[FairfieldLife] Re: FFL Hating Turq and Belief in God is a form of mental illness
I'm still quite busy with real life, but when I see references to "moderators should have blah blah blah" it's time for me to remind folks that Rick already has the forum moderated as he sees fit. As for Judy, unless I missed something, we don't know what's up with her or why she left. Personally, I don't understand why people would be drawn to engage in the ego monkey bullshit that makes up the bulk of FFL's traffic, but it is what it is. I do understand why people object to Barry's toxic behavior, but that's who he is and what he does, and it has not changed. So, why keep reacting to an energy creature who seeks reaction? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : ? “..the role of principle Barry hater - and you have to admire the gusto!” No, we all rate posts as we may read them on spectrum; from posts that make: Observations, to suggestions, to criticism, by negativity and tone, to apostasy, thence to active anger and hating. In reading these posts I feel Ann through reading the individual postings here simply lost some faith more in Turq by her better understanding of his writing and approach here after reading the Lenz book that was posted here. It is that simple also. I always read the Turq and feel he has a valid perspective from having 'been there' at a time, by his contrast with spiritual experience like Fleet's, and now I feel I have an even better understanding of him as a critic from this recent Freddy Lenz/Rama thread on FFL. Context often is everything. That is something that is particularly good about the writing on FFL, that it often can render down what is truth. Judy was very much part of that process when she was here. Ann also helps with that by virtue of her mind about things and by life experience as context about things here. Some here have been pricks and Ann may be prickly towards people at times. Rick seems to welcome almost everyone contributing to the related topics of FairfieldLife. I thank Rick for that. Public forum is often one of the best checks against theocratic tyranny. There was an amazing open meeting last night in meditating Fairfield where everything was on the table in front of a bunch of the higher-up apparatchiks of the new TM movement. For upward pressures on the organization being beyond theocratic control, FFL has long been a part of the calculus of the meditating Fairfield communal culture. There is a lot of change going on inside right now by virtue of the attention of public forum. Turq in his way has been part of that for years by force of his experience, personality and writing. I would miss him if he gets entirely hounded or completely embarrassed off of this forum. In the same way I feel it was really mean the way they hounded Judy personally off this list and out of this community. Rick and the moderators should have stopped that before the end. I would hope we could all be kinder with one another in process. Jai Guru Dev, -Buck in the Dome

I'm also 2.9% Neanderthal, which is near the high end of Neanderthal genetic content. And, I'm APO E4/E4, which puts me at the absolute highest risk for Alzheimer's; E4 is the original form of that allele, with the E2 and E3 forms having evolved later.

[FairfieldLife] Re: The Faces I Can Look Forward to Seeing Every Day
I grew up in a petless household because my family's experiment in dog ownership ended before my time when George Washington, a dachshund, grew ornery after my sister kept trying to ride him. My only experience with pet ownership was the 16 years that our household was dominated by cats, and that came to a tragic end, 13 months ago, when we had to put down our most beloved kitty. What's especially sad is that of our 16 years with her, what stands out the most in my memory of her is her final months of declining health. As cute and lovable as those dogs look, all I can think of is the unbelievable pain and heartbreak you will experience when they die.

Google has many special feature... https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&q=Peanuts+dull+the+mind%3F&sourceid=opera&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 I am fond of peanuts as are birds, squirrels, rats, and other rodents. Blue jays head straight for them over other kinds of seeds. Smaller birds will try to carry off a large unshelled peanut in preference to a bird feeder. High fat and protein. Birds go for that. Birds will choose GMO seeds that have higher protein over natural ones of the same kind. The idea that peanuts are bad comes from their being hard to digest. About 30% of the fat in peanuts tends to not get digested. An Ayurvedic no no. If you get stranded in a winter wilderness with a lot of peanuts and you are Ayurvedic in dietary preferences, you die. Actually some Ayurvedic sources say to reduce, not necessarily eliminate peanuts. Peanuts have a strong odor, so perhaps that is another reason spiritually minded dogmatists are against them. Also the Vedic people did not know about peanuts. India got its first peanuts in the 18th century. Vedic proscriptions do not specifically apply to the peanut as a result, modern Vedic-ites retrofitted proscriptions against nuts to them. It's all about nuts, but it is not clear whether the proscribed articles are the food or the eater of the food or both. Let us say it is perhaps unhealthy to be around nuts according to this view.

