[FairfieldLife] when India was ruled by UK
Gandhi Speaks the TRUTH 6mins video from YT comment ~ The similarities between the times when India was ruled by the British and the state of the world today are strikingly similar. The Britishers would have loved to impose the surveillance society and tyrannical laws that exists today, particularly in the US and UK. Everyday the media does its best to convince us that a little loss of Freedom and Liberty here and there is alright for National Security purposes. Terrorism seems to be the Mantra for those in power to control the actions and thoughts of the populace. The majority is disarmed through fear and propaganda about Wars, Pandemics and Economic crises that leads to them living in an environment of insecurity and hopelessness. Meanwhile, the Government is busy privatizing the gains to a few and socializing the losses to many, and expanding it's Empire overseas with Illegal wars. And, if it senses opposition building in the public, it makes use of false flag attacks to confuse them and justify it's actions. Gandhi may be dead, but his message still remains as relevant as it was more than 50 years ago, and it would serve us well to listen and ponder what he had to say when the people of India were being oppressed by the tyrannical British Empire. Because, eventually, History might just Repeat itself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdAZa2kgV-Ufeature=player_embedded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdAZa2kgV-Ufeature=player_embedded

Always remember deep in your heart that all is well and everything is unfolding as it should. There are no mistakes anywhere, at any time. What appears to be wrong is simply your own false imagination. That's all. You are the Self, that perfect immutable Self. Nothing else exists. Nothing else ever existed. Nothing else will ever exist. There is only one Self and you are That. Rejoice! ~Robert Adams (Silence of the Heart Vol 1) Robert Adams was an American Self-realized master and direct disciple of Ramana Maharshi http://www.enlightenedbeings.com/ramana.html . Robert had a powerful awakening experience at 14 years old while taking a math test in the Bronx, NYC that transformed his life. He had a vast experience of illumination, an awakening to realizing that he IS the God-Self. Later he was drawn to India's holy mountain of Arunachala, where he met Ramana in person and remained for the last 3 years of Ramana's life. [Robert first spent some time with Joel S. Goldsmith, of Infinite Way, who sent him to Yogananda; after six months with, Yogananda sent Robert to India to be with Ramana Maharshi] Through Robert's life, he continuously received the deepest and most radical understanding of our existence. He was a living embodiment of an awakened being. His message is radical, provocative and can be easily misunderstood if you are new to your spiritual path and haven't experienced much meditation.

[FairfieldLife] Re: God is objective and scientific ! = hey Hugo, you quit too soon
hey Hugo, you quit too soon and missed the good part; you keep asking for proof of one spiritual principle; here i give you one and ask you to become a real scientist in your own life not in your head believing others: When I was a physicist, 39 years ago, I would wonder how can people understand anything about life and the universe without having the understating that is available to scientists in terms of math, formulas, principles, logic. But, when at age 31, my first huge personal problem arose, plunging me into deep depression, my physics was useless. I went to the university psychologist and wondered if I had studied the wrong science? But just for a short time, because it was only of little help. But what really helped, were these miraculous things: 1)Very long walks and watching my thoughts unravel, all the good the bad and the ugly with some insights 2)Reading J. Krishnamurti's Think on These Things which not only transformed my deep depression into joy without a reason sort of like the peace that passeth all understanding ; there definitely was some shift in my perception of life and world, a lot more really then physics did 3)Starting TM, immediately I had excess to a more peaceful mind 4)Spending one month with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi; the feeling was don't know if what he says is valid; but, definitely know that I am experiencing something new which I can only call love not personal, hard to define, like some presence that is just there, not thoughts in the head, a very subtle feeling but more real then the gross field of perceptions 5)Several months later experience of awareness resting in the heart without thoughts; just peace and love; the love was so intense had to be God's Love as in God is Love. This definitely was experiential proof of the spiritual principle God is Love as real as any physics experiment, actually a lot more real So that is how I went from studying the science of physics to not only studying but also living the science of spirituality, the only science that includes all the other sciences. So, from this perspective, I can appreciate all the other fields of knowledge, from material science to art, music, poetry or whatever as each being valid but not superior to another; no competition; nothing wins unless all win; if only one wins, sure disaster as in oil spill The ultimate quest, whether spiritual, philosophical or scientific, is Who the heck Am I?

Just changing the name of a poorly understood level of nature to god doesn't prove that the ancients were right about anything *unless* they both predicted the parameters we are now discovering *and* can show that this level of nature actually has any of the traditionally associated features of a supreme being. Until then I think what they are doing is ascribing the term god to something they don't fully understand as a way of hopefully explaining it.

As in religion, these devotees have not really delved into it much but rather cling to their idealistic imaginative concepts about science, or religion. And so we have the current new religion called science. But, again as in religion, science cannot exist without the scientists, the new priests of the new religion. So, above I have given a link to one of the interesting scientists, perhaps a mystic just as there are mystics in the fields of religion and spirituality who share the real eternal universal principles both by word and experience. When I was a physicist, 39 years ago, I would wonder how can people understand anything about life and the universe without having the understating that is available to scientists in terms of math, formulas, principles, logic.

