[FairfieldLife] New TM school in KS to cost $500 million
Grand new plans unfolding rapidly for construction of 'premier, flagship university' at US Brahmasthan by Global Good news staff writer Global Country of World Peace 18 January 2007 The complete, detailed plans for the new Central University to be built at the Brahmasthan (centre) of the US in Kansaswhich 'welled up like a tidal wave' in their entirety under the inspiration of His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (http://maharishi- programmes.globalgoodnews.com/achievements) during the Global Celebrations on 13 January 2007have been rapidly unfolding in the ensuing days. This will be the 'premier, flagship university' of the United States, in the words of His Excellency Dr John Hagelin, Minister of Science and Technology of the Global Country of World Peace and President of the US Peace Government, during Maharishi's Global Family Chat on 14 January. The whole campus will be 'stately, grand, and beautiful', with first- class accommodations and 'royal construction' in gleaming white marble, according to the design by His Excellency Dr Eike Hartmann, Minister of Architecture and City Planning of the Global Country. There will be one grand, unified campus integrating the whole country, comprising 50 smaller campuses for 200 students from each statea total of 10,000 students, all practising Maharishi's Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programme, including Yogic Flying. The layout of the campus will mirror the country itself: eastern states represented by campuses on the eastern side; western states by campuses on the western side, etc. Both the campus and the curriculum will attract the very top, 'first- class' intelligentsia of the world at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and will train the highest calibre of supreme leadership for the nation through Maharishi's Vedic Science and its applied values in the modern scientific disciplines. (A forthcoming Global Good News/Excellence in Action article will describe the curriculum more fully.) Dr Hagelin explained that the university will be functioning by Guru Purnima this July, and will be open to enrol students at the start of the academic year in August or September. Construction costs for each of the 50 campuses are estimated at approximately US$10 million, with overall construction of the entire campus about one-half billion US$. Raja Wynne, Raja of Vedic America (the domain of the Global Country encompassing the central plains states, including Kansas), said that construction will be financed through a combination of 75 per cent bank financing and 25 per cent$150 millionshared among the 50 states. A national initiative is underway, under the leadership of all the Rajas of US domains, to accomplish the initial financing for the whole project within the first 100 hours. Well-wishers of peace and invincibility in each state are taking responsibility to raise $3 million for their state's campus at the Brahmasthan, through investment in high-yield, tax-exempt bonds underwritten by the state of Kansas; donations; and grants from educational foundations. Dr Hagelin and Raja Wynne expressed their deepest gratitude to the Governor of the State of Kansas, one of whose first official acts after re-election was to sign the document authorizing sale of tax- exempt bonds in Kansas, which had been previously organized for building on the Brahmasthan land. Dr Hagelin praised her 'wonderful cooperation and great vision' to recognize the benefits of this projectnot only for the prestige, revenue, and quality of education in Kansasbut also for the peace and invincibility of the whole country and world. The 14 January Global Family Chat is being replayed every day this week on the Maharishi Channel; visit the home page www.mou.org for the daily schedule.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Masterbation and Yoga...(Sorry Judy, men only!)
Rules on sex were probably made during times of famine by kings or priests trying to keep the population down. There is an ayurvedic connection in that excessive masterbation can make one vata. It is the vata imbalance that will impede spiritual development.

And, given the actor who is doing this, I think he was doing it while he filmed the scene, and that some of that comes through when you watch it. It's in the first Star Wars film, when Obi-Wan Kenobi is sitting in the drone talking to two guards while the droids they're looking for are sitting next to him. "These are not the droids you're looking for." That's it. You can also see it in a tremendous film starring Isabelle Adjani. It's called One Deadly Summer in English (L'ete meurtrier in French). Adjani breezes into a small French village and wraps pretty much every man for 50 kilometers in every direction. Probably the best cinema example of the phenomenon I'm talking about, with a woman wrapping men. Wish she'd breeze into my village. :-) Garance in Children Of Paradise. If you'll notice, the actress (Arletty) is not all that attractive. But we're as captivated as the three men in the film are. Johnny Depp in Don Juan de Marco. In spades. Glenn Close in Dangerous Liaisons. Mena Suvari (the cheerleader) in American Beauty. Both Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek in Desperado. Forrest Whitaker in The Color Of Money (an example of "pulling it in"). Russell Crowe in pretty much everything (not his characters but as an actor). Tamasaburo Bando (one of the best Kabuki actors in the world) in Demon Pond, playing two different women. He's a guy. Kim Basinger in L.A. Confidential. Barbara Hershey in The Last Temptation Of Christ. Daniel Craig in the new James Bond flick. Nicole Kidman in To Die For. Emmanuelle Beart in pretty much everything. Many others...

