At the preparatory lecture, I always used to say the mantras were sounds the effects of which are known, or words selected for their sound quality, or something like that. I never said, meaningless sounds and I wonder whether using that phrase was ever an official instruction. It's a very unfortunate phrase, in my opinion. Whatever associations they may have in Hinduism, as they're used in TM they're semantically meaningless sounds. Meaningless, but the bija mantras are fundamentally connected with Devatas, and these Devatas are instrumental in producing the effects that result from meditating with their mantras. I know all the names of gods stuff from Trancenet, but that's just inaccurate. At most, they're sounds that are associated with gods in Hinduism. But if you regard Hinduism as anything more than a mythological tradition, then you might acknowledge that it's colorful depictions of gods and goddesses might represent actual celestial entities who are powerful governors of nature's mechanics. But even Hindus who are taught TM are told to treat the mantra as pure sound during meditation (at least that's what I was told by a long-time TM teacher who did a lot of initiations in India way back when). Hindus who are taught TM in India are asked who their cherished deity is, and on that basis their mantra is chosen. Are you certain of this? If you want to get all esoteric about it, the mantras are in some sense devas, but then you have to get into the whole Nama-rupa thing and how Sanskrit syllables aren't symbolic, like regular language; they don't *stand for* things, they *are* things. And if you're going to say mantras are gods, well, you gotta first believe in gods. I'm a lot happier with impulses of creative intelligence, myself.

So the practice of TM is the same for all practitioners, Hindu or not, although Hindus are certainly entitled to think about their practice or anything else the way they want to outside of the practice of TM.

After so many nights of the same bedroom and the same bed it is all the same, all the same. After a while one just shuts it down. Deep sleep is preferable to total boredom. Spend weeks, months and years being aware of your intimate surroundings and see how long before you shut it down. TOm The boredom can be avoided by starting actively in the deep restful meditative state to pay attention to one's energies. You just observe if a tiny little feeling of anxiety or some tension can be recognized somewhere in the body. Almost always it is the case at least for me. Then I let my attention just rest on the felt anxiety or tension. Often gradually the sensation starts to change its character, and finally fear or some other heavy emotion emerges. At that point it is important to draw the attention away from the object of one's fear and instead focus on feeling the fear itself and where it could be located in the body. This way not a minute is boring. The only problem is that sometimes the hullabaloo can get too intense. Deep breathing can be helpful then. If even that doesn't help, I have gradually figured out some other means to control and work through the situation. I need maybe 4 hours deep sleep a night; the rest of the time goes on like this mostly. I spend in bed about 9 hours. Only occasionally I sleep normally the whole night. I feel equally good on the daytime both ways, but I very much prefer the processing because a lot of healing happens that way. When I do this processing during the nights I may feel I'm fully awake, but that's not actually the case. If I go in between the processing to the loo, often only the other eye opens up.

[FairfieldLife] FWD Mother Meera to Visit America
Late breaking news: FWD: Mother Meera in America U.S.A. and Canada: May 19-June 12, 2006 7-9 pm Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday Mother Meera, is making her first trip to the US since 1981. She will give darshan in silence for up to 250 people each evening. There is no charge. Reservations are required and will be taken by email and by phone by Mother Meera's American team. Children are not allowed to come. They receive Mother's blessings through their parents. Visitors should be able to sit quietly for about two hours. The outward form of darshan is this: People sit before Mother Meera in silence with eyes open or closed. One by one they approach Mother Meera for personal darshan. Each one kneels before her [pranam] so she can hold their head. When she lets go, the person sits back on their heels and looks into Mother's eyes while she looks back into theirs. This moment has all the time in the world in it. People who can't kneel, sit in a chair in front of Mother. Those in wheelchairs may also approach Mother. Mother says: During pranam the work is on the deep aspect of the being, the soul, while darshan [looking] helps the personality and the life situation. Mother also says: I have come to say that all paths are as good as each other and all lead to the Divine, and that therefore various believers should respect each other's ways Mother Meera seldom sees visitors outside of darshan. She doesn't lecture, nor does she have a movement or an ashram. Mother currently gives darshan in Schaumburg, Germany. Contact information: Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] to express interest in Mother Meera's darshan and to be put on the email list for early notification of Mother's exact itinerary and reservation details.