[FairfieldLife] Intro to Supreme Science
Intro to Supreme Science Leonard Jacobson used to be a judge and so truth expresses through him with clarity and simplicity The two dimensions of ego http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-qDe8Ei1_s True Awakening, Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRBS0BovCWw Hi Evuliennka, The sudden awakening that you experienced is a blessing and a gift. But it can also make living in the world difficult at times. That is why I teach a two step path of awakening. The first step is Presence. To be present is simple and immediate. At the deepest level, it is the fully awakened state, which reveals Oneness and Is-ness. The second step is Mastery of your mind and ego! This is a process which occurs over time. It involves bringing consciousness to all the ways you are involuntarily pulled out of Presence. It includes the resistance of the ego, judgment of yourself and others, repressed emotions, and losing yourself in others. Mastery of the mind and ego enables you to become fundamentally established in Presence. It enables you to play easily in the world of time without getting lost there. It is a process of integration and it is essential in true awakening.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Einstein was a man of faith !
OK, Hugo, You are entitled to your POV, just like the rest of us. If it makes you happy, more power to you. If not, maybe go outside your fixed POV and explore a little; that's what real scientist do; get a hug from Amma or whatever. Let me repeat myself from a previous post with a few additions [] : From my observation, people define God in a limited way and say I don't believe in such a God. Well good for them! [but basically they are arguing with their own definitions] How about we define God as the unbounded infinite awareness/consciousness/supreme-intelligence in which all phenomena appears, persists temporarily short or long, and disappears? Hmm. May take a little honest persistent investigation, real science free from the limitations of fear [and fixed definitions of science, fixed definitions of religion, fixed definitions of spirituality] Added comment: or we can let go of all definitions, and start observing with our own awareness, our own existence, and see where that leads us; observe and notice without preconceptions not only the forms and noise but also that which is formless and noiseless. Maharishi encouraged physicists in the 70's and 80's that it should be possible to fulfill Einstein's dream of formulating Unified Field theories. And they did come up with what are called string theories, if I remember correctly. And it's interesting that the attributes of the Unified Field string theories basically was/is the same as the attributes of the God of the mystics or even that of the core essence of religions if you know where to look ~ a field of seeming unmanifest nothingness with attributes of omnipresence-omniscience-omnipotence in which and from which all manifest creation arises. Or as many current teachers say, by giving up all definitions, all preconceptions, self-realize the awareness which may seem initially as total emptiness/nothingness and then observe that it contains everything. In other words, don't juts rely on science and scientist external to yourself, become a real scientist yourself and experience truth rather that try to define it, which of course you can always do later for the fun of communicating. Observe, record, reason, take a break, allow thoughts to stop, allow intuition, have confidence in your own intuition, observe without thoughts, repeat, have fun, be happy, get a hug once a year; this is my science. peaceful spacious loving awareness, anatol --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Hugo fintlewoodle...@... wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, anatol_zinc anatol_zinc@ wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Hugo fintlewoodlewix@ wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, anatol_zinc anatol_zinc@ wrote: Einstein's theory of General Relativity predicted that light would bend bypassing a massive planet like the Sun.

Not really, but you were implying Einstein was religious about science when he wasn't at all. I guess the difference between faith in god and confidence in his theory is that his theory was always testable when the existence of a god of any sort appears not to be. One can therefore have confidence in one's theories but one can only have faith in god. Well I'm no psychic, I don't believe anyone is. And I am confident about that :-) So let me guess, you might say I have confidence in myself and no-faith in God. Well what if, myself = God and confidence = faith? You can see how absurd the above assertion is. I would say I have occasional confidence in myself and no faith that there is a god. Couldn't see the point really, god is a bit of a failed hypothesis as far as I'm concerned, I've read all the holy books and god seems like a part of cultures that are so distant it's hard to say what god actually was to them. Was he an astronaut or the halucinations from a now defunct part of our brains? Was he an invention by the ruling class to keep the lower orders in line or was he a real live flesh and blood supreme creator being who just happens to not want to have anything to do with us any more? Or was he a name people came up with to explain how they felt in altered states of consciousness bought on by too much mushroom tea or meditation, or both? It's like the atheist said I did not believe in God, until I found out I am God I would say idiot rather than athiest, all they did was change a definition of something
[FairfieldLife] Science will win what ?
Science will win what ? Quote from some previous post: science will win because it works What an absurd and meaningless thing to say. Doesn't everything work? Everything that happens works, but not necessarily for good. Mindless entertainment works to keep people mindless; does that mean it wins? Let's see how science works: Nuclear bombs work, gas chambers, thousands of dangerous chemicals, nuclear plants work very well at producing dangerous radiation waste, suicidal processed foods, can dig oil wells so deep cannot control them, go to the moon (what the heck for), produce weapons for war, transplant organs for a few at a staggering cost while billions go hungry, . Obviously, I'm leaving out some of the good stuff, to make this point because it does appear that survival of human race is at risk. Like Einstein said the mind is a terrible master, but can be a wonderful/good servant. Good servant to what? From my own experience and observation of world, the mind( thinking itself the master and believing only in material science or only in dogmatic religion) is the creator of all the problems; whereas the heart is the seat of all the solutions being the source of intuition which Einstein talked so favorably about. Here are some Einstein quotes: Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind. http://thinkexist.com/quotation/science_without_religion_is_lame-religi\ on_without/15560.html Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand. Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere. Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile. [sounds like Amma] The only real valuable thing is intuition. If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough And an article by Einstein on Religion and Science @ http://www.sacred-texts.com/aor/einstein/einsci.htm http://www.sacred-texts.com/aor/einstein/einsci.htm I do not agree with Einstein completely, because I have confidence that the greatest scientists were and are the ancient sages and the current sages. But, at least this article shows that Einstein did not think of Science VS Religion but saw the necessity of both, each at its best, should complement each other for beneficial progress and survival of the human race. I do see edg's point about using famous people's quotes as somewhat a selective and questionable process and will contemplate on that Om Shanti, anatol
[FairfieldLife] Re: Science will win what ?
Technology uses and misuses Science. Science, technology, government, business and society are all intertwined and not so separate and abstract. Government and business grants have a lot to do what scientists research that might be favorable to war technology for instance. Because the misuse is so heavy on the scale, was another of the several factors why i left my physics career 39 years ago and pursued the science of spirituality instead. om namah sivaya, anatol --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Jason jedi_sp...@... wrote:       There is a difference between Science and Technology. the Technology is based on duality. Science is pure abstract knowledge.

Well I'm no psychic, but let me try to guess what's on your mind: you associate faith with religion and confidence with reason; correct me if I'm wrong. For me no such distinctions exist. Faith and confidence are synonyms; check your dictionary; their meaning does not, or at least in my POV should not, depend on who or what you have confidence and faith in. Furthermore, it is my confidence that each of us( 7billion ) is entitled to our unique POV which may have similarities but are different just like no two snowflakes are alike. On the other hand, there are what I call universal principles of life, which apply equally to everyone and everything ~ religion, science, spirituality, commonsense daily life, all sorts of life-work-styles all are subject to the same universal principles of life. In my 2cents POV, you can have faith/confidence in a theory, in yourself, in God whatever your conception is, faith in no-God, no-faith in God, in your opinion, in math, science, war, peace, your cell phone, your friends, etc So let me guess, you might say I have confidence in myself and no-faith in God. Well what if, myself = God and confidence = faith? You can see how absurd the above assertion is. It's like the atheist said I did not believe in God, until I found out I am God Of course you are aware that a dictionary will have several shades of meaning of any one wordbut a word is always defined in terms of other words and so, we end up with synonyms I won't bother you with detailed dictionary definitions, but just give you a summary of synonyms from looking up the three words confidence, faith, belief : SUMMARY: CONFIDENCE = FAITH = TRUST = BELIEF = RELIANCE = CONVICTION = OPINION Or, faith, confidence, belief, trust are all basically same thing meaning a strong conviction or a strong opinion. One may have to contemplate this a little to realize that what some people die for faith, confidence, belief, trust, conviction may really be just ones stubborn OPINION, a POV !

