No, my feeling is that 'someone' is Bevan...

He perhaps feels it could get beyond being able to control easily;

I really believe, someone has some financial connections;
In that Kansas area...
I still can't imagine, who would come up the idea of Kansas;
Had to have been someone who has never been thru there...
All they talk about is the wind; how windy it's gonna be today;
Yeah, how 'bout that wind today
They do have awesome post-cards of Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz,
Bob Dole's from there- Mr.Viagra...
Yeah it's a great place to raise your children, fur sur...
Oh well, 
If all else fails, and there's a revolt in Fairfield...
Beven can always pull the troops to Kansas.
Heck, that's what George Custer did.
History, does repeat itself.

 So far, there have been no confirmed reports of public health or 
 environmental problems related to nanotechnology. But troubling 
 laboratory tests suggest some nanoscale particles may pose novel health 
 risks by, for instance, slipping easily past barriers to the brain that 
 keep larger particles out. Thus, the same attributes that could make 
 the technology valuable for delivering drugs could also make it 
 hazardous.


Actually, I recall some issue with nano-tech particles used in window cleaners, 
so I think the

slashdot.org had an article about it at least 6 months ago, I think.

Dear Sidhas and Governors,

First, we would like to publicly apologize for ever having excluded 
from the domes anyone who wanted to practice Maharishi's program 
there. We would like to welcome everyone back on the condition that 
if you are in the dome, you promise to practice what you have 
learned from Maharishi – no more, no less. In turn, we promise to 
never again judge or exclude anyone for what they may choose to do 
with their private life. We possess neither the wisdom nor the right 
to do this. Let us all come together again in a spirit of love and 
acceptance, and begin once more to radiate the harmony and coherence 
for which the domes were built.

Jai Guru Dev,

Maharisihi Mahesh Yogi

Tehran and Damascus are gearing up for a pre-emptive Syrian 
attack on
  Israel to ward off a US strike on Iran's nuclear sites
  
  
[http://www.debka.com/photos/3357.jpg]
  Our military and Washington sources read as preparatory 
justification
  the Syrian ruler Bashar Asad's statement Saturday, Oct. 7, that 
he
  expects an Israeli attack.
  
  He was speaking in an interview to Kuwaiti paper al-Anba.
  
  Asad's Iranian-backed war plan would serve the purpose of forcing
  the Americans to divide their military assets between a strike 
against
  Iran and the defense of their allies in the Persia Gulf, Israel 
and US
  forces in Iraq. Both are seriously looking at a Syrian attack on 
the
  Golan which would escalate into a full-blown Syrian-Israeli war 
and a
  second Hizballah assault from Lebanon.
  
  Asad's remark that during the Lebanon hostilities, he was under
  pressure from the Syrian population to go to war against Israel 
and
  liberate the Golan is the most direct threat of belligerency of 
all his
  four Golan statements in the last month. He is implying that he 
stood up
  to the pressure once but may not do so again. And for the 
benefit of the
  Americans, the Europeans, the Saudis and the Egyptians - all of 
whom are
  pretty fed up with him – Asad is posing as the picture of
  self-restraint; anyone else in his place, he implies, would have 
taken
  advantage of the Lebanon war and made a grab for the Golan. 
Therefore,
  he is saying, he deserves to be treated with the respect due to a
  strategic asset by Western and moderate Arab powers instead of 
being
  targeted for an ouster.
  
  The Syrian ruler would not threaten war without guarantees from 
Iran.
  According to DEBKAfile's sources, Asad and Iran's supreme ruler
  Ayatollah Ali Khamenei are prompted by the following motives:
  
  1. Tehran is not prepared to wait passively for the Americans to 
build
  up their assault force in the Gulf and strike its nuclear 
facilities. A
  pre-emptive attack would suit them better.
  
  2. Tehran and Damascus have not missed the debilitating crisis 
in which
  Israel's political and military leadership are sunk since the
  Lebanon war. They do not propose to wait until the IDF pulls 
itself
  together enough to handle fresh aggression.
  
  3. Both accept Israel's deputy prime minister Shimon Peres'
  assessment that Israel's cities are not prepared for missile 
attack.
  Iran and Syria take it for granted that Israeli leaders 
understand they
  cannot afford to launch missiles against either one of them for 
fear of
  reprisal in kind.
  
  4. Syria believes that if Hizballah could stand up to the 
Israeli army
  in Lebanon, its commandoes can capture sections of the Golan and 
walk
  off with an easy victory.
  
  5. Tehran figures that the Bush administration is coming to the 
end of
  its patience in Iraq and preparing for a major review of its 
position
  there. The influential U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee 
Chairman,
  John Warner, said Friday that Iraq's government had 60 to 90 
days to
  control the violence that threatens civil war or the United 
States would
  have to reconsider its options. This gives the Maliki government 
in
  Baghdad up to December or January to de-escalate if not halt the
  sectarian war engulfing the country.
  
  Iran, Syria and Hizballah would not be averse to disrupting the 
American
  Iraq timeline by attacking Israel and putting the Bush 
administration on
  the spot, forced to address three warfronts simultaneously.

  Where exactly are you finding $190 million balance in cash?
  
  The Global Development Fund is the largest maharishi entity in 
the US
  with over $200 million in net assets but that's primarily old 
money
  from the 90s with only $3 million in cash.
 
 Actually I think I may have found it.  In 2002, the Maharishi 
Global
 Development Fund took in $76 million in donations.  $58 million of
 that was then transferred out to a variety of offshore accounts in 
the
 Channel Islands.  The primary offshore account is the Brahmanada
 Saraswati trust which received a $53 million grant that year.  This
 same account received $16 million in 2003 and $10 million in 2004 
in
 grants from the MMY Glb. Dev Acc't, which represents the majority 
of
 its own donations for those years.  So it seems that US donations 
to
 the pundits have gone into the Glb. Dev fund for tax purposes but 
then
 get transferred out to an offshore account where of course they 
can't
 be traced any further.  I can't imagine what else that $76 million 
in
 donations in 2002 could be connected to.  Was that the year the
 millionaire courses started??
 
 Anyway, unless someone can get records from a private offshore 
account
 we don't know how the pundit donations have been used.
 
 I'm still curious where Bob saw the $190 million in cash?
 
 PS -- The biggest expense for the MMY Glb Dev fund in 2002 was $2.7
 million paid to Equine 121 Consulting in Texas.  This must be
 related to that real estate scandal in texas in which the movement
 paid a bunch of money to some ex-politician to fix some deal which
 cost the locals a bunch of money -- anyone remember those details??

Sir Mark,
Looks like the tmo may have hired a consultant to lobby the City 
Counsil with regards to the re-zoning issues.

It appears the City wants to re-zone as agricultural land.

And, the tmo which failed to develop the 300 acres with a whirled 
peas palace, and tehy await a buyer.
Doesn't look the parcel will sell anytime soon due primarily to the 
re-zoning issues, as there isn't a master plan in place now.
See related articles..

THE COLONY – The Maharishi Global Development Fund is asking the 
city to delay rezoning about 300 acres that the fund owns along 
State Highway 121 so the company can find a buyer. 

