Kind of like having no fences, as opposed to surrounding oneself with barbed wire and the expectation that anyone who approaches it is an enemy. Can you imagine a couple of the TM apologists here actually having a good time at a party of people who are no longer part of the TMO? They'd be on their guard every moment, waiting for the offhand remark they could interpret as an attack. For that matter, can anyone imagine these people having fun at a party of any kind?

[FairfieldLife] "Vaneela" ice cream
" The other new method for making supercreamy ice cream was caught up last month in the global debate over genetically modified foods. In June, Unilever, the Anglo-Dutch conglomerate, applied to Britain's Food Standards Agency for permission to use a new ingredient in its frozen desserts a protein cloned from the blood of an eel-like Arctic Ocean fish, the ocean pout. Instead of extracting the protein from the fish, which Unilever describes as "not sustainable or economically feasible" in its application, the company developed a process for making it, by altering the genetic structure of a strain of baker's yeast so that it produces the protein during fermentation. This ingredient, called an ice-structuring protein, has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration and is used by Unilever to make some products in the United States, like some Popsicles and a new line of Breyers Light Double Churned ice cream bars. "Ice-structuring proteins protect the fish, which would otherwise die in freezing temperatures," said H. Douglas Goff, professor of dairy sciences at the University of Guelph in Ontario. "They also make ice cream creamier, by preventing ice crystals from growing." In Britain, where Unilever's Cornetto cone is as iconic as the Fudgsicle is in the United States, the news media have leapt in with headlines about "vaneela" ice cream. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/26/dining/26cream.html To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'

[FairfieldLife] UN observer: Hizbullah using us as shields
UN observer: Hizbullah using us as shields Six days before his death in IAF bombing, Canadian observer Major Paeta Hess-von Kruedener sends email to his former commander, says Hizbullah operating near UN post in southern Lebanon. His commander reveals he said IDF strike aimed at hitting terrorists, not foreign observers. His wife Cynthia, however, accuses Israel of intentionally bombing post Six days before he was killed in an Israel Air Force bombing of a United Nations post in southern Lebanon, Canadian observer Major Paeta Hess-von Kruendener sent an email to his former commander in the Canadian army, in which he said that Hizbullah fighters were "running around" near the UN post struck by the Israel Defense Forces and that they were using the post as a sort of "shield" against Israel's strikes. The former commander, Major-General Lewis MacKenzie, who served as a UN commander in Bosnia, spoke about the email in a Canadian radio show. He said that Hess-von Kruendener wrote that the IDF strikes near the post had "not been deliberate targeting, but rather due to tactical necessity." "That would mean Hizbullah was purposely setting up near the UN post," he added. "It's a tactic." Hess-von Kruendener even sent an email to the Canadian television network CTV a few days before his death, in which he spoke about the IDF's bombardments near his UN post and said that he feared for his life. UNIFIL Strike Security Council fails to condemn Israel / AFP ... He sought to provide the public in his country with a "Canadian outlook" on the war in Lebanon from a post of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, at a distance of 10 kilometers (6.21 miles) from the country's border with Israel. In an email sent six days before he was killed, Hess-von Kruendener wrote that he felt he was in great danger. "What I can tell you is this. We have on a daily basis had numerous occasions where our position has come under direct or indirect fire from both artillery and aerial bombing. The closest artillery has landed within 2 meters (6.562 feet) of our position and the closest 1000 lb aerial bomb has landed 100 meters (328.1 feet) from our patrol base," he said. The Canadian soldier tried to describe his experiences as an unarmed soldier who is nonetheless in the line of fire. The UN post, he wrote, provided a view of the "Hizbullah static positions in and around our patrol Base." "It appears that the lion's share of fighting between the IDF and Hizbullah has taken place in our area," he wrote, adding that it was too dangerous to venture out on patrols. Hess-von Kruendener, whose last letters were quoted in many Canadian and global media outlets, was stationed at a UNIFIL post in southern Lebanon for nine months. He served as a Canadian Forces infantry officer for 20 years and was previously stationed in Cyprus, Congo and Kosovo. ..