[FairfieldLife] LOVE is the only solution, the only true religion !
LOVE is the only solution, the only true religion ! Amma replies that Her religion is Love when asked what her religion is. Also, it seems to me that Love is what Christ, Buddha, Krishna and many saints lived and taught; they did not directly create Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc, the followers did. However, what we see in the world is selfishness leading to what it seems the whole world is bent on a suicide mission with thousands of harmful chemicals, processed foods, wars, mindless technological ambitions, careless use of Mother Earth's resources, health care for profit, hypocrisy, everything for profit The following is my attempt at understanding Love from my own experiences, from Amma and others in view of what is happening in the world. Bear in mind that this is merely my POV at this time and I believe that each one of us( 7 billion ) has a unique POV sort of like no two snowflakes are alike; on the other hand, there is commonality in what is called the universal eternal spiritual principles which I want to focus on here: it is said that there is nothing but God and that God is Love and that LOVE is what we really are LOVE is our essential nature, our real identity if this is not our experience, at least some glimpses here and there, there must be something blocking that it is the mind that either can be used as a tool to search for TRUTH which is LOVE or, the mind can be misused to veil and block LOVE This happens when the intellect has decided that it is capable of knowing TRUTH without LOVE which is not possible because LOVE is TRUTH it seems to me: LOVE is the highest truth; not facts, not science no matter how clever, no matter how scientific, no matter how clear and true intellectual knowledge seems to be, no matter what the facts seem to be, without LOVE, FEAR will be present FEAR veils LOVE and blocks LOVE from flowing without a firm resting in the heart, it is simply the nature of mind-intellect-ego, as a continuous stream of thoughts in the head, to create more and more knowledge, perhaps with the best of intellectual intentions, until complexity, confusion, and all sort of frustrating problems arise; then the intellect is engaged in trying to solve the problems which it helped to create in the first place; meanwhile many catch 22 situations arise and intellectual/scientific solutions are never enough; as is obvious from world events, all this seems to be heading in the direction of self-destruction you are indeed fortunate if your mind gets exhausted, takes a break, leaves the head, and rests in the peacefulness of your heart where there are no thoughts; then perhaps it will dawn on you that Love is the only solution for all the problems that the mind has created Amma says A one word solution to all the problems the world is facing today is Compassion [Love ]. Even Einstein said that the rational mind is a terrible master, but can be very useful as a servant [of Love]. The mind is very powerful, it creates the world as I understand it, it is Maya and needs to be used with the greatest of create in service to Love here, we are talking about Unconditioned Love which we call God and about Unconditioned Truth which we also call God or we can call it peaceful spacious loving awareness we are not talking about emotionalism, although positive emotions do have their own proper functionality, God's Love is Presence and Energy or as Robert Adams said the current that knows the way Amma says God will take care of us when ego is surrendered also Jesus and all mahatmas say that there is a universal force of Love that will sustain us and function through us to the extent we allow it by getting our egos out of the way in order for the heart to open so that real unconditioned love may be experienced, it may be necessary to do some selfless-service, take care of a relative or friend, help a homeless person, feel the suffering of the world, pray, meditate on the heart center, read some or many spiritual books, contemplate spiritual aphorisms, go for a walk and gaze at the sky, gaze at the stars, go within, rest in the peacefulness of the heart, and do some self-inquiry such as ~ What is love? What is truth? What is God? What am I? What is permanent? What is temporary? Who am I? Who is Amma? To jumpstart your spiritual quest or to enhance it significantly, getting a hug from Amma can be a very pleasant unimagined surprise.

[FairfieldLife] Praying fo Ravi !
interesting approach to praying for others or for any undesirable situation Ho'oponopono ~ wisdom from land of Aloha I am sorry, Please forgive me, I Thank you and I Love You ! How to practice Ho'oponopono http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ac5SGwRPv0o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ac5SGwRPv0o my comment on following video: I'm not sure how much is possible with this, but the hypotheses are worthwhile to consider and practice, if you want, it's simple enough. The spiritual principles are consistent with other universal teachings, especially something called Divine Apology[ Pratikraman ] by Indian Jain teacher Dada Bhagawan, and obviously, Christ's teaching on forgiveness and Love. Ho'oponopono Explained how Dr Hew Len was able to cure criminally insane patients at Hawaii State Hospital by working on himself : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSfbkG97H7Q http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSfbkG97H7Q some sites with articles and brief extracts below: ( concerning these sites, I follow the guideline take what is useful and leave the rest ) http://www.hooponopono.org/ http://www.hooponopono.org/ When we are willing to take 100% responsibility and let go, what is right and perfect unfolds. http://www.idreamcatcher.com/hooponopono/ http://www.idreamcatcher.com/hooponopono/ When Dr. Hew Len was asked how exactly did he manage to heal violent patients without actually seeing each of them in person, his answer was: I did not heal them. I healed part of myself that created them. To me that was the most fundamental revelation to date. That phrase alone explains the most important presumption of Ho'oponopono: You are 100% responsible for everything. Everything and everywhere! And it means, not only your personal failures and your personal successes, but also if someone somewhere did something and you became aware of that you are 100% responsible for that also. However, Ho'oponopono is not your free ticket to guilt trip. Being 100% responsible is not the same as feeling infinitely guilty for the world's miseries. It's a profound reminder of your creative powers and a gentle welcome to return back to your inner nature. . This is achieved by a constant cleaning process. by letting go of subconscious [processed] programs that run your life without your conscious participation. Ho'oponopono consists of simply repeating the following phrase many times throughout the day: I Love You, Please forgive me, I am sorry, Thank you ! No need to feel anything special, imagine anything, or otherwise to complicate this process; you just say it as Dr. Hew Len says. http://www.idreamcatcher.com/hooponopono/ http://www.idreamcatcher.com/hooponopono/ The wonder of the updated Ho'oponopono process is that you get to meet yourself anew each moment, and you get to appreciate more and more with each application of the process the renewing miracle of LOVE. Interesting hypotheses to contemplate on : 1. The physical universe is an actualization of my thoughts. 2. If my thoughts are cancerous, they create a cancerous physical reality. 3. If my thoughts are perfect, they create a physical reality brimming with LOVE. 4. I am 100% responsible for having created my physical universe the way it is. 5. I am 100% responsible for correcting the cancerous thoughts that create a diseased reality. 6. There is no such thing as out there. Everything exists within me as thoughts in my mind. also, on this site happens to be a story of Lester Levenson http://www.idreamcatcher.com/lester-levenson/ http://www.idreamcatcher.com/lester-levenson/ posting this link for the inspirational value of the story, NOT promoting either the Abundance Course nor the Release Technique, both of which I know little about; thanks for understanding.