[FairfieldLife] Masterbation and Yoga...(Sorry Judy, men only!)
The highest and best use of the sexual energy is procreation; whether that be spiritual procreation (higher consciousness) by conservation of the shakti (sex) force, or material procreation for the purpose of children. The next outcome, masterbation, in order to release congestion, is the lesser of two evils, though still unfortunate. And the last and worst use of the sex force is for indulging sexual fantasies. In particular meditators should avoid this as the sexual shakti force is so much better used in the service of unfolding higher consciousness and soul powerfor what it's worth! :-)

I agree with you that real attraction is probably very complex, but this is pretty simple. It's not anything you do to *yourself* to "make yourself look more attractive." It's something that you do to the other person, to shift them into a state of attention in which they find you more attrac- tive. So they focus on you more than they might have otherwise.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Is enlightenment sexist?
Turq, This may fall into a category of experiences that you have had that I have not. It seems like this kind of energy power might get you to look at someone, but attraction seems so much more complex to me. Each age group and stage of life seems to join the party with a different agenda and expectations that must be satisfied to make it work. As soon as someone starts talking with you a whole different set of rules apply, no matter what the unconscious signals are being sent on a more primal level. The only guys that I see going under a woman's spell seem to be guys who can't put together a good relationship so they give their power to women. I think is may be the same for women. Most of us seem to get superficially attracted and then have a variety of criteria that a desirable partner needs before we can be deeply attracted. I don't know what mojo power can work outside those needs being met. Like the criteria you mentioned for how auditory a woman must be and her relationship with music lyrics, which I though was spot on for me as well. I may be momentarily attracted to some one exuding "something", but if she sounds like Heather Graham I lose all interest quickly. (She might actually be a good example of the limits of primal mojo) --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, TurquoiseB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > Just curiously, would "mini-siddhis" and "occult > > > > > abilities" include, say, the release of pheromones? > > > > > > > > Possibly, but that's not what I'm talking about. > > > > It's more like "lines of power" emanating from > > > > person who can to this.

It's possible, but it sounds awfully complicated and energy-inefficient to me. Everyone is born with the ability to manipulate other people energetically. It's just that (according to this theory), most men are not aware that they have this ability (because they've never had to use it in male-dominated societies), and most women who do know how to use it don't know *consciously* what they're doing. It's a set of skills that are learned via "trans- mission," and not taught in words. That, FYI, is how we were taught to do this, and to "see" these energy lines, by being in the same room with someone who was able to do it, and watching in a certain state of alertness *as* it was done. Not a word was spoken, but within a few short sessions if you had developed the attunement necessary to make trans- mission of any kind work, you could do it, too. It's just the weirdest thing. Thus (and this is me speculating here, not anything I was told) I would imagine that many women learn this technique of energy manipulation the same way, by just growing up in proximity to other women who are doing it, even if those women don't know consciously what they are doing.

[FairfieldLife] Congress Wants to Blame the Grassroots for Its Own Corruption
Congress Wants to Blame the Grassroots for Its Own Corruption MANASSAS, Va., Jan. 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following is a statement by Richard A. Viguerie, Chairman of GrassrootsFreedom.com, regarding legislation currently being considered by Congress to regulate grassroots communications: "In what sounds like a comedy sketch from Jon Stewart's Daily Show, but isn't, the U. S. Senate would impose criminal penalties, even jail time, on grassroots causes and citizens who criticize Congress. "Section 220 of S. 1, the lobbying reform bill currently before the Senate, would require grassroots causes, even bloggers, who communicate to 500 or more members of the public on policy matters, to register and report quarterly to Congress the same as the big K Street lobbyists. Section 220 would amend existing lobbying reporting law by creating the most expansive intrusion on First Amendment rights ever. For the first time in history, critics of Congress will need to register and report with Congress itself. "The bill would require reporting of 'paid efforts to stimulate grassroots lobbying,' but defines 'paid' merely as communications to 500 or more members of the public, with no other qualifiers. "On January 9, the Senate passed Amendment 7 to S. 1, to create criminal penalties, including up to one year in jail, if someone 'knowingly and willingly fails to file or report.' "That amendment was introduced by Senator David Vitter (R-LA). Senator Vitter, however, is now a co-sponsor of Amendment 20 by Senator Robert Bennett (R-UT) to remove Section 220 from the bill. Unless Amendment 20 succeeds, the Senate will have criminalized the exercise of First Amendment rights. We'd be living under totalitarianism, not democracy. "I started GrassrootsFreedom.com to fight efforts to silence the grassroots. The website provides updates in the legislation and has a petition to sign opposing Section 220. "Thousands of nonprofit leaders, bloggers, and other citizens have hammered the Senate with calls in opposition to Section 220, which seeks to silence the grassroots. The criminal provisions will scare citizens into silence. "The legislation regulates small, legitimate nonprofits, bloggers, and individuals, but creates loopholes for corporations, unions, and large membership organizations that would be able to spend literally hundreds of millions of dollars, yet not report. "Congress is trying to blame the grassroots, which are American citizens engaging in their First Amendment rights, for Washington's internal corruption problems."

