[FairfieldLife] Re: Intellect
I think you misunderstand the question: stop and start refer to the boundaries of mind and intellect, respectively - not their functional status. Moreover, the problem is not how normal a state is with reference to the Universe/Cosmos in toto, but the discrepancy between this state and other states when moving between - especially in short time - as happens with correctly performed TM. Reading MMY's comments on the BG it's obvious that intellectually understanding higher states is required, lest confusion should set in. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, sparaig [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, peterklutz peterklutz@ wrote: So, where does mind stop and intellect start?

Has anyone had a clear experience of ritam bhara pragya? I ask because I would love to hear about your experience. I've only had one clear experience of rhitam bhara pragya (RBP) and that was before I started TM. I only knew what it was several years later on TTC when MMY mentioned it and said that you know everything and I thought Yikes! I've had that before. One thing that was very clear during the experience was that everybody is always functioning from this level, but there is a turning away of awareness from this level of the intellect. --- peterklutz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I think you misunderstand the question: stop and start refer to the boundaries of mind and intellect, respectively - not their functional status.

Once I asked a co-worker how a variety of lawn sprinkler worked, following up my question with a description of how I guessed it would work, and he said, that's pretty much how it works, yes. I suspect we all cultivate some value of rhitam in work which demands subjective judgments about stuff. I do it all the time in marketing, where one person's opinion seems just as valid as another's. Should we sell alternative health services to people who've never used them before, or try to lure patients from other alternative practitioners? One approach will feel more true than the other.

Is being scatterbrained your normal state of awareness? Is there something wrong with the cabling from your eyes to your brain that make the letters appear different than what they are? Is there something wrong with your brain as it attempts to process the information it receives? Are you just bullshitting? In the context of the question, the confusion would (of course) set in as a result of not intellectually grasping experiences of higher states of consciousness - which reaaly shouldn't need explaning to people with any level of knowledge of MMY and his approach to these things.

[FairfieldLife] Maharishi supports the Republicans
I heard on the radio yesterday that public support for George W. Bush and the Republican Party is trending up, thanks in part to falling gasoline prices. When I heard that, I thought of all those rosy Age of Enlightenment News reports from the Global Country of World Peace, crediting TM superradiance with rising positivity. If those cause-effect correlations are valid, Maharishi is contributing to the re-election of Republicans in November's elections.

Circling your block for one hour is recommended for this anti-terrorist effort All men are to position themselves in lawn chairs in front of their houses to prove they are not Muslims, and to demonstrate they think it's okay to see nude women other than their wives and to show support for all American women. Since Islam also does not approve of alcohol, a cold 6 -pack at you side is further proof of your anti-Muslim sentiment. The American government appreciates your efforts to root out terrorists and applauds your participation in this anti-terrorist activity. God bless America. It is your patriotic duty to pass this on. ---End Message---
[FairfieldLife] The true meaning of the word, *infidel*..........
The battle of the Bhagavad Gita wages on the field of Kurukshetra (the physical and subtle bodies) for the undisputed reign of the bodily kingdom, which is the war between Buddhi, or discriminative intelligence and avidya, or ignorance. Every spiritual aspirant wishing to win this battle must defeat the rebels (the *infidels* or 100 evil minded sons of Dhritarashtra; lust, greed, anger, and so forth up to 100) by 'Pandu' and the POWERS of virtue unfolded in meditation by the 5 chakras; self restraint, obedience, good habits, vitality/virtue, calmness (samadhi). Once this is accomplished he/she is considered a Siddha,(perfected being). I personally don't know any Siddhas in spite of how cavalierly the word is thrown around today.

According to the Government's Islamic Development Department's (IDD) website, fifty-six deviant teachings had been identified and prohibited to Muslims as of June 2006. They included Shi'a, transcendental meditation, and Baha'i teachings, among others. The Government asserted that deviationist teachings could cause divisions among Muslims. The IDD has established written guidelines concerning what constitutes deviationist behavior or belief. State religious authorities, in making their determinations on these matters, have generally followed the federal guidelines. Members of groups deemed deviationist may be arrested and detained, with the consent of a Shari'a court, in order to be rehabilitated and returned to the true path of Islam. In June 2005 the religious affairs minister told parliament that 22 deviant religious groups with an estimated 2,820 followers had been identified in the country.

[FairfieldLife] Chilling Effect on Religion: IRS Witch hunt on church with anti-war sermon
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/09/16/national/main2015503.shtml AP) The Internal Revenue Service has ordered a prominent liberal church to turn over documents and e-mails it produced during the 2004 election year that contain references to political candidates. The IRS is investigating whether All Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena violated the federal tax code when its former rector, Rev. George F. Regas, delivered an anti-war sermon on the eve of the last presidential election. Tax-exempt organizations are barred from intervening in political campaigns and elections, and the church could lose its tax-exempt status. ... There is a lot at stake here, Bacon said. If the IRS prevails, it will have a chilling effect on the practice of religion in America. An IRS spokesperson declined comment on the investigation. In a sermon two days before the 2004 election, Regas did not urge parishioners to support President Bush or challenger John Kerry but was critical of the Iraq war and Bush's tax cuts, Bacon said in an interview last November when the investigation was announced. He explicitly said, 'I am not telling you how to vote.' That is the golden boundary we did not cross, he said. All Saints has a long history of social activism, dating back to World War II, when its rector spoke out against the internment of Japanese Americans. Regas, who headed the church for 28 years before retiring in 1995, was well-known for opposing the Vietnam War, championing female clergy and supporting gays and lesbians in the church.

