I guess it's just karma: such intention to cause so much harm and pain; Produces a reaction for one to have time to ponder and perhaps realize and experience the pain, that's been caused; This is how karma is balanced... You miss the point. In a sense, this fellow is fortunate in that he's getting *feedback* from the universe as to the nature of his thoughts and actions, and thus has been provided the opportunity to learn about the karma that they generate. Thus he has been provided the opportunity to *change* his thoughts and actions. I would think that the worst of the worst would be to receive no such feedback, and to get away with horrific acts for a long time. Such people become the George W. Bushes of the world, and carry their unsane tendencies with them from lifetime to lifetime, do the same horrible things over and over and over, lower- ing their state of attention with every repetition, strengthening the hold that their unsane self has on them every time they give in to the samskaric pattern. In a way, you see this around you every day when you interface with people who are angry and hateful and who have been taught that such emotions are OK. Every time they give in to the anger -- whether they act it out or not -- they plunge once more into a state of attention that has a predictable and inevitable karma, one that *lowers* their overall state of consciousness and makes them more *comfortable* with that low state of attention, more convinced that such a hellish mind- state is actually normal. People raised to believe that emotions that have been identified by Buddhists and other traditions as poisonous are normal, are in my opinion *much* worse off in the long run (that is, over the span of multiple incarnations) than those (like this terrorist wannabee) who get some instant karma feedback on the nature of their actions, or than those who were fortunate enough to be raised to believe that they have a *choice* as to the emotions they experience, and that that choice matters. It's fascinating to spend time around people who have been practicing mindfulness for many years, and who, as a result, you *never* see indulging in anger and hate and self-pity and the other lower emotions. It's not like they *never* experience such emotions; it's just that they never allow them to go on for more than a few moments before shifting gears and moving their thoughts and emotions to something more productive. I'm thinking about all this lately because I've run into a few such people in recent weeks, and have noticed the stark contrast of how they live their lives (and the resulting happiness and light that emanates from them), compared to the normal people around me who have never learned any of this stuff, and who thus tend to indulge their negative emotions like crazy. The karma of how the latter choose to live *their* lives is equally evident -- in my experience they tend towards unhappi- ness and have a distinctly darker aura. Some have been trained to think of practices that involve exercising some control over one's thoughts and emotions as mood making, and to look down on them as artificial. Their call, I guess, but I think that people who believe that are missing out on one of the most valuable techniques available to them in the spiritual smorgasbord. As far as I can tell, knowledge is structured in consciousness is NOT just talking about the seven states of consciousness. That's a simplistic way of looking at things. *Within* the everyday Waking State there are tens of thousands of states of attention, *each* with its own characteristics, *each* with its own karma. Once one has figured out what the karma is for indulging in a low mindstate, why would anyone *want* to linger in that low mindstate and thus exper- ience that karma, if one had a choice. One always has a choice. In my opinion, what one does with that choice pretty much determines how happy they are in this life, and sets up the preconditions for the next lives. Indulging in low mindstates is just like any other habit; the more you do it, the more likely you'll do it again. And vice-versa. The more often you *catch* yourself falling into a low mindstate and refuse to give into it...the more often you take advan- tage of those moments of recognition to shift your state of attention a notch or two higher, the more likely it is you'll do *that* again. Seems to me it all comes down to which habits one wants to perpetuate. Just a cafe rap on a Saturday morning...

