 Rick, them is fightin' words.  As soon as there comes a public 
 defender of the TMorg faith here you are in trouble.
 
 Unless appointed otherwise, they do need a public defender here, 
 someone who could stand in the dock and give it back when charged.  
 I'd still like to see RudraJoe take on the postion of public 
 defender of the TMorg and MMY here by appointment.  As a public 
 service.  If anyone is up to it i do think his mind could be.
 
 I was sorry when Ken Wood bowed out recently.  The current 
 replacement for Jane Hopson in TMorg fund raising, Jonathan Worster 
 a long time ago too used to post.  They gave the brilliant true-
 believer reply in short bursts but withered and retreated in the 
 public crossfire.  It is kind of an indefensible postion being a 
 defender of the TMOrg and MMY almost anywhere now, to the point of 
 having to crawl on bellies.  Position wanted, defender of the 
 faithful at FFL.  Public service minded volunteers wanted. Apply on 
 line @FFL.  Just send sample of your writing and thinking to FFL.  

It's hard finding someone who has kept themselves 
far enough away from the TMO to still be willing 
to defend it.

About the only people left who have managed that 
are the long-term meditators who carefully never 
went to TTC and never got involved with the movement. 
They wisely did this *so that* they could preserve 
their illusions about Maharishi, enlightenment, and
the TMO. It also helps to have never met Maharishi 
or been in the same room with him.

But lately even this is not enough, because even
though these folks have tried their best never to
hear anything that disturbs their fantasies, they've
heard enough that even they don't claim to support
the TMO and Maharishi any more. In fact, when called
TM TBs, they become irate and attack the person who
called them that.

So my feeling is that if you want to fill the position
of Public Defender of the TMO, you're gonna have to
*recruit* for it. Find a place where unemployment is
out of control and people are desperate for a job,
any job, and then find someone who is willing to
read any script placed in front of him for a price.
To be certain that he doesn't improvise or deviate
from the script in any way, you should make sure that
the guy does NOT start TM. Otherwise, he might find
out that many of the claims he'll be reading about 
it aren't true. Also, he should never learn or be
allowed to witness yogic flying, only photographs
of people in mid-air, *as if* they were flying.

Follow these guidelines and I'm sure you'll find a
good spokesperson soon. Just pick some guy who looks
fairly healthy and smiles a lot and who can read a
script. It won't *matter* that the guy doesn't do TM
and never has -- if time has shown anything with 
regard to the TMO, it's that appearance is more
important than reality.

 Much better.
 
 But might I point out that I suspect the reason you 
 believe that a cautious approach is necessary is 
 because you were told this, over and over and over 
 and over, for decades, by Maharishi?   
 
  Not everyone has been studying comparative spirituality as you 
have, 
  and for as long as you have. So for most people I believe a 
  conservative approach is best. Especially for a technique as 
  powerful as TM.
 
 I honestly believe the opposite. I believe that all 
 seekers deserve to be treated as adults, because they
 really are -- they've been around the spiritual block
 hundreds or thousands of times before in previous incarn-
 ations, or they would never have run into meditation in
 this one. Therefore they deserve to be treated like the
 experienced seekers they are.
 
 Maharishi clearly does not think this way. He treats
 his students like children, with himself as Daddy. That
 is his right, and it is your right to believe that this
 is appropriate. Me, I just think that treating people
 like children is a great way of keeping them children
 forever, and that that's the point.
 
  As a general policy with regard to TM and other techniques, as 
far 
  as I heard it directly when involved with the TMO, it sounds 
about 
  right. You may be an exception to that policy, being able to 
  entertain multiple techniques at once (though not TM).
 
 I believe that *everyone* is an exception to this
 rule, because the rule DOES NOT EXIST, but it's OK 
 to agree to disagree about this...

To leave Maharishiji after many years of meditation for some other 
practice is a spiritual suicide.

[FairfieldLife] Suspension of disbelief taken to its ultimate extreme

2006-09-08 Thread TurquoiseB
If you ever start feeling that TMers will believe *anything*,
just take a look at this page to see the kinds of things
that Nablus and his fellow Benjamin Creme freaks believe. 
It's a series of Maitreya sightings, confirmed by Creme 
himself. Every one of them on the page is good for a laugh; 
sample provided below the link:

http://www.shareintl.org/magazine/old_issues/2003/september_03.htm


Dear Editor,

On 23 June 2003 I was in Toulouse, France, and I was going 
back to my brother's apartment, around 11-12pm. Suddenly a 
middle-aged man, looking like a beggar, asked if I could 
help him with some money. He was carrying a huge bag, 
smelled of alcohol and there was a big white dog with him. 
I gave him one euro and then he told me he had an appointment 
with a friend of his who hadn't shown up. We went together 
down the street and he told me about his experiences. He 
said he had travelled a lot, spent some time in Amsterdam 
and India, that he used to be a disciple of Sri Maharishi 
for nine years.

Then he told me he had had an operation some time ago, which 
left him with seven scars on his arm, he then showed me a 
tattoo on his arm looking like a seven-pointed star. He 
also said that his dog, who was like a son for him, had 
had an operation too, which was kind of funny. At one point 
he told me, without knowing where I lived, that we might 
have passed by my building already, which we had. He then 
asked me to hold his heavy bag and took a small address 
book out for the address of his friend living near a 
`Casino' store. Since we had passed in front of it a few 
minutes ago, I offered to show him the way.