Soma Yagyas are rare and ancient performances that take place over a number of days with the intention for bringing more light upon earth. In the Vedic era it was the duty of kings to perform them so there would be health, enlightenment and God consciousness in every heart and every home. What is yagya? Yagyas are ancient Vedic practices that were performedto bring coherence and harmony to the world though mantra, fire and the release of medicinal and aromatic substances as smokealong with special Vedic prayers. In all ancient cultures fire was used to invoke communication with the creative intelligence of nature. [0] What are Soma yagyas? Soma is the lunar and nourishing component of nature, it gives us vitality, health, wisdom and stability in our human physiology. Somayagyas are performed to increase the quality and quantity of Soma for the entire society. A specific plant is brought from the Himalayas which has a high quantity of Soma in its makeup. This Soma plant is put into the Yagya fire with specific combinations to produce a unique harmonizing effect. Vaidya Rama Mishra has written a beautiful article explaining theeffects and workings of Soma http://www.vedicsociety.org/newsletter/lt.php?c=28m=1nl=10s=fafddb63\ 001aa46625ba7ed6675a6038lid=659l=-http--www.vaidyamishra.com/articles/\ phbalance.php . Why is it necessary to perform? [0] Just as one should provide right food to the body for good health and advancement of consciousness, by performing Somayagyas we provide food on a quantum level to the underlying intelligences in nature. When these prime forces are balance, the world we live in becomes more harmonious and conducive to individual evolution. [0] Scientific basis of Yagya We havecompiled references to modern medical studies http://www.vedicsociety.org/newsletter/lt.php?c=28m=1nl=10s=fafddb63\ 001aa46625ba7ed6675a6038lid=660l=-http--www.vedicsociety.org/projects-\ somayagya-c-209_292.html showing the effects of Yagya on the environment, on individuals and on specific diseases. In Charaka Samhita, the most ancient texts of Ayurvedic wisdom, Yagyas are prescribed for karmic diseases when medicines fail to bring results, Yagya is used to heal. Charaka also mentions Yagya as a rejuvenative that brings increased longevity and immunity when performed. Preserving Living Traditions [0] The ancient tradition of Somayagyas is a living tradition that is passed from father to son in special families. There are just a handful of families still versed in this and we believe this is a treasure of heritage for the world and all should be done to preserve this tradition so it may continue unendingly.

[FairfieldLife] MORE on BRACO
Patty, a web forum friend, sees Braco April 17 in Honolulu, Hawaii and posts: Aloha Anatol, My son and I went this morning... words can't describe the experience that is still unfolding, from a lotus to showering rose petals. Mahalo, love patty Also next day, Patty posts : The gazing stays with you as it continues awakening a place of inner peace. my comment: read someplace that in USA, you can see Braco more than once per day, if you wait in line again, it's first come first serve; in Europe, due to large crowds, it's restricted to once per day; also can take photos of other with you on small poster board to hold up during session The meetings with Braco are free or there is a small charge to cover the cost for the room and for the organisation of the event. Braco himself makes a living from selling his books and DVD's, which are available at the events. Some background on Braco: Croatian Super Healer Braco unexplainably heals with his gaze alone. He does not ever speak during a healing session nor address individuals about their problems and concerns. No requirement of religious or spiritual belief is encouraged or needed. Braco simply stands on a platform in front of his audience and silently looks ahead with a gentle gaze. All present are instructed beforehand to stand and to look at his eyes and to think of their illnesses and problems. During the five-minute healing session [ I think it's about half hour session in LA], many immediately feel an intensity of energy and bodily sensations; others shed tears or have profound experiences of joy. Sometimes the dramatic happens for those with apparent maladies, but more often people walk away and throughout that day begin to `know' the answers to their problems or to feel better about their illnesses. Those with illness are always encouraged to check and confirm progress with their physician, which has led to innumerable stories of confirmed healing miracles. Braco's gift of healing emerged spontaneously in 1995 after his return from South Africa, where he was with his friend and mentor Ivica Prokic, who happened to drown in a rouge wave at a beach. Ivica was renowned for his bio-energetic healing ability and had a special gift that enabled him to tell people's futures by looking into a small mirror. Uniquely, Braco's first act of healing was to simply touch the picture of a very ill boy whose mother came to him after having a dream that Braco would make her son well. Braco reluctantly tapped the photo at her insistence of his healing gift and the boy quickly recovered. Ivica recognized Braco was his successor, and now his prophecy was fulfilled. Many began to come with photographs of loved ones who were ill or in some difficulty, eventually even photos of pets were brought and the numbers of people grew as more and more miraculous healings took place. In time, Braco came to work as long as 36-hours straight, seeing all who came one-by-one. In 2002, inspired by his intuition and with two thousand visitors waiting to see him, Braco stepped in front of his first group of people using only his silent gaze to heal. Instead of lessening the effect of the healing power, the groups intensified the results, and this is how the work continues to this day. Groups of 50 to 1000 people gather for a healing session and Braco now does twenty sessions a day working 10-12 hours each day at locations across Europe. He is booked with appearances four years in advance. Many in the scientific community and media have been distrustful, explaining originally that Braco only hypnotized the people, but when he stopped talking completely during healing sessions this explanation could no longer apply and much more was proved to be at work. To support their healing transformation, many people find that watching a video of Braco or reading a book about him strengthens the healing effect over time. Even more astonishing, there have been reports of spontaneous healings by those who have only watched a video of Braco to connect with his healing energy. Croatia and the surrounding countries of Eastern Europe possess deep spiritual roots and many great healers, prophets and seers have emerged from this region. A special lineage of healers is said to exist here and so I asked fellow countryman, Parapsychologist Drago Plecko, if Braco was a descendant of this ancient line. Drago Plecko himself spent more than a decade with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the father of Transcendental Meditation, as well as studying both Eastern and Western spiritual traditions for 30 years. He offered that the ancient lineage is not something one is born into, it is chosen by the healer himself and it is in his choosing that he (or she) becomes transformed and inextricably interconnected to this extraordinary line. Microbiologist Dr. Bruce Lipton, author of The Biology of Belief, confirms this possibility with his research which concludes that anyone can alter even DNA

