We know a few women have made that claim, but there's no solid evidence. We also know *for a fact* that right-wingers have been trying to take the Clintons down with false accusations ever since they entered public life. BTW, most of these allegations have been thoroughly shot down Absolutely not true. None of them have been shot down so far. and he was a *good* Democrat when he was alleged to have done them and should be considered a good, healthy, red blooded, American male, by the standard set for Bill Clinton. Again the broad brush. Makes defending the Trump monster so much easier when you make such sweeping statements, but they don't reflect the reality. Don't you know that Hillary wishes someone would grope her.. just once! Stay classy, Mike. Just like your candidate. From: "awoelflebater@...

Re: [FairfieldLife] Which is It?
No, Mike, it's not just "sex." It's assault. Yes, Mike, we care. No, Mike, Bill Clinton is *not* who we are electing. Her name is Hillary. No, Mike, Hillary does not wish that someone would grope her. Yes, Mike, it's 2016. Standards are a changin.'

Things always fall down. Gravity sucks. but the survivors will always believe that there are cosmic, religious, and moral reasons why the survivors happened to be...uh...them. And these self-serving Tales Of Self Importance will be told around survivalist campfires, and passed down into survivalist history as myth, because, after all, the tellers of the tales managed to...uh...survive. :-) Levitation, the ability to suspend yourself in mid-air without visible means of support is impossible. However, there will probably always be /True Believers/ in levitation and human flying. You have survived, so far, but your teacher is dead and forgotten for a reason. Get over it and stop making up stuff about Rama.

Good point. /So, you're thinking that a solar flare event is based on a person's birth circumstances?/ The question was about karma, the law of cause and effect. It has NOT been established that there is a law of mental or moral reciprocity in physics. You sound very confused for a science guy. Go figure. Better point: we're all always in this exact scenario. All of us are either luckier or not-so-much across thousands of spectra, and our individual psychologies have to constantly deal with hey, those folks got it gooder than moi FROM BIRTH. Like that we all have to figure on what we've been chosen for. Of course, this is magical thinking, but ALL THINKING IS MAGICAL if you deconstruct them. All of our thoughts are momentary wisps claiming authenticity when ANY thought is but an echo and abstraction assumed reality. It's all bullshit: and the unfathomability of the genesis of thought is simply not recognized by most. This all sounds impressive and even magical but, but put down the pipe - You are not even making ay sense.. Because you believe thinking is magical, that's not a very good reason not to read books and get smart. You sound confused - you are not even making ay sense. Do you have any education credentials? So, fuck you. I get to believe any shit I want to believe in. Human excrement ALWAYS flows downstream. I believe in life - what it does to you and what you do back. CUZ THAT'S WHAT YOU ALLOW FOR YOURSELF.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Which side of earth has the karma to take this hit?
My point exactly with my references to Jackson Browne's Before The Deluge and other apocalypse fantasies. Survival will depend on chance -- which side of the planet was on the right side at the time -- but the survivors will always believe that there are cosmic, religious, and moral reasons why the survivors happened to be...uh...them. And these self-serving Tales Of Self Importance will be told around survivalist campfires, and passed down into survivalist history as myth, because, after all, the tellers of the tales managed to...uh...survive. :-) From: Duveyoung no_re...@yahoogroups.com To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, July 27, 2014 5:05 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Which side of earth has the karma to take this hit?

Re: [FairfieldLife] Which side of earth has the karma to take this hit?
Yeah, the non-toasteds will brag about being the chosen. Good point. Better point: we're all always in this exact scenario. All of us are either luckier or not-so-much across thousands of spectra, and our individual psychologies have to constantly deal with hey, those folks got it gooder than moi FROM BIRTH. Like that we all have to figure on what we've been chosen for. Of course, this is magical thinking, but ALL THINKING IS MAGICAL if you deconstruct them. All of our thoughts are momentary wisps claiming authenticity when ANY thought is but an echo and abstraction assumed reality. It's all bullshit: and the unfathomability of the genesis of thought is simply not recognized by most. So, fuck you. I get to believe any shit I want to believe in. CUZ THAT'S WHAT YOU ALLOW FOR YOURSELF.

