[FairfieldLife] Maharishi writing in 1952
This was forwarded to me. I'd not seen it before, so I thought some of you may be interested. This press release was written by Maharishi 55 years ago announcing the visit of Shri Guru Dev, whose childhood name was Raja Raam. The Great Saint of the Himalayas is Coming to Shower His Blessings on the Metropolis The Statement issued by: BAL BRAHMACHARI SHRI MAHESH JI. Press conference convened by Shri Shankaracharya Reception Committee, Delhi on the 15th Oct. 1952 at 5 p.m. in the Young Man's Tennis Club Queen's Gardens, in connection with the visit of HIS HOLINESS SHRI JAGATGURU SHANKARACHARYA MAHARAJ OF JYOTIRMATH. ** It gives me a great pleasure to welcome you all and have your company here this afternoon. It gives me enough encouragement and support to acquaint you with the details of the mission for whose fulfilment His Holiness Shri Jagatguru Shankaracharya Swami BRAHMANAND SARASWATI MAHARAJ will be visiting your city about the 12th of November 1952 and stay here for about a month for Dharmopdesh. Swami Brahmand Saraswati Maharaj, the present Shankaracharya of Jyotirmath Badarikashram (in the Himalayas) is a magnetic personality with a sweet amalgam of High Wisdom and Love of humanity. He combines in himself the Knowledge of the Self with the mysterious powers -- the Sidhis arising out of Yogic perfection and hard penances, which He has undergone throughout His life. He is a great living Yogi and scholar and is revered by millions of Hindus as their Supreme Religious Head. This great Saint of the modern age was born in U.P. in a well to do and renowned Brahman family in 1871 and was enthroned to the seat of His Holiness Jagatguru Shankaracharya in 1941 at Banares, during the ninth session of the All India Sanatan Dharma Maha Sammelan convened by the Bharat Dharma Mahamandal in conjunction with a countrywide support of almost all the ruling princes and different socioreligious institutions all over the country. It may be recalled that it was a long persuasion of about twenty years which could convince Param Virakt Swami Brahmanand Saraswati to accept the great responsibility of the Shankaracharya at the age of seventy. From the tender age of nine when he came out of his home in Search of God, till this time, his life was mostly spent in the lonely hidden regions of the Himalayas, Vindya Giris and the Amarkantakas which are rarely frequented by men and are chiefly inhabited by wild animals. For years together he has lived in hidden caves and thick forests where even the midday sun frets and fumes in vain to dispel the darkness that may be said to have made a permanent abode there in those solitary and distant regions. But today he is easily accessible as he is now the presiding head of Shri Jyotirmath which is the greatest religious institution of the Hindus of Northern India, covering all different creeds and Sampradayas and branches lying under the fold of Hindu Religions. One unique principle of the great Sage that distinguishes Him completely from other living saints of today is that He does not�accept money as gift from his visitors or disciples. This brief description attempts to mirror a few hurried and short glimpses of the life journey of this great living Sage who has actually transformed into a living fact the inner latent potentiality of the soul. He has known the great universal Truth, whose realisation is the aim of the entire scheme of life. For Him the mists of ignorance have completely disappeared and having known the Divine Reality He has verily become an embodiment of the great Divinity. His aim of life, if the life of a realised soul can be said to possess any such aim, is to broadcast the message of the Great Divine Light that He has himself realised, the Light that is the Soul of all human beings. Having himself attained the pinnacle of Self development, he aims at transforming the worldly minded people into the Godly minded, and through his inner Divine touch to change the materialistic hearts of iron into spiritual hearts of gold. His entire personality emanates the sweet perfume of spirituality. His face radiates that rare light which comprises love, authority, serenity and self assuredness that comes only by righteous living and Divine Realisation -- one feels as if some ancient Maharishi mentioned in the pages of the Upanishads has assumed human form and feels that it is worth while leading a pious life and to strive for the realisation of the Divine. His Spiritual teachings are simple and clear and go straight home to heart. He strictly adheres to the course of inner development laid down by the Systems of Indian Philosophy and ethics and he raises His voice never in opposition but always in firm support of the Truths and principles contained in the Hindu Scriptures. According to the tradition from the worldly point of view, the dignity of the

[FairfieldLife] Dalai Lama Quote
Note: forwarded message attached. - Get your own web address. Have a HUGE year through Yahoo! Small Business.---BeginMessage--- Title: Snow Lion Publications Newsletter Dalai Lama Quote of the Week Sometimes we face certain situations where, although we have done something good for others, we may not be able to reap the consequences within this lifetime. When we are talking about the law of causality, we are not limiting its operation to the confines of this life alone, but rather are taking into account both this lifetime and the future. Occasionally people who do not have a proper knowledge of karmic law say that such and such a person is very kind and religious and so forth, but he always has problems, whereas so and so is very deceptive and negative, frequently indulging in negative actions, but always seems very successful. Such people may think that there is no karmic law at all. There are others who go to the other extreme and become superstitious, thinking that when someone experiences illness, it is all due to harmful spirits It is also possible for very negative people to experience their positive karma ripening immaturely due to the very strong force of negative actions, and thus to exhaust the potentials of their virtuous actions. They experience a relative success in this life, while others who are very serious practitioners, as a result of the force of their practices, bring upon this lifetime the consequences of karmic actions which might have otherwise thrown them into rebirth in lower realms of existence in the future. As a result, they experience more problems and illnesses in this life. Just resolving not to indulge in a negative action is not enough. It should be accompanied by the understanding that it is for your own benefit and sake that you must live with awareness of the law of karma: if you have accumulated the causes, you will have to face the consequences; if you desire a particular effect, you can work to produce its causes; and if you do not desire a certain consequence, you can avoid engaging in actions that will bring it about. You should reflect upon the law of causality as follows: that there is a definite relation between causes and effects; that actions not committed will never produce an effect; and that once committed, actions will never lose their potentiality simply through the passage of time. So, if you wish to enjoy desirable fruits, you should work for the accumulation of the appropriate causes, and if you want to avoid undesirable consequences, you should not accumulate their causes [Karma] is a natural law like any other natural law. --from Path to Bliss: A Practical Guide to Stages of Meditation by H.H. the Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, translated by Geshe Thubten Jinpa, edited by Christine Cox, published by Snow Lion Publications SNOW LION PUBLICATIONS is dedicated to the preservation of Tibetan Buddhism and culture by publishing books about this great tradition.