Perhaps if mind is put aside, the unspoken is the only truth And its only true expression is love and compassion Embracing all, annihilating all, including itself Perhaps that's why Amma hugs To annihilate the ego of knowledge The good, the bad, and the ugly

[FairfieldLife] using ordinary words instead of esoteric
Sorry that I was not clear enough. So, let me try to clarify that I am not offering a substitute for Samadhi, your Silence instead of Samadhi is fine ! I was actually trying to show agreement with the sentiment for using more simple ordinary words in place of the more esoteric words( Sanskrit, spiritual, scientific ) as pointers to our deeper nature Nor was I trying to be poetic In my view, Love, Silence, Space and Awareness are ordinarily words which every ordinary person experiences to one degree or another in ordinary life, besides thoughts and perceptions. So what I am offering is some simple ordinary words in place of the esoteric words: Sat-Chid-Anandaor even the translation existence-consciousness-bliss Instead of Sat( existence ) = space Instead of Chid( consciousness ) = awareness Instead of Ananda( bliss ) = love And I just added the word silence because These four words are now commonly used in advaita talks as pointers to our natural state, who we really are and also these are the most common words used to describe actual experiences. For example it seems to me that: Stuart Schwartz prefers silence, because he is very good at taking people into silence; Mooji prefers the word awareness; Jim Dreaver likes spacious awareness; etc; I like all four because they do point to my own actual experiences to one degree or another; for instance, years ago my heart opened and one of the insights was that Pure Love permeates all space similarly like gravity permeates all space so I could have used the ordinary words Space-Awareness-Love instead of the more esoteric/scientific Existence-Consciousness-Bliss However, perhaps I did use a little poetic license adding Silence and using adjectives Silent-Spacious-Loving-Awareness Silence, space and awareness are all formless; therefore nondual; I do not agree that space need imply duality; actually in physics space-time should perhaps be distance-time because these terms refer to measurable parameters; here, I am using the spiritual meaning of space as in expanded awareness, perhaps experienced while looking up at the sky. Love when meant pure love, omnipresent sufficient unto itself, is also nondual In any case, since Awareness is nondual, its adjectives Silent-Spacious-Loving are merely intended as pointers, which connect our ordinary experiences with our natural state as Awareness, which heretofore has been described in esoteric words, implying an extraordinary state reserved only for a few an unattainable for most. But now, even non-meditators and non-seekers are awakening to some degree or another, and some seem open to these simple pointers instead of the more esoteric/scientific ones. So, instead of using pointers ( which however work beautifully for some or served others well in the past ) Thou Art That, or I Am That I Am, or your true nature is existence-consciousness-bliss all I need to say to those interested is you are spacious-loving-silent-awareness that is who you really are that is your true state that is your natural state both very ordinary and very extraordinary again let me remind us that these words are only pointers, and there are many others like Presence, Now, Beingness, Emptiness, Fullness, Permanent, Impermanent, unchanging, ever-changing, absolute, relative, right here, right now, etc, etc and their true value is in their effectiveness which various from person to person; perhaps, it's the intention behind the words that needs to be discerned by the listener even for ordinary communication to be effective. the Toa that can be named is not it ~ Lao Tzu, one of many translations the intellect like scissors separates and creates confusion; the heart like thread and needle unites and un-creates confusion ~ paraphrased Amma everything I tell you is a lie, in the sense that words are not it ~ paraphrased Adyashanti words are like alarm clocks; you may awaken or roll over and go back to dreaming creation ~ just came to me
[FairfieldLife] One of most translated popular books on planet earth ?
Is Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu From www.thetao.info http://www.thetao.info/ In ancient China about 2500 years ago, the keeper of the Imperial Library, Lao Tzu, was famous for his wisdom. Perceiving the growing corruption of the government, he left for the countryside. On his way, the guard at the city gates asked Lao Tzu to write out the essence of his understanding to benefit future generations. Lao Tzu wrote the Tao Te Ching, left, and was never heard of again. The Tao Te Ching (also called The Tao, The Dao or the Dao De Jing), by Lao Tzu, is one of the most influential books in history. It is the source of famous Chinese sayings such as Those who know do not speak, those who speak, do not know Even a 1,000 mile journey starts with a single step. Chapter 1 The Tao that can be trodden is not the enduring and unchanging Tao. The name that can be named is not the enduring and unchanging name. (Conceived of as) having no name, it is the Originator of heaven and earth; (conceived of as) having a name, it is the Mother of all things. Always without desire we must be found, If its deep mystery we would sound; But if desire always within us be, Its outer fringe is all that we shall see. Under these two aspects, it is really the same; but as development takes place, it receives the different names. Together we call them the Mystery. Where the Mystery is the deepest is the gate of all that is subtle and wonderful. Here's one I've been reading that includes the complete works of Lao Tzu: Tao Teh Ching Hua Hu Ching translated by Taoist Master Ni Hua Ching The Tao Teh Ching is one of the most frequently translated and most cherished works in the world. This ancient Chinese classic, written around 500 B.C, presents the core of Taoist philosophy and provides a bridge to the subtle truth as well as a practical guideline for natural and harmonious living. It is generally believed that Lao Tzu left behind only a single work, the Tao Teh Ching. Few people are aware that some of his later teachings were recorded (also around 500 B.C) in a book entitled the Hua Hu Ching. During a time of political turmoil in the 14th century, all copies of this work were banned and ordered to be burned. Consequently, few, if any, complete and accurate copies exist today. Fortunately, the complete teachings of the Hua Hu Ching have been preserved through the oral transmission of generation after generation of Taoist Masters to their disciples. Master Ni, heir to that orally transmitted wisdom, has translated the Hua Hu Ching and also the Tao Teh Ching. Both works are now available in one volume, The Complete Works of Lao Tzu. Master Ni, Hua-Ching is fully acknowledged and empowered as a true Master of Tao. He is heir to the wisdom transmitted through an unbroken succession of seventy four generations of Taoist Masters from 216 B.C. As a young boy, he was educated by his family and then studied more than thirty one years in the high mountains of China becoming fully achieved in all aspects of Taoist science, metaphysics and arts. His teachings carry the essence of all ancient achievement. Here's the first chapter: Tao, the path of subtle truth, cannot be conveyed with words. That which can be conveyed with words is merely a relative conception. Although names have been applied to it, the subtle truth is indescribable. One may designate Nothingness as the origin of the universe, And Beingness as the mother of the myriad things. From the perspective of Nothingness, one may perceive the gentle operation of the universe. From the perspective of Beingness, one may distinguish individual things. Although differently named, Nothingness and Beingness are one indivisible whole. The truth is so subtle. As the ultimate subtlety, it is the Gate of All Wonders. There are many other translations, some are available online for free to read or download as pdf files @ http://www.stillness.com/tao/index.html http://www.stillness.com/tao/index.html and there are several other links with free downloads another free eBook @ http://www.beatrice.com/TAO.pdf http://www.beatrice.com/TAO.pdf or buy @ http://www.beatrice.com/wordpress/tao-te-ching http://www.beatrice.com/wordpress/tao-te-ching If you can talk about it, it ain't Tao. If it has a name, it's just another thing. Tao doesn't have a name. Names are for ordinary things. Stop wanting stuff; it keeps you from seeing what's real. When you want stuff, all you see are things. Those two sentences mean the same thing. Figure them out, and you've got it made.

