I can recommend only that you read Road Trip Mind (http://www.ramalila.net/RoadTripMind). There is not a word of fiction in it. Everything described in that book took place exactly as described. But you won't believe it, and that's neither my fault, nor my business. As a writer or as someone on a spiritual path, I don't have to anchor myself to the limitations of others.

It sounds like you are saying that Emily Warwick had a sister "Toby", as in Toby Finebloom. But this is not right. Emily Warwick only had a brother, Charlie, as far as I know.

[FairfieldLife] Nothing wrong with this picture
As it should be: in this land of gas-guzzlers and SUV-drivers, it would be out of place if Chevron DIDN'T see profits soar. Good for them. --- Chevron Earnings Soar 49 Percent to $4B By MICHAEL LIEDTKE, AP Business Writer Fri Apr 28, 10:20 AM ET SAN RAMON, Calif. - Chevron Corp.'s first-quarter profit soared 49 percent to $4 billion, joining the procession of U.S. oil companies to report colossal earnings as lawmakers consider ways to pacify motorists agitated about rising gas prices. Chevron released its results Friday after two of its biggest rivals, ConocoPhillips and Exxon Mobil Corp., already provoked public outrage with similarly large first-quarter profits. Combined, the three oil companies earned $15.7 billion during the first three months of the year. San Ramon, Calif.-based Chevron's net income for the three months ended in March translated into $1.80 per share, two cents above the average estimate among analysts polled by Thomson Financial. It compared to a profit of $2.7 billion, or $1.28 per share, in the same January-March period last year. Revenue totaled $54.6 billion, a 31 percent increase from $41.6 billion last year. Investors cheered the results as Chevron shares gained $1.22, or 2 percent, to $61.20 in early trading on the New York Stock Exchange. If not for continuing production problems caused by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita last summer, Chevron said it would have made an additional $300 million an amount that would have generated the highest quarterly profit in the company's 127-year history. As it was, the performance marked the fourth consecutive quarter that Chevron has earned at least $3.6 billion as the company continued to capitalize on oil prices that have climbed above $70 per barrel since the first quarter ended. The run-up recently has pushed gasoline prices above $3 per gallon, much to the frustration of consumers straining to pay their bills and politicians looking to win votes in an election year. As Congress discusses tax changes that threaten to crimp the industry's profits, oil executives have been emphasizing that their companies have been investing in projects that will eventually increase oil supplies something that could help lower prices. Chevron raised its capital and exploratory budget by 76 percent in the first quarter to $3 billion. The company also it acquired a 5 percent stake in a joint venture that plans to build a refinery in Jamnagar, India that could process up to 580,000 barrels of oil per day. Chevron is considering boosting its stake in that refinery to 29 percent. "Our company is in an excellent position to continue adding value for our stockholders and helping to satisfy the energy needs of the world economies," Chevron Chairman David O'Reilly said.

I'd suggest that very few of Barry's "concepts" are all that deep, actually, when you look at them closely. Barry works very hard to make them *sound* deep, and because he has writerly skills, he often succeeds if you just read his posts superficially. They also look a lot more shallow when you realize how much inconsistency and illogic there is among these "deep" concepts. They don't stem from underlying principles, in other words; they are constructed opportunistically to fill the need of the moment. The need in question is usually to put somebody down and exalt himself, whatever the context. > But it is this very characteristic at honesty that sometimes gives > you away.

Words are more important to Barry than reality. If he can figure out a way to say something elegantly and forcefully, it doesn't *matter* to him whether it's true or not or even whether it makes any sense logically. He constructs his world with his writing, and whatever he writes *becomes* his reality. > But it is your inherent honesty that gives you away.

I think that's the real Barry trying to get out from under all the protective defense mechanisms and phoniness. On a conscious level, he doesn't give a fig about honesty, he cares only about making himself look good at that particular moment and in that particular context. > Ironically, I think you're lucky because unlike Stephen Glass whose > editors let him get away with it, you have a Judy Stein looking > over your shoulder virtually every crossed T and dotted I that you > write and she won't let you get away with anything. > > She keeps you kosher. Well, let's say that I try to see to it that the "Not kosher" label keeps getting applied when appropriate. Staying kosher is not a priority for Barry in any case.