There's been little to no moderation in this group over its five and a half year existence. Some moderation was added a few years ago, but that was done ONLY because of a growing problem with adult-oriented spam. The solution that worked best was to make FFL a restricted group, meaning all prospective new members could not join without first being approved by a moderator. Technically, we had moderation, but anyone who applied to join and filled out the comment section in a way that indicated that person wanted to be a legitimate member would be approved to join and would not be put on moderated status and could get away with posting 50 messages a day, posting profanity, posting their daily jyotish spam message, you name it. Just to clarify, I was *not* trying to dump on Llundrub in my earlier cool it post. I was calling for *fairness*. If he is treated differ- ently than others here, I think we all know that this will be interpreted by some as *unfairness*, and as not cutting *them* the same breaks that have been cut to Llundrub. Might I suggest an alternative solution, given Llun and his work schedule, and his desire to be able to post as much as he wants during his rare days off work? Allow him 35 posts per week, made anytime he wants to make them. The moderators could pick a day of the week on which to start the count, and when he exceeds his quota of 35 posts for that week, he is not allowed to post until the next week, starting on the same day. That still works out to the same five posts a day, but allows him the flexibility he seems to be looking for. For the record, this is the same alternative rule I was going to suggest for Sparaig had he stuck around. Given his OCD problems, it would have been difficult for him to stick to the five-posts-per-day limit, but this alternative enforces the same constraints, but while allowing some flexibility, and without any more impact upon the moderators. Equally for the record, I am *not* suggesting this alternative for anyone else here, unless they announce that they'd prefer it that way (and, of course, if the moderators think that this is a good idea). Llundrub's is a voice here on Fairfield Life that I treasure, and I don't want to see him stalking off in a snit just because he doesn't share the unmistakable wishes of other regular posters here to return this cybercafe to some semblance of civility. Five posts a day, 35 a week, the same objective is achieved. --- Jonathan Chadwick [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The original agreement included the understanding that the group was being moderated, hence rules such as these were always a possibility.

RE: [FairfieldLife] Hitler-looking Buddha...
Hitler did know how to burn off some bad karma. And now we have him as the litmus of megalomaniacal egotism, so we should thank Hitler for burning that bridge of fascism for the whole world, at least in terms of acceptance of its philosophy. On the other hand maybe we should thank him for paving hell for those who also wish to follow him. Sure, hell may not be eternal as the Xtians say, but it can very very hard to get out from. Because it's not so much the first action which put you there which keeps you there but rather the repetition which continues confirming your vow of negativity over and over. That's the tough part. Or when one has made the vow to remain evil. Yes, there are anti-buddhas. Very many of them and so many so that they have named themselves 'legion.' Well haha for them they hardly even have names, the Beelzebubs are few, but many will be the full names of the saints. Very very important for a spiritual person to make a vow to be with the Bodhisattvas at this time for they have powerful protectors. Such as Satan himself.

--- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, claudiouk [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IILUHZcE510 This is actually a pretty good documentary, and a good introduction to Buddha and his teachings for those who don't know much about either. When they present some of the far-fetched legends about his birth and life, they do so *while* mentioning that these were quite possibly tacked on to his story by later followers who were trying to pedestalize him. And the documentary does a very good job of describing the context of the times in which the Buddha lived, and the characteristics of the Brahmin religion that was prevalent in the times, with its inherent elitism, based on keeping the power pyramid of the caste system firmly in place and the caste at the top of that pyramid firmly in charge of all the power and privilege that they had become used to. Buddha was in his way a real Will Rogers Populist, committed to the same *non*-privileged classes as was Jesus, 500 years after him. For those who are interested in the antipathy we see here on FFL sometimes towards Buddhism, this documentary gives a cursory overview of where that antipathy *came* from. The privileged Brahmin classes, who passed their power and their ability to collect money from the *non*- privileged classes from father to son, were NOT HAPPY about this upstart prince who went around preaching that no one *needed* priests and pujas and knowledge from the Vedas -- purchased at a price, always at a price. He, like Jesus after him, taught that caste/class had nothing whatsoever to do with evolution and how close one's enlightenment was. And he, like Jesus after him, was badrapped and persecuted by those whose livelihood his heretical teachings threatened. In my opinion, that was the whole basis of the Hindu/Brahmin dislike for Buddha and Buddhism during his lifetime, and that is the basis of their continuing dislike for Buddhism today. Buddha was a *rebel*, and the privileged classes have *always* hated rebels. The visuals in the documentary are stunning, and will be appreciated as much by those whose feel for India and its history is Hindu-flavored as those whose feel for them are Buddhist-flavored. It's an hour of watching television that you will not later regret.