[FairfieldLife] Mad-Cow disease in Milk
-Source:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Published: November 3, 2005 Prions suspected in milk Sheep mammaries shown to contain agents of fatal brain disease. Andreas von Bubnoff The inflamed mammary glands of sheep have been found to contain protein particles that cause scrapie, a sickness similar to mad cow disease. This suggests that the suspect proteins, called prions, may also be present in the milk of infected animals. If prions exist in the milk of cows infected with both an inflammatory illness and mad cow disease, formally known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), this raises concerns for human health. Consumption of prion-contaminated meat from cows with BSE is believed to cause the fatal variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) in people; so might contaminated milk. Adriano Aguzzi, the lead researcher on the study, has not detected prions in milk itself, because it is difficult to analyse for the abnormal proteins. But he says he expects to find them. "It is unlikely that the prions are not in the milk," says Aguzzi, a pathologist at the University of Zurich Hospital, Switzerland. "And the prospect is not a pleasant one." Neil Cashman, a prion researcher at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, is worried too. People have looked for prions in the milk of cows with BSE and haven't found any, he says. "But they haven't looked in cows with mammary-gland infection and BSE." "This raises very serious questions," concludes Cashman. Inflamed in the brain Prions are mainly found in the brain, spinal cord and immune system. Until recently, other body parts were thought to be relatively safe. But in a series of studies, Aguzzi's group has shown that prions can be present in other organs as well, provided that these organs are inflamed. Earlier this year, his group found prions in inflamed pancreases, livers and kidneys. A study last month showed that the urine produced by inflamed kidneys in mice also contains prions. All this has helped to solve the mystery of how wild herds of elk and deer, which are vegetarian, might manage to contract prion diseases from each other. And it prompted Aguzzi to look at mammary glands to see if they could carry prions too. Viral culprit? The researchers went to Sardinia, a Mediterranean island with more than a million sheep, and analysed 261 sheep that were genetically susceptible to scrapie. Of those, seven had scrapie, and four also had an infection of their mammary glands. All these four had prions in their mammary glands; the others did not. The study appears this week in Nature Medicine1. The mammary-gland infections were caused by a virus called Maedi Visna. Aguzzi says that if this prion-virus combination is common, it may be a clue to how to fight the transmission of scrapie. "Maybe to eradicate scrapie you have to eradicate the virus first," Aguzzi says. The prion concentration in the sheep's mammary glands is thousands of times lower than in the brain, says Aguzzi. This is probably good news, although it is not known how many prions it takes to cause vCJD in humans. Do you Yahoo!? Get on board. You're invited to try the new Yahoo!

One can sympathize with the outrage voiced by former Clinton secretary of state Madeleine Albright, and even feel the pain of former Clinton national security adviser Sandy Berger (who, as National Review's John J. Miller reminds us, was last seen trying to sneak classified documents out of the National Archives), at the prospect of having wholly invented dialogue and actions attributed to them in the two-part miniseries The Path to 9/11, which ran earlier this week. But the Democrats' full-court press to have ABC either make extensive changes or, as Bill Clinton himself put it in a letter to ABC executives, pull the drama entirely served to confirm the old adage about anger and outrage being dependent on whose ox is being gored. (No, the former vice president wasn't a factor in the film.) ABC aired the movie but removed some of the more problematic material and ran a disclaimer advising viewers that what they were watching was a dramatization with fictionalized scenes. Given the furor among Democratic partisans in the days leading up to the scheduled airing, the smart money had been on ABC caving completely. For example, the Democratic National Committee posted an online petition to Keep `Path to 9/11' Propaganda Film Off The Air, calling the movie a conservative attempt to rewrite the history of September 11 to blame Democrats, just in time for the election. The Senate Democratic leadership, in a letter to Robert Iger, CEO of ABC's parent Walt Disney Company, warned that showing the film would be a gross miscarriage of your corporate and civic responsibility and urged Iger to uphold your responsibilities as a respected member of American society and as a beneficiary of the free use of the public airwaves to cancel this factually inaccurate and deeply misguided program. Meanwhile, the Democratic Party house organ known as the New York Times, in a September 12th editorial, archly lectured filmmakers that when attempting to recreate real events on screen, you do not show real people doing things they never did. But the reaction from Democrats and their media acolytes was markedly different back in November 2003, when CBS moved a docudrama about Ronald and Nancy Reagan off its network schedule and relegated it instead to the lightly viewed Showtime cable channel after Republicans complained about fictitious, mean-spirited remarks inserted by screenwriters into the mouth of Mr. Reagan. The Senate's top Democrat at the time, South Dakota's Tom Daschle (defeated in his bid for reelection in 2004), called the CBS decision appalling and said the network had totally collapsed in the face of Republican criticism.