The city will consider the requested six-month delay next month but 
is eager to see the land developed. Officials want to change the 
zoning back to its original agricultural designation because no 
development has occurred there for several years. 

It's part of the city's plan to turn the stretch of Highway 121 into 
an entertainment and recreation district by attracting development. 
The city has adopted a master plan to realize that vision, and one 
of the first steps is to rezone the land accordingly.

 People will change the way they live: forsaking their skis and

 They'll find themselves prey to new diseases. Some businesses will

  You have got to be a fvkin' spoof or a troll. 
  
  The fact that matter only disappears for 100 trillion

  How can you possibly talk about something that makes matter 
  dissapear for 100 trillion trillion trillion years more than the

 U.. That's the point. If the expected life of the universe is 
only a few dozen billion 
 years, and black holes keep their secrets for hundreds of 
trillions times that long, it's only 
 a philosophical/theoretical physics issue and likely doesn't 
affect the universe in any 
 currently observable way, like, how much matter is tied up in 
them. If dark matter can't be 
 explained by black holes, it isn't because Hawking lost his bet.
 
 Lurkers should note that Hawking and friends, while they take the 
bet seriously on one 
 level because the issue is important for the mathematical 
insights, don't really take it 
 seriously in any real world way

You really are showing your ignorance here. If Hawkings now has 
changed his mind and says that black holes do not lead to multi-
verse, and many other wormhole like qualities are gone, then it is a 
huge difference and the power to hold the universe together is lost. 
You will read about this soon. Please stop talking about glorified 
neutron stars in regard to the classic black hole theory.

ROFL a trillion trillion years more than the universe. 

Your basic problem is that you think scientists understand physics, 
so that allows you to pretend that you do. The fact of the matter is 
that physicists do not understand it:

the Physicists are saying that. They are
saying : we STILL cannot explain dark matter, and we are at a loss
to explain the laws of physics

David Cline is a professor of Physics and Astrophysics at UCLA.
Here is a quote from an article he wrote for the March 2003
Scientific American:
The universe around us is not what it appears to be. The stars make
up less than 1 percent of its mass; all the loose gas and other
forms of ordinary matter, less than 5 percent. The motions of this
visible material reveal that it is mere flotsam on an unseen sea of
unknown material. We know little about that sea. The terms we use to
describe its components, dark matter and dark energy, serve
mainly as expressions of our ignorance.

2006-10-10 Thread hermandan0
Actually, the TMO has been pitching yogic flying directly to the
public since way back in the NLP days, and probably longer. There used
to be ads, lectures to students and others, websites, and yogic flying
videos available to the public.

They've always been offering to train students, the unemplyed, etc.
to become an invincible defence force for the nation.

Of course, if it weren't for society's--and especially
the right's--twisted view of homosexuality, quite

Whatever it was = it's not entirely clear to me that
he's fixated on much younger men, as opposed to the

YOu gotta learn to stop selectively reading. Here is what that URL actually 
says. Note that 
it says explicitly that: At the center of the black hole lies a singularity, 
that is, a region 
where the current laws of physics break down because the circumstances are so 
extreme.



In fact, we do not really know what the inside of a black hole is like. 
Describing the 
characteristics of the structure of a black hole still remains one of the 
challenges of 
modern relativistic astrophysics.

The Schwarzschild radius is the radius at which the escape velocity equals the 
speed of 
light.

The surface of the sphere of radius equal to the Schwarzschild radius is called 
the event 
horizon. We on the outside of the black hole cannot learn anything about any 
event taking 
place within the event horizon, and thus we can think of it as the surface of 
the black 
hole.

At the center of the black hole lies a singularity, that is, a region where the 
current laws of 
physics break down because the circumstances are so extreme.

Note that the Schwarschild radius scales with the mass of the black hole. The 
Schwarzschild radius of a 1 solar mass black hole is 3 x 105 cm.

According to Roger Penrose's Principle of Cosmic Censorship, the fact that the 
laws of 
physics break down inside the event horizon has no impact on the physics 
outside the 
black hole (so we needn't worry about the failure of our current physics too 
much!?).

It can change. I recall Maharishi saying one person can be

This is a tough situation which only complete Self Realization 
within the ranks of the faithful will solve. Years ago I remember 
hearing about the rules and regulations getting tighter to maintain 
the purity of what Maharishi was teaching. I believe if this hadn't 
been done, the TMO would've completely dissolved long ago.

Unfortunately, people will do anything for enlightenment and the 
element in the TMO that has been encouraged are those who feel it 
necessary to lord ocntrol over others, and enforce petty authority 
trips. So it has to be this way for now, in order to sustain the 
Movement at all. Hopefully the ice will melt at some point and 
things can relax a little in the future.

[FairfieldLife] Planet SIMS

 Hell would freeze over before Maharishi made an

 dogma.


I assume you are making that assessment based on personal experience
and direct observation. Since you left the TMO in the latter 70's as
did I, I assume you are talking about 67-78 or so.  For that period, I
have no idea what planet you were on, but it was not Planet SIMS or
the Maharisahiville I knew. Who was manifesting this entire TMO
dogma in that period, leaders who passed judgement on those they
consider beneath themselves? Maharish in that period? Jerry Jarvis?
Joe Clarke? Stan Crowe, Bill Witherspoon, Charlie Donahue? Bob Brant,
Rick Nelson, Rob Mccruchen? Casey Coleman? Louis Dyson? Bille Clayon?
Johnny Gray? Keith Wallace?, Sy Migdal?, David Orme-Johnson? Larry
Domash? Josie Faurso? The M groups === Purusha folks? By 1977, the
leaders in the US were there teams of governors back from the
six-month courses teaching the sidha courses. Them?  Even Bevan. I had
interactions with him in 77-78 and while he had some oddities, he was
friendly and supportive. 

A few of all of these folks these characters, some had some odd,
though perhaps endearing quirks, but stuck-up, superior, dismissive,
judgemental? If you saw such, I assume it is a severe dase of
projection. Or hallucination. Who specifically in this period are you
talking about?

[FairfieldLife] Unfoldments of Brahman

2006-10-10 Thread Rory Goff
With deepest gratitude to MMY and Guru Dev, we wish to correct some 
Understandings of Brahman we gave here last year. Within the 27 
Nakshatra-states, the middle third or 9 central ones are those of 
Brahma(n), or Light, or Consciousness:

Brahma-Shiva-Shiva (B-S-S) or Mahaturiya
Brahma-Shiva-Brahma (B-S-B) or Maharishi (Brahman)
Brahma-Shiva-Vishnu (B-S-V) or Mahadevata (Krishna)
Brahma-Brahma-Shiva (B-B-S) or Mahachandas (Shiva)
Brahma-Brahma-Brahma (B-B-B) or Solar Angel, Lamp at the Door
Brahma-Brahma-Vishnu (B-B-V), or chandas (U.C.)
Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva (B-V-S), or devata (G.C.)
Brahma-Vishnu-Brahma (B-V-B), or rishi (C.C.)
Brahma-Vishnu-Vishnu (B-V-V), or turiya (T.C.)