Sure, but if you could learn to consciously control their release, you might also be able to learn to adjust their "formula" to attract the person you wanted to attract. Bhairitu has talked about techniques he's learned, or at least knows about, for attracting the opposite sex. I wonder if they involve that kind of control of ordinarily involuntary biological processes. The > abilities I'm talking about work on anyone, > not just the opposite sex. Well, actually you were talking specifically about women's "occult" abilities to attract men in the post I quoted, hence my question about pheromones.

However, some people's charisma comes across even on tape (e.g., Clinton, Leonard Bernstein), whereas with others it only works "live" in fairly close proximity. Plus which, Clinton's charisma seemed to actually work in reverse for a fair number of people. MMY has never seemed particularly charismatic to me on videotape, but many of those who have been around him "live" have a very different impression. So I suspect it's a little more complicated.

These lines are actually > *visible* when you've been trained to see them, > and last I checked pheromones aren't. Also, as I understand the research, pheromones are "nose specific," meaning that the smell that would be attractive to one person would not necessarily be attractive to another. The abilities I'm talking about work on anyone, not just the opposite sex. They're what is often happening on a subtle level when we refer to someone as "charismatic," as opposed to someone we characterize as "sexy." Thus the same abilities can be used to "hook" an audience and get them to focus on the speaker. IMO that's exactly what is happen- ing with a number of famous spiritual ' teachers; they're using a kind of occult "wrap" to make themselves seem more inter- esting than they really are. As opposed to other teachers who never have to resort to this kinda thing.

It's just that as an involuntary biological signal of sexual interest (in both sexes), pheromones can be a very powerful subliminal attractor. I wonder if one could be trained to consciously turn pheromones on or off at will, and/or to consciously detect them. That might be a "siddhi" worth having.

[FairfieldLife] Art Buchwald dies
Newspaper humorist Art Buchwald has died at the age of 81. Last February he was told his kidneys were failing and that he had only a few weeks left. Refusing dialysis, he entered a hospice to die, but his kidneys mysteriously kept functioning for almost another year. By all accounts, including his own, he enjoyed himself thoroughly, entertaining a constant stream of visitors who came to say goodbye: "'The French ambassador gave me the literary equivalent of the Legion of Honor,' he wrote. 'The National Hospice Association made me man of the year. I never realized dying was so much fun.'" (Where would Buchwald be on the level-of- evolution-at-death scale, I wonder?)

Possibly, but that's not what I'm talking about. It's more like "lines of power" emanating from person who can to this.

