No, of course not.  That's natural.  What is strange is that the

with talking trash about the other students and putting them down.
That's the phenomenon that's common, and strikes me as more
than a little strange.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Themes of TMO...

2005-08-03 Thread Robert Gimbel
Well, a bit odd indeed; my intention was to bring to awareness some 
of the tendencies which have been discussed here, in terms of how 
strange the movement has become to many outside observers, and how 
this might relate to theme's which have been present in the movement 
since Jerry, Charlie, and the more main-stream folks of times 
past...left the movement; 
There must be something at the root of what upsets people especially 
of late, of certain tendencies which seem to play themselves out, 
over and over again.

 I've got alot of complaints about the TMO but no where and at no time 
 did I ever have the impression that either MMY or the TMO ever 
 accorded women no respect; indeed, I would say that, between the 
 sexes, preferential treatment and respect were given women...both in 
 practise and in the teaching.

I got the feeling that what Rick was referring to was the
idea of women as equals.  In my experience, Maharishi
always treated the women around him as decoration, or
as something you put up on a pedestal and revere, as
opposed to actually relating to.

I don't know the answer to this question, because I haven't
been in touch with the TMO for so long, but among all the
scientists invited to speak and lend their caveat to the TMO
and help sell its products, has there ever been a woman
scientist?  Has any woman who is considered a leader in
her field ever been invited to speak at TM-sponsored 
symposia?  Has any woman ever been involved in the
groups that do the strategic planning with Maharishi?
I never saw any.

Maharishi has *always* treated his students as children,

everyone who attempted to grow up and make their own
decisions about their own lives has either left the movement
or been drummed out of it.

I think it's pretty simple.  This is the only form of interpersonal
relationship with which Maharishi is comfortable.  He can't
possibly change, so everyone is expected to conform to
his limitations and stay a child forever.  As someone said 
here recently, these are the only people he trusts with the
future of the movement.  They have to have as little person-

To a certain extentthis may be true (I've said as much saying that

It's possible.  Robert Burns probably borrowed the melody

Citations, please, especially for the last sentence,

I had a friend (Robin Williamson) who was rather
an authority on musical instruments, being the 
master of many of them.  The only non-Celtic links 
he could ever find to the East for the bagpipe were 
rumors (that is, never any actual instruments) that 
the Sumerian bagpipes had worked their way East, 
transported there by Celtic travelers.

In other words, this rap sounds to me like yet another
of those Maharishi-inspired fantasies about all things 
valuable having had their origination in India.  :-)

As for their appearance in the ceremonies, I still
hold to my theory that Maharishi can't tell the differ-
ence between true ancient India and the India of
the British Raj.  They're all muddled up in his mind
as some pastiche fantasy of a better age in the past.
I saw many instances of this in the time I was working 
with him on publications. He'd look at drawings of 
buildings and declare, That is Vedic, and the building 
would turn out to be a drawing of one of the British Raj's
administrative headquarters.  

He's impressed by pomp and ceremony, and thinks
it impresses others.  And the pomp and ceremony 
he grew up with was British.

[FairfieldLife] Vacation photo (sorta)

2005-08-03 Thread TurquoiseB
I was going to refer those who've been curious about the 
area of France I'm vacationing in to the latest (August) issue of 
Geo magazine, but I can't tell for sure on the Web whether
it has an English-language edition.  Anyway, they have a
section this month on Languedoc-Roussillion, and it even
contains a photo of the house I live in.  If you find the French
edition, it's on pages 110-111.

Since I couldn't find a link to that photo, here's another one:

http://www.tourinfos.com/fr/r0011/d0030/m0003/p000549.htm

My house is the one just to the left of the bush in the fore-
ground, on the right of the photo.  If you look closely, you
can probably see me waving from the terrace...  :-)

It's looking pretty certain that I'll be able to move here in
the Fall, and live in the same house.  Life is good...

There certainly are aspects of M.'s teaching which really have the mark 
of being influenced by the British and possibly--most likely--a heavily 
Brit-influenced education. We really don't know because M. has done 
such a great job at hiding his past. There are certain earmarks I look 
for in a version of Indian teachings which have been tainted by 
western, mostly Christian, influence and M.'s filtering of Indian

I suspect part of the reason for bagpipes is it's microtonality.