Within these 9, the centermost one is Brahma-Brahma-Brahma (B-B-B), 
the Lamp at the Door, the Solar Angel who resides in the Sacred 
Heart (Solar Plexus) as the intermediary between the Absolute 
(Rudra, Shiva, or Purusha) and the Relative (Indra, Vishnu or 
Shakti). 

In truth, this is the only state of Consciousness that actually 
exists -- the supreme radiance of the perfect Now, the juncture-
point of Heaven and Earth. From here, we can (eventually) see that 
all the states that led here -- T.C. or Turiya (Brahma-Vishnu-
Vishnu; B-V-V), C.C. or Rishi (Brahma-Vishnu-Brahma; B-V-B) G. C. 
or Devata(Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva; B-V-S), and U.C. 
or Chandas(Brahma-Brahma-Vishnu; B-B-V) are but identification 
with a time-bound particle or I within Our wholeness. We have been 
approaching the Now from an (unconscious) identification with a 
particle on the Relative side. 

But in actuality, there has been a very simple, innocent, 
unqualified  Absolute side of Us approaching this Now as the 
Wholeness or container of the experience(s), in perfect reflection 
to the Relative side. When our particle-self thinks it is in T.C. (B-
V-V), our Wholeness is Mahaturiya (B-S-S); when our particle-self 
attains C.C. or Rishi (B-V-B), our Wholeness is Brahman itself: 
that particle's Witness, its Maharishi (B-S-B); when our 
particle-self attains G.C. or Devata (B-V-S), our Wholeness is 
that particle's loving Personal God or Krishna-Avatar, 
its Mahadevata (B-S-V); and when our particle-self attains U.C. 
or Chandas (B-B-V), our Wholeness is that particle's Shiva, 
its Mahachandas (B-B-S). 

These two sides -- the Absolute and the Relative, the Whole and 
the Particle -- culminate in their fusion in the mid-most state of 
Brahma-Brahma-Brahma (B-B-B). The simple, ordinary, very quiet 
thought we had from the Absolute side with reference to nurturing 
our particles creates the intensely devotional appreciation of that 
thought from the Devata or sensory particle side, and the 
corresponding display of that thought as the Reality of the Outer, 
so that the rishi, devata, and chandas are fully appreciated as 
OneSelf. 

Thus we can say that C.C. is our particle's appreciation of our 
Brahman-Self; G.C. is our particle's appreciation of our Krishna-
Self, and U.C. is our particle's appreciation of our Shiva-Self -- 
all culminating in ourSelf as Brahma(n), the Perfect Light of the 
Sacred Heart. This is our natural, simple, a priori state of 
consciousness. This is what we have always been, and what we always 
will be, regardless of the stories our Wholeness and our particles 
have been telling us/themselves.

From here, the process continues -- with any and every particle we 
find within ourSelf. We first find ourselves identifying 
unconsciously with that particle, giving that particle unconscious 
sovereignty -- at this time the particle is in Ignorance in our 
Brahman. Then, we realize that this is not Us, but a particle within 
Us -- we then become that particle's Witness, its conscious Brahman -
- while it is identifying with C.C. Then, we give that particle our 
loving attention, warming it up into its a priori bliss, becoming 
its personal God or Avatar or Krishna, while it is identifying with 
G.C. Then it perceives its ultimate identity with us in Shiva/U.C., 
and we finally come back to primordial Radiant Self. We are 
constantly throwing off particles of not-self, and re-integrating 
them back into ourSelf, as pulsations of our Now into all 9 (and 
eventually 27) states -- this is how we learn to appreciate ourSelf 
and our various qualities...

Hi Rory,

I understand you are participating in the current dome course. Have
you taken the opportunity to share your experiential insights, below,
with Maharishi? What were his comments?

If you have not shared with him, why the reluctance for such a nice
opportunity to manifestly express some of the gratitude you have?

Apologies for my directness, if you find such not pleasing.

For me, your posts have always had a Theosophy Society flavor -- I

flavor of their books and your posts to be detailed spider webs --
along the lines of  stories our Wholeness and our particles have been
telling us/themselves that prolong the estrangment from This is what
we have always been, and what we always will be. 

And paticles within Brahman,  and one being the Brahman for others
or particles -- such notions bespeak a quite different, and IMO,
limited Brahman. 

The thing is, IT IS. In my experience, there is no some of IT, or
partial Brahmans as background for someones partial awareness --
unless the experience and/or imagination of IT is in some quite
limited ways.
 
 From here, the process continues -- with any and every particle we

I know Self -- or in this case ourSelf, are words english
translators  use for what sanskrit texts (hardly the only ones that
dwell on such) term Atman and Brahman. But Self has always seemed 
bogus or foreign from the experience. IT IS, and has nothing to do
with individuality which is a mirage. Or an individuality owning
Brahman. The individuality never becomes Brahman, an individuality
never becomes enlightened, IT IS. 

 We first
 find ourselves identifying 

And who is the we (kimosobe? :)) and why did this finding come
first ? :)

 unconsciously with that particle, giving that particle unconscious 
 sovereignty -- at this time the particle is in Ignorance in our 
 Brahman. 

your brahaman -- if an individuality is claiming Brahman, that is a
different IT than has proclaimed ITself Here and NOW.

 Then, we realize that this is not Us, but a particle within 
 Us -- we then become that particle's Witness, its conscious Brahman 

That particle is as Whole as This particle. The rock is as whole as
the see-er of the rock. IT IS.

 loving attention, warming it up into its a priori bliss, becoming

   I agree, I wasn't thinking so much about resigning as about
   what he hasn't been doing: blaming others, calling the pages
   ugly names, etc.
  
  True, good point.  He (or at least his lawyer) has been
  not just explicit but insistent that he takes all the
  responsibility himself.
 
 I agree that he has stayed out of the spotlight, however regarding 
 taking personal responsibility, what I have heard from him was that 
 he wrote these IMs because: 1) He is gay, 2)He is an alcoholic 3)He 
 was abused by a priest when younger, which all sound like excuses
 to me. In all seriousness, maybe this is what passes for taking 
 responsibility among our public officials these days.

Actually, I think that's what you've read
or heard that he said. In fact, Foley himself
hasn't said anything.  His lawyer gave a press
conference and said *explicitly and insistently*
(as I wrote above) that Foley does NOT blame
his behavior on his alcoholism or his earlier
molestation, and certainly not on his
homosexuality.  The media has chosen to ignore
this and claim instead that he *did* blame his
alcoholism and abuse.  (I don't think anybody
has said he blames it on his homosexuality.)

