Sims -- 1966-1982 Cunt 1325 -- still going strong more below (chuckle, grin) Cunt is an English language vulgarism most commonly used in reference to vulva or vagina and, more generally, the pubis, from the mons veneris to the perineum.[1] The earliest citation of this usage, circa 1230, is in the Oxford English Dictionary, referring to the London street known as Gropecunt Lane; as the word cunt has been incorporated into the colloquial and technical speech of nautical and other occupational traditions. Generally, cunt is considered an obscene word, and therefore greatly offensive, although, as with all verbal profanities, some speakers regard it as merely informal or even a term of endearment. Calling someone a cunt is generally considered impolite at best, and often as extremely offensive, though this varies between countries and social groupings. Cunt is sometimes used as a nonspecific derogatory epithet in referring to either sex (in Australian English, specifically male; the Macquarie Dictionary defines cunt as a despicable man). Its usage as vulgar insult is, however, a relatively recent development, the earliest citation dating from 1929.[citation needed].Use of cunt as term of abuse for a woman is a 20th/21st century meaning. From Frederic Manning's 1929 The Middle Parts of Fortune: What's the cunt want to come down 'ere buggering us about for, 'aven't we done enough bloody work in th' week? This word for the female genitalia dates back to the Middle English period, c.1325. Its exact origin is unknown, but is related to the Old Norse kunta, a word with cognates in several other Germanic languages. From the Proverbs of Hendyng, a manuscript from sometime before 1325: #540;eue þi cunte to cunnig and craue affetir wedding. (Give your cunt wisely and beg after the wedding.) The term also has various other uses (see usage below). Contents [hide]

T I intuitively knew that here is no wrong that I can ever do, and I had a sense of universal love towards everybody and everything. There are experiences where thinking is stopped,and there is simply witnessing of a force. Thoughts are literally drained off your brain. This is another experience, as the one quoted above, where I claerly was reflecting, while having the experience. There was some 'insight' here, some intuition together with the experience in the bar (and coming from it) They were different years towns etc. I have had my share of revelations in this life and I understand how compelling they can feel. I don't doubt that this insight is useful to T, what I doubt is that it is of a qualitatively different character than my own insights. Here T sums up what he sees as my perspective: I would never judge your insights or intuitions. I just explain mine, and why I go for it. TCurtis is never tired to point out that he regards the same mystical experiences many of us share in a different way and strips them of any religious meaning they could have. In fact he tries to understand them rationally only, as I believe. Thus he places ratio[nality] highest, and I always understood this to mean a place where intellect is 'in control' I only disagree with this aspect of the characterization, that my insights are gained in this way: T: he tries to understand them rationallyonly, Okay, Curtis, I could not have known how this worked for you. I appreciate that there is more to it than pure intellectual reflection. What that 'more' is, one has to see, because due to the very nature of atheism it couldn't have been a ehm revelation of any sort, like a intuition coming from a higher, or more knowing source I assume. In fact, as you explain, as atheism is very much something defined through a negative, it can only be a reaction to this, the falling away of something, which you must feel is oppressing, thus a liberation. Yesterday in TV they interviewed this man (Richard Dawkins) who almost religiously endorses atheism, he just wrote a bestseller. The commentators said more or less that his viewpoints and argumentation wasn't really applying to Europe, as there are many more atheists here than in the USA. If you take East-Germany, the majority are actually atheists, and the people there, who are believers, did so against he ideological oppression of the former communist government, who had postulated a 'dialectic materialism' as a states-ideology. I would therefore categorize your liberating experience as a reflection of your own religious history, within the context of the type of religion followed in the USA. It certainly also is a reflection on Christianity a a whole, and whenever you or Turq speak of Theism, you mention 'a Creator God', yet this is in my oppinion not a defining factor of religion, or the kind of theism I persue. In fact Advaita, which has been my starting point, and still is defining very much what I believe, a personal God is admitted, as real as we are, but he is not a creator, as there is no creation at all, the universe is just a projection, a reflection within Maya, illussion. God, Ishwara, is still subject to Maya! That's the bottom-line. There are various other theologies especially with the Vaishnavas, who postulate a Creator-God, but very different than in Christianity. In Dvaita, eg. God is not the Creator, the universe and the souls are crated by samsara and karma, very much like in Buddhism,God is there rather for liberation instead of creation. Visishtadvaita claims God to be the 'efficient and material' cause of the universe. So its a Creator God, but we are all parts of God, like his limbs! So there are many different ways of looking at it, we in the west are usually just exposed to ONE mode of Theism, and if that comes along with oppressive thoughts and ideologies, like the threat of eternal condemnation, its quite understandable, that being free of these concepts must be a liberation. But what if you had never believed in any of these anyway, like me, who was not religiously raised? I didn't have all this baggage with me, I rather freely embraced spirituality, more like exploring it and going by my own experience only. This is a common misunderstanding about how certain people come to atheism. By limiting their faculties to one aspect of our cognitive and intuitive processes. It makes dismissing the insight much easier if I am only using one aspect of our ability to understand and all the deists are using their whole heart and mind. The truth for me is that my

