please return them to turq c/o Leiden town. And note that according to him, he participates here so that he can roll his eyes and have a constant reminder of how much HE has changed in the last 35 years as compared to some others who haven't. See his post below.
If all this doesn't indicate an issue that needs healing, I don't know what does! Read the excerpt below about Dr. Paul Ekman who specializes in reading faces and... He is right 94% of the time!! How does he do it? Dr. Ekman understands that we have micro-expressions that are exposed on our faces that represent how we REALLY feel. These micro-expressions are brief (lasting just a few milliseconds) and contain emotional signals regarding our internal thoughts. Dr. Ekman studies show that there are many facial expressions that can predict when a relationship will fail but one of the most telling is the contemptuous eye roll! Let's look at this expression and see if you can recognize this in your life... We don't talk about contempt much in our society unless, of course, we're talking about courtrooms and lawyers. So, what is contempt? Contempt is a feeling of being better than another person, of being superior, usually morally superior but it can also be felt toward some who is weaker in intelligence, strength, and so forth. Basically, contempt is devaluing another person and overvaluing your ideas and expectations or your self. During that moment of contempt, your mind is convincing YOU that by devaluing another, you are some how gaining value. That simply is NOT true! Value is not a zero-sum game. Your "contemptuous eye roll" Many times contempt comes from an emotional experience earlier in your life that you have been trained to respond to. PS I haven't read anyone here saying that their thoughts are more powerful because they meditate with others. Another fact that can't find space in the turq brain because it is so stuffed with impressions and opinions and distant memories. And yes, unresolved issues. So what if a person has unresolved issues? Many people do. But I appreciate people like Michael who admit that they're still processing stuff. Very brave admission I think. ________________________________ From: turquoiseb <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, January 28, 2013 3:16 AM Subject: [FairfieldLife] "It's the eyerolling, stupid." Eyeroll city. That said, the eyerolls are worth my ongoing participation. If nothing else, hearing from people who seemingly HAVE NOT CHANGED in the last 35 years is a constant reminder of how much I have. Hearing people still wowed by reading the same spiritual kindergarten-level talks... ...claiming that by doing it they're making their thoughts 10,000 times more powerful than other people's is just Eyeroll City. Hearing people still refer to Maharishi as if he were an important spiritual teacher causes eyerolls in itself. Eyeroll city.