What the U.S. did when Iraq and Iran were fighting each other 1980-
88, the U.S. gave support as needed to both sides in order to
prolong the fighting:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran-Iraq_War
At first, the U.S. supported Iraq:
"Starting in 1982 with Iranian success on the battlefield, the U.S.
made its backing of Iraq more pronounced, supplying it with
intelligence, economic aid, normalizing relations with the
government (broken during the 1967 Six-Day War), and also supplying
weapons [6]. President Ronald Reagan decided that the United
States "could not afford to allow Iraq to lose the war to Iran", and
that the United States "would do whatever was necessary and legal to
prevent Iraq from losing the war with Iran."[7] President Reagan
formalized this policy by issuing a National Security Decision
Directive ("NSDD") to this effect in June, 1982.[8]
***
But then, the U.S. also armed Iran:
"Iran acquired weapons and parts for its Shah-era U.S. systems
through covert arms transactions from officials in the Reagan
Administration, first indirectly through Israel and then directly.
It was hoped Iran would, in exchange, persuade several radical
groups to release Western hostages, though this did not result;
proceeds from the sales were diverted to the Nicaraguan Contras in
what became known as the Iran-Contra Affair.
In fact according to the report of the U.S. Congressional Committees
Investigating the Iran-Contra Affair issued in November of
1987, "the sale of U.S. arms to Iran through Israel began in the
summer of 1985, after receiving the approval of President Reagan."
[16] These sales included "2,008 BGM-71 TOW anti-Tank missiles and
235 parts kits for MIM-23 Hawk surface-to-air missiles had been sent
to Iran via Israel." Further shipments of up to US$2 billion of
American weapons from Israel to Iran consisting of 18 F-4 fighter-
bombers, 46 A-4 Skyhawk fighter-bombers, and nearly 4,000 missiles
were foiled by the U.S. Department of Justice, and "unverified
reports alleged that Israel agreed to sell Iran Sidewinder air-to-
air missiles, radar equipment, mortar and machinegun ammunition,
field telephones, M-60 tank engines and artillery shells, and spare
parts for C-130 transport planes."[17] The London Observer also
estimated that Israel's arms sales to Iran during the war totalled
US$ 500 million annually [18], and Time Magazine reported that
throughout 1981 and 1982, "the Israelis reportedly set up Swiss bank
accounts to handle the financial end of the deals."[19] For more on
Israeli Hawk missile sales to Iran see [20].
***
However, the situation is different when Israel is involved as many
of the neocons in the current administration are all-out supporters
of Israel and certainly would not countenance policies that were
deliberately intended to damage Israel, although the stupidity of
the policies does have that effect in the long run by further
antagonizing the Arab/Muslim world.

[FairfieldLife] People who ate a low-fat vegan diet
By Maggie Fox, Health and Science Correspondent Thu Jul 27, 2:34 PM ET WASHINGTON (Reuters) - People who ate a low-fat vegan diet, cutting out all meat and dairy, lowered their blood sugar more and lost more weight than people on a standard American Diabetes Association diet, researchers said on Thursday. Beyonce Christina Aguilera Keyshia Cole Christina Milian Janet Jackson Mariah Carey They lowered their cholesterol more and ended up with better kidney function, according to the report published in Diabetes Care, a journal published by the American Diabetes Association. Participants said the vegan diet was easier to follow than most because they did not measure portions or count calories. Three of the vegan dieters dropped out of the study, compared to eight on the standard diet. "I hope this study will rekindle interest in using diet changes first, rather than prescription drugs," Dr. Neal Barnard, president of the Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine, which helped conduct the study, told a news conference. An estimated 18 million Americans have type-2 diabetes, which results from a combination of genetics and poor eating and exercise habits. They run a high risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, blindness and limb loss. Barnard's team and colleagues at George Washington University, the University of Toronto and the University of North Carolina tested 99 people with type-2 diabetes, assigning them randomly to either a low- fat, low-sugar vegan diet or the standard American Diabetes Association diet. After 22 weeks on the diet, 43 percent of those on the vegan diet and 26 percent of those on the standard diet were either able to stop taking some of their drugs such as insulin or glucose-control medications, or lowered the doses. The vegan dieters lost 14 pounds (6.5 kg) on average while the diabetes association dieters lost 6.8 pounds (3.1 kg). An important level of glucose control called a1c fell by 1.23 points in the vegan group and by 0.38 in the group on the standard diet. DROPPING DRUGS A1c gives a measure of how well-controlled blood sugar has been over the preceding three months. In the dieters who did not change whatever cholesterol drugs they were on during the study, LDL or "bad" cholesterol fell by 21 percent in the vegan group and 10 percent in the standard diet group. The vegan diet removed all animal products, including meat, fish and dairy. It was also low in added fat and in sugar. The American Diabetes Association diet is more tailored, taking into account the patient's weight and cholesterol. Most patients on this diet cut calories significantly, and were told to eat sugary and starchy foods in moderation. All 99 participants met weekly with advisers, who advised them on recipes, gave them tips for sticking to their respective diets, and offered encouragement. "We have got a combination here that works successfully," said Dr. David Jenkins of the University of Toronto, who worked on the study. "The message that we so often get with diet is that it is no good because nobody follows it for very long." Dr. Joshua Cohen, George Washington University associate professor of medicine, said everyone diagnosed with diabetes is told to start eating more carefully. "That may be among the hardest things that any of us can do," Cohen told the news conference. The vegan diet "is at least as good, if not better than traditional approaches," Cohen said. Vance Warren, a 36-year-old retired police officer living in Washington, said he lowered his a1c from 10.4, considered uncontrolled diabetes, to 5.1, considered a healthy level, over 18 months. "My life is much better being 74 pounds (34 kg) lighter," Warren told the news conference.