Nope.  I Googled bagpipes 'cause I don't know
much about them.  What I was mainly looking for
was some indication that the drone was anything
more than an artifact of the nature of the
instrument, i.e., whether in Celtic music it was
considered to represent the unmanifest or had some
similar kind of esoteric significance, per eki's
suggestion.

I didn't look long enough to find anything about
that, but I did, to my surprise, find quite a bit
about the bagpipe's Middle Eastern origins, which
I hadn't known about at all.  Nobody seems to 
know for sure where it originated, but India is one
of the guesses, as well as Sumeria and some other
places.

Although physical evidence of actual ancient 
bagpipes is very scarce--apparently because they
were made primarily of animal skin and wood,
and also because it was a peasant or folk
instrument--there's a great deal of literary and
pictorial evidence. There's a Hittite slab from
1000 B.C. that depicts a bagpipe, for instance,
and one is mentioned in the Hebrew Scriptures.
One Web site suggested that the proto-bagpipe (more
the pipes than the bag) was probably the second
musical instrument to evolve after percussion
instruments.

Here's a few sites:

Could be.  In particular, using the bagpipe for a
royal ceremony is more British Raj than native
Indian; as noted, the bagpipe is a folk or peasant
instrument in India.

What I'm curious about is whether there's devotional
music for bagpipe in India, or some form of Ghandarva-
Veda music.

There must be something at the root of what upsets 
people especially of late, of certain tendencies which seem to play 
themselves out, over and over again.Yeah, MMY was inscrutable, hid his true intentions from all 
his helpers, and they therefore felt useless.

yes I do agree and it is not for me

I love living in Fairfield because we have been here so long and 
have so many friends here and it is small town living at its finest 
very easy. You give up amenties but they are close by if you need 
them. Not like some cities but enough to get by  it is very sweet 
but the whole TMO thing makes me feel so jailed in this town. I try 
to just stay away from it . I am sure in some big city I would feel 
jailed by traffic or something else. I do feel very safe here which 
goes a long way these days , but yes I think it has always been this 
way the weak are around MMY. They may be brillant but they cant 
think for themselves at all and are happy to blindly follow a 
master. Does he take advantage of that probably why would he want to 
waste his energy going up against all the non believers.

 To a certain extentthis may be true (I've said as much saying that 
 MMY is creating a hardcore group that will follow King Tony after 
MMY 
 dies). However, there are reasonably (as far as I can tell) 
 independent schools and whatnot that still associate with the TMO 
 without the requirement of crowns and so on.

I have friends that go each summer and find it hard to get a house

country hotels that come very recommended. They also need to be 
where the kids can go to day camp in French. Looks lovely.

[FairfieldLife] Sanskrit (?) term sought

Friend of mine wants to know the term used to describe the wave of

He thinks it may be Sanskrit.  Any idea what the term is?

 That's the phenomenon that's common, and strikes me as more

Here's my theory. Readers may see in it my familiar 
worldview -- the Science of Creative Intelligence.

 - Creation arises from an underlying field of Truth, 
Beauty and Unity.
 - Creation is itself a lie, for it gives the impression 
of differences.
 - Despite being a lie, Creation strives to rediscover 
and express the Truth, Beauty and Life at its source.
 - Although people may act on the basis of their perceived 
separateness -- say, they hurt another person as if that 
hurt could not affect the person doing the hurting -- 
they cannot escape the underlying Unity, Beauty and Truth.
 - Conscience is the expression of the underlying Unity, 
Truth and Beauty.

In other words, if we were not creatures of something 
Good, connected at our source, why would anyone ever 
give a rat's ass about anyone else? Why would criminals 
feel remorse and confess? Why would heros risk their 
lives for strangers?

Even in the depths of ignorance, Unity tries to live in us each day.

That's certainly a possibility.  It could also be a method of

An important distinction.  

The former way of putting it (Patrick's statement) implies that
the force doing the uniting is Unity itself, as if it were sentient.
That's certainly one way of seeing the situation, but it isn't
necessary to postulate the state of consciousness of Unity.  
Jeff's statement does more justice to the idea that Unity (eter-
nity, Self, whatever) has always been present.  There was no
need for anything to try to live it in us...it was already there.
All that was necessary was for us to realize this.

 On that note, I looked out the window and noticed that several

have spent some quality time eating my food offerings on an outer 
windowsill. So I'm wondering what the nature of unity is that 
structured my probably having to kill these beings.

