I mean have there been any definitive studies on the effects of the bagpipe on a sidha's brainwaves and how that might affect the group coherence in the dome? Actually, there have been several studies, but more on just being near someone who once played the bagpipes - it was shown definitively that it was NOT necessary to actually hear the person playing the bagpipes, or to even know that the person had ever played the bagpipes. A smaller, but still disruptive, effect was found if the subject was near a person who once considered playing the bagpipes, but decided against it. The best reference I can find at short notice is Offksanvkie, T. S. Wojiewscki, B.O. (2003). The effects of near distance on bagpipe excitations in non-bagpiping adults.

presence in the Dome would be disruptive. Disruptive? What is disrupted is Milieu Control. I'm sure everyone here is hip to that Lifton concept. http://www.freeminds.org/psych/lifton.htm Since so many quality people have bailed on letting them work their mojo, it seems like they are just acting out of habit. The movement seems to lack the ability to create a new organization that respects mature individuals with enough spiritual and life experience to decide things for themselves. It worked better when everyone was in their 20's and less self-assured. From the outside it is fascinating to see them try to cast the same old spells their a broken wands. I wonder if Lifton has studied the oppositional reflex that must exist even in devoted members, who are still close to the organization. It seems as if the innocence is so long gone that the movement's words would have a completely different effect by this time. When I talk with people who still do the program about the movement, there is so much eye-rolling that it makes me wonder who is more turned off to the teaching. My guess is that although FFL is a small group who are willing to speak up, the eclectic lifestyle and practices represented here is more reflective of the majority of people still involved with TM than the old-school hardline. I meet people who keep their feelings and practices to themselves for fear of being cut out of courses.

I'm sure everyone here is hip to that Lifton concept. http://www.freeminds.org/psych/lifton.htm Wonder why you didn't just quote it; it isn't long: Milieu is a French word meaning surroundings; environment. Cults are able to control the environment around their recruits in a number of ways, but almost always using a form of isolation. Recruits can be physically separated from society, or they can be warned under threat of punishment to stay away from the world's educational media, especially when it might provoke critical thinking. Any books, movies or testimonies of ex-members of the group, or even anyone critical of the group in any way are to be avoided. Information is carefully kept on each recruit by the mother organization. All are watched, lest they fall behind or get too far ahead of the thinking of the organization. Because it appears that the organization knows so much about everything and everyone, they appear omniscient in the eyes of the recruits.

Iran are demanding that they are handed over as part of a deal for their non involvement. If they get handed over and killed, as seems likely, then would this be a major war crime?

[FairfieldLife] Re: Hell not quite frozen over yet,
Thanks for the reply. Lifton and Singer established 8 principles from their work with Korean war vets. I don't know Lifton but did know the late Margret Singer. She was fascinated by how some modern groups had refined the techniques to become less obvious and more subtle. I think this is a case of knowledge being power. Knowing the techniques makes it more difficult to apply them. Even some sales seminars I have attended have tried to pull some of these techniques on me, but once it is identified, it loses a lot of its power to influence. I appreciated your assessment of people's ability to discuss topics reasonably. I find that to be true of most people when it comes to deeply held, and particularly spiritual beliefs, not just in the movement. Instilling a phobic response to questioning beliefs is a characteristic to watch for that makes some groups better at inhibiting critical thinking. My definition of what and who the movement is has changed considerably for me from posting here and corresponding with people like yourself. It seems there is a small group of people clustered around the dudes with the Raja crowns, and a much larger, and more interesting, group who has taken what is valuable from their TM experience and moved on. Although I don't meditate myself, I will always be interested in and connected with TM as part of my history. I have enjoyed getting to know the new, cooler movement. living outside the Raja-domains! When I was in the movement I was only interested in getting closer and closer to MMY. Now, the farther people are from him the more interesting they are to me. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, L B Shriver [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Responses interleaved. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, curtisdeltablues curtisdeltablues@ wrote: presence in the Dome would be disruptive.