Given Llun his work schedule he should well have time with such a keen mind to refine his posts here. He should also be able to use more cooth words in his postings as well. Good he works so during that time gives him the time to reflect, (as we know thoughts to be the quickest or fastest of all things). He should then be most well able to expressed here these thoughts of his for us all to then well consider. They may then concisely cogently stated in five post or less in words longer than 3 or 4 letters thus help us all grow to the light. ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

In a message dated 3/29/2007 11:25:48 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I’ll post the photos to the photos section when I get a chance. Maharishi on the day of Raam Navami, 27.3.2007 Today, having invoked the administration of Raja Raam in every country, having performed Puja here is symbolic of Puja of Raam Raj, the administration of Raja Raam in every country of our world family. Whatever everyone does, everyone does from his inner thinking. And fortunately we have been given the key of inner thinking; how to think from inside, how to think from the transcendental self-referral consciousness. We got the key from Guru Dev. We distributed the key to the people of the world family, all countries; more than hundred countries. And today we feel confident that the people everywhere are enough in number to have this majestic thinking, this royal thinking from within, from the field of lively presence of Raja Raam. Raam Brahm Paramat Rupa. Raam is pure spirituality, pure knowledge, pure self-referral intelligence, which in this generation - Dr. Hagelin tells me - has been discovered through the technology of all physical sciences in terms of unified field. Unified field is concentrated field of intelligence, concentrated field of knowledge, where pure knowledge is endowed with pure organizing power, capable of organizing the ever-expanding universe. All diversity of the ever-expanding universe is governed from that level which is eternally self-referral. Investigated and discovered through the approach of modern science in terms of the unified field. And we have in our world family the champion of that highly divine, pure intelligence which is on its own level infinite Being, pure creativity, total organizing power of Natural Law, the Constitution of the Universe, which has been there in the awareness of the Vedic Pandits of India since time immemorial in terms of Ved. Ved is lively today as it is lively in every time whatever the time of the day and night, whatever the time of the year, whatever time of any age. It's lively, it is eternally functioning, ordering the activity of the galactic universe from within. That within is the secret word. The key is turned within. It's a turn-key operation. You think and think from within; think from transcendental consciousness, which is the field of the Unified Field in modern terms, the field of Yog in the ancient terminology, the field of Ved, inscribed in terms of Vedic expression. Ved is traditionally maintained in the oral tradition by the Vedic Pandits. And today we are invoking Ved, we are invoking Unified Field and we are raising the flag of the administration of the Unified Field throughout our family of nations. In all the 192 countries we are proud of raising the flag of Raam Raj, the kingdom of Raam, the kingdom of Raam Brahm Paramat Rupa, kingdom of pure spirituality, pure self-referral creative intelligence, pure Being, transcendental field, where Ved, the Constitution of the Universe, is ever fresh. In the field of the unmanifest, Unified Field. Mathematically drawn in the equations of the Unified Field, orally recited by those fortunate born on the family of Vedic traditions. From today the flag of Raam Raj, in every country, will influence successful operation of every government, no matter what is the constitution of any country. The Constitution of the Universe, triggered by the inner thinking of some people in every country, practising Transcendental Meditation, its advanced techniques and Yogic Flying. The programme is with us and that is why we have a natural desire, duty-bound, to play our parental role for the well-being and happiness of every individual in our world family and every nation in our family of nations. Today, invoking that spirit of eternal freedom, invincibility, integration, all positivity on the level of national intelligence, we are opening the gates of all peace, prosperity, self-sufficiency, freedom and invincibility of every nation in the world. It is our great pride to express that the inner of everyone, which is always in action; inner of everyone - mind, intellect, ego, self-referral Atma, the inner of everyone, which is bliss in nature. And we have the technique of that bliss to become blissful through practise. So today is the day, as have been many days in the past months, past years, we had been wanting to raise the flag of the kingdom of Raam, Raja Raam, in every country. But now, after all these 50 years in the world, desiring for this day, we found this day has come to us. And today having done Puja to Guru Dev, having done Puja to Guru Dev, we say to Guru Dev that your grace, your blessings, your confidence in us, we are offering to your lotus feet and from there we are desiring

I really think Rick should kick you off because so much of your posting is self absorbed garbage, amounting to little more than trolling.

