Good morning - it's getting really late again and nighty stormy after a 
swampy-cleaning-up-rescuing day- so let us be quick into figurative language of 
Shakespeare. and how it could be meant in this post context to make a Ponopono.
I am sure you know better but let's assume its not a rhetorical question: 
Original context and language:Messenger, scene 
He hath borne himself beyond the promise of
his age, doing in the figure of a lamb the feats of a lion.
 He hath indeed better bettered expectation than you must
expect of me to tell you how.
How about:
Richard deserves to be honored, and has been rewarded accordingly, he has done 
more than anyone would expect of a man his age. He looks like a lamb but fights 
like a lion. 
He has so greatly exceeded all expectations that can’t even been  described 
all he’s done.he has pushed himself to his limits and truly exceeded what 
would be expected of him.
He may look like a lamb but he fights with the power and ferocity of a lion?
May i beg now Ho'oponopono- coconut yogi-cal
because of my bodily need for a rest
accepting-mutually
my Sorry -ness- being weak
my asking forgiveness-being wrong
mylove- being who you are, your mutual respect, mutual honoring, and mutual 
blessing 
my thank-fulness- for your mutual  interest and understanding and acceptance of 
my sluggish explanation

and  ask for a  hala-lei 
so I  may
remain 
and gain
mySelf-I-Dentity' 
during my mutually-up-sleep
good night

 Inner path on hill out of bounds for `girivalam'
 http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-tamilnadu/article3748817.ece 
 
 Some ashrams are known to have involved in arranging inner path girivalam 
 for their guests. We have asked them to not to arrange this practice again. 
 If people walking on inner path refer to any ashram, we will take action 
 against it. We have ordered for the removal of paint markings made on stones 
 along the path. We are planning to close the entry points to the path and to 
 put hoardings in about 50 places which warn against the practice of 
 performing girivalam inside the forest. Forest personnel would be deputed in 
 the inner path in the coming full moon days and action would be taken against 
 people who violate the ban, Dr. Naganathan said.
 
 Initially the path attracted only a sparse number of nature lovers and 
 devotees who love wilderness. But as the regular girivalam path is becoming 
 commercialized day by day, the inner path started attracting more number of 
 people and faced resultant ecological threats. Finally came the forest 
 department ban.

 the godmen have done to the holy place. Banners, hoardings and posters of 
 godmen and godwomen, with a tag name associating them with a god or goddess, 
 stand witness to how money-minded, self-styled godmen exploit the devotees. 
 It has become a permanent feature of the girivalam path.

Höjööh Rick,

my friend Peter from Sweden solved it for me:
You can post that , if you like 

In my world there is a lot of people, each having their own view of what's
going on. I think it's built in, that we all have different opinions and
ideas. Of course someone thinks this or that, and some do anything to catch
others attention. Many people share common thoughts or beliefs, for instance
someone is after me / someone wants to harm me. The government is them
or they. Or the communists. Or, if it's a WW2-movie, they are the
Germans.

 

Of course the TM-guy is from secret service. It's an upsetting thought
confirming what you already know - the world is a conspiracy against you!
Therefore you don't need any proof, it's already proven.

 

And you are from Sweden. Without doubt. That's why you can't levitate.
Everyone knows Swedes can't levitate. So that's the truth!

 

When my kids came home from school, being upset with some class-mate that
said this or that, I used to ask them OK, but what do you feel is the
thuth?. Then they looked inside and delivered an answer, upon which I said
Then you know what is true. Let the others say whatever they say, that's
their freedom. They can't take away what you feel inside.

 

By the way, did you know Bush is an alien?

Hi Rick, 

nice discussion.
Good points raised.

But really:
Guy Fawkes Day is Nov 5th.
And Aprils Fools Day is April 1st.

So the guy sending this blame against
Raja Emanuel definitely has something
against him.

It would be nice to ask this Guy Fawkes to
identify himself and state his real intentions...

In Germany, blaming s.o. for working for the
secret service against good intentions of a group
is really serious damage. That was intended with this
post.

If someone like a politician would have thrown such an insult,
and didn`t have any proof, he would loose his job right away...

cheers

Strictly speaking, we all should have known that it
was a joke when the guy was referred to as Raja in
the first sentence and without quotation marks. 
Reuters would have used only the guy's first and last
names.  

I don't think serious damage was intended.  If there
had been such intent, the joker wouldn't have given
the game away with the references to the newt and the
elves.  

So Joerg should really lighten up a bit.