Who knows? However, that was one of those "Maharishi says..." pronouncements floating around FF in my early days here. Here's what MAPI has to say about peanuts (it's consistent with what MMY allegedly said): "Peanuts are not recommended in ayurveda. Peanuts are not really nuts; they are legumes. Peanuts are difficult to digest and can make one feel sluggish and lethargic in body and mind. Ayurvedically, it is better to use either cashew or almond butter for sandwiches." ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Did Maharishi really say that eating peanuts dulls the mind? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, mailto:dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : Aggregating Questions..

[FairfieldLife] Re: Premature deaths
Since childhood, Petra had always had a delicate GI tract, and as she got older, it got worse. Because her condition was in the IBS spectrum, where doctors can look but not find anything, modern medicine was not much help except for H2 blockers and proton pump inhibitors. So, she turned to all manner of alternative health modalities and ideologies. Unfortunately, she glommed on to the idea that all it takes is the right cleanse, and she did some kind of extreme Ayurvedic cleanse where she drank a quart of salt water. It ended up washing away her microbiome, and her GI tract went completely haywire. She was very sick with that for two years before going to see medical doctors, and it was a CT scan to check for a hiatal hernia that showed she had very advanced, metastatic breast cancer (it had spread to her liver and spine.) We speculate that the cleanse wiped out her immune system, allowing the cancer to take hold. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Re: stats of meditators in FF going on to greener pastures: The stats only show that the deaths are not premature in comparison to the general US population, but that isn't saying much.

[FairfieldLife] Re: FF Meditating Community Meeting
Oh gawd, not the friggin' chapel drama again. When I was at MIU, I had to meditate on the rock-hard pews in that mold-filled shithole. It was full of mold because the roof leaked; they threw a bunch of money at the roof, and it didn't stay fixed because the foundation was crumbling. It was gonna cost around half a million dollars to fix the foundation, and it didn't make sense to spend that kind of money on a building that wasn't all that useful to the university. Plus, it was also Sthapatya Vedicly wonky. OMG!!! SATANIC HINDOOS WHO HATE JEEBUS DESTROYED A CHURCH! But, the old St. Mary's Catholic Church, which was built within 5 years of Barhydt Chapel and had similar severe structural issues, was also torn down. crickets chirping No one gave two shits that the Catholics tore down their own old church building. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Large meeting.

Approximately 275 people filled the hall to overflowing, with dozens sitting in aisles and standing in the back, and a large group of M.U.M. Trustees in front, with Tom Stanley, VP of MUM Board of Trustees, MCing the meeting, and Dr. John Hagelin and Mayor Ed Malloy also responding to comments and suggestions from the floor . A fer a Welcome by Trustee Tom, Dr. Hagelin briefly summarized the just - finished spectacular Ukraine Peace Conference attended by over 500 VIP s - the highest stature gathering ever exposed to the Peace Solutions we practice, and an inspiring overview of our community history by Mayor Malloy. By far most of the meeting consisted of suggestions and comments from the floor, regarding the state of our IAA Sidha community. Interestingly, about two thirds of the suggestions and comments had to do with the IAA, Super Radiance, and the Domes. A powerful, tangible sense of re-awakening of our community spirit continued to build throughout the evening. Near the end of the meeting, Trustee Chris Wege gave a very stirring synopsis of what brought us here, holds us here, and the intense potential for growth and development that still exists here. . . in collaboration. Again and again, comments returned to supporting and growing the Invincible America Assembly, as though the group consciousness knew that the IAA (everyone who comes to Group Program) is the core of our community and M.U.M.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Maharishi Jyotish Council's Tips for Eclipse
I don't think people ==should== be outside. I think they should do what feels right for them. For me, that meant driving down to the path of totality to watch. I kept an eye on the weather for 10 days, and on Sunday, I decided that I really wasn't up to the 13 hour drive out to Casper WY, where the skies would have been clear. I knew I'd be settling for partly cloudy weather from Nebraska to Illinois, so I ended up taking the shortest drive, down to Columbia MO. I parked in the Eagle Bluffs Conservation Area, where there was a small crowd of other like-minded folks. It took an hour and change from the start until totality, and when that last little bit of sun disappeared, it was absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. The shared experience in the crowd was that words can't describe the magnificence of it. It was one of the most extraordinary experiences of my life. Pure, awe-inspiring glory of Nature. Amazing. Oh, and the animals didn't "go crazy"; they quieted down. And, during totality, we could see Venus. It was so cool. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Of course everyone should be outside!

