By the time he died, AIDS had been recognized as a health
crisis. But Reagan didn't mention AIDS publicly until
*1987*, six years after AIDS had been recognized as a
health threat, by which time many thousands had died of
it and many more were ill with it.

Here's an article from 2004, shortly after Reagan's death,
that describes his indifference and its costs:

http://www.sfgate.com/opinion/openforum/article/Reagan-s-AIDS-Legacy-Silence-equals-death-2751030.php

http://tinyurl.com/9udrrwb

And it wasn't until 1988, when Surgeon General Koop sent
a brochure on AIDS to 107 million households, that "safe
sex" became a national byword.

My point is only that the fight against AIDS got a slow
start because those who were most afflicted initially--
gay men, IV drug users, and Haitians--were not at the top
of most folks' priority lists (as Ann pointed out).

He was fortunate (with regard to treatment, at least) to be
living in California, where awareness and treatment experience
was highest. How long was he sick before he died? When did he
find out he was HIV-positive? (I'm not trying to be nosy,
simply to understand where he was in terms of the awareness
timeline. Feel free to ignore those questions.)

Yeah, I can only speak from experience, in California. My brother was one of 
those early casualties (1988, RIP), and he had excellent, and free, medical 
care, the latest drugs and treatment for the time, both in SF and LA. 
Unfortunately, as hard as everyone was working to further the science, it 
wasn't fast enough. Even the patients did not understand their symptoms well, 
at first. In his case, I saw no evidence, whatsoever, of anybody denying, or 
slowing down, his treatment. 

So considering that my brother had no money, and was nobody special, I have to 
wonder about the facts of what you read, or, why he was treated as an apparent 
anomaly. You may be right, from some statistical measure, in which case I'd 
have to say my brother was very fortunate, indeed.

I'm well aware of the advances and the difficulties.
I certainly didn't intend to slight the efforts and
dedication of the researchers, who did and continue
to do extraordinary work.

I'm thinking of the fact that your former governor,
Ronald Reagan, as president didn't think AIDS was
worth mentioning for far too long; communities sat
on their hands instead of working on awareness; and
funds for research were not that high a priority to
start with. It's a whole 'nother side of the story,
a very ugly one.

The scientists working on AIDS are making huge advances in treatment, and have 
been fiercely dedicated to slowing the spread of AIDS, since it first appeared. 
Treatment, at least in California, has been, and is, widely available, and 
income sensitive. The most difficult issue has been that HIV is a virus, and so 
it is both well protected, and very difficult to eradicate from the body. 

Considering the brief space of time since the epidemic began, it is nothing 
short of a miracle, to me, that it is no longer considered 100% fatal, and 
lifespans of those infected have greatly increased. 

Back in the late '80's, AIDS = death, automatically, and conclusively.  
Anti-viral drugs were just being introduced, and they were quite toxic. That is 
no longer the case, and that is amazing.

I am all for further and faster advances, but there has been no shortage of 
resources put into this battle.

For me this is the greatest part of this tragedy. If all AIDS sufferers had 
been blond haired, blue eyed Caucasian children sired by parents with annual 
incomes over $100,000 per year this disease, initially, would have been tackled 
a lot earlier and more aggressively and with many more resources.

Technical note: AIDS isn't actually a disease, it's a
"syndrome" (AIDS = acquired immune deficiency syndrome).
One doesn't die of AIDS but rather of AIDS-related
illnesses that one's immune system would otherwise have
prevented. The syndrome is caused by infection with the
HIV virus (human immunodeficiency virus), which
destroys the immune system.

Let's put this discussion on a more factual basis (John,
this is for your information as well):

At the time, it was *much* riskier because the incidence
of HIV infection among gay men was much greater than it
was in heterosexuals. But it isn't known when Liberace
became HIV-positive. It's been reported that he was
already symptomatic in 1985. If so, it means he could
have contracted the virus in the very early days of the
epidemic before enough was known about the disease for
him to have even been aware that gay sex was risky.

The earliest report of AIDS in a medical publication
was in 1981, when the CDC described a cluster of five
men in Los Angeles who had died of Pneumocystis carinii
pneumonia, one of the otherwise-rare opportunistic
infections to which people with depressed immune
systems are vulnerable. Of course the disease causing
the immune deficiency hadn't yet been identified as
such, and it would be awhile before it was realized
that it could be spread via sexual contact.

