[FairfieldLife] Bston Articlle- David Lynch- nice
http://www.berkeleybeacon.com/media/paper169/news/2005/09/29/ArtsAndEntertainment/David.Lynch.To.Speak.At.The.Majestic.Theatre-1005911.shtml David Lynch to speak at the Majestic Theatre Director of Blue Velvet, Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive will lecture on creativity and mediation By Bryan O'Toole Published: Thursday, September 29, 2005 A severed human ear lying in a perfectly trimmed yard, encircled by ants. A severely deformed man resting his head, knowing that he will die. A red room inhabited by a midget who speaks backward. Such images could only be the product of a deranged and disturbed mind. But, director David Lynch is at peace. The renowned filmmaker will speak about how he achieved this state in a lecture called Consciousness, Creativity and the Brain on Saturday at Emerson College's Cutler Majestic Theatre. Over the past 25 years, Lynch has indelibly left his mark on Hollywood, creating complex, surrealist visions in films like Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart and most recently, Mulholland Drive. At Emerson, he will speak about a technique called Transcendental Meditation, which involves taking 20 minutes twice a day to meditate and clear the mind. Lynch, who has practiced Transcendental Meditation for 32 years, said he had been looking for a way to reduce stress, but did not know how. Then, Lynch spoke to his sister and noticed a change in her voice when speaking about Transcendental Meditation, he told The Beacon during a recent phone interview. He tried it and has meditated daily ever since. It was so euphoric, he said. Although many people have described his films as unique, Lynch said that such a strong word should be reserved for the experiences during meditation. He personally finds himself adrift in an ocean of bliss while meditating, he said. The outlook has not only helped him deal with the pressures of the film business, but also daily life. When one meditates, he said, you don't see enemies, you see friends. Lynch's talk at Emerson will focus on how Transcendental Meditation has helped him throughout his career, as well as the creative process in Hollywood. He will be joined by quantum physicist John Hagelin and neuroscientist John Travis, who will provide scientific information about the effects of meditation on the brain. The director's speech at Emerson is part of his East Coast tour, which is also making stops at American University, Brown University, Yale University and New York University. In November, Lynch will begin a West Coast leg, speaking at UCLA among others. Tickets for Saturday's lecture were distributed for free at the Majestic Theatre's box office last Wednesday and all available seats were gone within two hours, according to the theatre's assistant manager, Christina Harrington. We were really pleased with the response, she said. Other local schools, including Boston University, Harvard University, MIT and Northeastern University were all allotted tickets for distribution. Any tickets left over, however, will be handed out at the Majestic Box Office at 11 a.m. tomorrow to any area college student with a valid school ID. Lynch's talk comes after the creation of the David Lynch Foundation for Consciousness-based Education and World Peace this July. The foundation aims to introduce Transcendental Meditation to classrooms around the country and it recently gave out a $200,000 grant to make this happen in seven schools in various locations. In the midst of his college tour and foundation work, Lynch has been working on his latest film, Inland Empire. Lynch cryptically said it is about a woman in trouble. The film, which features Wild at Heart's Laura Dern and Mulholland Drive's Justin Theroux, is almost finished shooting. Lynch feels it is important, however, to sideline the film temporarily for his lectures. Peace on earth is at stake, he said. And that's worth taking time off. __ Yahoo!