At the preparatory lecture, I always used to say the mantras were sounds the effects of which are known, or words selected for their sound quality, or something like that. I never said, meaningless sounds and I wonder whether using that phrase was ever an official instruction. It's a very unfortunate phrase, in my opinion. Whatever associations they may have in Hinduism, as they're used in TM they're semantically meaningless sounds. Meaningless, but the bija mantras are fundamentally connected with Devatas, They *are* devatas. and these Devatas are instrumental in producing the effects that result from meditating with their mantras. I know all the names of gods stuff from Trancenet, but that's just inaccurate. At most, they're sounds that are associated with gods in Hinduism. But if you regard Hinduism as anything more than a mythological tradition, then you might acknowledge that it's colorful depictions of gods and goddesses might represent actual celestial entities who are powerful governors of nature's mechanics. Well, I have my own ideas of what they represent. But even Hindus who are taught TM are told to treat the mantra as pure sound during meditation (at least that's what I was told by a long-time TM teacher who did a lot of initiations in India way back when). Hindus who are taught TM in India are asked who their cherished deity is, and on that basis their mantra is chosen. And that contradicts what I said how? If you want to get all esoteric about it, the mantras are in some sense devas, but then you have to get into the whole Nama-rupa thing and how Sanskrit syllables aren't symbolic, like regular language; they don't *stand for* things, they *are* things. And if you're going to say mantras are gods, well, you gotta first believe in gods. I'm a lot happier with impulses of creative intelligence, myself. Just a Western phrase Maharishi chose to make a Hindu concept seem more scientific. Or perhaps not. Perhaps impulses of creative intelligence is the more accurate description for the abstract celestial entities or forces which in Hinduism are metaphorically represented by colorful gods and goddesses, and which are actually aspects of our own consciousness. Remember that MMY also refers to devata as process of knowing, that which connects Knower and known, or rather which *creates* what is known. The Knower knows the known into being, devata being the creative agency. I believe the mythological aspects of religions generally are metaphors for highly abstract components of reality--of the mechanics of consciousness--rather than personal beings. Not that they can't take the form of personal beings, of course. But their essence is vastly more abstract, I think. very beautiful... c o r r e c t ! This meditation is a royal gift to relative forms of creation. Mantra by itself - meaningless. However, Mantra in the mind leads to creation of divine in the mind. Mantra's effects are known. A meaningless sound whose effects are known. What is the significance of this? Everything ! The joy of interconnectedness of divinity with relativity results during meditation, when mantra flows in the awareness of mind. What a wonderful role devata, via mantra, plays for all of creation. Relative diversity in creation exists on so many physical levels, and so many layers of diverse intellect-driven thoughts distinguish subtle differences in mental forms. Meditation, mantra, devata, and mind merge divinity into the awareness of the meditator. How fortunate we are to gain direct experience of divine realms as our mind is immersed in divinity. How fortunate for Divinity that a vehicle, devata, via mantra, exists with which divinity can cross into relative realms, and bless the relative. How fortunate for Divinity that it can comingle with relativity via devata and mantra, and share its infinity with relativity. It must happen. It must happen. The gulf has been too wide for too long between divinity and relativity. Devata is special for its function, by which the mind is immersed in divinity, infinity, harmony, love, etcetera. The relative world is more divine, infinite, harmonious and loving following meditation. A simple sound without meaning...whose effects are known.

