Re: [FairfieldLife] CDC: 59% of COVID cases are spread by people without symptoms

[Bhairitu noozgur...@gmail.com [FairfieldLife]]

I have been surprised at how many TM teachers I knew from Seattle who 
had moved to Fairfield and were often much younger than I have appeared 
in Doug's obituaries.  Myself, I never thought I would make it to this 
age and if I dropped dead tomorrow would feel that I did okay.  That 
however is the first step to developing longevity.

I don't think there is a Maharishi Kaya Kalpa but I do that some former 
MAPI teachers are teaching it.  It is the predecessor to ayurveda and 
has to do with developing longevity.  I've mentioned it before here over 
the years as being a simple process of reduction and tonification.

As for Indian gurus I have known some over the years who feel if the 
body is getting old and broken down then like trading in a old car it is 
time for a new model.

You'll be happy to know that the pandemic is over now that silly season 
is over.  Indeed it was much politicized including Amy Goodman at the 
opening for her Democracy Now! show over summer giving the daily covid

As I've said elsewhere what they should have done was convene a group of

Re: [FairfieldLife] The end of Yahoo-Groups !

[Bhairitu noozgur...@gmail.com [FairfieldLife]]

Verizon bought Yahoo in 2017.  They sold off portions of it but couldn't 
find a buyer for Groups.  As we all know Groups was quite buggy probably 
due to ad hoc spaghetti coding.  They appeared after they initially 
couldn't find a buyer spiffied it up but that still didn't help.

I liked Earl Kaplan's alleged experience with visiting India where he 
learned enlightenment wasn't such a big deal.  That's something I also 
learned on my visit there.  The TMO seemed to just kept raising the 
carrot to get more money.

[Bhairitu noozgur...@gmail.com [FairfieldLife]]

If you scroll down to the bottom of my post you will find my handle and 
email in the "posted by".  I'm not into absurd conspiracy theories like 
you mention.  It's usually just a difference of opinion that gets 
labeled as a "conspiracy theory" as a method for the poster to discredit 
someone.  The pandemic is a complex situation that researchers are still 
trying to figure out.  Some of us are along for the ride to see what 
they find and we don't want to rely on the mainstream "pop" media for 
that information especially when you can get it from the researchers 
themselves.

Re: [FairfieldLife] New York Times: College towns around America becoming coronavirus hot spots, including Iowa City

[Bhairitu noozgur...@gmail.com [FairfieldLife]]

Rick,
As you know the boys over on The Corner like to brand me a "conspiracy 
theorist" even if I'm posting actual medical information even if it is 
from Falci himself.  They're sort of a "lost cause". They even branded 
the "UnHerd" YouTube channel as a conspiracy theorist channel even 
though the interviewer, who is very smart, interviews scientists from 
Stanford, Harvard, Oxford and elsewhere. Some of them are Nobel Prize 
winners.  One Stanford social scientist recently interviewed said that 
US should have comprised a team of scientists instead of just a couple 
like Falci and Birx.  Of course knowing scientists that team would just 
be finishing up their conclusions. 

You seem think that conspiracy theorism is a mental health disorder.  
And I think that fearing conspiracy theories a mental health disorder.  
Some of us are amused at reading conspiracy theories and we take them in 
their context.  There is nothing wrong with speculation even if it is 
for fun.  Let's give the public a little more credit for sorting it out 
though I have my doubts about that given how easily they fell under the 
spell of government officials who are not even doctors.

Researchers are learning all kinds of things about this Covid-19 virus.  
One Oxford epidemiologist when interviewed on UnHerd when asked what was 
learned from this pandemic replied "that people die".

[FairfieldLife] Live TV version of Orwell's "1984"

[Bhairitu noozgur...@gmail.com [FairfieldLife]]

Or rather a kinescope of the live TV production from 1953 starring Eddie 
Albert and Lorne Greene on the CBS Westinghouse Studio One series.  It's 
basically a televised play so interesting to see how it was handled.  It 
would have been live on the east coast and they use kinescopes for other 
time zones.  Kinescope is a technique where a cathode ray tube (flying 
spot scanner) would expose 16mm film with with each pixel.  Each reel of 
16mm film (probably about 15-20 minutes) was then processed so it would 
be available for the next time zone.  It's a 50 minute production:

Re: [FairfieldLife] The old FFL mail archive..