And as I noted, a physician I went to for a flu shot asked for it as well. It's still fairly common. And those are routine occurrences? Only in your world, Judy. Uh, no, Sal. It's still fairly common, as I said (and the AARP confirms). Last time I got a flu shot I paid them 10 bucks and they gave me the shot. I could have been a Martian for all they cared. And that proves...what, exactly? My health insurance card, with TEIGIT, has my SS# on it. I complained to them, because I can't carry the card in my wallet. They said they were working on a new system, but it wouldn't be ready for some time yet. Well, neither my health insurance card or that for my kids has any SS #s on it. My driver's license used to, but they stopped that years ago. I don't remember whether or not I had to give it to apply for any of the credit cards I've had over the years. I had to give my SS# to open a bank account six five years ago. You have to give it on most credit card applications. My landlord wanted it when I first rented the condo I just bought, also five years ago. And these relate to the TMO how, exactly? Would you describe any of the above situations as routine? SS #s are generally asked for when security issues are at stake, like with savings accounts and deeds, or when dealing with large amounts of people. Neither of those situations applies to the TMO courses, especially nowadays. You didn't answer my question, Sal. I don't think you have any actual threat in mind. You just thought it sounded good to use the word intimidation. And you've proven my point for me, by admitting you wouldn't give it to them. I think they know perfectly well that people, in general, don't like to give them out and probably never have. I doubt they'd use them for anything (since to my knowledge they never actually have)-- It's a power trip. And I don't think getting involved in that kind of game is healthy. And another point--usually when an organization asks you for one, that's it. They don't keep asking you every single time. These idiots just want you to know they've got something on you--again and again. And again, see the AARP link, which explains why SS#s are routinely used for identification. I didn't see any link. For the record, if I had to give them my SS# to go on a course these days, I wouldn't do it, even if it meant I couldn't go. I don't trust them to keep those records secure from people who might use them for identity theft. So then you *do* think they could be used for nefarious purposes-- Of course. But that's not why the TMO is asking for them, obviously. OK, why are they asking for them then? who else besides people in the TMO would ever have access to that info? Not everyone in the TMO is necessarily an upstanding citizen, first of all. Some lower-level administrative person with financial needs and no scruples might have access to a list of SS#s and get ideas. Lists of SS#s are worth big bucks in the identity theft market. You can sell them to brokers, who then sell them to individuals who commit the actual identity theft. Second, there are any number of ways the numbers could get to non-TMO people. Someone could walk in a door left unlocked and steal the records; some nitwit TMer could throw a batch of unneeded printouts in the trash; a janitor could find the records sitting on someone's desk; a hacker could break into the computer system if it weren't secured properly, etc., etc., etc. This is why you don't want to have to give out your SS# if you can possibly avoid it--because they're *worth lots of money*, and even an organization with the most spotless motives can be careless about how they're handled. Knowing the level of disorganization and general incompetence in the TMO, I simply wouldn't trust them to keep the numbers secure. That's my point exactly. Whether it's directly by someone with some nefarious intent, or simply because some idiot gets careless, you would not trust the TMO with potentially sensitive information. Neither would I.

I am sure the people running this course are also thinking in terms of 'cost/benefit analysis', so that perhaps it is not worth their while to entertain people who they feel will be disruptive and counterproductive... Also, I really don't see how this Lifton study on 'cults', Is any different from any organized belief system, whether it be any of the organized religions, or even the way our whole culture is stuctured. Any time there is human structure of any kind; there follows rules, do's and don'ts and vieing for political power. One of the only organizations that had avoided this, is the Twelve Step programs, which specifically have a structure that avoids anyone becoming a leader or 'head' of the group; and the money is not used for promotion, and other safe-guards to avoid ego taking over.

Thanks for the flashback! I remember at the very end of my TTC they made a point of having us hold the file in our hands but told us not to look. I didn't know if it was a test or what it was. I was too afraid, I admire you for looking! What was it's purpose? I thought it might be some legal thing that they were fulfilling since they had records on us but we did not work for them as employees. Was it to let us know that they had a file on us?

