Re: [FairfieldLife] How wolves change rivers.
Nablusoss, thank you so much for posting this. I love wolves and rivers both so this was a treat for me first thing this morning. Plus I think the film could be a fantastic intro for someone just learning how ecosystems work, how all aspects of a place are interconnected and interdependent. And of course the icing on the cake is that the footage is beautiful too. Thanks again.

Walking my dog just now, I noticed a couple of band vans unloading outside Q-Bus, a rock/blues club near where I live. I've still never been there, its choice of talent not coinciding with me having a free evening, but I may have to drop by tonight. Who, after all, can resist a band that calls themselves The Dirty Daddies? http://thedirtydaddies.com/ http://thedirtydaddies.com/ :-)

[FairfieldLife] Happy Saturday
A penguin was driving in the hot desert in Arizona when his car broke down. The penguin thought, great, here I am in the middle of a desert, when I love the water. After a while the penguin had his car towed to a local town to get it fixed. Walking on the way to town, he saw a sign that said ice cold ice cream for sale. The penguin thought, Oh great this is exactly what I need, found the shop, and ordered a giant tub of vanilla ice cream, and made a huge mess, and got it all over his face. When the penguin finally got into town and asked the mechanic what was wrong with his car, the mechanic said, You blew a seal. The penguin, startled, said No I didn't! I just stopped for ice cream.”
Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Empathy versus cruelty
Oh, it is definitely a plague of near infinite proportions, TMers or not. But, to mix metaphors, there are definitely cracks in the wall these days, allowing people to find liberation, partial or total, more easily. I remember (squints eyes, strokes chin) when the equivalent of the Internet, was my family's used 1964 Encyclopedia Britannica (which remained current for at least a decade). It is getting harder to keep the eyes closed.

[FairfieldLife] RE: The UN, UNICEF, DLF and TM...
So the American Heart Association's endorsement of TM as the only meditation/relaxation practice that they currently recommend for the clinical treatment of hypertension isn't evidence-based? The stunning results of the African PTSD studies that were just released aren't evidence that TM has some effect (pending better controls and head-to-head studies to be sure just how effective TM is relative to other things)? And prayer is an interesting thing. According to the Yoga Sutras, any attractive object of attention can be used as an ishtavadeva,' which is often translated as personal deity. during dhyan practice, But, if you look at the meaning of the words, you get an entirely different interpretation. Deva literally means 'shining one.' Maharishi defines deva as a fundamental vibration of consciousness. Ishtava literally means cherished. So... from Maharishi's perspective, dhyan (TM) is not praying to gods, but using a cherished fundamental vibration of consciousness to take advantage of the tendency of the mind to wander in the direction of more pleasing objects of attention and allow the mind to settle down (the very definition of yoga -subsidence of mind-fluctuations). In no common interpretation of the word prayer, is the above a form of prayer. Even the new agey listening to spirits doesn't work here, as the deepest point of TM is complete and utter silence with NO communication possible as the activity of the brain doesn't support that kind of thing during pure consciousness.
[FairfieldLife] Review: The Last Days On Mars
Pretty good science fiction movie made on a fairly low budget but looking better than many big-budget scifi flicks. It's by a first-time Irish writer-director who doesn't feel like a first-timer, and the result is pretty tight, well-done hard science fiction. A crew of astronauts exploring Mars are down to the last day of their six-month mission when they stumble upon signs of life. Unfortunately, that life is bacterial and infects humans, so this isn't quite the find they hoped it would be. The excellent cast -- including Liev Schreiber, Elias Koteas, Romola Garai, and Olivia Williams.-- makes the story of what they do about all of this fairly taut and suspenseful. http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi1046194457/ http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi1046194457/
Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Ukraine?
When Maharishi in 1991 wanted us to go to Crimea and teach, one anxious soul asked Him: What will it be like (none of us had ever been across the iron-curtain before.) He said: More silence. And boy was he right; a population steeped in silence and longing for more. I've taught TM more or less all over the planet but never had 250 people come to a intro-lecture in a small town where we could not put an ad in the paper or even print a poster; (it's a long story but true) they all turned up from word of mouth.