You can decide for yourself whether he had his
lawyer mention his alcoholism, abuse, and
homosexuality as excuses or as explanations
(two different things), but the media should have
made it clear what he actually had his lawyer
say, just in simple fairness.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Christians obsession with death

2006-10-10 Thread rule2148
I don't think the Christian focus is on death so much as on what 
that suffering and death accomplished.  To put it in eastern terms, 
Christ took on the karma of his followers and dissolved it for all 
time.  This act of absolution required great suffering and the 
ultimate sacrifice to pay the price.  For Maharishi to blithely say 
that Jesus didn't suffer seems a bit odd considering he tells the 
tale of Guru Dev suffering from disease as penance for the world's 
karma.  The idea that one's guru can suffer to take on the karma of 
disciples is as old as the tradition TM comes from.  The Christian 
conversion experience is often discussed as a lifting off of a great 
and heretofor unexperience weight as the load of karma is shifted 
from the Christian to Christ.  An Indian friend of mine who 
converted from Hinduism to Christianity says that his discussions 
with his family usually come to this point: As a Hindu you might 
have to go through untold lifetimes to get rid of all your karma but 
as a Christian it is gone in this lifetime.  Thus, Christians honor 
the act that frees them from the almost impossible task of removing 
one's own bad karma.

I misread.  It wasn't Stephanopoulos but Rahm Emanuel

it's not at all unlikely that word started getting

the Republicans would have tried to smear him with the

It's too bad that you have to worry about being

 Actually, I think that's what you've read

 hasn't said anything.  His lawyer gave a press
 conference and said *explicitly and insistently*
 (as I wrote above) that Foley does NOT blame
 his behavior on his alcoholism or his earlier
 molestation, and certainly not on his
 homosexuality.  The media has chosen to ignore
 this and claim instead that he *did* blame his

 has said he blames it on his homosexuality.)
 
 You can decide for yourself whether he had his
 lawyer mention his alcoholism, abuse, and
 homosexuality as excuses or as explanations
 (two different things), but the media should have
 made it clear what he actually had his lawyer

Yep, you are right- I haven't heard Foley say anything...

 opportunity to manifestly express some of the gratitude you have?

Hi akasha. Thanks for the questions. Maharishi is my Guru Dev; he is 
my true I and knows me better than I know myself. He created me, he 
sustains me, he destroys me. I attended the course for two weeks while 
this Understanding was driven home deeper and deeper every day. 
Without my saying a word, my (his) every thought, word and experience

knowing him even to whatever small degree I do, I am exalted and 
humbled beyond measure. And all of this is perfectly ordinary.

I have posted this material here only to clarify and correct some of 
the finer details of the unfoldment of Brahman I gave here last year. 
I am not interested in debating or discussing them particularly. They 
were simply some loose ends that had to be tied up. 

All glory to Guru Dev

Sadly, it's also unfair. Both Cruise and Brad Pitt don't get enough

In fact, I believe that Tom Cruise should have got the Oscar

And I'm amazed at how good Pitt is in things such as Snatch where

 'SCARY MOVIE' PRODUCER MAKES CAMPAIGN AD; MOCKS DEMOCRATSTue Oct 10 2006 15:13:16 ET**Exclusive**The DRUDGE REPORT has obtained an exclusive copy of a "scary" campaign advertisement created by Hollywood producer and director David Zucker that was intended to be used by GOP organizations in the closing weeks of the 2006 campaign. However, the advertisement was deemed "too hot" by GOP strategists all across Washington, DC who have refused to use it![VIDEO LINK] In the ad, Zucker, producer of SCARY MOVIE 4, recreates former Clinton Secretary of State Madeleine Albright's 2000 visit to North Korea. During the visit, Secretary Albright presented North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il with a basketball autographed by former NBA superstar Michael Jordan. An actress playing Secretary Albright is shown presenting Kim Jong Il with the Michael Jordan basketball, painting the walls of Osama bin Laden's Afghanistan cave and turning a blind eye to suicide bombers. In one scene her skirt rips as she changes the tire of a Middle Eastern dictator's limousine.One GOP strategist said "jaws dropped" when the ad was first viewed. "Nobody could believe Zucker thought any political organization could use this ad. It makes a point, but it's way over the top." Zucker is the producer and director of comedies such as "Airplane" and "The Naked Gun." In 2004, Zucker, a longtime Democrat, embraced the Republican Party based on concerns he had about national security issues and voted for President George W. Bush. Developing...

Anyone seen Scorcese's new movie?

Saw it last night.  Probably his best since Casino, which I loved.

Mark Wahlberg is the best thing in it; Leonardo DiCaprio isn't.  As a 
child star he was quite good; now, his method of acting seems to be 
limited to how much he scowls or furrows his brow.

Good story, well paced.  Better than 90% of the stuff out there, but 
not like the classical Scorcese mob movie, although this is all about 
the Mob.

  physics do not apply at the 
   singularity at the center of mass. I have never heard a theory 
  claim that they don't apply 
   beyond the event horizon, 
  
  
  Well now you have:
  According to Roger Penrose's Principle of Cosmic Censorship, 
the

  has no impact on the physics outside the black hole 
  
  
http://astrosun.tn.cornell.edu/academics/courses/astro201/bh_structur

 YOu gotta learn to stop selectively reading. Here is what that URL 
actually says. Note that 
 it says explicitly that: At the center of the black hole lies a 
singularity, that is, a region 
 where the current laws of physics break down because the 
circumstances are so extreme.


Sir Roger Penrose is very clear on this. 
According to Roger Penrose's Principle of Cosmic Censorship, the 
fact that the laws of physics break down inside the event horizon 
has no impact on the physics outside the black hole 


that AFTER the Planck era 9for a few nanoseconds, the 
  laws of PHYSICS DO NOT WORK. The same is true in many 
macroscopic 
  examples. There is a whole binary star system that has baffled 
  scientists because it in no way shape or form adheres to the 
known 
  laws of physics. 
  
 Hmmm... Reference? 
 
 And, it there are myriad books out there about the oddities that 
existed, according to 
 theory, during the first few seconds of Existence. We're not 
talking about that OR about 
 the singularity, but about the conditions inside the event horizon 
and outside the 
 singularity region.


Um, a singularity is a singularity. Beyond the event horizon the 
laws of physics break down

Mathematically, as we look back in time, we can determine that the 
laws of nature completely break down at 10 to the minus 43rd power 
of a second (Planck time) after the creation event.


 
 You're familiar, of course, with the mathematical truism that if 
the universe is closed it is, 
 by definition, a universe-sized black hole, yes? 

Um...reference please.

If conditions inside a black hole were 
 automatically different than outside, our physical laws couldn't 
work if the universe was 
 closed.

Um...reference please.


You are making the mistake that you think the event horizon is just 
some region of space like any other. There would be an immediate 
change to infinite gravity, and zero time, which even before 
infinity is reached the laws of physics will not work as expected. 
The event horizon is that point at which the physics breaks:

Recall that a black hole has a singularity at its center which is 
cloaked by an event horizon. The radius of the event horizon is the 
Schwarschild radius === R(Sch) = 2 G M / c**2 . 
Recall that it is good that the singularity is hidden from our 
Universe by the event horizon as interesting (and odd) things can 
happen near the singularity.   
So now ask the question of what happens if you merge the ideas of QM 
with the ideas of Einstein (GR)? Well, suppose that 
W(Compton) ~ R(Sch) 
so that the uncertainty in the position of the singularity becomes 
comparable to the radius of the event horizon. This will uncloak the 
singularity!! On this scale, the structure of space-time becomes 
poorly defined and general relativity (as formulated) must break 
down.   
Planck Scales 
This breakdown occurs for masses known as the Planck mass which is 
defined as 

Planck mass = M(P) = sqrt[hc/(2G)] ~ 5.5 x 10**(-5) grams 

For reference purposes: m(proton) = 1.7 x 10**(-24) grams and m
(electron) = 9.1 x 10**(-28) grams 

The W(Compton) and R(Sch) which correspond to the Planck mass is 

W(Compton) = h/mc = R(Sch) = 2GM/c**2 = 4 x 10**(-33) cm

  So far, there have been no confirmed reports of public health or 
  environmental problems related to nanotechnology. But troubling 
  laboratory tests suggest some nanoscale particles may pose novel 
health 
  risks by, for instance, slipping easily past barriers to the 
brain that 
  keep larger particles out. Thus, the same attributes that could 
make 
  the technology valuable for delivering drugs could also make it 
  hazardous.
 
