What you need is HIGHLY INDIVIDUAL.  That is even the cornerstone ayurveda.  
One form of nutritional typing will diagnose looking at the individual's 
electrolyte balance.  Some will need a different calcium to magnesium balance 
and maybe a different sodium to potassium balance.  It reflects the metabolic 
rate which is also HOW ayurveda and Chinese medicine works.

Depends upon the calcium.  Calcium carbonate or citrate?  Citrate might not do 
that.  My background in metabolic typing, where vitamin supplements are used, 
the parasympathetic type supplement uses calcium citrate.  Parasympathetic 
types are often kapha.

Like many here probably did back in the 1970s you'll learn the hard way.
 

 Diet is principally governed by genetics.  That's why people from India can 
get away with a vegetarian diet but people from colder reasons cannot.  It 
takes generations to adapt too.
 

 Climate change has more to do with the sun than anything else.  But it's 
always good to reduce pollution.

How old are you?  Younger people can experiment with these things but as you 
get older extreme diets can have a disastrous effect.  Even younger folks will 
have a hard time with extreme diets done too long.  I have been working with 
dietetic principles since the 1970s.  You have to eat what is right for you not 
for the world.

 We had all kinds of idealist diet ideas back in our 20s too.  Remember the 
"macrobiotic diet" and the brown rice?  I then bought Michio Kushi's book and

 Most people who eat meat and dairy though are probably eating more than they 
need to and even Paul McCartney's "Meatless Mondays" (or any day) would have a 
positive impact. 

 

 Don't waste your time on stupid articles by statisticians or bad science 
studies (and often written by clueless journalists).  Pay more attention to 
nutritionists who understand metabolism.  Both Chinese medicine and Ayurveda 
have understood this for centuries.  The modern western version is metabolic or

 Apparently everybody misapplies it, India isn’t exactly known for its

 It works but not so well at a superficial level.  Lack of prosperity probably

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,

given strong incentives for reducing GHG emissions. Set at 
proper levels, that could have mitigated much of the dire climate

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

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

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.

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.

A time-honored and useful tradition in many circumstances and

equivalent to the US, China, European Union and Australia combined – 
and still feed the world. Loss of wild areas to agriculture is the

"Appetite for meat is rocketing as the global population swells and

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Carnivore diet changed his life!

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

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.

[FairfieldLife] Sacred Games

Netflix has this new crime drama series "Sacred Games" which takes place 
in Mumbai.  This is not your typical hokey Bollywood TV show and more 
like the excellent drama series we see coming out of Europe.  It's

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

Back around 1990 I bought Trump's "The Art of the Deal" board game for 
friends as a Christmas present. My friends always seemed to beat me at 
Monopoly but they couldn't with this game.  I think it was because the 
concept was simple and mainly you just blundered ahead and things came 
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 
myself a good businessman for one reason: I'm more like an attorney and 
seem to think of all the bad things that could wrong just blundering 
ahead.  But I know business people who just blunder ahead without 
thinking but somehow things come out right. Not good for ulcers.


Here's a video I watched yesterday with some famously rich CEOs talking 
about Trump's "Art of the Deal" and what they disagree with:

Mastering siddhis is just one step along the path.  There are many 
siddhis and perfecting them can take a long time.  Other systems have 
Sanskrit versions of the siddhis.  But enlightenment is the goal and 
some people accomplish that with just a little meditation.  TM is only 
one system of many.  In India if one guru's system doesn't work for you 
then you move on to another one.

grew up with was a produce broker and was enjoying a thriving business 
selling produce to the commune.  As a shortcut from the town to trips to 
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.


I will be watching the final episode (6) tonight.  It's been an

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 
dominant 7th chord.  But there's all kinds of alterations to harmony

the researchers report today in Royal Society Open Science. But there 
were some regional differences: Songs from Asia and Oceania tended to 
be more positive than songs from North America, whereas songs from 
Scandinavia tended to be more negative (thanks to the popularity there

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 
Beato at You Tube has an excellent tutorial for playing bebop. style 
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 
and pepper in one's music repertoire.

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.

Most simply lurk the conversations from the home page of FairfieldLife

For instance, this request for membership came in:

My husband and I are sidhas living in MN ... we come down to FF at

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.

Only part of Mike's definition is correct. Most people confuse

enterprise.  It allows you to work for yourself.  If the government 
puts hurdles in your way then it is good to remember you are part 
owner of the government and demand some change.  You can fight city 
hall as I learned many, many years ago.