He's tolerated much of the same stupidity from the TMO most have and still he wants to teach and do so at reasonable prices. I'm not surprized to read that the movement representatives have threatened him. I've read from many on this list that such fear tactics continue. I salute Farrokh because he has the desire to side-step the limos, rajas, bagpipes, etc and continue making TM available in it's simplicity. With the support of the judges in St. Louis and Farrokh's legal background, with the success of his project and determination to succeed where other's have not, I think Farokh might be just what the movement needs right now - a way out! How many intelligent movement leaders really believe deep down that the current policies have merit? In their quiet moments, are they so brainwashed that they don't hear another voice saying what if this is wrong? If Farrokh has something to say maybe it's time he be given a real chance to say it. He wants to teach anybody, he doesn't want to overcharge them and he believes teachers need to make a living. First teachers are taught to teach then they are told they can not, and if they do so outside the TMO guidelines, they will incur bad karma and possible 'legal action'.

Mantras reveal their form based on the Bijavrksa Nyaya, the Law of Seed and Tree. Eventually the seed you use to meditate becomes the tree (the universe as devata). I like the quote that Paul Mason shares of Swami Brahmananda Saraswati where he say something to the effect that eventually your whole experience becomes your devata..everywhere you look, the universe if your devata.

From old TM friend Cary Baer: -- Forwarded Message From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sat, 5 Nov 2005 11:00:42 EST To: undisclosed-recipients:; Subject: Cary in Time Magazine Dear Friend: As you may know, I have been having fun for a few years doing a stand-up metaphysical comedy show called The Lost Teachings of the Oy Veda. It's an act in which I channel (wink wink) a 4,000-year-old swami called The Wise Guy. (My elementary school teachers always told my mother at parent/teacher conferences, Mrs. Bayer, Cary is an excellent student but I wish he'd stop making the other students laugh and disrupt my teaching of the class. He's really quite a wise guy.So I suppose the character has been in the making since my childhood.) I get to do my Indian accent and have a ball. Thank God...audiences have as well. Recently, Time magazine got wind of him/me and included a paragraph write-up in a 3-page story, That's Funny! that they're running in their November 7 issue. It's about people in their middle years and beyond who've scratched an itch in their funny bone to do stand-up professionally for the first time. (I guess they consider a 4,000-year-old as part of the middle years.) It's on page F1 in a bonus section called Generations. Or you can find it online as well at the address below. http://www.time.com/time/generations/article/0,9171,1124318,00.html If you'd like him/me to perform at an event that you're planning, just let me know.

