The third line transliterated exactly as it is
as to spaces between words:

anaadimatparaM brahma

As youse can see above, A.C. transliterates the line
like this:

anaadimat paraM brahma

That's in line with most translations (e.g. "The beginningless
Supreme Brahman").

But in the vocabulary below the translation, A.C. has it
like  this:

anaadi - beginningless; mat-param -subordinate to Me; 

Go figure!

IMO, it needs some linguistic jugglery to make "mat-param"
'subordinate to Me' Ja nyt tämä poika lähti *askalle!

The personal parts won't necessarily be in the book,
except as "local color."  It'll be fiction.

This is from the guy who runs mail-archive. Does anyone here have the skills
to do this?

Subject: Re: Archive FairfieldLife

Hi Rick, sorry for the slow response.  The best way to get all the
existing messages into The Mail Archive is to use a tool called
yahoo2mbox, which can grab all of the messages in a Yahoo Group and
put them into the mbox format (which we can easily import).

http://www.tt-solutions.com/products/yahoo2mbox/

The only problem with this approach is that Yahoo seems to have a
download limit when it detects too many messages being downloaded from
a single computer.  So it might take a while to download all the
messages.

This tool requires you to run Perl from the command-line.  It sounds
like this is out of your area of expertise...is this correct?  If so,
we can try downloading them on our end.

One time on my TTC in Punta Umbria MMY came into the
lecture hall and many, many people were giving him
rudraksha beads and coral. He had a huge amount draped
over is arm. He was laughing and the mound kept on
growing. But as he sat down his mood shifted and he
seemed to get irritated and he tossed the entire mound
into the corner of the couch. He sat down and said
that this was not the way it was supposed to be.
Someone asked him about the value of rudraksha beads
and he said (paraphrased of course)" You know the
little children before they are a major? They can't
drive the big car so they play with the toy car and go
zoom, zoom" Then he laughed long and hard.

I saw him several years ago in Miami. Very nice,

Doberstein, right? He was a nice guy. Quiet and gentle but adamant in his

Hartmut was what I used to call a "Billy Clayton" casualty. Billy filled him
in on the MMY/sex stuff, along with Fred den Ouden, and others, and they
left.

***

I'm not so sure Vedic construction can take place. I recall that MUM 
filled in the small pond on campus so there would be no bodies of 
water south of any bldgs, yet the Liv Manor site has two good-sized 
lakes which are south of the property (one only partially south). 
Even if they move the bldgs west, so that only one lake is south, I 
think it's still too close to be suitable for Sthapathya Ved -- maybe 
not, I'm not sure on how far away a body of water to the south has to 
be before it is no longer inauspicious:

[FairfieldLife] Livingston Manor news

Title: Livingston Manor news





Someone emailed me:

Yesterday Wed. I returned from staying @ Livingston Manor. I went to assist in its clean up etc. & was happy there etc. They have 13 paid helpers   @ the place in residence till the work ends about 10 July 05 they plan to bring M. D. there. *  Sidhas & 5 meditator's including now a cook & assistant cook  This work is running well behind in my & there most informed feeling. Mold in the basement area & all other places are conquered. Rooms in  3 Imperial old celeberty 2 floors & new celeberty 2 floors, are being fully rehabed by several outside contractors, broken windows to be rehabbed & or replaced. Dining room cleaned up & kitchen retrofitted to service 200-300 people. It will take some more time but I feel perhaps late July or Aug it will be complete. All unused bldgs. & former residences are being taken down & only 3 or 4 left for staff.  They have plumbers, boiler people, all competent & industrious. This rehab should allow them to use the Manor grounds for 2-4 yrs till Vedic construction cans take place there.

I truly hope they do come. I'll eat the biggest
crow-pie you can find. But puease..!! This
fundraising angle has really been ground into the
ground. Perhaps they're thinking that there will be a
perfect corellation between last dollar donated and
last drop of goodwill ground to a pulp.

I don't even think he thinks he knows half of the time. He just does what
the smart guys tell him and hopes the teleprompter doesn't break.

The point of the story is that he taught largely from intuition. Knowledge
just flowed out as it was needed.

This is the President of the most powerful nation on
earth. It would make a great joke if it wasn't true.
He truly doesn't know what he is talking about, he
only thinks he knows. A very dangerous combination.

Yep, MMY never had any clue about anything he's talking about. He 
just read from some script prepared for him by Sanskrit scholars

Which "he" would that be? Norbert? Rory? Goering? Bush? All of the

But there's no way to analyze it, so attempting to say "quality =

The mechanics of "stress release" involves rest leading to physical 
repair with an associated mental activity. Some other enlightenment 
program may not involve rest and therefore may not involve physical 
repair with an associated mental activity.

My guess is that they were developed independently. MMY's 
explanaqtion of how stress release works is different than what you 
are saying. You quote him verbatum, then interpret him in a way that 
is often 180 degrees away from what the words are saying (in my 
opinion of course).