When we arrived he used a strange key to open the door and 
said he was not sure his friend was there. I left him, but 
after a few steps he called me again and told me his friend 
was not there. I offered for him to stay inside my building 
where there was enough space for him and his dog. We had 
nearly reached our destination when he told me that his dog 
would know to stand exactly in front of my building's door 
before us — a few seconds later, the dog crossed the street 
and stood in front of it!

Since the main electronic gate was closed I told him I 
couldn't open it as the key was in my brother's house. It 
wasn't a problem for me to climb the gate but for them I 
was not sure. He surprised me again and said it wasn't a 
problem for him, and took a key out which fitted perfectly 
in the lock. When he turned it, the gate opened. I couldn't 
believe my eyes and told him that his key was magic. I 
showed him a place where he could stay with his dog, 
inside the building. He took his sleeping bag and put it 
on the floor and asked me for some food. I told him that 
unfortunately the fridge was empty (in fact it was, except 
for a tin of fish already opened) and again without 
knowing that, he said that a tin of fish would be enough 
for him.

I gave him the food and he asked me for a bowl of water 
for his dog. Because my brother was a little upset by all 
my `comings and goings' I suggested he use a plate. He 
said it was OK, and that he was going to cut half of a 
plastic bottle for this purpose. He thanked me by taking 
my hand in a strange manner, like old friends do.

It was a marvellous experience and all the time I felt a 
strong feeling inside of me. I think that the man and 
his dog were not ordinary beings, and I would like to 
know if you can tell me who they really were.

A. H. Paris, France.

(Benjamin Creme's Master confirms that the `middle-aged man' 
was Maitreya. The `dog' was the Master Jesus.)

   One to skip...
  
  Eh. There's no proof that this was part of the movie. 
  Someone may have slipped out one of the takes. Lynch 
  said he did as many takes as he wanted utnil he got 
  it exactly as he wanted because that's what digital 
  video allowed him to do. I'd wait for another 50 reviews 
  before I decided that I even had a feel for what the 
  reviewers think. And there are plenty of movies that 
  get good reviews at rottentomatoes which I hated and 
  plenty that got bad reviews, so you can't always go 
  by the reviewers or some anonymous posting of video  
  on the internet.
 
 Methinks you've gotten so used to making excuses
 that you now tend to make them automatically.  :-)
 
 You are free to do what you want, of course. But
 any filmmaker who could shoot that footage, even
 as a throwaway to test color values, is not some-
 one who is going to get me to plunk down my 10
 Euros to see his movies. Even *Warhol* shot more
 interesting footage than that.


I didn't say it was throwaway. The entire movie was improvisational. If he 
didn't like an 
improvisation, he had them do it again, sometimes he'd have them do a single 
line or 
expression over and over again until he got it the way he wanted. Perhaps this 
was the 
finest take of this scene or the worst or perhaps it never made it into the 
finsihed movie.

Are you suggesting that this is a good way to judge  Lynch's previous works, 
BTW? Because 
you're implying that you can judge all of the director's works by seeing  one 
scene out-of-
context...

Of course, come to think of it, this DOES fit in with the way y ou come across 
in your posts 
here and on a.m.t.

In all seriousness, Lawson, if their interactions 
struck you as real-to-life, you're ready to join
Nablus in accepting the pronouncements of Creme.  :-)

Stop embarrassing yourself, dude. The only reason
you are cutting this stuff any slack is because
Lynch is a well-known TMer. If he were anything
else you'd be as amazed at its awfulness as every-
one else here has been. And if he were a prominent 
Buddhist, you'd be saying that the footage proves 
that Buddhist meditation techniques make the mind 
confused and lazy.  

Sparaig's idea of real-to-life dialog, devoid
of fake Hollywood emotion:

Zombiewoman1: Will you give me a sip of your drink?

Zombiewoman2: Sure. You can have the rest.

:-)  :-)  :-)

The hilarious thing is that now, having stood up
for Lynch and put his cred on the line, Sparaig's 
actually going have to see the movie and sit through 
almost three hours of this mindnumbingly awful pap, 
three hours of his life he'll never get back.

said the meaningful glances between the two women were more true-to-life than 
much of

lecture about blood. Just ridiculous. It was the first
time I realized that Charlie didn't have some sort of
cosmic pipeline to the truth that so many of us
thought he had. He also criticised a TM-Sidha who said
he had taken SSRS's Sudarshan Kriya course by saying,
Shame on you. Maharishi has given you the keys to the
kingdom of heaven. Nothing else is needed. I knew
that he did not have the TM-Sidhi program and I
thought out of what authority does he speak? I'll
always love Charlie, but he was not the great sage of
truth that we starry-eyed  TMer's thought he was.

hate to say it but it's true, lie to manipulate people

  He used to say all kinds of wild stuff. He read a
  lot of esoteric books and
  then parroted the information as if he had
  personally received it from the
  Great White Brotherhood.

I don't think I was ever a starry-eyed TMer, and
I definitely never thought he had any kind of 
pipeline to any useful knowledge, but I used to 
go to his Friday night talks in L.A. regularly, 
because it was the best place in town for a TM 
guy to get lucky. 

The women would go and listen to him and get all
starry-eyed and feel that lower chakra kundalini 
energy flowing, and then they'd go for the first 
non-celibate guy they ran into. Even non-TM guys 
knew about the scene and would go there looking 
to get laid, usually successfully.