 
 Actually, I recall some issue with nano-tech particles used in 
window cleaners, so I think the 
 article is incorrect.
 
 slashdot.org had an article about it at least 6 months ago, I think.

 'SCARY MOVIE' PRODUCER MAKES CAMPAIGN AD; MOCKS DEMOCRATS
 Tue Oct 10 2006 15:13:16 ET

 **Exclusive**

 The DRUDGE REPORT has obtained an exclusive copy of a scary campaign
 advertisement created by Hollywood producer and director David Zucker
 that was intended to be used by GOP organizations in the closing weeks
 of the 2006 campaign.

 However, the advertisement was deemed too hot by GOP strategists all
 across Washington, DC who have refused to use it!

 [VIDEO LINK] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7h3GPc_yMCE

 In the ad, Zucker, producer of SCARY MOVIE 4, recreates former Clinton
 Secretary of State Madeleine Albright's 2000 visit to North Korea.
 During the visit, Secretary Albright presented North Korean dictator Kim
 Jong Il with a basketball autographed by former NBA superstar Michael
 Jordan.

 An actress playing Secretary Albright is shown presenting Kim Jong Il
 with the Michael Jordan basketball, painting the walls of Osama bin
 Laden's Afghanistan cave and turning a blind eye to suicide bombers. In
 one scene her skirt rips as she changes the tire of a Middle Eastern
 dictator's limousine.

 One GOP strategist said jaws dropped when the ad was first viewed.
 Nobody could believe Zucker thought any political organization could
 use this ad. It makes a point, but it's way over the top.

 Zucker is the producer and director of comedies such as Airplane and
 The Naked Gun. In 2004, Zucker, a longtime Democrat, embraced the
 Republican Party based on concerns he had about national security issues
 and voted for President George W. Bush.

 Developing...

   
Stupid ad, the GOP was smart not to use it.  The fact is the Bush 
administration ignored outcries to keep an eye on North Korea and get 
some talks going.   But gotta be macho Georgie said he wasn't going to 
continue any talks even though the Clinton era talks with North Korea 
prevented nuclear development.  We might be better giving Jong Il access 
to a Hollywood studio where he'll totally forget about being a dictator 
and indulge his dream of being a movie director.   And make Jenna 
Jamison the ambassador to North Korea since Jong Il is also a big porn 
fan.  By the time he finished his film North Korea would probably be 
part of South Korea.

I enjoyed that film, too.

Funnily, the thing that strikes me most in that film is the scene 
near the beginning where the pre-death Pitt character gets hit by a 
bus.  It's one of the most real and horrific scenes I have ever seen 
at the movies.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Christians obsession with death

2006-10-10 Thread Marek Reavis
Very succinct summary.  Thanks.  

I feel much the same -- both about the subject, and Maharishi's
teachings regarding Jesus' status and, consequently, his
consciousness.  That simple and important 'revision' of Christianity
by Maharishi allowed him (IMO) to make his intitial inroads and
successes in the West*, or at least overcome intitial knee-jerk
dismissals from the Christian perspective until the positive effects
of the meditation itself overcame such suspicions.  

Yogananda had done that also, incorporating Jesus and his teachings
into the SRF (and by extension, Hinduism itself), but he did it on a
Christian-bhakti footing.  Maharishi did it in a purely intellectual
way that made perfect, immediate sense, was at the same time very
respectful of Christianity and Jesus, but also implicitly
incorporated/subsumed Christianity into the meta-philosophy of TM and
Maharishi's brand/lineage of Advaita Vedanta.  Really masterful teaching.

Little bit harder position to maintain with the present semi-Sai Baba
Hindu veneer of the TMO.

Thanks, again.

*The actual technique might have had some influence on people's
acceptance of what Maharishi was teaching, too.

 I've never heard MMY say that Guru Dev suffered from disease as

 But even if he did, it wouldn't take away from his great 
 pronouncements on Jesus and that Jesus did not suffer.  I totally 
 agree with the assessment that Christianity puts too much emphasis 
 on the suffering of Jesus and that he did not suffer.
 
 As for the taking on of karma for all mankind: of course he did. And 
 that's an experience that awaits all human beings.  But it is an 
 experience that occurs at the doorstep of the absolute.  It's not 
 something that you magically get by declaring I accept Jesus Christ

 Christianity.
 
 And bravo to MMY for saying what he did.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 The idea that one's guru can suffer to take on the karma of 
  disciples is as old as the tradition TM comes from.  The Christian 
  conversion experience is often discussed as a lifting off of a 
 great 
  and heretofor unexperience weight as the load of karma is shifted 
  from the Christian to Christ.  An Indian friend of mine who 
  converted from Hinduism to Christianity says that his discussions 
  with his family usually come to this point: As a Hindu you might 
  have to go through untold lifetimes to get rid of all your karma 
 but 
  as a Christian it is gone in this lifetime.  Thus, Christians 
 honor 
  the act that frees them from the almost impossible task of 
 removing 
  one's own bad karma.

I've also found Muktananda's comments and observations about Jesus

At the risk of being reminded by a FFL participant, once again, that 
Muktananda was a pedophile rapist (as inevitably happens every time 
I bring his name up), I will, time willing, reproduce some excerpts 
from some of his books on the subject 'cause they're really

 In fact, I believe that Tom Cruise should have got the Oscar

absolutely, can't agree more. that being said I am Hoffman fan,

Straw dogs, marathon man were great, i liked him in 
Meet the Fockers which was hilarious.

 he played a mumbling Irish Gypsy prizefighter or Troy in which 
he 
 played Achilles where his physicality alone should have won him 
the 
 Oscar.


yup,not like Tom, i do believe that Pitt get the much credit though.

  I don't care much for Cruise, but I'm a huge
  Pitt fan.  My favorite film of his is Meet Joe
  Black. It's very long and very slow and very
  talky, and you have to be *very* relaxed to sit
  through it. But he has some genuinely transcendent
  scenes that give me goose bumps.
 
 I enjoyed that film, too.
 
 Funnily, the thing that strikes me most in that film is the scene 
 near the beginning where the pre-death Pitt character gets hit by a 
 bus.  It's one of the most real and horrific scenes I have ever
 seen at the movies.

My favorite's the one with the old Jamaican lady.
That just blows me away.