Of those that I read, I do so because I admire your writing skills, particularly your ability to express the unique and interesting ways in which you view the world. You are also an "honest" writer. What I mean by that is your writing comes off as reflecting your inner thoughts very well; you're able to put into concrete words very abstract concepts that obviously exist on a deep level of your mind. Not many people can bring those out to the surface in such a clear, concise and oh-so- entertaining way. But it is this very characteristic at honesty that sometimes gives you away. What I mean by that is your tendency to embellish. When you are in the midst of expressing one of your wonderful thoughts or points, I suggest you will fill in a gap with an embellishment of the subject at hand. It becomes too convenient for you to perhaps squeeze in a made-up tidbit instead of doing otherwise. You fall into temptation...especially when the tidbit, completely under your control, can be shaped and formed exactly as you want it to be. But it is your inherent honesty that gives you away. Because when you do embellish, it is an obvious break from your normal train of "honest" writing; when it happens the "something is off" red light goes off quite easily and it then stands out like a sore thumb. Sometimes I don't think that's such a bad thing if it's innocent enough. No harm done if a minor embellishment makes your point flow better or is amusing to the reader. But I suggest that if the item is too important that sometimes it's also going to come back and bite you on the ass. I don't for a minute suggest you do it to the extent that the protagonist in the following movie does it, but Stephen Glass -- a reporter for "The New Republic" -- is portrayed so perfectly in the wonderful movie "Shattered Glass" (based on the true incidents surrounding his life at that magazine). At first, he took a few shortcuts in his reporting that no one noticed. So he kept doing it more and doing it more frequently in each article he wrote until, soon, he was writing complete articles out of whole cloth. Ironically, I think you're lucky because unlike Stephen Glass whose editors let him get away with it, you have a Judy Stein looking over your shoulder virtually every crossed T and dotted I that you write and she won't let you get away with anything.

Chlorophyll World famous nutritionists have long confirmed and recommended the nutritional value of Chlorophyll. Today, through hi-tech extraction processes scientists are not only able to extract concentrated Chlorophyll from Alfalfa leaves but also maintain the active enzymes and minerals for our nourishment and better health. The followings are scientific findings by three Nobel Pize recipients on Chlorophyll:In 1912, Dr. Alexis Carrel, stated that "Cells are immortal" His research shows the importance of cleansing off toxin in order to rejuvenate health. In 1915, Dr. Richard Willstatter discovered the chemical structure of Chlorophyll, a network of Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen and Oxygen atoms surrounding a single Magnesium atom. In 1930, Dr. Hans Fischer unraveled the chemical structure of Haemoglobin and was surprised to find out that it was almost the same as the chemical structure of Chlorophyll. K-Link UIE Liquid Chlorophyll is extracted from the plant alfalfa, known for its highly valued nutrients.The Chlorophyll in alfalfa contains antioxidants, which can help reduce free radicals in our body. Free radicals weaken our body, making us more susceptible to sickness. Free radicals are an active oxidized substance,generated by our own body through metabolism (breakdown of food and oxygen), that will destroy protein, lipid and DNA. It will affect normal cells to change and cause various diseases to the human body. Free radicals are major contributor to aging.

The K- liquid chlorophyll is derived from Alfaalfa leaves which are known for their high chlorophyll content. This tonic food inhibits bacterial growth, improves digestion, dental health, and prevents external and internal Infections.

They also mention that it facilitates milk production, something many women are still desirous of after pregnancy and may require the assistance of either a wetnurse or may choose to feed their newborn 'formula' instead. My questions to you are at what stage in her growth is the most opportune time for this chlorophyll to have its positive influence to facilitate milk production: before pregnancy, after pregnancy, during pregnancy, pubescence, pre-pubesence? In your work in developing countries, or in any basic necessities programs you know of in developing countries, are chlorophyll-rich foods emphasized as curative, remedial or milk enhancing for young families? Here are some notes on chlorophyll and its effect on milk production and other magnificent influences upon human evolution: Yoga gives great credence to chlorophyll and its influence upon the pineal gland, producer of serotonin and many other subtle mind chemicals that facilitate our evolution as humans. Take the opportunity to spend days, weeks drinking freshly juiced vegetables throughout your day, especially the yellow, green and blue ones, broad leafies such as collard greens, bundles of joy such as broccoli and squash. You can and will experience the difference chlorophyll will make. Vegetarians produce more lymph because they get chlorophyll from grass and other green vegetation, and that is why their brains are more developed than those of non-vegetarians. Those who consume animal protein [neglecting green vegetation] suffer from want of lymph because animal protein contains very little chlorophyll. Tigers and cats are carnivores, which is why they produce less milk. Cows and buffaloes produce much more milk because they take chlorophyll from green grass and green vegetation. Maximum lymph is produced from food which contains a lot of chlorophyll, such as green vegetables and especially the tips of the stems of creepers. Granivorous animals produce much milk, while carnivorous animals, such as dogs, give very little milk. Lymph is produced from animal protein also, but because animal protein produces a lot of heat in the human body, the lymph is quickly converted into semen. Monkeys and deer produce much lymph, but it is not

To a large extent the preliminary research on this was already started until the researcher who developed it was jailed by the FDA and all his books burned in the late 50's.