One of the reasons AIDS was able to spread as it did
before it was recognized as a new disease is that the
*average* time from infection to illness is eight to
ten years.

Well, no, actually he didn't, as it turned out. He would
have infected more than a few men, but the idea that he
started the epidemic in North America all by himself has
been found to have been a myth. A number of gay men like
him, who traveled a lot and were promiscuous, were
responsible for their own clusters of infection, from
which the virus subsequently spread widely.

Moreover, it has since been discovered that the first
death from AIDS in the U.S. occurred in 1969, and that
HIV may have been responsible for even earlier deaths.

AIDS was called the "gay plague" (including by gays)
because most of the cases of it in the U.S. were in
gay men. There's no way to sugar-coat this: gay men
were particularly vulnerable because in those days
gay men were particularly promiscuous.

But then one has to ask: Why were they so promiscuous?
There's an excellent case to be made that it was a
reaction to social prejudice against homosexuality.
Having many sexual partners was one thing a gay man
could do to boost his self-esteem in defiance of the
condemnation. Society didn't allow gay men a lot of
other options.

Plus which, social disapproval of homosexuality 
resulted in significant delays in awareness and
research and treatment. Bottom line, many thousands
more gay men died of AIDS in the U.S. than would have
been the case in the absence of homophobia.

Worse, because it contributed to the ongoing prejudice
against gays, a gay man who was also a rather promiscuous 
flight attendant. He became a one-man pandemic, a Typhoid 
Mary for our times. 

Had the AIDS virus infected Warren Beatty, who claims
to have had sex with hundreds and perhaps thousands
of women (he can't remember), would the virus have
been called in its early days "the movie star plague"
instead of what it WAS called, the "gay plague?"

I think not. Homophobes keep associating AIDS with 
gay sex because that fuels their hatred of gays and
gives them more justifications for keeping that
hatred alive. They have no similar hatred towards 
movie stars.

So did his Jyotish reading indicate he was a risk taker? A sexual risk taker in 
particular or just someone like any other person who is willing to climb a 
mountain, jump big jumps on horses, become a Fireman, join the military, become 
a prostitute - all risky behaviour? Of course, gay sex is not necessarily 
riskier than hetero sex - just ask those Doctors treating millions of people 
with AIDS in Africa, for example. Patient 0 in North America just happened to 
have been a gay man.

And those who love members of the opposite sex don't have to engage in hetero 
sex but it is a natural and common thing to do and will continue to happen as 
long as humans continue to walk the Earth. Not having sex with someone who is 
available, attractive, willing and who you perhaps love beyond friendship is as 
easy and natural as falling off a stool. Just ask Nabby (or Card when he's 
shunning the gluten). Gay sex, straight sex equals sex and people like it - 
alot.

Judy,

I did not intend to make a judgement on Liberace's sexual persuasion.  My point 
was that he took a chance to engage in gay sex.  It just so happened that he 
was exposing himself to a risky behavior which resulted in his acquiring AIDs.

I will let the preachers and gurus judge as to the morality of gay sexual 
activity.  However, one can say that some people have a natural predisposition 
for liking people of the same gender.  But they don't necessarily have to have 
gay sex to satisfy their desire.

That's nice to hear then.  Just wanted to verify what was being said.  In that

I think Barry must have had a harrowing work week and
needs to scream at folks here so he doesn't end up
screaming at his boss.

I do disagree with you about Liberace, however, in that
for him, choosing not to have gay sex would have very
likely been the equivalent of choosing to have *no* sex.
I do not believe, if there is a God, that God would ask
that of homosexuals; nor do I believe that's what the
biblical verses interpreted to mean homosexual behavior
is a sin actually mean.

I absolutely don't believe that statement. I was riffing off Barry's "no God"

Oedipus put his eyes out because he realized he had
married his own mother.

The fox said the grapes were sour because he was
pissed off that he couldn't reach them.

King Midas died of starvation because he had
prayed for the power to turn everything he touched
to gold.

And then there are the utterly hopeless nitwits
like Barry who can't tell the difference between
someone citing a myth to make a point about what
it teaches, and insisting the myth really happened.

(This is especially likely to be a source of
confusion when the hopeless nitwit has a desperate
need, like Barry, to put somebody down to make
himself feel More Important. Sometimes these 
nitwits are so driven they hallucinate that
*EVERYBODY* is insisting the myth really
happened even when *nobody* is.)