Essentially the network has given [Republicans] veto power over the content it puts on the air the decision makes it very easy to imagine a future where representatives for the Bush administration have the power to disapprove of any content that touches politics, policy, or history including news programs. Ever faithful to their Democratic leash-holders, the lapdog editorialists at the New York Times, while acknowledging that people close to Mr. Reagan had reason to be angry at the film's portrayal of the former president, saved their opprobrium for the real villains conservatives, protective of Mr. Reagan's image at all times, who launch[ed] one of the fierce assaults that have become so familiar whenever the right wants to scare the media on an ideological question. In the Times's judgment, CBS was wrong to yield to conservative pressure and yank [the Reagan film]. It's not exactly a mystery why the Times was far less concerned about political attempts to suppress artistic freedom in the case of the 9/11 miniseries. As the September 12th Times editorial lamented, The second episode was wrapped around a live speech by President Bush, so it was especially unfortunate that the most questionable scenes all seemed to

Rick and Alex, is this spam? Does it got anything to do with FFL? --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Jason Spock [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: -Source: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Published: November 3, 2005 Prions suspected in milk Sheep mammaries shown to contain agents of fatal brain disease. Andreas von Bubnoff The inflamed mammary glands of sheep have been found to contain protein particles that cause scrapie, a sickness similar to mad cow disease. This suggests that the suspect proteins, called prions, may also be present in the milk of infected animals. If prions exist in the milk of cows infected with both an inflammatory illness and mad cow disease, formally known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), this raises concerns for human health. Consumption of prion-contaminated meat from cows with BSE is believed to cause the fatal variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) in people; so might contaminated milk. Adriano Aguzzi, the lead researcher on the study, has not detected prions in milk itself, because it is difficult to analyse for the abnormal proteins. But he says he expects to find them. It is unlikely that the prions are not in the milk, says Aguzzi, a pathologist at the University of Zurich Hospital, Switzerland. And the prospect is not a pleasant one. Neil Cashman, a prion researcher at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, is worried too. People have looked for prions in the milk of cows with BSE and haven't found any, he says. But they haven't looked in cows with mammary-gland infection and BSE. This raises very serious questions, concludes Cashman. Inflamed in the brain Prions are mainly found in the brain, spinal cord and immune system. Until recently, other body parts were thought to be relatively safe. But in a series of studies, Aguzzi's group has shown that prions can be present in other organs as well, provided that these organs are inflamed. Earlier this year, his group found prions in inflamed pancreases, livers and kidneys. A study last month showed that the urine produced by inflamed kidneys in mice also contains prions. All this has helped to solve the mystery of how wild herds of elk and deer, which are vegetarian, might manage to contract prion diseases from each other. And it prompted Aguzzi to look at mammary glands to see if they could carry prions too. Viral culprit? The researchers went to Sardinia, a Mediterranean island with more than a million sheep, and analysed 261 sheep that were genetically susceptible to scrapie. Of those, seven had scrapie, and four also had an infection of their mammary glands. All these four had prions in their mammary glands; the others did not. The study appears this week in Nature Medicine1. The mammary-gland infections were caused by a virus called Maedi Visna. Aguzzi says that if this prion-virus combination is common, it may be a clue to how to fight the transmission of scrapie. Maybe to eradicate scrapie you have to eradicate the virus first, Aguzzi says. The prion concentration in the sheep's mammary glands is thousands of times lower than in the brain, says Aguzzi. This is probably good news, although it is not known how many prions it takes to cause vCJD in humans. - Do you Yahoo!? Get on board. You're invited to try the new Yahoo! Mail.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Maharishi supports the Republicans
I think falling gasoline prices has a bit to do with the up-coming elections; remember the Bush family and the Saudis are in bed together?...R.G. I heard on the radio yesterday that public support for George W. Bush and the Republican Party is trending up, thanks in part to falling gasoline prices. When I heard that, I thought of all those rosy Age of Enlightenment News reports from the Global Country of World Peace, crediting TM superradiance with rising positivity. If those cause-effect correlations are valid, Maharishi is contributing to the re-election of Republicans in November's elections. So J, are you suggesting that dome numbers decrease so that the country might go to hell in a hand basket and people will take it out on the Republicans in November? This is exactly what Rush has said for years, that the Democrats have set them selves up so that bad news for America is great news for them and great news for America is bad for them. Perhaps if Democrats could show the American people how their policies have contributed and been instrumental in bringing gasoline prices down, they could claim some of the credit, or show how they have worked *with* the administration on counter terrorism efforts to prevent further attacks . Instead what so many people see is a thorn in the side instead of a helping hand, thus they get no credit. The Republicans, if you haven't noticed, are in control. How the hell can the Democrats' policies be instrumental in doing *anything* when they can't get them implemented in Congress? Gas prices per se are unlikely to be affected by anything Congress does in any case. The Democrats *have* proposed one measure after another to improve national security only to have them voted down by the Republicans. The consensus of independent expert opinion is that Bush's policies have made us *more* vulnerable to terror, not less.
