[FairfieldLife] Subconscious saMyama-like control of sound?

2005-10-31 Thread cardemaister


Don't know whether this anecdote is true, but:
B.B.King once asked Hendrix something like:
"Where do all these sounds [of his Strat,
and stuff] come from?" Hendrix had replied:
"I don't know!"
Perhaps sometime in the 80's or 90's, Mike
Bloomfield, or some such guy, told on a 
TV documentary, that he still hasn't figured
out how Hendrix created some of the weird
sounds without that much effect gadgetry
(just Octavia, fuzz-box and wah-wah, in
addition to creative use of feed-back?).
I've often thought if it was possible that 
Jimi's intensive emotions during playing
somehow could "distort" the sounds without
his conscious effort to do so... naah!

---OriginalMessage--
  Deepavali - the Festival of Lights
  
  India is a land of festivals where you will see at least one major festival 
each
month. Deepavali (or Diwali) which literally means "rows of lamps" is one of the
four main festivals of India. Throughout the world all Hindus celebrate 
Deepavali or
Diwali with great pomp and enthusiasm.

  The celebration of Diwali lasts six days, beginning on the 12th day of the 
month
of Kartik (as per the North Indian lunar calendar). The day before Diwali, in 
order
to evoke the grace of God, women fast. It is not that God wants you to go 
hungry or
takes pleasure in your suffering - the principle is that you gain only by 
giving up.
That evening, devotees worship Gomata (the cow) and her calf and feed them 
special
food. Women pray for the welfare of the entire family. This holy day is called
Vasubaras. 

  The first official day of Diwali falls on the 13th of Kartik. People set about
cleaning houses and shops, and decorating doorsteps and courtyards with rangoli 
or
multi-coloured designs. They purchase gold ornaments, new vessels, clothes, and
other such items. Devotees arise early in the morning before sunrise and take 
oil
baths. If possible, they wear new clothes. In the evening, people worship coins
representing wealth. Houses and courtyards glow from the lights, and families
decorate with lanterns. This day of celebration is called Dhantrayodashi or
Dhanteras. 

  The second day is called Naraka Chaturdashi. People take an oil bath in the 
early
morning and then in the night they light lamps and burn firecrackers. People 
visit
their relatives and friends, exchanging love and sweets. 

  On the third day, people worship Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth. People 
decorate
their houses with lit lamps and lanterns to welcome Lakshmi to their home and
hearts. On this day businessmen close old accounts and open new accounts. The 
earth
is lit up by lamps and the skies are coloured by the multi-hued lights of 
fireworks.


  In North India, the Govardhana Puja occurs on the fourth day of Diwali. 
Devotees
in the North build hillocks made of cow dung, symbolising Govardhana, and 
decorate
and worship them. North Indians observe this day as Annakoot, or the mountain of
food.

  The fifth day of the festival called Bhaiyya Dooj celebrates unique and fun
customs. Every man dines in his sister's house, and, in return, presents her 
with
gifts. North India calls it Yama Dwitiya. Thousands of brothers and sisters join
hands and have a sacred bath in the river Yamuna.

The Legends 
Dhanteras 
The scriptures mention the divinity called Dhanvantari emerging from the 
churning of
the ocean with a kalash (pot) filled with Amrit (ambrosia). Due to the fact that
Dhanvantari, who revealed the science of Ayurveda to the world, first 
manifested on
this day, all over India, doctors following the Ayurvedic system of medicine
organise joyful celebrations of the annual Dhanvantari festival. 

  Naraka Chaturdashi
  There is a legend about a king of Prag-Jyotishpur, named Narakasura. He was a
powerful king who misused power to harass his subjects. Sri Krishna destroyed 
this
oppressive asura king on this day. Unjustly imprisoned people celebrated their
freedom with friends and family. The citizens celebrated deliverance from
Narkasura's reign by lighting lamps.

  Sri Rama
  Deepavali falls on a no-moon day - in fact the darkest day of the year. The
illuminations and fireworks, joy and festivities, are to signify the victory of
divine forces over the powers of darkness. On Deepavali day, triumphant Sri 
Rama is
said to have returned to Ayodhya after defeating Ravana, the asura king of 
Lanka.

  Goddess Lakshmi Devi The Puranas say that it was on this day that Goddess 
Lakshmi,
who emerged from the churning of the ocean of milk, married Lord Vishnu, the
repository of all divine qualities. 

  Govardhana Puja
  In order to shelter the gopis and gopas and their cows from the torrential 
rains
sent by Indra, Krishna lifted a hill near Mathura called Govardhana with his 
finger
and sheltered all the people for a period of seven days under it. By then Indra 
saw
Krishna's greatness and asked him for forgiveness.

