Re: [FairfieldLife] The Sun is Good for Clear Vision

2017-03-11 Thread jr_...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]

 

Bhairitu,
 

 I'm celebrating spring today, instead of the official date of March 20, 2017.  
Now, I've found the painless solution to improving my eyesight.  And after 
eating at the Indian restaurant, I walked around the Polo Field at the park and 
confirmed the the ayurvedic principle as stated below.  If it's vitamin D, I'll 
take it gladly and thank the Unified Field for it.
 

 The past month I've been taking the Muni train to go downtown on Sundays since 
I could not drive with vision problems.  Now, I'm confident to drive to other 
places I've missed for a few weeks.

 Brilliant. A fine extension of the scientific process (discourse). Thanks. 
I will forward a link to this to higher authorities for their review.

 Let's review some hypotheses and assumptions.
 

 1. In regard to "modern" scientific inquiry, we may be in agreement  that such 
methodologies are quite limited in scope, since there are vast bodies of 
phenomena beginning with simple psychic experiences that most people "believe" 
are true based on subjective experiences and the testimonials of others. This 
body of "unproved" phenomena extends into such areas as crop circles, alien 
appearances and abductions, cattle mutilations, Big Foot sightings, etc, and 
ultimately, the ME.
 ...
 2. Most profoundly and of great importance, is the nature of Gnosis 
(Self-knowledge of the Atman leading to complete Brahman realization). We can 
go back to the early Gnostics to see how this as a Movement gradually gave way 
to Dualistic dogmatic religion.  In the 20-th century prior to WWII, there were 
minor revivals such as the "I AM Movement".  After WWII, we have Yogananda, 
Kirpal Sing, Eckankar,, etc; but most important, MMY.
 Ultimately, we come across (through subjective experience,) the Self - Purusha 
and find a true Paradox:
 The Self (Purusha) is indeed "experiential" but purely so, and as such, is not 
by It's very nature objectively provable or demonstrable to others.
 Thus, in terms of the ongoing evolutionary development of mankind (Cf. MMY, 
Eckart Tolle, and others); the hypothesis has been promulgated that the long 
term "Salvation" of individuals and of mankind is innately connected to Gnosis, 
rather than the dogma of belief systems and dualistic religions.
 Thus, the only way to "prove" Purusha is to experience It for yourself; and a 
tipping point in evolution will occur when vast numbers of people simply 
"overpower": those endowed with dualistic perception alone. This is the 
hypothesis of Tolle's "Heaven on Earth" concept.  When large numbers of people 
are Self-aware, such Gnosis will simply take it for granted as being an 
intrinsic part of life, having no need for "modern science" to prove It's 
existence as the basis of reality.
 

 3. OTOH, the ME is a SHAKTI-basic phenomena.  Among those practicing TM for 
any significant length of time, a type of perception awakens in which Shakti as 
a subtle type of energy creeps into overall awareness, with a "Shakti-meter", 
allowing people to discriminate between various people and places radiating 
that Energy.  In a sense, Shakti can be considered a subtle type of "field". 
Thus, the TMO's use of the term would be appropriate.
 

 4. Unfortunately, at this state of modern scientific inquiry, there's no 
empirical evidence for the existence of
 . higher dimensions beyond our materialistic, naturalistic world.  The fact 
that may people have experienced contact with Angels, the dead, and 
interdimensional phenomena is a moot point. Such personal testimonies maketh 
not what's acceptable as "science". If this were the case, nut cases claiming 
Alien abductions and others such as Scientologists AND the TMO would (and 
have!) attempted to make a spurious and dishonest claim for their own versions 
of what "should" be the true post-modern science.
 

 5. Factually, we are dealing with MODERN scientific methods, not such 
futuristic model of what science "should" be like. If that were not the case, 
the TMO would (and does), have their own make-believe version of science, the 
Scientologists theirs, and the UFO-ologists theirs..  Do I "believe" in the 
existence of Angels, interdimensional entities, and Aliens, as well as very 
common psychic experiences.  Yes!  But all such beliefs are moot.  There must 
be agreed-upon ground rules for exchanging information that conforms to 
accepted "rules" of science.  Do I "believe" that the ME exists?  Yes, but .
 

 6. There's no objective way in modern science to measure the magnitude and 
range of  the ME; and indeed, there's no SCIENTIFIC evidence for the existence 
of Shakti.  This fact alone invalidates all of the MUM research involving the 
ME, since the ME is a Shakti-effect, NOT an actual Meissner-effect.  The 
Meissner effect involves a real, observable form of material Shakti.  The ME is 
based on an UNOBSERVABLE (but feelable) form of Shakti not even recognized to 
exist by modern science.  Beyond this fact alone, all other considerations such 
as data analysis become secondary. Since the TMO can't prove the existence of

sufficient number of individuals are experiencing pure consciousness during 
group practice of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program, the field

 By listening to discussions about Bhagavàn, sitting in satsaïga, the

 Through satsaïga the human being turns towards the omnipotent, allcapable

statues and ornaments in the yard started to look clearer.  So, I drove my car 
to have lunch at an Indian restaurant a few blocks away and I could see well 
enough to drive through the streets fairly safely..
 

 So, I learned that being out in the sun doing some activity is good exercise 
and necessary to maintain good vision.
 

 This principle ties in with a certain eye exercise to improve vision.  The 
exercise is called the swing.  It requires one to swing the body back and forth 
with the legs as the center or the fulcrum of the swing.  This is supposed to 
improve vision which needs dynamic activity to engage the eyes with the 
environment.  IOW, being in a static position is not good for clear vision.
 

 So, IMO the sun is good for vision since it encourages the body to move around 
and engage with the environment.   However, the sun may not be as beneficial to 
lay outside to sun bathe. So there you have: the ayurvedic principle is very 
sound and practical.

I was thinking of Andrew Cohen and neo-advaitas you have had on batgap.  You 
kind of gave them their ropes to let them hang themselves.. A lot of spiritual 
ego by example.  

 This more recent thing I didn't get the name on.  The people sitting around a 
table at Revelations were being real guarded to not get anyone in trouble but 
it was an active concern of theirs. I was just listened some and asked 
questions a little and wrote some notes. It was interesting spiritual satsanga.

The process described is like what is taught in "remote influencing" as 
researched by people like Ingo Swann and his students as well as 
researched by the military.  And they warn against it because one could 
accidentally take on the bad traits of the target.  A lot of this stuff 
is actually very simple but people would have never thought to try it.  
It's true use was to help someone, generally helping them feel better.


These methods were not part though of my tantric training which used 
siddhis.  Influencing there was only to be used as a defense method.

 In the last couple of years I was glad for the insight which people here on 
FFL gave throughout in their critique and takedown of the ‘spiritual’ 
ND’edPersonality. Some of that insight was helpful in the process that brought 
the change of leadership to the University here. 

 In some of the discussion here on FFL it was pointed out that narcissists will 
fall down when their practical performance in life is actually looked at. 
..That organizations or groups can protect themselves from the ND’edPerson by 
having clarity in missions, job descriptions and performance evaluation. ..the 
bigger the narcissist the harder the fall that can come.  

 Performance is basically what turned the president here out in that case. What 
were more formative values to the group guided and prevailed in the process by 
looking at all the metrics of performance. It became pretty clear that a change 
of leadership was needed for the essential survival of the group.