[FairfieldLife] Ramana's out of body experience
About a year after his first meeting with Sri Bhagavan, Ganapathi Muni experienced a remarkable outflow of his Grace. While he was sitting in meditation in the temple Tiruvottiyur he felt distracted and longed intensely for the presence and guidance of the Bhagavan. At that moment Sri Ramana entered the temple. Ganapati prostrated himself before him and, as he was about to rise, he felt the Maharshi's hand upon his head and a terrifically vital force coursing through his body from the touch; so that he also received Grace by touch from the Master. Speaking about this incident in later years, Sri Ramana Maharshi said: One day, some years ago, I was lying down and awake when I distinctly felt my body rise higher and higher. I could see the physical objects below growing smaller and smaller until they disappeared and all around me was a limitless expanse of dazzling light. After some time I felt the body slowly descend and the physical objects below began to appear. I was so fully aware of this incident that I finally concluded that it must be by such means that Sages using the powers of Siddhis travel over vast distances in a short time and appear and disappear in such a mysterious manner. While the body thus descended to the ground it occurred to me that I was at Tiruvottiyur though I had never seen the place before. I found myself on a highroad and walked along it. At some distance from the roadside was a temple of Ganapati and I entered it. at http://www.tinyurl.com/ysxstr

Mercury is combust until Oct. 29, and retrograde until Nov. 1 Be careful with your stocks, business and communications. http://www.fairfieldtoday.com/index.php?option=com_contenttask=blogcategoryid=104Itemid=98 docu1000 wrote: Below is a free alert from Mahendra Sharma (link http://www.mahendraprophecy.com/LatestFlash.asp?Id=334Page=3%20 I wonder what Maharishi Jyotish predicts. Dear Member, We are approaching toward worst volatile period like 1929 and 1987. I advise please stay alert and just watch market. Hold cash as many will fall with fall of commodities, stock market and hot bubble currencies. This will happen in the next two weeks. As predicted today all commodities will remain very volatile. Trading up can move down during the day (This apply for metals, oil and grains). I mentioned in newsletter that today is the day to sell Canadian and Australian dollar and yes once again I confirm that. Currently December contract are trading at $1.0243 and 0.9009. Dollar index trading stable and it should trade positive. I predicted major crash in all stock market from 18 October so watch this date closely and plan your trades accordingly. There will blood-bath in Asian market and may few of the market will close down for few days so watch carefully. Get out from all position before 18 October including metals, Uranium and Alternative energy stocks. Coffee and cotton to remain positive. Thanks God Bless Mahendra Sharma, 11 Oct 5.50AM
[FairfieldLife] Meditation and Faith
i found this Buddist quote to be inspiring, so i wanted to share it: [my commentary added, in brackets] An act of meditation is actually an act of faith -- of faith in your spirit, in your own potential. Faith is the basis of meditation. Not of faith in something outside you -- a metaphysical buddha, an unattainable ideal, or someone else's words. [gurus, bibles] The faith is in yourself, in your own buddha-nature. [Atman] You too can be a buddha, an awakened being that lives and responds in a wise, creative, and compassionate way. -Martine Batchelor, Meditation for Life Copyright Wisdom Publications 2001.

