoy your *rights* now because the times ,they are a changing.

"Apples and oranges" in the sense that there is no way to even try to tie a decision on whether or not to bring a new life into the world to a decision by a crazed psychopathic madman to kill human beings already here! Sorry, can't get there. Yes, most agree that humans have "free will" - and free will is involved in both those decisions - if that's what you mean. If you want to keep the "blame" game going in your head, here's an idea. Focus on how states could legislate male reproductive rights. Creative guy that you are, you should be able to come up with something! It's not like women are experiencing "immaculate conception," after all. I hate to tell you, and perhaps I'll suffer in hell for awhile for this, but I don't really consider abortion even a moral issue. I believe in the woman's right to choose, period. There is no way on God's green earth I'm going to anyone, let alone a male dictate that decision for me. I will bear the ultimate responsibility for my decision, either way. Therefore, it is mine to make. I think abortion should be legal, safe, affordable and de-stigmatized. If a woman of any age, for any reason, isn't ready to have a child, and finds herself pregnant, than she should be allowed the option to abort and it should be a medically safe procedure.

Re: [FairfieldLife] This is what Amerika's gonna be...
I guess early on the fetus is just a "tissue", and really, I am not sure what the term is when abortions are legal, but many of the images of abortions I have seen don't look like just a mass of "tissue". I am not disputing a woman's right to choose, but it appears to often come with emotional turmoil. A close associate of mine recently had an abortion. It was, in my opinion the right decision and she felt good about it, but now, several months later, she is struggling a bit emotionally. I would also have to say, that I don't think a fetus, from a spiritual perspective, is likely to have a "better luck next time" attitude about the whole event. I believe there is a behind the scenes scenario that plays out whereby a soul prepares to reincarnate. At what point that soul may enter, or take ownership of the fetus, I don't know. Perhaps, if I had a better understanding of that more esoteric aspect of "it", I would have a better idea of what, if any, are the unseen implications of an abortion. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,wrote : Go ahead and stand on your soapbox, Mike.

Simply the potential - many things go wrong. Ultimately, Mike, you blame the mother in all cases—whether she aborts in accordance with her free will and belief system and/or economic or married state—or, if she has the child, and finds herself unsupported in a myriad of ways and in need of help. You kick her and her child both, who you choose to legitimize as a child and revere only in the "unborn" state (kids are so much easier to deal with when unborn!) to the curb, and then sit on the sidelines and judge and mock and resent having any responsibility for as a member of our society and go even further and suggest she should get her tubes tied!

That is a step in the right direction, though you are hanging out with the wrong deity if they consider abortion to be murder. You say the mother is being selfish. Fine, let her be selfish. There is no way to consider the termination of a being that cannot live on its own, "murder". It has never been so defined. Not in the courts, nor the holy books of any religion,
[FairfieldLife] Re: Change of Leadership
With Bevan out, while looking at fundamentals there is quite a lot of re-thinking that is descriptive about what (who) we are as a community and as to how and where we are going. A fresh start or re-fresh for the Fairfield meditationist community, a potential is great one way or another. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,wrote : FW: His letter sounded to me like a sincere attempt to make a gentile transition. The BOT was definitely involved, and it's SOP for the executive committee of a Board of Trustees to make decisions regarding senior personnel. Most of the Board, in most universities, have little to do with managing the institution, and are present mainly for their social status, their own financial support, or their ability to raise money. This kind of thing (selection process for key people) is rarely practical with a full board of 34 people, most of whom are far from Fairfield, although I'm sure they will all vote on it in June. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : FW: Bevan's letter makes it quite clear that he is technically nominating John as President, and that he is confident the Board will confirm that nomination. He also indicates that RajaRaam has also approved of these plans. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : It will be the start of a long process to correct so much damage that has been done in 35 years. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : by e-mail: It's certainly good news, and I don't doubt Raja Hagelin will do great things.

This spread as some earth-shaking news yesterday. Everywhere you’d go people were exclaiming. There is quite a lot of wonder and hope for this change. The Board of Trustee should make it effective immediately and not just let it wait until the fall to come in to effect.

I will be devoting my time to my duties as Prime Minister of the Global Country of World Peace, and as International President of Maharishi Universities of Management. I am proposing to the Board of Trustees that Raja John Hagelin be appointed as President of the University. He is tops in knowledge, both in science and Maharishi Vedic Science, a charismatic and inspiring figure, and has proven his administrative and marketing skills by increasing the number of people in the US learning Transcendental Meditation tenfold in just a few years. He has agreed that he is willing to do this, and I feel sure that the Board will support him in this role (he is already Honorary Chairman of the Board of Trustees, and the University's most senior faculty member, researcher, and public speaker). He has expressed his admiration for the existing faculty and administrative teams at the University who have vast experience, and feels with their help he will be able to manage everything well. He also says he already has ideas how to promote the University more, and attract more students, including building a closer relationship between Maharishi Foundation and Maharishi University of Management, and calling upon the skills and contacts of Dr. Bob Roth to raise the University's profile. This will also include greater promotion of the unique knowledge offered by the faculty of the University at special conferences Raja Hagelin will organize. He has also mentioned his desire to be able to consult with me on any issues that may come up, and I of course am very happy to do that. We will also bring out this change in the leadership during the Commencement ceremony on June 18th, without taking too much time. I do feel strongly that this is a great step of progress for Maharishi University of Management, and will lead to the faster expansion we all desire. Raja John Hagelin and I have had a chance to discuss this with Maharaja Adhiraj Rajaraam to gain his perspective, and he feels this is a very good move. Thank you all for your kindness and loving support through all the years! You have done and are doing so much for Maharishi University of Management and the whole world!!! Please continue your support and expand it if you can! With Best
