[FairfieldLife] Re: TMO is a spiritual Enron - was A question for Brigante
I went to the Register office for Trademarks in Norway and talked to a Lawyer in the office. The TMO had applied several times to get registered Transcendental Meditation as Trademark. Every time they were turned down. The Lawyer told me that the word transcendental is a description of a state in consciousness, and that they would not accept to trademark a description of a word. The same with meditation. So she said: You should just go ahead and use Transcendental Meditation in you advertising. But this is Norway - maybe it is different in other countries - I do not know.

BTW, how did you checkthis out? Are you saying that there is NO registered trademark? What about the Maharishi Technology of the Unified Field, for instance? I guess I'll just either have to teach quietly or wait for the lawsuits and their resolution. I'm pretty sure that they will happen soon enough. I seriously doubt that there will be any lawsuits. As Ingegerd has pointed out, the TMO is afraid to bring any real intellectual property case to court because their case is so weak. Also, if you read between the lines of recertification, especially the part about having to do it over and over again every few years, that's a lawyer thang. What I've heard is that NONE of the agreements asked of teachers along the way are now legally enforceable. So the recert program is to create a whole new set that will be legally enforceable. Unc One agreement certainly is enforceable: trademark. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!' Yahoo!

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Desires and Enlightenment
I use the term dharma to refer to a way of being within the context of a particular state of consciousness. Waking state is a particular way of being that entails personal responsibility among many other things. CC is a particular way of being that is quite different in many ways from waking state. To take an understanding of action from waking state and then to try to comprehend an understanding of action in CC will just create massive confusion. Of course people do this all the time as a rationalization for wrong action in waking state. They'll say such nonsense as, I didn't do it, the three gunas did. or some such ilk.

Rick Carlstrom In waking state there is a foundational confound between consciousness and the experiential sense of I. This I is ego. Because consciousness is projected into and identified with body/mind there is a bound sense of self: individuality. This ego assumes ownership for action. Thus in waking state we assume that action occurs because I am intending it. But in enlightenment it becomes rather clear that there is no I to intend or not to intend anything. Action just occurs or not occurs. Thoughts just occur or not occur. Feelings just occur or not occur. There is no I that takes ownership. The I actually does not exist. But it appears to exist in waking state and is confused with consciousness. What drives the behavior/thought/feeling of the enlightened is what drives everything phenomenal: God/Nature/Mystery, whatever. This is actually driving people in waking state too, but they think that subjective sense of I is doing it. It's quite the delusion! In fact from the behavioral level there is no difference between the unenlightened and the enlightened. But the enlightened person is not there in the way the unenlightened person believes themselves to be. There is no sense of I or mine in the enlightened person. There is no subjective self that sees itself as me or I . That just goes in enlightenment. The best an enlightened person can say is that they are nothing. They aren't there in they way an unenlightened person believes they are there. There is no personal identity or self in enlightenment. The mind can't understand this because it confounds a sense of individual self with consciousness. The two have no relationship what so ever. A personal self is a product of consciousness projecting into mind and experiencing itself as bound.

The reason it is composite is because we're fooled into not getting that purusha+prakriti ain't purusha. Therefore discriminate and make the jump. Or not.

[FairfieldLife] Re: recent post about Jesus dying of a blood clot :-)
Jesus died of expectations to be something he wasn't, Israeli researcher Paul R says Updated: 1:08 p.m. ET June 8, 2005 JERUSALEM - An Israeli researcher has challenged the popular belief that Jesus died of blood loss on the cross, saying he probably succumbed to a sometimes fatal disorder now associated with being the focus to many religious nutcases who thought he was the son of God. Professor Benjamin Brenner wrote in The Journal of Divinity and The Problems It Causes that Jesus' death, traditionally believed to have occurred 3 to 6 hours after crucifixion began, was probably caused by the immense pressure to be divine, which he was not. Such pressure, leading to sudden death, can stem from immobilization, multiple trauma and being constantly pestered by people with no faith in themselves, said Brenner, a researcher at Rambam Medical Center in Haifa. This fits well with Jesus' condition and actually was in all likelihood the major cause of death by crucifixion, he wrote in the article, based on religious and medical texts. A 1986 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association mentioned the possibility that Jesus suffered a blood clot but concluded that he died trying to be something he wasn't. But Brenner said research into God-like egomania had made significant strides over the past two decades. He said recent medical research has linked immobility among passengers on lengthy air flights to deep vein thrombosis, popularly known as economy-class syndrome in which potentially fatal blood clots can develop, usually in the lower legs. However that research has nothing to with Jesus and should be struck from the record, a lawyer for atheists said today. Brenner noted that before crucifixion, Jesus underwent hypnosis, but the researcher concluded that the amount of divinity actually in him would not have killed him. He said that Jesus, as a Jew from what is now northern Israel, may have been particularly at risk of a fatal enema of the soul. Meglomania, a rare condition in which humans subject another human to outrageous claims of family connections, is common to natives of the Galilee and the deep south of the USA, the researcher wrote.