 It's hard finding someone who has kept themselves 
 far enough away from the TMO to still be willing 
 to defend it.
 
 About the only people left who have managed that 
 are the long-term meditators who carefully never 
 went to TTC and never got involved with the movement. 
 They wisely did this *so that* they could preserve 
 their illusions about Maharishi, enlightenment, and
 the TMO. It also helps to have never met Maharishi 
 or been in the same room with him.
 
 But lately even this is not enough, because even
 though these folks have tried their best never to
 hear anything that disturbs their fantasies, they've
 heard enough that even they don't claim to support
 the TMO and Maharishi any more. In fact, when called
 TM TBs, they become irate and attack the person who
 called them that.

[Somehow I suspect Barry's referring to me here.
Not sure why he's so afraid to utter my name.]

Barry, as I've said a number of times here, is
a liar.

Just how recently would that be, Barry?  As
recently as 11 years ago?

A small selection of quotes from my posts to
alt.m.t:

[March 3, 1995]
Let me put it plainly:  I think the movement *sucks*.

[Me, July 16, 1997]
I'd be the last to contest the notion that the
movement *per se* sucks big-time and often makes
incredibly stupid decisions. 

[November 18, 1997]
The organization sucks.  So what else is new?

[November 26, 1997]
Speaking for myself, the red flags were raised
long ago with regard to movement abuses.  The movement,
as I've said here many times, sucks.

[April 1, 1998]
To sum up those reservations in one phrase (which
I've used often here), the organization *sucks*. 

[October 31, 1998]
In my opinion, the true nature of the TM organization
is that it sucks big-time.

Barry was present on alt.m.t and participating
in many if not all the discussions from which
these quotes were taken.

And just to drive the point home, from a post of
mine to Barry on FFL from July of this year:

Ah, but I don't care about the movement. I think
it sucks, as I've said many, many times.

So there's no question about it, Barry knows what
I think of the movement and has known for many
years.  He is lying through his teeth above.

(He also knows I've made many other criticisms of
the TMO and MMY here, but unfortunately the Advanced
Search is broken, so I can't quote them.)

As to his oft-repeated canard that I never took
TTC because I wanted to preserve [my] illusions,
in fact I didn't take TTC because I *had no illusions*
about the movement and didn't want to get so heavily
involved with an organization I thought sucked.

It's a course. The price is not outrageous. SSRS's
organization, the Art of Living, doesn't over-charge,
especially when contrasted to the TMO! But even
without that contrast their prices are always within
reason.

  SEPTEMBER 6: INVINCIBILITY UPDATE
  
  http://invincibleamerica.org
  
  GOOD NEWS KEEPS GETTING BETTER
  
  September 6, 2006
  
  Today is the 15th day of the second month of US
 national 
 consciousness 
  rising to invincibility, as indicated by the
 following press 
 reports...
  
  The U.S. business press continues to marvel at how
 unexpectedly 
 strong the 
  economy is...
  Bloomberg News: A Bullish Week —Oil prices fell,
 the economic 
 numbers 
  showed steady growth, inflation is not increasing,
 and economic 
 growth is 
  steady.
  
  Mounting fears over dangerously escalating levels
 of inflation are 
 now over... 
  The Washington Post: Federal Reserve Board
 President says 
 inflation is 
  under control
  
  The stock market continues to rise to new
 heights...
  The New York Times: Wall Street rose again
 Tuesday, building on 
 three-
  month highs
  
  And as the stock market soars, the price of oil
 and gas continues 
 to fall...
  Reuters: Oil falls to 3-½ month low as fears
 diminish — Since a 
 record of 
  $78.65 last month, oil prices have fallen steeply
 by around $10 a 
 barrel as a 
  weaker-than-expected hurricane season and easing
 geopolitical 
 tensions 
  have pressured prices downward.
  
  The Christian Science Monitor: Falling gas prices
 may lift entire 
 economy 
  — Over the past month, gasoline prices have
 dropped more than 30 
 cents a 
  gallon, with the price of fuel at the lowest level
 since mid-
 April. The lower 
  pump prices will add $2 billion a month in buying
 power to the 
 economy. 
  Falling gasoline prices are part of an unexpected
 favorable 
 economic mosaic 
  that is developing this fall.
  
  And remarkably, the good energy news just got
 miraculously 
 better...
  Associated Press: U.S. Oil Reserves Could Grow by
 50 Pct. — 
 Results from a 
  deep-water test well in the Gulf of Mexico suggest
 a new pool of 
 oil and gas 
  that could boost U.S. reserves by as much as 50
 percent. The 300-
 square-
  mile region could hold between 3 billion and 15
 billion barrels of 
 oil and 
  natural gas liquids. The discovery carries
 particular importance 
 for the entire 
  industry at a time when Western oil and gas
 companies are finding 
 fewer 
  opportunities in politically unstable parts of the
 world, 
 including the Middle 
  East, Africa, and Russia.
  
  Last week we saw headlines on how European markets
 are rising, 
 spurred by 
  positive news in the US. Now we see the same trend
 on the other 
 side of the 
  world...
  CNBC: Asian stocks rally on upbeat U.S.
  