  Today a small cult based in Holland founded by the

 Raja Emanuel
  Schiffgens has been identified as a government
 agent working for the
  German secret service (BND). For many years the
 cult has been living
  under the fear of infiltration by spies from the
 CIA and other
  government agencies but it was always thought that
 the penetration 
 was
  limited to low level operatives. A spokesman said
 We knew that
  someone was sending us off in funny directions but
 we couldn't work
  out who it was. In retrospect his performance in
 Central America
  should have made us suspicious and standing up in
 front of a German
  audience announcing that he planned to succeed
 where Hitler had 
 failed
  was a bit of a giveaway but because he was
 disguised with a crown we
  thought he was one of us. asked how they finally
 rumbled him the
  spokesman said He overplayed his hand, for years
 we'd been told 
 that
  maintaining high prices meant we would take over
 the world by 
 teaching
  meditation to rich people but it didn't seem to be
 working and we
  thought it must be government agents who were
 misdirecting us. We
  caught him out in a vote over the prices. We all
 voted to reduce the
  prices we charge for learning meditation and he
 was the only one
  holding out for higher prices. He was isolated and
 it was clear
  something funny was going on so we searched his
 room and found coded
  messages from his controller in the BND
 instructing him to make sure
  we kept prices so high no one would learn.
  
  Asked what they planned to do to him he replied
 Well he has to 
 have a
  trial and it's well known that government agents
 float in water so
  we've arranged a public test to see if he floats,
 either that or 
 we'll
  see if he's lighter than a duck 
  
  Another person in the cult claimed He turned me
 into a newt! But I
  got better
  
  Professor Van Dyke a leading Vlodropolgist from
 the University of
  Amsterdam said We've known for years that they're
 stark raving
  bonkers but we thought it was the lysergic acid in
 the Argyreia
  Nervosa they put in their herbal preparations that
 was keeping them
  tripped out. To discover that it was actually all
 part of a 
 government
  plot is quite a surprise. Though I think the agent
 must have had 
 some
  help from the wood gnomes camped out on the
 southern perimeter of
  their compound otherwise he would have been outed
 earlier.

  Ahmadinejad Invites U.N. Inspectors to Search for Homosexuals
 
 
  Permits Use of Advanced Gaydar
 
 
 
  Just days after asserting that there are no homosexuals in Iran,
 Iranian
  President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad today invited United Nations
 inspectors into
  his country to search for homosexuals.
 
  We have nothing to hide, Mr. Ahmadinejad said in a speech to the
 United
  Nations General Assembly. You can search the entire country – even
 the
  airport bathrooms.
 
  While some senior U.S. diplomats expressed scepticism about the
 Iranian
  president's offer to allow U.N. inspectors to search his country for
  homosexuals, Mr. Ahmadinejad attempted to silence the sceptics by
 permitting
  the use of advanced gaydar technology as part of the proposed
 inspections.
 
 
  In Iran we have the most advanced gaydar in the world and we are
 prepared
  to share it with you, he said.
 
  In the immediate aftermath of Mr. Ahmadinejad's speech, it was
 unclear as to
  who would lead the U.N.'s inspection efforts, but most diplomats
 assumed
  that the task would fall to Mohamed ElBaradei, head of the
 International
  Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
 
  At a press conference at the United Nations, Mr. ElBaradei
 acknowledged that
  he had no previous experience searching for homosexuals, but said
 that if
  chosen to lead the inspection effort he would make sure that the
 inspections
  were rigorous and thorough.
 
  The possibility that Iran may possess homosexuals is a serious
 matter to
  the world community, Mr. ElBaradei said. There has been evidence
 for some
  time that Iran may be attempting to build a Broadway musical.
 
  Elsewhere, President Bush made his first official comment on the
 situation
  in Myanmar, telling reporters, I will support whichever side is
 easier to
  pronounce.

some really entertaining stuff and some good writing. Personally I
prefer when Judy is more tongue-in-cheek and less easily offended and
I prefer Turq's cultural reference weave to his serious Judy tweaking.
But none of that is my business. I don't care what drives it, I am a
fan. And at any time I can drop in on either side and get a few well
written responses that get me thinking or laughing or both.

So sorry to lay down such a heavy Kumbaya vibe on yo bitch asses, but
lets have more writing on any topic on FFL. That is what I am here for.

So Curtis, I respect you and your opinion. Do I need to intervene in any

Lawson was perhaps the brightest person on this
forum. Too bad he was a TM supporter.

I'm not trying to get rid of TM supporters. I'm one myself, with
qualifications. But if you were go back and browse the archives of the
period which many would consider to be FFL's heyday, you would notice
several things:

 

1.  Thoughtful discussions predominated.

2.  There was little or no petty bickering.

3.  People didn't flood the chat with vacuous posts.

4.  There were more active participants. Many of these have been driven
away by points 2  3.

 

I'm not saying the AMT folks haven't contributed a lot - they have. But they
brought old grudges and sloppy posting habits with them which may have more
than counterbalanced their contributions. People needn't unsubscribe, but if
they can't voluntarily change old habits, we're going to impose some
control. I've resisted this a long time because I'm not a control freak, but
I think a majority here (including many who have left, discouraged, but

Posting limits aren't going to solve anything, and
I strongly suspect they'll further damage the
quality of the discussion here. It's the *attacks*
that need to be stopped, and if the main source
could be stopped, most of the rest--the responses to
those primary attacks--would subside of its own accord,
and anything left over could be dealt with as it occurs.