I've never understood that "spiritual" kinda tapas, and why people get off on it.

Seems to me that the god or the Law in question would want the guy to Go Get Laid Already, so that he could come back to meditation and spend a little time transcending. Anyway, I like the Spanish version of tapas much more. Little dishes of fish or shellfish or veggies or meats, small enough so that you can order 3 to start with and stop there if that satisfies you, or order 3 more (or 12 more) if the first course doesn't. It's a perfect eating style for me, because I tend to have a small appetite and like to "graze," rather than eating a long, full meal. YMMV. This is a very important post. We now know that bawee likes to graze rather than eat a full meal. I will go forth today feeling that much more enriched and empowered. Keep these posts coming bawee.

Yeah, wireless power transmission never struck me as a very good idea. My experience with network cameras is that you get what you pay for. I have four of them: an ancient Axis, a much newer Axis, a Panasonic PTZ, and a D-Link. The D-Link is basically crap, but its built-in IR emitters are handy for seeing in the dark, so I keep it in the garage, pointed at Petra's parking bay, so I can see at a glance if she's home. The Panasonic is no great performer, but the image quality is better than the D-Link, and the PTZ is kinda fun, so I have it installed way up high in a cupola window, so that I can scan the entire eastern horizon. The ancient Axis is pointed out an upstairs window, and the newer Axis is down in the basement, pointed at all the controls for the solar hot water. Axis IP cams cost from hundreds to thousands of dollars, and they are worth every penny. My IP cam wet dream is an Axis outdoor high-def PTZ with built-in heater, mounted on top of my 80' TV antenna tower; the view from that would be incredible. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Just think if Tesla got his way and broadcasted electricity?

And, that's a screen cap of video playing in Firefox. As for network cameras hooked up to WiFi, my experience is limited to the D-Link, and on WiFi, I'd have to reboot it every one or two weeks because it would stop responding. After hooking the garage up to Cat 5 and giving the D-Link a wired connection, the camera rarely ever needs to be rebooted. Wifi is great for gadgets that need intermittent Internet access, but for a server, I just don't think WiFi is robust enough for continuous, reliable connectivity. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : That is a a sharp image from the Axis. The Canary is a "in-home" security system. It probably wouldn't work well somehow mounted above my garage door . There are other security systems that work similarly and for a similar price. Most won't have a 1080p camera though. Black and Decker had a DIY system several years ago that would phone out in the way Canary does. I did sort out the differences between the two Swann systems: one is P2P over 2.4ghz and the other (more expensive) wifi. The one video review of the latter wasn't too positive and I can imagine it might have difficulty using wifi. I might pick up the P2P system and see how well it works with just the one camera from the places where I want two cameras. At the local neighborhood watch meeting a month back they had an ADT rep here but to date I don't seen any new installations including with the folks that put together the meeting.

I agree with Feste.