[FairfieldLife] NYT - Upstart Comedians Goofing on Andy [Kaufman]
Title: NYT - Upstart Comedians Goofing on Andy [Kaufman] http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/03/arts/03come.html November 3, 2005 Upstart Comedians Goofing on Andy By PETER KEEPNEWS As befits a city often considered the world comedy capital, the second annual New York Comedy Festival - which began Tuesday and runs through the weekend - is heavy on big names, most of them more familiar from television than the club circuit: Denis Leary http://movies2.nytimes..com/gst/movies/filmography.html?p_id=41244amp;inline=nyt-per , D. L. Hughley, Joy Behar, Mario Cantone, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. As befits a city where comedians come to be discovered, it also has its share of lesser-known names, mostly performing in support of the stars. And as befits a city where Andy Kaufman http://movies2.nytimes.com/gst/movies/filmography.html?p_id=37092amp;inline=nyt-per got his start, it has a grown man acting like a hyperactive boy who thinks the audience members are guests at his birthday party, as well as a woman who, explaining that she is too sick to talk, lip-syncs her act to a recording of her own voice. Those performers, Ryan Flynn and Charlyne Yi, are among the eight finalists competing tonight at Carolines on Broadway, one of the festival's producers (the City of New York is also involved), for the Andy Kaufman Award. First presented last year, the award is for the performer who best reflects Kaufman's originality, humor and courage and who most forcefully breaks the barriers of conventional stand-up comedy. The competition is both an answer to the question Where are the new weirdos coming from? and a sign that Kaufman, once known as an iconoclast, has become an icon. Larry C. Morris/The New York Times Andy Kaufman I was a big fan of his from the first time I saw him perform as a stand-up, said Mr. Leary, the star and creator of the acclaimed FX series Rescue Me who returns to his comedy roots tomorrow night at Avery Fisher Hall. He was just so off the wall. There was always an aspect of 'Where is this going?' He was one of those people who had what I call a secret evil plan - the guy's performing, but you don't know exactly how you're supposed to react. What he did is hard to do; it takes a lot of commitment.. It's also hard to define. Kaufman was the comedian who wrestled women. Who disguised himself as an oafish lounge singer and was his own opening act. Who first attracted attention in comedy clubs by pretending to be a meek, confused soul with a vague accent who couldn't tell a joke to save his life, before suddenly morphing into a formidable Elvis imitator. Who played a range of roles, onstage and off, but never, ever broke character. He was such a master of the put-on that although he died of lung cancer 21 years ago, some Kaufman devotees are still not convinced he's really dead. Whether he was even a comedian remains debatable; he once said that he considered himself a song-and-dance man. (Oddly, Bob Dylan http://movies2.nytimes.com/gst/movies/filmography.html?p_id=88557amp;inline=nyt-per said the same thing about himself.) George Shapiro, Kaufman's manager and one of the forces behind the Andy Kaufman Award, recalled an argument he had with his client: He wanted to do a 'bombing routine,' a routine so bad that everybody walks out. He wanted to do eight minutes of terrible jokes - jokes that weren't even jokes - that would have people booing, people walking out. I said, 'You can't do that.' We negotiated. I finally persuaded him to keep it to two minutes. Kaufman's younger brother, Michael, 54, a financial consultant and former stand-up who was the M.C. and a judge at the semifinals Tuesday night, agreed that his brother did not like being called a comedian. His explanation: Andy saying he was not a comedian was just protecting himself, so if he didn't get a laugh he could say, 'It's not supposed to be funny.' But let's face it, he liked it when people laughed. The official criteria for judging the contest, in fact, break things down mathematically: 60 percent based on originality and courage, 40 percent on humor. The prize is $5,000, courtesy of Stanley Kaufman, 83, Andy's father, who organized the first contest with Mr. Shapiro and Caroline Hirsch of Carolines. Both are judges, along with Susie Essman of Curb Your Enthusiasm; Bill Zehme, author of a Kaufman biography; and Kaufman's sister, Carol Kerman. Everyone involved emphasizes that the idea is to celebrate Kaufman's fearlessness and his anything-goes approach, rather than to find a performer with a similar act. (It's really about finding the essence of Andy, Ms. Hirsch explained. The wackiness, the off-the-cuff creativity. The shock value.) Nonetheless, last year's winner, Suzanne Whang seemed more than a little Kaufmanesque. Born in Virginia to South Korean parents, she does stand-up as Sung Hee Park, a nervous Korean immigrant with limited English who has apparently learned her entire act phonetically without realizing that