[Bhairitu noozgur...@gmail.com [FairfieldLife]]

You probably should have moved FFL to Groups.io as many other Yahoo 
Groups did.  Unfortunately someone else took Fairfield Life as a Groups.io.

Verizon apparently didn't want Yahoo Groups to begin with and tried to 
sell it off with no takers.  Renovated but still no takers.  Now it is 
just an email group.

Funny thing is that the founder of Groups.io also started eGroups way 
back in the day which became Yahoo Groups.  Things have kinda gone full 
circle.

Willy has been posting there for years.  No Judy and Barry aren't 
there.  Yahoo Groups will be functioning as an email list but who knows 
how long that will last.  Many groups fled two or three years ago to 
other locations.

I think a lot "the elite" woke up and discovered there was too much

The problem is the movement failed to adapt with the times.  Do they 
still do seven steps like they did in the 1970s?  Back then it was not 
unusual for folks to go out to evening meetings and events. These days 
you do weekend courses  when people have time and not exhausted from work.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Impeachment Procedures could be started started against Trump.

Just about any astrologer looking at Trump's chart with Moon/Ketu 
conjunct would see he would not make a good political leader but the 
conjunction might be good for creativity as a game show host. By the 
time all is finished he won't be able to run in 2020 and probably will 
not still be in office.  But there's more going on than just Trump.  The 
chickens from the 2008 bank bailout are coming home to roost and they'll 
try to stick it to the middle class.

And you want to see an example of a US catastrophe, just look PG  
It's the largest utility in the US and too big for anyone to manage as 
they demonstrated clearly this last week.  I think they're begging for 
California to break them up so the execs can walk away and wash their

Re: [FairfieldLife] Smart Meters

[Bhairitu noozgur...@gmail.com [FairfieldLife]]

I've had a smart meter at the house for several years.  It was installed 
below the old meter at the side of the garage well away from living 
areas.  But it probably puts out less emissions than my wifi router. The 
good part of it is you get a daily graph of use in the monthly bill.  I 
do well particularly in summer because I have reflective shingles so AC 
use is almost non existent. I actually had a bill last year indicating 
"no payment due".  The shingles keep the house cool in the summer but 
not so good in the winter when they also keep the house cool. :-)

However the utility company itself, PG,  is in deep trouble. I think 
because it is too big for anyone to effectively manage and covers too 
many different areas that should have their own utility. The company was 
even convicted of causing deaths of some residents on the SF Peninsula 
from a gas explosion.  They have also been implicated as the cause of 
the Camp wildfire last year in California that made it as smoggy here as 
Beijing.

Re: [FairfieldLife] surprised it is in public domain

[Bhairitu noozgur...@gmail.com [FairfieldLife]]

You used the term "public domain" which generally refers to copyrights.

Mantras are published in a number of books.  The mantras in the video 
are for the general public.  Those need to be published. There is 
nothing that secret about mantras other than the ones that gurus may use 
for guru mantras.  Even there they may use mantras that have been published.

If your learning has only been from the TMO then it was very sheltered 
and limited.  Maharishi was not an acharya.  He didn't even hold a swami 
title which can be given in many traditions before even becoming an 
acharya.  An archaya can make advanced yogis and acharyas.

Look through your copy of the "Saundarya - Lahari" and see if some of 
those mantras are there.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: The Omkara

[Bhairitu noozgur...@gmail.com [FairfieldLife]]

Primarly Om is grounding but has an ether element to it.  What yoga 
(meditation) does is manipulate the autonomic nervous system.  There are 
mantras that calm the sympathetic system and even ones that stimulate. 
For instance mantras for kapha imbalance are stimulating.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: The Omkara

[Bhairitu noozgur...@gmail.com [FairfieldLife]]

Om is considered to be good for calming vata except it also evokes the 
ether element which is probably why it can make one withdrawn. So "Ram" 
is the mantra used for calming vata but I've never seen MAPI 
recommending specific mantras for the doshas.