Thanks, I appreciate your appreciation; I'll give it a shot. The TM and TM-sidhis felt obsolete upon awakening; I had no desire to practice either of those programs anymore per se, so I am not speaking of them specifically. However, the desire to fly *did* remain, intensified if anything, and in a way served as a focus or impetus of my continuing studies which culminated in the group ascension spoken of here earlier and in my bio. Between those two points (say a 4 year period), I *did* take great joy in the spontaneous upwelling of desires and the siddhis of their fulfillment. (Some of these included conscious co-creating of world events, weather-control, volcanos, talking with animals, manifesting subtle essences, and the like. Most of these I pretty quickly abjured, as I saw they were leading in a non-evolutionary path for me, making me a deity rather than a human -- a less complete dharma, not what I came here for at that time.) Yup. That's what I was interested in. It's the path that Rama took. And see how that turned out. More recently, though, I have spent years (I think) more consciously *not* practicing these second-nature abilities (mostly by then the minor ones of knowledge, healing, shaktipat, and so on), as they seemed not always to be appropriate: like talking too much, instead of listening. Another wise decision IMO. Good metaphor. They seemed at times to be habitual short-cuts that actually *prevented* greater depth and intimacy and healing and self-knowledge -- greater human-ness, IOW. This absention has not always been there, by any means, but I have come to see its usefulness. Thanks for explaining. :-) Oo. Nasty emoticon. It must mean something nefarious. :-) Yahoo!

Yes, but a consistently 'twitting' of those expressions possibly prevents some deeper reflection. Maybe in some cases, but my term was *require*, which appeared to be what you were suggesting. In fact, the process of twitting--as opposed to simply dismissing--*mandates* reflection on the expressions in order to come up with a good twit. Whether the reflection goes any further is a different question, but my point was that one doesn't automatically rule out the other. That depends on how consistent the one response is vs. the other. If it is always a twit, that appears to be a good way to prevent further reflection. I don't think that's necessarily the case, first; second, it's not always a twit anyway. Usually Rory is taken pretty (horrors!) seriously. It just seemed to be time for a twit-fest. Translation: people were taking him seriously and not me. Can't have that. :-) Yahoo!

[FairfieldLife] Re: The talent for deception
Hari Om, Thanks for the Article, Sri.Stein Jason ---OriginalMessage-- From: "authfriend" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sat, 01 Oct 2005 01:54:18 - Subject: [FairfieldLife] The talent for deception Study: Adept Liars' Brains Are Built Differently By Robert Lee Hotz L.A. Times Staff Writer 10:47 AM PDT, September 30, 2005 In the lexicon of lying, there are white lies and bare-faced lies. Facts can be fudged, forged or shaded. There are fibbers, fabricators and feckless fabulists. By whatever clinical term, the truth simply is not in some people. Now scientists have an anatomical inkling why. A new study from the University of Southern California, published in the October issue of the British Journal of Psychiatry, suggests that the talent for compulsive deception is embedded in the structure of the brain itself. People who habitually lie and cheat - pathological liars - appear to have much more white matter, which speeds communication between neurons, in the prefrontal cortex than normal people, the researchers found. They also have fewer actual neurons. The differences affect a portion of the brain, located just behind the forehead, that enables people to feel remorse, learn moral behavior and plan complex strategies. The surplus of connections between neurons might enable these people to be more adept at the complex neural networking that underlies deceit. Lying is hard work and these brains may be better equipped to handle it, the researchers said. "Lying is cognitively complex," said USC psychologist Adrian Raine, the senior scientist on the research project. "It is not easy to lie. It is certainly more difficult than telling the truth. Some people have a biological advantage in lying. It gives them a slight edge." The researchers recruited 108 volunteers, then sorted them into groups based on psychological tests designed to determine how often they lied. The volunteers were then scanned using magnetic structural imaging to obtain detailed anatomical images of their brain tissue. The group of compulsive liars had 25.7% more white matter in the prefrontal cortex and 14.2% less gray matter than the normal control group. "To our knowledge, it is the first imaging study on people who lie, cheat and deceive as a group," Raine said. http://tinyurl.com/8vxjk Two more points on this, the first from anotherreport on the same study: "Pathological liars have less gray matter and more white matter in their prefrontal cortex, according to a report in the October issue of the British Journal of Psychiatry. Gray matter consists of the cells that do the thinking, while white matter consists of the cells that connect them." http://www.healthcentral.com/newsdetail/408/528266.html And this insightful analysis from a commenteron Kevin Drum's Political Animal blog: "What the study seems to be saying is that the people who are great liars have less grey matter to work with, which is the element that does the serious calculating work, so it's terrifically harder for them to work out the actual truth of something, but really easy to make up a great story about it, a story that outwardly fits tightly to the few most obvious facts which are all they can really determine." http://tinyurl.com/c9f82 Yahoo! for Good Click here to donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort.