The ability to *sanely* discriminate.

 I think it's pretty simple.  This is the only form of interpersonal
 relationship with which Maharishi is comfortable.  He can't
 possibly change, so everyone is expected to conform to
 his limitations and stay a child forever.

 In other words, if we were not creatures of something  
Good, connected at our source, why would anyone ever  give a rat's ass 
about anyone else? Why would criminals  feel remorse and confess? Why 
would heros risk their  lives for strangers?  Even in 
the depths of ignorance, Unity tries to live in us each day.Pretty 
interesting and positive way of looking at it. Thanks.Ah, I had missed this. Why would anyone give a rat's 
ass. I have a rat problem, that is, rats are eating my attic. I had put 
out poison for them many times. I always feel sorry for them, but what can 
you do? They breed and take over if you let them. Rats don't try to ask us for 
permission before digging out the roots under our favorite trees and digging out 
deep holes in our walls. 

Sure from God's perspective they probably have just as 
much right to life as humans (Unless you like the Torah or New testament of The 
Book, in which case, yeah, fuck em). But unfortunately we cannot coexist. 
Rats are vermin carriers and anathema to cleanliness and health. 


On the other hand, wasps are dangerous critters. 
I have no compunction about letting them live, but if they stung my wife I would 
feel quite slighted as if I had been remiss in my duties as a husband and care 
provider. In theOld Eastern Americawasps nests often were allowed 
even inside the home because wasps are predatory and kill other bugs. If 
you don't step on them or attack them they leave you alone. In theory. 


However, imagine doing your asanas for world peace and 
rolling over on a wasp. Wasps sting and their entire internal organs shove the 
stinger into you, thus killing it. The stinger is blood covered carrying many 
microorganisms to your own bloodstream. Not to mention poison. 


Wasps are sort of like terrorists.Sort of 
like American troops in Iraq too.

From reports in the paper American troops have started 
attacking civilians who even look suspicious by shooting first and asking 
questions second. So if intelligent humans can act like this then what of 
wasps? I don't know. I am a man of peace. If I fight, I merely fight with 
words.Usually. 

How can I tell these wasps I am gonna fucking kill them 
if they don't split? How can I tell these rats that I do love them as 
God's creatures, and I even think they're cute, but they have to die? 


But worst, how can I be such a fucking 
hypocrite?!

Unity consciousness. 

I'll let them be just for now. Today I am meditating. 
Until the wife gets wise and busts my balls over it. Then they're screwed. 
So that I can be. 

Maybe they'll just go away

Reminds me of how I felt when my wife became more self-determined

what I told her to do without much ability to observe or discriminate

She keeps me honest and is such an equal partner.  I'm glad to know I

[FairfieldLife] Bush Administration and DEA to Extradite God from Heaven...

2005-08-03 Thread Llundrub





Thanks Swami


Bush Administration and DEA 
to Extradite God from Heaven...

for conspiracy to manufacture and distribute dangerous 
drugs. Yes, our Heavenly Father, Creator of the Universe as well as the lowly 
marijuana seed, is charged with attempting to poison America's youth and 
undermine Christian values.While the Bush Administration has yet to 
figure out how to serve the warrant, a DEA spokesman said this is mostly a 
symbolic gesture to put God on notice that, "Even he is not above the law, and 
being omnipotent, should have forseen the dire consequences of this disruptive 
and highly addictive creation." The spokesman futher pondered, "I wonder what he 
has to say about this?"It has been rumored that God in turn merely 
smiled benevolently and nodded towards the first chapter of the 
Bible.The ACLU pointed out that while God could get life in prison; that 
this would be extremely cruel for an immortal being. "However; at this time we 
are not preparing a defense as Johny Cochran has already volunteered his 
services from the Other Side," an ACLU lawyer said.Several billion tax 
dollars have already been funneled into the private sector to start construction 
of a prison secure enough to hold a Divine Being, "just in case" a Department of 
Prisons release noted.

the gap between dark and dawn, when many realms overlap. It is the

--'A Course in Miracles', claims that unity, is the basis of 
miracles, and that any 'healing' occurs when 'Unity' is experienced; by 
definition, this experience of unity, mentioned in the Course, happens when 
the ego is transcended, when the 'body' and thoughts of seperation, cease, 
and spirit cognizes spirit. atma cognizes Atma.