[FairfieldLife] RE: Moral Behavior and TM
Thanks Feste37, That is high praise coming from you and I appreciate that. A challenge here for TM is that while we have had a large movement of good-hearted practitioner meditators we evidently have also had an unethical managerial class long exercising power over the the culture of the organization and its meditator practitioners. As a lack of virtuous ethical standard became apparent a lot of meditators of the meditating movement over time have simply melted away their support. Our lack in effectiveness as an organization quietly became about the lack of ethic in management as then what was a large meditating movement walked away. This same kind of lack in virtue of ethics is now being discovered in the officer corps and culture of the U.S. military right now and it is actively being looked so at as to figure out why and what to do about it. Lessons to be had about effectiveness. To my eye that couple in TM India who are bringing sexual misconduct charges against Girish Varma have quite a lot of courage blowing the whistle within the TM world that they live in against a guy who is quite large in primal control and power force as his own autocratic element in the larger TM organization these meditators have been dedicated to. A reason that this Indian couple can challenge the horrific behaviour is the larger ethical context of Indian civil society around the gang rapes and the laws and commissions set up to assert ethical standard of rights of . If there is a standard articulated you got a metric to work off of. The couple has larger ethical standards articulated in the civil code that gives them cover. It will be relevant to watch how the US military as an organization re-fits its own ethical culture as we all figure out what to do with TM.org. See this NPR report that frames the ethical problem they have in the ethics of organizational culture within the military.

My feeling in watching is that a lot of the bad behavior that MJ in writing here for instance is so upset about in the TM community movement comes from bad upbringing and does not have so much of anything to do with whether some one meditates. It's mostly bad manners without virtue. Evidently. That's what I see, they are just being bad people for their poor upbringings and sometimes they are even immoral. Okay, that can be really bad at times on the part of some but not the normative of most folks. Just really bad upbringing. The whole point to many of my posts here is that TM does not work as you claim it works. The WHOLE FUCKING POINT to TM all these years is that TM IMPROVES EVERYTHING! That is the claim made for it. That's the whole point to doing TM, improving your life. If one has bad upbringing, then TM can make you a better person. Why do you think the David Lynch leeches are pushing so hard to

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Moral Behavior and TM
I absolutely agree with your first paragraph - yet you still refuse to answer a very simple question. If TM and TMSP are as effective as you say they are and as effective as the TMO claims it is - with no negative side effects, no down side whatsoever, how then can such unethical behavior come from people who have been doing the practices regularly for decades? If TM and TMSP are as billed, those behaviors should have vanished long ago or never manifested in the first place. Yet we see a pervasive and decades long lack of virtuous ethical standard And such lack of ethics all started with your much vaunted Maharishi.

[FairfieldLife] Space Brothers anime (review)
OK, as everyone likely already knows, I'm into watching Japanese animation (anime). Recently, I started watching The Space Brothers, which turns out to be an excellent, mainstream, adult (as in not meant for 5-year-olds) science fiction story reminiscent of Heinlein's juvenile scifi, which many adults still enjoy reading. The story tracks two brothers from Japan who made a pact when they were kids to become astronauts. The younger brother has already been accepted at NASA and (the story is laid in 2025) will be the first Japanese citizen to set foot on the Moon, when a permanent facility is set up. His older brother was recently fired from his job as an award-winning automative mechanic, and through the machinations of his family, ended up being accepted for testing to become a JAXA (Japanese Aerospace eXploration Agency) astronaut. The series is at episode 85 (I believe the manga is much further along) and the first 20 episodes I have watched have been the trials and tribulations of the older brother's attempts to make it through the preliminary testing in Japan before heading to the US for training at NASA. We occasionally get scenes of his younger brother and fellow astronauts, training to prepare to create the first permanent facility on the Moon. The story-lines converge as the older brother passes (barely) the preliminary testing, and heads to the USA for final evaluation before acceptance at NASA. It's actually a very nice story, and the writer obviously put a lot of thought into themes, characters, background, and extrapolating where NASA and Japan itself, might be in 2025 with respect to space exploration. Worth watching if you like that kind of thing, and don't mind subtitles. I haven't seen a dubbed version, and generally (with a few exceptions) American voice actors and their directors haven't a clue how to do a decent job of dubbing anime.