[FairfieldLife] Unlimited fuel source?
http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/story/0,3605,1627424,00.html Fuel's paradise? Power source that turns physics on its head · Scientist says device disproves quantum theory · Opponents claim idea is result of wrong maths Alok Jha, science correspondent Friday November 4, 2005 The Guardian It seems too good to be true: a new source of near-limitless power that costs virtually nothing, uses tiny amounts of water as its fuel and produces next to no waste. If that does not sound radical enough, how about this: the principle behind the source turns modern physics on its head. Randell Mills, a Harvard University medic who also studied electrical engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, claims to have built a prototype power source that generates up to 1,000 times more heat than conventional fuel. Independent scientists claim to have verified the experiments and Dr Mills says that his company, Blacklight Power, has tens of millions of dollars in investment lined up to bring the idea to market. And he claims to be just months away from unveiling his creation. The problem is that according to the rules of quantum mechanics, the physics that governs the behaviour of atoms, the idea is theoretically impossible. Physicists are quite conservative. It's not easy to convince them to change a theory that is accepted for 50 to 60 years. I don't think [Mills's] theory should be supported, said Jan Naudts, a theoretical physicist at the University of Antwerp. What has much of the physics world up in arms is Dr Mills's claim that he has produced a new form of hydrogen, the simplest of all the atoms, with just a single proton circled by one electron. In his hydrino, the electron sits a little closer to the proton than normal, and the formation of the new atoms from traditional hydrogen releases huge amounts of energy. This is scientific heresy. According to quantum mechanics, electrons can only exist in an atom in strictly defined orbits, and the shortest distance allowed between the proton and electron in hydrogen is fixed. The two particles are simply not allowed to get any closer. According to Dr Mills, there can be only one explanation: quantum mechanics must be wrong. We've done a lot of testing. We've got 50 independent validation reports, we've got 65 peer-reviewed journal articles, he said. We ran into this theoretical resistance and there are some vested interests here. People are very strong and fervent protectors of this [quantum] theory that they use. Rick Maas, a chemist at the University of North Carolina at Asheville (UNC) who specialises in sustainable energy sources, was allowed unfettered access to Blacklight's laboratories this year. We went in with a healthy amount of scepticism. While it would certainly be nice if this were true, in my position as head of a research institution, I really wouldn't want to make a mistake. The last thing I want is to be remembered as the person who derailed a lot of sustainable energy investment into something that wasn't real. But Prof Maas and Randy Booker, a UNC physicist, left under no doubt about Dr Mill's claims. All of us who are not quantum physicists are looking at Dr Mills's data and we find it very compelling, said Prof Maas. Dr Booker and I have both put our professional reputations on the line as far as that goes. Dr Mills's idea goes against almost a century of thinking. When scientists developed the theory of quantum mechanics they described a world where measuring the exact position or energy of a particle was impossible and where the laws of classical physics had no effect. The theory has been hailed as one of the 20th century's greatest achievements. But it is an achievement Dr Mills thinks is flawed. He turned back to earlier classical physics to develop a theory which, unlike quantum mechanics, allows an electron to move much closer to the proton at the heart of a hydrogen atom and, in doing so, release the substantial amounts of energy he seeks to exploit. Dr Mills's theory, known as classical quantum mechanics and published in the journal Physics Essays in 2003, has been criticised most publicly by Andreas Rathke of the European Space Agency. In a damning critique published recently in the New Journal of Physics, he argued that Dr Mills's theory was the result of mathematical mistakes. Dr Mills argues that there are plenty of flaws in Dr Rathke's critique. His paper's riddled with mistakes. We've had other physicists contact him and say this is embarrassing to the journal and [Dr Rathke] won't respond, said Dr Mills. While the theoretical tangle is unlikely to resolve itself soon, those wanting to exploit the technology are pushing ahead. We would like to understand it from an academic standpoint and then we would like to be able to use the implications to actually produce energy products, said Prof Maas. The companies that are lining up behind this are