There is also an opinion that om with a mantra centers the practitioner.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: JBP: why are there so few enlightened people?

[Bhairitu noozgur...@gmail.com [FairfieldLife]]

I think people are actually looking for saints rather than enlightened 
people.  And you don't automatically know all the vedic terms if you 
become enlightened.  I think too many people who learned TM are looking 
for something way more flashy while enlightenment may be right under 
their nose or maybe behind it.

So how are you doing with all this smoke?  The Bay Area seems very 
dystopian now.  We're getting particulate levels at over 200 in the East 
Bay.  To go outside requires a N95 rated face mask if you can find any.  
Many stores have been cleaned out of those.  I've also read that some of 
the smoke is reaching the east coast.

You would need a global dictator to make these things work.  Instead 
encourage a reduction in consumption.  People don't like to be told by 
the government how to eat or drink and they certainly don't like higher 
taxes.  You also need the medical industry to embrace nutritional 
consultation which isn't going to happen because it would hurt 
pharmaceutical sales.

Some people may need red meat to restore their health probably after too 
many years of being on an ill advised vegetarian diet. :-D

The US had a cheese glut this summer which was good for consumers. The 
nearby supermarket was selling Tillamook at $3 a package (usually 8 oz) 
so I picked up a package of extra sharp which rang up for $5.  I 
complained about the price because it was marked $3 on the shelf.  They 
came back and had removed the $3 price but had to give that price to 
me.  I explained that there was a cheese glut which I had read about a 
couple weeks earlier and I had bought the same package at another store 
for $3.  They looked clueless because these people never follow what is 
happening in the commodities market.  In fact they don't teach store 
staffs much at all about how retail works.

How are you going to get the sun do to that?  It's actually the key

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/oct/08/global-warming-must-not-exceed-15c-warns-landmark-un-report


snips


The world’s leading climate scientists have warned there is only a 
dozen years for global warming to be kept to a maximum of 1.5C, beyond 
which even half a degree will significantly worsen the risks of 
drought, floods, extreme heat and poverty for hundreds of millions of 
people.



The authors of the landmark report by the UN Intergovernmental Panel 
on Climate Change (IPCC) released on Monday say urgent and 
unprecedented changes are needed to reach the target, which they say 
is affordable and feasible although it lies at the most ambitious end 
of the Paris agreement pledge to keep temperatures between 1.5C and 2C.



“It’s a line in the sand and what it says to our species is that this 
is the moment and we must act now,” said Debra Roberts, a co-chair of 
the working group on impacts. “This is the largest clarion bell from 
the science community and I hope it mobilises people and dents the 
mood of complacency.”



At 1.5C the proportion of the global population exposed to water 
stress could be 50% lower than at 2C, it notes. Food scarcity would be 
less of a problem and hundreds of millions fewer people, particularly 
in poor countries, would be at risk of climate-related poverty.



At 2C extremely hot days, such as those experienced in the northern 
hemisphere this summer, would become more severe and common, 
increasing heat-related deaths and causing more forest fires.



But the greatest difference would be to nature. Insects, which are 
vital for pollination of crops, and plants are almost twice as likely 
to lose half their habitat at 2C compared with 1.5C. Corals would be 
99% lost at the higher of the two temperatures, but more than 10% have 
a chance of surviving if the lower target is reached.



“We have presented governments with pretty hard choices. We have 
pointed out the enormous benefits of keeping to 1.5C, and also the 
unprecedented shift in energy systems and transport that would be 
needed to achieve that,” said Jim Skea, a co-chair of the working 
group on mitigation. “We show it can be done within laws of physics 
and chemistry. Then the final tick box is political will. We cannot 
answer that. Only our audience can – and that is the governments that 
receive it.”



He said the main finding of his group was the need for urgency. 
Although unexpectedly good progress has been made in the adoption of 
renewable energy, deforestation for agriculture was turning a natural 
carbon sink into a source of emissions. Carbon capture and storage 
projects, which are essential for reducing emissions in the concrete 
and waste disposal industries, have also ground to a halt.