He was just > setting himself up for criticism. This is just too rich. The righty blogs, of course, are all over Howard Dean for having called Maliki anti-Semitic. Fine. Except that those *same* righty blogs have also been highly critical of the left since this current conflict started for not being sufficiently supportive of Israel. Here's an example from one of the most prominent righty types, Jonah Goldberg, from this very morning, from The Corner Oline: - Anti-Semitism & The Left [Jonah Goldberg] This is not some sweeping indictment by any stretch of the matter. I think most of the prominent names on the left stand opposed to anti- Semitism and that many such accusations are often overstated. Nonetheless, I am constantly noticing how the bulk of my anti- Semitic email comes from the left. This was not always the case. In the late 1990s, a lot of my anti-Semitic email was from self- described "paleo" conservatives. Regardless, what I find particularly illuminating of late is that a lot of the leftwing pests I'm accustomed to hearing from have switched from sending me missives about Karl Rove's pending indictment or Bush's falling poll numbers to really nasty anti- Semitic attacks on Israel. Note: No, I don't think criticizing Israel is anti-Semitic, but I do think Israel hatred often brings out deeper anti-Semitic views. I find it a little disturbing that the run- of-the-mill partisans spammers are so comfortable switching from the usual partisan pot shots to diatribes about "the Jews." - They're completely blind to the contradiction. You can't even call it hypocrisy. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!' Yahoo!

Hall, Jr. Center for Mind, Body & Spirit President, INTEGRIS Mental Health Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Presidend COO, INTEGRIS Mental Health and James L. Hall, Jr. Center for Mind, Body and Spirit Sri. Nithyananda Swami is a trim, healthy looking young man with dark, shoulder-length hair. Handsome and polite, possessing an open manner and a wealth of curiosity, he could be any ordinary American college student. The difference is that ordinary American college students do not wear orange robes and turbans, have not experienced spiritual enlightenment and are not regarded as a teacher, healer and mystic by millions of people in all corners of the world. A mystic? The term is not a bad fit for "Swami," as he is known. Mystics, popular culture tells us, have direct communion with God. Through means not understood or measurable, mystics are thought to have access to ultimate realities or truths. Picture a mystic and you’ll probably picture someone full of bliss, someone gifted with lofty thoughts and insights the rest of us do not possess. The very presence of a mystic is thought to bring peace and healing to others. That’s an apt description of Swami, a 27-year-old from South India. He is approached by thousands of people a year seeking relief from diseases and ailments that conventional medical approaches have not cured. Swami’s background lends him the air of a mystic, too. He left his home as a teen, visited ashrams across India, immersed himself in philosophy, read extensively and mastered the art of meditation. When Swami passed through Oklahoma City recently as one stop in his world travels, I asked him if he would let me use some of modern medicine’s newest technology to peer into his brain while he meditated. My goal: to understand, measure and demystify what happens during the mystic phenomena. Swami, who believes that meditation has a scientific basis, happily agreed. The procedures Swami went through were administered by some of Oklahoma City’s finest and most experienced physicians, neuropsychologists and researchers: Drs. Fordyce, Ruwe and Higgins of the Jim Thorpe Rehabilitation Center Neuropsychology Department and Dr. Chacko of the PET Center of Oklahoma. These doctors were using technology they use with patients on a routine basis. When they look at images obtained by their technology, they know what’s normal and what’s not. The results from testing Swami? Decidedly not normal. Imaging Brain Activity Our first look into Swami’s brain was achieved with the help of a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) device. Unlike traditional diagnostic techniques that produce images of the body’s structure or anatomy, such as X-rays, CT scans or MRI, PET produces images of the function of the brain through the metabolic activity of cells. An analog of glucose is attached to a radioactive PET tracer. The PET scanner then images the metabolically active brain areas at any given time. In the case of Swami, the drug was intended to identify highly active areas of the brain in an alert and conscious state, in the early stages of meditation and during deep meditation. The results of the PET scan tests were stunning. To begin with, the activity in the frontal lobes of Swami’s brain were significantly heightened, even in early meditation stages. The level of activity was higher than would be seen in the average human brain under any conditions. When we then asked Swami to go into the deepest meditation state, there were two more remarkable findings. First, the dominant hemisphere of Swami’s brain was more than 90 percent shut down. It was as if Swami’s brain had packed up and gone on vacation. It was quiet and still, completely at peace … and Swami had made it so at will. A second amazing aspect of Swami’s deep meditation was that the lower portion of his mesial frontal areas lighted up in a very significant way. This area roughly corresponds to the reputed location of the mystical "Third Eye." When we later asked Swami what he was doing when the mesial frontal areas lighted up, he said he was opening his third eye. Associated with both cosmic and inner knowledge and thought to be a place of clarity and peace, the Third Eye is considered by many to be the seat of the soul. Were we seeing an indication that deep meditation can open an area of the brain responsible for communicating with the divine, looking deep into the mysteries of self or creation? I believe the PET scan revealed what I call the brain’s "D-spot." Whether you consider the "D" in D-spot to stand for delight, the divine or even dopamine, the chemical through which our bodies experience pleasure, initial indications are that meditation can stimulate it.