TM initiation is the 'backbone' of TM.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Maharishi Vedic Scholars/pandits

2005-06-23 Thread Cliff
I'm shocked...  just SHOCKED.. at your language Peter.  I'm
completely convinced that there are thousands of pundits
moving towards Vedic City at this very moment.  (Of course,
there are equal numbers of pundits moviing away from or
at right angles to Vedic City, as well, from probability
statistics...).   :-)

I think Bob Wynne missed his true calling - he would have
been great at selling indulgences in the early 1500's.

If the pundits are actually coming, Wynne would do himself a world of 
good by supplying some missing numbers. He says

but fails to say how many rooms are now taken by people on the (4-
month?) TTC in Vedic City, which leaves up in the air how many 
pundits are supposed to coming "immediately." He later says support 
for pundits amounts to $450/month, but does not state how much to 
date has been raised and spent on the project, a failure which makes 
him look shifty and would not inspire potential donors to overlook 
the fact that the pundits' imminent arrival has been steadily 
announced for the last two years. I think if Wynne actually does 
cough up some pundits, there will be enough goodwill to overlook all 
the fupucks, but he's not making goodwill easy.

When I was teaching TTC I told Maharishi that I often had the experience
that people would ask a question to which I didn't know the answer, but that
I would start with a few words and then the answer would just come out.
Maharishi said something like, "Very good, that's how I do it."

Well dear, I believe Raja Wynee has his own web site. The other option 
might be to get Prince Alex ( :-) ) to hand deliver your letter. There 
are infinite possibilities ya know..

I've always loved that Ramana Maharishi tradition.
I've enjoyed her books and tapes. She has a new book
out called "Diamond in Your Pocket". Very good.

[FairfieldLife] China 'is more popular' than US

2005-06-23 Thread claudiouk
America's image is still so tattered abroad after the Iraq war that 
China is viewed more favourably than the US in many countries, a 
global poll finds. Its image has not recovered in Western European 
countries, the US-based Pew Research Center found. 

In none of the 16 countries surveyed, the US included, does a 
majority of the public think the war leading to Saddam Hussein's 
removal made the world safer. 

But hostility towards the US has eased in some parts of the Muslim 
world. 

"It's amazing when you see the European public rating the United 
States so poorly, especially in comparison with China," said Andrew 
Kohut, director of the Pew Research Center for the People and the 
Press, which carried out the survey. 

China is well considered in Europe and Asia, although there is 
considerable wariness about its growing economic and military power. 

Solid majorities in every European nation except Turkey would not 
like to see China rival the US as a military superpower, the survey 
said. 

'Hardworking' 

A majority of the public in 10 of the 15 countries surveyed holds 
unfavourable opinions of the US. 

President George W Bush's calls for greater democracy in the Middle 
East and US aid to tsunami victims in Asia have been welcomed in many 
countries. 

"We should keep plugging away on democracy," said former Senator John 
C Danforth, who co-chairs the Pew Global Attitudes Project with 
former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. 

"But we need to do a better job of communicating what we're trying to 
do." 

However, the survey finds that America continues to be viewed as 
largely indifferent to the interests of other countries in setting 
its foreign policies. 

The US image remains relatively poor in Muslim countries like Jordan 
and Pakistan, but has bounced back in Indonesia, the world's largest 
Muslim country. 

In most countries surveyed, Americans are seen as "inventive" 
and "hardworking", but they are also seen by many in both Western and 
predominately Muslim countries as "violent" and "greedy" - a 
judgement with which many Americans agree. 

The survey was conducted among nearly 17,000 people from 20 April to 
31 May with samples of about 1,000 in most countries, with more 
interviews in India and China and slightly fewer than 1,000 in the 
European countries. 

The margin of sampling error ranged from two percentage points to 
four percentage points, depending on the sample size.

My understanding is that it was specifically Hermann Goering who 
eliminated his rival Rohm, after (presumably) causing the Reichstag 
fire and (certainly) exploiting it to eradicate "homeland" civil 
rights in the name of "security".

I'll bet you were good.  You're a find crafter of the written word.  
I do better with the spoken ones (although I have been requested 
to "shut the hell up" on more than one occasion).  

With the "controversial" nature of Scientology, I get plenty of 
practice at the above (answering lots of q's).  With varying results.
We use a personality graph with 10 characteristics to spark our 
inquiry with new people regarding how Scientology might help them.
One charactristic, when low on the graph, shows someone is unwilling 
to trust, usually as a result of having been screwed over in the 
past.  They "push people away" as a defense mechanism.  I dubbed it
(in woman) "The Bitch Syndrome."  I actually was getting away with it 
when the girls (many of whom are very low on this one)asked me what 
it meant (the actual trait is Lack of Accord)  "Well, some people 
feel like you're a bitch"  Worked 5 times.  They looked at me and 
then we both laughed.  Don't want to tell you what happened the 6th 
time.  Suffice it to say, I don't do that anymore. :-)

Would love to hear more about the Inquisiton lifetime.  Will I have 
to read your book?