I doubt that Mike participates in capitalism.  I have.  I was a

different ballgame than just free enterprise. Wall Street is also a 
gambling den.

Yes, the trend is toward small business.  Look at the big box stores 
closing.  And you've both Walmart and Amazon automating.  I have a 
Walmart one mile away.  Recently I needed a new refer water filter.  
They had it on the shelf for $45 but online for $32 but with this 
little note "pick it up today".  So what you do is order online and 
they send you an email it is ready to pick up which it was in a couple 
hours.  The clerk at the pickup station told me that Walmart wants to 
encourage ordering online so they give the better price there.  Last 
year they listed a 55" 4K TV for $428.  It was not to be found on the 
floor so I asked and the clerk told me to order online.  I did and 
that afternoon was able to go over and pick up.


As for small business, our downtown is under mass remodeling and 
gentrification.  Much of the deserted shops are being remodeled to 
accommodate two or three smaller shops.  A pizza slice place recently 
opened targeted $5 lunches.  Next door a frozen yogurt place has 
opened. Millennials have discovered this town as an affordable place 
to buy or rent.  When I go to the park around the corner it is filled 
with millennial moms with their kids.  Bad thing is the commute these 
people must do for work due to the narcissistic nature of the tech 
founders that like their kingdom under one roof when they could have 
satellite campuses (as the company I worked for in the 1990s had).


Biggest mess that many governments have gotten themselves into was 
offering pensions that pay in retirement what the worker had as a 
salary. Now tell me how that is supposed to work?  It can't and now 
they're finding out.  Pension benefits were never meant to be that large.

Again, not possible that you would know ahead of the conclusion of the 
investigation(s) in progress. (The operative phrase here is *in 
progress.*)  Are you really trying to tell me that you are basing your 
conclusions on what the couple of people that have provided public 
testimony have said so far?  Seriously?  You are livin' in a 
dreamworld.


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.

Trump is done and it is just a matter of time.  The Republicans are

through, but they will cave to impeachment eventually. My reason for 
this is that they are tanking in the polls are have shown their true 
colors to enough of their constituents that they will lose the 2018 
election if they don't impeach Don John.
It's probably too late for their party, but they will impeach him 
before the end of next summer so that they don't look complicit and 
salvage the November election as much as possible.  If they want to 
hold onto as much power as possible, then the Republicans will need 
to impeach him. I think this because I believe enough damage will be

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.

From this episode, I'd have to say I'm experiencing muscle stiffness 
of  the arms and thighs that appears like arthritis, but a western 
trained doctor says it isn't.  I'm glad that it isn't.  But I'll 
continue taking the ayurvedic herbal tablets to loosen up the muscles, 
and do a reasonable amount of exercise for good health.


Probably the colder damp spring we're having in the Bay Area. It hasn't

According to Brighu Saral Paddati, another jyotish method apart from 
Parasara and Jaimini, this episode of my life should end by midsummer 
2017 when this current period of Saturn ends.  Amen.

And there's nothing wrong with experiencing the kriyas. It really is 
unstressing but not well understood in TM.  It's just the shakti pushing

@UltraRishi

Thanks for your post. Congratulations on your navigation through 
kriyas and kundalini!


Kriyas are what TM teachers used to call “movements in meditation”. 
Surprisingly, TMers, other Eastern spiritual movements, and even 
Christian Charismatics have kriyas. There is a hilarious YouTube video 
put to a Jerry Lee Lewis tune that shows the gyrations/kriyas of 
Charismatic Christians. The video is entitled “Whole Lotta Shakin' 
Goin' On! Holy Roller Style!” and is at 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWVHpm49tOU.


From my book describing kriyas during instruction in the TM-Sidhi on 
levitation:“Some participants had rather violent head movements, the 
torsos of some shook like dogs throwing off water from a bath, others 
had their backs locked in an arch, and others had spontaneous 
vocalizations of screams, barks, and nonsense syllables.”

The first time I tried meditation, out of book, kundalini rose and 
filled my head with light as if I was in the center of the sun.  It left 
me disoriented for months.  I was only expecting some mild relaxation 
and not what I got.