Reversing these trends is essential if the world has any chance of 
reaching 1.5C without relying on the untried technology of solar 
radiation modification and other forms of geo-engineering, which could 
have negative consequences.



Bob Ward, of the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change, said 
the final document was “incredibly conservative” because it did not 
mention the likely rise in climate-driven refugees or the danger of 
tipping points that could push the world on to an irreversible path of 
extreme warming.



At the current level of commitments, the world is on course for a 
disastrous 3C of warming. The report authors are refuseing to accept 
defeat, believing the increasingly visible damage caused by climate 
change will shift opinion their way.



James Hansen, the former Nasa scientist who helped raised the alarm 
about climate change, said both 1.5C and 2C would take humanity into 
uncharted and dangerous territory because they were both well above 
the Holocene-era range in which human civilisation developed. But he 
said there was a huge difference between the two: “1.5C gives young 
people and the next generation a fighting chance of getting back to 
the Holocene or close to it. That is probably necessary if we want to 
keep shorelines where they are and preserve our coastal cities.”



“Climate change is occurring earlier and more rapidly than expected. 
Even at the current level of 1C warming, it is painful,” he told the 
Guardian. “This report is really important. It has a scientific 
robustness that shows 1.5C is not just a political concession. There 
is a growing recognition that 2C

20 years ago we should have implemented a revenue-neutral, 
substantive, annually increasing carbon (GHG) tax which would have 
given strong incentives for reducing GHG emissions. Set at 
proper levels, that could have mitigated much of the dire climate 
problems we are now facing.


Since that was not done, now we need stronger action. I think 
GHG/carbon tax is the most effective primary policy. However, now both 
the initial level, and ramp rate, will have to be much higher than if 
set 20 years ago. And a significant portion of the revenue will now 
have to be spent on accelerated R, aggressive incentives for zero 
carbon technology adaptation, massive infrastructure changes to 
accommodate current and emerging climate change, and addressing equity 
issues stemming from climate disruption. And there will need to be 
strong mandates to complement the above with specific deadlines for 
100% renewable/non GHG power systems (like California just did, but 
with nearer term, and more universal timetables), 100% 
electrification of the transport system, transformation of

If a teacher is not making such claims, then validation is not an issue.

Using Batgap interviews as a large sample of teachers, most are making

It's kinda laughable to have the unenlightened make rules for the 
enlightened.  Yogis and Buddhist monks will certainly find it good for a 
laugh.


Music teachers often teach students that achieve far more in their 
careers than their teachers did.  Music teachers teach techniques and 
methods for achieving success in music.  Similarly gurus do nothing more 
than teach methods and techniques for achieving enlightenment.  AND they 
don't NEED to be enlightened to do so. You just need to know the 
techniques to teach.


No greater example of this than TM where teachers were given techniques 
to give many of whom were still experiencing "lots of thoughts" during 
TM and little enlightenment.  BUT they may have taught people who did 
begin having experiences of enlightenment.


I think Doug has it right.  Some of you are looking for saints not 
enlightened teachers.

A core ethical issue for the non-dual community is whether teachers 
are offering something of value, if they are delivering what they 
promise, and if they can speak with high veracity and confidence 
supporting these claims.  That is,


a) have they achieved the states and live the attributes that they 
claim to be able to teach others,


b) are they able to effectively teach others to attain them,

c) if so, what time frames are required, how much commitment is 
necessary (time and money), and


d) are all, or only a subset of students, able to attain these states.

It seems reasonable that there may be a correlation between teachers 
and organizations pursuing unethical actions and the degree to which 
they are more bluster than bliss, more talk than performance. 
 Addressing performance could in turn address unethical actors in the 
community.