So I will be healed when I kill the rats and wasps? Or they will be 
healed? Or I should just make reallly really good friends with them. 
Invite them in, set places at the table and even keep a few of each in my 
pockets?

[FairfieldLife] The meaning of *burning out your karma*....

2005-08-03 Thread wmurphy77
...the seeds of desire that have gone deep into the subconscious mind 
are 'roasted' in the fire of knowledge (Sat Chit Ananda, ever new
joy) 
and the intellect (finest, subtlest aspect of the individual, jiva)
is 
established in Being (atma) and free from samsara (reincarnation) and 
achieves (Moksha,liberation).

However, there is still karma, (from past lives and this) which must
be 
reconciled, as is the law of karma, 'As ye sow, so shall ye reap',
this 
karma must be accounted for or voluntarily amended. If one is 
established in nirvikalpa samadhi (all time state of samadhi) the
effect 
of this karma is minimal but still equal to its cause.  BillyG.

maybe 1000).  Even Bill Gates said in the early 1990s it might be better 
broken up into 3 companies.  But he never did it.  I would even bet that 
right now there is a Microsoft Linux group in Redmond. :)

Open Source for apps can be good too especially if it's a niche market 
item where the customers who would be interested don't have the income 
to purchase it.  However we often have to wait for a complete product 
from open source folks and if the folks driving the development get 
bored or get offered a good job (because someone noticed their work on 
the project) then the project falters.

Pricing commercial software can be high voodoo too.  You need to make a

then it is a crap shoot.   Price it too high and your customers won't 
buy it and price it too low and folks won't think it's worth anything.  
Hmm reminds me of something else. ;-)

As for bugs, your tester usually miss something that shows up as soon as 
you release.  Therefore all first releases should be considered betas 
unless the program is really simple.  Open betas help with the process 
but for some products won't be practical.  And bugs aren't limited to 
just software.  Your computer, your TV, your DVD player, camcorder, 
digital camera, game console, etc.  all ship with bugs which required 
workarounds.  Believe me, just because the product has a big company 
name on it doesn't mean the code is any better.  Often there is a 
distance between the desires of the suits that run the company (who are 
often clueless about how software and hardware is developed) and the

The Vijanana-Bhairava is a collection of 112 different yogas. The text 
requires an oral explanation in many cases because it is deliberately 
obscure--thus Mahesh requested the teaching on these yogas from one of 
the last living masters.

Sandhi is the gap talked of in TMO. It occurs numerous 
places--between the disappearance of one thought and the reemergence of 
another, or the gap between in-breath and out-breath, etc. It the 
doorway to the transcendent. Different techniques use this to enter the 
transcendent in different ways.

[FairfieldLife] Re: The meaning of *burning out your kishka's (was karma*....)

2005-08-03 Thread Kenny H
This esoteric experience of burning karma is, in fact, related to a
little known Jewish technique of burning your kishka's out. For those
who don't know, a kishka, in one definition, simply means,
intestine. A more modern interpretion relates to heartburn. 

Himey Yonkel says that the first known experience of having your
kishka burned out was the first day Katz's Deli, on Delancey Street in
Manhattan, opened. The first customer ordered a pastrami sandwich, sat
down, took a bite, swallowed, his face beamed and he cried out, This
is heavenly!

However, about an hour later, he was walking down Broadway, near 39th
Street, in the garment district, when he cried out, My kishka's are
killing me then he belched and the people three deep away from him
could be heard saying, It smells like pastrami around here.

Since then many millions of native New Yorkers as well as tourists
regularly participate in this ancient tribal rite of having their
kishka's burned out.

  - Patrick Gillam

No problem- once a unified life is lived, our tendency to act as if 
alone drastically diminishes, in part becuase the seperation between 
us and others is not the dominant perception. 

Differences are there but they function more as differentiation for 
normal daily activity (e.g.the red traffic light means stop vs the 
green light means go) vs something for the ego (small self) to 
involve itself with. There is no further thought of differences once 
they have been interacted with in order to carry on daily life. 
Things are as they are- no more and no less.

That pain leaking through is just built up impressions of 
separation, which dissolves quickly once a unified life is lived. 
Often the pain purges itself from the body; crying, vomiting, etc., 
when union is close at hand. Memories of pain can be felt, but there 
is no more karma of separation actively generated.