[FairfieldLife] The Films of David Lynch: Evidentiary of Cosmic Consciousness or Chronic Confusement?
Empire Builder David Lynch talks about his new movie, his new book and his meditation methods By Richard von Busack HAVING traded "the suffocating rubber clown suit of negativity" for "the flak jacket of bliss," David Lynch is back with a new movie, a new book andto wash them both downDavid Lynch Signature Cup coffee line: "It's good for you! An idea in every bean!" Lynch's latest motion picture, Inland Empire, opens locally Feb. 9. To tell the world about it, Lynch encamped in a grassy knoll at Hollywood and La Brea with a live cow as a one-man Oscar campaign for star Laura Dern. I chatted with Lynch via car phone as he drove through Delaware. (Click here to read the full version of the interview.) He was easy to talk to, provided I stayed away from the cause-and-effect in his cinematic dreams. Today, when even the most inane film comes with a director's track on DVD, Lynch's cinema represents one of the last realms of unknown territory. Refusing to explain himself, Lynch tells his audiences that they know more than they think they do. "I have to stay true to my abstract ideas, but I think it's beautiful that there are so many interpretations." I unloaded part of my theory about the connection between the Little Man in Twin Peaks and the demons (if that's what they were) in Mulholland Dr. "That's good!," he said, encouragingly and, I feel, honestly. Silence. Time to try another hunch. Was he influenced by Nathaniel Hawthorne? "Is he the one who wrote Day of the Locust?" Lynch asked, jumping to Nathanael West. I mentioned the author of Twice-Told Tales because he wrote about haunted forests, devils in the woods and towns that turn their back on the wilderness. "The forest is a place of mystery and the unknown," Lynch commented. "Many people turn their backs on that; ... going into a forest and going into a movie theater are both like entering these realms. There's a little more safety in a theater, maybe." How Lynch gets his ideas is explained in Catching the Big Fish: Meditation, Consciousness and Creativity (Tarcher/Penguin; $19.95). In some 10,000 words, he describes his enlightenment through years of Transcendental Meditation. He also discusses other favorite filmmakers. But meditation is the subject he seems to consider most exciting: "Meditation is the door to the stuff that's down underneath. I dive in twice a day. It's constant creativity unblocking, and there's so much power and intuition in it." Followers of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi once offered to crime-proof San Jose through meditation instruction, all for the modest sum of $55.8 million. One might consider the warning of the anti-Maharishi website suggestibility.org, which tells us that through TM "you may reach a stage where you never get out of the 'spacey' state, i.e., you may experience chronic dissociation." Lynch's films might carry a similar warning [italics added]. What's hard to imagine is why Lynch, whose work is so full of turbulence and decay, would be interested in inner peace? Lynch replied, "An artist doesn't have to suffer to show suffering. A lot of people fear meditation. They think they'll get so peaceful, they'll drop out. They mistake anger for an edge, but anger cramps you up. And when you're depressed, you can't work. Meditation is an evolutionary force. The world is changing fast, Richardmore people are ready for it now." Finally, what did he think of Jean Cocteau's comment, "If there's another world, it's inside this one?" "They say there are worlds within worlds, dimensions within dimensions," Lynch responded. "We can all feel them and we can all sense them. It's so beautiful when you can dive in, and experience these subtle levels of intellect, the big reality which the scientist calls 'the Unified Field Theory' ... that something that Is, It Will Be, Foreverthat totality." David Lynch appears at a booksigning Saturday (Jan. 20) at 2pm at Barnes & Noble, 2200 Eastridge Loop, San Jose.

Yes, but that's a different thing than what
I was talking about re Bruce Willis. In his
case it's definitely an "invisibility" siddhi
that is under his control. I've run into him
a few times, and sometimes he "pushes it out"
when he's supposed to be a star and the focus
of the gathering, and when he's not he "pulls
it in" and just disappears. I liken it to
Carlos Castaneda's descriptions of
"inaccessibility."

She sounds like a wonderful person. I'd hire her,
because that's the kind of person you want in
a team situation.

I wonder what the relationship may be
between invisibility and transparency.
I talked to a woman on the phone last
year who left me the impression of being
transparent, not in the sense that I could
see through her ruses and spot her intentions
at their core, but in the sense that she had
no ruses, no agenda, and was merely living
life as it determined to live itself through
her. Does that make sense?
It was in the context of interviewing
people about new jobs they'd taken on.
Except for the one person above, everyone
else had an ego stake in the proceedings.
They reveled in their success or quaked
in the prospect of failure. Their egos
were tangible, opaque objects. This one
person, though, whose name was Angela,
perhaps appropriately ("Angel"), didn't
seem to have an agenda. She lacked an
opaque ego to block the light. She was
doing her work and being supported by
all around her, and marveling at the process.
[FairfieldLife] Uninspiring Vista
http://www.technologyreview.com/Infotech/17992/page1/ "My efforts to get Media Center working highlighted two big problems with Vista. First, it's a memory hog. The hundreds of new features jammed into it have made it a prime example of software bloat, perhaps the quintessence of programmer Niklaus Wirth's law that software gets slower faster than hardware gets faster (for more on the problems with software design that lead to bloat, see "Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Meta," p. 36). Although my computer meets the minimum requirements of a "Vista Premium Ready PC," with one gigabyte of RAM, I could run only a few simple programs, such as a Web browser and word processor, without running out of memory. I couldn't even watch a movie: Windows Media Player could read the contents of the DVD, but there wasn't enough memory to actually play it. In short, you need a hell of a computer just to run this OS."