You're used to them doing so, and when you encounter someone who doesn't, you don't know how to just accept it; you feel compelled to *fix* it, to almost force them to change their mind. You simply don't come across as "real" to me, Curtis. The nice-guy stuff feels artificial, studied, calculated (not consciously; I think you've been doing it for so long it's become automatic--but I do sense a tinge of anxiety to it). > I don't think you are especially good at reading people.

But I will give it some thought about why I would post to > someone with such a low regard for me. That might need some work > on my part. My point is that you *should* be able to refrain from trying to sweet-talk me into changing my mind about you. I think that's what you need to work on (and I'm doing my bit to help). My opinion of you shouldn't matter unless you figure I'm right and that you need to change. Feel free to talk to me or not, as you choose. Two people don't have to like each other to have a conversation. But try to be real if that's what you decide to do.

Stupid. The borders of Israel were invented in 1948. Can you show me a map that has "Israel" written on it before that date? The Jews were an offshoot of the tribe known as the Caananites who had lived there for an indefinte period beforehand. Canaanites were said to be heirs fo Adam who also was and ancestor of Abraham. The Muslims hold their father to be Abraham. Abraham = Ahumbrahmasmi... ...because, as the character in the story called 'Jesus', states: "Before Brahman was, I AM".

Even if other countries sent troops into Lebanon, the range of missiles will increase over time, as you note, and so there is no military solution to this problem. There's also no diplomatic solution, a genuine black hole created by stupid people who create problems with no solution. Only an increase in values of intelligence through TM and the pundits could possibly change the situation.

[FairfieldLife] Pat Ryan
I personally knew Pat Ryan when he was a student in the 70s at MIU and on a 79 advanced rounding summer course. He was part of the artsy crowd, Jodi, Chester, etc., and I never, never got the impression that he had any negative TM-MIU attitudes. As a matter of fact, he was quite MMY-MIU-TM positive. His claim on TM-X that he was brainwashed by MIU recruiters to attend the college was total BS. He could have left anytime but chose to stay the full four years for a degree, during which time, whenever I saw him, was all smiles and never complained. Obviously, it was an event that occured after he left MIU that changed his mind.