To me, a kundalini crisis is an overwhelming mind-body experience 
caused by spiritual practices.
Many spiritual movements speak of the kundalini energy center and its 
role in enlightenment. It is a fairly common conception that a huge 
burst of energy from the kundalini center can create an overwhelming 
experience akin to mania.
I don’t think I ever heard Maharishi speak of kundalini, but I had 
conversations with other TM teachers about kundalini over the years. 
Here is a link to a transcript of Maharishi speaking about kundalini 
in 1968 http://institutespiritualsciences.org/blog_mmy/mmykundalini.php

Here is an excerpt from my book:

The most scientific description of kundalini crises that I have found 
is in the 1992 book, /The Kundalini Experience/ by Lee Sannella, M.D. 
Sannella interviewed people who had come through kundalini crises. He 
came up with 4 categories of experience: motor, sensory, 
non-physiological, and interpretive.


As *motor*phenomena, Sannella listed kriyas and unusual breathing 
patterns. Under *sensory*phenomena, he listed tickling sensations, 
heat and cold sensations, inner light, inner sounds, and pain in the 
eyes, head, spine, or elsewhere. Under *non-physiological* phenomena, 
Sannella listed out-of-body experiences and psychic perceptions.


As *interpretive*phenomena, Sannella listed both positive and negative 
feelings that could be experienced with much greater intensity than 
usual such as ecstasy, love, cosmic harmony, fear and confusion. He 
stated that the thinking process could be speeded up or inhibited. The 
mental experience could be detachment, hysteria, a state akin to 
schizophrenia, or the delusion of having been divinely chosen.


Here are my symptoms which match Sannella’s descriptions:

●When my kundalini crisis began, I had tingling all over my body. It 
felt like a continuous, small electric shock sensation which was 
pleasant and exciting.


●I had extreme feelings of joy and thankfulness that seemed to be 
related to my thoughts that I was enlightened. When I had delusions 
about achieving even higher states of consciousness, I would 
subsequently be so ecstatic and so thankful that I would start to cry.


●All of my feelings were experienced with greater intensity than 
usual. When I spoke, I spoke like a fire-brand preacher. My voice 
almost became raspy as if I had been yelling at a sporting event.


●I thought I had earned a special relationship with God and nature.

I am rather curious about this. What is a kundalini crisis?

Some people do have trouble with TM's effects, everyone has a 
different nervous system, and some have problems, and the movement 
does not always handle these things well.
Unlike some systems TM does not have any real qualifications for 
starting.


For example to study Vedanta you might be required at the outset to have:

  * an open mind
  * a reasonable mind
  * a discriminating mind
  * a dispassionate mind
  * a disciplined, observant mind
  * a sense of self duty
  * forbearance, motivation, and devotion to the goal
  * a certain level of critical thinking but not overly critical
  * a temperament for overcoming obstacles
  * a proper teacher and good fortune to have and find these

TM lets in all kinds of people with few restraints, but as a result a 
lot of crazies get by who are not prepared for what can happen. The 
path to enlightenment is not all bliss. It can get very very gritty.
I think a lot of people get in who have a lot of strange beliefs and 
propensities that then go off the rails when they start having unusual 
experiences, or begin to experience heavy unstressing.
TM, while it talks of unstressing, it does not really prepare people 
for how intense it can be, and you need to have mental tools to handle 
what comes up.
I do not think most people really realize how screwed up they are 
before they start to meditate, especially if they get it in their 
bonnet that they are now on the fast track to enlightenment, they then 
presume too much about their progress.
A lot of meditators are still just close to being qualified by the 
criteria above after meditating for half a century.
That TM is easy to practice is deceptive in the sense that it alone 
cannot prepare one for some very strange experiences. That ease of 
practice does allow a lot of people to be taught, but a lot of 
concerns that can come up get swept under the rug, and TM teachers are

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



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



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



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

Shaktipat is actually quite easy as some of the folks who learned it 
form the traveling gurus who visited Fairfield and taught it was well as 
those who went to India to learn it from another traveling show.  I 
learned from my tantra guru. However there are some qualifications for 
giving it out and avoiding depleting one's self of shakti.


As I have said before, we were taught to give out beej mantras (the "a" 
is silent in Hindi) because they don't actually require activation.  The 
puja probably helps.  Some people might not get results but even with 
the puja some people did not get results.  I also know someone who got 
shaktipat and the Shiva mantra at a Muktananda SYDA center and had no 
results. He was even from a spiritual family (parents were 
Rosicrucian).  So mileage may vary.