Also, I found some interesting tidbits, on Unity Consciousness: 

Subject: 'Will' of God (vs: phi compression/compassion as ALIGN 
YOURSELF into ONE), Tue, 30 Nov 1999 From: James Barrett 
[EMAIL PROTECTED], To: dan raven beth ray mary

What do you think of this concept? This is what came last night after 
reading (reduce God to
a Geometry) in one of your notes sent to me. It came in dream time. 
James

Will of God

What does the statement align or surrender to the will of God mean?

Jesus said; aligned with the One are the compassionate, upon them 
shall be compassion.

I am suggesting that the will of God is manifested as relationships to 
PHI.
If you align your heart and body to this relationship, which has no
destructive patterns inherent, then your consciousness rises to a 
level of
being one with God.

Love is a golden mansion in which the King of Eternity homes the 
entire
family of creation. And at God's command, love is a mystic fire that 
can
melt the grossness of the cosmos into the invisible substance of 
eternal
Love. This from Reflections on Love, Written in 1940 by Paramahansa
Yogananda.

He writes in Divine Romance  Just as oil is present in every part of 
the
olive, so love permeates every part of Creation.

So Love is in everything and is the energy or substance or God, but he
continues in the same book in the next lines,  The satisfaction of 
love is
not in the feeling itself, but in the joy that feeling brings. Love 
gives joy
We love love because it gives us such intoxicating happiness. So it is 
not
the ultimate; the ultimate is bliss.

God is, ever-existing, ever conscious, ever-new bliss  from joy we
have come, in joy we live and have our being, and in that sacred joy we
will one day melt again. He continues; All The divine emotions-love,
compassion, courage, self-sacrifice, humility ­ would be meaningless
without joy. Joy means exhilaration, an expression of the ultimate 
Bliss.

 Man's experience of joy originates in the brain, in the subtle 
center of
God (amygdala)­ consciousness that the yogis call the thousand- petal
lotus. Yet the actual feeling of this joy is experienced not in the 
head but in
the heart. The Divine Romance by Paramahansa Yogananda

The early Sufi texts states, that the Heart is the seat of God when 
opened,
but a tomb when closed.

So the key lies in the heart, the fourth chakra, awaiting you to find 
it and
then open it. But open it to what and what is the KEY?

 The fourth energy center is the Heart chakra or Anahatam, which
literally means 'unstruck or unbeaten' like the transcendental sound, 
which
is constant, just as the heart beats constantly. It is located in the 
spinal
column, directly behind the center of the chest, at the heart level. 
It is
connected physiologically with the heart plexus of nerves. It is 
depicted as
a twelve-petalled lotus, green in color with a six-pointed star and is
inscribed with the letter ya. It is associated with creative power,
unconditional love and compassion, and the ability to over come fate. 
In
the writings of the Siddhas, anahata is said to be where one's 
thoughts and
desires are forfilled. With its awakening, one becomes a master over 
the
situations of life. One no longer depends upon fate to determine one's
conscious will. This is from the book, Babaji and the 18 Siddha Kriya
Yoga Tradition by M. Govindan, M.A.

We have found over and over that when the heart opens to another or
feels awe the relationships of the echo's coming from the heart are is 
a
PHI relationship or proportion.

Phi Relationships are found not only the architecture of nature, this
includes man but in the fractal nature of atomic structure.

The more we look in to it the more we find the fractal signature of PHI
proportions in the structures of all physical and inanimate things like
crystals. The mechanics of Quantum object appears to even have this
relationship in their actions. The Geometry of why this might be so is 
easy
to understand for it allows for activity beyond the speed of light, 
and God
it if anything beyond this limitation.

It states that we are made in His image and likeness.

In this state (bliss), all the necessities having been attained and 
the
ultimate aim effected, the heart becomes perfectly purified and 
instead of
merely reflecting the spiritual light, actively manifests the same. 
Man,
being thus consecrated or anointed by the Holy Spirit, becomes Christ, 
the
anointed Savior. Entering the

 This esoteric experience of burning karma is, in
 fact, related to a
 little known Jewish technique of burning your
 kishka's out. For those
 who don't know, a kishka, in one definition, simply
 means,
 intestine. A more modern interpretion relates to
 heartburn. 
 