[FairfieldLife] Which Internet Company has NOT given the US Gov its records?
WHICH INTERNET COMPANY HASN'T GIVEN THE U.S. GOVERNMENT ITS RECORDS? June 10, 2013 NEW YORK: Outraged Internet users searching for an alternative to the privacy-busting companies they'd trusted are turning to a company that provides what it calls, the world's most private search engines. StartPage and its sister search engine Ixquick were launched in 2006 to staunchly defend their users' privacy and civil liberties. StartPage provides a private portal to Google results, while Ixquick provides private results from other search engines. The services have not participated in PRISM, nor have they ever provided user data to the U.S. government or to any other government or agency in the U.S. or anywhere in the world. That is more than nine of the biggest Internet companies -- Apple, Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Facebook, YouTube, PalTalk, AOL and Skype -- can say. The Privacy of our users rests on three important foundations, explains StartPage and Ixquick CEO Robert Beens. We are based in the Netherlands, we use encrypted connections, and -- most importantly -- we don't store or share any of our users' personal search data. * No User Data Stored: StartPage and Ixquick never store user data, including IP addresses and search queries, so government agencies have no incentive to ask for these. This privacy is so complete; the company doesn't even know who its customers are, so it can't share anything with Big Brother. * Encrypted (HTTPS) Connections: StartPage and Ixquick were the first searchengines to use automatic encryption on all connections to preventsnooping. When searches are encrypted, third parties like ISPs and theNSA can't eavesdrop on Internet connections to see what people aresearching for. * Not Under U.S. Jurisdiction: StartPage and Ixquick are based in the Netherlands, so they are not directly subject to U.S. regulations, warrants, or court orders. They can't be forced to participate in spying programs like PRISM. The company has never turned over a single bit of user data to any government entity in the 14 years it has been in business, which is not surprising since there is no data in the first place. StartPage and Ixquick are also the only search engines whose privacy practices have been independently verified and third-party certified https://www.european-privacy-seal.eu/awarded-seals/de-110022/ through the European Union's Privacy Seal program. Unfortunately, it takes a scandal like PRISM to wake people up to the erosion of privacy, says Harvard-trained privacy expert Dr. Katherine Albrecht, who helped develop StartPage. As people get fed up with being spied on, they look for alternatives. We already serve nearly 3 million private searches each day, and we expect that number to grow as people seek shelter from search engines that store and share their private information. The company will expand its privacy services this summer with the addition of a new private email product called StartMail https://www.startmail.com/ . StartMail will offer a paid, private email platform with strong encryption.

It's interesting in forms of meditation where students are taught that withdrawing within like a groundhog is the way to go, and that negativity is to be shunned, this training in aversion creates all sorts of novel problems. Probably the most pertinent example would be when a life threatening situation presents itself, say a murder attempt, when rather than going into skillful action, one decides to take the groundhog/ ostrich-with-head-in-sand approach and decide that it's time to meditate - and then feign surprise when someone gets killed. Unfortunately we don't see negativity decrease in such persons, actually the opposite. in order to maintain such a practice without having to deal with reality, one needs to surround themselves with robots who go along with the same aversion reaction or they need to repeat various programming they've been told to convince themselves. When someone murders someone because you decided to meditate rather than act, that does not mean something good is happening.
[FairfieldLife] Which is the most afflictive emotion?
As part of my ongoing attempts to infect TH (True Hindu) TBs on this forum with spit Buddhist thought :-), I return to the topic of the afflictive emotions. That term, in its low-vibe and oh-so-inferior-to-Maharishi's opinion laughability, refers to the set of emotions that -- in these spit Buddhists' opinion -- have a predictable *effect* on those who indulge in them long-term. That effect is a lowering of their state of attention. Indulge in anger for longer than a few moments, and your state of attention drops. Like a rock. Indulge in any of the other afflictive emotions for more than a few moments, ditto. That's the theory, anyway. This said, there is an ongoing debate among those who debate such spit Buddhist esoterica :-) as to *which* of the afflictive emotions is the *most* debilitating, in terms of its ability to lower one's state of attention. Many go with hatred. Others with anger, or jealousy, or envy. Some go with fear. Others go with outrage, because that one tends to want to entice other sentient beings into indulging in it, and thus carries with it a karmic overhead. I'm gonna go with the desire to seek revenge. That one for me kinda wraps up all the other afflictive emotions into one big, shiny package. I mean, in order to want to seek revenge on someone, you've got to be able to: 1) have had your emotional buttons pushed by the revengee so badly as to want to do them harm, 2) be *so* affronted by whatever the perceived insult or infraction was as to hold onto it for extended periods of time, and 3) feel that doing things to seek revenge for this perceived insult or infraction are *justified*, possibly even something to be proud of.