[FairfieldLife] Re: Hell not quite frozen over yet,
--- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, curtisdeltablues [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for the reply. Lifton and Singer established 8 principles from their work with Korean war vets. I don't know Lifton but did know the late Margret Singer. She was fascinated by how some modern groups had refined the techniques to become less obvious and more subtle. Note that the Korean war vets in question had been prisoners of war in Korea and China; that's Lifton's and Singer's model, which they then (especially Singer) extrapolated to new religious groups (or cults). (Curtis believes, incidentally, or did back in 1997 when he was posting to alt.m.t, that the same methods used on the Korean war vets to alter their thinking about communism were used on him in the context of the TMO--in their more subtle form, of course. He was quoted as claiming in the Washington, DC, City Paper, 7/13/90, that the TM thought reform techniques are the most sophisticated techniques for mind control that have ever been used.) Not surprisingly, Singer found the techniques used by the Koreans and Chinese to brainwash prisoners of war had been refined to become less obvious and more subtle in the new religious groups. The problem is that if you posit a sufficient degree of subtlety, you can make all *kinds* of things fit these principles, and you can find them, in their less obvious, more subtle form, in any number of groups and organizations that nobody would consider cults. The problem with anticults (especially lay ones like Curtis) is that they never draw the necessary lines. At what point does the subtlety of these techniques mean that they aren't techniques at all but simply the normal, accepted way of doing things in a particular context, with no sinister motivations, and perhaps even a well-founded practical basis? If the range of subtlety of these techniques can be extended indefinitely, it becomes possible to pick virtually any group and find enough of its procedures in their subtle forms among Lifton's and Singer's list of thought-reform techniques. But if these techniques can be found in virtually any group by the simple expedient of claiming they are used in such a highly refined form that they aren't obvious (or even evident), it no longer becomes possible to make valid distinctions between groups that are cults and groups that are not on the basis of the techniques criterion. Instead, what happens is that groups are placed under suspicion of being cults on other grounds, which typically boil down to the fact that they have beliefs one does not oneself hold, or that one does not care for the personality of the leader, or other irrelevancies (including that one has left a particular group and needs to find justification for doing so). Only then are the technique criteria applied, and lo and behold, these suspect groups are all found to utilize very subtle forms of these techniques. From court testimony in a Hare Krishna case by cult expert G. Gordon Melton: More recently, several people have espoused the idea of brainwashing (also termed thought control, coercive persuasion, or mind control). Proponents suggested that cults had discovered a new psychological technology, a technology which has somehow escaped the rest of the psychological world. With this technology it brainwashed young recruits and held them with such force that they are unable to break the spell of attachment to the group. These ideas which seemed to actually have a body of evidence behind them, provoked a heated debate among social scientists in the early 1980s. In the mid 1980s, the whole brainwashing perspective was thoroughly evaluated by the American Psychological Association. After looking at a detailed report prepared by the major advocates of this perspective [including Singer--JS], the American Psychological Association concluded that the idea of brainwashing and mind control as popularly applied to the new religious movements was scientifically unacceptable. It had been arrived at through a sloppy metholology and poor scientific work. Subsequently the American Sociological Association and the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion reached a similar conclusion. As a result, testimony concerning brainwashing and mind control have properly been banished from consideration by American courts as an idea lacking any scientific credibility.