 Himey Yonkel says that the first known experience of
 having your
 kishka burned out was the first day Katz's Deli, on
 Delancey Street in
 Manhattan, opened. The first customer ordered a
 pastrami sandwich, sat
 down, took a bite, swallowed, his face beamed and he
 cried out, This
 is heavenly!
 
 However, about an hour later, he was walking down
 Broadway, near 39th
 Street, in the garment district, when he cried out,
 My kishka's are
 killing me then he belched and the people three
 deep away from him
 could be heard saying, It smells like pastrami
 around here.
 
 Since then many millions of native New Yorkers as
 well as tourists
 regularly participate in this ancient tribal rite of
 having their
 kishka's burned out.

After eating Chinese take-out last night, I awoke
around 3:00 AM burning my kishkas out. This fire of
karma was squelched with about a dozen tums followed
by a pain relieving Yonkel Yodel. Harmony returned and
the nation prospered.

[FairfieldLife] Sid Harth quotes Dr.Ambedkar

2005-08-03 Thread Jason Spock










 

 

http://forumhub.com/indhistory/26352.18617.16.56.40.html

 "The Brahmins claim that Lord Rama is incarnated (came in human form) to study and understand the difficulties of mankind. Is it really necessary for a god to incarnate Himself?? Can he not understand the creation? Why should God become a donkey or a cockroach in order to understand the sufferings of these creatures?" 
- Sid Harth. "BEEF EATING RAMA: When God Rama was told to go to forest, he mournfully revealed to is mother: "if has been ordained that I have to lose the kingdom, forego the princely comforts and the tasty, MEAT DISHES. (Ayodha Kandam, 20, 26, 94th Chapters)." - Sid Harth. "RAMA'S MANY WIVES: Mr. C.R. Sreenivasa lyengar's translation of Valmiki Ramayana says: " Though Rama had married Sita to be the queen, he married many other wives for sexual pleasure in accordance with the royal customs. (Ayodha Kandam 8th Chapter, page 28). (The term "Rama's wives" as been used in many places in Ramayan).- Sid Harth. "RAMA'S DISRESPECT FOR HIS FATHER: Rama called his father " A FOOL, AN IDIOT" (Ayodhya Kandam, 53rd Chapter)" - Sid Harth. Please visit www.ambedkar.org for more on this issue. Please visit thread No.20552 in www.sysindia.com archives. Some more on this issue: I quote first Dr. B.R. Ambedkar:  "Valmiki has very minutely described* [f79] the daily life of Rama after he became King. According to that account the day was divided into two parts. Up to forenoon and afternoon. From morning to forenoon he was engaged in performing religious rites and ceremonies and offering devotion. The afternoon he spent alternately in the company of Court jesters and in the Zenana. When he got tired of the Zenana he joined the company of jesters and when he got tired of jesters he went back to the Zenana*[f80].  Valmiki also gives a detailed description of how Rama spent his life in the Zenana. This Zenana was housed in a park called Ashoka
 Vana. There Rama, used to take his meal. The food according to Valmiki consisted of all kinds of delicious viands. They included flesh and fruits and liquor. Rama was not a teetotaler.  He drank liquor copiously and Valmiki records that Rama saw to it that Sita joined with him in his drinking bouts*[f81]. From the description of the Zenana of Rama as given by Valmiki it was by no means a mean thing. There were Apsaras, Uraga and Kinnari accomplished in dancing and singing. There were other beautiful women brought from different parts. Rama sat in the midst of these women drinking and dancing. They pleased Rama and Rama garlanded them. Valmiki calls Rama as a 'Prince among women's men '. This was not a day's affair. It was a regular course of his life." - Dr. B. R. Ambedkar - Riddles of Rama and Krishna.

Your $50.00 charge reminds of a little prank I wanted to play on one 
of those internet scam artists...but I found out I was too cheap to 
do it.

As I'm sure 100% of the readers of this forum have gotten the same 
letters as me from those scam artists in Africa -- mostly from 
Nigeria -- you'll all know what I am referring to: you get an 
unsolicited email asking you to be an intermediary for a charity 
organisation in their country and could you please cash a check for 
them for a donation?  And for your trouble you can keep 10% of the 
proceeds.  The idea is they have one of their cohorts actually mail 
you a check, you deposit it in the bank and then before it has a 
chance to clear they convince you because of the urgent need of the 
charity that you are to please send them by international money 
order the funds.