[FairfieldLife] Boston Globe- conference promotes meditation
Conference promotes meditation in school By Cristina Silva, Globe Staff | May 6, 2006 Twenty minutes of deep breathing and silence twice daily can help boost students' grades, improve their social skills, and ignite their creativity.Article Tools Printer friendlyE-mail to a friendEducation RSS feedAvailable RSS feedsMost e-mailedReprints LicensingMore: Globe Education stories |Education section |Globe front page |Boston.com Sign up for:Globe Headlines e-mail |Breaking News Alerts That's the message Transcendental Meditation practitioners brought to more than 100 Boston-area educators yesterday during a three-hour conference on how to help students overwhelmed by social pressures and the stress of getting into college.The concept excited many attendees, who took notes intently and walked out chatting animatedly about how they might introduce the program to parents and students.''It sounds very powerful," said Jose A. Solis, a counselor at Madison Park Technical-Vocational High School in Boston. ''I think it could work."Donald Brown, principal of Roxbury Charter High Public School, said he was already considering creating a pilot meditation program for ninth-graders.''I had never heard of it before this," he said. ''We all talk about how we want to create an environment conducive to learning. This sounds like this is it."Maryalice Foley, assistant principal of B. F. Butler Middle School of Technology in Lowell, said the school had begun experimenting with different ways to reduce student stress this year over of the rise of gang violence.''Anything that can bring cohesiveness to the brain, that can calm them down, is good," she said.She said she thought some parents might be concerned about the unusualness of the practice.''I don't know if we would immediately call it Transcendental Meditation," she said.Organized by the New England Committee for Stress-Free Schools, the nonprofit group of educators and meditation practitioners has launched a two-week tour across the region to promote the benefits of meditation. In the past week, they made stops in Fairfield, Conn., and Providence.''There's an exorbitant amount of pressure on kids today," said G. Anthony Ryan, director of the Massachusetts Committee for Stress-Free Schools, a meditation group, before the conference began. ''Bullying, academic problems, drug use, this is a mechanism to combat all that." Ryan is assistant superintendent of the Hampshire Regional School District in Western Massachusetts.During yesterday's conference at the Harvard Club, educators heard testimonies from principals in Detroit and Washington, D.C., who said they had successfully introduced meditation in their schools and neurology specialists who said meditation stimulated the brain.Transcendental Meditation is practiced in at least 15 schools nationally, according to the committee. Supporters believe the program, which requires participants to sit quietly in a deep rest for 20 minutes at the start and at the end of the school day, allows the brain to tap into a reservoir of energy and intelligence.The Transcendental Meditation Program is a nonreligious practice started by the East Indian spiritual leader Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Its most famous students include the Beatles, who made the practice popular in the late 1960s.At the conference, 17-year-old Owen Stowe said he loved art, but after transferring from a school that used meditation to Buckingham Browne Nichols private school in Cambridge, he felt too stressed out to draw.Three years ago, Stowe decided to return to the Maharishi School, a private school in Fairfield, Iowa, and live with family friends. The school encourages students to meditate twice a day.Since then, the high school junior says he is so inspired he can't stop doodling in class. ''I'm a whole lot happier," he said.Cristina Silva can be reached at [EMAIL PROTECTED]. © Copyright 2006 Globe Newspaper Company. New Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.

Actually he's been attacking me quite regularly, both directly and indirectly, and not even in response to any rants from me. Funny how you seem to have missed it. I guess that does prove who is the one who tried (oh so desperately) to keep the negativity going. And who probably started it. We now have scientific evidence! Oh, blow it out your I/O port. Barry doesn't need me to keep the negativity going. He was trashing me on this forum before I even *got* here and is by far the most consistently negative poster on FFL. You are perhaps assuming the posting under anon_astute_ff in this post is not Turquoise. IMO, all its missing is a :) at the end of the post to be classic Turquoise. Particularly the 'irony of the We now have scientific evidence! -- a mocking of those who believe science, statistics and rational thought have a role in both spiritual and mundane life. I once tried to convince Judy that I was her alter-ego and that because of a dual personality she wasn't aware that she was posting under the pseudonym of Shemp McGurk. But she wasn't buying any of it. But: is it perhapsTRUE?? And if you were to go back and look at the early alt.m.t traffic, you'd have all the scientific evidence you needed to know which of us started it and which of us relentlessly pursued it, as well as which of us *resisted* it for quite some time until it became clear that resistance was a mug's game. And if you didn't happen to be in a mood to attack me today, you'd have pointed out the hypocrisy in his post just as I did above. I may be mistaken, apologies if so, but I am guessing you have pegged a particular personality as posting under anon_astute_ff, or any/all anons. Not always the case. While I post under anon at times, and some apparently peg that name to a particular personality, I have the advantage of knowing what posts are by others, not by me. Several, if not a number of, posters use the anon handles. The value of which is that it (may) be to have people focus on the content of each post, judging it on its merits, not pre-pegging it to ones expectations of a particular personality (a form of profiling and prejudice -- pre-judgement, imo). The usefulness of this attempt to reduce profiling may be waning -- if it ever had much merit. I, a frequent user of the public anon handles, will discontinue their use. It appears to me that Turquoise is having some fun and posting under public anon names to provide support for his views -- since few if any apparently do -- or even read his posts penned under his nom de plume turq. Thanks for the anti-coherence Judy, you could negate a hundred yogic flyers with your negative energy. Again, classic Turq.