Oh, he can charm your socks off if he wants to, no question about it. For instance, perhaps Askolnik is such a jerk that he would have slammed anyone he felt deserved it. However, you Judy became his focus because you adventitiously stepped into the pile of shit. You mean, I stepped into the pile of shit he was trying to dump on the TMO, and exposed it as shit, right? In my experience on the net very few persons have ever had hate-sites set up for them, so what made you so special? My guess is that it's your fine edged intellect which basically has just been used maliciously for many many years now. Maliciously?? Anyone who was reading alt.m.t during his tenure there--except his own cronies and supporters, of course--will confirm that Skolnick was hands-down the most malicious participant ever to grace that newsgroup. When he wasn't attacking TM, he was attacking the TMers on the newsgroup personally, trying to dig up dirt about their private lives, *lying* about them constantly. Sometime I'll tell the story here about how he knowingly falsely implied on alt.m.t that a TMer who had breast cancer had died because she relied on Maharishi Ayur-Veda rather than conventional medical treatment. He even offered to send her *death certificate* to anyone who was interested. As to what made *me* so special that somebody would set up a hate-site targeting me, it was that I was tangling with a person who thought that was a clever way to deal with the fact that he was being exposed on alt.m.t--by me and others, some of whom he also targeted on that Web site--for what he was, a person of zero integrity and just about infinite malice. Skolnick had found he couldn't get away with his lies and slander on alt.m.t, because he'd get called on them. He set up the Web site so he could lie and slander to his heart's content without being challenged. Your debating this issue will not do you justice. It will take many years for you to earn back people's respect and trust. If you should start to ever care what people really think about you. I don't care what people think about me. I care very much what they think about people like Andrew Skolnick and Barry Wright and John Knapp, just as I care what they think about George Bush and Dick Cheney and Alberto Gonzales and all the other wrongdoers in the administration.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Master's article. The way to the stars
Master's article The way to the stars by the Master , through Benjamin Creme It will soon become apparent that humanity has come to an impasse through which there is no obvious pathway. The blind following of market forces has brought the nations to a standstill in their fierce battle for markets and profits. Some tread more carefully as their economies falter, while others, especially the newly rich, soldier on, intent on even greater riches and growth. Slowly it is dawning on the more experienced that all is not well, that the future looks bleaker than it should, that the everdreaded slump may not be far-off, after all. One might almost say that a new realism is beginning to show itself. In this situation there is only one way for the governments of the world to go a way so new, so imponderable it would seem, that almost no thought has been given to its realization. Cornerstone This new way is the cornerstone of Maitreya's advice to the nations. It is a way untried and yet so obvious in its efficacy that men will be astonished by the success of their actions when it is implemented. The way is sharing, the straightforward demonstration of the oneness of men. The principle of sharing brings into manifestation the quality of divinity. When men share they will reveal themselves as potential Gods. Nothing is so truly divine as this great gesture of Brotherhood. When men see this they will enter into a new definition of themselves and will begin the establishment of the Era of Righteousness. So will it be. When Maitreya enters the lives of men and brings His counsel, a new chapter will open for men. They will know that they are not alone in this vast universe. They will know that there are many other worlds in which their Brothers work for them, saving them from much harm. Maitreya will inaugurate the era of contact with these their far off Brothers, and will establish a future of mutual interaction and service. Thus will it be. Considered words My friends, these are not idle dreams but the considered words of One who Knows. Take heart, therefore, and be prepared for this enlargement of your vision and capacity for service. Maitreya will show you that the way to the stars is a feasible journey of enlightenment. He will show that the units of the one life manifest themselves throughout Cosmos; that until now this knowledge has been withheld from men but will provide a sure path for future generations to follow. Much depends, therefore, on men's response to Maitreya's guidance. Men have indeed the choice: to remain as men stunted in the growth of their magnificence, or to become what in Truth they are, veritable Gods. Maitreya is sure that men will respond from their hearts, and that He will guide them towards their Destiny. (Read more articles by the Master) http://www.shareintl.org

It gives me enough encouragement and support to acquaint you with the details of the mission for whose fulfilment His Holiness Shri Jagatguru Shankaracharya Swami BRAHMANAND SARASWATI MAHARAJ will be visiting your city about the 12th of November 1952 and stay here for about a month for Dharmopdesh. Swami Brahmand Saraswati Maharaj, the present Shankaracharya of Jyotirmath Badarikashram (in the Himalayas) is a magnetic personality with a sweet amalgam of High Wisdom and Love of humanity. He combines in himself the Knowledge of the Self with the mysterious powers -- the Sidhis arising out of Yogic perfection and hard penances, which He has undergone throughout His life. He is a great living Yogi and scholar and is revered by millions of Hindus as their Supreme Religious Head. This great Saint of the modern age was born in U.P. in a well to do and renowned Brahman family in 1871 and was enthroned to the seat of His Holiness Jagatguru Shankaracharya in 1941 at Banares, during the ninth session of the All India Sanatan Dharma Maha Sammelan convened by the Bharat Dharma Mahamandal in conjunction with a countrywide support of almost all the ruling princes and different socioreligious institutions all over the country. It may be recalled that it was a long persuasion of about twenty years which could convince Param Virakt Swami Brahmanand Saraswati to accept the great responsibility of the Shankaracharya at the age of seventy. From the tender age of nine when he came out of his home in Search of God, till this time, his life was mostly spent in the lonely hidden regions of the Himalayas, Vindya Giris and the Amarkantakas which are rarely frequented by men and are chiefly inhabited by wild animals. For years together he has lived in hidden caves and thick forests where even the midday sun frets and fumes in vain to dispel the darkness that may be said to have made a permanent abode there in those solitary and distant regions. But today he is easily accessible as he is now the presiding head of Shri Jyotirmath which is the greatest religious institution of the Hindus of Northern India, covering all different creeds and Sampradayas and branches lying under the fold of Hindu Religions. One unique principle of the great Sage that distinguishes Him completely from other living saints of today is that He does not�accept money as gift from his visitors or disciples. This brief description attempts to mirror a few hurried and short glimpses of the life journey of this great living Sage who has actually transformed into a living fact the inner latent potentiality of the soul. He has known the great universal Truth, whose realisation is the aim of the entire scheme of life. For Him the mists of ignorance have completely disappeared and having known the Divine Reality He has verily become an embodiment of the great Divinity. His aim of life, if the life of a realised soul can be said to possess any such aim, is to broadcast the message of the Great Divine Light that He has himself realised, the Light that is the Soul of all human beings. Having himself attained the pinnacle of Self development, he aims at transforming the worldly minded people into the Godly minded, and through his inner Divine touch to change the materialistic hearts of iron into spiritual hearts of gold. His entire personality emanates the sweet perfume of spirituality. His face radiates that rare light which comprises love, authority, serenity and self assuredness that comes only by righteous living and Divine Realisation -- one feels as if some ancient Maharishi mentioned in the pages of the Upanishads has assumed human form and feels that it is worth while leading a pious life and to strive for the realisation of the Divine.