Actually, I don't believe the Adam and Eve myth
had anything to do with homosexuality. At least,
not the one in the Bible that John is referring
to. And the "as if" is in Barry's mind, not in
John's, as is the hatred. That's where the
accusations of bigotry and homophobia come from.

I think Adam and Eve were just meant to represent that God created a Man AND a 
Woman, were their names Adam and Eve? Doubtful

I think the Garden of Eden was merely symbolic of the idealic life they had 
before the *fall*; paradise lost! Was it called the Garden of Eden, doubtful, 
come on Turq!

Are you INSANE?

Adam and Eve never existed. Nor did the Garden
of Eden. These are all *stories* made up to 
entertain stupid people. 

Clearly you seem to BE one. 

You're ALSO the person who trots out equally
made-up stories from the Gita or the Vedas to
excuse inexcusable actions or beliefs. Those
stories never happened, either, and those
"people" never existed. They're MYTHS. 

The good part about myths is that they can be
used to teach concepts. The bad part about myths
is that stupid people tend to believe that the
stories really happened. 

And then they trot out the myths AS IF they
really happened, and use them to excuse their
bigotry, hatred, and homophobia, as John just 
did above.

Salyavin,

A Christian televangelist once stated that there was NO prohibition against 
incest at the time of Adam and Eve and his children.  At that time, the 
commandment was to be fruitful and multiply.  The prohibition became effective 
at the time of Moses, who is considered to be the Law Giver among the Hebrews.

Share,

The jyotish yogas or configurations were made by observations that are 
correlated to world events and effects.  I don't believe the ancient rishis or 
present ones know exactly how this actually works out in scientific terms.

But my pet theory is that this is due to the universe being a hologram.  IOW, 
we as humans are a representation of the universe as a whole.  And, our body 
cells are the representation of us.  In short, the human body is the universe 
itself according to MMY.

Perhaps not the "concept" but most likely the 'reality'. Are you sure "Laws of

I don't believe that you are really, in actual fact, interested in hearing or

to sit and listen to a homophobe be 'honest' than you want your Jyotish chart

salyavin that's interesting that we have less genetic diversity in our whole 
population than wild chimpanzees do. Noticing that you say wild, I'm wondering 
if chimpanzees in captivity have a diversity more similar to humans. And why do 
we have less genetic diversity?

Ah, that's the mistranslated word!

I thought god was just being lazy with the rib thing, like
he'd done 6 days work already and couldn't be bothered to
make *one* other being thus dooming us all.

Funny that man is such an interbred creature though, our 
biblical forefathers couldn't have forseen that we have less 
genetic diversity among our entire number than any group of 
wild chimpanzees. Can't imagine explaining the concepts to
them though. Amazing and we have some volcano induced climate
change to thank for it, it wiped most of us out 70,000
years ago. But not mitochondrial Eve whose DNA we all carry
still. The one woman whose children all survived. The mother 
of man!

Maybe it's me but I notice that whenever science overturns one
excellent story it replaces it with something much more interesting. You can't 
stop progress!

But John would we say that the planets CAUSED the AIDS? All we can really say 
is that they indicate it. I do believe that there is a deeper phenomenon that 
gives rise to both the jyotish configuration and the disease. And I agree with 
noozguru that jyotish is just like other sciences including weather 
forecasting: it's all about probabilities.

Salyavin,

I believe I posted a planetary configuration in Liberace's chart.  He had the 
combination of Rahu and the Moon in the 12th house in the sign of Scorpio.  He 
had the option not to engage in gay sex.  But he chose to engage in it.  As 
such, it was highly likely he would catch AIDs.  And, in the end, he did and 
was fatal.

NO, no, no, no , no! Barry while I agree with most of your posts I must stand 
up for humanity and declare you are WRONG!!! Adam and Eve were and are real - 
they are both up in heaven with Jesus and God, Moses and Elija and all the 
other Biblical Patriarchs (not many Biblical women made it in, apparently). 
These great children of God take care of things in Heaven.

On the earth, Santa Claus or Father Christmas who was born on the same exact 
day that Jesus was born, and after he had had a few hundred years of training 
by verified saints he began to deliver gifts to the Christian children of the 
world. The Easter Bunny was Jesus's pet when he was here and was given a 
special dispensation to give sweets and eggs to Christian kids.

