This is the sole criteria that you use for enlightenment? Thats a
rather low bar, IMO. (high bar if you are "limboing")

You have the perogative of defining enlightenment any way you want.
But that is why for years I have said it the nbecomes a meaningless
label, with 1000 self-labeled enlightened ones and up to 1000
definitions of enlightenment (or 2000 :)). 

Non ownership of thoughts and actions is evident to anyone who simple
thinks about it a bit. That realization becomes then, not a thought,
but a living experience, IME. For example, "Did I create this brain,
these neurotransmitters, these receptors, these 1000 or so links
between every neuron to others, this cognitive system of senses,
memory and sensory and memory processing? Do I really even know how it
works beyond a surface outline,could I repair it, could I design a
better system? Do I understand how a thought forms, how it initiated?
Do I have any control over the initiation of a thought? " For me since
the answer is no, how could I possibly claim ownership of thoughts?

Same logic train for action. Just the fact that thought proceeds many
 actions -- if I don't own the thought, I can't own the action. And if
the action is pure reaction, with no thought, how can I possibly claim
ownership of that?  

(There was a long post to trinity about a year and a half ago that
went into more detail.)

By your definition, anyone who reads this post, and ponders it for 30
seconds, will be enlightened.

No, its what you and perhaps some friends call enlightenment. If one
finds the label of "enlightenment" important or useful, to improve
clarity and meaningfulness in your communications, I suggest you call
it LBE -- low bar enlightenment.

How could it be a great achievement -- or any achievement at all -- if
you had/have no ownership of the action?

I feel the same way when I get out of bed in the morning. Gotta take
that first step in order for the other stuff in the day to unfold.
Would you call betting out of bed "enlightenment" too? If so then the

According to the wikipeda article, the planet is so
close to the star that it's 'year' is only 13 earth
days (huge red flag to me here), so there's been
plenty of time already to observe the planet "transit
the solar disc".

As for finding out if there is life on board, does
life require elements and temperatures similar to what
we have on earth to exist? I doubt it. The assumption
that that is necessary for life is yet another myopic
assumption by the same scientists who are just as
certain they have discovered a planet here.

Yeah, for most of us there will be no reward for all that we do, 
except the reward of the work itself. No parades or TV shows or 
wealth. No fame or groupies or brass plaques somewhere. Just 
whatever we accomplish for ourselves, by ourselves, for ourselves.

[FairfieldLife] Dark nights of the soul (was Re: If I were Jerry Jarvis . . .)

2007-08-08 Thread Patrick Gillam
I've written before about a 90-day funk I underwent when I was in my
early mid-thirties, during which time nothing in life held any
significance whatsoever. All human beings struck me as nothing more
than ambulatory shit factories. It was positively Ecclesiastical -
"all is vanity and a striving after wind."

http://www.readbibleonline.net/?page_id=28

After three months of this I got bored and lifted myself out, making a
conscious decision to live and be happy. The Unity School of
Christianity's "Daily Word" affirmative prayers were great for this
business of creating my reality. 

The overall experience made me very open to accepting the validity of
experiences such as those described below. It also made sense of those
teachings that speak of the superficiality of so much of life.
Nonetheless, I continue to take most of life seriously now,
particularly as it regards my children. Interestingly, my 13-year-old
daughter went through a similar funk last year. I need to talk to her
about it, now that she seems to have emerged. For that matter, I'll
bet there's a connection between Dark Night experiences and the funk
of the middle school years, as the child begins to take on some of the
adult's qualities of awareness.

The subsumption of the localized sense of self that every individual 
soul eventually goes through. I was thinking about this process this 
morning and marveling at how complete it is, and once we have grown 
out of the necessity of ownership of our thoughts and actions, we 
continue on, every moving into greater and greater fields of 
freedom. I was marveling at this because just as a person needs that 
ownership, the sense of small "I" for a few years, once it is gone, 
it is gone for good. I find myself in awe of "my" innate ability to 
let go of anything which I once considered individual and grow 
towards that which is ever more expansive. So this transition is not 
an artificial one, or one in which we will ever return to defining 
ourselves as purely individual selves again. Which makes the whole 
thing pretty funny-- that we as such unevolved souls here on planet 
earth, place such importance and cherish this state of subsuming our 
individuality to a natural state of Being, that we call 
it "enlightenment". Really puts things into perspective. I can 
imagine a planet of Yogis or Buddhas or Christs somewhere and they'd 
look over after I proclaimed my great achievement, kinda yawn, and 
say, "Oh is that all?". lol! Not to minimize the reality of having 
eternally found my way home, or living this boundless freedom, but 
yet again recognizing that it is another step, in an infinite number 
of steps. This one in fact possibly the most significant of all, 
because from this point on, I am now awake to the unfolding of all 
of the others. That's what I meant by disappearing for good.:-)