Hey, I wouldn't have known any different until fairly recently when I acquired some stocks for the first time and started to learn a little (very little so far!) about the market.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Maharishi Mahesh Bhogi
I am not ignoring your response. I just don't have time to respond in detail. I spent too much time writing here as it is today. Do you really want my comments? I can save it for when I get back from my trip. I don't always have a response to your posts once you have stated your view. I don't need to debate everything, I just take what you said as your perspective and I have already posted mine. Your perception of me as a creep is itself creepy. It is true that I don't like it. It is also true that I enjoy people's approval. Because I have a pretty high regard for most people, it is usually returned. Being nice to people is not unusual in my life, giving or receiving. Those are the people who deserve my attention. You are the only exception I can think of in this regard. You may be onto something about me wishing I had a perfect score. But when you react to even the simplest comments like : I accept that it is only you who > > will ever really know. > > That's big of you. I don't think it is an option. We just see things too differently. When I don't answer all of your post you accuse me of dark motives pretty often. That totally sucks since I can't keep up timewise, so I have to pick and choose. I also realized that if I am only engaged with your posts, I miss out on some really interesting people on this group who don't view me as a creep. So I am making sure that I spend more time where my views are appreciated. Seems pretty natural to me. I don't think you are especially good at reading people. I think it is the lack of emotional intelligence that is your downfall. So I am not losing any sleep over your unkind remarks. I just figure you don't know any better. Seems like a tough way to go through life to me. But I will give it some thought about why I would post to someone with such a low regard for me. That might need some work on my part. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "authfriend" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "curtisdeltablues" > wrote: > > > > I was just throwing out my theory.

Seemed like people let bygones be bygones and just enjoyed the music which I really appreciated. It was the first time I had hung out at a sidha dominant gathering in 17 years.

Sort of in the middle for me--how's that for annoying ambiguity? :) Really, I've always been a bit lazy about pronouncing it "Ma ha RI shi" so I simply skip the second syllable, and use "Ma RI shi" instead.

Here's my theory about you: You cannot bear the idea that there is anybody who doesn't see you as a terrific fellow. You put enormous effort into being agreeable, and you're usually very successful at it. But not always, and it freaks you out to find that somebody thinks you're a creep; you have to stand on your head to try to change their opinion of you. I don't know whether it keeps you awake at night if you can't do it, but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if it did. It's like an itch you can't stop scratching.

[FairfieldLife] The Mind of a Mystic
A Mind Matters Column™The Mind of a MysticBy R. Murali Krishna, M.D.President, James L. Hall, Jr. Center for Mind, Body & SpiritPresident, INTEGRIS Mental HealthOklahoma City, OklahomaPresidend COO, INTEGRIS Mental Health and James L. Hall, Jr. Center for Mind, Body and SpiritSri. Nithyananda Swami is a trim, healthy looking young man with dark, shoulder-length hair. Handsome and polite, possessing an open manner and a wealth of curiosity, he could be any ordinary American college student.The difference is that ordinary American college students do not wear orange robes and turbans, have not experienced spiritual enlightenment and are not regarded as a teacher, healer and mystic by millions of people in all corners of the world.A mystic? The term is not a bad fit for "Swami," as he is known. Mystics, popular culture tells us, have direct communion with God. Through means not understood or measurable, mystics are thought to have access to ultimate realities or truths. Picture a mystic and you’ll probably picture someone full of bliss, someone gifted with lofty thoughts and insights the rest of us do not possess. The very presence of a mystic is thought to bring peace and healing to others.That’s an apt description of Swami, a 27-year-old from South India. He is approached by thousands of people a year seeking relief from diseases and ailments that conventional medical approaches have not cured. Swami’s background lends him the air of a mystic, too. He left his home as a teen, visited ashrams across India, immersed himself in philosophy, read extensively and mastered the art of meditation.When Swami passed through Oklahoma City recently as one stop in his world travels, I asked him if he would let me use some of modern medicine’s newest technology to peer into his brain while he meditated. My goal: to understand, measure and demystify what happens during the mystic phenomena. Swami, who believes that meditation has a scientific basis, happily agreed.The procedures Swami went through were administered by some of Oklahoma City’s finest and most experienced physicians, neuropsychologists and researchers: Drs. Fordyce, Ruwe and Higgins of the Jim Thorpe Rehabilitation Center Neuropsychology Department and Dr. Chacko of the PET Center of Oklahoma. These doctors were using technology they use with patients on a routine basis. When they look at images obtained by their technology, they know what’s normal and what’s not.The results from testing Swami? Decidedly not normal.Imaging Brain ActivityOur first look into Swami’s brain was achieved with the help of a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) device. Unlike traditional diagnostic techniques that produce images of the body’s structure or anatomy, such as X-rays, CT scans or MRI, PET produces images of the function of the brain through the metabolic activity of cells. An analog of glucose is attached to a radioactive PET tracer. The PET scanner then images the metabolically active brain areas at any given time.In the case of Swami, the drug was intended to identify highly active areas of the brain in an alert and conscious state, in the early stages of meditation and during deep meditation.The results of the PET scan tests were stunning. To begin with, the activity in the frontal lobes of Swami’s brain were significantly heightened, even in early meditation stages. The level of activity was higher than would be seen in the average human brain under any conditions.When we then asked Swami to go into the deepest meditation state, there were two more remarkable findings.First, the dominant hemisphere of Swami’s brain was more than 90 percent shut down. It was as if Swami’s brain had packed up and gone on vacation. It was quiet and still, completely at peace … and Swami had made it so at will.A second amazing aspect of Swami’s deep meditation was that the lower portion of his mesial frontal areas lighted up in a very significant way. This area roughly corresponds to the reputed location of the mystical "Third Eye."When we later asked Swami what he was doing when the mesial frontal areas lighted up, he said he was opening his third eye.Associated with both cosmic and inner knowledge and thought to be a place of clarity and peace, the Third Eye is considered by many to be the seat of the soul. Were we seeing an indication that deep meditation can open an area of the brain responsible for communicating with the divine, looking deep into the mysteries of self or creation? I believe the PET scan revealed what I call the brain’s "D-spot." Whether you consider the "D" in D-spot to stand for delight, the divine or even dopamine, the chemical through which our bodies experience pleasure, initial indications are that meditation can stimulate it.Measuring BrainwavesThe second procedure we used to look into Swami’s brain is known as Quantitative Electroencephalography, or QEEG. QEEG measures electrical patterns in the brain, patterns commonly referred to as brainwaves.There are fou