[FairfieldLife] RE: Happy Saturday
Doc, That was a good one. Also, I'd like to say that many years ago, I was driving through a desert town in Arizona, called Wikeup. And, one of the tires on my car blew out because of the heat. Luckily, a passing truck driver helped me put on my spare tire, which got me to the closest big town in Kingman, AZ. That experience taught me a lesson: never use retreaded tires when crossing a desert in Arizona in the middle of summer.

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Ukraine?
Thanks Share ! Lenz, oh dear. Some people just make an impression don't they. According to the Master of Mr. Benjamin Crème, who generously supplied this information, Frederic Lenz had a point of evolution at the time of death of 1,30. That's pretty good actually since the majority of humanity has not done the first Initiation. That's why Godhead sometimes send messengerboys, like Beethoven, Maharishi, Jesus, Zarathustra and Leonardo to hint to something we might have forgotten; we can, and must curve back to our own nature.

But it has also made what was the Netflix throttling discussions go from geek and home theater enthusiast sites to mainstream America. Lots of people are annoyed now with see rebuffering and low resolution displays when they should be getting HD. Probably time to create a national front for change to take away the telecom monopolies. In my native state of Washington dusty ol' Ephrata, a town of around 6000 has very fast Internet comparable to Google fiber. Thing is this was part of a program that was put into effect some 15 years ago by the Washington Public Utilities Department. Interesting thing is after municipal fiber was put in the then Democrat governor came out against it. That's the problem: these monopolist telecoms get their state assembly leaders to implement laws against municipal fiber.

[FairfieldLife] RE: Most relaxing tune ever recorded?
Hard to tell. The study was done with 40 women. The repetitive deep bass drum sound shook the room when I started this, that is not a good start. If you have tiny speakers it might be OK, but mine were equalised with an instrumentation microphone and digital frequency readouts. Forty participants makes this a cohort study, that is a sample size too small to really come to a conclusion. That it did not include men makes it doubly dubious, and the volume level it was played to the women with is not mentioned. There are lots of amorphous musical structures in slow New Age type of music that can be relaxing. Massage therapists tend to use this kind of music (mine likes Deva Primal). The 60 pulses per minute basic 'beat' seems to have been established by a number of researchers. I find I can relax to more active music sometimes. http://youtu.be/mrGXvO6TnFs http://youtu.be/mrGXvO6TnFs The conductor of this piece Reinhard Goebel was one of the world's great Baroque violinists until he developed a distonia, a neuromuscular disorder in his left hand. He switched to playing the violin left handed for a number of years, which meant practicing to learn the violin again with hands switched, and stringing switched backwards on the violin, but eventually he had to give up playing. Now he conducts. The music is by C.P.E Bach, the second oldest son of J.S.Bach. For a number of years C.P.E. Bach was the keyboardist for Frederik the Great (who was a superb flute player and composer). C.P.E. Bach was a great influence on Beethoven. In a letter he wrote to Voltaire, Frederick said 'I think it better to keep a profound silence with regard to the Christian fables, which are canonized by their antiquity and the credulity of absurd and insipid people'. He also wrote: 'I feel the deepest veneration for the divine being, and therefore I am careful not to attribute to him unjust, fickle behavior, which would be condemned by the meanest mortal. Because of that, dear sister, I prefer not to believe that the almighty, benevolent being is at all concerned with human affairs. Rather I do attribute everything that happens to the living beings and certain effects of incalculable causes and I silently bow down before this being which is worthy of adoration, by admitting my ignorance concerning his ways, which his godly wisdom chose not to reveal.

And yesterday afternoon I listened to an interview with a Ukrainian woman who spelled out exactly what is going. Like I said folks are broke their and can't afford food. That is a surefire formula for upheaval. The fear is that any US intervention might result in WWIII. Is that what MMY wanted?

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Ukraine?
Nablusoss, it's a fascinating list. Picasso higher than Renoir?! Hitler and Stalin higher than CS Lewis?! Mary magdelene lower than Pilate and judas?! is Maharishi on the list?