They'll take their money and votes but would probably prefer they go out of business (or buy them for pennies). The small business people get conned into believing the Democrats will pass more regulations they have to deal with. And to be fair many Democrats *do* pass well intended but *stupid* laws with no thought to what burden they place on the small guy. A good example was this 1099 addendum to the health care bill which even Obama in the state of the union said needed to be taken out. Now I'm not sure who or what group of legislators put it in to begin with but we can use it anyway as a bad regulation. IOW, if I go to Fry's and buy a new computer for $601 I have to make out a 1099 to Fry's who I would suppose probably have them available for us to fill out (they wouldn't want to slow down any sales). What's ridiculous about this is that as a business we claim the damn computer anyway! The dumb thing is we've been screaming the computers are getting so cheap we should be able to take them as an office expense instead of depreciable hardware. So I'll further digress since I have the burden of doing tax worksheets this weekend that I could care less about and yet have to have done for my accountant how much I hate our tax system. I would say about 20% of our population has the left brained mindset it takes to be an accountant but unless you want to give the IRS more money that it deserves you have to play that role too even just for the fucking worksheets! Here we verge into spiritual territory as I point out the many people are proud or egotistical about their knowledge of tax laws (often flawed knowledge too) and love to be thought of as being up on it. First of all that is about impossible and I could care less. But it is all about legally gaming the tax system which would not be necessary if we had a simpler tax system. But then that would put a lot of CPAs on the unemployment line and piss off a lot of big business who got pull the ladder up tax breaks lobbied in place.

Technically the man who owns a company in East Podunk, Texas and employs 100 people is a small business man, but only because big business is so very big.
[FairfieldLife] Which states are happiest?
Well, according to an article in Science in which 1.3 million Americans were studied, Louisiana, Hawaii, and Florida. New York came in last at #51. California and New Jersey scored #46 and #47 respectively. Do we see any correlation with the happiness quotient demonstrated by FFL posters from these states? :-) The happiness rating reported in today's journal of Science surveyed 1.3 million nationwide. It used data collected between 2005 and 2008 that included a question about how satisfied people are with their lives. The places where people are most likely to report happiness tend to rate high on studies comparing things such as climate, crime, air quality and schools. Economists Andrew J. Oswald of the University of Warwick in England and Stephen Wu of Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y., compared the happiness ranking with studies that rated states on criteria ranging from availability of public land to commuting time to local taxes. The state-by-state list, from happiest to least cheery: 1. Louisiana 2. Hawaii 3. Florida 4. Tennessee 5. Arizona 6. South Carolina 7. Mississippi 8. Montana 9. Alabama 10. Maine 11. Wyoming 12.

Deepak Chopra used to quote in his John Diliard/Chopra weekend traveling seminars something to the effect that I look out and see those around me growing old therefore I decide to grow old. Can anyone provide me with an (American English) citation? -- Life is not what you see, but what you've projected. It's not what you've felt, but what you've decided. It's not what you've experienced, but how you've remembered it. It's not what you've forged, but what you've allowed. And it's not who's appeared, but who you've summoned.