[FairfieldLife] Dead insects - in Coca Cola bottle
TOP STORIESApr 28, 2006Dead insects in bottle, Coca Cola fined Rs 1.2 lakhFriday April 28 2006 20:23 IST PTI NEW DELHI: In yet another eye-opener judgement, Coca Cola was on Friday ordered by a city consumer court to pay over Rs one lakh after a man found dead insects in an unopened bottle of Sprite advertised as the companys top product in the soft drink market.It seems that giant companies have only focussed their eyes on their one-point programme - make money. For that end they will even play with the publics health, district consumer redressal forum (North) comprising president K K Chopra and members R K Prabhakar and Neeru Mittal said.The complainant had registered the case against Coca Cola Company, Atlanta, USA; Hindustan Coca Cola Manufacturing Co Pvt Ltd; local manufacturer Moon Beverages Ltd and Suri Cold Drink, the retail outlet from which the complainant had purchased the contaminated drink.Directing Coca Cola and its three Ancilliaries to pay the damages jointly or severally, the forum directed them to pay Rs one lakh to the consumer legal aid fund here and Rs 20,000 towards the complainant towards mental agony caused to him.This judgement follows an earlier one by the same forum ordering identical compensation against soft drink major Pepsico after a consumer chanced upon a condom in a sealed Pepsi bottle.The complainant, Atul Khattar, a resident of Malka Ganj here, had on August 10, 2003, purchased the bottle from the outlet near Sarai Rohilla locality in the capital.Khattar, who then happened to take a glance at the sealed bottle, was shocked to find dead insects floating in the chilled fizz.Subsequently, Khatter filed a complaint with the district forum seeking over Rs five lakh damages for negligence and deficiency in service.In defence, Coca Cola categorically denied any liability towards the complainant claiming that the brand Sprite was not their product. The court effectively countered this argument by annexing as proof certified copies of prints taken from an authorised cola website advertising Sprite as a Youth Icon possessing a straightforward and honest attitude.It further warned Coca Cola of legal action regarding perjury for deliberately attempting to mislead the court by submitting false affidavits before it. Cola has avoided and denied in their affidavits aspects of manufacturing of the soft drink, and the filing of false affidavits before this forum makes it a clear-cut case of perjury, the court said.It brushed aside Colas contention that the bottle may have been manufactured by unscrupulous people bent on spoiling the companys reputation.Coca Cola is vicariously responsible for the spurious manufacturing of Sprite and cannot absolve itself from the prescribed standards of purity as per relevant law, the forum observed.It also directed the soft drink major to the complainant pay Rs 3,000 as litigation costs Yahoo!

[FairfieldLife] Condom and Dirt - Found in Pepsi bottle
TOP STORIESApr 28, 2006Click Home to get Latest EditionArchives Dated: 27 April 2006Condom in sealed bottle; Pepsi fined Rs 1 lakhThursday April 27 2006 00:00 IST PTI NEW DELHI: Soft drink giant Pepsi has been ordered to pay over Rs 1 lakh compensation by a city consumer court after a man found a condom inside a sealed bottle of the company.This case is an eye-opener for others who are engaged in manufacturing soft drinks and are required to maintain the prescribed standards of purity in public interest during the course of their business activities, consumer disputes redressal forum (north) comprising president KK Chopra and members RK Prabhakar and Neeru Mittal said.Terming the case rare with a serious bearing on the public health, the court directed Pepsico India Holdings Ltd to pay Rs 1 lakh towards the consumer legal aid fund and Rs 20,000 as damages to the complainant.Complainant Sudesh Sharma, a resident of Ujhani village here, had purchased two bottles of Pepsi from a retail shop near Kashmere Gate in the capital in year 2003.He started suffering from severe dyspepsia and headache, followed by insomnia, after drinking from one of the bottles. His condition worsened over a period of time and he had to seek medical treatment. Meanwhile, Sharma, on inspecting the bottle from which he had drunk, found dirt and other contaminants inside it.Even worse, Sharma was shocked to find a condom inside the other Pepsi bottle, which was still sealed.Staunchly denying any negligence on its part, Pepsi maintained in court that the bottles may have contained spurious products illegally marketed under its brand name.To this, the court held that the soft drink major had failed in its bounden duty towards its customers by not taking any deterrent action against such unscrupulous persons who pass off spurious products as Pepsis. Further, the court rejected as a lame excuse Pepsis objection that it could not be held liable in the case as it did not have any authorised dealers in the vicinity of Kashmere Gate.Dismissing Pepsis argument that Sharma had not submitted any proof of purchase of the bottles, the court observed that it was not a practice in the open market among shopkeepers to issue receipt or cash memo whenever a person purchased one or two bottles.The forum also directed the company to pay Rs 3,000 as litigation costs.