Power source that turns physics on its head · Scientist says device disproves quantum theory · Opponents claim idea is result of wrong maths Alok Jha, science correspondent Friday November 4, 2005 The Guardian From hydrino YG: From: smenton [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Fri Nov 4, 2005 0:58am Subject: Re: New article on BLP smenton I finally got a hold of the Focus article. I am not able to link it, but it is certainly worth tracking down. It is a pretty general overview and the author tries very hard to remain objective. A lot of the article will be familiar to those who have been following even moderately closely. One of the most interesting aspects of the article is the public affirmation of more independent replications of BLP's results and quotes from some of the scientists who have performed some of the recent replications. The article includes the following: Mills has published a host of papers detailing his theory of hydrinos in serious research journals. Meanwhile, independent investigators have carried out experiments to test his claims and replicated them . Professor Rick Maas of the University of North Carolina, whose name has not, to my recollection, surfaced on this Bd before, is quoted extensively in the article. The article describes his involvement as follows: [BLP] claim[s] to have triggered the creation of hydrino states by heating hydrogen until it turns into a plasma and adding catalysts, releasing energy much greater than predicted using standard theory. Once again, these claims have been published in serious academic journals, and have also been replicated by other researchers, including Maas. `We went in with a healthy amount of scepticism,' Maas says, with his team carrying out a series of experiments earlier this year to test different aspects of the claims being made. `We found very strong evidence for the existence of hydrinos, and significant net energy gains of two to 40 per cent.' After carrying out his own independent study of claims, Maas admits to being awestruck by the results. `There's no way unless you didn't want to believe it that you'd not say you were convinced.' This response, of course, is completely consistent with the now well- documented phenomena that, those who actually see the BLP experiments and accurately replicate them, come away very impressed while many who rely on their ability to discern scientific truth through the internet or from the confines of the APS newsletter office, remain unconvinced. I also liked how Professor Maas blows off the hydrino-phobe's ill- informed, but all too frequent, attempts to smear BLP by trying to link it to cold fusion. Maas affirms what many of us on this forum have long asserted: ...This is so far from cold fusion that it's insulting to compare the two The article also includes background information and comments from Prof Jonathan Phillips of the University of New Mexico. He first heard of Mills and his ideas shortly after debunking cold fusion on theoretical grounds, and fully expected to be underwhelmed. That changed after reading Mills's theoretical papers. `I find his theory very compelling,' says Phillips, who has since teamed up with Mills. But Phillips adds that the radical break from conventional thinking has helped fuel scepticism . The hydrinophobe position is largely based on comments from Rathke: ...Despite being published in respected physics journals, the theory is still viewed with deep suspicion though remarkably few critics have put their knock-out arguments in print. One who has is Andreas Rathke, until recently a theoretical physicist with the European Space Agency (ESA). Earlier this year he published a paper which concluded there were severe inconsistencies in Mills's theory, which was 'incompatible' with quantum mechanics. But Rathke's critique has now been shown to be flawed by Prof Jan Naudts, an expert on quantum mechanics at the University of Antwerp. 'It was clearly incomplete, and even misleading, .' BTW if you want to read a very succinct summary of the multiple flaws, misinterpretations and errors in Rathke's recently published paper, get a hold of Prof Phillips' rebuttal. In the meantime, the article includes a great quote from Maas who really puts things in perspective: Maas believes it's time for the sceptics to put up or shut up. `The experiments are so convincing, it's time to stop bickering about the theory.' Gosh, it is refreshing to see scientists actually act like scientists rather than arrogant, know-it-all internet critics who feel qualified to dismiss reams of experimental evidence without ever seeing or trying to replicate a single experiment. If the hydrinophobes who used to haunt this Bd continue to

