[FairfieldLife] Re: Hello Fairfield,,,Peter
Just over two years Peter. A great woman, I adored her and still do. When she was peaceful she was like an angel. But then out of nowhere. Actually it was usually a day or two after we had done something really nice together,,,that this demon side appearred and all hell would break loose. It was as if a part of her couldn't handle being happy she needed to return to chaos. She would reffer to her meditation experiencing as achieving comsic orgasms,,,I thought to myself oh great what is this a form of mental masterbation. I actually observed her once while she was meditating. At age 50th in my eyes she's the most beautiful woman in the world. But on that afternoon while in her trance her face look distorted hagard and old. It was almost frightening and it left me wondering just how much joy and bliss could she have possibly be feeling. I've been in emergency services for 30 years Peter and have a great deal of patience with people and so I really tried to be patient with her but finally and again out of the blue she announced Maharishi says we need to be celibate in order to channel all our energies to our higher spiritual intellect. That's when I finally had even enough and said something like,,,Oh sure Maharishi says everyone should be celibate but himreffering to a years ago comment by the beatles calling him a lecherous womaniser. I know it was the wrong thing to say and the conversation went down hill from there to include He's a liar a cheat and a fraud. Thought I was going to have to call 911 myself for backup.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Hello Fairfield,,,Peter
Bill, Are you sure she doesn't have some other problems--like depression or bipolarism? Sounds like there is something more going on than just defending MMY. If so, it wouldn't be all that unusual--many of us looked to TM as a cure-all, until it became obvious it wasn't. And those quick flashes of anger, seemingly out of nowhere, are something I have learned to avoid. I find them scary.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Hello Fairfield,,,Peter
Sal,,,I'm quite certain of it. I think the meditation is her own personal crutch or a happy pill. Just pop and hop and she feels better temporarily. But it doesn't address the underlying root causes/demons etc. But because Maharishi says just meditate more and all your problems will go away. She appears totally convinced that more money on more time and more meditation will bring her the peace she wants. Ironically I think the path to enlightment is the path in which we do away with all our needs. Afterall it is our percieved NEEDS that tie us down. And if a person NEEDS a Guru's guidance or meditation or anything then it is still a need and still an obstacle to enlightment. So I guess what I'm saying is until one can give up meditation and give up Maharishi or anyone else for that matter, How can one reach true enlightment.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Hello Fairfield,,,Peter
Very good points about needs, Bill, and how we all need to overcome them--ha, ha. I personally started TM for the relaxation benefits it claimed you'd feel, and that is still why I continue the practice. The concept of enlightenment, whatever it might mean to others, is so vague as to be meaningless IMO, and as such has never had much of a place in my world view and hence stay out of all discussions in which it comes up. (Not to mention the fact that, probably because of its vagueness, I find most discussions of it kind of boring. But others obviously don't, so discuss away! :) ) Sal On Aug 12, 2006, at 10:14 AM, Bill (William)Simmons wrote: Ironically I think the path to enlightment is the path in which we do away with all our needs.

(I can't resist observing that people's faces tend to get *very* distorted when they're in the middle of an orgasm...) What MMY teaches, incidentally, is that experiences during meditation, bad or good, are not particularly important. What's important is the effects in daily life. If your GF was meditating only for the experiences during practice, she may actually not have been meditating correctly--and that can have *negative* effects in daily life. I've been in emergency services for 30 years Peter and have a great deal of patience with people and so I really tried to be patient with her but finally and again out of the blue she a announced Maharishi says we need to be celibate in order to channel all our energies to our higher spiritual intellect.

I know it was the wrong thing to say and the conversation went down hill from there to include He's a liar a cheat and a fraud. Thought I was going to have to call 911 myself for backup. Look, not to lay blame here, but did you ever consider the possibility that there were some problems with your sexual relationship, that what she was telling you was the equivalent of Not now, dear, I have a headache? I can imagine that if I had been you, I'd have felt felt insulted and demeaned and might have struck back in anger. What I'm trying to get at is that it sounds to me as though you're assigning *all* the problems with your relationship to her commitment to TM and MMY, when in fact there's a mixture of *different* issues, not all of them necessarily hers. From your description of her, though, it also sounds to me as though her issues are pretty extreme, and that she needs some professional help. I doubt you'd be likely to convince her she needs that help in any case, but almost *certainly* not as long as you hold onto your unrelievedly negative views of TM. You're the more rational party at this point. If you really strongly want to be able to help her, it seems to me, you need to acquire a more balanced view of TM so you have a better idea of where she's coming from. I don't have a lot of hope that you'll be successful, but your coming to this forum suggests you still have some motivation, that you're unwilling to just let it end here.

Meditating more is for people who DON'T have problems and want to race towards enlightenment, or promote world peace,or both. The only meditating more advice for people with problems is to do an occassional weekend retreat to recharge one's batteries so to speak.

I figured you had already tried everything. It is amazing how age makes weight gain so much easier. Amazing as in, sucks! I have a standing desk for my computer in my place now to keep me off my butt while working on my computer. I saw this guy on TV who has his laptop on his treadmill, he conducts all his business at one mile per hour! I am trying to add more activity to my day since I play guitar sitting and spend a lot of time on the computer. Staying active is a constant struggle isn't it?Especially if you do a lot of computer work. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, sparaig [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, curtisdeltablues curtisdeltablues@ wrote: You have probably already tried this, but are you working out really hard?