And while thinking about living Brahman can be fun, even intellectually stimulating, in my experience such reflection doesn't do anything to put Brahman within my grasp.

If you had, you would have seen hundreds of posts from me over the years that positively *revel* in contradictions, including those in MMY's teaching. I've said many times I wished MMY would make more of the contradictions than he does. Barry and I have had many exchanges on this very topic, so it isn't as though he'd missed those posts. There is, of course, also a value to consistency, in its place. The irony here is that Barry is having trouble dealing with the apparent contradiction of someone valuing consistency, on the one hand, and valuing paradox, on the other. Yahoo!

You seem to be doing pretty well doing the latter so I wanted to be clearer on the benefits. And what the hell is Byron Katie sticking her nose in my business for? And does God only keep her nose in her business? Or does she put it in others' business? If you get a nose job, does it lessen your ability to stick your nose in others' business?

Clearly that doesn't work in reverse for you: sticking your nose in Judy's business doesn't appear to make you lonely or insecure. Do you get the same result when you stick your nose in God's business Listen here God, don't give me none of that It IS crap. This (whatever) should not be. I will not accept it. If I believed in a God, I am certain that I would have had such conversations with He/She/It. I know I am God because when I pray to him I find I'm talking to myself. - Peter Barnes I am only interested because I am sticking to my own business in trying to figure out what path I want to follow: keeping my nose in my business or sticking it both in other's and God's business. You seem to be doing pretty well doing the latter so I wanted to be clearer on the benefits. Point taken. Thanks. And what the hell is Byron Katie sticking her nose in my business for? Now *that's* funny! And does God only keep her nose in her business? Or does she put it in others' business? A good question, but one that I think is more appropriate for the Intelligent Design thread. If you get a nose job, does it lessen your ability to stick your nose in others' business? Another good question. Based solely on anecdotal experience with women whose lessened probosci seemed to have no effect on their sticking abilities, I would have to guess No. And what are those Nosers of Reality all about? I think Douglas Adams wrote about them in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Viltvodle VI is the home world of the small, blue, fifty-armed Jatravartids, who live in perpetual fear of what they refer to as The Coming of the Great White Handkerchief. This is their cosmology's version of the end of the Universe, and can be explained by the fact that they believe that the Universe was sneezed out by a creature called the Great Green Arkleseizure. Obviously, Nosers of Reality are those who believe in the religion of Viltvodle VI. They would not be caught dead getting a nose job because that would be considered defacing an image of God, and thus a mortal sin. I think Socrates nailed it when he said nose thyself. And look what happened to him. A hemlock margarita. But as I always say, what my girl friend doesn't nose won't hurt her. Did you know that what Johnny Depp wanted to do with his character of Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates movie was to have a blue nose? As he imagined it, Jack had had his nose cut off in a fight and then sewn back on. Unfortunately, the circulation was never fully restored, and as a result, Jack's nose was blue. Suffice it to say that Disney Studios was not as amused by this idea as I was, because the idea never made it to the screen. Reveal thy wisdom unto me. I wants to nose. O nobly born, thy question is worthy, and I shall expound upon it. Some teachers have said that the eyes are the window to the soul. I say that this is not true. The NOSE is the window to the soul. Is not the breath -- holy prana -- more subtle and refined that mere sight? Do you perform holy pranayama by poking your fingers in your eyes? (You don't have to answer that...it's not that kind of teaching.) Anyway, the nose is where it's at. If you want to know someone's soul, you have to look up their nose. Practice this simple exercise at home tonight, Grasshopper. Prepare a lovely candlelight dinner for your girlfriend, put on some soothing music, and tell her that you really want to know her soul. Then proceed to stare up her nose while performing pranayama on your own. Continue until enlightened or flattened by a good left hook. Thank you for consulting the Oracle.