[FairfieldLife] Ascension Tools for Ascension
From: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/circle2012dreams/ Tools For ComfortA brief note: Not all of our physical and emotional discomfort can belabeled as an "ascension symptom". There are certainly times when weare just not well, period. For instance, we can easily have a cold orflu and not be clearing at all.a cigar is sometimes just a cigar.Rest. Rest. Rest. Your body is going through an incredibletransformation and is on over-load. For those highly sensitives withfragile nervous systems, rest can make all the difference. I havefound that severely limiting my activities and attending to extremeself-care has made a considerable difference. It also has a naturalby-product of putting you in the higher realms.Water is key. Perhaps the most helpful support of all is water. Itcleanses us, neutralizes us and has many other attributes yet to bediscovered. Drink lots and lots of it, submerge yourself in it andmove through it (preferably a pool) and program it through yourintention to do what you desire. Exercise, water and letting go andtrusting are the most essential supports.Find your own personal supports that vibrate as you do, whether theybe acupuncture, yoga, breathwork, or mainstream therapy, etc. Feelingsupported and not alone can do wonders. In addition, absolutely everyone of us is being supported by our families of origin from the starsand our ascension guides. They are here to make sure that we are notgiven more than we can handle and that we are ALWAYS provided for. Wecannot possibly end up out in the street destitute and alone! We arethe stars of this incredible show and we are totally being watchedover and guided.Three important keys: Stay as grounded as possible (it's easy now togo into much higher realms than we may want to. The Earth is alsoascending, and she will welcome and embrace us if we anchor into her),maintain healthy boundaries (there is a lot of energy flying aroundout there being released and part of the way you may be feeling is notyou), and be in the moment.Really, really trust. If you can let go and stay open and out of theway, you will receive a tremendous amount of help.Be in your creativity as much as possible. The higher energies cravecreativity, and you will naturally, automatically and comfortably beelevated into the higher realms, as well as opening a channel for thatenergy to flow more easily.Try not to resist the process. I have found that fear and resistanceto the ascension process only creates an unpleasant experience.Everything is in divine right order. Again, we all have our ownspecial non-physical beings monitoring our process (I have seenthem!), and we will not be allowed to go "too far" into a danger zone.We are never given more than we can handle, even though sometimes itseems otherwise! At one point my ascension guide told me that myattitude, fears and resistance were creating about 50% more discomfortthan necessary.Monitor your thoughts. This is also key. Higher and positive thoughtswill immediately place you in the higher realms, as well as assistgreatly in what you are creating. Find a "feel good" vision foryourself and use it often. I frequently envision my perfect life inall ways. Know it will arrive. You have the vision because you aresupposed to be living it!Let your soul guide you. We tend to want to be in control of what isgoing on and may "over do" grasping for some kind of relief. If youlet go and ask, your soul will bring to you the messages you need(whether through another person, a book, an e-mail, etc.), and is agreat navigator for a smoother and more pleasant transition. I havefound that "less is more". The process itself has its own way ofgetting you where you need to go, and you can easily overstimulateyourself by trying to take charge or "over remedy-ing" yourself.If you are guided to supplemental support, take it. Adrenal supporthas assisted me greatly. Our bodies are working overtime. Relaxingherbs are good as well.Although doctors may be baffled by your symptoms, as you don't fitinto their "niches", they still may be of help. Our bodies have beenthrown out of balance and you may have a chemical imbalance, ahormonal imbalance, a thyroid imbalance, or anything else that canbenefit from a doctor's diagnosis.

Outside of the practice of TM, if Hindus want to assign meanings to the sounds, that has nothing to do with the practice of TM. Mantras are effective by virtue of the energy and intelligence imbued in them or associated with them. You tickle a Devata, the Devata tickles you back. Indians understand this, and I've heard Maharishi talk about it. He just emphasized the meaningless sound bit to make TM palatable in the West. But the mantras in TM are, in the usual sense of the term, meaningless. They don't literally mean anything in sanscrit (at least the 1st technique). Now, they are associated with particular devatas or more accurately thay are the seed-sound form of the devata. So, they don't mean anything, but they are the devata! Command you me. The mantra (devata) is there to do your bidding. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.

--- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, anonymousff [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From '82-'88 I lived in FF, my partners and I had Perfect Health Products, Inc. At that time there were only a couple of other importers of ayurvedic products directly from India. We hooked up with a guy named Richard Forrest who was in Florida and had already created the channel for getting products in. We then acquired a very highly though of ayurvedic doctor in India as our advisors. This was Dr. Bhagwan Dass who was an advisor to the World Health Organization. We formed the Ayurveda Corporation and Dr. Vasant Ladd was on our Board and we met with him in NYC. We were importing pre-existing formulations and packaging them outselves. We were working with several large companies in India, we had an investor and I was about to head to India to take our business to a much larger lever. At this point in time, the TM org had not entered the business of ayurveda. We had a good relationship with the powers to be of the TM org. We maintained regular contact with the Office of the President who knew exactly what it was we were doing as we told him very explicity. One day, in our little office in one of the high-rises, we received a phone call from Bevan's secretary who read us a quote which said, At this time, Maharishi has announced his intention to get involved with ayurveda and all Governors who are involved in selling ayurvedic products should stop. Of course we could have continued, and in retrospect I'm sure I would have done things differently. But my parnter and I chose to stop. Ha ha.