[FairfieldLife] Re: U. G. Krishnamurti passed away
As far as I am concerned, this was the only interesting post I read here since I returned from India. Some interesting articles: 'Mahesh Bhatt mourns U.G. Krishnamurti's death By Subhash K. Jha Mar 27, 2007, 6:56 GMT Mumbai, March 27 (IANS) Producer-director Mahesh Bhatt is strangely quiet after the death of his mentor, guru and dear friend U.G. Krishnamurti. 'Since U.G. rejected divinity and didn't want to be remembered after his death, I see no point in talking about him when he's no more. It sort of defeats what he believed in,' Bhatt told IANS. 'The story of U.G. is the story of an ordinary man who refused to be treated like god. He scoffed at the 'god factory' and repudiated the lies churned out in the lie factories that run civilisation,' said Bhatt. Bhatt spent 10 days in Italy with Krishnamurti just before his death. 'Those 10 days mean more to me in terms of experience and enrichment than the 30 years that I've known him. It'll take me more than a lifetime to sift through, understand and process the thoughts and opinions he shared with me during those days. It'll be a long time before I actually start talking about those glorious and heartbreaking days.' The veteran filmmaker cremated Krishnamurti on March 23. 'He gave me the responsibility to make sure he was allowed to die the way he wanted. And the greatest task I was given to perform was to cremate him. He died on a sunny afternoon in a villa in Vallecrosia in Italy. Only my two American friends and I were with him when the end came. He had asked all the others to leave,' Bhatt added.

UG, as he was lovingly called by his friends and admirers all over the world, blasted all spiritual discourses as poppycock and thrashed the spiritual masters as misguided fools. A messiah is the one who leaves a mess behind him in the world. Religions have promised roses but you end up with only thorns, were among the quotable quotes of UG who also detested being called an enlightened man. People call me an enlightened man-- I detest that term -- they can't find any other word to describe the way I am functioning, he would say. At the same time, I would point out that there is no such thing as enlightenment at all. Born into a Telugu-speaking Brahmin family on July 9, 1918 in the coastal town of Masulipatam in Andhra Pradesh, UG lost his mother when he was seven days old and was brought up by his maternal grandfather, a noted, wealthy lawyer and a prominent member of the Theosophical Society. UG grew up in a peculiar milieu of theosophy and orthodox Hindu religious beliefs and practices. After schooling in Gudivada town, he did his B.A. Honours course in Philosophy and Psychology at Madras University. Where is this mind these chaps have have been talking about, he once asked his Psychology teacher when hardly 20 years. Between 14 and 21 years of age, he spent seven years off and on with Swami Sivananda in Rishikesh,practising Yoga and meditation but questioned the validity of the various mystical visions and experiences. http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/holnus/002200703241860.htm --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, larry.potter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: not sure if it was posted before, anyway, On March 22, 2007 U.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Questions to, and answers from Benjaim Creme
Questions Answers Q. Is there any specific date for Maitreya's appearance? A. Most people imagine that world events (and the coming of a World Teacher is certainly a world event) take place according to precise dates. They imagine that all Hierarchical decisions are designed for dates written in stone. This is assuredly not the case. The Masters predict certain happenings to take place around a certain time but They know that humanity has freewill and therefore has an enormous influence on the precise timing of a given event. The Masters work in 2,000 year cycles, so for Them really precise timing is not a major consideration. No one knows the exact date on which Maitreya will take up His open work but everyone can understand that it is very, very soon. Since Maitreya will not at first reveal His name and status the onus is on each one of us to recognize Him by what He says and does. In this way people will be recognising the expression of their aspiration for the future of humanity, rather than simply following `The Teacher'. Q. Is it still expected there will be a worldwide stock-market crash before Maitreya's public emergence? A. No, not necessarily, but the economic movement of the world is towards such a slump, which would probably increase once Maitreya starts His public work. Q. (1) Does the US administration truly believe that Iran is trying to build a nuclear weapon or do they just want to remove the Iranian president from power? (2) Does the hypocrisy of trying to pressure other nations into not creating their own atomic weapons programme, while America has a large nuclear arsenal, not occur to those in power in the US government? A. (1) Yes, I believe they do. (2) Presumably not! Q. The US-backed Iraqi cabinet have approved a new oil law that is set to give foreign companies the long-term contracts and safe legal framework they have been waiting for, but which has rattled labour unions and international campaigners, who say oil production should remain in the hands of Iraqis. This means that Iraqi oil is up for grabs and Iraq is now forced to consider all tenders. (1) Was Iraq pressured into agreeing to this bill? (2) If there was such pressure was it exerted by the USA to benefit its own oil companies? (3) Were other countries also involved? (1) Yes. (2) Yes. (3) No. Q. If a new Messiah comes does this mean that the end of the world is near? A. Maitreya is here, as the World Teacher. Is this the end? On the contrary this is the beginning of a new time for humanity. But a humanity chastened and relieved of its illusions and destructiveness. For two thousand years, the Christian groups have taught this account of the return of the Christ, coming on a cloud in the last days of the world, the `end days'. This, I submit, is a completely wrong interpretation of Christian scriptures which has distorted Christians' expectations of the Christ's return. The so-called `end times' are to do not with the end of the world but with the end of the Age of Pisces, inaugurated by the Christ through Jesus 2,000 years ago. He promised to return, at such a time as you think not to inaugurate the new age, that of Aquarius. This time He has come Himself to expand the teaching given through Jesus and to prepare the world for the Aquarian experience. What we have to look forward to is not the end of the world, which will not take place for millions of years ahead, but for the creation of a new civilisation based on higher and truer spiritual values than were possible for humanity at the time of Jesus. Jesus Himself, now a Master, works with the Christ on a daily basis and will reform the Christian churches and teaching, as His part in the Great Plan. Q. We are asked, quite rightly, to tell as many people as we can about the emergence of Maitreya. Do we refer to him as Maitreya, or the `World Teacher' or do we announce him as the `Christ'? It seems vital that those carrying out this task are `on the ball' as it were, so that the knowledge given is accurately received and people know who we are actually talking about. A. Maitreya is not concerned about which name you use to refer to Him. He Himself wishes to be known simply as the Teacher. But He is awaited by all religious groups as: the Christ by Christians, the Imam Mahdi by Muslims, by Jews as the Messiah, as Krishna by Hindus and as Maitreya Buddha by Buddhist. When speaking to these groups it makes sense to use the terms they understand. They all refer to the World Teacher for one humanity. Q. There seems, from all internet and general media reports, to be a lot of UFO activity over Latin American countries. Why is there so much UFO activity there? A. Actually it is not confined to Latin America. There is an increase in UFO activity in many parts of the world. This will continue on an increasing scale up to and beyond the Emergence of Maitreya into the open. Q. I keep hearing