It's not possible, in your view, that he didn't have the idea to teach *initially*, then after he was pushed into it, got all fired up when he saw how people responded, and started thinking and acting ambitiously? Has that kind of shift in perspective and motivation never happened to you? It sure has to me. That's how I got started working for myself. I was an administrative assistant for an ad agency and had shepherded an important advertising piece through production, and after it was completed one of the copy writers said to me, "You sure did a great job editing that brochure." I'd never thought of myself as an editor before. But I knew there were editors who worked freelance. I hated working in an office, but it hadn't occurred to me that there was a way I could make an income on my own. That's all it took, that guy characterizing what I had done with the brochure as "editing." I quit the agency a few weeks later and started my own business. Best thing I ever did, aside from learning TM (oh, and coincidentally, I'd learned TM just a few months before this happened).

In the Rama trip, he usually spoke impeccable English, but occasionally he would mispronounce a word or flub up the name of a song or movie. An example of the former is the French synth composer Jean-Michel Jarre. Rama insisted on pronouncing it Jarré (Jaar-eh, if you can't see the accented e). I would estimate that a couple of hundred people I knew began pronouncing it Jarré, even the French student who knew better. An example of the second was that he'd misremember the title of the film "Full Metal Jacket" as "Heavy Metal Jacket." Within a month half the room was referring to the film that way when it would come up in conversation. I think this stuff just happens.

[FairfieldLife] Buddhist Philosophy Class Online
--Buddhist Philosophy Class Online --TibetNet26 July 2006Dharamshala: Gone are the days, when the attendance at the packedclassroom of the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives, often overflowsto the corridors, where students, sitting cross-legged on the floor to thestairs, are seen ruminating over a faint echo of the teachings for the day.Now are the days, when in addition to about 100 foreigners here, whoregularly attend the daily, two classes on Buddhist philosophy andpractice, hundreds more could join online, as the live webcast of these classeshave already begun on www.ltwa.net or www.tibetanlibrary.org.The Library offers two, hour-long classes, from 11 a.m. to 12 noon (IST+5:30 GMT), in which highly qualified lamas teach "courses focused onspecific Indian/Tibetan texts or on specific topics of Buddhist philosophy and practice", which are also translated into English.In addition to an archive of previous recordings, the site also featuresbooks published by the Library. "The main objective of this website isto make the vast resources of the Library accessible to the growing number ofTibetans and non-Tibetans, who rely on Internet for information aboutTibet and Tibetan studies," said Geshe Lhakdor, the director of the Library."Before too long, we will also post the vast audio-visual materials and resources of various departments of the Library, like Museum, along witha complete database of all the available books and manuscripts, on theweb. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'

The tape account is different. It was in the first announcement for his first lectures so he didn't have any students. They reported a lecture given by a great Maharishi from the Himalayas. As MMY tells it, the lectures were set up by a pushy guy at the temple, it was not his idea. Part of his "innocent ting" personal mythology. He wasn't an ambitious guy huckstering a product, he was just responding to the call of nature. "Hermit in the House" paints a completely different picture of his ambitious nature, made all the more powerful because it is written by a devotee. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "sparaig" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "curtisdeltablues" wrote: > > > > Judy, you never saw MMY describing how he got his name on a tape?

