Not likely, but why pray? How is that going to change the situation as you 
perceive it? I do have a certain tolerance for Jim; unlike Barry, I do read 
some of his posts, though their usual brevity and emotional coarseness is a 
turn off. (Barry's emotional coarseness is also sometimes a turn off, but I do 
not perceive him to have a genuine attachment to it, so mostly it is just fun.) 
Compassion for Jim is not necessary, he is enlightened by his own account, 
therefore not in need of it. 


What he seems "in need of" is someone to obsess on. Namely me. 


I wrote him off and deprived him of an audience when he feels like yelling at 
someone and telling them how low they are and how high he is. Rather than live 
with that, I guess what Xeno is saying is that Jim keeps writing posts about 
how much he hates Barry *anyway*. 


If that's your idea of what enlightenment is, I wish you luck with it. To me, 
it makes it sound as if Jim is just another version of Steve and Ann and 
Willytex. Ignore any of them, and they obsess on you *more*, not less.

I am probably more of a fatalist than a cynic. I am more of a sceptic than a

 I think people are motivated by those forces we call laws of nature, and that 
there is not a real entity in there performing the action. Rather there is an 
elegant machine with inputs and outputs, and getting the mind of the machine, 
the processes of the machine to realise it is a machine is of paramount 
importance for its happiness, satisfaction, and contentment; and from this 
arises tolerance, compassion, understanding, and with some machines, even 
sympathy. 
 

 Ouch, I hadn't meat robot in some time, and here you are bringing it up.
 

 Oh well.
 

 If one is laid back enough, tolerance is a given. Compassion is recognising a 
situation for what it is so one can focus on the best possible resolution of 
difficulties so that the experience of what is, at the very least, most real, 
opens into experience; this does not necessarily imply any sympathy if it 
prolongs inconsonate, conditioned behaviour. Understanding requires some input, 
and there are certain situations where understanding simply cannot be 
assimilated so one must act in a more cursory fashion, and with probably less 
satisfactory results.
 

 There are many things I do not understand; the world is wide and vast beyond 
the grasp of the human intellect except in bits and pieces one at a time. If I 
have no heart, this is the way nature made my mind; you will need the tolerance 
to accept that for it is not in the power of a fictional entity to change the 
machine.
 

 People assume TM will change all these things, but in practice this does not 
seem to be the case most of the time, people remain more or less the same. 
Enlightenment is not about change. It is about what is always the same. 
Enlightenment does not change these things. Behaviour modification might, but 
this often does not come about by an act of will but by outside imposition, 
such as provided by being surrounded by the mores of an organisation or 
community; and often here, it is just token acceptance, not an actual change. 
 

 The reason you have all these so-called moral rules in religion, is faith, 
belief, and even technical practice — ritual, spiritual techniques — does not 
much alter human nature. Prison tends not to alter human behaviour, and social 
conventions form a psychological prison that has much the same effectiveness — 
that is, practically none, for if the stops are removed, all hell breaks loose.
 

 So if a person is to be 'good', then probably that body has to be born that 
way and will flow naturally along those lines of behaviour; and those that are 
not, well, we see them everyday. Rotten thoughts come from the source of 
thought, whatever that may be, just as easily as 'good' thoughts. The TMO 
simply removes those from the roster who fail to conform to the allegedly 
predicted results of meditation, and hopes nobody notices the change. The 
higher up in the organisation though, persistence rather than removal seems to 
be the rule.
 

 Would another, deeper awakening result in a looser, more compassionate 
emotional tenancy for 'me'? It might or it might not; I have no idea; I do not 
know what remains of and for my life, I just know it goes forward and it has 
been satisfactory for some time. It is now time for me to sit very quietly for 
awhile. I do this from habit and it seems to correlate with what I would call 
improvements in my grasp of life, but from this point on, as it has been for 
the last decade or so, how that might or might not unfold is a complete mystery

 I don't know what Barry does when he is alone, but he is living with others 
according to his own account, so how much aloneness he experiences seems a bit 
difficult to determine from across the pond; how much he drinks is also 
difficult to determine. He posted a photo of a glass of red wine, shot in a 
garden once, in the evening, next to his laptop. Kind of hard to avoid that if 
you live in France for a while.
 