[FairfieldLife] File - FFL Guidelines.txt
Guidelines File 05/21/05 Fairfield Life averages 100-150 posts a day; 300+ on peak days. To avoid having your inbox flooded, we suggest one of the following: 1) Opt to receive the emails, but create a folder in your email client and a rule to direct all FFL posts to that folder. 2) Choose the no emails option and read FFL in your browser. 3) Opt to receive the daily digest. 4) Create another email account solely for FFL posts. Yahoo now gives 1 GB for free. 5) You can also read FFL posts at http://www.mail-archive.com/fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com/. Some say this is faster than the Yahoo groups interface, and prefer it because at also allows sorting by thread. -- 1) This group has long maintained a thoughtful and considerate tone. Please refrain from personal attacks, insults and excessive venting. Speak the truth that is sweet is a worthy aspiration. If angry, take some time to gain composure before writing or pushing the send button. 2) Edit your posts and make them as concise and non-repetitive as possible. 3) Please be highly selective in quoting a message to which you are responding, deleting all but the most relevant portions of the prior posts. This makes the daily digest easier to read for those who subscribe to it. 4) Try to make clear to the reader if you are writing from the perspective of personal experience, from information gained from teachers or books, from your own thoughts, reasoning, logic or conjecture. Please cite sources where relevant. 5) Reference prior posts by their archive number whenever possible. 6) Anonymous posts are permitted. 7) FFL is a newsgroup public forum. FFL can be openly read from the web. Posting privileges are through membership only. Material published to FFL is not privileged or protected by law. Material published to FFL might be quoted and used elsewhere. 8) Make cross-posts from other sites only as they are highly relevant to this group. If you think another site has great value, write one post saying so, then let others join or go to that site on their own, at their discretion. 9) Only post links to other sites that are relevant references to the specific discussion at hand. 10) While friendly exchange between friends is natural, try to pass on personal messages via personal e-mail, refraining where possible from sending personal messages to the whole list. 11) Feel to invite your friends to join FFL, and to use the site's Promote feature on your websites. The broader the personal network, the greater the value to all. Friends may now access the posts of FFL directly off the home page without having to join the list. 12) Please don't post commercial announcements in the main message area. See the Database, Links and Files sections for folders that have been set up listing books, CDs, DVDs and other items for trade, a Fairfield ride board, local events, hiring/looking for work announcements, informative articles, useful, links, etc. 13) Discussions of politics that affect personal growth and world consciousness are allowed. However, be kind and respectful of others' viewpoints. Come with a humble heart, an open mind, and the desire to contribute constructively to everyone's broader awareness. 14) Keep in mind that many FFL members desire to maintain anonymity. If you happen to know a member's real name, perhaps because that member has mentioned it in a post or two, or just to you privately, please refer to that member only by the pseudonym. 15) If you want to make suggestions for the refinement of these guidelines, please place a text file with your suggestions in the Guidelines folder.