[FairfieldLife] Crash
You're a movie bunch. I know I'm 'way behind the times and all, living in the boonies of France, and that it won the Oscar for Best Film and all, but I just got around to seeing Crash tonight. I'm blown away. One of the highest (in a spiritual sense) films I've seen in a long, long time, possibly since American Beauty. If you saw it, what did you think of it?

Curtis Mailloux...one of the truly great TM Nazis the TMO ever produced. After he left the fold, he became as vehemently against as he had been pro before. In his time, though , he was awesome. He would regularly report people for the most minor TM infractions (such as wearing jeans to the Center--horrors!) as well as work on occasion to keep people off courses, TTC, etc. You name it, he reported it. Must have satisfied some primal urge for power, or something. His defection really came as not much of a surprise...that level of stress most people just can't keep up for very long.

I've
wondered over the years what became of him too.
I only knew him from passing but he was at MIU for the several years
when I was there ('75-'79). Seemed pleasant enough. I remember him
as being very talkative...that's about it.
But what you say above reminds me a bit of Pat Ryan who was also at
MIU at the same time. Ryan also left the Movement and became an
infamous TM-EX. I don't want to knock the guy too much but when I
knew Pat it was when as a 17 or 18 year old he had just arrived at
MIU and was skeptical and cynical about the teaching and went out of
his way to find out secrets and go to meetings that anti-TM
fundamentalists were holding in town and then corresponding with
them for years afterwards. I mention this because years later when
he then became a TM teacher and then years later left the TMO he
made it seem that all the revelations about TM that he had come to
realize were new to him. The reality was that he was told all of
this stuff by the fundies about 15 years prior. So he knew exactly
what he was getting into and he can't feign innocence about having
the wool pulled over his eyes by the evil cult.
Another thing about Pat (and I should say I thought he was a sweet
kid...kinda like a puppy dog who would follow you everywhere): when
Pat came to MIU he was illiterate. That is, he wrote and read at,
literally, a Grade 2 or 3 level. To his credit, that first year he
worked his ass off improving himself and bringing himself up to a
level where he was pretty much at par with everyone else. But I

One of the highest (in a spiritual sense) films I've seen in a long, long time, possibly since American Beauty. If you saw it, what did you think of it? I think it's a passionate -- and compassionate -- lecture on interdependent origination. Bloody brilliant. It was one of my favorite movies from last year. Now I can't understand why Hollywood doesn't make more films like these (I'm sure there will be a bunch of far less than satisfying knock offs). It didn't cost a lot to make. You're right, Crash cost a measley $6.5 million in production costs which is a pittance...and DESPITE several big names, who obviously did it for scale because they believed in it: http://tinyurl.com/ztq5s Seems that most of the boobs that still go to multiplexes just want a bunch of junk. Quite right! So Hollywood is making the junk that people want...and, hey, if they would continue to go see quality like Crash then Hollywood would continue to do it. But the people don't, so whose fault is that? Not Hollywoods's. But if you look at people like the Weinstein's (Miramax) who exist and live in Hollywood and, although are technically independents, they work with the Studio system yet have, IMHO, put out more quality movies in their existence than anyone else ever has. Take a look at what these guys have done: http://imdb.com/name/nm0005544/ So it IS possible to do. We'd all just like to see more of it. Miramax WAS owned by Disney and a year or so ago the Weinstein's got it back from Disney. Lion's Gate is the distributor for Crash. They also happened to distribute the 3 Elements DVD too. Kevin Smith (Clerks) on the commentary for one of his movies said as the Lion's Gate logo came up Lion's Gate where your film winds up when no one else wants it. :) They do distribute a lot of good little independent films. Sony Classic Films is another good indie and foreign distributor. And if you have a fast broadband connection you can buy and burn your own DVDs online here: http://www.eztakes.com/ How long does it take to download? Once you do it, do you leave it on your computer or, as you say above, do you always burn a DVD with it and then erase what is on the computer...or do you burn it DIRECTLY onto the DVD and it's never on the computer? And, I assume they charge for the download? How much? How long depends on the size of the DVD and your broadband connection. They have some small test DVDs and some DVDs that are almost 4 GB. However their download system allows you to download in segments. You do burn a DVD and their software embeds your name into the start screen and into the files. Their software will also burn the DVD for you. I suspect most of their users have cable broadband which is faster than the usual DSL (unless you buy a faster service). BTW, the US lags far behind other countries in broadband speed like Korea which has 21 mbps broadband. So much for competition. They have some freebies which are old public domain movies. The rest vary in price from $1.99 and up tough usually around $7.99. Just peruse their catalog. A friend is distributing some films on this site. snip To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'