A strong objective framework for evaluating a teacher’s attainments 
and their method’s effectiveness is testing and measurement by the 
tools of cognitive science. For example, a lot could be gained if the 
teacher, along with their top 10 or 25 students offered to undergo a 
standardized set of evaluation measures (fMRI, advanced EEG, blood 
work, comprehensive sophisticated batteries of cognitive tests, etc.) 
 While the results of these tests do not, at least per current models 
of consciousness, provide definitive proof of any Enlightened state, 
they can provide insight into whether the practitioners have achieved 
various markers of achieved by other advanced practitioners. And 
possibly exceeding thresholds or prior studies, and or novel brain 
activity or cognitive responses.


If on the other hand, the results of the test showed nothing special 
or unique of the normal non-practicing populace, one would question 
what the practice is achieving. If no change in brain, cognitive, 
neurotransmitter or other activity is observed, then claims of refined 
mental, cognitive or emotional capabilities would be in doubt.


I would think that a group called Science and Non-Duality would be 
aggressively seeking to validate non-duality states with 
state-of-the-art research (and help identify / weed out, 
non-performing teachers and organizations.) Yet I don’t see any 
research agenda on the SAND website. SAND or other non-dual groups 
could become a powerful conduit of advanced practitioners to the many 
university and research centers doing research on meditative methods. 
 How to facilitate and fund such research is a larger topic which I 
may try to address in a separate post.


At a minimum, core ethical values and codes of conduct revolving 
around full disclosure and a culture of transparency would be of 
value. Some useful areas of for consideration:


1)Encourage all non-dual teachers and organizations to provide 
evidence of the teachers’ attainments and the effectiveness of their 
teaching methods.


2)Guidelines as to what to do when witnessing or experiencing ethical 
breaches by spiritual teachers and/or organizations. Possibly 
implementation of hotlines or database of unethical reports.


3)Full disclosure of possible adverse effects of the practices.

4)Financial transparency. Ability to audit the financials.

5)Ethical considerations of requesting or promoting “Surrendering to 
the Teacher”


6)Disclosure (or some indication of) what’s in the back rooms

 (the esoteric teaching, the weird and wild stuff that may not become 
evident for several years after the student has made substantial time, 
effort, identity and financial investments in the teachings, 
practices, etc.)


7)Seva -- work/study/service practices.

Keep in mind that if everyone were to have the diet that it is right for 
their body then you would get a dramatic reduction in meat consumption.  
Vegan diets are only good for brief time as cleansing otherwise many 
people will develop anemia from them.   Vegan diets might be useful for 
reducing overpopulation though. ;-)

" 'A vegan diet is probably the single biggest way to reduce your 
impact on planet Earth, not just greenhouse gases, but global 
acidification, eutrophication, land use and water use,' said Joseph 
Poore, at the University of Oxford, UK, who led the research. “It is 
far bigger than cutting down on your flights or buying an electric 
car,” he said, 'as these only cut greenhouse gas emissions.' "


"The new analysis shows that while meat and dairy provide just 18% of 
calories and 37% of protein, it uses the vast majority – 83% – of 
farmland and produces 60% of agriculture’s greenhouse gas emissions."


"The new research shows that without meat and dairy consumption, 
global farmland use could be reduced by more than 75% – an area 
equivalent to the US, China, European Union and Australia combined – 
and still feed the world. Loss of wild areas to agriculture is the 
leading cause of the current mass extinction of wildlife 
."


" 'The report builds on recent scientific studies which show that 
soaring meat demand in China and elsewhere could tip the world’s 
climate into chaos. '


"Appetite for meat is rocketing as the global population swells and 
becomes more able to afford meat. Meat consumption is on track to rise 
75% by 2050, and dairy 65%, compared with 40% for cereals. By 2020, 
China alone is expected to be eating 20m tonnes more of meat and dairy 
a year."

Acid and alkaline pH balances.  Some people are actually TOO alkaline.  
Your blood pH only needs to shift a little to cause problems.  Much of 
this also correlates to how the autonomic nervous systems works.  It's 
possible to be too sympathetic dominant (metabolic syndrome) or too 
parasympathetic dominant (daytime sleepiness and lack of energy).  Also 
of course correlates to ayurveda and Chinese medicine.

out okay.