[FairfieldLife] Sathyam Bhruyath, Priyam Bhruyath, Na Bhruyath Sathyamapriyam
Sathyam Bhruyath, Priyam Bhruyath, Na Bhruyath Sathyamapriyam (speak truth, speak pleasantly and do not speak unpalatable truth). Sathyam Vada, Dharmam Chara (speak truth, practise righteousness). The Upanishads declare that food originates from Sathyam (Truth). It consists of three syllables - 'Sath', 'Ya' and 'M'. 'Sath' is life, 'Ya' represents food and 'M', the Sun. Sathyam does not mean merely to say out things as they are seen by the naked eye. The sun provides food which sustains life. The sun, food and life together constitute Sathyam. This is what I mean when I say that the creation emerges from truth and merges into truth. It is Sathyam that satisfies the hunger, gives strength to the body and in fact safeguards and sustains the whole world. This is the inner significance of the word Sathyam. This can be interpreted in a different way also. Sathya has three syllables in it - 'Sa', 'Tha', 'Ya'. If you read it from right to left, it becomes 'Ya', 'Tha', 'Sa', which means when one follows the path of Yama (control of senses) and Niyama (discipline), and performs Thapas (penance), that is, one has the vision of Sathya Swarupa (embodiment of Truth). Truth is God. Where is truth? It is all-pervasive. It encompasses the entire creation. Trikalabadhyam Sathyam (that which remains unchanged in the modes of perceived time -past, present and future is Truth). Truth is the power that one gets by strictly adhering to Yama and Niyama and performing penance. Such penance leads ultimately to the vision of God. Sathyam Jnanam Anantham Brahma (Brahman is the embodiment of truth, wisdom and eternity). Truth is wisdom. Advaita Darshanam Jnanam (perception of non-duality is wisdom). There is only one principle in this world and that is Truth. Wisdom is infinite. It is not mere textual knowledge. It has neither a beginning nor an end. Only by following the path of Truth one can experience wisdom. Truth is the essence of the Vedas. In fact, Truth is the origin of the Vedas. In this manner, if you enquire deeply, you will realise that Truth has a number of consistent interpretations. Sages and saints of yore considered Truth as their very life-breath. All types of wealth and comforts are present in Truth. Hence, truth is not an expression of worldly facts. In ancient times, saints and sages renounced everything and did severe penance to know the nature of truth. Truth is the very expression of Brahman. A deep enquiry reveals that 'Sath' is the fundamental basis of life. Without Sath, Chit (awareness) cannot exist. Sath is the positive power. Chit takes Sath as the basis for its functioning and hence it is not the fundamental principle. It is the complimentary negative in nature. When Sath, the positive, combines with Chit, what results is Ananda (bliss). Sath can also be compared to sugar and Chit, to water. When you add sugar to water, you get syrup. Likewise, Sath and Chit together give bliss. Where is God? In what form does He exist? Just as sugar is present in every drop of syrup, God pervades the entire creation. Sugar and syrup are inseparable. The same can be said of milk and butter. Similarly, God and the universe are inseparable. http://www.eaisai.com/baba/docs/d021014.html Yahoo!

The nightmarish images that fill Lynch's work, including the TV series Twin Peaks, seem a little inconsistent with either world peace or inner peace. Are these the visions one should expect from transcendental meditation? Not to worry, says Lynch. Artists mainly reflect the world they live in, he says. I like a story with conflict, and I like to go to another world. You don't become a goody-goody two shoes; you become more you - and a stronger and clearer you. Many who take up transcendental meditation work to rid themselves of bad habits, such as smoking. As the photo on Page D1 shows, Lynch feels no such obligations. Meditation merely increases your love, he says. And I just love smoking tobacco. Transcendental meditation doesn't mean taking things away; you just add it to your life. Things get better. Yahoo!