--I'm having a hard time understanding why people would be upset with this news whether it was a rumor or not! With all of the talk of how people should teach outside the movement, and with all the talk of how rigid the organization is; when there is an indication that the organization might be making a more flexible decision, and even returning people's money, it baffles the mind to see people upset; what is there to be upset about. Just suppose things are moving more quickly and there is more trust that things will be ok without a structured re-up course, what is wrong with that. Sometimes I feel that people like controversy for it's own sake. Maybe we have been so conditioned in our time, to be so cynical, and divided, against ourselves...Or perhaps it's all just an ego typical play of whose better than who.. I felt that from Maharishi's talk yesterday, that he feels more confident that this whole thing is in place now, and it's just a matter of unfolding naturally, that enough momentum and communication has taken place to tip the scales, so it's unstoppable??

Waking state is a particular way of being that entails personal responsibility among many other things. CC is a particular way of being that is quite different in many ways from waking state. To take an understanding of action from waking state and then to try to comprehend an understanding of action in CC will just create massive confusion. Of course people do this all the time as a rationalization for wrong action in waking state. They'll say such nonsense as, I didn't do it, the three gunas did. And this is different from, I didn't do it, enlight- enment/eternity/natural law did, as spoken by someone claiming enlightenment exactly how? :-) Unc If somebody claims enlightenment and then justifies or defends his behavior by claiming that it is the three gunas doing it ,is, in my book, quite entrenched in ignorance. It is the justification or defense that makes the difference here. Someone who is truly enlightened can not defend their behavior nor claim ownership of it. Its like the weather. It just happens. But this understanding can not be used from the perspective of waking state because it is not what is even remotely experienced . But the weather doesn't just happen, it only seems that way because we can't see over the horizon. If we could, we would realize that nothing just happens. My feeling is that enlightenment is the process of realization that one is not a separate individual but that one is God, that all is God. The realization that one is not the personallity, not the ego, not the body saying I am Rick, is really God disentangling itself from the illusion of individuality. But it seems like kind of a state of Limbo where the sense of being an individual has thankfully vanished but then responsibility for action has been handed off to a mystery something. Isn't that mystery something God? Thou art That. Wouldn't more integration be a greater indentification as God. Rather than hear people say I don't exist anymore and things just happen, how about I feel more like God than me and everything that happens is God. It's a personal universe.

Yes, Sal, that is the true physiology of what makes the hanging by crucifixion work.

The first review, How Vast is Our Ignorance, is by James N. Gardner, author of BIOCOSM. BIOCOSM (www.biocosm.org) was selected as one of the ten best science books of 2003 by the editors of Amazon.com. The second review, The Key to the Universe, is by Michael Shermer, originally published in the New York Sun, March 2005. How Vast is Our Ignornace? a review by James N. Gardner The most difficult thing for lay people to understand about science, Nobel laureate Murray Gell-Mann once told me after a lecture in Portland, Oregon, is how very little scientists truly comprehend about the basic nature of nature, how vast is our ignorance of the fundamental reality of the cosmos. Gell-Manns statement reminded me of the comment of that supreme master of quantum physics, Nobelist Richard Feynman, who once famously remarked: I think it can be safely said that nobody understands quantum mechanics. Isaac Newton, the father of modern physics and author of the Principia arguably the single most sublime achievement of the human intellectmade exactly the same point some 300 years earlier when he said: I dont know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me. Why is it that our greatest geniuses Gell-Mann, Feynman, Newtoncan humbly concede how pitifully limited is the reach of deep human insight and comprehension while lesser spirits noisily proclaim the certainty of their conclusions and forcefully dismiss dissent, doubt, or skepticism? The short answer, I think, is that humans crave certainty, even false certainty, in preference to the sense of vertigo induced by a clear-eyed acknowledgment that we are, at least most of the time, stumbling in the dark down an unmarked path through the baffling wilderness of an unknown perhaps unknowable reality. Facing up to the limits of our knowledge and the enormity of our ignorance is an acquired skill, to put it mildly. But it is a skill well worth cultivating. For if we dont realize where the shoreline of reasonably well established scientific theory ends and the vast sea of undiscovered truth begins, how can we possibly hope to measure our progress toward a deeper and more encompassing scientific enlightenment? That is the leitmotif of Oxford physicist Roger Penroses The Road to Reality: A Complete Guide to the Laws of the Universe. The great virtue of this massive tome an imposing brick of a book that bristles with equations and clocks in at a daunting 1,099 pages is not so much the encyclopedic review it provides of the history and current status of theoretical physics but rather its forthright acknowledgment that, for all its magnificent achievements, modern science remains a flickering candle surrounded by inky mystery. With refreshing candor, Penrose forcefully underscores the extent of our ignorance about the origin and indeed the very nature of the physical laws that govern the operation of our magnificent universe. What the enterprise of science has compiled to date, in Penroses view, is a decidedly incomplete guide to the laws of nature: I hope that it is clear, from the discussion given in the preceding sections that our road to understanding the nature of the real world is still a long way from its goal. Perhaps this goal will never be reached, or perhaps there will eventually emerge some ultimate theory, in terms of which what we call reality can in principle be understood. If so, the nature of that theory must differ enormously from what we have seen in physical theories so far. The great iconoclasts and contrarians of science British cosmologist Fred Hoyle, Princeton physicists John Wheeler and Freeman Dyson, Thomas Gold, Francis Crick, Albert Einstein, and