TM didn't keep up with the times.  Back in the 1960s folks were used to 
going to courses in evenings (starting a 8 PM not 6 PM). But nowadays a 
simpler weekend course should suffice which what other paths do.

an unobservable Shakti effect that people can feel especially when 
radiated by certain Gurus (like Muktananda)  through "Shaktipat".


Instead of attempting to appropriate a sense of scientific validity by 
using scientific jargon, just call it what it is:  Shakti.


Anybody meditating over a relatively short time should have developed 
in internal "Shakti meter" than enables them to discern the Shakti, 
especially when the Shakti is highly concentrated (such as the Domes 
perhaps).


Since I've never been in a Dome, I can't testify to that, but I've 
been in other places such as the 'Ramakrishna Vedanta Temple in Hollywood.




On another topic, tampering with TM in an attempt to make it more 
"palatable" to those unfamiliar with it, may easily backfire.  Since, 
if one eliminates the puja in a bogus attempt to say that TM has no 
religious roots, a major source of Shakti is eliminated.


Simply learning the mantras from a book will eliminate the Shakti 
altogether, although a small remnant may remain in certain mantras 
such as "OM NAMAH SHIVAYA"., and the Shakti may be magnified by tuning 
into the Youtube presentations of experienced Pundits chanting that

For instance, one way or another being known for some social action

As with the early Quaker movement moving on from a more narrow

what once began in time as identified spiritual regenerative movement

revolutionary education, health, food safety, agricultural,

As you know Yahoo was breached three years ago and they only recently 
acknowledged it and told users to change their passwords.  Problem is 
their software is broken and people are finding their changes don't 
work.  Very, very stupid programming.


I don't know of any sinkholes over here.  I know there were some in the 
south bay as well as some bad flooding down there.  Around here we worry 
about potholes, more a result of lack of funds since they need to fund 
oversized pensions they granted to city workers.  Richmond is going 
bankrupt trying to do that.  Those pensions should have never been 
offered like that.

On another note, I hope your town has been spared the floodings and 
sinkholes that occurred due to the heavy rain in Northern California.

We certainly have facilities for accommodation, we could easily

from the floods there.

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

I got through about half of it so far. Warning, the narrator 
mispronounces some of the Sanskrit terms and I don't think the 
filmmakers were all that knowledgeable of that tradition.  Still an 
interesting watch.


I signed up for 4 devices on my Netflix account which gives me 4K on my 
4K TV.  I enjoyed "Santa Clarita Diet" in extra crispy 4K and I'm 
watching the second season of "Daredevil" in 4K. I have "Zero Days" on 
my watchlist.


If you are familiar at all with southeastern Washington, the movie "The 
River Thief" was shot in Lewiston, Moscow, Pullman and Clarkston. It's a 
good little indie film that got a low reviews because people thought it 
was "Christian" movie but I didn't get that out of it.  Sure, the 
"grandpa" played by Tommy Cash (Johnny Cash's younger brother) is a bit 
"churchy" but that is typical of eastern Washington and Idaho and often 
we would roll our eyes at such people.

The definition of unconscionable = doing something you know to be 
wrong?  Doesn't make sense.  ISIS killers are performing A-dharmic 
acts that they believe are right. Belief or unbelief in an action 
doesn't dictate the degree of Conscionable-ness.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Priest Advocates Suicide

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

It wasn't a video but discussion from the JyotishList years ago by a 
member who had learned of the 81 year system.  Of course there are lots 
of "systems" in Jyotish as astrologers figured out methods other than 
the traditional that also provided results.


Strauss-Howe Generational Theory which I've mentioned here a number of 
times is the one about 80 year cycles.

But I'm impressed with this technique called Brighu Saral Paddatti.  
They have videos on YouTube that explain this system.  Personally, 
I've learned that the "night shade family of vegetables can be found 
in your birth chart.  In short, Saturn placed in the third house in 
Virgo represents these types of vegetables, which are not good for you 
and can cause arthritis on the right arm. It also contributed to the 
fall of my fence on my neighbor's property during in the wet and windy 
storm we had about a week ago.  Additionally, an unknown neighbor has 
left pieces of furniture on my drive way.  I'm suspecting its the 
neighbor adjacent to my house, who has recently left a stripped piece 
of carpet on his doorsteps.  So, I'm keeping my eyes open to make sure 
he doesn't leave the carpet on my driveway.