[FairfieldLife] Which Maharishi Flip-Flop Teaching has the worst karma?
Recent talk of needing a guru here has reminded me of a phenomenon that many TB TMers are either unaware of (because they started TM so much later than others here and thus missed the earlier teachings) or they have blotted out the earlier teachings from their minds (because they don't want to deal with the fact that Maharishi completely reversed himself). I call this phenomenon the Maharishi Flip-Flop. It's where Maharishi started his career as a spiritual teacher teaching one thing -- emphatically -- and then LATER flip-flopped and began teaching or doing *exactly the opposite* of what he had said/taught before. The most famous example of this, of course, is the siddhis. In courses throughout the late 60s, Maharishi was clear to the point of being emphatic that they were dangerous and should *not* be pursued by spiritual seekers. The whole capture the fort analogy was *invented* as a reply to students who asked about the siddhis and how to achieve them. MMY's teaching *at that time* was that it was safer to capture the fort, and allow such siddhis to blossom on their own, if they did. He definitely *discouraged* people from ever trying to achieve the siddhis. Of course, we all know how that turned out. And a number of us here probably now feel that his earlier teaching -- before the flip-flop -- was more correct. But for me, the Maharishi Flip-Flop teaching that has had the most debilitating effect on students, and has thus incurred the most negative karma, is the flip-flop he made on gurus and whether one should rely on them when it comes to advice on how to live one's life. I remember Maharishi clearly addressing this issue in response to a question from the audience, the first time I ever saw him, in 1967. The person asked him for advice on how to resolve a quandary or problem in his life. In effect, the questioner was asking Maharishi to make the decision for him -- tell him what to do, give him the right answer. Maharishi categorically refused to do so, and explained why. He said, If I tell you what to do...what decision to make ...what happens the *next* time you need to make a decision? You'll come running to me asking me to make it for you. He then went on to give a long talk on how the idea of gurus telling their students what to do and how to live was a *mistake*, because It makes the students weaker. As they become dependent on the guru or teacher to make decisions for them, they lose the ability to make decisions themselves. At this point, as he always did, Maharishi segued into a discussion of TM, and how theoretically it would enable the student to become stronger and more able to make his OWN decisions, and not need anyone to make them for him. Cut to only a few years later, and how Maharishi began to treat the meditators and TM teachers who had signed on to the TM movement. It was a complete and total flip-flop. He began to dictate what they should wear and not wear, what they should eat and not eat, what they should believe and not believe, and who they should hang around with and not hang around with. It is not unfair to say that on courses *every* aspect of a TM student's life was dictated to him; every minute of every day was *literally* being told what to do, by the guru. And soon this being told what to do began to creep over into the lives of the TM teachers when they were *not* on courses as well. And I think that most here have seen the debilitating effects of coming to rely on Maharishi to tell them what to do. Tens of thousands of TM teachers literally *lost their ability* to think for themselves and make their own decisions for many, many years. Some still have never regained their ability to think for themselves and make their own decisions, and to this day fall back on quoting scripture or quotes from Maharishi's old talks as the basis for all of their own decisions. I suggest that this flip-flop had far more of a karmic effect -- and a negative karmic effect -- than the flip- flop about the siddhis. As with the siddhis, Maharishi was IMO more correct in his original teaching. And what supports that opinion is taking that early teaching -- that it will eventually make the students weaker, not stronger -- and applying it to what most of us have actually seen happening to thousands of TM teachers. TELLING THEM WHAT TO DO AND MAKING THEIR DECISIONS FOR THEM HAS MADE THEM WEAKER. MANY ARE TO THIS DAY INCAPABLE OF MAKING THEIR OWN DECISIONS, AND HAVE TO RELY ON SOMEONE ELSE TO MAKE THEM FOR THEM. IMO Maharishi should have stuck with his original insights and his original teachings, both about the siddhis and about telling people what to do and making their decisions for them. Imagine how different the history of the TM movement might have been if he had.

Get a one-on-one guru who can answer any question you have and that you don't have to compete with a bunch of other followers to get answers. For that you'll have to do some research. Look in the Indian community for astrologers who are often tantrics and can teach tantra. Tantra is for householders. You don't have to renounce the world to learn it. When you find someone take your time, ask a lot of questions and be sure you feel competent in learning from them. I knew my guru six months before I accepted instruction from him. Be sure to ask about tradition. If they don't have any, walk away.