  Bhaiyya Dooj 
  The river Yamuna and Yama the God of Death were brother and sister. As they 
grew
up they went their different ways. On this day Yama supposedly visited his 
sister
Yamuna, who in her joy at seeing her brother after such a long interlude set up 
a
feast for him. Pleased, Yama granted her a boon. He declared that every man that
receives a tilak or vermilion mark on the forehead from his sister and presents 
her
with lovely gifts on this day would attain higher worlds.

I suspect Hagelin would have been directly referring to the U.S. 
Constitution, Judy.  And the reason is because it would have been in 
the context of what MMY was talking about at that time, which was 
constitutions of man and nature. That, coupled with the fact that 
the U.S. is deemed as corrupt in all shapes and forms by MMY, and 
one could see how Hagelin very well could have referred to the U.S. 
Constitution in such a manner.

Of course, I agree with you that it's hard to see how the U.S. 
Constitution could be portrayed as corrupt.

[FairfieldLife] TM Introduction

2005-10-31 Thread Rick Archer

Title: TM Introduction

*Subject:* TM Introduction

Dr. Director of the TM Peace Palace Project:

I hardly know how to begin other than to express my extreme disappointment
and disillusionment over the introduction to the practice of TM and the
potential of a Peace Palace being built here in our city.

Your presentation was something right out of an L Ron Hubbard Dianetics
seminar.

I have had the TM web sight book marked quite some time. I have read about
the meditative benefits and life changing opportunities on the web site, in
many periodicals, most recently an article on meditation in my latest Yoga
Journal. I have been reading about the quest that David Lynch has taken up
and had thought it most noble.

The total lack of altruism, and I believe misrepresentation, of your
promotion of the TM practice and the Peace Palace is outrageously incredible
and severely naïve for a group that promotes "Enlightenment". I believe you
will find our city much more enlightened than your group took our community
for.

I speak only for myself and Terri – but we have achieved a level of
enlightenment through our separate searching's and readings and life choices
and in our coming together to share and explore and meditate through many
outlets – that I am quite embarrassed by your elementary attempt to reach
out to the community under the guise of 'science meets enlightenment and
world peace' at the low, low cost of $2500.

There are other true Vedic teachers and others of many followings and
beliefs, who teach, train mentor and guide to be found in the world who do
so out of an inner desire to share and to love and to help and all they
require in return is the possibility and potential of those that seek them
and that come after.

I find it hard to express succinctly exactly how I feel.

I will be commenting on the TM web site and I will write to the editor of my
Yoga Journal and pass on my experience with this introduction to the TM
practice, and I will pass on to anyone who expresses an interest in the
Peace Palace that, yes, it may be coming and may be available to
anyone who is willing to pay.

REPLY:

e-Conversation with someone who came to my intro last night. Please don't forward to anyone without first removing my name and address. I've changed the names to protect the innocent.

Hi Alice,

Thanks for coming to the intro and for your candid if somewhat searing critique of our programs and presentation. I was going to call you to get your feedback to see if it concurred with my intuition of your reception - that you (and Terri) were "turned off" by the price of instruction--$2500.

Is that correct? I'm sorry that I wasn't able to overcome that objection and it's a BIG objection, the dichotomy between what's commonly taken for spirituality and materialism. This has even divided people in our organization--I know several TM teachers who have refused to teach at this rate. I'm curious to know at what price point your objection would drop and you would begin the practice, as you indicate that you think it would be good to learn the Transcendental Meditation technique, with its "meditative benefits and life changing opportunities".

Thanks for taking the time to write this fairly long and thoughtful e-mail. I think we can respect each other's opinions and feelings--and if I can't "convert" you--that we can nevertheless, 'agree to disagree' (excuse the cliche') and maybe yet become friends? Ultimately we want the same things for ourselves, our families and even our country, don't we? Perfect health, peace, prosperity, happiness, and the 24 hour bliss of Brahman (Unity) Consciousness? In that respect are we not comrades rather than adversaries?

As I have never been to one, I'll have to take your word for the Dianetics thing and take it as a complement? And I agree that this city is a wonderful place with a lot of highly intelligent and creative people, but I'll disagree with your use of the term "enlightened," reserving that for a specific state of human consciousness that increasingly can be verified by its physiological correlates--brain functioning primarily but many others as well. The terms enlightened and enlightenment, like the co-opting of mantra and pundit, have come to mean something much less than their original meanings. So when I use the term I will capitalize it and use it to mean one or all of the 5th thru 7th states that I presented last night--Cosmic, God and Unity Consciousness. To try to improve our communications (assuming if I may, that we will hopefully continue them), I will tell you that my understanding of Cosmic Consciousness is that this is the state somewhat commonly referred to as Nirvana, i.e., that there are two more states of consciousness beyond that.

The sword of materiality cuts both ways, Alice, and from my side of this apparent line you've drawn between us in the virtual sand of cyberspace, I can reflect the charge of materialism back to yo

Just as I said. Hawking didn't say that black holes don't exist. He 
said he was wrong about them being perfect information-sinks.
