 —Are Friends careful to live within the bounds of their circumstances, and to 
avoid involving themselves in business beyond their ability to manage; or in 
hazardous or speculative trade? Are they just in their dealings, and punctual 
in complying with their contracts and engagements; and in paying their debts 
seasonably? 
 

 —Do Friends endeavor, by example and precept, in plainness of speech, 
deportment, and apparel?
 

 —Do Friends maintain a testimony against trading in goods taken in war; and 
against lotteries.

 And where any give reasonable grounds for fear in these respects, is due care 
extended to them?
  —Is care taken to deal with offenders seasonably and impartially, 
and to endeavor to evince to those who will not be reclaimed, the spirit of 
meekness and love, before judgment is placed upon them?

meditation, which is actually researched more than TM. The proprietary nature 
of TM teaching seems to restrict the possibilities of more directly comparative 
studies. The studies on TM are also mentioned.

 Archer Angel writing:

 That is rather interesting. It confirms my experience with TM versus other 
types when I started. 
 

 More recently however the experience is they are all similar but then my mind 
has undergone a lot transformations in the last few years or so. 
 

 The main difference now is the mind is far more silent even in activity so I 
can just sit and be silent even without meditating. 
 

 Basically as time goes on the contrasts of experience that a non-meditator or 
a new meditator experiences become less and less, although I think the time 
interval for this to occur varies a lot among individuals.
 

 My experience with the movement is they are not keen on making comprehensive 
comparisons with other meditations.
 

 From a scientific point of view, enlightenment is kind of undefined, 
consciousness is undefined, so designing an experiment that investigates what 
meditation is supposed to accomplish is currently impossible.
 

 So the tests are more superficial, such as levels of rest, or mental focus and 
some chemical changes in the blood.
 

 It is clear these other meditations do sometimes have a profound effect and 
result in enlightenment and that some take to them more easily than TM, but I 
do not think this is the majority case.
 

 I recall a newspaper article long ago where the author mentioned that people 
practicing TM found more success than with other types they tried. That was the 
case for me.

That's where compassion comes in.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Did the Rev. Graham Mean that Trump is a Godsend?

[yifux...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

Yes, but only as a protypical "Cyrus" character as one who ( many Jews and 
Christians believe this such as Huckabee, Franklin Graham, and Pastor Jeffress, 
etc). somehow under the guidance of the Holy Spirit was guided to help the Jews 
return to their homeland the rebuild the Temple.  Thus, even though King Cyrus 
of Persia wasn't a believer in the Hebrew God YHVH, he directly facilitated 
what many Jews and Christians was the fate ordained by God.  He therefore is 
preserved as an important figure leading through a chain of events, to the 
rebuilt Temple even though he wasn't one of the "flock".  He was a facilitator 
whom various persons such as Franklin Graham was somehow influenced by God.
 ...
 But the real bottom line with Graham is Trump's promise to stack the Supreme 
Court with Justices more aligned with Graham's Pro Life stance. Even though 
Trump is not regarded by the Evangelicals as one of their own, he is viewed by 
some as a "type": of King Cyrus - a facilitator.