But those are the showy scenes, relatively speaking.
There are lots of subtle moments that are just
astonishingly good.

Pitt *underplays* the role; I don't think I've ever
seen Cruise underplay, and I'm not sure he could.
His acting is all on the surface, it seems to me,
whereas Pitt's comes from the inside.  Not that
Cruise doesn't usually do a good job, but imagine
him trying to play Joe Black!  Pitt (or the
director) was smart enough to know flash would kill
it, and that he had the stuff not to have to rely on
flash.

On the other hand, I don't know if Pitt could do
Jerry McGuire as well as Cruise.

I'd like to see Clint Eastwood direct Pitt.  They
haven't done anything together yet, have they?

You know who's another underappreciated actor?
Jason Scott Lee, who played Bruce Lee (no relation)
in Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story.  The film is kind
of a potboiler, but Lee's performance is worth
sitting through it.  (I'm sure martial arts people
are not entranced; Lee had never done any before the
film).  Great scenes with good old Nancy Kwan, much
better as a character actress than she ever was as
an ingenue.

Anyway, he's Chinese-American, so I guess there
aren't many lead roles for him, which is a shame.

Yeah, Hopkins is terrific in it too.

 'SCARY MOVIE' PRODUCER MAKES CAMPAIGN AD; MOCKS DEMOCRATS
 Tue Oct 10 2006 15:13:16 ET
 
 **Exclusive**
 
 The DRUDGE REPORT has obtained an exclusive copy of a scary campaign
 advertisement created by Hollywood producer and director David Zucker
 that was intended to be used by GOP organizations in the closing weeks
 of the 2006 campaign.
 
 However, the advertisement was deemed too hot by GOP strategists all
 across Washington, DC who have refused to use it!
 
 [VIDEO LINK] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7h3GPc_yMCE
 
 In the ad, Zucker, producer of SCARY MOVIE 4, recreates former Clinton
 Secretary of State Madeleine Albright's 2000 visit to North Korea.
 During the visit, Secretary Albright presented North Korean dictator Kim
 Jong Il with a basketball autographed by former NBA superstar Michael
 Jordan.
 
 An actress playing Secretary Albright is shown presenting Kim Jong Il
 with the Michael Jordan basketball, painting the walls of Osama bin
 Laden's Afghanistan cave and turning a blind eye to suicide bombers. In
 one scene her skirt rips as she changes the tire of a Middle Eastern
 dictator's limousine.
 
 One GOP strategist said jaws dropped when the ad was first viewed.
 Nobody could believe Zucker thought any political organization could
 use this ad. It makes a point, but it's way over the top.
 
 Zucker is the producer and director of comedies such as Airplane and
 The Naked Gun. In 2004, Zucker, a longtime Democrat, embraced the
 Republican Party based on concerns he had about national security issues
 and voted for President George W. Bush.
 
 Developing...


So where's the ad showing Cheney shaking hands with Saddam?

  Hi Rory,
  
  I understand you are participating in the current dome course. Have

  If you have not shared with him, why the reluctance for such a nice
  opportunity to manifestly express some of the gratitude you have?
 
 Hi akasha. Thanks for the questions. Maharishi is my Guru Dev; he is 
 my true I and knows me better than I know myself. He created me, he 
 sustains me, he destroys me. I attended the course for two weeks while 
 this Understanding was driven home deeper and deeper every day. 
 Without my saying a word, my (his) every thought, word and experience 
 was commented upon, verified, and deepened by him. The intimate play 
 between the Wholeness and the particle is heart-breaking in its 
 innocence and simple splendor. His love and grace are boundless; in 
 knowing him even to whatever small degree I do, I am exalted and 
 humbled beyond measure. And all of this is perfectly ordinary.
 
 I have posted this material here only to clarify and correct some of 
 the finer details of the unfoldment of Brahman I gave here last year. 
 I am not interested in debating or discussing them particularly. They 
 were simply some loose ends that had to be tied up. 
 
 All glory to Guru Dev

 absolutely, can't agree more. that being said I am Hoffman fan,
 I can't recall a movie that he played that I didn't liked.
 Straw dogs, marathon man were great, i liked him in 
 Meet the Fockers which was hilarious.



The first time I ever saw him was his performance as Ratso Rizzo 
in Midnight Cowboy, a role which changed the way Hollywood looked 
at both leading men and character actors.  It was unprecedented.



 
 
  
  And I'm amazed at how good Pitt is in things such as Snatch 
 where 
  he played a mumbling Irish Gypsy prizefighter or Troy in which 
 he 
  played Achilles where his physicality alone should have won him 
 the 
  Oscar.
 
 
 yup,not like Tom, i do believe that Pitt get the much credit 
though.

 I've also found Muktananda's comments and observations about Jesus

 At the risk of being reminded by a FFL participant, once again, that 
 Muktananda was a pedophile rapist (as inevitably happens every time 
 I bring his name up), I will, time willing, reproduce some excerpts 
 from some of his books on the subject 'cause they're really 
 wonderful.
 
**End**

On my first ATR I read Muktananda's book, an autobiography that has a
title I can't remember (something about Blue Pearl?), but a narration
of his sadhana from early on -- his meditation experiences, meeting
Nityananda, etc.  It was the only book of his I ever read but I loved
it.  It was perfect for those times during a long-rounding course when
you weren't rounding but still riding that wave.  You know, on so many
levels, those rounding courses we got to do were some of the most
amazing times.  And so wonderfully whacked.

 With deepest gratitude to MMY and Guru Dev, we wish to correct some 
 Understandings of Brahman we gave here last year. Within the 27 
 Nakshatra-states, the middle third or 9 central ones are those of 
 Brahma(n), or Light, or Consciousness:
 
 Brahma-Shiva-Shiva (B-S-S) or Mahaturiya
 Brahma-Shiva-Brahma (B-S-B) or Maharishi (Brahman)
 Brahma-Shiva-Vishnu (B-S-V) or Mahadevata (Krishna)
 Brahma-Brahma-Shiva (B-B-S) or Mahachandas (Shiva)
 Brahma-Brahma-Brahma (B-B-B) or Solar Angel, Lamp at the Door
 Brahma-Brahma-Vishnu (B-B-V), or chandas (U.C.)
 Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva (B-V-S), or devata (G.C.)
 Brahma-Vishnu-Brahma (B-V-B), or rishi (C.C.)
 Brahma-Vishnu-Vishnu (B-V-V), or turiya (T.C.)
 
 Within these 9, the centermost one is Brahma-Brahma-Brahma (B-B-B), 
 the Lamp at the Door, the Solar Angel who resides in the Sacred 
 Heart (Solar Plexus) as the intermediary between the Absolute 
 (Rudra, Shiva, or Purusha) and the Relative (Indra, Vishnu or 
 Shakti). 
 
 In truth, this is the only state of Consciousness that actually 
 exists -- the supreme radiance of the perfect Now, the juncture-
 point of Heaven and Earth. From here, we can (eventually) see that 
 all the states that led here -- T.C. or Turiya (Brahma-Vishnu-
 Vishnu; B-V-V), C.C. or Rishi (Brahma-Vishnu-Brahma; B-V-B) G. C. 
 or Devata(Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva; B-V-S), and U.C. 
 or Chandas(Brahma-Brahma-Vishnu; B-B-V) are but identification 
 with a time-bound particle or I within Our wholeness. We have been 
 approaching the Now from an (unconscious) identification with a 
 particle on the Relative side. 
 
