I noticed that too...silence, breakthroughs, the Maharishi channel--I mean, what more could one ask for? Oh, wait a minute... You gotta hand it to them--if this letter is indicative of attitudes on MD...at least they are trying to make the best of what has to be a pretty deplorable situation. OTOH, we still don't know if they've seen the toilets yet. :) Sal On Mar 4, 2006, at 2:34 PM, lurkernomore20002000 wrote: > Personally, I've been enjoying greater silence and > nice breakthroughs in program, and I know I'm not > alone in this.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Greetings from the dream fields :)
And this winter has been one of the milder ones we've had. Then again, most of us aren't living on a flat prairie with no trees in a barracks-like environment, either, having little say in what happens to us. Gotta be tough. Whether it's all completely genuine or not, this letter is a lot more optimistic than I could be under similar circumstances. Buddha in hell--very fitting. :) Sal On Mar 4, 2006, at 1:08 PM, Peter wrote: I agree, Judy. It really is , not a strange letter, but an unusual one.

This is the oddest letter. On one hand, it's shot through with really painful upset and dismay and resentment, but at the same time the blissy parts strike me as completely genuine, not cranked up, as seems so frequently to be the case with MD and Purusha letters in which you can hear the gears practically being stripped. It's like she's feeling both at once, or each in turn as she looks first outside and then inside herself. I'd guess she's never had this experience before, or never so starkly, and doesn't know what the hell to do with it. On some level she *wants* to be depressed, and has good reason to be, but somehow that isn't what's happening. Maybe I'm just romanticizing, but I'm really hearing something different in this letter.

> > Dear Sponsors and Friends, > > > > I can feel that Nature utilized our move for some > > deep clearing out on both an individual and cosmic > > level. > > Hmmm. Just another story, perhaps. Why do we tell > ourselves such silly tales? Perhaps for the same reasons some people say to themselves, "It's my karma...I can't do anything about it," or "God/Nature/TheThreeGunas/Whatever is doing all of this...it's out of my control." These stories are easier for some people to believe than, "I made choices in life that brought me to this point...if I like where they've brought me, I bear the responsibility for having made those choices and for where I wound up. If I don't like where I've ended up, I also bear the responsibility for making the choices that brought me there." It seems to me that if a person believe the first two stories, or a variant of them, then that person pretty much has to believe that there is nothing they can do to change things. But if you believe the last story, then they can change anything they want at any moment. They're all stories, but some stories seem more practical than others... Yahoo!

[FairfieldLife] Re: Greetings from the dream fields :)
While I have great reservations, concerns, and downright complaints about the TMO and MUM in recent years, I always have a soft spot, for "monks and nuns" who dedicate themselves to IT. While they may be deluded in a localized spiral of things, I applaud their non-attachement in the larger sphere of things. And pray for their soft landing if it comes to that. And ectasyate in their attainments when it comes to that. But in concept, in spirit, you gotta love monks and nuns in sustained deep transcendence. I just hope and pray for you Nancy, and all MD, and all ThP, that your path is real and bears deep fruit for "you" and the world. That is a heart-felt ideal. The true realization of that monkish attainment and influence for the world is worthy of great donations of joy. May Bliss, Iowa and MD be One. All blessings and Good Will, aka God Will, to you and MD in VC. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Rick Archer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > first news of MD in FF > > > > > > "The basic potential of life is cosmic, > huge beyond any sensory perception, > huge beyond any mind, > huge beyond any intellect, > it is in the field of the transcendent." > Maharishi, 2/06 > > > Dear Sponsors and Friends, >I wanted to take a moment to write and thank you > all for your good attention and support as I, and all > of US Mother Divine, have been moving from NC to > Fairfield these past couple months.