 I don't feel hurt or bitter, and I cannot tell if Barry has such emotions, for 
as a writer, he assumes various points of view, not necessarily what he is 
himself experiencing, so I am always curious how you determine these 
characterisations. He tried TM, and followed Lenz for a while. I suspect he 
learned something from those experiences. For myself, I did try TM; it worked 
quite well for some four decades plus though it seems a little frayed now; 
mindfulness works better now, which it did not in the beginning, but I learned 
mindfulness first, a long time ago. Not-doing now is a breeze. I tend not to 
follow spiritual teachers; I mine them for the information I desire. Spiritual 
teachers are a quirky lot. As just about everyone seems to have some screws 
loose before they get into spiritual concerns, I always wonder how much of that 
remains once they have been immersed in the spiritual quest for a time, and 
that goes for the 'masters' too. As we are part of that group that are, or were 
seekers, I suspect none of us are free of some individual quirks that might 
annoy others. A certain kind of luck is required because until a certain point, 
you cannot tell if a spiritual teacher is just screwing you over or giving you 
truly good advice, so going down blind alleys is always a potential result. 
 

 I am pretty sure Barry thinks you are self-deluded about your alleged 
enlightenment, probably on the basis you promote it over much, but also he does 
not seem to consider what is generally called enlightenment here on FFL 
significant compared to other possible experiences. That is not my view, but 
then I have never met anyone who does have my view, other people think 
different things. Curious isn't that? For my part, based on what you have said, 
I think you had some sort of experience, epiphany, or awakening, but your 
descriptions of the result leave me in doubt because they seem to lack certain 
details, and you did not seem to grasp concepts found in Vedanta at all, even 
though this is way of looking at enlightenment is directly involved with 
Shankara, and Maharishi certainly seemed aware of it, though he did not seem to 
talk about it extensively. The concepts are not 'the truth' of course but you 
should be able to manipulate and explain the principles. I suppose I find your 
statements lack a certain precision, because I like precision, and that does 
not seem to be your way of expressing yourself. You tend, from my point of 
view, to block things out in broad strokes.
 

 I sometimes drink beer and watch TV alone, but usually I drink tea or coffee 
or a soda, and usually I watch TV with someone else unless the content strains 
their sensibilities, as quite a few meditators seem to have difficulty with 
certain kinds of images, either by inclination, or by having been programmed by 
others to avoid such because it is not 'evolutionary'. 
 

 It doesn't take a Sherlock to be able to figure out how bawee spends his time 
- he tells us in almost every post. He also tells us what he believes, what he 
is feeling and not only that, he tells us what we should believe and what we 
should be feeling. It is right there Xeno, in black and white. bawee is no 
mystery nor does he choose to make his daily rituals and habits some sort of 
enigma.  How you think it all adds up to equate to the kind of person you seem 
to think he is varies from what some others sum it all up to indicate. I am not 
sure why you feel you need to explain or defend him. Maybe you feel bad for the 
guy or maybe you just like to provide an alternate viewpoint.
 

 As far as Mac goes I have no idea how to categorize someone as enlightened or 
not or whether how they describe it fills the bill (hey empty). It makes 
absolutely zero difference to me whether someone is enlightened or not. I hung 
around someone I believed to be enlightened for a while and it ended rather 
badly. Once bitten, twice shy or so someone  supposedly said. So, while I don't 
give a rat's ass about surrounding myself with enlightened people or reading 
about them I simply go by what a person does and says and how they interact 
with me and the world. Mac, to me, is a well-rounded, intelligent and 
interesting guy who doesn't suffer fools very well. I can relate to much of 
what he says here. All that is just fine and dandy with me. If he is 
enlightened on top of all that, then consider it the cherry.

"On January 19, 2012, I learned for the first time that Stephen had been living 
a secret life," she declared in the official documents, obtained by PEOPLE. "In 
the presence of his therapist, Stephen admitted that he had engaged in a long

three young girls over a decade ago." She goes on to say that she believes 
Collins has "narcissistic personality disorder with sociopathic tendencies."

Hey Michael, best you just remain with whatever narrative suits your purposes. 

 But here is a clue.
 

 If you there happens to be something in you, (meaning "you" in the larger 
context) that expresses itself as a seeker, then you realize early on, there is 
heavy lifting ahead.
 

 No other way around it.  
 

 Since you evidently know what kind of TM instructor I was, I need not 
elaborate on that point.
 

 Okay, one other clue, (not that it will make any difference), but if you've 
embarked on a path, and it wasn't what you envisioned, then it's a good idea to 
"cut your losses", and move on.
 

 I dare say that is good advice for financial investments that don't work out, 
personal relationships that don't work out, or a spiritual path that didn't 
work out.
 

 To continue to pour emotional or psychic energy into something you feel has 
failed you, doesn't make a lot of sense.
 