That's why Comcast is very lame doing this because there *are* companies including film studios using P2P as a low cost way to distribute even DRM'd stuff. You can use DixX's DRM this way as once downloaded DivX's software will download with your authorization code a small section of the file that makes it playable.

biosoundbill wrote: Richard are you saying that the TM mantras are not Tantric Bija Mantras? Bill - The so-called TM bija mantras are just common everyday words from the Sanskrit dictionary. They can be found in almost any standard Sanskrit lexicon. For example, Ram, Sri, Nama...nothing esoteric. In contrast, Buddhist Tantric bijas are all esoteric - sounds that have no semantic meaning. Marshy is not a Tantric Yogi, therefore he would be knowing nothing about any esoteric bijas. He may or may not have been instructed in Sri Vidya by his guru, and Marshy may or may not have read Shankara's Saundarylahari. However, there are no bija mantras to be found in the Rig Veda, the scriptures extolled by the Marshy. If he were to impart any esoteric bija mantras, where whould he have gotten them? If he read them in books, that would be a travesty for him to pass them on - you can get real bija mantras only in an initiation from a tantric guru. There are no bija mantras in Patanjalis Yoga Sutras or in any of the standard Upanishads. That is unless you are suggesting that Marshy was a Tantric Guru - if so, why do you suppose he hasn't shared any of his insights into sexual yoga, and why would he keep all the sex enjoyment techniques to himself? We already know that the Marshy was a sexual deviate - but now you're suggesting that he passed out tantric bija mantras that he read about in a book, without having been an authentic tantric initiate? What's up with that?

Doesn't speak well for TM does it? Lurk: Big judgement. I think it does speak well for this group. Ever been to a quiet party? It's pretty boring. I'd rather have a active group dynamic that DOES require a little imposed discipline - if thats what it takes to keep things from degrading into pettiness. Bhairitu: Supposedly with TM that discipline is supposed to come from within. So what you are saying is it doesn't. Lurk: Bhairitu, let me tell you a secret I have learned, that has allowed me to be a little successful in my chosen field of sales. People like to talk. People LOVE to talk, espcially about themselves, especially about their opinions. And if you are willing to listen, you will find ourself making a friend. So, no, I don't think TM will instill enough self discipline to overcome this tendency. And I don't view it as a failure of TM. I view it as a positive thing that people here have opinions, and POVs that they want to express. Just remember one thing. God, (or whoever, or whatever), gave you two ears and one mouth for a reason.

THYPERLINK http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/bob+dylan/talkin+world+war+iii+blues_20021598. htmlalkin’ World War III Blues Talkin' World War III Blues was a spontaneous composition created in the studio during Dylan's final session for The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. Some time ago a crazy dream came to me, I dreamt I was walkin into world war three, I went to the doctor the very next day To see what kinda words he could say. He said it was a bad dream. I wouldnt worry bout it none, though, They were my own dreams and they’re only in my head. I said, hold it, doc, a world war passed through my brain. He said, nurse, get your pad, this boys insane, He grabbed my arm, I said ouch! As I landed on the psychiatric couch, He said, tell me about it. Well, the whole thing started at 3 oclock fast, It was all over by quarter past. I was down in the sewer with some little lover When I peeked out from a manhole cover Wondering who turned the lights on. Well, I got up and walked around And up and down the lonesome town. I stood a-wondering which way to go, I lit a cigarette on a parking meter And walked on down the road. It was a normal day. Well, I rung the fallout shelter bell And I leaned my head and I gave a yell, Give me a string bean, Im a hungry man. A shotgun fired and away I ran. I dont blame them too much though, I know I look funny. Down at the corner by a hot-dog stand I seen a man, I said, howdy friend, I guess theres just us two. He screamed a bit and away he flew. Thought I was a communist. Well, I spied a girl and before she could leave, Lets go and play adam and eve. I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin When she said, hey man, you crazy or sumpin, You see what happened last time they started. Well, I seen a cadillac window uptown And there was nobody aroun, I got into the drivers seat And I drove 42nd street In my cadillac. Good car to drive after a war. Well, I remember seein some ad, So I turned on my conelrad. But I didnt pay my con ed bill, So the radio didnt work so well. Turned on my player- It was rock-a-day, johnny singin, Tell your ma, tell your pa, Our loves are gonna grow ooh-wah, ooh-wah. I was feelin kinda lonesome and blue, I needed somebody to talk to. So I called up the operator of time Just to hear a voice of some kind. When you hear the beep It will be three oclock, She said that for over an hour And I hung it up. Well, the doctor interrupted me just about then, Sayin, hey Ive been havin the same old dreams, But mine was a little different you see. I dreamt that the only person left after the war was me. I didnt see you around. Well, now time passed and now it seems Everybodys having them dreams. Everybody sees themselves walkin around with no one else. Half of the people can be part right all of the time, Some of the people can be all right part of the time. I think abraham lincoln said that.