[FairfieldLife] Shoes kicked out, but Hindus still boycott France
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1138991.cms The Hindu Forum is spearheading a campaign seeking a worldwide Hindu boycott of all things French, including Air France flights, Mirage jets and a veto of Paris as the 2012 Olympics venue. Though French Fries are not yet on the boycott list, vocal British Hindus said it was time the French government realised that Hinduism predates Christianity by 5,000 years and it is unacceptable to ostracise it. At present, said Kallidai, all Catholic organisations in France enjoy a 100 per cent tax-exempt status for religious donations. Just 50 of an estimated 1000 Protestant organisations are tax-exempt. Two Muslim organisations are similarly recognised and several Jewish synagogues. But Hindu organisations are not.

East Meets West: Cosmology Then And Now 1. Houston Hindu Student Council Celebrates Kalyani Giri HOUSTON, TEXAS, June 4, 2005: The Hindu Students Council (HSC, click http://hscnet.org for web site) hosted an occasion in celebration of the unifying force of Hinduism at the Shri Radha Krishna Temple Hall on June 3, 2005. The event, a HSC Awareness Dinner and Fundraiser, was held to create more awareness in the community of HSC's vision to give the world enlightened Hindu leaders in all walks of life. A first of its kind event in HSC history, it brought in a much-needed sum of $52,000 to financially aid HSC to realize goals and further its cause. Over 220 youth invested time and support to the event. Coordinated by the student body with guidance of their elders, the event drew nearly 600 gatherees, and enjoyed strong representation from over 30 temples and prominent organizations such as Art of Living Foundation, Arya Samaj of Greater Houston, Chinmaya Mission Houston, BAPS Shree Swaminarayan Mandir, Shri Meenakshi Temple Society, India Culture Center and Gujarathi Samaj of Houston, to name but a few. Also attending were guests from the Jewish, Christian, Sikh, and Muslim communities. I believe that having HSC in my school is like having a mandir at home, said Hitesh Divecha, Pres. of HSC at the University of Houston, whose comment drew cheers of support from young attendees. Divecha's sister Payal told of her understanding of the concept of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam. HSC made me realize that there exists a greater family than you're born with, the whole world is one family, she said reflectively. Delivering the keynote address was National President of HSC, all chapters, Sameer Rawal. An MBA student at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, Rawal deemed Texas the ideal state for Hindus in the USA. Hindus in other states look to Houston Hindus to set precedents. And they follow your example. This awareness dinner is taking place at the right state, he said. He eloquently gave an overview of the vision of HSC. Founded in 1990, it is the largest student-run organization outside of India, with 77 chapters spanning North America and Canada. HSC has garnered the attention of over 105,000 students worldwide who benefit from activities such as holy scripture study sessions, Diwali poojas, seva projects, seminars, retreats, and global conferences such as the 2003 Global Dharma Conference held in New Jersey. Based on Vedic philosophy that encourages goodwill to all, and truth at all times, HSC provides a support system among Hindu students.

Some ancient astronomers seemed to have arrived at the conclusion that the creation of the universe, its growth, its eventual decay and regeneration are eternal processes without a beginning and without an end, repeating in endless cycles. The Hindus named each half cycle a night or day of Brahma in symbolic terms.

I guess I'll just either have to teach quietly or wait for the lawsuits and their resolution. I'm pretty sure that they will happen soon enough. I seriously doubt that there will be any lawsuits. As Ingegerd has pointed out, the TMO is afraid to bring any real intellectual property case to court because their case is so weak. Also, if you read between the lines of recertification, especially the part about having to do it over and over again every few years, that's a lawyer thang. What I've heard is that NONE of the agreements asked of teachers along the way are now legally enforceable. So the recert program is to create a whole new set that will be legally enforceable. Unc One agreement certainly is enforceable: trademark. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!' Yahoo!

One wonders if we were to examine the recertification papers if they use similar wording used in the Bikram suit to try to force adherence to a certified standard for TM's form of McMeditation? A program on the suit appeared wednesday of 60 Minutes (CBS). The TMO has been most concerned with use of the NAME of transcendental meditation during the past few lawsuits. This makes sense to ME because the TMO has always offered followup programs based on the assumption that everyone they're dealing with started wioth the same basic instruction and they're protecting their clientelle as much as themselves.