[FairfieldLife] Deepak Chopra failed to prove existence of God to atheists
Deepak Chopra failed to prove existence of God to atheists I watched two videos of Deepak dialoging with atheists. In one case, the atheist was obviously aggressively angry from the start and Deepak kept his cool. But all Deepak did was condescend by displaying his brilliant mind of concepts from physics, medicine, spirituality which sound impressive but In the second case, it was Deepak himself who got angry and the atheist kept his cool neither being impressed by Deepak's tirade of brilliance, nor getting angry. In this case the atheist won my standard of spirituality by maintaining a more peaceful environment. I was not too surprised, as I saw a few times in the distant past, brilliant physicists with huge egos from Princeton U tear into each other with unnecessary ruthlessness at research seminars. Also, to me, it seems, that Deepak, like many others with TM backgrounds are stuck in a time-warp and refusing to move on perhaps to try something new that might work better relative to different situations to advaita dialog for instance or something new and novel after all, doesn't Deepak know that all concepts are relative and not absolute and if you want to influence the masses, simple talking points are best just watch politics So, just exploring here a bit; would it not be more impressive if Deepak could dialogue as follows: ATHEIST:Can you prove to me the existence of God? AWAKENED: Sure! Do you know that you exist right here right now? ATHEIST:Well, I think I exist, here is my body etc. AWAKENED: Forget about thinking, forget about body, just relax. My question is, do you know without thinking about it that you exist right here and right now? ATHEIST:[after some silence in presence of the awakened one] OK, I exist right here right now. AWAKENED: Obviously, it would be foolish to deny your own existence. ATHEIST:OK, so what about God? AWAKENED: Existence itself is God. It is on the substratum of existence itself that everything else exists. Existence itself is your own direct experience in the here and now. To deny it would be like saying I have no tongue with the tongue. ATHEIST:[dumfounded, speechless, mind stopped for a while] AWAKENED: Actually, the title of our debate should have been What Is God? rather than What is the Future of God which obviously refers to our conceptions of God rather than direct experience. Our conceptions, scientific, spiritual, political, economical etc will continue to change this way and that way, but without direct experience they are meaningless, just fodder for endless debates. AWAKENED: So, now we can sit here silently; or go home, and don't forget to take existence with you. thanks for listening, anatol

[FairfieldLife] Re: Liberalism/Socialism at variance with Natural Law.
Namaste, The golden rule is not merely a guideline recommending how people should live their lives due to the consequences of one's actions, but it's also an infallible cosmic law which does not need man's efforts to enforce it. The golden rule applies to everyone, liberals, conservatives, sinners and saints. Liberalism and conservatism, on the other hand, are labels that express attitudes and each has its own pros and cons. Example of pros: Liberalism stands for generosity while conservatism stands for frugality. On the surface, these look like opposites. But, according to intentions they can actually be complementary. By being frugal, not spending on unnecessary things for oneself, one can save and be more generous in helping the poor. And by all means commit yourself totally to helping the poor by teaching them to fish, etc. But don't be a hypocrite and refuse to give a fish right away when needed because you're waiting to teach. There is really no need for two political parties to polarize what they stand for, if there is honesty, humility and unselfish will to serve the people. And , it is plain silly to polarize and try to live by one and not the other because it's actually impossible to do so. This explains why there is so much hypocrisy in politics, religion, business, etc, because of polarizing principles which are actually needed to complement each other. What seems to be responsible for polarizing: ignorance, fear, and giving in to hate. Example of cons: Conservatives say `they want small government.' But this is only to make it their government not at all small. Obviously, selfishness, hypocrisy and power are the motives here and not at all honesty, humility and unselfish will to serve the people. Free market capitalism: free for whom ? billionaire monopolies or for the little guys? Let's drop the silly label capitalism, and be for free markets for everyone except the monopolies, because monopolies impose slavery on everyone else. The anti-trust laws are simply the golden rule manifesting to curb the selfishness and arrogance of the monopolies. According to the golden rule, by helping the poor you are ensuring that you will not be poor in your next life. On the other hand, by helping yourself only, you are ensuring that you will be poor in your next life time. The problem is that most do not understand or believe that the golden rule is an infallible cosmic law and therefore feel that through cleverness they can get away with being selfish. Having said all this, currently, there are those who are hell bent on adharmic ways and those who are trying their best to go with dharmic ways.