  Internationally, the U.S. is taking the lead on
 peace 
 initiatives...
  Associated Press: U.S. moves to restart North
 Korea talks
  
  And the U.S.- and France-led brokered deal for an
 end on August 14 
 to the 
  34-day war between the Lebanese militant group
 Hezbollah and 
 Israel, is 
  holding—with unprecedented global support from
 many nations, 
 including 
  Muslim countries, and the United Nations...
  Reuters: UN to mediate on Hizbollah-held Israelis
 — Israel and 
 Hizbollah 
  have both agreed to accept the effort of the
 United Nations to 
 mediate 
  between Israel and Hizbollah for the release of
 two Israeli 
 soldiers seized in 
  July.
  
  Reuters: Qatar pledges 200-300 troops to UN
 Lebanon force — Qatar 
  became the first Arab country to commit troops to
 the expanded UN 
 force set 
  up to keep the peace between Israel and Hizbollah
 guerrillas in 
 south 
  Lebanon.
  
  And finally, on a lighter note, it is interesting
 to see how 
 quickly the words and 
  phrases Maharishi uses make their way into the
 mainstream... For 
 example, 
  the most popular movie for the past two weeks in
 the United States 
 is about a 
  very kind-hearted young man who overcomes all
 obstacles to become 
 a 
  successful athlete. The movie is entitled
 Invincible.

  confused and lazy.  
  
  Sparaig's idea of real-to-life dialog, devoid
  of fake Hollywood emotion:
  
  Zombiewoman1: Will you give me a sip of your
 drink?
  
  Zombiewoman2: Sure. You can have the rest.
  
  :-)  :-)  :-)
  
  The hilarious thing is that now, having stood up
  for Lynch and put his cred on the line, Sparaig's 
  actually going have to see the movie and sit
 through 
  almost three hours of this mindnumbingly awful
 pap, 
  three hours of his life he'll never get back.
 
 
 Are you trying to show your lack of reading
 comprehension? I said nothing about dialog. I 
 said the meaningful glances between the two women
 were more true-to-life than much of 
 the emotive stuff that traditionally comes out of
 Hollywood. Meaningful glances doesn't 
 mean talking out loud.

I've always regarded much, not all, of Lynch's work as
film school crap Lynch has a very creepy aspect to
him that can be manifested in his films. Ever seen
Ereaser Head ? It is a disgusting, grossly over
rated sick film. The clip in discussion is just more
pretentious film nonsense. Notice the chromakey effect
(or whatever it's called now in digital film making,
it's been a few decades!)with the male actor? What's
that for? I just don't like his work. I see Lynch as
quite disturbed. Something is off in his psyche.

  Eh. There's no proof that this was part of the movie. 
  Someone may have slipped out one of the takes. Lynch 
  said he did as many takes as he wanted utnil he got 
  it exactly as he wanted because that's what digital 
  video allowed him to do. I'd wait for another 50 reviews 
  before I decided that I even had a feel for what the 
  reviewers think. And there are plenty of movies that 
  get good reviews at rottentomatoes which I hated and 
  plenty that got bad reviews, so you can't always go

 Methinks you've gotten so used to making excuses
 that you now tend to make them automatically.  :-)
 
 You are free to do what you want, of course. But
 any filmmaker who could shoot that footage, even
 as a throwaway to test color values, is not some-
 one who is going to get me to plunk down my 10
 Euros to see his movies. Even *Warhol* shot more
 interesting footage than that.

Just *imagine* the howls of outrage and scorn from
Barry if someone said, on the basis of a brief clip,
that they weren't going to bother to see a film by
a director Barry admires.

Or, in Lynch tradition, the drink could have been

aphrodisiac, after which the two babes would have
rolled around naked on the ground while the guy

 Just as a contrast, take a look at this
 ten-minute student film, The Ten Steps:

 As I understand it, this filmmaker is 
 not yet 21 years old, and he's *already*
 making better films than Lynch has in
 his entire life.

Pretty good, if not particularly creative or
original; it all hangs on the gimmick at the
end.  And too bad he felt he had to rely so
heavily on Now you should be scared music.

I've never seen a Lynch film except for Fire
Walk with Me, which was awful.  But some of the
first-season episodes he directed of Twin Peaks
on TV were just extraordinary.

 he had taken SSRS's Sudarshan Kriya course by saying,
 Shame on you. Maharishi has given you the keys to the

 that he did not have the TM-Sidhi program and I
 thought out of what authority does he speak? I'll

You mean YOU starry-eyed TMer thought he was.
You may have lisetened to Lutes, but you were in the minority there

Maharishi once said long ago that We love Charlie, but we don't

[FairfieldLife] Re: Variety article on Lynch film

2006-09-08 Thread curtisdeltablues
David Lynch has a lifetime artistic pass from me for Blue Velvet. 
That movie will stay in my top 10 movies forever.   He let Dennis
Hopper totally spin out into one of the most memorable film characters
ever.  His use of Roy Orbison music was totally inspired.  The Candy
Coated Clown scene still haunts me.

Since then he sometimes has lost me, or annoyed me with fragmented
plot information, but he has almost always entertained me with an
original way to look at film.  I liked his experiment short clip. I
dug how he had me on edge with the weirdness of the dialog at first,
and the fact that I wasn't sure if he would go off on the smirky
chicks.  I dug the odd digital effects he tried out to convey change,
it reminded me of  M. Night Shyamalan at his best.  Although I didn't
go along with the song, it reminded me how much I dug Julie Cruise
from the music of  Blue Velvet.  I saw her live and she is great.  