ALL of these things are in the same category of Absolute Truth and Veracity as 
Marshy being enlightened and having given the earth Supreme Knowledge, that 
there are other enlightened saints running around, all of whom are vetted by 
Benjy Creme who has himself been given a special dispensation from God (just 
like the Easter Bunny) to have special knowledge to hep the rest of us. The 
same level of truth exists in that God has sent the Space Bros to us and in 
their advanced state of technology and consciousness they spend their nights 
smashing innocent farmers crops to let us know they are thinking of us.

ON top of all this is the truth that all the Vedic Gods and Goddesses are in 
heaven with God and Jesus because we know that Marshy believed in them Vedic 
Gods and Goddesses and we know for a fact that Marshy could only have Cosmic 
Thoughts since he wuz a Saint. 

So sorry to have to correct you, but the truth will out as the Bard said (whom 
everyone knows was Francis Bacon and he was really St Germain.)

Don't be ridiculous. They were RLY REEELY STOOOPID

If Eve is a clone of Adam, then they're brothers, and Eve is actually Yves.

IMO, if one translates a word that prolly means something totally
different, as 'rib', it portrays the ancestors of Jesus, etc, as
RLY REEELY STOOOPID or PERVERT??

It doesn't matter whether you translate the description

Has everyone on this forum LOST THEIR MINDS? 

"Adam and Eve" is a MYTH. 

As is God. 

As is the concept of anyone, anywhere, at any point
in time "knowing" what the "Laws Of Nature" are. 

Someday I'd love for homophobes to actually "come out"
and be HONEST. They hate the idea of gay sex because
either they've been taught to by generations of homo-
phobes before them, many of them posing as "religious"
leaders claiming to "know" things that no human can
know (and many of them closet homosexuals themselves), 
or they're terrified that THEY might have had a few 
gay sex impulses themselves, or both. 

Such beliefs strike me as an INSULT to the very idea
of God, if one believed in one. How could *anyone*
imagine that a God would be such a micromanager and
such a prude that He/She/It would give a shit what
any of His/Her/Its creations do with their convex or
concave parts. After all, He/She/It created over
1,500 species on planet Earth that display homosexual
behavior. 

Did He/She/It just *fuck up* when doing that, or 
should it be taken as a sign that humans' fear of 
such behavior is THEIR prejudice, not God's?

AIDS is similarly a *disease*, without prejudice. It
became associated with gay behavior *by accident*,
not by any cosmic design, and similarly afflicts
those who indulge in straight sex. HIV/AIDS is a 
global pandemic, and as of 2011 approximately 34 
million people have HIV worldwide. Of these, 
approximately 17.2 million are men, 16.8 million 
are women and 3.4 million are less than 15 years 
old. There were about 1.8 million deaths from AIDS 
in 2010, down from 2.2 million in 2005.

If "your" God did all that just to punish "bad"
behavior in gay people, you can *have* the malignant,
sadistic motherfucker. I want no part of anyone or
anything that insane, or anyone who reveres Him/Her/It.

Adam and Eve huh? You know, if god made Eve out of Adam's rib
then they shared DNA, which makes them brother and sister.
Which is incest. Now *that* is a law of nature being broken!

That's complete bullshit - to believe that one has to on some level believe 
that God sanctions heterosexual energy and does not sanction homosexual - God 
has no judgement against any of His/Her children, not even those foolish enough 
to believe that Marshy was enlightened and yes I know all about what Charlie 
Lutes used to say about homosexual sex creating monsters on the astral planes - 
he was more of a bullshiter than Marshy and that's saying a lot!

Uh-oh, jr, you just opened yourself up to being called a homophobe, bigot and 
any other expletive the self righteous superiors wish to call you on this

Salyavin,

I believe I posted a planetary configuration in Liberace's chart.  He had the 
combination of Rahu and the Moon in the 12th house in the sign of Scorpio.  He 
had the option not to engage in gay sex.  But he chose to engage in it.  As 
such, it was highly likely he would catch AIDs.  And, in the end, he did and 
was fatal.

OK but shouldn't it also be able to tell when, or if, you quit
smoking and when, or if, you get seriously ill from it.

You did claim that someone died of AIDS because of planetary

Salyavin,

A good jyotish recommendation is similar to a doctor telling you to avoid 
smoking and drinking in order to remain healthy.  If you fail to do so, it is 
highly likely that you will get lung cancer and a liver problem.