 But maybe that's just me.

[FairfieldLife] Collin's Behavior

[Michael Jackson mjackso...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

For decades Collin's has done TMSP and his wife says:

Stephen Collins' Ex-Wife Claimed He Has 'Sociopathic Tendencies'
 
10/07/2014 AT 07:55 PM EDT 
In a statement, Grant says she had nothing to do with its release. 

"I woke up today to learn that an extremely private recording I 
handed over to the authorities in 2012 per their request in connection 
with a criminal investigation was recently disseminated to the press," 
Grant said. "I had no involvement whatsoever with the release of the 
tape to the media." 

According to court documents filed in November 2013, Grant first
 discovered Collins's disturbing secret in 2012, while the two were 
still married. 

"On January 19, 2012, I learned for the first time that Stephen 
had been living a secret life," she declared in the official documents, 
obtained by PEOPLE. "In the presence of his therapist, Stephen admitted 
that he had engaged in a long term pattern of sexually abusing minor 
children, including sexually molesting three young girls over a decade 
ago." She goes on to say that she believes Collins has "narcissistic 
personality disorder with sociopathic tendencies." 



So go ahead Stevie, you who claim you don't do TM much anymore, go ahead - 
avoid, deny, defend and ignore - you learned all these behaviors very well at 
Marshy, King Tony, Bevan and Hagelin's knee. Go ahead, be a Bevan baby.

TM develops perfection in people, and if it doesn't develop perfection, then at 
least it removes some of our most blatant flaws.

What kind of initiator were you? A COMPLETE blind idiot? That IS what the TMO 
has ALWAYS claimed of TM - so did your much vaunted fake master, Marshy!

Stephen Collins is a pedophile with a "long term pattern of sexually molesting

In the 2014 divorce docs -- obtained by TMZ -- Faye Grant claims Collins 
"admitted that he had sexually molested 3 underage girls over a decade ago:  At 
least two of these girls were molested over the course of several years."

Grant says in a declaration, she is "sickened by Stephen's actions."  She says, 
"I have urged Stephen multiple times to seek treatment for pedophilia, but "he 
has refused to seek proper help or hospitalization for the predilection toward 
children."

 

 I guess Stephen decide to rely instead on his TMSP practice, yagyas and maybe

Why a person feels the need to belittle others for their beliefs is what I find 
odd. 

 Someone like Barry will say, believers in God deserve this because of blah, 
blah, blah.
 

 Well, time on earth is a testing ground.  We get it wrong a lot, but hopefully 
we move ahead.  And people who feel the need to lord over others do not advance 
that purpose.
 

 It really only serves to hi-light their own pettiness.
 

---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,  wrote :

 Belief is a thought, that moves us through the gap, from one experience of a 
subject, to another. For example, we believe the earth is round. This belief 
remains in place, and helps our world make sense, though there are few times, 
when we actually observe the curvature of our planet.
 

 So it is, with a strong belief in God. Often it becomes the belief in God, 
that is pursued, instead of a close, immediate, ongoing relationship with Him 
and Her. I cannot honestly say that I believe in God, yet He and She make their 
presence known to me, moment to moment, and the relationship is always vital 
and alive. 
 

 I did not think up God on my own, just as I would not know how to write, or 
speak, or drive a car, or try to treat people well. It was taught, this idea of 
God - many different aspects, over a lifetime. Running the spectrum, from 
static definitions, with no direct contact; a remote, authoritarian God, to a 
universe brimming with God, in all of Her and His creativity, endless 
expansion, and love. A creation that brings so many aspects, so many dynamics, 
of God to light, that it makes belief in God, irrelevant. Like believing in air 
and sunlight.
 

 
 So, Barry, I too, do not believe in God, but only one of us is richer for 
it.:-)

According to King Tony, the planets are part of our physiology which are 
located in our brain. 

 MMY mentioned that the planets are the impulses of intelligence.  As such, a 
part of us has a Martian quality.  So, depending on the situation, the Martian 
impulse becomes more prominent in our mind and physiology--such as playing in a 
competitive sport, or running to exercise the body.

 From my experience, everyone--perhaps, more so for males--can see Urvasi

 I enjoyed that moment in the movie Contact where the first TV signal that 
aliens would have received from Earth was Hitler's speech at the 1936 Olympics. 
The idea has since been dismissed by scientists as it seems that the 
transmission signal was very low powered so is unlikely to be picked out 
amongst all the background radiation in space.
 But what will their first Earth TV signal be? I Love Lucy? Baywatch? American 
Idol? 
 Perhaps the best hope is that it's some global warming/ecological doom-laden

our dying planet.