David can seem contrived in his weirdness, but at least he tries to
come up with stuff that has emotional impact in a new way.  His themes
of super purity and total evil together work for me.  The fact that he
thinks giving MMY money will help the world makes him seem charmingly
naive to me.  I'll even give him a pass on that fantasy, it is his money.

   one else here has been. And if he were a prominent
  
   Buddhist, you'd be saying that the footage proves 
   that Buddhist meditation techniques make the mind

   actually going have to see the movie and sit
  through 
   almost three hours of this mindnumbingly awful
  pap, 
   three hours of his life he'll never get back.
  
  
  Are you trying to show your lack of reading

  said the meaningful glances between the two women

Money is relative. And the perception of cost is too. 


In California, $125 gets you:

One bottle of pills and paste + shipping.
Two tanks of gas. (I usually pay 55+ for a tank).
A moderate meal out with your partner (house wine only).
A pair of good sneakers from the discount store.
One 15 minute doctor visit.
A pair of pants and shirt at Macy's during the white sale.
One of the good seats at a Giants' game.

So from the California perspective this is a totally reasonable fee
(cheap, actually). 

P.S. When he comes to Cali, money is never an issue for any type of
course. AOL members are typically generous and very warm hearted as
seva, generosity and charity for the less fortunate is a big part of
the teaching.

 I've always regarded much, not all, of Lynch's work as

 Ereaser Head ? It is a disgusting, grossly over
 rated sick film. The clip in discussion is just more
 pretentious film nonsense. Notice the chromakey effect
 (or whatever it's called now in digital film making,
 it's been a few decades!)with the male actor? What's
 that for? I just don't like his work. I see Lynch as
 quite disturbed. Something is off in his psyche.

But he doesn't act disturbed--in fact, from the weekend he spent here, 
he sounded and acted almost normal. :)

It could be that he's simply bored with the more traditional style of 
making films, ie telling a story with some kind of beginning, middle, 
and end, and with the characters relating to each other in something 
that at least tries to resemble real life, and that he's trying to 
create something different, to push the medium, as it were.

If that's the case, more power to him.  My problem with his films, at 
least Mulholland Drive, the only one recently I've had even the least 
desire to sit through, is that they're weird, scary, and ultimately, 
for me at least, boring.  What the (bleep) went on in that film?? There 
was little story line that I could identify as such, and the characters 
seemed like they were cut out of comic books. It reminded me of nothing 
so much as a deep movie that everybody is supposed to think is great, 
even though no one really had any idea what the (bleep) actually 
happened, but are too scared to say so, thinking that it's their 
problem, and that everyone else got it because they're so much smarter, 
more perceptive, etc.  You know, kind of like the trip the TMO lays on 
people. :)

Anyway, Lynch himself seems nice enough, and I'm sure he's 
talented--maybe one of these days he'll start making movies people 
actually want to watch.

I don't know what kind of pills you're referring to.
The prescription medicine I used to pay $100 a bottle
for in the US costs me 10 Euros a bottle here. Same 
brand, same manufacturer.

 Two tanks of gas. (I usually pay 55+ for a tank).

Comparable.

 A moderate meal out with your partner (house wine only).

Three great 4-course meals out with your partner, 
with a bottle of a pretty great wine at each.

 A pair of good sneakers from the discount store.

Comparable.

 One 15 minute doctor visit.

Five one-hour doctor visits.

 A pair of pants and shirt at Macy's during the white sale.

No Macy's, but 2 of the same at the comparable store
during the twice-yearly sales.

 One of the good seats at a Giants' game.

Dunno.

 So from the California perspective this is a totally reasonable fee
 (cheap, actually). 

I don't know, and am not saying anything about whether 
SSRS's seminars are cheap or expensive. They are 
clearly much cheaper than the TMO prices. The last time 
I saw the Dalai Lama here in France, it cost 20 Euros
a day, for the whole day.  
 
 P.S. When he comes to Cali, money is never an issue for any type of

Same here. All teachers I have seen in France allow
those who can't pay to attend their talks for free.
Those I've met who give in-residence seminars (like
the TM residence courses) all charge a very 
reasonable fee for room and board and course fee 
(say 40-60 Euros a day), but usually allow those 
who can't afford that to camp on the property and 
attend for free.

Yup, I agree. It always bothered me when he would go on about people
picking up on the desire of an *enlightened* one and fulfilling it...

  SEPTEMBER 6: INVINCIBILITY UPDATE
  
  http://invincibleamerica.org
  
  GOOD NEWS KEEPS GETTING BETTER
  
  September 6, 2006
  
  Today is the 15th day of the second month of US national 
 consciousness 
  rising to invincibility, as indicated by the following press 
 reports...
  
  The U.S. business press continues to marvel at how unexpectedly 
 strong the 
  economy is...
  Bloomberg News: A Bullish Week —Oil prices fell, the economic 
 numbers 
  showed steady growth, inflation is not increasing, and economic 
 growth is 
  steady.
  
  Mounting fears over dangerously escalating levels of inflation are 
 now over... 
  The Washington Post: Federal Reserve Board President says 
 inflation is 
  under control
  
  The stock market continues to rise to new heights...
  The New York Times: Wall Street rose again Tuesday, building on 
 three-
  month highs
  
  And as the stock market soars, the price of oil and gas continues 
 to fall...
  Reuters: Oil falls to 3-½ month low as fears diminish — Since a 
 record of 
  $78.65 last month, oil prices have fallen steeply by around $10 a 
 barrel as a 
  weaker-than-expected hurricane season and easing geopolitical 
 tensions 
  have pressured prices downward.
  