Apart from shock therapy, I'm not really sure what might have helped at that point. I left DC to move here in 91 and, although my memories of that time are, of course, growing more vague by the minute, I had thought he was still Center Chairman. If he became CC in 85, and already by 90 he was TM-Ex, his reign of terror lasted fewer years than I thought. Sort of comforting, in a silly kind of way...I outlasted him! For some reason I had him freaking out around the mid-90s or so. That's probably just when I became aware of his new vocation, so to speak.

Don't know Pat, but I agree...give credit where it's due. I never hesitate to mention MIU when somebody asks me where I went to school. It was still a great place to go back then (early 90s) and hadn't yet gotten too weird.
Amazing he didn't get caught at some of those activities, (and that he was able to hide them well enough to go to TTC while others were kept off for far lesser reasons) considering the level of spying going on at that point, or so I thought.

But the people don't, so whose fault is that? Not Hollywoods's. But if you look at people like the Weinstein's (Miramax) who exist and live in Hollywood and, although are technically independents, they work with the Studio system yet have, IMHO, put out more quality movies in their existence than anyone else ever has. Take a look at what these guys have done: http://imdb.com/name/nm0005544/ So it IS possible to do. We'd all just like to see more of it. Miramax WAS owned by Disney and a year or so ago the Weinstein's got it back from Disney. Lion's Gate is the distributor for Crash. They also happened to distribute the 3 Elements DVD too. Kevin Smith (Clerks) on the commentary for one of his movies said as the Lion's Gate logo came up Lion's Gate where your film winds up when no one else wants it. :) They do distribute a lot of good little independent films. Sony Classic Films is another good indie and foreign distributor. And if you have a fast broadband connection you can buy and burn your own DVDs online here: http://www.eztakes.com/ How long does it take to download? Once you do it, do you leave it on your computer or, as you say above, do you always burn a DVD with it and then erase what is on the computer...or do you burn it DIRECTLY onto the DVD and it's never on the computer? And, I assume they charge for the download? How much? How long depends on the size of the DVD and your broadband connection. They have some small test DVDs and some DVDs that are almost 4 GB. However their download system allows you to download in segments. You do burn a DVD and their software embeds your name into the start screen and into the files. Their software will also burn the DVD for you. I suspect most of their users have cable broadband which is faster than the usual DSL (unless you buy a faster service). BTW, the US lags far behind other countries in broadband speed like Korea which has 21 mbps broadband. So much for competition. They have some freebies which are old public domain movies. The rest vary in price from $1.99 and up tough usually around $7.99. Just peruse their catalog. A friend is distributing some films on this site. snip Thanks for the info... You say Korea has 21 mbps. I don't know what that means, actually. I have high speed internet through my cable TV company...how many mbps is that (whatever mbps means)?

