[FairfieldLife] Re: And Yet More Cult News
You can always tell when Barry has had his buttons pushed particularly effectively. There's a direct relationship between how upset he is and the incoherence of his response. This post is a perfect example. I made fun of the newspaper for having used the term perennial for perianal, but Barry, demonstrating his desperate need for things to be All About Barry, interpreted this, somehow, to be an attack on *him*-- even though he had also made fun of the article. My comment had nothing whatsoever to do with Barry. Raunchy's hilarious take made fun of both the article and of Barry. His response did not, let us say, do anything to exemplify his frequently expressed contention that people should be able to laugh at themselves. Finally, Barry practically drowns in incoherence by suggesting that raunchy and I, as purportedly wannabee Hindus, uncritically embrace Indian culture, and that this is why we made fun of the Indian newspaper--entirely oblivious to the contradiction. (Of course, Barry's brain goes even further in the toilet in his grateful response to navashok this morning for having, he assumes naively, shown him that what raunchy and I were ridiculing was an entirely proper and even intentional mangling of words. Pushing Barry's buttons is more than worth the effort for the amusement value. Good work, raunchy. ;-))
[FairfieldLife] Re: And Yet More Cult News
You, and Raunchy have missed the point, sorry to say. :-( Barry has by his own admission, moved waay beyond the sorry meditations and siddhi techniques associated with Maharishi and the TMO. Even those professed by the yogi mentioned in the original article. Barry can not only lock air behind his anus, he can *speak* with it. It was this advanced siddhi that he hints to, with every post here, thinking somewhat smugly to himself, ...you mortals must speak with your mouths, while I, progeny of Rama, ONLY talk out of my ass Far from the airy fairy claims made by the TMO for example, with the so-called flying siddhi, where nothing seems to materialize as described, Barry can manifest the siddhi [of anal speech] at will. It is said by some of his most ardent followers that this THE ONLY MEANS by which he communicates! So, take heed, we have a GREAT ONE in our midst. Though I personally would like to see a bit more humility from so great a personage, I can better understand the arrogance of Barry. Think of it, lost within a race of the un-evolved, the dark, the ignorant, everyone speaking, using their (ugh) LIPS, when Barry effortlessly speaks from his BUTT. What a gap in evolution, between us commoners, and HIM.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: And Yet More Cult News
Judy, Thanks for correcting the distortions of these idiots navashok and Barry. Just to clarify - the name of the newspaper The Hindu is a misnomer. It doesn't fashion any Hindu agenda, on the contrary it's very anti-Hindu, intellectual, rationalist. It's editor is openly communist. But then reporting on the society and culture the newspaper has to report events like this since India is predominantly Hindu. And about Hinglish - yes, no mainstream paper would use Hinglish - that's so ludicrous. Hinglish is about the seamless use of English and Hindi and blending of the two languages. Though I was a voracious reader of English fiction, had very good vocabulary I hardly conversed in English growing up in a small town. Having a good ear and good ability to pick up accents - I learned to speak like the natives when I moved to America. So it was fascinating and hilarious for me to watch listen to some Indian youngsters, clearly from Delhi conversing in English or Hinglish as I commuted to the city on BART.