But I don't think there's much chance of convincing
Rick of that.

I'm convinced. Let's try posting limits for a while and see how it works. A
majority seem to support the idea. If they don't work, we'll lift them after
a fair trial. I often can't read all the posts, especially during the work
week, so if anyone indulges in personal attacks, point it out to Alex and
me, perhaps by posting something with attack in the subject, such as
Barry attacked me, boo hoo. Then we'll read the post, maybe issue a
warning the first time, then impose moderation on repeat offenders.

That's how I see it. Barry and Judy often write good stuff, but I delete
posts from either of them, unread, the moment I sense that they have
anything to do with their ongoing feud. It's such a childish game. No one
finds it entertaining or edifying in any way.

*I* support it. But I think you're going about it
the wrong way, and I don't think you've correctly
identified the real source of the problem.

If you were to take aside (i.e., in private email)
a few of the people who are most responsible for
the gratuitous(*) attacks--and they're primarily 
attacks *on* TM supporters, not *by* TM supporters--
and tell them they had to stop it or they'd be banned,
I'll bet you'd see a quite remarkable improvement in 
a very short time.

Just as an experiment, you might want to look over
Barry's Things TMers Believe quotes and read them
in context. A very substantial number of them are
responses to attacks by TM critics, primarily by
Barry himself.

If I were to post a compendium of quotes from Barry's
posts attacking TMers, I wonder if you'd offer to
archive it. Somehow I doubt it.

There's a files section on FFL in which anyone can archive anything. There's
also a links section in which you can link to any post. Maybe Barry is
finished with that little exercise. I'll bet that anyone who read your post
(the one I'm responding to here) thought, Oh God, she just doesn't get it.
We're sick of hearing Judy's opinion of Barry and vice versa. We don't care
how justified your self-defense is, just drop it already. Forget the guy

and see how it works. A
 majority seem to support the idea. If they don't work,
 we'll lift them after a fair trial. I often can't read
 all the posts, especially during the work week, so if
 anyone indulges in personal attacks, point it out to
 Alex and me, perhaps by posting something with attack
 in the subject, such as Barry attacked me, boo hoo.

Well, that certainly shows your wise and profound
objectivity, Rick. Gives one real confidence that
you'll do the right thing.

Will posts with attack in the subject be counted
toward an individual's total allowed posts for the day?

No. But it would be better to take the approach Barry suggested - if anyone
is attacked, ignore the attacker and he/she will go away. If that doesn't
work, we can moderate him/her.

 There's a files section on FFL in which anyone can archive
 anything. There's also a links section in which you can link
 to any post. Maybe Barry is finished with that little exercise.

Which you suggested he archive. If I'd posted a
compendium of Barry's attacks, would you have suggested
I archive it? I don't think so.

 I'll bet that anyone who read your post (the one I'm
 responding to here) thought, Oh God, she just doesn't get it.
 We're sick of hearing Judy's opinion of Barry and vice versa.

Just where did I say I planned to post such a compendium,
Rick?

And do you also bet anybody who saw Barry's latest
compendium--which he actually posted--thought, Oh,
God, he just doesn't get it?

See, now you're doing the same thing with me. You're still ragging on Barry,
and you're trying to get on my case. Enjoy it while you can. If you do it
tomorrow, we'll switch you to moderated status. Barry too, if he does what
you're doing.

This would solve the whole, entire problem. But these two parties 
cannot restrain themselves. I don't see it happening.

So starting tomorrow if either of them mentions the other in an offensive or
defensive tone, they'll be switched to moderated status. In other words,
their posts will require moderator approval before showing up on the list.

Which prezident? The the two worst prezidents in my

 I request that peter not make any more disparaging

Taking the risk of being seriously out of sync here, I am a fan of the
Turq - Judy debates. Two writers sparing real time and sometimes
about philosophy? It doesn't replace Bill Maher, but there has been
some really entertaining stuff and some good writing. Personally I
prefer when Judy is more tongue-in-cheek and less easily offended and
I prefer Turq's cultural reference weave to his serious Judy tweaking.
But none of that is my business. I don't care what drives it, I am a
fan. And at any time I can drop in on either side and get a few well
written responses that get me thinking or laughing or both.

So sorry to lay down such a heavy Kumbaya vibe on yo bitch asses, but
lets have more writing on any topic on FFL. That is what I am here for.

So Curtis, I respect you and your opinion. Do I need to intervene in any
way, as I have threatened to? Most people seem to want me to, and want the
Barry/Judy show to end or move elsewhere. Many have unsubscribed because of
it. What would you do in my shoes.