It's mere literary criticism.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Stephen Collins 40 year banana
Oh fer cryin' out loud, Ann, do I have to explain *everything* to you? It's really quite simple. The "Yoga Lite" that is TM didn't raise the transcendental kundalini bliss of the 4th chakra's sushumna, and thus, the Hiranyagarbha was not recognized. Because the Ved is timeless, it matters not when the heinous acts took place. Now, will you *please* stop being an apologist for TM and pedophilia? Thank you. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : I don't quite see the connection of how a man in his 20's who allegedly was guilty of gross sexual misconduct with children has much to do with whatever his connection to the TM movement is now and how that reflects badly on the movement. How does it all compute? Is it that some asshole pedophile eventually became a Hollywood actor and somehow became endorsed by the TM movement and has now been exposed 4 decades later as a pedophile therefore makes TM invalid or the movement suspect because they didn't know this guy had sexually abused young children 40 years ago and now they do and...

[FairfieldLife] Re: Colloidal Silver
You can save a lot of money by making your own for about a dollar per gallon. It can be done with as little as two silver wires and three 9v batteries, but it is well worth the money to buy a current controlled unit that shuts itself down when the desired strength is reached. Two worthy units: http://silverpuppy.com/ http://silverpuppy.com/ http://www.silvergen.com/ http://www.silvergen.com/ Another wise investment is a water distiller, as the water you distill at home is likely to be purer than the stuff from the store, plus it will not have leached all sorts of plastic taste/smell from sitting on a shelf for months. Please be aware that properly made CS has exactly two ingredients: pure steam distilled water and .999+ pure silver. NEVER use tap water or add stuff like salt or baking soda. All the scare stories of people who turned themselves blue with excessive silver intake trace back to improperly made homebrew CS or concentrated silver compounds. Properly made, homemade CS will top out at about 20 PPM; at that concentration, you'd kill yourself with excessive water intake before you'd ever ingest enough silver to cause argyria.

Re: WiFi Last year, I posted about the expansion of WiFi on campus: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/FairfieldLife/conversations/messages/337398 https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/FairfieldLife/conversations/messages/337398 "MUM Expands Wireless Access on Campus In response to student requests and the need for more convenient Internet access, MUM is expanding WiFi availability on campus. Originally limited to the student lounge in the Argiro Student Center, and now also available in the Library, WiFi is being planned for Residence Hall 144, Residence Hall 106, Hildenbrand Hall, and other residence halls. As many as a dozen additional wireless routers will be installed over time, said Tom Hirsch, director of information technology and telecommunications at MUM. The decision to go ahead was made only after a thorough review of the scientific literature found that there were no documented health effects. Mr. Hirsch points out that the signal strength of WiFi is a hundred to a thousand times weaker than that of a cell phone. Nevertheless, the routers will be off-limits in certain areas, such as the Vastu dorms and high-traffic public areas. Mr. Hirsch also said that the particular routers being used, made by Ruckus, aren't omnidirectional, as is the case with most routers. Instead of sending a signal in all directions, like a light bulb, they use a system of 1219 antennas to find the best transmitting pattern for the wireless device they're communicating with and send a more focused signal like the beam of a flashlight. The result may be less ambient radiation as well as a stronger, more reliable signal for the user. "More devices today are WiFi only, such as the iPad and MacBook Air," Mr. Hirsch said. "Students had been setting up their own routers, frequently causing problems with the campus network." He also said the signals from their routers would often interfere with each other, resulting in degraded performance. The new routers will offer better service to students and contribute to convenient access to the campus network."

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Alabama - Gotta have them guns!
Iowa law does require that the openly carried long gun be unloaded, so either the open carrier is a criminal or pencil-dick douchebag making a grandiose display of an unloaded weapon.

Re: [FairfieldLife] For The Aging FFL Community
The issue of Alzheimer's and diet is of great interest to me because as an APO E4/E4, I am genetically in the highest risk group for Alzheimer's. What I read most often is that E4/E4 people have problems metabolizing fats and should therefore eat a low-fat, high-carb diet, with an emphasis on avoiding saturated fats. But, coconut oil is almost entirely saturated fat, and it is beneficial for people with Alzheimer's. And in my case, I have metabolic issues with carbs, not fats. To me, this all points to metabolic individuality and the futility of making one-size-fits-all dietary recommendations. With Alzheimer's sometimes described as diabetes of the brain, my approach to this is a diet that minimizes the huge spikes in blood sugar and insulin to which I'm prone. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Coconut oil, coconut milk drinks, coconut this and that have been mainstream for the last few years in the US.