[FairfieldLife] The TMO buys an Island for the real United Nations
...but if you want to attend the celebration, reserve soon! The Skye Lodge (a motel, really) only has 49 rooms. There is a link to Skye Lodge below Neil's letter. (Maybe the pundits can get visas more easily to enter Canada than the US??? We'll see.) Global Country of World Peace Canadian Administrative Office Tel: 613-839-9393 Fax: 613-839-9394 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] September 29th, 2005 Dear Enlightened Canadians, It is a very great joy to invite you to the Inauguration of the ÎGlobal Parliament of World Peaceâ to be held on Vijaya Dashami Day, the auspicious Victory Day in the most ancient calendar--the Vedic Calendar-October 12th, 2005, on the land of the rising sun for North America, the Maharishi Island of World Peace, off the coast of Nova Scotia. The Inaugural sessions of the Global Parliament of World Peace will be held over a four day period from October 12th to October 16th, 2005 at the scenic Skye Lodge situated in the town of Port Hastings, Cape Breton, overlooking the Canso Causeway; a 2 1/2 hour drive from Halifax. The Maharishi Island of World Peace, which is to be the permanent seat of the Global Parliament of World Peace, is situated on the east coast of Nova Scotia near Skye Lodge. On October 12th we will hold a ceremony on the island to raise the flag of the Global Country of World Peace and break ground for the first building of the Global Parliament. This ceremony will include a special televised address from Maharishi and His Majesty Raja Raam, as well as Vedic recitation and an ancient ceremony of the indigenous Micmac Band to welcome the establishment of the Global Parliament of World Peace on their ancient lands. Following this ceremony there will be a royal banquet at Skye Lodge for everyone.. On the following days, October 13th through 16th, we will hold the inaugural sessions of the Global Parliament in the conference centre at Skye Lodge. These sessions will be presided over by Maharishi, Raja Raam and various leaders of the Global Country of World Peace in person or via video conferencing from Holland. They will include presentations of the philosophy and programs of the Global Parliament for creating world peace and the programs of the eight ministries of His Majesty Raja Raamsâ Global Peace Government- Education, Health, Law, Agriculture, Architecture and City Planning Science and Technology, Finance and Planning, Invincibility and World Peace. Sessions will also include presentations on the Canada Peace Government as well as the planned development of Maharishi Island of World Peace, which is to include a 200 room conference center for the Global Parliament, a University of World Peace campus for 200 students and facilities for 121 Vedic Pandits. These four days will also give us the opportunity to come together from all across Canada to create greater peace and harmony in national and world consciousness through our group practice of Maharishiâs Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programs. Recently, Maharishi proclaimed that the Global Parliament of World Peace we are founding in Canada will be the ÎReal United Nationsâ. He said, ÎWhen the existing United Nations is struggling to reform itself, it is abundantly clear to the world that it has utterly failed in its mission to create and maintain world peaceâ. Therefore, Maharishi said, Îtime demands the creation of a new global body that has the knowledge to create world peace and can truly unite the world.â Maharishi also expressed his wish that, ÎCanada, a true peace-loving nation, should be the host country for a ãNew United Nations of World Peaceä that is founded by the peace-loving people of all nationsâ. He said, ÎIf the USA can host a United Nations, why not Canada? North America is one continent, but if one half is bent on destruction in the world, let the other half create real peaceâ. Maharishi then stated, ÎThe purpose of the Global Parliament of World Peace is to present the Constitution of the Universe to the world and the training programs for every country to have their politicians and administrators trained in this absolute system of administration, under the parental role of our global administration, so that suffering and problems belong to no one and peace, harmony, happiness, and fulfillment dominate the daily life of the people everywhereâ. We are extremely fortunate and blessed that Maharishi and His Majesty Raja Raam have chosen Canada to be a permanent seat of the Global Parliament of World Peace. Therefore, the enlightened citizens of Canada are being invited from across the country to come and participate in the historic founding of this new global organization. In addition, representatives from every nation in the world are being invited to attend, as well as parliamentarians and members of the diplomatic community in Ottawa.

[FairfieldLife] Two peace palaces for Fairfield?
the only reason I can think of they would need two peace palaces would be if one was intended for women, other for men... On 30 September 2005 Maharishi University of Management Review reported: Campus residents at Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield, Iowa will soon see the start of construction of two Maharishi Peace Palaces. 'The Maharishi Peace Palaces will be a proper home for the pure knowledge so generously given to us for the past 50 years by Maharishi,' said Alexandria DeVasier, director of one of the Maharishi Peace Palaces for Fairfield. It is a joy for Global Good News service to feature this news, which indicates the success of the life-supporting programmes Maharishi has designed to bring fulfilment to the field of world-peace. Each Maharishi Peace Palace will be 12,000 square feet, built according to principles of Maharishi Vedic Architecture and situated on three acres of land, with celebration grounds in front of the building. They will have a white marble exterior. The construction will be done in phases over the next six months. Ms DeVasier said the Peace Palaces 'will offer over 50 programmes, courses, services, and products in the new buildings'. These will include MAPI products, books, a day spa, residence course rooms, and more. 'These Maharishi Peace Palaces are a profound gift from Maharishi that will preserve the legacy of the knowledge of enlightenment and perfect health for all generations to come,' Ms DeVasier said. 'Establishing Maharishi Peace Palaces in Fairfield and Maharishi Vedic City will bring a wave of coherence to change the negative trends throughout the United States.'