There's an old New Yorker cartoon that I loved.
It's at a typical NY cocktail party, two people
in the foreground are talking to each other.  
Across the room is a guy with a kind of beatific
smile on his face and no one around him.  One of
the guys in the foreground is saying to the other,
"Avoid that guy.  He's just read a book that 
changed his life."  :-)

Nice of you to say.  At times that intensity has gotten me in to 
trouble, but I do feel passionately about helping others.  
Scientology has helped me to see the other guys point of view better 
and grant him beingness.  

When I first got in to TM I was such a zealot that my friends would 
start to roll their eyes whenever I came around.  I finally got it 
and stopped taliking about it.  Yet, after a full year of consciously 
not mentioning one word about TM to my family, I overheard my mother 
tell a friend on the phone "Yeah, that's ALL Jeff ever talks about:  
TM!"  So maybe what you say is right.  I exude whatever I believe in.

Cool.  Back in the TM world, I used to like doing intro
lectures.  I wound up giving a lot of advanced lectures
at centers and residence courses, but to be honest the
best thing I liked about them was not the prepared spiel

> where I am from.

Thanks for the update.  Your English is incredibly gut.
I studied German in gymnasium (FisCher) but all I really rememeber is 
Noch zwei, bitte when I wanted to order bier for my friend and I.  I 
was in Switzerland (mein unkle has lived there about 40 years), 
Germany and Italy in Jan '72.  I got a horrible chest cold in Munchen 
(how do you make the : roll over?) and my friend and I went to a 
spa.  The sauna was coed with some beautiful, naked women.  I 
got "overheated" and wanted to leave but my friend couldn't bear to 
miss it (Irishman, of course).  They had just built the subway there 
for the upcoming Olympics.  Being from New York, I couldn't believe 
how CLEAN it was.
It didn't look real.  The gravel was pristine, I kept staring at it 
through the glass like it was a museum.

The subways were different, as you were supposed to get a ticket 
date/time stamped when you went in, but as no one seemed to be 
checking, we started to ride for free.  On our last trip I had one 
last valid ticket and used it, but my friend didn't.  On the ride we 
befriended a Turkish guy who spoke some English.  As we were leaving 
he spotted a guy checking tickets.  He was a real old guy with what 
looked like a WWII uniform.  We tried to slip through but he grabbed 
my friend and me and the Turkish guy were pulling on one arm while 
the subway guard was screaming in German, tugging on the other.
Finally, we broke him free and ran like hell.  God, it makes me laugh.

In Dusseldorf (need another rolling :), we went to a party and the 
host, when informed we were Americans said, "Well, How the Hell are 
ya'll" in the best Texas drawl I'd ever heard.  Turns out he'd been 
an exchange student in some small Texas town.  One day he was walking 
down the street with a 6 pack of beer in a bag and a Texas Ranger 
stopped him:  "What ya'll got in the bag, boy?"  He got hauled in as 
he was underage to drink.  He had a bunch of German ID's in his 
wallet.  He pulled them out and said "Officer, my father is the 
diplomatic attache to the German representative to the United Nations"
and showed him the German ID's.  "I just tell you this as it appears 
you want to arrest me and as I have shown you I have Diplomatic 
Immunity, I just don't want you to get in any trouble." 
Well the guy looks at the ID's and looks at the kid who's keeping a 
straight face like a champ.  "Uh, well, OK" he said.  "Get out of 
here."  "But what about my beer?" the kid asks.  "Oh, hell just take 
the beer and GET THE HELL OUT OF HEEH."  Always wished I could have 
balls like that.

Both of these descriptions, which seem to be based on personal

I'm just saying it because IMO it's good to get 
feedback on that sorta thing from time to time.
Being able to express one's dharma in writing in
a way that reaches people intellectually is one 
thing.  Being able to express one's dharma in 
writing in a way that enables the reader to
*feel* that dharma is something else.  You have
that something else.

Very nicely said.  You're good at this, Jeff.  Do you
get a chance to perform auditing yourself, or other-
wise teach within the organization?

You could probably save a lot of money by catching the next flight
from a submerged Russian submarine in the Barents Sea.

One reason I'm here doing research for a historical
novel about the Cathars is that I have memories of
having been there, done that.  Some of the memories
have to do with being on the losing end of a disa-
greement with the Inquisition, and winding up in
the torture chambers of the Papal Palace in Avignon.

I think I'm gonna pass on auditing for a while...I've
got all the drama in my life I can handle...  :-)

Yes, Norbert Weiss from cologne. He was quite a character. He went to
International later, and did some Sidha-land activity in Macau. He was
quite close to MMY at one point, but was also frequently outgoing at
that time. When the Purusha project came along, he wanted to join it,
bt MMY explained to him that it wasn't necessary for him. He went back
to Cologne and then I lost contact.

Yes this was Norbert.  He was a big fan of an initiator who imagined
himself having been  Ernst Röhm, chief of the SA who was executed by
Hitler later on.

Sure. He had all these weird theories. But he was very forceful, sort
of a leader type. We were friends and hanging out a lot together. We
were also at phase one together. We laughed a lot together. We also
had one TM teacher we both adored, who was essential for our initial
TM experience. He first was in Cologne and then went to Nuremberg
where I am from.