Thats the problem -- with this and other ME (DC crime) studies. Its only one intervention/impact. Its hard to seperate out on-going trends to which ME courses are simply speciously correlated. Whats needed is a long series of starts and stops: 2000 YF for two weeks. then two week of no YF. Two weeks 4000 YF, then two week of no YF. Two weeks 1000 YF, then two week of no YF. Repeat 5-20 times. Then we could actually do some valid analysis on such data sets -- and sort out any actual impacts of ME on markets.

The code name is an internal- to-the-company thing, so most folks at Apple were surprised at his reaction and, as I heard it, changed the offending code name immediately, to BHA.

Yeah, but "anti-Semitic" refers to bigotry against Jews, specifically, not Semitic peoples in general. The term was coined in the 1880s for that very purpose.

No, I was serious about that. I can't prove it, but when you hear about people converting you usually hear of them converting to the other major religions of the world, Christianity Islam and Buddhism. As you said earlier Jews tend to discourage conversion to their religion or at least not make it easy. Because of this I would think the major reason for people converting to Judaism would be because their spouse was Jewish. I wouldn't be surprised in this time if more people didn't try to explore the possibility but I don't think it would be common. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'

Sometimes I enjoy joining the scrum and yanking on his beard because I like to poke fun at what I perceive as pretensions. But when I give it more thought, I actually believe that he has a narcissistic personality disorder, so I'm pretty sure he can't help himself.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Lebanon, MMY, TMO and Fairfield Life..
I still think you need more of the populace just practicing meditation. Make meditation courses cheap and then the atmosphere will soften more. It would also improve the yagya like effect of the group gatherings. However the practice of shanti or shiva mantras would probably create a more peaceful atmosphere than shakti mantras. claudiouk wrote: >Have not had time to check postings here but need to express my >alarm and concern at what is happening over there and how EASILY it >could escalate and bring a Baghdad-like scenario to many areas of >the world.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Lebanon, MMY, TMO and Fairfield Life..

Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Have not had time to check postings here but need to express my alarm and concern at what is happening over there and how EASILY it could escalate and bring a Baghdad-like scenario to many areas of the world.

I wonder now whether all this talk of invincibility is just a pipedream anyway, but if it isn't what a trajedy, what short-sightedness, blindness, STUPIDITY we have witnessed from the TMO in its dealings with this region. There are about 7 million Israelis - a group of 250 would have been sufficient to shepherd the country's tendencies towards less belligerent lines -and would have avoided the chaos for the world that now is being unleashed. Instead we have had 50 years languishing in the wilderness of indecision, chasing hopeless mirages and getting precisely NOWHERE in realising the potentialities of this knowledge. Yet again a TMO project - now invincible Holland - turns out to be too little too late and in the wrong geographic orientation anyway. What were those astrologers advising MMY doing anyway, not seeing danger signs on the horizon which anyone with common sense could easily have forseen. MMY and the TMO made a big deal about their ideas being reported in the Jerusalem Post recently but we all know this really amounts to a complete FAILURE of vision and leadership. I do hope there are people in this forum that share my disappointment. It will be my last posting otherwise I pretty much agree here. Seeing as how the conflict in Israel seems to be the source of much of what is going on in the world in terms of violence, why hasn't M set up a group in Israel a long time ago. Fear it won't work or maybe fear for the safety of the sidhas is the only reason I can imagine. If it does work there should be no fear for the safety of a group of sidhas. What would it cost to rotate in a thousand sidhas on a regular basis to the area especially if there was a course fee? And if they could prove it worked beyond a reasonable doubt, somebody could be convinced to finance it indefinately. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'