this is all psycho-talk ! --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, one.li...@... one.li...@... wrote: Ammachi: A Western Renunciate's Experiences behind the Scenes I feel so relieved to finally be free from this 7 year long damaging dependency with Mata Amritanandamayi and her organization. Although the depths of my devotion were seemingly bottomless, and I would have done anything to gain her favor, somehow I have managed to extract myself from this bona fide cult masquerading as a charitable organization. I am relieved to know that others too are waking up from the intricate web of subterfuge. I struggled for the last two years trying to imagine life without the guru, and I know how hard it is to undo the neural connections linking Amma to every aspect of thought. I understand why for some it will be extremely difficult or downright impossible to break the bonds of this mind controlling sect. The truth about the Hugging Saint and the ancient manipulative techniques she employs, along with the scandals her devotees have orchestrated will sober up the more astute among us. But the hordes of unsuspecting, innocent, guileless infants having divorced their real parents and lives, in order to clutch full-time to their Amma dolls, with mantras for pacifiers, while jockeying for Amma's mere glance, I feel really sorry for. Nothing can help them because the elaborate programming won't allow any thoughts contrary to that of Amma being god. Even rational people will have a hard time accepting that what they gave all their time, resources and heart to was merely a charismatic bamboozling village girl. Even those who have left (and there are many) are still subtly afraid of retribution from Amma psychically or more tangibly from her army of ardent devotees. In Amritapuri, India, I was not quite in the innermost circle but had revealing contact for years with those closest to Amma and by all measure would be considered an insider. Being very outgoing myself I made friends with all who didn't hate me because of my frequent close proximity to Amma and her personal handmaidens. I got in with all the high ups to glean insight into Amma's mystical world. I wasn't shy in my conquests and thereby gained access which others could not. I rode on the waves of bliss as I got to do special tasks for Ammachi and before Ammachi. I reveled in being needed and called while everyone else chopped vegetables. I reverently breathed, meditated and did continuous awareness exercises which amplified my bliss to unprecedented heights. Amma seemed to like it. Unfortunately, most if not many people skimp on the practices and spend their time doing selfless service, moping around in devotional yearning, or gossiping and stuffing their faces at the western canteen. I took a more maniacal approach toward everything from diet to speech to every moment of my day being accounted for. It was very revealing and not by any means the only time in my life I experienced altered states of consciousness. (I do take the stand that it can all be explained scientifically even Amma's psychic abilities. We laypersons just get flabbergasted when someone has somewhat refined their mental energy and mistake them for god.) It all went well, the visions of various deities, loud music spontaneously in ears, the exalted emotional states. Eventually reality seeped back in and my life became a struggle to earn enough money to go to India and get my fix year after year. Each time a little more magic evaporated, yet I still decided to become a renunciate (a full time resident who gives their life to the ashram) It only costs $16,000 if interested. But I noticed people were growing more unhealthy, the air quality seemed to get exponentially worse, the water filters seemed to be rusting and my duties became more clear. The honeymoon was over. One angelic young girl actually died of a tumor that spread throughout her whole body. She was 18 and spent almost her entire life there. I personally believe she died because of lack of nutrition and the toxins in the air and water surrounding the ashram. Of course Amma in her omniscience suggested tuberculosis and sent her to AIMS (one of Amma's hospitals) only to be misdiagnosed and screwed around for the last year of her life. Finally when they found the tumor it was too late. This compounded with the sheer insanity of virtually all the residents, the inability to get healthy nourishment, Amma's rehearsed daily routine, everyone's angry pent up explosive sexual energy, and the now complete impossibility to find any solitude or even quiet anywhere at any time within the ashram, had me at my wits end. I started to question where this conforming, contentious, fearful, repressed new personality I adopted was going to lead me. Would I become as neurotic, diseased, insalubrious

Why can't a peaceful transformation occur in these Muslim countries just as it happened in the collapse of the USSR, East Germany, Poland and other European countries. Would take lot more of softening up before they culturally could transcend and transform. Yes they pray 5x's a day but is a good example of how prayer is not necessarily transcendental or spiritual. Need to work more at softening the field. More meditation everywhere around them. Find universalist Muslimists inside the muslim world who are open to receive the message of transcendent nature within. Is a damned dark part of the world causing a lot of trouble for everyone else. Is such ignorance in a modern spiritual world. Will take more light on the problem all around them. Personally, I suspect that the damned and dark place of the world is more likely to be inhabited by the people who cling to elitist fantasies that they are somehow responsible for events that just happened over the natural course of time than it is anyone else. If you ran into Muslims who said that they *personally* were responsible for causing the collapse of the USSR, East Germany, Poland, and other countries, through the power of their daily prayers, you'd probably con- sider them nutjobs, or at the very least legends in their own minds, right? Well, that's what many of us think of TMers who claim with a straight face that *they* brought all of these things about by bouncing on their butts. More light on the problem is not IMO likely to come from those lost in the darkness of ego, elitism, and hubris. My favorite songwriter Bruce Cockburn once stated his aspirations as follows: To be one more voice in the human choir rising like smoke from the mystical fire of the heart... Not the most important voice, not the voice that causes things to happen...just one more voice. There is humility in this credo. There is none in your recurring posts about the supposed importance of meditators. Whether these posts are put-ons or serious, I for one am tiring of them. I have meditated regularly for over forty years. I have taught meditation and been surrounded by thousands of fellow meditators. In that time I have seen no evidence that meditators are any more special, spiritual, or important to the world and its future than anyone else on this planet. And given a choice between increasing the numbers of TM meditators -- who on the whole believe that they need do nothing whatsoever to monitor or control their behavior and their emotions, only meditate -- and people who work on a daily basis *outside of meditation* to make their actions more in harmony with their ideals of ethics and ethical behavior, I'd go for the latter any day.

[FairfieldLife] Insurance Does Not Work for Health Care !
my response on another forum: Phil, I agree with your point that involvement of private insurance companies doesn't add ANYTHING to our health care financing system. Here's my 2cents about insurance. Insurance works fine only if a small percentage of participants actually need to use it, like for automobile accidents and home disasters. It doesn't work for health care because everyone needs health care, at least the basics. It seems that nations that have universal health care and universal education, have realized that insurance cannot work for something that everyone needs and that they need to set aside the appropriate funds for this which everyone has to contribute in a universal way. I think, it's called common sense and compassionate sharing and caring for each other. Another point being missed is that neither insurance nor medical care is the primary cause of good health. I mentioned PREVENTION as an essential element of any successful health care system both for finances and for good health. Q came up how prevention standards would be regulated. My reply: Prevention has to be an educational type of thing, not mandatory standards. Although many( like Dr Fuhrman, Dr Ornish, the China Study, others ) are contributing to this education, it doesn't seem enough yet. However, there is the disputed hundredth monkey effect which offers hope if you want to believe in it. The hundredth-monkey effect is a supposed phenomenon in which a learned behavior spreads instantaneously from one group of monkeys to all related monkeys once a critical number is reached from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hundredth-monkey_effect http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hundredth-monkey_effect So, if enough of us plug away and gently persuade some of our friends, maybe the threshold will be reached soon. Some believe the hundredth-monkey effect is similar to a threshold, like reaching the boiling point of water, during which a distinct phase transition occurs. One way this could happen is: some billionaire like Oprah opens a nationwide chain of GREEN Restaurants featuring Dr Fuhrman's Eat To Live diet or something in that direction. I also believe that enough of us praying for the health of everyone on planet earth will help. Thanks for listening, Anatol
[FairfieldLife] Re: Norway enjoys the world's highest quality of life = insurance does not work
here is my 2 cents why Norway is doing it right it's because insurance does not work for health insurance works fine for autos and homes because only a small % of all autos and homes have accidents or burn insurance could work for health if most people were healthy but take health stats in America: 80% overweight, 30% obese, 50% heart, 30% cancer, diabetes, allergies, arthritis, mental,and many other diseases insurance does not work for health care, because most( not just some) of the people need it and, of course, neither insurance nor medical care is what really keeps people healthy so while people are fighting over how to fix health care system, no one is asking the right question: how to promote/improve/create health among all Americans? example how insurance supposed to work: take 100 people pool their fair share of $ which is kept for unexpected accidents, etc this works as long as only say 10 or 20 of the 100 people have unexpected accidents when the number withdrawing $ from the pool increases, the system doesn't work anymore if a nation wants basic health care and education for all its citizens, then the money has to be set aside for that by everyone even then the system can fail if the citizens do not follow healthy lifestyles( prevention, exercise, spirituality, compassion, sharing and caring instead of greed ) to paraphrase Amma: greed is the cause of all the problems in the world and love, compassion, selfless-service is the only real solution --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, off_world_beings no_re...@... wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, WillyTex willytex@ wrote: Apparently the tax rate in Norway goes all the way up to 28% in payroll deductions in order to pay for 'free' health care.