[FairfieldLife] Which MASS MURDERER will you vote for? (Bill Clinton's presidential years)
Clinton fiddled while Africa burned. He's Nero not hero. Whatever gains that the people seem to get during any president's leadership are bought with BLOOD MONEY -- give the masses a little, and then take a lot of their lives, wealth, and future wealth, and while doing it, brainwash their children to be sure that this abuse will continue. Kucinich on his first day as president will be scrambling to stop killing in the name of America, but even he will have to suffer children being killed for oil on his watch. Clinton and every president before him was oblivious to where their presidential powers could do the most good and obsessed where their powers could be increased. The world is run by MURDERERS who wrap themselves in a flag, who arm themselves with a religious dogma, who take the best and deepest hopes of decent, hardworking, long suffering common folks and leverage these hopes into boondoggles, pork barrels and windfalls for themselves while the people fade closer and closer to a perfectly un-empowered slavery. Give me a president who makes the whole of the military into a peace corps. Here's a sampling of what presidents do with the power we give to them -- they become MASS MURDERERS. http://tinyurl.com/2blb3d -- War mongers advice top Democrat candidates. http://tinyurl.com/2hqstd -- President Ford supports the killing of 1/3 of the people of East Timor. http://tinyurl.com/ysndtl -- President Reagan was behind the MASS MURDERING of 200,000. Who can be calm about this? Every single one of us was raised by our parents and schools and society in general to be kind and understanding and for the greater good of civilization -- every single one of us was educated about the horrors of the Nazi death camps. Every single one of us was brainwashed to stand up and be counted in the face of genocidal murderers. In fact, we are told that we are as guilty as the actual killers if we take an order from a murderous leader to kill, because such an order would be an axiomatic sin against humanity/nature that stains a soul forever. If you ask the common person on the street what they'd do if they found out that a mile away from their home was a camp which was gassing and burning Americans, the common response would be that they'd do something about it in short order, and any cop or politician or leader of any sort that suggested that they should turn a blind eye would be considered equally guilty abettors of death. What would you do if you had just such a challenge, if you could smell the smoke of carnage in your neighborhood, could see the mothers and children entering the camps by the truckload? Don't answer, I already know that you'd be raising a rabble to storm those gates of hell. Yet, within the next year, all of us are expected to approve and honor the next mass murderer who has enough money to buy the media to delude the people, and then call it sacred democracy at work. What do you call it when two wolves and a lamb decide what to have for dinner? Answer: democracy. What we want is a republic that addresses the concerns of all the people by supporting the basic core morals of antiquity -- not a mob-blood-lust-psychology-rules-all society. 10,000 - 30,000 children WILL DIE from lack of water TODAY -- MERE WATER -- and no one reads a thing in the headlines except about a mere two children of a ego maniac millionaire who shows her pussy to the paparazzi. WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP -- we are applauding now and future Kings of Death.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Which Form of God are you in love with? Guru Dev's meditation instruction
When I lived in Haridwar I came in contact with one old jotish pundit who was at the same time with MMY in SBS ashram. He was learning jyotish there. SBS was also giving lectures about jyotish to young pundits because that knowledge is important in our sampradaya (Maharshi Parashara) and also in regard to knowledge you are mentioning... about Ishta devatas... there are important jyotish principles related to that. 2007/12/5, aztjbailey [EMAIL PROTECTED]: From Paul Mason's material on Guru Dev, and how he instructed people in meditation: A glimpse of Guru Dev's teaching style is provided by another of his disciples, Swami Swaroopanand Saraswati, Shankaracharya of Dwarka:- 'Shankaracharya Brahmananda Saraswati Ji Maharaj strictly adhered to the varna (caste) and ashram (four stages of life) systems. He believed in one's varna by birth. Whosoever came to him to become a disciple, he used to ask him which form of God he was in love with. Whichever form the new disciple had an interest in, that form he would explain to the new disciple. [Guru Dev] used to explain, either you should depend on your own inclination or else, he, after understanding your previous life and which form of God you worshipped then, would instruct the initiate accordingly. Without having an ishtadevata (a personal form of God), no one could have a mantra from him.' 19 Interesting, no?