[FairfieldLife] The Dark side of the Moon
The dark side of the moon By Robert L. Park The New York Times THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2005 COLLEGE PARK, Maryland This week NASA described plans to return astronauts to the moon in 2018 at a cost of $104 billion. That's nine years after President George W. Bush leaves office. Starting from scratch in 1961, President John F. Kennedy's commitment to put a man on the moon and return him safely to Earth was realized in just eight years. What is going on? The Apollo 11 moon landing on July 16, 1969, transcended the superpower struggle for world domination that had motivated it. People everywhere were awed by what was above all an inspiring demonstration of human achievement. Could lunar colonies, expeditions to Mars and even the stars be far behind? Just three years later, however, as the war in Southeast Asia drained American resources, the era of human space exploration abruptly ended. In 36 years, no human has ventured beyond the relative safety of low-Earth orbit. Who could have imagined, on that magic night in the summer of 1969, that the moon might be as far into space as humans would ever go? On the 20th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, President George H.W. Bush spoke from the steps of the National Air and Space Museum in Washington. The president called for a return to the moon and for a human expedition to Mars. "Like Columbus," he said, "we dream of distant shores we've not yet seen." George W. Bush seems driven to complete his father's unfinished business in space, as in Iraq. But much has changed. The Cold War, which provided the initial motivation for America's space program, is long gone. And technological progress has superseded human space exploration. Remotely controlled instruments have become natural extensions of frail human bodies. Much of what we yearn to discover in space is inaccessible to humans. Astronauts on Mars, locked in their spacesuits, could not venture far from shelter amid the constant bombardment of energetic particles that are unscreened by the thin atmosphere. Beyond Mars, there is no place humans can go in the foreseeable future. The great adventure of the 21st century will be to explore where no human can possibly set foot. The great quest is to find life to which we are not related. Could nature have solved the problem of life in some other way, in some other place? When we find out, we will know much more about ourselves. Two mechanical geologists, Spirit and Opportunity, are doing this even now, by searching for evidence of water on opposite sides of Mars. They don't break for lunch or complain about the cold nights, and they live on sunshine. They've been at it for nearly two years, yet their mission costs less than sending a shuttle to the International Space Station. The brains of Spirit and Opportunity are the brains of geologists back on Earth. Progress in society is measured by the extent to which work that is dangerous or menial is done by machines. The benefits we enjoy from the space program - weather satellites, communications satellites and global positioning - come from robotic spacecraft. Few scientists are calling for a human mission to the moon or Mars. Human space exploration is essentially over. It is too expensive and provides too little return. But politicians know that the American public identifies progress in space with human astronauts. The Bush administration's solution is to create an impossibly expensive and pointless program for some other administration to cancel, thus bearing the blame for ending human space exploration. The return to the moon is not a noble quest. It is a poison pill. Yahoo! for Good Click here to donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort.

