The high tech sector should be hiring experienced people and making young people apprentices. Young people have no edge on technology. They just believe they do. Too much politics in the medical sector as all the opportunists jump in to fill their rice bowls. > "Throughout history, poverty is the normal > condition of man.

We could put technology on pause for a couple centuries a be just fine. Most of the populace can't keep up with technical advances. Then there's simple living too which is not poverty. Americans were sold an extravagant, unsustainable standard of living. One could also sell them "simple living" to which is sustainable and still comfortable. An attempt to do this was made before the fire breathing dragon Reagan took office.

And it was a Republican administration that pushed the bail out in the fall of 2008. The Republicans have a conspiracy running at the behest of their wealthy contributors to bankrupt the American middle class so they can buy their properties for pennies on the dollar. The only way to get out of this will be a full scale revolution. And what are those jobs you're going to create? You seem to want to wuss out of answering that.

You are not going to get that by starting a revolution - you'd go broke in a week and probably starve to death in a month. According Robert Reich, the Dems you voted for have dropped the ball on the economy. Romney is all about job creation and that is what Americans are going to vote for.

He's now quoting Robert Reich. Voting only an illusion any more. Your vote is manipulated. How many of us voted for "change" and didn't get it? Revolutions foment when you oppress the working class. That's what happened in Russia. People were working long hours and only to get part of a loaf of bread when wheat harvests were just fine. They had it with the oligarchs. And the oligarchs got their just desserts. Can it happen here? Hard to say but the shit is REALLY about to hit the fan. I was listening to reports over the weekend on MAINSTREAM media and if you could send those back in time a few years people wouldn't believe what they were hearing. Back then you were considered a "kook" if you suggested that we may be headed for a very bad depression. This is what I said here in 2006: "I predict that the US is in for a big scale depression much that will make the Depression of the 1930's look like a Sunday picnic. It has to happen as the US lives on too high a standard of living to continue. We consume seven times the resources we should. There could have been a kind way to readjust the economy for this which I think was what was in mind at the end of the 1970's before Reagan came along and screwed things up. But so many Americans are just so spoiled and living in an illusion anyway the painful way will be good since it will wake them up." http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/105401 Fast forward ahead to this article today on CNBC: "Interest rates are amazingly low and that, thanks to Ben Bernanke, is driving everything," Yastrow said.

You mean the parasites like General Electric who pay no federal taxes? Or the parasites who sit by their swimming pools and clip coupons and live on their dividends? Yup, you're probably right. And it's the young we are motivating to revolution. Otherwise they have no future.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Wars
The enigma part is okay to my mind, but the blazing light of Brahman part seems as if it's a conditioned response. It may be true, or it may not be. If he is a blazing light of brahman then one would never be able to tell, because Brahman has no observable characteristics. In point of fact, a person in Brahman will not show any specific qualities that one can even identify, or they are merely an ordinary person, and if they are manifesting things that can be conceptualized which seem amazing then they are merely a common person with some sidhis. If a teacher seems to makee one think all kinds of whacky things and always concept after concept, then they are emphatically not a teacher of Brahman. A teacher of Brahman is a very boring individual who one needs sticks in their eyes to stay awake near. because they are telling one nothing new, they are saying nothing which needs to be said. - Original Message - From: nablus108 To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, June 14, 2006 3:16 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Wars And do you> know everything there is to know about MMY?Maharishi is an enigma to me.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Wars
He can't openly have sex for fear it will destroy his popular image, he does not have the open recognition of his peers, his megalomaniacal disposition speaks volumns about his state of mind, and then he rants showing discontent, and then recants showing his great compassion, all thus showing much inner conflict. We can only judge him based on his tendencies, not based on our own experience. He is exiled from his beloved Bharat. That alone is enough to prove that he simply cannot be a happy man in spite of his millions. And the very worst thing is that he has no companion who is not a servant. That alone is a horrible thing. What sort of communion can he have? Finally he has destroyed his own institution and people are making of him a fool. You know that must just kill him. This is all conjecture or inference. I don't know a thing. My main point is that for all his alleged liberation he is still bound hand and foot. More bound than a poor hobo. - Original Message - From: jim_flanegin To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, June 14, 2006 12:27 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Wars --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Kirk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:>> > > Next comes the full integration, the living of the knowledge.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Wars
Actually, Brahman Consciousness is a state of awareness and not a deity to worship or ponder. It is the state of freedom from referents. Therefore, to describe it as some 'thing' is a fallacy, and the condition of dualistic and occluded thinking. - Original Message - From: tomandcindytraynoratfairfieldlis To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, June 13, 2006 11:42 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Wars TorquiseB writes snipped:Life is *full* of contradictions.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Wars
Dude, consistency is your hangup, not mine. :-) It's *you* who seems unable to conceive of holding multiple points of view on a subject. If you remember, it was you who seemed to believe that what we wrote in the posts quoted below somehow implied that Bhairitu and I didn't feel compassion for the soldiers who fight and die, or that we were ragging on veterans. Of course I feel compassion for them. AND at the same time I believe that each and every one of them who agreed to fight and die in some political leader's war did their part to perpetuate war. AND, not OR. There's a difference in Search Engines, and there's a difference in real life. :-) But even though my points of view in this case aren't really contradictory, I have a few that are. Is that a problem for you? Do you really not have any contradictory beliefs and points of view in your life? I'm really not trying to give you a hard time here, even though you certainly seemed to be trying to give me one. I'm trying to explain something to you, a certain fluidity that can exist in terms of self. Many, if not most people believe that they have a personality, a self. I really don't believe that. We have millions of them. Remember the olde saying, "Know thyself?" Rama's version of that was "Know thyselves." It made sense around him. For whatever reason (and I really still don't *have* a reason to offer to you), being in his energy field flipped you in and out of different selves faster than shit through a goose. You'd flip back and forth between 20 or 30 completely different states of attention in a day. Each of these states of atten- tion had its own self, and each of those selves had its own mode of perception and its own point of view. Contradictions were encountered frequently. So in such a situation, do you hold on to the traditional notions of one self, one personality? Or do you get a bit more fluid with things and not worry so damned much about contradictions? I think it is safe to say I went the latter route. I have no *problem* with contradictions. You keep homing in on them as if you want me *to* have a problem with contradictions. It's just not gonna happen, dude. Lighten up. Life is *full* of contradictions. So, as far as I can tell, is enlightenment. Before enlightenment, Chop Suey and contradictions; after enlightenment, Chop Suey and contradictions.