This has been one of the most satisfying exchanges I have had here on FFL, so thanks for that! It is really advancing my thinking and allowing me to reconsider topics in a fresh way.

T I intuitively knew that here is no wrong that I can ever do, and I had a sense of universal love towards everybody and everything. There are experiences where thinking is stopped,and there is simply witnessing of a force. Thoughts are literally drained off your brain. This is another experience, as the one quoted above, where I claerly was reflecting, while having the experience. There was some 'insight' here, some intuition together with the experience in the bar (and coming from it) They were different years towns etc. I have had my share of revelations in this life and I understand how compelling they can feel. I don't doubt that this insight is useful to T, what I doubt is that it is of a qualitatively different character than my own insights. Here T sums up what he sees as my perspective: I would never judge your insights or intuitions. I just explain mine, and why I go for it. TCurtis is never tired to point out that he regards the same mystical experiences many of us share in a different way and strips them of any religious meaning they could have. In fact he tries to understand them rationally only, as I believe. Thus he places ratio[nality] highest, and I always understood this to mean a place where intellect is 'in control' I only disagree with this aspect of the characterization, that my insights are gained in this way: T: he tries to understand them rationallyonly, Okay, Curtis, I could not have known how this worked for you. I appreciate that there is more to it than pure intellectual reflection. What that 'more' is, one has to see, because due to the very nature of atheism it couldn't have been a ehm revelation of any sort, like a intuition coming from a higher, or more knowing source I assume. In fact, as you explain, as atheism is very much something defined through a negative, it can only be a reaction to this, the falling away of something, which you must feel is oppressing, thus a liberation. Yesterday in TV they interviewed this man (Richard Dawkins) who almost religiously endorses atheism, he just wrote a bestseller. The commentators said more or less that his viewpoints and argumentation wasn't really applying to Europe, as there are many more atheists here than in the USA. If you take East-Germany, the majority are actually atheists, and the people there, who are believers, did so against he ideological oppression of the former communist government, who had postulated a 'dialectic materialism' as a states-ideology. I would therefore categorize your liberating experience as a reflection of your own religious history, within the context of the type of religion followed in the USA. It certainly also is a reflection on Christianity a a whole, and whenever you or Turq speak of Theism, you mention 'a Creator God', yet this is in my oppinion not a defining factor of religion, or the kind of theism I persue. In fact Advaita, which has been my starting point, and still is defining very much what I believe, a personal God is admitted, as real as we are, but he is not a creator, as there is no creation at all, the universe is just a projection, a reflection within Maya, illussion. God, Ishwara, is still subject to Maya! That's the bottom-line. There are various other theologies especially with the Vaishnavas, who postulate a Creator-God, but very different than in Christianity. In Dvaita, eg. God is not the Creator, the universe and the souls are crated by samsara and karma, very much like in Buddhism,God is there rather for liberation instead of creation. Visishtadvaita claims God to be the 'efficient and material' cause of the universe. So its a Creator God, but we are all parts of God, like his limbs! So there are many different ways of looking at it, we in the west are usually just exposed to ONE mode of Theism, and if that comes along with oppressive thoughts and ideologies, like the threat of eternal condemnation, its quite understandable, that being free of these concepts must be a
[FairfieldLife] Why are we pausing?
Are you for war? I think this upcoming vote is a critical taking of America's psychic temperature, and, given that Hillery is leading in the polls, and that the Dems have not confronted BushCo with any potency, I am dumbfounded that anyone would vote for either Dems or Repubs -- they're all so obviously in the grasp of GlobalBiz. Hillary's lead can only be real if the heart and soul of America is shockingly tainted. And, it burns so fiercely to see such an angelic presentation like Obama's and know he's already got 32 million bucks -- bought and paid for -- and fast becoming an Uncle Tom. And Obama succeeds while a REAL angel like Kucinich is an object of derision (Leprachaun's body) by even Jon Stewart. I keep asking, How is it that Americans don't know about pain? Even a papercut should have taught us that wars leave scars that are like acid on skin, leave memories of injustice that will not stop boiling inside the heads of parents, brothers, sisters, sons and daughters, and doom a generation to experiencing a personality hobbled with a crippling intent to exact revenge. Ask anyone who lost a loved one in the fall of the 911 towers if they've stopped grinding about it. I haven't. Didn't you lose a loved one then too? Hundreds of hero cops and firefighters killed instantly? Who can recover from this? How evil the powers that keep whole cultures blazing with anger by such atrocities. Almost every American has seen The Godfather where even the children of one's enemy must be killed, because those children will surely seek revenge when they grow older, because, OF COURSE, they will not be able to forgive, could never be able to forgive, and are impossibly hard-wired forever to hate. What Evil Group Consciousness is created by our mass killings in the Middle East? We know how we've been challenged to bear the memory of 9-11 -- what don't we get about our killing at least 100 Arabs for every person who died in the towers? What loathsome monster of karma now lurches our way? Why don't Americans flinch when talking about war and what momentums are created that continue for lifetimes? Ask any Jew if they know someone with a Nazi tattoo. No one forgets. These things echo and inform and forcefully mold cultures. What prevents EVERYONE from knowing this tarbaby? Why can't Americans feel this world groan under the weight of all the wars and what still roils billions into every sort of negativity? Who hasn't seen a napalmed baby in a ditch or its equivalent EVERY DAY MANY TIMES ON EVERY CHANNEL? Jack Baur doing a waterboarding -- that's PRIME TIME -- KIDS WATCHING TOO - THAT'S OUR ENTERTAINMENT??? Spending half a trillion dollars on pillaging the lives of hundreds of millions of innocents while America's downtrodden poor cringe -- this is politely talked about on CNN like, well, just like how good loving Nazi families talked about Krystalnacht around the nightly dinner table, right? 2012 cannot come fast enough, but how dangerous is this long fall towards it? After the masses realize that the tipping point happened way before anyone noticed, after the noticing starts, panic in the streets might be the most common response as folks everywhere go through the stages of grief. 1. Denial: It can't be happening. America isn't a fascist state that tortures, invades, imperializes. 2. Anger: Who let this happen? Off with their heads! 3. Bargaining: Just don't rock the boat. They're still letting us vote, and they'll change presidents soon, and maybe we can all get along. 4. Depression: Globalbiz cannot be beat. A trillion gallons of tattoo ink will be used to stamp 666 on every forehead. 5. Acceptance: It's going to be OK. 2012 is just around the corner. I'll tell ya, America has never had a Bastille Day, but I think that the powers of GlobalBiz are pushing our culture way too fast, and the masses are not being given enough assimilation time for each erosion to our Bill of Rights. Is the pressure mounting so much that the poor will do an uprising? I doubt it, but how then will all that stress show itself in our culture? More bad, lots more bad, right?