Technically, we had moderation, but anyone who applied to join and filled out the comment section in a way that indicated that person wanted to be a legitimate member would be approved to join and would not be put on moderated status and could get away with posting 50 messages a day, posting profanity, posting their daily jyotish spam message, you name it. - I can see moderation to keep out spammers but the post limit seemed to be to appease people who are probably inept with the Internet. After all you don't have to read every post and especially it is easy to see that a prolongated argument is going on. A moderator could always warn the prolongated argument people and kick them off. If they come back under different accounts you can then turn them over to Yahoo. There always seemed to be this group of people in the movement who thought Vedic living was something out of the 1890's with women walking around with parasols and guys in suits, bowler hats and mustaches riding bicycles. Completely bizarre. The complainers remind me of those types.

Well, I have no idea who your 'buddy' might be referring to, but I know of at least two that could most likely fit that bill, as well as--tragically--two other sets of parents that may very well have let their kids die from curable illnesses while waiting for the magic cures of AV.

It takes a really special person to spread knowingly false stories--using her real name--about someone who had died tragically young, making her out to be a fool for relying on Maharishi Ayur-Veda to cure her cancer when she had used it *only* to mitigate the side effects of chemotherapy (after having had a mastectomy). Her oncologist had *recommended* that she seek some sort of adjunct nonmedical therapy to keep herself in the best possible condition during her treatment.

In a message dated 3/29/2007 2:11:45 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Questions Answers Q. Is there any specific date for Maitreya's appearance? A. Most people imagine that world events (and the coming of a World Teacher is certainly a world event) take place according to precise dates. They imagine that all Hierarchical decisions are designed for dates written in stone. This is assuredly not the case. The Masters predict certain happenings to take place around a certain time but They know that humanity has freewill and therefore has an enormous influence on the precise timing of a given event. The Masters work in 2,000 year cycles, so for Them really precise timing is not a major consideration. No one knows the exact date on which Maitreya will take up His open work but everyone can understand that it is very, very soon. Since Maitreya will not at first reveal His name and status the onus is on each one of us to recognize Him by what He says and does. In this way people will be recognizing the expression of their aspiration for the future of humanity, rather than simply following `The Teacher'. Q. Is it still expected there will be a worldwide stock-market crash before Maitreya's public emergence? A. No, not necessarily, but the economic movement of the world is towards such a slump, which would probably increase once Maitreya starts His public work. Q. (1) Does the US administration truly believe that Iran is trying to build a nuclear weapon or do they just want to remove the Iranian president from power? (2) Does the hypocrisy of trying to pressure other nations into not creating their own atomic weapons programme, while America has a large nuclear arsenal, not occur to those in power in the US government? A. (1) Yes, I believe they do. (2) Presumably not! Q. The US-backed Iraqi cabinet have approved a new oil law that is set to give foreign companies the long-term contracts and safe legal framework they have been waiting for, but which has rattled labour unions and international campaigners, who say oil production should remain in the hands of Iraqis. This means that Iraqi oil is up for grabs – and Iraq is now forced to consider all tenders. (1) Was Iraq pressured into agreeing to this bill? (2) If there was such pressure was it exerted by the USA to benefit its own oil companies? (3) Were other countries also involved? (1) Yes. (2) Yes. (3) No. Q. If a new Messiah comes does this mean that the end of the world is near? A. Maitreya is here, as the World Teacher. Is this the end? On the contrary – this is the beginning of a new time for humanity. But a humanity chastened and relieved of its illusions and destructiveness. For two thousand years, the Christian groups have taught this account of the return of the Christ, coming on a cloud in the last days of the world, the `end days'. This, I submit, is a completely wrong interpretation of Christian scriptures which has distorted Christians' expectations of the Christ's return. The so-called `end times' are to do not with the end of the world but with the end of the Age of Pisces, inaugurated by the Christ through Jesus 2,000 years ago. He promised to return, at such a time as you think not – to inaugurate the new age, that of Aquarius. This time He has come Himself to expand the teaching given through Jesus and to prepare the world for the Aquarian experience. What we have to look forward to is not the end of the world, which will not take place for millions of years ahead, but for the creation of a new civilisation based on higher and truer spiritual values than were possible for humanity at the time of Jesus. Jesus Himself, now a Master, works with the Christ on a daily basis and will reform the Christian churches and teaching, as His part in the Great Plan. Q. We are asked, quite rightly, to tell as many people as we can about the emergence of Maitreya. Do we refer to him as Maitreya, or the `World Teacher' or do we announce him as the `Christ'? It seems vital that those carrying out this task are `on the ball' as it were, so that the knowledge given is accurately received and people know who we are actually talking about. A. Maitreya is not concerned about which name you use to refer to Him. He Himself wishes to be known simply as the Teacher. But He is awaited by all religious groups as: the Christ by Christians, the Imam Mahdi by Muslims, by Jews as the Messiah, as Krishna by Hindus and as Maitreya Buddha by Buddhist. When speaking to these groups it makes sense to use the terms they understand. They all refer to the World Teacher for one humanity. Q. There seems, from all Internet and general media reports, to be a lot of UFO activity over Latin American countries. Why is there so much UFO activity there? A.