It is all built on memory and imagination. No such school is valueless, nor indispensable; in each one can progress up to the point, when all desire for progress must be abandoned to make further progress possible. Then all schools are given up, all effort ceases; in solitude and darkness the vast step is made which ends ignorance and fear forever.' 'The true teacher, however, will not imprison his disciple in a prescribed set of ideas, feelings and actions; on the contrary, he will show him patiently the need to be free from all ideas and set patterns of behaviour, to be vigilant and earnest and go with life wherever it takes him, not to enjoy or suffer, but to understand and learn.' 'Under the right teacher the disciple learns to learn, not to remember and obey. Satsang, the company of the noble, does not mould, it liberates. Beware of all that makes you dependent. Most of the so-called "surrenders to the Guru" end in disappointment, if not in tragedy. Fortunately, an earnest seeker will disentangle himself in time, the wiser for the experience.'

He was deathly pale, just like a waxen image, and the red eyes glared with the horrible vindictive look which I knew so well. As I looked, the eyes saw the sinking sun, and the look of hate in them turned to triumph. But, on the instant, came the sweep and flash of Jonathan's great knife. I shrieked as I saw it shear through the throat. Whilst at the same moment Mr. Morris's bowie knife plunged into the heart. It was like a miracle, but before our very eyes, and almost in the drawing of a breath, the whole body crumbled into dust and passed from our sight. I shall be glad as long as I live that even in that moment of final dissolution, there was in the face a look of peace, such as I never could have imagined might have rested there.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Austin, Nevada or Bust
You can feel the ion wind coming off ion generators and ionic air cleaners, but the volume of air really isn't comparable to any kind of air filter that has a fan. That said, any positively charged surface in the vicinity of a negative ion generator will be plated with airborn dirt particles. When the positively charged surface is a painted wall, the dirt plating is permanent, as we discovered with our first negative ion generator. That's why there was a shift to designs that include cleanable positively charged collector plates. In cars, positive ions are a huge contributor to road fatigue. The first time I took a road trip with an automotive negative ion generator, I drove four hours straight without really realizing I had driven that long without a break. In a car, those things are nothing short of amazing. Unfortunately, the units I've purchased in recent years have been cheap crap that don't last very long. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Negative Ions Create Positive Vibes http://www.webmd.com/balance/features/negative-ions-create-positive-vibes Negative Ions Create Positive Vibes http://www.webmd.com/balance/features/negative-ions-create-positive-vibes There's something in the air that just may boost your mood -- get a whiff of negative ions.

I am not sure just how these various devices are marketed since it would seem one could emphasise health benefits from the ions, or health benefits from crap being removed from the air. Consumer Reports court case, which deals with low throughput of the air flow: Consumer Reports, a non-profit U.S.-based product-testing magazine, reported in October 2003 that air ionisers [negative ion generator] do not perform to high enough standards compared to conventional HEPA filters. The exception was a combination unit that used a fan to move air while ionizing it. In response to this report, The Sharper Image, a manufacturer of air ionisers (among other products), sued Consumer's Union (the publishers of Consumer Reports) for product defamation. Consumer Reports gave the Ionic Breeze and other popular units a "fail" because they have a low Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR). CADR measures the amount of filtered air circulated during a short period of time, and was originally designed to rate media-based air cleaners. The Sharper Image claimed that this test was a poor way to rate the Ionic Breeze, since it does not take into account other features, such as 24-hour a day continuous cleaning, ease of maintenance, and silent operation. The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California subsequently struck down The Sharper Image's complaint and dismissed the case, reasoning that The Sharper Image had failed to demonstrate that it could prove any of the statements made by Consumer Reports were false. The Court's final ruling in May 2005 ordered The Sharper Image to pay US $525,000 for Consumer Union's legal expenses. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Biggest problem is finding one that isn't complete garbage.