This is exactly what I and many have been praying for, someone with courage to speak the truth. It amazes me how most politicians and the media try to treat lies and truth on an equal footing. That's nonsense, that's not being objective, that's being delusional, that's living in a brutal world of fear, ignorance, darkness. My hope is that other Democrats and especially President Obama follow suit and eventually most Americans will also become brave and be able to distinguish between truth/love/compassion and lies/fear/selfishness. Fear is the opposite of Love. Word of Caution: If the President signs a bill without a strong Public Option, that will be disaster for the nation, for the democrats and for Obama. Perhaps now, is the time to strike and speak the whole truth: that the only way to fix our sick health care system is to get the Greedy Insurance Co out of the ball game completely, at least as far as providing Basic Care for Everyone. Obviously, they are not interested in that at all. Let's go for a universal Medicare for All to provide basic care for every American. Then let private insurance companies cater to the wealthy, and stay away from exploiting the poor. Here is my letter to President Obama: Dear President Obama, I strongly believe that it is better, much better, to stand for truth rather than compromise with untruths. Here is my $.02 POV on truth about America's health care or lack of it. While I strongly support your efforts to improve our Health Care, I am deeply concerned that: 1) the opposition is all based on greed, lies, and fears financially promoted by the insurance companies. 2) too many Senators( especially Max Baucaus ) and Representatives are representing the special interests and their own greed instead of the people. How to make a Real Health Care system work: 1) my own POV is that the only reasonable honest workable approach is to have Medicare for All with improved regulations to make it financially sound and with a very strong PREVENTION PROGRAM included. PREVENTION is the key that would make everyone healthier which in turn would make the MEDICARE FOR ALL a real HEALTH CARE approach instead of simply disease management. 2) I strongly oppose mandatory insurance and point out that we are the only industrial nation in the world that lacks the compassion and good common sense to have a universal health care system that provides better health at lower costs.

excellent talk by Maharishi given in 1962, but here is my comment 2009: it is hard to follow Maharishi's advice( last few paragraphs ) during these extremely difficult times ; and it seems it was hard for Maharishi to follow his own advice; this was given in 1962, so for a few decades, he did really well focusing only on positivity, it seemed to me, but then he started to call President Bush a rakshasa( a demon ); so these are truly difficult times for everyone but the advice Maharishi gave is still excellent and wise to try ones best --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Rick Archer r...@... wrote: From an audio (No 8) recorded in Hochgurgel in 1962 (Thanks to Jörg Schenk) Maharishi speaks about Karma Some selected points: Maharishi: Who is the doer (of the Karma)? The doer is the ego, the mind. Although the senses perform the action, but the senses are not the doer. The doer is the thinker within. So the thinker, as long as it is associated with the body, it is associated with the body. But the doer is that thinker, that subtle body, that Jiva. If he casts away this body, goes to the other body, he will be caught by that action in the other body. Body doesn't matter. What matters is the doer and what he has done As I was saying, the vibrations (of the Karma) return from the wall, from the sun, from millions of miles. There are galaxies in the world from where the light takes millions of years to reach the earth. When the vibrations reach so far and strike against that and then will be rebound and come back, millions of years have passed already. So the effect of the Karma done now is not received all at once. It keeps on being received from time to time, for (?) all eternity. The effect in the vicinity of the doer is maximum, but the effect is created throughout the universe, whatever little effect at far distances, but it is created and all this effect has to come back Every second that we are producing some Karma, we are storing the fruit of that Karma to be born for millions of years Thoughts are the seed of Karma, very powerful seed. The seed in its seed status is very potent. If you have thoughts of injuring a man, you have injured the whole creation, already injured in the subtle state Future after death depends on what a man has done throughout life. But the next goal, where he will be born, mainly depends on the desire at the time of death, the desire at the time of death Question: Is there a difference of a bad Karma done intentionally or unintentionally? Maharishi: Intentionally, because his attention was there, then the effect will be more intensive. But the effect will be on the same line Question: If I have a bad son and have to beat him, is this bad Karma? Maharishi: It is the Karma of the son that brings him beating and it is the Karma of the father that makes him sorry If I do some sin and in this room there is no one, I think nobody has seen it. But it has been exposed to the whole universe. Everyone in the universe knows it. And somehow that will be delivered to us back by all the agencies in the universe, knowing or unknowing. You can't stop the evolution. If you commit sin in the room, then you are creating sinful vibrations. And sinful vibrations means, wherever they go they damage the evolution of that thing. Someone speaks ill of the other and plans damaging him, very underknees plan, nothing on the surface, damaging the entire creation by his mischief. Because the agency of thought is just vibration. That is why scriptures forbid us speaking ill of others, or damaging someone or doing harm, because apparently we seem to be harming him but eventually we have to be harmed by our own doing of the harm to someone else. To save the doer the teaching is Don't do any bad thing to anyone. Don't commit sin, go for virtue, help thy neighbour, so that thy maybe helped. In India we have the proverb that if someone speaks ill of the other he partakes his sin If you call someone a fool, then the vibrations of foolery have been spread in the whole creation and that foolery will return back to you, from all sides. Because man has that highly evolved nervous system. This great responsibility is on to man and not to animals. The responsibility of good and bad deeds, sin and virtue, this is for man and not for animals. Because man is in that position to understand how the Karma acts, how his action influences the whole creation and then he is influenced back by the same Try to do all good that you can, all your energy in doing good, but don't put your energy in criticizing the bad of someone. It is a waste of energy. Because, now when you are meditating, you are bringing that stable state of bliss consciousness in your mind. That is sublimenting the state of the mind. At this state, if you keep on bringing bad things talking ill of others and