 But in actuality, there has been a very simple, innocent, 
 unqualified  Absolute side of Us approaching this Now as the 
 Wholeness or container of the experience(s), in perfect reflection 
 to the Relative side. When our particle-self thinks it is in T.C. (B-
 V-V), our Wholeness is Mahaturiya (B-S-S); when our particle-self 
 attains C.C. or Rishi (B-V-B), our Wholeness is Brahman itself: 
 that particle's Witness, its Maharishi (B-S-B); when our 
 particle-self attains G.C. or Devata (B-V-S), our Wholeness is 
 that particle's loving Personal God or Krishna-Avatar, 
 its Mahadevata (B-S-V); and when our particle-self attains U.C. 
 or Chandas (B-B-V), our Wholeness is that particle's Shiva, 
 its Mahachandas (B-B-S). 
 
 These two sides -- the Absolute and the Relative, the Whole and 
 the Particle -- culminate in their fusion in the mid-most state of 
 Brahma-Brahma-Brahma (B-B-B). The simple, ordinary, very quiet 
 thought we had from the Absolute side with reference to nurturing 
 our particles creates the intensely devotional appreciation of that 
 thought from the Devata or sensory particle side, and the 
 corresponding display of that thought as the Reality of the Outer, 
 so that the rishi, devata, and chandas are fully appreciated as 
 OneSelf. 
 
 Thus we can say that C.C. is our particle's appreciation of our 
 Brahman-Self; G.C. is our particle's appreciation of our Krishna-
 Self, and U.C. is our particle's appreciation of our Shiva-Self -- 
 all culminating in ourSelf as Brahma(n), the Perfect Light of the 
 Sacred Heart. This is our natural, simple, a priori state of 
 consciousness. This is what we have always been, and what we always 
 will be, regardless of the stories our Wholeness and our particles 
 have been telling us/themselves.
 
 From here, the process continues -- with any and every particle we 
 find within ourSelf. We first find ourselves identifying 
 unconsciously with that particle, giving that particle unconscious 
 sovereignty -- at this time the particle is in Ignorance in our 
 Brahman. Then, we realize that this is not Us, but a particle within 
 Us -- we then become that particle's Witness, its conscious Brahman -
 - while it is identifying with C.C. Then, we give that particle our 
 loving attention, warming it up into its a priori bliss, becoming 
 its personal God or Avatar or Krishna, while it is identifying with 
 G.C. Then it perceives its ultimate identity with us in Shiva/U.C., 
 and we finally come back to primordial Radiant Self. We are 
 constantly throwing off particles of not-self, and re-integrating 
 them back into ourSelf, as pulsations of our Now into all 9 (and 
 eventually 27) states -- this is how we learn to appreciate ourSelf 
 and our various qualities...

 'SCARY MOVIE' PRODUCER MAKES CAMPAIGN AD; MOCKS DEMOCRATS
 Tue Oct 10 2006 15:13:16 ET

 **Exclusive**

 The DRUDGE REPORT has obtained an exclusive copy of a scary campaign
 advertisement created by Hollywood producer and director David Zucker
 that was intended to be used by GOP organizations in the closing weeks
 of the 2006 campaign.

 However, the advertisement was deemed too hot by GOP strategists all
 across Washington, DC who have refused to use it!

 [VIDEO LINK] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7h3GPc_yMCE

 In the ad, Zucker, producer of SCARY MOVIE 4, recreates former Clinton
 Secretary of State Madeleine Albright's 2000 visit to North Korea.
 During the visit, Secretary Albright presented North Korean dictator Kim
 Jong Il with a basketball autographed by former NBA superstar Michael
 Jordan.

 An actress playing Secretary Albright is shown presenting Kim Jong Il
 with the Michael Jordan basketball, painting the walls of Osama bin
 Laden's Afghanistan cave and turning a blind eye to suicide bombers. In
 one scene her skirt rips as she changes the tire of a Middle Eastern
 dictator's limousine.

 One GOP strategist said jaws dropped when the ad was first viewed.
 Nobody could believe Zucker thought any political organization could
 use this ad. It makes a point, but it's way over the top.

 Zucker is the producer and director of comedies such as Airplane and
 The Naked Gun. In 2004, Zucker, a longtime Democrat, embraced the
 Republican Party based on concerns he had about national security issues
 and voted for President George W. Bush.

 Developing...

 

 So where's the ad showing Cheney shaking hands with Saddam?
Better yet Kim Jong Il shaking hands with Donald Rumsfeld.   Rumsfeld 
was on the board of the company that sold North Korea the equipment to 
process uranium.

  YOu gotta learn to stop selectively reading. Here is what that URL 
 actually says. Note that 
  it says explicitly that: At the center of the black hole lies a 
 singularity, that is, a region 
  where the current laws of physics break down because the 
 circumstances are so extreme.
 
 
 Sir Roger Penrose is very clear on this. 
 According to Roger Penrose's Principle of Cosmic Censorship, the 
 fact that the laws of physics break down inside the event horizon 
 has no impact on the physics outside the black hole 
 

They are certain they break down at the event horizon and at the singularity, 
but there's 
no way to discuss what they are like between the event horizon and the 
singularity. Most 
just assume that things stay relatively normal for a while. There's no way to 
prove it either 
way of course.

 
 that AFTER the Planck era 9for a few nanoseconds, the 
   laws of PHYSICS DO NOT WORK. The same is true in many 
 macroscopic 
   examples. There is a whole binary star system that has baffled 
   scientists because it in no way shape or form adheres to the 
 known 
   laws of physics. 
   
  Hmmm... Reference? 
  
  And, it there are myriad books out there about the oddities that 
 existed, according to 
  theory, during the first few seconds of Existence. We're not 
 talking about that OR about 
  the singularity, but about the conditions inside the event horizon 
 and outside the 
  singularity region.
 
 
 Um, a singularity is a singularity. Beyond the event horizon the 
 laws of physics break down
 
 Mathematically, as we look back in time, we can determine that the 
 laws of nature completely break down at 10 to the minus 43rd power 
 of a second (Planck time) after the creation event.
 
 
  
  You're familiar, of course, with the mathematical truism that if 
 the universe is closed it is, 
  by definition, a universe-sized black hole, yes? 
 
 Um...reference please.

It's a non-sensical definition it turns out. However, the same reasoning that 
says it is 
nonsensical ends up precluding the existance of black holes in the first place 
so...

 
 If conditions inside a black hole were 
  automatically different than outside, our physical laws couldn't 
 work if the universe was 
  closed.
 
 Um...reference please.
 

In a truely closed universe, there are no black holes because that would imply 
something 
existing outside the boundries of our space-time, which we just said isn't the 
case by 
calling it closed. It's another one of those odd contradictory things.