  The Christian Science Monitor: Falling gas prices may lift entire 
 economy 
  — Over the past month, gasoline prices have dropped more than 30 
 cents a 
  gallon, with the price of fuel at the lowest level since mid-
 April. The lower 
  pump prices will add $2 billion a month in buying power to the 
 economy. 
  Falling gasoline prices are part of an unexpected favorable 
 economic mosaic 
  that is developing this fall.
  
  And remarkably, the good energy news just got miraculously 
 better...
  Associated Press: U.S. Oil Reserves Could Grow by 50 Pct. — 
 Results from a 
  deep-water test well in the Gulf of Mexico suggest a new pool of 
 oil and gas 
  that could boost U.S. reserves by as much as 50 percent. The 300-
 square-
  mile region could hold between 3 billion and 15 billion barrels of 
 oil and 
  natural gas liquids. The discovery carries particular importance 
 for the entire 
  industry at a time when Western oil and gas companies are finding 
 fewer 
  opportunities in politically unstable parts of the world, 
 including the Middle 
  East, Africa, and Russia.
  
  Last week we saw headlines on how European markets are rising, 
 spurred by 
  positive news in the US. Now we see the same trend on the other 
 side of the 
  world...
  CNBC: Asian stocks rally on upbeat U.S.
  
  Internationally, the U.S. is taking the lead on peace 
 initiatives...
  Associated Press: U.S. moves to restart North Korea talks
  
  And the U.S.- and France-led brokered deal for an end on August 14 
 to the 
  34-day war between the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah and 
 Israel, is 
  holding—with unprecedented global support from many nations, 
 including 
  Muslim countries, and the United Nations...
  Reuters: UN to mediate on Hizbollah-held Israelis — Israel and 
 Hizbollah 
  have both agreed to accept the effort of the United Nations to 
 mediate 
  between Israel and Hizbollah for the release of two Israeli 
 soldiers seized in 
  July.
  
  Reuters: Qatar pledges 200-300 troops to UN Lebanon force — Qatar 
  became the first Arab country to commit troops to the expanded UN 
 force set 
  up to keep the peace between Israel and Hizbollah guerrillas in 
 south 
  Lebanon.
  
  And finally, on a lighter note, it is interesting to see how 
 quickly the words and 
  phrases Maharishi uses make their way into the mainstream... For 
 example, 
  the most popular movie for the past two weeks in the United States 
 is about a 
  very kind-hearted young man who overcomes all obstacles to become 
 a 
  successful athlete. The movie is entitled Invincible.
  USA Today: Invincible Repeats As No. 1 Movie in America
  
  This is just a taste of the wonderful good news coming from the 
 United States 
  on the 15th day of the second month of the Invincible America 
 Course.

[FairfieldLife] Calligraphy beyond words

2006-09-08 Thread authfriend
From the New York Times:

September 8, 2006
Art Review
Pictorial Delights Beyond Words 
By HOLLAND COTTER

IF painting and writing can be seen as modes of thinking, and they 
can, then Brush and Ink: The Chinese Art of Writing, at the 
Metropolitan Museum, is as much a brainstorming session as an art 
exhibition, crackling with ideas and arguments every step of the way. 

It is also a sequence of moods, with impassioned voices calling out 
from the 80 scrolls and inscribed fans spanning several centuries, 
including the 21st, that line the galleries. Poor me, sighs an exiled 
scholar in a sad letter home. Lucky us, sings an exultant empress at 
the height of her power. Other voices, a whole chorus, chime in: Be 
joyous. Be calm. Beware

And once you've seen it, you might even feel that Huang's cursive 
masterpiece out-Pollocks Pollock. Certainly its 60-foot-long flow of 
looping, swooping characters — they twist and shout; pump up, slim 
down; leave skid marks behind them — blurs distinctions between 
writing and painting, control and spontaneity, virtuosity and 
accident. On top of this, it dramatizes, in compelling, 
nonrepresentational terms, a complicated story of political intrigue 
and endangered friendship

By no means everything is wild and crazy. An exquisite eighth-century 
manuscript called Spiritual Flight Sutra is a paradigm of centered 
probity. Its characters are uniform in weight, geometrically 
structured, meticulously aligned. Designed for legibility, they also 
convey the pacific ethos of the Taoist scripture they embody.

I have the same information from a woman who used to
be his personal secretary for years. She described
him as stupefyingly boring in real life (a trait 
that seems to have carried over into his work in
this recent clip). He eats the same thing every day,
at the same time every day, and never deviates.
From what she said, it's almost as if he's so weird
inside that he compensates in his life by acting
overly normal. There is quite possibly some OCD
going down.

 It could be that he's simply bored with the more 
 traditional style of making films, ie telling a 
 story with some kind of beginning, middle, and end, 
 and with the characters relating to each other in 
 something that at least tries to resemble real life...

He *can* do that (The Straight Story), but IMO he
goes for obscure whenever he needs money, because
he knows that it sells. Americans are not quite 
the suckers for pretence and pomposity that the
French are, but enough of the critics are to ensure
a few good reviews, and thus a break-even at the
box office, which is the most important thing to
any director who hopes to direct another film 
after his current one.