It's still fairly common, as I said (and the AARP confirms). Last time I got a flu shot I paid them 10 bucks and they gave me the shot. I could have been a Martian for all they cared. And that proves...what, exactly? My health insurance card, with TEIGIT, has my SS# on it. I complained to them, because I can't carry the card in my wallet. They said they were working on a new system, but it wouldn't be ready for some time yet. Well, neither my health insurance card or that for my kids has any SS #s on it. My driver's license used to, but they stopped that years ago. I don't remember whether or not I had to give it to apply for any of the credit cards I've had over the years. I had to give my SS# to open a bank account six five years ago. You have to give it on most credit card applications. My landlord wanted it when I first rented the condo I just bought, also five years ago. And these relate to the TMO how, exactly? Would you describe any of the above situations as routine? SS #s are generally asked for when security issues are at stake, like with savings accounts and deeds, or when dealing with large amounts of people. Neither of those situations applies to the TMO courses, especially nowadays. You didn't answer my question, Sal. I don't think you have any actual threat in mind. You just thought it sounded good to use the word intimidation. And you've proven my point for me, by admitting you wouldn't give it to them. I think they know perfectly well that people, in general, don't like to give them out and probably never have. I doubt they'd use them for anything (since to my knowledge they never actually have)-- It's a power trip. And I don't think getting involved in that kind of game is healthy. And another point--usually when an organization asks you for one, that's it. They don't keep asking you every single time. These idiots just want you to know they've got something on you--again and again. And again, see the AARP link, which explains why SS#s are routinely used for identification. I didn't see any link. For the record, if I had to give them my SS# to go on a course these days, I wouldn't do it, even if it meant I couldn't go. I don't trust them to keep those records secure from people who might use them for identity theft. So then you *do* think they could be used for nefarious purposes- - Of course. But that's not why the TMO is asking for them, obviously. OK, why are they asking for them then? who else besides people in the TMO would ever have access to that info? Not everyone in the TMO is necessarily an upstanding citizen, first of all. Some lower-level administrative person with financial needs and no scruples might have access to a list of SS#s and get ideas. Lists of SS#s are worth big bucks in the identity theft market. You can sell them to brokers, who then sell them to individuals who commit the actual identity theft. Second, there are any number of ways the numbers could get to non-TMO people. Someone could walk in a door left unlocked and steal the records; some nitwit TMer could throw a batch of unneeded printouts in the trash; a janitor could find the records sitting on someone's desk; a hacker could break into the computer system if it weren't secured properly, etc., etc., etc. This is why you don't want to have to give out your SS# if you can possibly avoid it--because they're *worth lots of money*, and even an organization with the most spotless motives can be careless about how they're handled. Knowing the level of disorganization and general incompetence in the TMO, I simply wouldn't trust them to keep the numbers secure. That's my point exactly. Whether it's directly by someone with some nefarious intent, or simply because some idiot gets careless, you would not trust the TMO with potentially sensitive information. Neither would I.

The cult/thought reform information was useful for me but it may not be for everyone. There are ways to understand it that don't involve seeing yourself as a victim. As a teacher my first instinct in learning about this aspect of groups was to decide that I couldn't ethically teach the system to others. I decided that before I stopped meditating. I felt as though the way the information was imparted was not done in a manor that I was comfortable with. But everyone has to decide for themselves if this information is useful for their lives. Once I learned about it, I sought it out. That was my choice. It may not be yours or you may have already checked it out and decided it doesn't apply. But learning about how groups can shift beliefs doesn't make you a victim unless you want it to. It is just an influence. There are a lot of factors that influence its effectiveness.

But even that would be a rather peculiar assertion from someone who was supposedly scientifically minded. First, her sample of former TMers is self-selected, on two levels: (1) these are people who sought out therapy; (2) they are people who sought out *Singer* as their therapist. Second, neither Singer nor anyone else that I'm aware of has ever made a serious attempt to distinguish preexisting pathology from the effects of TM. (Indeed, given the specific claims TM makes and its documented effectiveness in some areas--e.g., reducing trait anxiety--it's likely that people with preexisting pathology tend to gravitate to TM in relatively larger numbers, so that's another factor skewing the sample.) So for her to suggest that her patients' damage was a result of their TM practice and/or exposure to its purported thought-reform techniques is completely unsupported by any data. Curtis, Singer may have been a very nice lady, but she was a *sloppy thinker*. To use her model and analysis as the basis of your perspective on your TM experience is iffy at best, and to promote it to others without the appropriate caveats is just plain irresponsible.