I wish people would stop breaking into tears when they talk to me these days. I am traveling across the country at the moment Colorado to California speaking to groups of Americans from all walks of life about the assault on liberty and the ten steps now underway in America to a violently closed society. The good news is that Americans are already awake: I thought there would be resistance to or disbelief at this message of gathering darkness but I am finding crowds of people who don't need me to tell them to worry; they are already scared, already alert to the danger and entirely prepared to hear what the big picture might look like. To my great relief, Americans are smart and brave and they are unflinching in their readiness to hear the worst and take action. And they love their country. But I can't stand the stories I am hearing. I can't stand to open my email these days. And wherever I go, it seems, at least once a day, someone very strong starts to cry while they are speaking. In Boulder, two days ago, a rosy-cheeked thirtysomething mother of two small children, in soft yoga velours, started to tear up when she said to me: `I want to take action but I am so scared. I look at my kids and I am scared. How do you deal with fear? Is it safer for them if I act or stay quiet? I don't want to get on a list.' In DC, before that, a beefy, handsome civil servant, a government department head probably a Republican confides in a lowered voice that he is scared to sign the new ID requirement for all government employees, that exposes all his most personal information to the State but he is scared not to sign it: `If I don't, I lose my job, my house. It's like the German National ID card,' he said quietly. This morning in Denver I talked for almost an hour to a brave, much-decorated high-level military leader who is not only on the watch list for his criticism of the administration his family is now on the list. He has undertaken many dangerous combat missions in his service to his country over the course of his career, but his voice cracks when he talks about the possibility that he is exposing his children to harassment. Jim Spencer, a former columnist for the Denver Post who has been critical of the Bush administration, told me today that I could use his name: he is on the watch list. An attorney contacts me to say that she told her colleagues at the Justice Department not to torture a detainee; she says she then faced a criminal investigation, a professional referral, saw her emails deleted and now she is on the watch list. I was told last night that a leader of Code Pink, the anti-war women's action group, was refused entry to Canada. I hear from a tech guy who works for the airlines again, probably a Republican that once you are on the list you never get off. Someone else says that his friend opened his luggage to find a letter from the TSA saying that they did not appreciate his reading material. Before I go into the security lines, I find myself editing my possessions. In New York's LaGuardia, I reluctantly found myself putting a hardcover copy of Tara McKelvey's excellent Monstering, an expose of CIA interrogation practices, in a garbage can before I get in the security line; it is based on classified information. This morning at my hotel, before going to the airport, I threw away a very nice black T-shirt that said `We Will Not be Silenced' with an Arabic translation that someone had given me, along with a copy of poems written by detainees at Guantanamo. In my America we are not scared to get in line at the airport. In my America, we will not be silenced. More times than I can count, courageous and confident men and women who are telling me about speaking up, but who are risking what they see as the possible loss of job, home or the ability to pay for grown kids' schooling, start to choke up. Yesterday a woman in one gathering started to cry simply while talking about the degradation of her beloved country. And always the questions: what do we do? It is clear from this inundation of personal stories of abuse and retribution against ordinary Americans that a network of criminal behavior and intention is catching up more and more mainstream citizens in its grasp.