[FairfieldLife] 'Nouri al-Maliki disses Bush, Rice'
Posted on Wed, Jan. 17, 2007 Iraqi leader criticizes comments by Bush, Rice By Leila Fadel McClatchy NewspapersBAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki voiced frustration with both President George Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Wednesday, saying their recent criticism of the Iraqi government probably helped the "terrorists." Al-Maliki, whose relationship with the United States is strained, was especially upset about Rice's comment last week before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee when she said that al-Maliki's government is working on "borrowed time." "Such statements give moral boosts to the terrorists and push them towards making an extra effort and making them believe that they have defeated the American administration, but I can tell you that they haven't defeated the Iraqi government," he said during a meeting with a handful of reporters. The interview was al-Maliki's first public comments since Bush announced last week that he's sending 21,500 additional American troops to Iraq. The Times of London posted audio of the interview on its Web site. McClatchy Newspapers didn't take part in the interview. Al-Maliki also criticized Bush for saying that the chaotic execution of Saddam Hussein looked like a "revenge killing" during an interview Tuesday with PBS' Jim Lehrer. "I would like to correct President Bush that Saddam, that person, was not subjected to any act of revenge, any physical attack," al-Maliki said. "It was a judicial process that ended with him executed or sentenced to death according to Iraqi law, which sentences such criminals to death." Al-Maliki said he thought Bush was responding to news media pressure. "I know President Bush and I know him as a strong person who does not get affected by the media pressure, but it seems that the pressure ... led to the president giving this statement." Al-Maliki's relationship with the United States has been deteriorating for months over various issues, including control of the military forces in Iraq, the strategy for fighting the war and U.S. killings of Iraqi civilians. On Wednesday, in what may have been a sign of the state of relations between the U.S. and al-Maliki, Rice flew from Kuwait to Europe directly over Baghdad but didn't stop to meet with Iraqi officials. Al-Maliki has come under increasing pressure to disarm Shiite militias allied with his government, especially the Mahdi Army, which is loyal to anti-American Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr and is believed to be behind the killings of hundreds of Sunnis across the capital. Al-Sadr's supporters hold five seats in al-Maliki's Cabinet and form the largest bloc in the Iraqi parliament. Al-Maliki's comments came one week after Bush announced that 17,500 of the additional U.S. troops would be committed to a Baghdad security plan intended to target "extremists" in the capital. The plan is supposed to be Iraqi-led, with U.S. forces acting as a support system. But some here fear that the plan will allow Shiite militias to continue their campaign to force Sunni residents out of the capital. Al-Maliki predicted that the government's need for U.S. troops would decrease in the next three to six months. Advisers to al-Maliki and legislators have indicated that al-Maliki gave only a tepid welcome to more forces in the capital. "I believe that if we succeed in implementing the agreement between us to speed up the equipping and providing weapons to our military forces, I think that within three to six months our need for the American troops will dramatically go down," al-Maliki said. "That is on condition that there are real, strong efforts to support our military forces and equipping and arming them." Al-Maliki blamed high casualties on an ill-equipped Iraqi army. "I can strongly say that we could have been in a better situation right now regarding the equipment we have and the weapons we have," he said. "If that had happened it would have greatly decreased the level of our losses and the losses of the multinational forces as well." --- - Don't get soaked.

That's a good moment, when you realize 1) that someone is trying to "wrap" you into loving them, and 2) and even better, that it really isn't a good idea for either of you to allow yourself to be wrapped. It breaks the samskaric patterns and allows new patterns to develop. Once you've tuned in to this occult "wrapping" stuff, it's really fun to watch it in action. I used to live in Malibu, in a neighborhood where a lot of the residents were movie and TV stars, and boy! did they know how to do this. Now in most cases they didn't *consciously* know how to do this, or even that they were doing it, but it was really obvious that they *were* doing it if you'd been trained to "see" energetically. Someone *not* famous but with a lot of occult phwam! would walk into a rest- aurant and all the conversation would stop, all eyes focused on her (or, occasionally, him). And it wasn't even necessarily the most attractive women who could do this; it was an energy thang, not a beauty thang. Case in point: Lesley Ann Warren. NOT a terribly attractive woman in person, but when she "pushes it out" she can stop traffic. The issue, from a spiritual perspective, is being able to "wrap" people this way and NOT doing it. >From an occult point of view, the ability to "push it out" and attract other people's attention is far less valuable than the ability to "pull it in" and use your energy for something far more interesting. The most interesting person I ever encountered in this regard was Bruce Willis. He has the ability to be as famous as he is and be in a crowd of people and "go invisible," to the point that almost no one notices him. Being able to "push it out" is kid stuff, occultly; being able to "pull it in" this way is far more difficult.