[FairfieldLife] 'Mia Offers to Carry the Cross for Darfur'

2007-08-08 Thread Robert
Actress Mia Farrow Offers to Exchange Her Freedom for Darfur Rebel's Safe 
PassageBy Ray McDonald  
 Washington
 07 August 2007
   
   
   Mia Farrow Mia Farrow has offered to relinquish her freedom so that an 
ailing Darfur rebel can get safe passage out of a hospital. 
 In an August 6 letter posted on her website, the 62-year-old actress-activist 
made the offer to Sudan's President Omar Al-Bashir. 
 Suleiman Jamous, a moderate who has been a key link between Darfur rebels and 
aid workers in the beleaguered Sudanese region, is in a U.N. hospital suffering 
from abdominal problems. The U.N. said he is free to leave, but he fears arrest 
or government reprisal.
 In her letter to President Al-Bashir, Farrow said "As you are undoubtedly 
aware, Mr. Jamous is in need of a medical procedure that cannot be carried out 
in Kadugli. I am therefore offering to take Mr. Jamous' place, to exchange my 
freedom for his, in the knowledge of his importance to the civilians of Darfur 
and in the conviction that he will apply his energies toward creating the just 
and lasting peace that the Sudanese people deserve and hope for."
 Mia Farrow has traveled to Darfur as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador and signed 
her letter with that title. 
 Attempts to reach Sudan's Foreign Ministry spokesman on August 7 were not 
successful. On August 2, the Sudanese government said it would consider a 
separate written plea by activists and celebrities, including Farrow and South 
African Archbishop Desmond Tutu, to guarantee Jamous' safe passage. 
 A leader of one of Darfur's largest rebel groups, the Sudan Liberation Army, 
Jamous was seized last year and transferred for medical treatment to the U.N. 
hospital. He has faced threats from rival rebel chiefs and some government 
forces.
 Humanitarian workers consider Jamous the leader who may best guarantee the 
safety of their aid convoys, which have come under attack in the area. 
Activists also say he could spur renewed negotiations between rebel groups and 
the government after last year's peace deal failed to quell the violence. 
 UNICEF spokeswoman Kate Donovan said on August 6 that the organization was 
unaware of Mia Farrow's offer, and would like to consult with her before 
commenting.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Dalai Lama Quote

2007-08-08 Thread billy jim
Dalai Lama states -
   
  "The continuum of an impure substratum will later cease, not existing in 
Buddhahood, whereas a pure substratum's continuum of similar type will exist 
right through Buddhahood."
   
  Would any of you actually envisage yourself speaking or writing this way? 
Even in a philosophically oriented discussion? This type of Gelugpa-speak is a 
mode of discourse so divorced from human experience that it has ossified into a 
ideologically fixated form of thinking. 
   
  Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Dalai Lama's Gelugpa sect was quite strident 
in his claim that no one can be enlightened unless they hold the position that 
reality (emptiness) is a "non-affirming negation" - in other words a complete 
nullity or absence.  So how do we hold such a point of view? By intellectually 
coming to that conclusion and then maintaining that very conclusion as an idea. 
   
  Think about that for a moment. You can't be enlightened without holding a 
"thought".
   
  For the Dalai Lama it is this thought - "Any thing that is lacks inherent 
existence". 
  For Christians it is the thought - "Jesus is my savior".
   
  Furthermore:
  For Buddhists there is no beginning but there is an end. 
  For Christians there is a beginning but no end.
   
  Amazing what antinomies our minds will construe to maintain a sense of 
meaning.

Just curious, somehow I feel that using the shortened version
of 'have' in a construction like that is a, well, "borderline
case". It's my gut feeling that ''ve' above is not a "fully-
auxiliary" (yikes!) verb but functions in the "near-primary" meaning