 
 You are making the mistake that you think the event horizon is just 
 some region of space like any other. There would be an immediate 
 change to infinite gravity, and zero time, which even before 
 infinity is reached the laws of physics will not work as expected. 
 The event horizon is that point at which the physics breaks:
 

As far as I know, no-one claims infinite gravity at the event horizon. Infinite 
acceleration 
would be required to hover at the event horizon because you have to be moving 
at the 
speed of light, and the event horizon is a singularity in its own right, 
according to the 
math, but the gravity isn't infinite there. It's only large enough to require 
an escape 
velocity greater than c. The singularity found at the event horizon is 
apparently only due 
to an artifact of the coordinate system used (e.g. there's no unique way to 
describe the 
lattitude and longitude of the North pole on Earth).


And the odds of the singularity fluctuating outside the event horizon are 
probably pretty 
slim.

 Recall that a black hole has a singularity at its center which is 
 cloaked by an event horizon. The radius of the event horizon is the 
 Schwarschild radius === R(Sch) = 2 G M / c**2 . 
 Recall that it is good that the singularity is hidden from our 
 Universe by the event horizon as interesting (and odd) things can 
 happen near the singularity.   
 So now ask the question of what happens if you merge the ideas of QM 
 with the ideas of Einstein (GR)? Well, suppose that 
 W(Compton) ~ R(Sch)

PRODUCT SAFETY
Nanotech Consumer Product Recalled in Germany
Glass-treating spray containing nanoparticles may have medical problems in many 
consumers
Ann M. Thayer

On March 31, the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) issued a 
warning 
against using a household product containing nanoparticles that has led to what 
is 
apparently the first recall of a nanotechnology-based product. In a period of 
less than two 
weeks, regional poison control centers in Germany received about 80 reports of 
people 
coughing or complaining of fever and headache, and several people were 
hospitalized with 
pulmonary edema, after using Magic Nano surface-sealing sprays.

Cleaning-product manufacturer Kleinmann GmbH, which packages and sells the 
sprays, 
quickly withdrew aerosol formulations that also contain a propellant and warned 
against 
their further use. The company has sold the products in pump bottles for more 
than two 
years and has had no reports of problems. The sprays are designed for treating 
glass and 
ceramic surfaces to make them water- and dirt-repellant for easier cleaning.

Magic Nano products contain silica and silicone nanoparticles as well as 
ethanol, water, 
and other ingredients, according to the poison control center GIZ-Nord. 
Although 
Kleinmann did not name specific suppliers involved, it has partnered with 
nanomaterial 
producer Nanopool, along with companies spun off from the Institute for New 
Materials in 
Saarbrucken.

According to BfR, it seems that users had inhaled components of the spray 
which had 
remained in the ambient air as fine particles of the aerosol. The exact cause 
of the health 
problems and any connection to the nanoparticles or propellant have yet to be 
established, BfR points out. Kleinmann says it and its suppliers are 
cooperating with 
authorities to understand and clarifyuse of the problem...

 Sir Roger Penrose is very clear on this.
 According to Roger Penrose's Principle of Cosmic Censorship, the
 fact that the laws of physics break down inside the event horizon
 has no impact on the physics outside the black hole 


They are certain they break down at the event horizon and at the 
singularity,
but there's
no way to discuss what they are like between the event horizon and 
the
singularity. 

Correct, because the laws of physics do not aplly there. Otherwise 
the physicists would describe them. They can't because it is 
theoretical, and the laws cannot work beyond a certain point within 
that theory. They do not work there. 

Think about it. Time stops at the Event Horizon. Please state which 
laws of physics can still apply when time has stopped?

The envelope of no return surrounding the black hole is its event 
horizon. As a clock falls toward a black hole, time slows on

Most
just assume that things stay relatively normal for a while. There's 
no way to
prove it either
way of course.

Incorrect.


In a truely closed universe, there are no black holes because 
that would imply
something
existing outside the boundries of our space-time, which we just said 
isn't the
case by
calling it closed. It's another one of those odd contradictory 
things. 


Incorrect, classic black hole theory has included the possiblitiy of 
multi-verse for years. And that has been my point all along. 
Hawkings is now saying that the multi-verse connection is NOT there, 
and you are trying to tell us that that is not significant.

 Anyone seen Scorcese's new movie?

 Saw it last night.  Probably his best since Casino, which I loved.

 Mark Wahlberg is the best thing in it; Leonardo DiCaprio isn't.  As a
 child star he was quite good; now, his method of acting seems to be
 limited to how much he scowls or furrows his brow.

 Good story, well paced.  Better than 90% of the stuff out there, but
 not like the classical Scorcese mob movie, although this is all about
 the Mob.

   I've also found Muktananda's comments and observations about Jesus

   At the risk of being reminded by a FFL participant, once again,
that 
   Muktananda was a pedophile rapist (as inevitably happens every time 
   I bring his name up), I will, time willing, reproduce some excerpts 
   from some of his books on the subject 'cause they're really 
   wonderful.
   
  **End**
  
  On my first ATR I read Muktananda's book, an autobiography that has a
  title I can't remember (something about Blue Pearl?), but a narration
  of his sadhana from early on -- his meditation experiences, meeting
  Nityananda, etc.  It was the only book of his I ever read but I loved
  it.  It was perfect for those times during a long-rounding course when
  you weren't rounding but still riding that wave.  You know, on so many
  levels, those rounding courses we got to do were some of the most
  amazing times.  And so wonderfully whacked.

   I prefer Scorcese's films related to music, such as 'The Last Waltz' 
, 1977.
Last month, via Direct TV, I DVRd it, and have thoroughly enjoyed several
viewings.  Scorcese interviews The Band, and elicits very colorful descriptions
from Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko, et al, along with capturing the  
farewell's concert's broad appeal, including recitations of poetry, interspersed
between performances from Van Morrison, Dylan, Dr. John, Neil Young, Clapton,
Emmy Lou Harris, Muddy Waters, etc., all with The Band, who performed a much 
broader
range of music than you might have remembered.
   Regarding The Departed, I simply got bored with the repitive 
in-your-face
violence, which pushed aside character development.  Last weekend's opening
yielded $26 mil and the No. 1 rating, but I predict that next weekend's take 
will 
be $8 mil, followed by $3 mil the third week.

The crucifixion was devised as a method of terror and execution by the Roman's; it's message: Follow the rules, or else this will happen to you, also. Many thousands of Jews were executed this way. So, it is the symbol of our culture, that life is suffering, and then you die. You don't resurrect- only Jesus can do that... So, the whole teaching of Jesus, got perverted, in so many ways... As a matter of fact;  All of the teachings of the Masters, whether it be Buddha, or all of the rest, are interpreted by the unenlightened followers. So, what do you expect. After all, Bush thinks that Jesus told him to invade Iraq... Jesus has been used to justify all kinds of demonic actions... Didn't those Jesus folks used to burn witches at the stake. Now, there's a spiritual ceremony! R.G.

But fear not. (Since Brahman is beyond fear -- born of duality.)
Brahman 2.0 is due to ship -- that is, due to download, in January.
Among other things, it will have 1008 skins that you can apply --
like personalities -- like skins on PC media players. So Cool!