The disturbing thing to me is that the sceintists in AI who are *seriously* talking about robot species are not talking about initially uploading the entire consciousness of a human to the robot, but merely the instinctual, thinking mind. No higher intellect, no fine discriminating intellect (buddhi) and no conscience. At one of the first Mind and Life conferences the Dalai Lama stated that once some material matrix becomes available to hold consciousness, consciousness will be able to incarnate into this new species. And of course by the time we get to that stage, the ability to self- replicate, a relatively mechanical process, will have already been mastered. There are a number of yogis who have talked of future Buddhas who appear to be made of some silicon or crystalline material. We will already, quite soon, have computers the size of cells. Injectable.

It depends on the character of the Forum you interact with. In some mature forums, you can tell your identity. But in immature loony-bins like this one might feel squeamish about showing identity. A few Rabid dogs in this forum bit me severely. Surely can't trust anyone here and reveal one's identity.

[FairfieldLife] 'Awakening: The Modern Heresy'
AIA Home Reflections Metta's Reflections Awakening: The Modern Heresy There are many factors contributing to our inability to recognize our Original Nature and our own inherent state of Natural Awareness. Perhaps the greatest of these is our addiction to the process of searching for meaning and truth. In our modern Western culture, we have often cleverly cloaked and disguised this addiction with a rationalization that it is the journey, not the destination, that is important.While it is vitally important to recognize that: Reality is continuously manifesting through a dynamic and on-going process of unfolding, and in an Infinite universe, we may never actually arrive at a final destination or end point, ...we often lose sight of the inherent completeness and perfection of Reality, as it is, within the present moment, and we use the popular metaphor of a spiritual journey as a way of justifying our restless wandering and searching for an elusive and mysterious Essence that seems to be missing from our lives. By convincing ourselves that there is something noble and humble in never arriving at our spiritual destination, we rob ourselves of the opportunity to recognize our own essential and fundamental nature, and doom ourselves to living within a perpetual state of psychological and spiritual homelessness. In fact, I believe an assertion that one has experienced an Awakening or Realization has become the ultimate modern heresy, for this declaration challenges and sabotages the accepted, intellectual assumption that we must be forever journeying toward a distant and unreachable destination. In many Eastern religious traditions, however, there is a much greater willingness to accept the possibility that experiences of Awakening may actually be a legitimate insight into, or recognition of, the fundamental and essential nature of Reality. I have begun to suspect that, in most cases, this openness and willingness -- at least to consider the radical possibility we might one day awaken into a liberating recognition of our innate and Original Nature -- may be an essential precursor to the actual experience of Realization, itself. Without this willingness to accept the possibility that we might one day actually experience a stunning Realization of who and what we really are, we will be forever destined to wander in search of a Reality that, ironically, is inherent within the immediacy of the present moment.See also: Awareness and Consciousness Completeness and Perfection Present Moment Reality Realization and Insight Seeing Seeking ©1997-2000, Metta ZettyAll Rights Reserved.

The issue with regard to whether to bother to read 'anon' posters on FFL is, as far as I'm concerned, is based on past performance. If, after several months now, I realize that a particular poster has consistently wasted the time it took me to read his or her posts, then why bother to ever read them in the future? So far, with no exceptions, *all* of the people who have ever posted using one of the 'anon' accounts have fallen into the "complete waste of time" category, so in the Pissant Bin they go, and in the Pissant Bin they stay. It may actually be a facet of the desire to remain anonymous. If you're afraid of people in the TM movement knowing who you are when you post, how likely is it that what you say is worth reading, eh? You may notice, Shemp, that so far you haven't made it to the Pissant Bin. That's not because you don't meet the "insignificant" definition of 'pissant' -- most of the time you do. It's just that even though *most* of what you write is time-wasting, every so often you say something funny, and a good laugh is IMO never a waste of time. So you get the benefit of a doubt that the humorless pissants have not earned. :-) To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
