I think Obama has a nicer smile. ________________________________ From: Michael Jackson <mjackso...@yahoo.com> To: "FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com" <FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Friday, October 26, 2012 8:18 AM Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Back is already broken (was: An Obama win could break the back of this Country) I think life and politics all depends on ones point of view or belief system. The system we have rewards lying, theft and institutionalized pay-offs. There is not a dimes worth of difference between the Dems and GOP nor their chosen figure heads. The only difference becomes what name is on the check the lobbying groups and large donors are writing to get what they want. Now if you want to take the really esoteric route, just look at what Maharishi said in 2003 (can you believe I am quoting him?) Maharishi:‘God is well aware of the hypocrisy of man. You can’t hide behind the name “God” and do wrong things—you know? He has set the laws: As you sow, so shall you reap. Period! As you sow, so shall you reap. This is the kindness of God, who has given man that freedom. You like—what you like, you can do. You like, you can do. But what you do, you cannot undo the result of your own doing. You have to bear the fruits of your doing. As you sow, so shall you reap. As you sow—it’s a law. It’s a universal law. It’s a universal law. ‘God is not after each man: You do this, you do this, you don’t do this, you don’t do this. No, no. God is God, Administrator of the galactic universe! He rules by one law. The law is: Freedom to you, do what you want to do, and you will get the results of what you do, that’s all. You can fool yourself, but you cannot fool the Almighty Intelligence, the Administrator of the universe, the Light of God. So we see from this point of view that everything that is happening in our country is a matter of collective reaping what we have sown. But we could vilify the politicians if we want to and blame them. If you want to combine practical life and esoteric life, we can say we are reaping what we have sown by continuing to elect crooked politicians and not requiring the wealthy businessmen of the world play by the same rules as everyone else (meaning letting them get by with bribing the politicians) In that same vein, the lack of success of the Movement to create world peace, actually teach someone to levitate, or finish any project they ever started (not to mention the failure to produce a single enlightened person, yeah I know I am going out on a limb by saying that) is also the karma, reaping what someone has sown. Is it our collective karma as a group (every meditator - sidha - initiator - governor - minister - raja that ever lived) that has created such inefficient behavior and results or is it Maharishi and his top leaders whose reaping we have all been sowing? Ah dunno. ________________________________ From: Mike Dixon <mdixon.6...@yahoo.com> To: "FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com" <FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Friday, October 26, 2012 10:26 AM Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Back is already broken (was: An Obama win could break the back of this Country) But not because of his leadership. Most of the expansion of current production is from leases granted under the Bush administration or from private land ownership. Obama has cut federal leases during his administration because he wants gas prices to rise to encourage development of the Volt, a major investment by the gubment, which nobody seems to be buying. The newest oil field production, in North Dakota, is on primarily private land. I just heard today that a major oil field, approximately 5 billion barrels, has been discovered in eastern Ohio, Romney country.