Sims -- 1966-1982 Cunt 1325 -- still going strong more below (chuckle, grin) Cunt is an English language vulgarism most commonly used in reference to vulva or vagina and, more generally, the pubis, from the mons veneris to the perineum.[1] The earliest citation of this usage, circa 1230, is in the Oxford English Dictionary, referring to the London street known as Gropecunt Lane; as the word cunt has been incorporated into the colloquial and technical speech of nautical and other occupational traditions. Generally, cunt is considered an obscene word, and therefore greatly offensive, although, as with all verbal profanities, some speakers regard it as merely informal or even a term of endearment. Calling someone a cunt is generally considered impolite at best, and often as extremely offensive, though this varies between countries and social groupings. Cunt is sometimes used as a nonspecific derogatory epithet in referring to either sex (in Australian English, specifically male; the Macquarie Dictionary defines cunt as a despicable man). Its usage as vulgar insult is, however, a relatively recent development, the earliest citation dating from 1929.[citation needed].Use of cunt as term of abuse for a woman is a 20th/21st century meaning. From Frederic Manning's 1929 The Middle Parts of Fortune: What's the cunt want to come down 'ere buggering us about for, 'aven't we done enough bloody work in th' week? This word for the female genitalia dates back to the Middle English period, c.1325. Its exact origin is unknown, but is related to the Old Norse kunta, a word with cognates in several other Germanic languages. From the Proverbs of Hendyng, a manuscript from sometime before 1325: #540;eue þi cunte to cunnig and craue affetir wedding. (Give your cunt wisely and beg after the wedding.) The term also has various other uses (see usage below). Contents [hide]

[FairfieldLife] Next Pandemic
Heard on the radio, a scientist was saying that the last flu pandemic was in 1918. With records kept at that time, the estimated number of deaths was 30 million but she said, 50 million was more accurate. She stated that every hundred years, there are two minor pandemics and one major one. She said that the bird flu is now primed or evolved for the next one hundred year pandemic which will sweep across the USA in waves over three weeks and will kill hundreds of millions world wild because---the virus has evolved to withstand temperatures over 98.6. She said that when the flu stikes, the US will become inoperative because half the population will be at home. The hospitals will not be able to handle the load and the infrastructure and services will have no one to work them. When the pandemic hits the US, you'll need to have three months of supplies, food and water stored in your home until it finishes. Be prepared to stay home for at least three months. And don't forget the guns when the neighbors come over, sick as a dog, wanting your stuff. http://www.foreignaffairs.org/20050701faessay84402/michael-t- osterholm/preparing-for-the-next-pandemic.html

Actually, I seem to recall that 'suuryaH' is *always* pronounced like 'suuriaH'(~soo-ree-a[k]ha), but am not absolutely sure about that. I think the pronunciation depends on the requirements of the metre (meter)in question. In Classical Sanskrit, it is, of course, pronounced like 'soor-ya(k)ha'!

In the North the `ii' is pronounced more like the `i' in the words ring, bring, fling, etc Some Northerners use the anusvara `M' ending, but more use the allegedly more powerful `ng' ending known as anunAsika,- personally I think the anusvara `M' ending is more powerful and grounding in the long term. The late Harish Johari tended to pronounce the bijas with `ng' endings combined with the `ee' sound as against the `i' sound giving shreeng, hreeng, kreeng, etc Bottom line no matter what way the bijas are pronounced they are all Tantric.

