Fleetwood, I don't see the value of expressing negative emotions here. If that means others think I'm dishonest and avoid me, that's their choice.

How the heck would she name herself Oprah, in tribute to Harpo, when it is on her birth certificate? I think you are getting confused by the name of her production company, Harpo, which is Oprah, backwards. I know you avoid confrontation on here, and would rather reveal your emotions in a passive aggressive way, but your spitefulness comes through, anyway. So the question is, Share, would you rather be known as someone who is honest with her feelings, or represses them and then gets quietly nasty, when she can? Looks like you have opted for the second option. Too bad. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <sharelong60@...> wrote : Fleetwood, she calls herself Oprah as a tribute to Harpo Marx. I guess you were barfing, and in color, when that was revealed. On Thursday, June 12, 2014 12:24 AM, "fleetwood_macncheese@...

Em ain't a TM fool like you and me. Also it is a misnomer to call it Brahman Consciousness. Depending on the perspective of the person yakking about it, Brahman incorporates, or supercedes, consciousness. It is just referred to as Brahman. Why? No fucking clue; why does she call herself, "Oprah"? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <steve.sundur@...> wrote : Yes, you are right. "Waking State" generally applies to an unenlightened state of consciousness. First you have your waking, sleeping and dreaming states of consciousness. Then you have your cosmic consciousnesses, which is transcendental consciousnesses, along with the other three - waking, sleeping and dreaming. Then after a spell, and sufficient production of soma, you become aware of the finest value of relative existence, aka, celestial perception, known as God Consciousness, or glorified cosmic consciousnesses. Then, it is said, that God, noticing someone appreciating his creation to that extent reaches out, and bestows unity consciousness upon the devotee. And those are the Seven States of Consciousness as outlined by MMY. There is also said to be Brahman Consciousness in which the wholeness of unity continues to expand into a greater and greater wholeness. I think I've got that right. But yes, waking state is considered generally a (spit) less evolved state.

Emily, I believe, was asking about the second ("as it is discussed on this forum"), whereas Xeno assumed she was asking about the first. So your response, it seems to me, is more appropriate in this context. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <fleetwood_macncheese@...> wrote : waking state, spans all activity, composed of being up and active, asleep, or dreaming. It is a common state of consciousness. The silence, or sense of buffering, and peacefulness, that comes from deliberate acts for spiritual growth, like yoga, is either absent, or easily upset. The subjective sense of self is largely limited to a body-centric identity. That's "waking state", and it has very little to do with what a person does in their life, whether a POTUS, priest, or average joe. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <emilymaenot@...> wrote : Re: "You guys can't even figure out waking state, huh?