So I had to look up yesterday the paradigms behind "The Art of the Deal" 
and principally it is just blundering ahead.  Now I don't consider

Mastering siddhis is just one step along the path.  There are many

Sanskrit versions of the siddhis.  But enlightenment is the goal and 
some people accomplish that with just a little meditation.  TM is only

California I would take Biggs junction south all the way down to I-5 at 
Weed.  That took me past the road that went to Antelope. By 1989 I just 
took the freeway all the way down to I-5 Portland which cut about an 
hour or more off the trip.

it conjoins or aspects the Sun, Mar and Saturn taken as malefics.  
Interesting how well that seems to work.  One caveat is that it seems to 
work if you take the rate of progress around 0.08 of a degree a day and 
not the actual position.  That to me says that like I've thought they 
used the planets as a calendar not as an influence.  The actual thing 
they were looking at was the influence of the Sun and Moon on earth as 
well as the Earth's own cycles.  Jupiter's return is roughly 12 years 
and solar cycles are 12 years.

A class on music theory might help.  If you build a 7th chord on the 5th 
step of a major scale you get a dominant 7th chord.  In the C major 
scale that would be a G7 chord of G B D F.  The 7th is a minor 7th in a

Scandinavia tended to be more negative (thanks to the popularity there

I've also noticed that the asian / indian markets in my area, of which 
there is an abundance, don't carry the type that would be appropriate 
for a TM puja.  The stores in my area offer sticks that are just too

Any thoughts?

Any brand recommendations and on line source markets for good incense.

Not seen the recent videos of some of the people off the rails with

suspect some of these folks with hysteria are vegans so it's going to 
take a lot more than vata tea to calm them down.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Language and drumming?

[Bhairitu noozg...@sbcglobal.net [FairfieldLife]]

Trying scat singing to tunes.  The real process is getting what is in 
your head onto the keyboard or instrument.  Bebop is really more of a 
"feel" than anything else. There is a trick to leaving the end of a 
phrase on the offbeat which helps inspire the improviser for the next 
phrase.  Drumwise, improvising a solo on a keyboard can be compared to 
diddling over some scale tones.  On a dominant chord try a scale a half 
step above the major to get more tension and sound more jazzy.

If you played the drums, you should be able to play bebop music well. 
 From what I understand, one is supposed to play the chord tones on 
the downbeat, and the non-chord  or passing tones on the upbeat.  Rick

during solos.  However, this idea is opposed to the concept of 
appogiatura which requires playing non-chord tones on the down beat. 
 But a good musician should be able to use the appogiaturas like salt

Points regarding the Solar Eclipse on August 21

We have received several emails asking about recommendations from the 
Maharishi Jyotish^SM Council for appropriate activities during the 
upcoming solar eclipse on August 21.


Recommendations from the Maharishi Jyotish Council

*1. It’s recommended to not begin important projects or special events 
on this day, as Nature will not be as supportive.* The most 
life-supporting activities recommended during an eclipse are those 
which bring the attention inward.


*2. It’s better to stay inside during the time that the eclipse is 
visible where you are.* You can find out when that is by visiting 
www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/ 
 and 
entering your city and state. In Fairfield, it is from 11:45 am to 
2:37 pm.


3. According to the knowledge of Maharishi Jyotish, the planet Surya 
(Sun) is cosmically connected to digestive fire and Chandra (Moon) to 
the assimilation of food. *So it is recommended to not take food 
during the approximately 3-hour period from start to finish of the 
solar eclipse.*


Thank you to the Heaths, Frieders, and Isquiths in the USA Maharishi 
Jyotish Offices for all of their guidance.


With best wishes,

Jai Guru Dev

[Bhairitu noozg...@sbcglobal.net [FairfieldLife]]

The problem is that meditation is often taught wrong.  Other paths often 
just use meditation as a utility, you meditate when you fee like or 
need.  Advice from my tantra guru was, "if you don't feel like 
meditating then don't as nothing will be gained."  Meditation in general 
is used as a tool to calm the sympathetic nervous system, the part of 
the autonomic nervous system we use for activity.  Once calmed the 
thoughts which the sympathetic system triggers slow or stop just leaving 
an experience of pure consciousness.