Marshy isn't a tantric yogi in the Nath tradition, therefore he would not be knowing any actual bija mantras. The tantric bija mantras are enumerated in the Buddhist Tantras. There are no bija mantras in the Rig Veda, in the Upahishads, or in the Puranas. There are no canonical collections of bija mantras in Hinduism. The Buddhist bija mantras all originated with the Nath Siddhas when India was a Buddhist country.

---The Mahareeshee was by No means a sexual deviate!. He simply had normal sexual relationships, (encounters) with various females. What's wrong with that? In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Richard J. Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: biosoundbill wrote: Richard are you saying that the TM mantras are not Tantric Bija Mantras? Bill - The so-called TM bija mantras are just common everyday words from the Sanskrit dictionary. They can be found in almost any standard Sanskrit lexicon. For example, Ram, Sri, Nama...nothing esoteric. In contrast, Buddhist Tantric bijas are all esoteric - sounds that have no semantic meaning. Marshy is not a Tantric Yogi, therefore he would be knowing nothing about any esoteric bijas. He may or may not have been instructed in Sri Vidya by his guru, and Marshy may or may not have read Shankara's Saundarylahari. However, there are no bija mantras to be found in the Rig Veda, the scriptures extolled by the Marshy. If he were to impart any esoteric bija mantras, where whould he have gotten them? If he read them in books, that would be a travesty for him to pass them on - you can get real bija mantras only in an initiation from a tantric guru. There are no bija mantras in Patanjalis Yoga Sutras or in any of the standard Upanishads. That is unless you are suggesting that Marshy was a Tantric Guru - if so, why do you suppose he hasn't shared any of his insights into sexual yoga, and why would he keep all the sex enjoyment techniques to himself? We already know that the Marshy was a sexual deviate - but now you're suggesting that he passed out tantric bija mantras that he read about in a book, without having been an authentic tantric initiate? What's up with that?

[FairfieldLife] Elephants Use Smell of Fear to Sort Friend from Foe
Elephants Use Smell of Fear to Sort Friend from Foe Scientific American, October 18, 2007 http://www.sciam.com/print_version.cfm?articleID=B4F19421-0EA5-62AE-89758AC94F723D17 They say elephants never forget, but their brainpower does not stop there. A new study suggests that pachyderms can distinguish threatening groups of people from those who mean them no harm. Researchers working in Kenya presented the animals with identical red garments worn for five days either by Maasai tribesmen, who slay elephants to prove their strength and daring, or by farmers of the Kamba tribe, who leave the pachyderms in peace. The beasts turned tail and ran after sniffing the clothing worn by the Maasai but had much less reaction to the odor of the Kamba, according to a report published in Current Biology. The same elephants responded aggressively toward unworn red robesthe traditional color of the Maasaibut not toward odorless white clothing. It tells us a bit about how elephants classify the world, says evolutionary psychologist Richard Byrne of the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. Instead of treating humans as all one set, they're able to discriminate within one set. Human minds effortlessly extract key characteristics common to groups of objects, he says, such as the redness of apples. But researchers are less sure whether animals can form similar categories. Byrne says he, St. Andrews colleague Lucy Bates and the other team members began their experiment after talking to members of the Amboseli Elephant Research Project in Nairobi, Kenya, who told tales of odd elephant behavior. There were a number of reports of very inquisitive and sometimes aggressive reactions of elephants toward signs of Maasai, but not towards people brandishing spears, he says. Researchers have found that individual elephants can identify one another as strangers or old friends. Byrne says the fact that elephants seem to pick out particular cues from their environment that mark Maasai warriors suggests that the animals can actually classify whole subsets of a species based on the threat they pose. The elephants' different reactions to smell and color make sense, he adds, because the odor of a Maasai hunter implies that he is nearby, triggering fear that sends the pachyderm packing. It's an innovative way of getting at the problem of what animals know about their environments, says Karen McComb, an expert in mammal communication and cognition at the University of Sussex in Brighton, England. The response is very appropriate to knowing what the threat was. It's suggesting they have some sort of reasonably advanced understanding of the sorts of cues that are going to be dangers. As for what goes on in their heads and whether it resembles human consciousness, she adds, we can only guess.