So, I strung along one of the scam artists making them believe I 
would co-operate and they emailed me back saying they were having a 
donator send me a check for $3,500 of which I could keep 10%.  I 
would therefore be expected to send them $3, 150 and keep $350 for 
my troubles. My brilliant idea?  To actually send them an 
international money order...not for $3,150 but for $3.15!  I thought 
that would send them into a frenzy and stir up all sorts of shit.

But I didn't do it because it would have cost $20.00 for the money 
order with Western Union and although I was willing to have a giggle 
for $3.15 and maybe an extra $5.00 I wasn't going to pay $23.15...

[FairfieldLife] Conscience and consciousness (was Re: Clown Suits)

 *That pain leaking through is just built up impressions of
 separation, which dissolves quickly once a unified life is lived*
 
 I believe when we have healed ourselves to this extent, then we 
 become healing to anyone we have contact with, in that the latent 
 impressions of pain and seperation, which can still be recognized in 
 other's, helps to dissolve the same, and hence, the miracle of the 
 healing power of unity.
 
That would be great. I do find that my interpersonal relationships 
have all improved immeasurably. No more stories. As to whether or not 
I am 'healing' others, gee I just don't know about that, although I 
agree about the perception of pain, etc. in others, since we no longer 
carry it in ourselves. 

Regarding miracles, it is pretty miraculous to do or not do just about 
anything. It's that 'appreciation' thing Tom T and Barry were talking 
about earlier...

 I was thinking primarily of the gap, the sandhi in mantra yoga,

 Vijnana-Bhairava techniques.

Who is saying this?


 
 I wonder if Lakshman Joo held M.'s penis? I have pictures of them

 I got the feeling that what Rick was referring to was the
 idea of women as equals.  In my experience, Maharishi
 always treated the women around him as decoration, or
 as something you put up on a pedestal and revere, as
 opposed to actually relating to.

And he often decorated them. It was common for him to buy jewelry and saris
for Mother Divine ladies. Expensive ones for the higher-ups, but even my
wife got some nice stuff while on MD. I don't necessarily see this as a bad
thing. Ladies like stuff like that and it gave them some relative happiness,
which they may have been missing.
 
 I don't know the answer to this question, because I haven't
 been in touch with the TMO for so long, but among all the
 scientists invited to speak and lend their caveat to the TMO
 and help sell its products, has there ever been a woman
 scientist?  Has any woman who is considered a leader in
 her field ever been invited to speak at TM-sponsored
 symposia?  Has any woman ever been involved in the
 groups that do the strategic planning with Maharishi?
 I never saw any. 

Suzie Dillbeck did plenty. Also Rhoda Orme-Johnson and other ladies with
academic qualifications spoke at conferences if they were qualified to
speak.

I believe it was a private discussion. He said it was quite an emotional
moment for both of them, as he and Maharishi were both very fond of each
other, but he was indeed getting independent in his thinking, and it was
time to go.

 --'A Course in Miracles', claims that unity, is the basis of

 So I will be healed when I kill the rats and wasps? Or they will 
be healed?  Or I should just make reallly really good friends with 
them. Invite them in, set places at the table and even keep a few of

Sometimes we can make telepathic contact with animals (including 
insects) and let them know our wishes; sometimes they will even listen 
to us and cooperate! Try reading J. Allen Boone's Kinship with all 
Life, and/or Machaelle Small Wright's Behaving as if the God in All 
Life Mattered for nice examples of interspecies communion and 
cooperation. And sometimes we just gotta kill 'em. But it never hurts 
to try the other route first -- as mentioned, sometimes it works :-)

That was the way my friend quoted him, but my assumption is that the meaning
was more along the lines of your first sentence.

We were friends or at least friendly when I was in Studio City and
you, me and Jack shared the activities at the little Studio City Center. 
I was very suprised, I guess about a year ago, when you made a really
nasty anti-Semitic remark here on FFLife.
I hadn't had that kind of comment made at/to me since I was in high
school and I definitely remember the effect your comment had on me. 
It was not a Hinjew joke. I lived in an Orthodox neighborhood in
Manhattan a couple of years ago for a couple of years and the people I
got to know and who knew I meditated called me a Hinjew, it's
apparently a common term.