Did you read the article? The medical profession has always claimed that once 
the heart stops beating then brain shutdown follows almost immediately. This 
new evidence shows that consciousness continues for longer than previously 
thought. Our knowledge of this grey area has therefore been increased and our 
new understanding is, at the very least, suggestive. 

 I recollect that readings from The Tibetan Book of the Dead are continued for 
*49* days after someone dies to offer encouragement during the "transition". Do 
those inscrutable Tibetans know something we don't?

I don't know what Barry does when he is alone, but he is living with others 
according to his own account, so how much aloneness he experiences seems a bit 
difficult to determine from across the pond; how much he drinks is also 
difficult to determine. He posted a photo of a glass of red wine, shot in a 
garden once, in the evening, next to his laptop. Kind of hard to avoid that if 
you live in France for a while.

I don't feel hurt or bitter, and I cannot tell if Barry has such emotions, for 
as a writer, he assumes various points of view, not necessarily what he is 
himself experiencing, so I am always curious how you determine these 
characterisations. He tried TM, and followed Lenz for a while. I suspect he 
learned something from those experiences. For myself, I did try TM; it worked 
quite well for some four decades plus though it seems a little frayed now; 
mindfulness works better now, which it did not in the beginning, but I learned 
mindfulness first, a long time ago. Not-doing now is a breeze. I tend not to 
follow spiritual teachers; I mine them for the information I desire. Spiritual 
teachers are a quirky lot. As just about everyone seems to have some screws 
loose before they get into spiritual concerns, I always wonder how much of that 
remains once they have been immersed in the spiritual quest for a time, and 
that goes for the 'masters' too. As we are part
 of that group that are, or were seekers, I suspect none of us are free of some 
individual quirks that might annoy others. A certain kind of luck is required 
because until a certain point, you cannot tell if a spiritual teacher is just 
screwing you over or giving you truly good advice, so going down blind alleys 
is always a potential result. 

I am pretty sure Barry thinks you are self-deluded about your alleged 
enlightenment, probably on the basis you promote it over much, but also he does 
not seem to consider what is generally called enlightenment here on FFL 
significant compared to other possible experiences. That is not my view, but 
then I have never met anyone who does have my view, other people think 
different things. Curious isn't that? For my part, based on what you have said, 
I think you had some sort of experience, epiphany, or awakening, but your 
descriptions of the result leave me in doubt because they seem to lack certain 
details, and you did not seem to grasp concepts found in Vedanta at all, even 
though this is way of looking at enlightenment is directly involved with 
Shankara, and Maharishi certainly seemed aware of it, though he did not seem to 
talk about it extensively. The concepts are not 'the truth' of course but you 
should be able to manipulate and explain the principles.
 I suppose I find your statements lack a certain precision, because I like 
precision, and that does not seem to be your way of expressing yourself. You 
tend, from my point of view, to block things out in broad strokes.

I sometimes drink beer and watch TV alone, but usually I drink tea or coffee or 
a soda, and usually I watch TV with someone else unless the content strains 
their sensibilities, as quite a few meditators seem to have difficulty with 
certain kinds of images, either by inclination, or by having been programmed by 
others to avoid such because it is not 'evolutionary'.

[Michael Jackson mjackso...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

Stephen Collins is a pedophile with a "long term pattern of sexually molesting 
children" ... this according to Collins' wife.

In the 2014 divorce docs -- obtained by TMZ -- Faye Grant claims Collins 
"admitted that he had sexually molested 3 underage girls over a decade ago:  At 
least two of these girls were molested over the 
course of several years."

Grant says in a declaration, she is 
"sickened by Stephen's actions."  She says, "I have urged Stephen 
multiple times to seek treatment for pedophilia, but "he has refused to 
seek proper help or hospitalization for the predilection toward 
children."


I guess Stephen decide to rely instead on his TMSP practice, yagyas and maybe 
some gem stones and suchlike.

In all honesty, you have never presented a very high bar for comparison, Barry. 
I mean, come on, drinking beer and watching TV, alone? Punctuated by regular 
screeds on how screwed up the rest of us are. 
 

 Hardly what I would call a raging success, on your part, after following 
spiritual teachers for decades. No wonder you sound hurt, and bitter. 
 

 Try TM. It works.