According to the Master of Mr. Benjamin Crème, who generously supplied this information, Frederic Lenz had a point of evolution at the time of death of 1,30. That's pretty good actually since the majority of humanity has not done the first Initiation. That's why Godhead sometimes send messengerboys, like Beethoven, Maharishi, Jesus, Zarathustra and Leonardo to hint to something we might have forgotten; we can, and must curve back to our own nature. Regarding the list itself; please study it yourself: http://www.share-berlin.de/list_of_initiates.htm#LinkR

I got my only speeding ticket in AZ, really close to where you mention. They were letting the trucks go, and catching them outside Kingman, instead. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, jr_esq@... wrote: Doc, That was a good one. Also, I'd like to say that many years ago, I was driving through a desert town in Arizona, called Wikeup. And, one of the tires on my car blew out because of the heat. Luckily, a passing truck driver helped me put on my spare tire, which got me to the closest big town in Kingman, AZ. That experience taught me a lesson: never use retreaded tires when crossing a desert in Arizona in the middle of summer.

Onward and upward! The closer you are, the faster you go. Once the identity gains universal status, the avenues for growth almost lose their singularity, and then, things *really* begin to take off. JGD - Sincerely, Doctor Dumbass ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, no_re...@yahoogroups.com wrote: This is one of the only personal posts you've ever made It's the second. The first was years ago when I naively described an experience of unity consciousness here. Whereupon the Turq et.al gave me a smacking I'll never forget. From then on I decided this is not the place for posting anything really personal. DrDumbass has later proved me wrong, some of his posts are amongst the most straightforward odesseys into the realm of higher states of consciousness ever written. Why do I mostly post links about our Space Brothers and the how Maharishi's predictions slowly come through ? Because we are witnessing a tremendous shift in world consciousness. A shift humanity has not seen for thousand and thousands of years, one in which we are standing with both feet, one which is unfolding before our very eyes. A transformation You, I and humanity owe to the only living Master we ever met and whose one-pointed dedication to a better world made possible.

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Ukraine?
Indeed very fascinating. You might recall that Winston Churchill and Willy Brandt score high up there, both almost 3,0, which in my interpretation of things 3,0 is CC, and both alcoholics. Do study the list further. What I do find however that at least to me it all makes sense in the only fields I can comment which is music, (there are but no photographers on the list, but this will change shortly). How does it resonate with you and your ears when the Master of Benjamin Crème distinguish composers and performing artists thus: Elivis: 0,8 Louis Armstrong: 0.6 Arleen Auger: 1,30 JS Bach: 3,10 Bela Bartok: 1,80 Leonard Bernstein: 1,60 Hildegard Von Bingen: 1,47 Ernest Bloch: 1,70 Johannes Brahms: 2,40 Bing Crosby:1,40 Ludvig Van Beethoven: 3,10 Jimi Hendrix: 1,30 Maurice Ravel: 2,00 and so on. When you listen to this music created by the above mentioned, does it fit ? In my humble opinion it most certainly does, but your experience may vary. Do enjoy !

Jez, sometimes you just want to act difficult Turq. Masters are Masters of their own destiny, not yours. That's an accomplishment that takes quite a lot of Sadhana to attain, the beginning stages of Masterhood is Unity Consciousness.
[FairfieldLife] Deification and the Uncreated Engergies of God
DEIFICATION IS POSSIBLE THROUGH THE UNCREATED ENERGIES OF GOD Eastern Orthodox Christian theology has been very clear for about 1500+ years that God's essence is transcendent yet manifests uncreated energies/acts. Eastern Orthodoxy teaches that “What God is by nature, humans become by grace.” This is the meaning of the term theosis (deification) – which is declared the true purpose of human life. However, even more provocative is their assertion that God transcends essence (hyperousia). http://www.greekorthodoxchurch.org/theosis_how.html http://www.greekorthodoxchurch.org/theosis_how.html http://www.greekorthodoxchurch.org/theosis_how.html http://www.greekorthodoxchurch.org/theosis_how.html

You are quite correct. Even though Bevan is not an American he has blessed your soil for so many decades. I this age it is very rare indeed to see a man put forward such a strong application for Masterhood as we have seen in the example of Bevan.
Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Ukraine?
US intervention ? From what fantasy did you cook up this silly possibility ? What's finally happening in Ukraine is the result of the third law of thermodynamics and the patient effortless influence of thousands of Sidhas and the Will of God.
Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Ukraine?
Maharishi's wish, the patient efforts of thousands of Sidhas, the result of decades of collective prayers together becomes the Will of God. This is the Science and Technology of Consciousness, whereby man can rule the world. Our children will be the rulers of the world; their consciousness will be Brahm, Totality.