[FairfieldLife] The Details of Vedic Cognition- Transcript
The Details of Vedic Cognition Dr Hagelin: It is very clear and very practical, in terms of what to do to prevent job-related stress, boredom-induced stress: eliminate boredom by diving into the evolutionary flow of life, expanding towards infinity, and achieving the goal of life. It is a beautiful answer, Maharishi. The last question is a deep one about the details of Vedic cognition. Last week, Maharishi spoke of the deep mechanics of cognition of the wholeness of the Veda by the Rishis of ancient India. Maharishi said every Rishi sees the Veda, the Constitution of the Universe, in one syllable A, which contains within it all the details of the Veda. My question is: Do these details of the Veda include the individual recommendations for diet, herbal remedies, sound therapies, and purification procedures that are available in Ayurveda, or the precise mathematical calculations for proper layout of a building that are found in Sthapatya Veda? Did all these details of these different branches of the Veda also originate in the original cognitions of the ancient Vedic Rishisthe cognitions of A? Or were they developed subsequently by commentators at a later time? Maharishi: No, when we say later time, time emerges from there [laughter]. Time emerges from there. About A: it is like when you see the moon. When you see the moon, you are seeing the moon, seeing the moon. Then what happens is, when you are seeing the moon, seeing the moon, seeing the moon, what is inside the moon begins to come into visionwhat is inside. Then what is inside that, comes out; what is inside that, comes out; what is inside that, comes out. That is the situation about cognition of A. A is a total syllable. A is said to beA isSarva Vak. Sarva Vak means total speech. A is total speech. When you see it, you get so absorbed in it. In the seeing process, the process of seeing takes the seer to the sight. Now you want to see, you see A. You are here, A is somewhere in front. You see. So the seer jumps out of his own eyes; from the eyes, he reaches the sight, and then brings the sight to the eyes. This is the process of seeingthe sight comes out and occupies the seer. The sight becomes the seer. When the sight becomes the seer, then the sight, which is A, is no more in the vision. What is in the vision is A, which has become the seer, and what was inside A remains a sight. Then, in turn, the same thing happens: something that was there inside A jumps out of A, jumps out from within A, and again occupies the seer. So all the time, the sight becomes the seer, and then the seer sees something elsewhat was beneath it. This process of seeing, in itself, is so unfolding that it unfolds whatever is inside, and keeps on unfolding, keeps on unfolding, keeps on unfolding. Immediately, in the second evolvement of A, is a gap. There is a gap, because the sight becomes the seer, and inside the sight, it becomes the new sight. The new sight becomes the seer, the new sight. Then the whole A, seen like that, brings to sight complete emptiness, which is the last reality of A. A, entering into it, entering into it, entering into it, and then there is nothing to see: it is emptinessA. It is that emptiness, the total abstraction, which is within a point. Within a point is that total abstraction, unmanifest, transcendental reality. When seeing A, the process of seeing presents, ultimately, something that is transcendental. That is emptiness, a big zero. What is this big zero? It is emptiness of A. It is no more A; it is complete absence of A, the totality of A in the unmanifest. This is the cognition of the VedaAk. When the A ends, then there is the gap there. And then, after the gap, comes out to be Ka. Ka is a Kan. Kan means the point. So from the wholeness to nothingness. Nothingness is the gap. The gap after A is nothingness. From the total value of speech, A to the end of A, this is cognition of A. A cognized means the Totality cognized. What was there when the Totality was cognized? There was no Totality; there was the basis of Totality, the shadow of Totality. The unmanifestlike the hollowness of the banyan seedis there. The hollowness is there. That hollowness is called the Sandhi. Sandhi is the gap. In the whole Vedic Literature, in the whole flow of the Veda, there is a word and there is a gap; there is a word and a gap, and a word and a gap, and a word and a gap. So when Rishi Madhuchhandas saw Veda, he saw A, and he saw unmanifest A. Then he saw some other words, and then he saw the unmanifest of that, and he saw some other words, and he saw the unmanifest of that. This whole run of the Veda is the run of Totality into emptinesswholeness, emptiness, nothingness, gap. This first word and the gap, word and the gaptwoare involved in presenting the definition of the Veda. Veda means

[FairfieldLife] Peter Sutphen has passed away.
A moment of silence please as it has come to our attention that Peter Sutphen has passed away. We deeply regret his passing and lament his once bright but now faded light... Anyone posing as Peter Sutphen on this group, should be ignored as we know it is a scam and shameless, dishonoring his memory. OffWorld Yahoo!