Perhaps you could call astrology the science of 'probabilities', for instance, 
if you repeat an action the same way 99 times in a row, what are the chances 
you will do it the 100th time in the same way?, that's astrology in a nutshell, 
IMO. 

The planets define ones habit patterns from previous lifetimes, as ye sow so 
shall ye reap. We create our own horoscope (destiny) by the lives we have lived 
in the past, (karma).

But you've only got to do one thing opposite to what's recommended
by the horoscope and the whole thing is irrelevant forever. Unless
the universe resets itself to match your new destiny, which hardly
seems likely.

Think about it. If you aren't doing one day what was predicted then
the next prediction is in error and they will keep being in error
until you start going along with your earliest chart. Or is that the
idea? Shit, maybe that's why it doesn't work.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Marshy on Jyotish...

2013-06-13 Thread John
Salyavin,

You have to remember that jyotish is a model of a person's life potential which 
takes into consideration the various probabilities and permutations of his/her 
actions.  IOW, a person has the free will to take whatever actions are best for 
his/her life.  As such, each action has a corresponding result or fruit of 
action.

In short, jyotish is the science of light which guides humans to take the best 
actions (morally and holistically) in order to get the best results in life.

Xeno,

The modern equivalent to elephants are motor vehicles like cars, vans, and 
trucks.  You have to use your common sense.

By the way, that program is excellent and I'm still using it in my jyotish 
analyses.

How many cars have you owned?

Which brings up a point about Indian astrology.  It was the purview of 
the rich not the masses.  Obviously at the time only the rich could 
afford to have their charts cast and often it was only the kings or 
rajas.  For the masses there was the panchang using the position of  the 
moon which can be determined by just looking at moon's phases.

We haven't even touched palmistry yet but it may give another clue as to 
why astrology works.  I also took courses on it and once read the palm 
of the wife of a co-worker.  I told her there would be some medical 
issues ahead.  Another co-worker who had taken some of the palmistry 
classes with me was shocked I would say such a thing.  He didn't notice 
the grin on the couple's face.  They had recently learned they were 
expecting a child.

Astrology most likely developed from marking time with the moon, then 
the sun and eventually the planets.  What was being observed were 
patterns in nature that repeat themselves.  Those who know the physics 
of sound know that a fundamental sound has overtones.  The universe was 
created as a fundamental tone we are just the overtone series.  It's 
like the whole universe is made of fractals.

Astrology is not supposed to be exact.  Weather forecasting isn't exact 
either but provides the likelihood of weather patterns. Similarly 
astrology provides a likelihood of patterns occurring in someone's 
life.  Bad astrologers believe it to be black and white.

I'll try but I think Nader's problem is that they aren't visible
to the naked eye and can't just put them in without polluting
the vedic language with new ideas.

I watched a bit of it, the first few mins were quite interesting actually. But 
I disagree that our ancient ancestors knew more
than we do. They may have *believed* differently about everything
but beliefs aren't knowledge. You never know what they might
have seen and interpreted differently to how we would, all the
"wheels within wheels" stuff in the bible sounds like a description
of the gates of Babylon.

Interesting idea about why there are 7 days weeks though, it's
all to do with the moon of course and it all comes from Babylon.
We still use so much from that civilisation even though it 
disappeared in old testament times, but we've kept the stories
alive. Funny how some beliefs stick and get passed on...

Exclusively a computer? That strikes me as nonsense, the planets impel NOT 
compel as the saying goes. MMY probably didn't know much about astrology 
himself. The freewill of the soul is the unknown factor X; we can always change 
our destiny laid out by the stars by spiritualized will.

A computer is certainly useful but also has its limits, the astrologers 
intuition can also play a big part in diagnosis.

I like your comment about having Total Knowledge, TM isn't even being taught in 
the context of Yoga anyway, that eliminates an entire section of Patanjali's 
ashtanga (eight limbed) Yoga.

TM is MMY's attempt to introduce Yoga and Vedic culture to modernity through 
the back door of science, TM, is *Yoga-lite* for modernity. And Yoga is the 
practical means to achieve the ends stated in Sanatana Dharma or the "eternal 
Religion represented by the Vedas" as MMY has stated, in his transcribed book, 
"The Vedas" 1964.

I doubt if little Tony Nader knew why the ancients only considered the 7 
'planets'; 5 planets and two luminaries (Sun and Moon). Manly Hall has

I recall having a printout from a Fairfield, IA developed program called