I don't personally like his style of filmmaking
very much, but I have to say that almost *everything*
he's ever released, *including* Eraserhead, has been
better than the recent clip. That footage gives me no 
hope whatsoever for the final film.

If the car collided with another that did catch fire, then
the air tanks would, after a while, go off like hand grenades.

Another interesting possibility is getting a lightweight

 the TMO. It also helps to have never met Maharishi 
 or been in the same room with him.

I don't believe this group exists. No one on this board that I have 
read is this naive. You say that people should be treated like 
adults and yet you presume there is a group of childish minds here.

 
 But lately even this is not enough, because even
 though these folks have tried their best never to
 hear anything that disturbs their fantasies, 

No offense meant, but I have seen you make up a couple of fantasies  
recently, so those who don't want their fantasies disturbed is not 
the exclusive club you are imagining it to be.

You stated recently that I was angry and fearful of powerful words, 
curse words, until proven incorrect (my post #99488), and then went 
on to say that the reason I thought a cautious approach to TM was 
due to repetition of this value by Maharishi. Also wrong (my 20 
years of training have formed that opinion of mine).

I think you are probably a cool guy, and we'd enjoy a bottle of wine 
together if in the same place. However, your tendency to believe in 
this large amorphous group of True Believers out there somewhere, 
who are all fearful and angry about the Shining Truth seems kind of 
compulsive to me.

As I said yesterday, I believe that everyone who joins a spiritual 
movement goes through initial phases of brainwashing, proselytizing, 
working for the organization, disillusionment, etc. Its a natural 
part of spiritual maturity.

Continuing to harp about those who may not have torn down all of 
their illusions about the TMO and Maharishi may be a helpful 
exercise for you, but I seriously doubt many of those folks hang out 
here. Even if there are a couple lurking, how much credence do you 
think they are giving an ex Rama, ex TM teacher who calls them angry 
and fearful?

they've
 heard enough that even they don't claim to support
 the TMO and Maharishi any more. In fact, when called
 TM TBs, they become irate and attack the person who 
 called them that.

Again, this illusory group you have created with its imagined anger 
and attacks doesn't exist.

Well, it's only your *claim* that my theories aren't

I find it interesting that the fantasy you *didn't*

geezerfreak. In fact, you haven't mentioned that
particular fiasco since it became obvious that the
superior perception you claim that allows you to

you *claim* are false, but can never prove. 

 I think you are probably a cool guy, and we'd enjoy a bottle of wine

I suspect that's true.

 However, your tendency to believe in

I don't think I've ever described this group as 
large. On this forum I count four of them, with
a possible fifth appearing lately. (You're not one 
of them.) And I will keep referring to them as True 
Believers because I believe that Eric Hoffer's term
is the most accurate for the role that they have
chosen for themselves. 

Besides, it pisses them off no end, and without
exception whenever these folks get pissed off they 
lose control and start acting more like True Believers

out that they're being set up to demonstrate who

 Gee, are family get-togethers uncomfortable, Rick?

He (Jonathan Worcester) invited us to his wedding this summer and it was fine. Havent had a big family get-together but his brother and my wifes sister dont meditate (but used to) so in their eyes, were more normal since were not into the movement.

 Are you considered a black-sheep considering your FFL history and 
 all that?

If so, he hasnt said anything and is always friendly. My sister lives on campus and her husband (Paul Morehead) spends most of his time in Vlodrop working with Keith Wallace. Again, always sweet and friendly. A real gentleman.

[FairfieldLife] Funny Men-from-Mars Women-from-Venus story

2006-09-08 Thread TurquoiseB
Don't blame me...I didn't write it, I just chuckled
over it:

Sexual urges of men and women

I never have quite figured out why the sexual urges 
of men and women differ so much. And I never have 
figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. And I 
never figured out why men think with their head and 
women think with their heart. And I never yet have 
figured out how the sexual desire gene gets thrown 
into a state of turmoil when it hears the words I do. 

One evening last week, my wife and I were getting into 
bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she 
eventually says, I don't feel like it. I just want 
you to hold me. I said, WHAT??? 

So she says the words that I and every husband on the 
planet dread. She explains that I must not be in tune 
with her emotional needs as a woman. I'm thinking, 
What was her first clue? I finally realize that 
nothing was going to happen that night, so I went 
to sleep. 

The very next day, we went shopping at a big, unnamed 
department store. I walked around with her while she 
tried on three different, very expensive outfits. She 
could not decide which one to take, so I told her to 
take all three of them. She then tells me that she 
wants matching shoes worth $200.00 a pair to which 
I say OK. And then we go to the jewelry department 
where she gets a pair of diamond earrings. 

Let me tell you. She was so excited. She must have 
thought that I was one wave short of a shipwreck, 
but I don't think she cared. I think she was testing 
me when she asked for a tennis bracelet because she 
does not even play tennis. I think I threw her for a 
loop when I told her that it was OK. She was almost 
sexually excited from all of this, and you should 
have seen her face when she said, I'm ready to go 
to the cash register now. 

I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, 
No, honey, I don't feel like buying all this stuff 
now. You should have seen her face. It went completely 
blank. I then said, Really, honey, I just want you 
to HOLD this stuff for a while. 