[FairfieldLife] Which Scripture Did this Come From?
God, or substance consisting of infinite attributes, of which each expresses eternal and infinite essentiality, necessarily exists. Whatsoever is, is in God, and without God nothing can be, or be conceived. God acts solely by the laws of his own nature and is not constrained by anyone. God is the indwelling and not the transient cause of all things. God and all the attributes of God are eternal. Intellect, in function finite, or in function infinite, must comprehend the attributes of God and the modifications of God, and nothing else.

[FairfieldLife] Which detective are you?
In the Can atheists be nice? thread, Curtis and I have been rappin' about wonder. Another word for wonder is mystery. It seems to me that life presents us with such a mystery, one that can never be resolved. It's my conten- tion that one can't find a real solution to life's mystery, because the very nature of life *itself* is irresolveable mystery. No matter which solution you find, if you dive into it deeply enough, it opens to Yet Another Mystery. To me, that's just NEAT. I *like* that about life, the never-being-able-to-figure-it-out-ness of it all. I guess that would make me a pretty shitty detective. I'd probably be a lot like Columbo, schlepping along in his beat-up raincoat and his beat-up car, collecting clues while feigning stupidity to throw off the bad guys. But unlike Columbo, I'd probably never solve the crime. I might not be convinced that there had even *been* a crime. Sure, there's a body and all, but did that body ever really exist? If it didn't, how could it be killed, and by whom? Someone else who doesn't exist? :-) Alternatively, I can identify with Dennis Potter's character in The Singing Detective, digging the fact that the plots are all clues, no solutions. Or like Philip Jose Farmer's Ralph von Wau Wau, the superintelligent German shepherd detective he spun off from his fleshing out of Vonnegut's Venus On The Half Shell. A friend of mine on alt.buddha. short.fat.guy once said, Given a choice between a dog biscuit and a Buddha nature, is there any question which a dog would choose? My version of Ralph would probably say, It's really fun trying to solve this mystery and all, but really...there are butts to be sniffed and trees to be peed on, and miles to go before I sleep. So who would you be? Which detective -- real or fictional -- best personifies your approach to solving the mystery of life? Would you be Mongo the chess master dwarf, dazzling his oppon- ents with strategies planned 30 moves ahead? Or would you be like US Customs Agent Dave Kujan in The Usual Suspects, all bluster and bullying, toying with the poor, crippled witness to unravel the mystery and pin the crime on the person you've already decided is guilty, completely unaware that the person being toyed with is you? Would you be like Sherlock Holmes, effete and superior, so sure of the rightness of your conclusions that the only fun in it for you is making everyone working with you to solve the mystery feel like shit because they're not as smart as you are? Would you be Sam Spade, searching everywhere for the dingus, only to discover that the Maltese Falcon is nothing but painted lead? Or would you be like Rick Deckerd in Blade Runner, finding out at the end that, as another character says earlier in the film, I'm not in the business. I am the business? Would you be like Detective Lieutenant Ed Exley in L.A. Confi- dential, and end up solving the mystery, killing the bad guys, and having a medal pinned on your chest? Or will you end up like Jake Gittes, with a look on your face so devastated that one of your cop buddies has to say, Forget it Jake. It's Chinatown? Which detective is you? Whose approach to mysteries and the solving of them most resonates with you and your approach to solving the mystery of life? Having pondered this subject this morning, I have to say that I'd probably be most like David Addison in Moonlighting, all play and no work, adlibbing snappy dialogue a mile a minute like Phillip Marlowe on laughing gas, fumbling along and some- times resolving things, sometimes not, but always managing to have a good time. I might not solve the mystery, but it's a sure bet that I'm gonna get laid a lot more than Sherlock Holmes or Dave Kujan.