[FairfieldLife] message from Yahoo about yesterday's duplicate post bug
We are aware that some groups are experiencing a duplicate post problem and are working on a fix. Please refer to the Yahoo! Groups Team Blog at http://blog.360.yahoo.com/y_groups_team for the latest information on this issue. post from Yahoo Groups Blog: Duplicate Messages and Email Delivery Update (8:00 am PST, 3/29): A fix was pushed at midnight (Pacific Time) that we believe has resolved the problem for messages submitted after that time. However, it is possible that some users of some groups may have continued to receive duplicates of messages that were posted before midnight. We're aware of the duplicate message bug that began affecting groups today (Wednesday, March 28th) and are working to resolve the issue (a side effect of this bug is that some messages are also being delayed). We have actually pushed two fixes already, but we are aware that some groups are still experiencing the problem and that more needs to be done to fully resolve the issue. There is, however, one silver lining to this bug. It was the result of our latest system updates intended to improve email delivery speeds. So once the bugs are resolved, we should see a significant reduction in the time it takes to deliver messages to Yahoo! Groups members. We will update this blog entry as soon as we have more definitive information on the status of this issue. Thank you and our apologies for any inconvenience caused by the duplicate messages. The Yahoo! Groups Team P.S. It would be helpful to get reports of duplicate issues if your groups are still experiencing the problem with messages submitted (not received) after 8:00 pm PST. If so, please add a comment to the bug letting us know the name of your group and the message numbers of the duplicate messages. Thanks! Wednesday March 28, 2007 - 08:10pm (PDT)

Thank you, David Sands dsandsmd @ msn.com * The TMO should just buy up the land around the MD and Pundit sites in VC -- land is only about a thousand an acre in Iowa, so it shouldn't cost more than several million -- even if they had to pay a premium to encourage hog lotters to build elsewhere -- to buy a couple miles of buffer around the properties (lots probably stink for what, 5 miles (?), but a couple miles would certainly mitigate a lot of excrement-flavored air), and with all the hotels sold recently by the TMO, the money is available. The hog industry is just too powerful in Iowa, and the only people who really care about the issue are the unfortunate folks who live out in the twigs where the lots are built.
[FairfieldLife] Hidden power of Bodhichitta

Of all the eighty four thousand different sections of the doctrine, the precious Bodhichitta is the very essence. By hearing the words of such a teaching, it is impossible even for demons, whose nature it is to kill and to do harm, not to have positive thoughts! Kham, a region in East Tibet, was haunted in the past by many ghosts and evil spirits, and this was one of the reasons why Patrul Rinpoche used to explain the Bodhicharyavatara continually to his disciples. Before long, there were no more ghosts--or at least, no one came to any more harm.

Travel to find your fit. http://farechase.yahoo.com/promo-generic-14795097---BeginMessage--- http://invincibleamerica.org/ Invincible America Urgent Need - Just a Few Hundred More Invincible America Assembly Participants The Invincible America Assembly has drawn thousands of Sidhas from the United States and many other countries. The experiences of bliss and higher states of consciousness in the large group program have been greater than in any previous assembly. These experiences have been deeply inspiring to Maharishi, who has brought out such beautiful knowledge in response. Many course participants have naturally stayed on the Assembly longer than planned. Many have returned multiple times. The size of our group has been close to the national invincibility threshold - about 1,730 Yogic Flyers - even through the cold winter months. And even though we have been somewhat shy of the required number, we have created a dramatic change in our country. The most recent example: the sudden and unexpected turnaround in U.S. foreign policy towards Iran, Syria, and North Korea - a dramatic shift away from confrontation and belligerence towards consensus building and peace. Now is the time for us to surpass the threshold - and create stable national coherence and lasting invincibility for America. Next week, 133 more Vedic Pandits will arrive from India. If we can inspire just a few hundred more Sidhas to join the Assembly, we will reach the 2,000 level - our national super radiance number plus a safety factor - and we will create a truly Invincible America. HOUSING AVAILABLE! We can accommodate many more people. More on-campus housing will be available very soon, a good amount of off-campus housing is available, and we sare creating additional flying space right next to the Golden Domes. Annapurna Dining Hall is even offering a new improved menu of organic dishes. And spring weather is here. Please tell your out-of-town friends to apply and encourage local Yogic flyers to take advantage of this historic opportunity to enhance the power of the Assembly. Maharishi is giving so much sustained attention to this Assembly - and is looking at this as the turning point for our country and our world. Let's make hay while the sun shines.

Allow him 35 posts per week, made anytime he wants to make them. The moderators could pick a day of the week on which to start the count, and when he exceeds his quota of 35 posts for that week, he is not allowed to post until the next week, starting on the same day. That still works out to the same five posts a day, but allows him the flexibility he seems to be looking for. That would be fine with me. We could do that with everyone, but then someone could go on vacation for two weeks and hit us with 70 posts on their return. So this privilege should probably be granted selectively.

Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) writes: Questions Answers Q. Is there any specific date for Maitreya's appearance? A. Most people imagine that world events (and the coming of a World Teacher is certainly a world event) take place according to precise dates. They imagine that all Hierarchical decisions are designed for dates written in stone. This is assuredly not the case. The Masters predict certain happenings to take place around a certain time but They know that humanity has freewill and therefore has an enormous influence on the precise timing of a given event. The Masters work in 2,000 year cycles, so for Them really precise timing is not a major consideration. No one knows the exact date on which Maitreya will take up His open work but everyone can understand that it is very, very soon. Since Maitreya will not at first reveal His name and status the onus is on each one of us to recognize Him by what He says and does. In this way people will be recognizing the expression of their aspiration for the future of humanity, rather than simply following `The Teacher'. Q. Is it still expected there will be a worldwide stock-market crash before Maitreya's public emergence? A. No, not necessarily, but the economic movement of the world is towards such a slump, which would probably increase once Maitreya starts His public work. Q. (1) Does the US administration truly believe that Iran is trying to build a nuclear weapon or do they just want to remove the Iranian president from power? (2) Does the hypocrisy of trying to pressure other nations into not creating their own atomic weapons programme, while America has a large nuclear arsenal, not occur to those in power in the US government? A. (1) Yes, I believe they do. (2) Presumably not! Q. The US-backed Iraqi cabinet have approved a new oil law that is set to give foreign companies the long-term contracts and safe legal framework they have been waiting for, but which has rattled labour unions and international campaigners, who say oil production should remain in the hands of Iraqis. This means that Iraqi oil is up for grabs †and Iraq is now forced to consider all tenders. (1) Was Iraq pressured into agreeing to this bill? (2) If there was such pressure was it exerted by the USA to benefit its own oil companies? (3) Were other countries also involved? (1) Yes. (2) Yes. (3) No. Q. If a new Messiah comes does this mean that the end of the world is near? A. Maitreya is here, as the World Teacher. Is this the end? On the contrary †this is the beginning of a new time for humanity. But a humanity chastened and relieved of its illusions and destructiveness. For two thousand years, the Christian groups have taught this account of the return of the Christ, coming on a cloud in the last days of the world, the `end days'. This, I submit, is a completely wrong interpretation of Christian scriptures which has distorted Christians' expectations of the Christ's return. The so-called `end times' are to do not with the end of the world but with the end of the Age of Pisces, inaugurated by the Christ through Jesus 2,000 years ago. He promised to return, at such a time as you think not †to inaugurate the new age, that of Aquarius. This time He has come Himself to expand the teaching given through Jesus and to prepare the world for the Aquarian experience. What we have to look forward to is not the end of the world, which will not take place for millions of years ahead, but for the creation of a new civilisation based on higher and truer spiritual values than were possible for humanity at the time of Jesus. Jesus Himself, now a Master, works with the Christ on a daily basis and will reform the Christian churches and teaching, as His part in the Great Plan. Q. We are asked, quite rightly, to tell as many people as we can about the emergence of Maitreya. Do we refer to him as Maitreya, or the `World Teacher' or do we announce him as the `Christ'? It seems vital that those carrying out this task are `on the ball' as it were, so that the knowledge given is accurately received and people know who we are actually talking about. A. Maitreya is not concerned about which name you use to refer to Him. He Himself wishes to be known simply as the Teacher. But He is awaited by all religious groups as: the Christ by Christians, the Imam Mahdi by Muslims, by Jews as the Messiah, as Krishna by Hindus and as Maitreya Buddha by Buddhist.

RE: [FairfieldLife] Re: Hog Confinements by Vedic City
That's a good point, except that hog farmers are probably a pretty staid bunch and unlikely to sell, not to mention farms themselves are very expensive. The TMO should just buy up the land around the MD and Pundit sites in VC -- land is only about a thousand an acre in Iowa, so it shouldn't cost more than several million -- even if they had to pay a premium to encourage hog lotters to build elsewhere -- to buy a couple miles of buffer around the properties (lots probably stink for what, 5 miles (?), but a couple miles would certainly mitigate a lot of excrement-flavored air), and with all the hotels sold recently by the TMO, the money is available. The hog industry is just too powerful in Iowa, and the only people who really care about the issue are the unfortunate folks who live out in the twigs where the lots are built.

These kind of elaborations remind me to the predicitions of reincarnation of Jesus in order to save the world.

You know, that’s an interesting point. If I was the total leader of a satanic front or an anti religious front I would try to bore acolytes out of their skulls with religion while taking all their money, so as to make them numb them until they will believe anything and thence be true cash cows, and then actually dumb and really irreligious, both at the same time. And then I would speak the glory of my DNA and propagate it upon them.

[FairfieldLife] Rescue Proposal for Saving Fairfield-Life
Since many years I am a fan of this list, but I do not find time to read the 50 - 100 daily messages. So I check the list on random basis with the uncomfortable back-ground feeling to sometimes miss essential developments. So I got a bath-tube session idea to restructure the list without depriving it from it's self-reinforcing tendency. My proposal: 1. Someone, who is versified, prepares a link for all members of the list, in order to put in their real names combined with their FairfieldLife-identity and a short description of who they are. 2. Each of these self-revealing members gets the honestly task to moderate the commentaries of the list for let's say one week in a year in sequential rotation, passing the task to the next member, in order to compress them down to the 10 most interesting contributions of the day. 3. In order to be technically affordable, the candidates, who want to be part of this race send their commentaries as usual to the well-known list address plus to this special link. By this act the variety and freedom of commenting contributions does not get diminished and noone can argue against it by suspecting a new censorship. On the other hand this artifice would help all earnest members, who have little time and were predominantly interested in grasping the essentials, to regularly be part of the list and keeping the thread. For some stupid reason, being greeted with smiles by ma family, I kept the last 100,000 Fairfield-mails like a nostalgic collector without even reading them. This gives me at least the neurotic certainty to possess them in order to be with you :-). If someone would assist me I could take initiative to prepare such a link, which we may call in future Fairfield.Essential or so. And there is another advantage regarding this idea. By this act we can elegantly get sorted out the wheat from the chaff without offending anybody's freedom to say what he wants at any moment he wants. And it is also positive that the main list even with all its scrap continues, because you save the chance to see and judge eventually different from the contemporarily leading moderator and do not feel restricted in whatever manner. I have understanding that for some of you it may sound more complicated but I am inclined to see it more in terms of quality gain by increasing complexity instead of deterrent aggregation of frustrating and demotivating opaques. Being with you and your special thoughts about it and agog of your commentaries about this idea. Hagen