[FairfieldLife] Invincible Israel
y RAMIT PLUSHNICK-MASTI, Associated Press Writer 54 minutes ago JERUSALEM - With the purchase of two more German-made Dolphin submarines capable of carrying nuclear warheads, military experts sayIsrael is sending a clear message toIran that it can strike back if attacked by nuclear weapons. The purchases come at a time when Iran is refusing to bow to growing Western demands to halt its nuclear program, and after Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has called for Israel to be wiped off the map. The new submarines, built at a cost of $1.3 billion with Germany footing one-third of the bill, have propulsion systems that allow them to remain submerged for longer periods of time than the three nuclear-capable submarines already in Israel's fleet, the Jerusalem Post reported. The latest submarines not only would be able to carry out a first strike should Israel choose to do so, but they also would provide Israel with crucial second-strike capabilities, said Paul Beaver, a London-based independent defense analyst. Israel is already believed to have that ability in the form of the Jericho-1 and Jericho-2 nuclear-capable ballistic missiles, which are buried so far underground they would survive a nuclear strike, he said. The Iranians would be very foolish if they attacked Israel, Beaver said. German officials have said the contract for the new submarines was signed on July 6, and the Jerusalem Post reported this week the subs will be operational shortly. Israel, operating on a policy of nuclear ambiguity, has never confirmed or denied whether it has nuclear weapons. It is believed, however, to have the world's sixth-largest stockpile of nuclear weapons, including hundreds of warheads. Iran so far has resisted calls by theU.N. Security Council to halt uranium enrichment, despite an Aug. 31 deadline that is accompanied by the threat of sanctions. The dispute over Tehran's nuclear program revolves around Iran's insistence that it wants to master the technology simply to generate electricity. Critics say Iran wants to make nuclear weapons. The Dolphin submarine could be one of the best deterrents, Beaver said. The technology on the submarines makes them undetectable and gives them defensive capabilities in the case of attack, he said. They are very well-built, very well-prepared, lots of interesting equipment, one of the best conventional submarines available, Beaver said. We are talking about a third string of deterrence capabilities. Michael Karpin, an expert on Israel's nuclear capabilities who published a book on the issue in the United States, said nuclear submarines provide better second-strike capabilities than missiles launched from airplanes. Planes are vulnerable, unlike nuclear submarines that can operate for an almost unlimited amount of time without being struck, Karpin said. Second-strike capabilities are a crucial element in any nuclear conflict. In Germany, members of two opposition parties criticized the deal. Winfried Nachtwei, national security spokesman for the Greens, said the decision was wrong because Germany had obtained no guarantee the submarines would not be used to carry nuclear weapons. This red line should not be crossed, Nachtwei was quoted as saying by the taz newspaper. Otherwise it is a complete renunciation of Germany's policy of non-proliferation. David Menashri, an Israeli expert on Iran, said Tehran is clearly determined to obtain nuclear power and the purchase of additional Dolphin submarines by Israel is a small footnote in this context. What also makes Tehran dangerous, Beaver said, is that it may not understand the consequences of carrying out a nuclear strike. They (Iran) have a belligerent leadership and that's why Israel is prudent in ensuring that it has that deterrent capability, Beaver said. What they (the submarines) are is a very good insurance policy. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'

[FairfieldLife] Ladies' Dome Mold
Title: Ladies' Dome Mold From a friend: The air quality in the ladies dome is very, very poor. I don't know how you ladies put up with it day in and day out. I could hardly breathe when I finally left. Mold filled to the max. I felt that my lips looked like Angelina's by the time I came out. I am very sensitive to mold but that was overkill for my system. Phew.

--- Anunnaki intervention into human evolution: http://www.darkstar1.co.uk/ASPM.html The sudden introduction of ASPM into our genetic lineage occurred around the time of Anu's state visit to Earth as described by Zecharia Sitchin. This occurred around the time of Nibiru's appearance. Which means that the passage of Nibiru is intimately connected not just with our rapid social development and evolution, but with actual physical changes in our genetic make-up. --- --- To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'

Why don't you tell John to call MMY and ask him if you should be let in the dome? You could tell John that he is in no position to accept the karma of blocking the good intent of someone who wants to get in the dome. Only MMY can decide that. On an ATR ('77) I was on many moons ago, someones mother was being blocked from attending TTC because she taught asanas. When MMY came to see us her son told MMY directly about the situation he was surprised. He said outloud something like: She can't go to TTC because she's teaching asanas? He acted like it was the stupidest decision he had ever heard. He turned to his secretary and told him to fix it. His mom got on TTC right away. Hagelin told me he had taken it as far as he was willing to take it at this time, having recently stuck his neck out quite a lot. I do not at this time feel any impulse toward further action, although that could change in the future, of course.