Television, in general, is fine, if I have nothing better to do, or am simply 
exhausted. I cannot immerse myself in it, though, as some do, since there is 
often something real I would rather do. Didn't really watch the tube until I 
was in my twenties, and even now, it is a sporadic activity, at best.  I saw an 
awesome documentary a few nights ago, comparing the actual Von Trapp story, 
with the movie, The Sound Of Music, incorporating a recent stage production of 
the musical, in Austria. Fascinating, and yes, Maria Von Trapp, was nothing 
like Julie Andrews.

 As Steve pointed out, he does have some hallmarks of a 
'classical theist', but he also has some characteristics of 
'classical atheist'.  IMO a contradiction.

Basicaly, there are two types of theism, ie 'classical theism' 
and 'religious theism'.

Basicaly, there are two types of atheism, ie 'classical 
atheism' and 'scientific atheism'.

The 'classical atheism' is based on the following arguments,

Theoretical argument :- The arguments against the existence 
of gods, responding to common theistic arguments such as the 
argument from design or Pascal's Wager.

Epistemological argument :- Divinity is inseparable from the 
world itself, including a person's mind, and each person's 
consciousness is locked in the subject, this limitation in 
perspective prevents any objective inference from belief in 
a god to assertions of its existence.

Metaphysical argument :-  The implicit denial of God in all 
philosophies that, while they accept the existence of an 
absolute, conceive of the absolute as not possessing any of 
the attributes proper to God.

Logical argument :- The various conceptions of gods, such as 
the personal god of Christianity, are ascribed logically 
inconsistent qualities.

 We've seen all of David Lynch's TV shows and all his movies and read his book 
several times. Lynch is one of the most creative visual artists on the entire 
planet. 
 
 According to what I've read, Lynch has received three Academy Award 
nominations for Best Director and a nomination for best screenplay; won 
France's César Award for Best Foreign Film twice; as well as the Palme d'Or at 
the Cannes Film Festival; and a Golden Lion award for lifetime achievement at

 David Lynch is a remarkable man - creative, sensitive, unique. I just don't

Name scrubbed from TM website in 3... 2... 1...


He's probably being courted by the same publisher as Dr. Harold 
Bloomfield, former TM author and poster boy, former candidate for 
Governor of California on the Natural Law Party ticket. Of course, 
this was all before 2002, when he plead guilty to seven counts of 
unlawful drugging and three counts of sexual battery after he 
allegedly drugged and fondled four female patients who came to his 
home for counseling.


Having agreed to cease practicing medicine as part of a plea agreement 
in return for prosecutors dropping several other charges, Dr. 
Bloomfield seems to have stayed an author and New Age seminar leader. 
His newest book is appropriately titled "Making Peace With Your Past."


No trace of him can be found on http://www.tm.org 
, whereas at this point at least one reference to 
Stephen Collins can still be found at the link below.  As Alex 
suggests, I think someone should check back to see *exactly* how long 
it takes them to remove him.

all that he knew. The revealing is done by the commentators, who know 
nothing.


ROMANCE, n. Fiction that owes no allegiance to the God of Things as 
They Are.


SACRED, adj. Dedicated to some religious purpose; having a divine 
character; inspiring solemn thoughts or emotions; as, the Dalai Lama 
of Thibet; the Moogum of M'bwango; the temple of Apes in Ceylon; the 
Cow in India; the Crocodile, the Cat and the Onion of ancient Egypt; 
the Mufti of Moosh; the hair of the dog that bit Noah, etc.


SAINT, n. A dead sinner revised and edited.

It could turn out real well for him - David Lynch might make a movie about his

Having agreed to cease practicing medicine as part of a plea agreement in

 Good morning! Back on the "Beaut", and high on life, 1300 feet above the 
valley!  The dawn is a very quiet one. A few hours ago when I awoke, the sky 
was clear, with the full moon setting, and the last of the stars. Now, the sky 
is a blanket of soft grey, getting very gradually lighter.
 After months of transition, we are getting our furniture and belongings today! 
One of the first things I want to do, is set up a table and chairs in the 
dining nook, off the kitchen, overlooking heaven, in the back yard, for morning 
chai. A very good day! 
 

 Yes indeed, an excellent start to the day. 
 

 I am about to get into my Bogs and jeans and sweatshirt and toddle out to 6 
expectant horses and feed them. My four dogs will follow me out and they will 
run and play and bark all the while believing they are "getting the horses 
back" and doing something useful. Then I will turn the various horses out into 
the fields where they will pair up with their respective buddies and chomp away 
at the remaining grass - all dry and brown - and bask in the unseasonably warm 
day we seem to be having right now. Yup, I love the little things in life, the 
small rituals.