Curtis Mailloux...one of the truly great TM Nazis the TMO ever
produced. After he left the fold, he became as vehemently
against
as
he had been pro before. In his time, though , he was
awesome.
He
would regularly report people for the most minor TM
infractions
(such
as wearing jeans to the Center--horrors!) as well as work
on
occasion to keep people off courses, TTC, etc. You name it,
he
reported it. Must have satisfied some primal urge for power,
or
something. His defection really came as not much of a
surprise...that
level of stress most people just can't keep up for very long.
I've
wondered over the years what became of him too.
I only knew him from passing but he was at MIU for the several
years
when I was there ('75-'79). Seemed pleasant enough. I remember
him
as being very talkative...that's about it.
But what you say above reminds me a bit of Pat Ryan who was also
at
MIU at the same time. Ryan also left the Movement and became an
infamous TM-EX. I don't want to knock the guy too much but when
I
knew Pat it was when as a 17 or 18 year old he had just arrived
at
MIU and was skeptical and cynical about the teaching and went
out
of
his way to find out secrets and go to meetings that anti-TM
fundamentalists were holding in town and then corresponding with
them for years afterwards. I mention this because years later
when
he then became a TM teacher and then years later left the TMO he
made it seem that all the revelations about TM that he had come
to
realize were new to him. The reality was that he was told all
of
this stuff by the fundies about 15 years prior. So he knew
exactly
what he was getting into and he can't feign innocence about
having
the wool pulled over his eyes by the evil cult.
Another thing about Pat (and I should say I thought he was a
sweet
kid...kinda like a puppy dog who would follow you everywhere):
when
Pat came to MIU he was illiterate. That is, he wrote and read
at,
literally, a Grade 2 or 3 level. To his credit, that first year
he
worked his ass off improving himself and bringing himself up to
a
level where he was pretty much at par with everyone else. But I
mention this because: 1) MIU accepted him despite this handicap
(okay, they were probably desparate for students and this was
probably their motivation); and 2) teachers, TAs and others at
MIU
helped Pat overcome his illiteracy. It would be nice that while
he
trashed the TMO and all things TM, he could acknowledge their
part
in helping him overcome his illiteracy.
Fascinating to hear about Curtis and Pat. I never
knew them as TMers, only afterwards, when they hung
out on alt.m.t posting long, extremely hostile, and
generally quite dishonest anti-TM screeds.
Haven't seen hide nor hair of that old anti-TM crowd
on alt.m.t for some years now. Man, they were vicious.
I sure wish I'd known what you just said about Pat
having heard the negative stuff from the fundamentalists
*before* he became a TM teacher.
So Pat was also a participant on amt? Interesting.
Yes, Pat knew all he had to know about TM from A to Z. There were
virtually NO surprises at all for him from '75 onward.

--- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, TurquoiseB [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: snip Exactly the theme I was thinking of in my rap about Milarepa the other day. Although we still have to deal with the karma of past actions, we *don't* have to be bound by them. At every moment, we can ignore the pull of the samskaric patterns and Do Something New. I once heard a really cool Tibetan Buddhist nun give a whole dharma talk about that phenomenon... that moment when you catch yourself about to fall into a samskaric rut and do the same old same old all over again...and INSTEAD you stop yourself, and you DO SOMETHING NEW. She went on and on about that moment, that cusp. About how important it was to learn to recognize those moments, and thus be able to take advantage of them. About the incredible karmic effect *of* taking advantage of those moments, and saying No to a samskara. In her view, the making of that choice, the taking advantage of that cusp moment, is all that is necessary to liberate you from the samskara forever. yeah, pretty much. The thing I find myself watching these days are past patterns unwinding and just playing themselves out in front of me from my new perspective of freedom, freedom from the grip of the echo of the impression playing out in front of me. Since the grip of the desire is no longer present, the echo of the impression still occurs sometimes as karma, but my awareness is no longer bound to this echo of the impression. Therefore, while I wholly accept the situation occurring in front of me and do nothing to prevent it from occurring, my reactions as I live through it this time around are changed, providing me with the choice to leave further trails, or not, cause further echoes, or not, so that my relationship to the echo of the desire has become non-existent, as I continue on in freedom, vs. bound to the echo of past impressions. So there is no need to do something new, per se. We are just ourselves, and the situation resolves itself, naturally.

It was still a great place to go back then (early 90s) and hadn't
yet

Amazing he didn't get caught at some of those activities, (and
that he

I'm not 100% sure, but I think Pat was denied acceptance to TTC the
