So I ordered the ribs and, of course, about 10 minutes later a very nice couple from Scottsdale sit down next to me and I get into a conversation with them while I was waiting for my meal and it turns out that they were there for darshan, too. Seeing as a big heaping plate of sacred cow was coming my way, I didn't mention to them that I, too, was there for darshan and kept mum about it. if I had to guess I would say the cow was sacred as you were eating it too. :)

Sorry to miss you, gullible. Thanks for contributing to the awareness that I soaked up Tuesday night. P.S. A friend of mine in Fairfield is having the experience Amma describes in your sig quote below. He's totally blissed out with love! So it does happen. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, gullible fool wrote: I did ask, but got no response: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/188952 I got darshan in the afternoon and enjoyed the vibes and the experiences there so much that I went back for the evening to sit in the hall.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Mother Meera darshan
P.S. A friend of mine in Fairfield is having the experience Amma describes in your sig quote below. He's totally blissed out with love! So it does happen. I've been using that quote because the 'I' and the 'Me' and the personality disappear with more and more awakening, and although some awakened, but not completely enlightened, teachers erroneously claim there's eventually nothing left, they are simply incorrect because there is something left. I believe Amma really hit the nail on the head with that quote. Recently, I had but mountain doesn't move! for my signature, which was from one of the best classic TM tapes from the 60s/early 70s where the dialog went something like this: Man at the microphone: Maharishi, where I come from, there are these people...and, well, they call themselves Jesus people. Maharishi: Veddy good! [Maharishi's comment was followed by lots of laughter from anyone in the hall who figured he/she knew much more about the in-your-face ways of the Jesus people than innocent Maharishi did] The man at the microphone then explained to Maharishi how the Jesus people would take down their introductory lecture posters - I believe this was in the Detroit area. He tells Maharishi the teachers confronted the Jesus people and the Jesus people told them how, if they had faith in Jesus, then they would not need TM, that if they had enough faith they would be able to move mountains, after which Maharishi responded with But mountain doesn't move! [This was followed by a lot more laughter from the folks who just *knew* they would be able to move mountains after they had put in their 5-8 years] The reason I used that particular signature was because this forum is way too overloaded with ridiculous claims by the TM apologists, to which the perfect retort is always but mountain doesn't move!. Love will swallow you, eat you up completely until there is no `you,' only love. - Amma --- On Thu, 10/2/08, Patrick Gillam [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Patrick Gillam [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Mother Meera darshan To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Date: Thursday, October 2, 2008, 3:21 PM Sorry to miss you, gullible.