Nice try, guys, but no cigar. ;-) No cigar for you, as you have no idea of yogic pranas, so, no air in the anus here as you may assume. In yoga there are 5 different types of prana. Certain pranas, commonly but sometimes wrongly translated with 'air' or 'vital airs' are related to Kundalini and the Chakra system. Here an example that connects pituitary gland and pineal gland: Pituitary Hint 'Within the spinal chord there are certain functional centres called Chakras. The lower Chakras conduct the grosser functions of metabolism, emotions, reflexes and instincts, while the higher Chakras the subtler functions of understanding, intelligence, recollection, will and love. Love is the equalising force and a medium of communion between lower and higher centres, and hence it functions through the middle most centre, the heart. When once the equipoise is established every centre or Chakra functions through the medium of love. At this stage, the lower and higher Chakras loose their marked differentiation of the lower and higher nature. The heart centre works as the fulcrum and the two sides of the Spinal Chord work as two arms of a good balance. Each point on the one arm bears in exact correspondence with and represents a point on the other arm. Similarly each of the lower Chakras reciprocate with each of the three higher ones.' 'The base centre responds to the head centre. The spleen centre responds to the throat centre and the solar plexus responds with the brow centre. Hence when the Solar plexus is brought to equipoise by the heart centre, there will be corresponding stimulation in a point on the brow centre. This point is the pituitary body which unfolds the radio-active intelligence in man (intuition) by virtue of the planetary principle of Uranus. This stimulation is called pituitary Hint by Master.' 'The type of intelligence that manifests from this hint is Cosmic by nature and belongs to the sign Aquarius by nature and hence it renders the new approach of Yoga of Master possible on this earth. This intelligence needs no mind. But it projects its own mind which is the above said luminous tissue. This tissue is termed. 'Anahkarana' by the Tibetan Master. It is glorified as the light of Gods which leads to Gayatri experience.' 'The Pineal bears the Neptune principle in man. The PITUITARY HINT links up the Pineal and Pituitary bodies with the luminous tissue. The two glands exist as the two carbon rods in an arc lamp. The luminous tissue links them as the arc. Neptune and Uranus together produce this light of higher mind which has got nothing to do with time-space environment. This mind is beyond matter though it illuminates the whirls of matter.

But then reporting on the society and culture the newspaper has to report events like this since India is predominantly Hindu. And about Hinglish - yes, no mainstream paper would use Hinglish - that's so ludicrous. You can't say this either. Newspapers use the language that is spoken by the people there, and that is Hinglish to a great degree. Of course not exclusively. Hinglish is about the seamless use of English and Hindi and blending of the two languages. Though I was a voracious reader of English fiction, had very good vocabulary I hardly conversed in English growing up in a small town. Having a good ear and good ability to pick up accents - I learned to speak like the natives when I moved to America.

Here an example that connects pituitary gland and pineal gland: Pituitary Hint 'Within the spinal chord there are certain functional centres called Chakras. The lower Chakras conduct the grosser functions of metabolism, emotions, reflexes and instincts, while the higher Chakras the subtler functions of understanding, intelligence, recollection, will and love. Love is the equalising force and a medium of communion between lower and higher centres, and hence it functions through the middle most centre, the heart. When once the equipoise is established every centre or Chakra functions through the medium of love. At this stage, the lower and higher Chakras loose their marked differentiation of the lower and higher nature. The heart centre works as the fulcrum and the two sides of the Spinal Chord work as two arms of a good balance. Each point on the one arm bears in exact correspondence with and represents a point on the other arm. Similarly each of the lower Chakras reciprocate with each of the three higher ones.' 'The base centre responds to the head centre. The spleen centre responds to the throat centre and the solar plexus responds with the brow centre. Hence when the Solar plexus is brought to equipoise by the heart centre, there will be corresponding stimulation in a point on the brow centre. This point is the pituitary body which unfolds the radio-active intelligence in man (intuition) by virtue of the planetary principle of Uranus. This stimulation is called pituitary Hint by Master.' 'The type of intelligence that manifests from this hint is Cosmic by nature and belongs to the sign Aquarius by nature and hence it renders the new approach of Yoga of Master possible on this earth. This intelligence needs no mind. But it projects its own mind which is the above said luminous tissue. This tissue is termed. 'Anahkarana' by the Tibetan Master. It is glorified as the light of Gods which leads to Gayatri experience.' 'The Pineal bears the Neptune principle in man. The PITUITARY HINT links up the Pineal and Pituitary bodies with the

My comment had nothing whatsoever to do with Barry. Raunchy's hilarious take made fun of both the article and of Barry. His response did not, let us say, do anything to exemplify his frequently expressed contention that people should be able to laugh at themselves. Finally, Barry practically drowns in incoherence by suggesting that raunchy and I, as purportedly wannabee Hindus, uncritically embrace Indian culture, and that this is why we made fun of the Indian newspaper--entirely oblivious to the contradiction. (Of course, Barry's brain goes even further in the toilet in his grateful response to navashok this morning for having, he assumes naively, shown him that what raunchy and I were ridiculing was an entirely proper and even intentional mangling of words. Pushing Barry's buttons is more than worth the effort for the amusement value. Good work, raunchy. ;-))