But also keep in mind that one person's meditation technique may not 
work for another person.  Though many may need calming other may need 
stimulation.  Ayurveda recognizes this and that's why there are 
different mantras for each dosha.  Gurus would often observe a student 
and give them an appropriate mantra for their constitution.  And some 
paths give a student a mantra for calming and one for stimulation, use 
as needed.

You are witnessing the transition of Yahoo to Verizon.  Last week emails 
would time out and it would take several attempts for it to post.  These 
always said resources were not available and try later.  That's not the 
way it worked under Yahoo when there was a problem.  But it may have 
been that Verizon engineers were implementing fixes to bugs that have 
long existed (not that I'm a big fan of Veri$on).


However I would remind people, especially those with AT email and 
their legacies like SBCGlobal that you can't use those for Groups login 
after Friday.  Actually they wouldn't let me log in last week with my 
SBC Global account.  HOWEVER, my Yahoo account was set up long before I 
had AT as a broadband provider.  Some of you may have forgotten that.  
It may well be that emails will still work but the web will require 
logging in through the master account which I logged into last week to 
read Group posts on the web.


Obviously AT$T continuing to use Yahoo as a mail provider would be 
consider a "conflict of interest" with Veri$on running it.  Some of my 
other groups even use my own company email instead of SBC email.

That's "indirect" participation.  Lots of people do that.  Direct 
participation would make you a capitalist.  If you lived back in the 
late 1700s you probably would have been in favor of staying a British 
colony.  There are many shades of collectivism and some like to say 
"communism is an interesting idea that has never been tried."  Lenin 
told Armand Hammer two years after the 1917 revolution that it was 
already failing.  Of course many so-called "communist countries" are 
really dictatorships.  And some countries like Cuba and Venezuela have 
problems because of US intervention and sanctions driven by greedy 
industrialists who want to get their hands on the resources there.

These investigations, however, can be broken down into three categories:

  * First, the intertwined Justice Department investigation, now led
by a special counsel, into the ties between the Trump campaign and
Russia and, reportedly, the possible cover-up.
  * Second, the investigations led by the House and Senate
Intelligence Committees, which are broadly looking at Russian
intervention in the 2016 election.
  * Third, the Senate Judiciary Committee and House Oversight and
Government Reform Committee have been looking into former National
Security Adviser Michael Flynn’s conduct specifically — and have
recently expanded their inquiry to the circumstances surrounding
former FBI Director James Comey’s firing.

As mentioned in my earlier posts, I've had health complaints that 
appeared to be arthritis.  But the doctor concluded that my complaints 
were not due to arthritis, and stated that his readings showed I have 
high blood pressure.



Jyotish Explanation:


I'm undergoing a one year period of Saturn using the Brighu Saral 
Paddati Method in Jyotish.  Saturn is placed in the third house 
causing painand stiffness in the right arm and right thigh.  In 
addition, Saturn is placed in the nakshatra of the Sun, which is 
placed in the first house.  As such, this is causing the high blood 
pressure in the body and inflammation of the muscles. Also, Mars, the 
significator for the muscles, is rather weak due its placement in the 
12th house and to combustion or nearness to the Sun.  In total, the 
effect of these astrological factors is causing an arthritis-like 
symptoms in the arm and leg.  These factors may also be causing the 
double vision in my eyes, which is an indicator that the muscles in 
the eyes are NOT coordinating properly to maintain normal vision.



Solution:  Take a high blood pressure pill to reduce the hypertension. 
 And, take bufferin or acetomenophen, to reduce the pain and 
inflammation.  Take an ayurvedic herbal pill to keep the muscles 
flexible.  These are definitely cheaper than asking a Hindu priest to 
perform a yagya or puja for Saturn.  Here in the SF Bay Area, the 
price for the ceremony is $200.




Interesting because I probably know more meditators (including myself) 
who are likely to suffer from hypotension.  More salt for us.

Parasara and Jaimini, this episode of my life should end by midsummer 
2017 when this current period of Saturn ends.  Amen.