And just when she had this look like she was going to 
kill me, I added, You must not be in tune with my 
financial needs as a man. 

I figure that I won't be having sex again until some 
time after the Spring of 2008 but godammit it was 
worth it.

 truth
  about Realized people. As we all know MMY likes

  hate to say it but it's true, lie to manipulate
 people
  into behaving in a way he wants them to behave.
 This
  has nearly destroyed any trust in the TMO. Look at
 the
  recent re-certified debacle. People promised
 salaries
  but none or only a few given. And of course the
  infamous pundit projects. He never had any
 intention
  of delivering any pundits in the USA.   
  
 
 Yup, I agree. It always bothered me when he would go
 on about people
 picking up on the desire of an *enlightened* one and
 fulfilling it... 
 ('that's a verrry good thing'). For a while, I
 thought his ideas about
 truth telling was a distortion of an Indian cultural
 thing.

I think it is a cultural thing too. East Indians do
have this habit of telling things to people to try to
get them to think and feel a certain way. MMY just has
REAL bad! I think we in the West miss the subtle
non-verbal cues that would let you know that a person
is not being truthful in the Western sense of the
word.

 he knows that it sells. Americans are not quite
 the suckers for pretence and pomposity that the
 French are, but enough of the critics are to ensure
 a few good reviews, and thus a break-even at the
 box office, which is the most important thing to
 any director who hopes to direct another film
 after his current one.

 I don't personally like his style of filmmaking
 very much, but I have to say that almost *everything*
 he's ever released, *including* Eraserhead, has been
 better than the recent clip. That footage gives me no
 hope whatsoever for the final film.

I'd say, at least re: Mullholland Drive, that Dr. Pete's comment about 
film-school crap pretty much sums up my feelings as well.  I'd give 
Lynch a bit more credit than that, perhaps, but not much.

The World's Fastest Indian on the other hand, or The Deep End

Go back and reread his posts to you, and/or

strange definition of viciousness.

 As for being a liar, nothing 
 he has said has caused me to lose money or sleep, so what of it?

Having lost sleep or money because of something
a person said is the only thing that would cause
you not to respect them?  That the person lies
about people on a public forum doesn't bother you?

I guess I wouldn't want to share a bottle of wine
with you either.

[FairfieldLife] MMY ethics?

2006-09-08 Thread johnlasher20002000
Even if MMY's ethics may leave something to be desired, the relevant,
and only relevant question is what is the effectiveness of the TM and
TM Sidhis programs. Do they work or not. I'm interested in a
consensus. This question does not seem to be addressed but only
peripheral issues such as MMY' personal behavior.

Even though the film was paid for and directed
by a friend of mine, until recently I had never
been able to see the What the Bleep movie.

When I did, there was a section in there where
they were talking about how people's brains get
so fucked up and programmed to expect certain
inputs that they become unable to process any
*other* inputs. So, for example, if a person
had gotten hooked early in life that the only
feedback they were likely to get from the world
was in terms of conflict and being in opposition
to someone, they might tend to try for the rest
of their entire lives to create conflict every-
where they go.

But that's probably just a non-sequitur. I now
return you to your normally scheduled bitch.

   who follows his posts knows it.  Why anyone would want
   to be friendly with such a person is beyond me.
  
  I don't think he is all that vicious.
 
 Go back and reread his posts to you, and/or
 those about me and/or Lawson.  You have a
 strange definition of viciousness.
 
  As for being a liar, nothing 
  he has said has caused me to lose money or sleep, so what of it?
 
 Having lost sleep or money because of something
 a person said is the only thing that would cause
 you not to respect them?  That the person lies
 about people on a public forum doesn't bother you?
 
 I guess I wouldn't want to share a bottle of wine
 with you either.

I support your dedication and high standards. I am just more of 
a 'manana' type of person...I find I like something about just about 
everybody- even those I strongly disagree with sometimes-- my 
failing I guess...

 Thanks, but no thanks.  What I told Curtis awhile back
 applies to Barry as well: I have no interest in sharing
 either a meal or a bottle of wine with someone for whom
 I have no respect.

   Fortunately, not all of Rodney Dangerfield¹s friends felt 
   this way.
  
  Applies to you as well, by the way.

Oh well, and I'm getting pretty good at picking out a good bottle 
too...

 I don't think I've ever described this group as 
 large. On this forum I count four of them, with
 a possible fifth appearing lately. (You're not one 
 of them.)

Nor am I, nor is Lawson, as Barry knows.
   
   P.S.: On the scale of True Believership, I am actually
   farther away from the TB end of the scale than Jim is.
   
   Barry knows this, too.
  
  You are automatically invited when Barry and I share

Perhaps, then, he is the one person in need of your love and 
compassion more than anyone else.

Don't you follow the Golden Rule?

 As I said before:
  
  Besides, it pisses them off no end, and without
  exception whenever these folks get pissed off they
  lose control and start acting more like True Believers
  than ever. And they've never, in all these years,
  figured out that they're being set up to demonstrate 
  who and what they are... :-)

Right, of course only True Believers find people
who lie, and those who support them, to be unworthy
of respect.

If you find someone who objects to other people
lying, you can be absolutely sure they're a True
Believer.  Lying just doesn't bother normal people.

And truly spiritual people care even less.

Too bad Eric Hoffer is no longer with us.  I'm
sure he would have been abashed to realize he'd
failed to include this among his True Believer
criteria.