Very, very cool.> > I belive that David Frawley's work is to carry on the wisdom of Ganapati Muni. Are they connected in any way? One of the direct disciples and scholars of Nayana (as he was also called) was Kapali Shastri, who in a way represents a connection between Ramana and Aurobindo - he was fisrt a disciple of Ramana, but then migrated to Aurobindo and Sweet Mother. Again his disciple was M.P.Pundit. who was a close disciple of the Mother and wrote innumerable good books on Tantra and related stuff. There is now a Kapali Shastri Institute of Vedic Culture in Bangalore, which is mainly committed in bringing out new translations of the Vedas in the light of an evolutionary, esoteric understanding. My personal interest to all this stems from a life-transforming experience , I had exactly one year before meeting Mother Meera, more than 20 years back, when I got hooked up to the Divine Mother: The original work is called Uma Sahasranam, which means thousand names of the Mother Divine. Ganapathi Muni was a tantric, and adorer of the Divine Mother, and the work was intended to be his thank you to the Divine Mother - UMA - for finding his Guru Ramana. He had made a pledge to finish off the whole work up to a certain time, but found that a significant number of verses had to be still done. As he was in Ramanas presence he suddenly felt a strong inspiration and the remaining verses flowed out effortlessly. Ramana sat in Samadhi, his eyes closed. After Muni had finished the last verse Ramana opened his eyes and asked: Did you write everything down? (that was transmitted). I must also say that I would not have understood (if that is the right term, as it is more intuitional knowledge) anything without the comments of Pundit. The whole thing happened for me, one year before I met Mother. In the experience, I was drawn to the book and felt an electric current. After a nights sleep while waking up I had a vision of the Divine Mother in the form of a golden spiral, and felt an unmistaken female Divine Presence in my room. The effects of the experience was felt for several days. Kapali Shastris collected works contain reminiscences of his experience with the Mother as well as with Ramana, his works on the Vedas and the Tantras, in the light of Sri Aurobindos philosophy. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'

As you can see, a lot of people are snoozing this morning -- as markets decline. Perhaps due to lots of new arrivals and travel fatigue. Or perhaps due to what I like to call the "Barry effect". In the course environment, lots of people are seeing old friends, making new friends, etc, and subsequently, there is lots of um, "embracing", into the wee hours of the night.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
The guestimation that the Tat Wale Baba cave is about a kilometer from Shankaracharya Nagar is not far exaggerated, whereas, according to the map, Parmath Niketan is just a little further than a kilometer. In 1969 the nearest buildings to Shankaracharya Nagar (Maharishi Ashram) were Parmath Niketan (an ashram on the waterfront in Swargashram), and the then disused Kailashanand Nature Cure Centre, (which is just a few minutes walk along the track from Tat Wale Baba's cave). According to the government map the distance from Shankaracharya Nagar to Parmath Niketan is further than the distance to Kailashanand, therefore the cave that Tat Wale Baba dwelt in is the closest dwelling to Maharishi Ashram. I have omitted mention of Ved Niketan Ashram as at the time it was only in the early stages of construction and I have also omitted mention of the tiny caves at the foot of Shankaracharya hill as the caves had no permanent inhabitants to the best of my knowledge. In the space between Parmath Niketan and Ved Niketan was a cowshed on the sandbank. I concede that it is possible that there were others living in the jungle somewhat higher up (towards Neelkanth Mahadev the temple to Lord Shiva; neelkanth = blue throat) which is several hours walk away. Though local gossip had it that there was an Austrian living somewhere high in the hills. The majority of recluses lived about two kilometers or more from Shankaracharya Nagar, mainly along the waterfront between Swargashram and Lakshman Jhoola. It was here that Swami Sivanand Saraswati first stayed before building his ashram on the Rishikesh side. In conclusion, it appears that Tat Wale Baba was invited to visit the ashram because it was convenient. He appears to have got on well with MMY and impressed the course participants with his spiruality. However, as has been suggested in subsequent posts there is some doubt that the friendship remained strong. My concern is that one should not make too much milage of these casual appearances of Tat Wale Baba at MMY's ashram. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "sparaig" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Paul Mason" wrote: > > > > I know you are joking but I am lucky enough to have a 1:20,000 guide > > map of Rishikesh which includes a map of 'Rishikesh neighbourhood' > > right here; I would scan the relevant section but it says on it > > that 'This map is NOT to be published, copied or reproduced in part > > or inwhole eithr by photography or my any other means, should be kept > > in safe custody and handled by authorised persons only.' > > So how far away is the cave?
