Edwards isn't dumb either, nor was Clinton, nor Gary Hart. And Obama didn't think his membership in Trinity Church and his association with Rev. Wright would cause him any problems. In the statement he released, Edwards says, In the course of several campaigns, I started to believe that I was special and became increasingly egocentric and narcissistic.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Principles to practice !
You are avoiding the question. Not surprising really as I gather you realize you are in deep waters on this issue of mixing instructions. I look at it this way. In the early 70s, a spiritual seeker gets his instruction in TM by a green TM teacher in his early 20s and faithfully meditates twice a day every day. Years later, the faithful meditator meets the guru himself on some course in Europe and is instructed by the guru to do his daily sadhana differently. The faithful meditator does not say No, my guru as I have already received instruction by a qualified representative of the Transcendental Meditation Program ® as taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and could never even consider varying from that instruction (this reminds me of the guy in Fairfield who said he would not learn the sidhis program because MMY told him his program was to meditate for one hour at a time and he felt he could not change that). Of course, the faithful meditator is wisely and eagerly open to new instruction, because guru trumps green TM instructor in his 20s any day. Years later, the faithful meditator meets a Divine Mother atavar Herself on one of Her annual summer tours to the US and is instructed by the Divine Mother avatar Herself to do his daily sadhana differently. The *smart* meditator does not say No, Divine Mother, as I have already received instruction by a guru who made some difference in my life but never delivered even three percent of what was promised to me after 25 years of sadhana...

I'd like to be optimistic about the future, but I'm not sure if the outlook is very bright. I also listen to Thom everyday. In fact what I'm saying about Edwards I got from Thom and he is particularly the one who said corporate interests were afraid of Edwards because of his history of corporate litigation. Thom also mentioned that Edwards would be a great AT. Thom's preferences for presidential candidate ran like this: Kucinich Edwards Obama Clinton This battle between the elite who run the corporations nowadays has gone on from centuries. After all this country was founded on getting away from one big corporation: the British East India Company and that battle still goes on. It didn't end with the Revolutionary War by any means. They want no government and everything run by either one big corporation or a few big ones. It is feudalism all over again and I for one won't stand for it and will do what I can to educate the public and turn them against big business. There's nothing wrong at all with small business which if you listen to Thom carefully is what he's againts is corporate personhood. I agree with Thom on rolling back to the rules that were in place regarding corporations prior to the Civil War. I also believe the Civil War actually occurred because the companies that wanted to build the transcontinental railroad wanted a stronger federal government so there would be no barriers between them building from state to state. In those days it was possible that different state could have mandated different track gauges which would have made such a project impossible. We have concentrated wealth by a 1% few and in a true democracy we should overrule them.

I think the Euro movement must be a lot more forgiving of such interests than the US one. But I was wrong then and am sorry to have slandered your good standing with the Euro movement. Bingo! On one of my stays on the MUM campus, a sidha from Europe got accepted onto European Purusha at the same time that the university was pulling it's hair out trying to get him tossed out of his room. His trangressions were that he cooked in his room and he did not go to the dome often enough to keep the CCP course office happy. At one time, the university put a lock on his door, but that didn't stop him from getting back inside. How easy it was to get onto European Purusha became an inside joke with us. ...but mountain doesn't move! --- On Sat, 8/9/08, curtisdeltablues [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: curtisdeltablues [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Principles to practice !

Not surprising really as I gather you realize you are in deep waters on this issue of mixing instructions. mixing instructions? If Maharishi's system of instruction and emphasis on effortlessness is valuable wouldn't you want all teachers to use it? No. Different Masters, different strokes. Rich Archer uses Maharishi's procedures for the use of mantras without his own Guru, Amma's consent and approval. He never asked Her if that is OK. He didn't bother, instead infusing the situation with his own ego thus creating a mess his Guru certainly did not ask for. He certainly has a nerve, I'll give him that. Wouldn't that be part of the revival of this ancient knowledge? Or is the branding of trademarked TM and its conglomerate subsidiaries the only important thing? There are no deep waters, the tyranny of WYMS is over and if you don't care about entering the moldy golden domes of pure pretension, there is no carrot or stick left. A little good will towards other systems would go a long way toward rehabbing the movement's image. I beg to disagree. What the world need now is coherence, not fellows like Rich running around creating a mess and mishmash of different traditions. I don't see how you can tow such an old school line with your interest in Creme. You are also a movement renegade whether you know it or not Nabby. My standing in the Movement is excellent thank you very much. I have a standing invitation to rejoin Purusha at any moment if I so wish. There are no differences between what Mr. Creme is claiming regarding the Reappearance of the Masters of Wisdom, including one of the most senior Masters, our Guru Dev, in this Age and the knowlegde Maharishi so tierlessly, happily and generously exposed.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Edwards admits affair, denies fathering child
Unfortunately, we don't have Thom anymore in our market. I know one of his big issues is corporate personhood. I admire Thom as one who holds his own in almost any debate of ideas. Perhaps like you I often looked to him for help in forming an opinion on a POV different from the conservative side. I don't quite go along with everything he advocates. But he has won my admiration was as one who came up through a spiritual ideaology in deeds and philosopy. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Bhairitu [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: lurkernomore20002000 wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Bhairitu noozguru@ wrote: Never said it was a conspiracy on the part of big business.

But apparently Lurk you think that big business is run by saints! :D :D :D :D :D That'd be the day. I would say I'm aligned 55% with Thom Hartmann's view of big business. I'm really not sure which candidate, if either, would stand up more to big business. We may be past that point, in which case I am afraid we may be doomed. I'd like to be optimistic about the future, but I'm not sure if the outlook is very bright. I also listen to Thom everyday. In fact what I'm saying about Edwards I got from Thom and he is particularly the one who said corporate interests were afraid of Edwards because of his history of corporate litigation. Thom also mentioned that Edwards would be a great AT. Thom's preferences for presidential candidate ran like this: Kucinich Edwards Obama Clinton This battle between the elite who run the corporations nowadays has gone on from centuries. After all this country was founded on getting away from one big corporation: the British East India Company and that battle still goes on. It didn't end with the Revolutionary War by any means. They want no government and everything run by either one big corporation or a few big ones. It is feudalism all over again and I for one won't stand for it and will do what I can to educate the public and turn them against big business. There's nothing wrong at all with small business which if you listen to Thom carefully is what he's againts is corporate personhood. I agree with Thom on rolling back to the rules that were in place regarding corporations prior to the Civil War. I also believe the Civil War actually occurred because the companies that wanted to build the transcontinental railroad wanted a stronger federal government so there would be no barriers between them building from state to state. In those days it was possible that different state could have mandated different track gauges which would have made such a project impossible. We have concentrated wealth by a 1% few and in a true democracy we should overrule them. And they should have never been allowed to accumulate such wealth and power as we see they are just greedy bastards and provide little if any benefit to society.

You can download his podcasts here: www.green960.com I also post to his forum at: http://www.thomhartmann.com We get all kinds posting there from blowhard conservatives to blowhard liberals. :) Thom even read one of my posts one day and disagreed with it but I don't quite think he understood what I was saying. lurkernomore20002000 wrote: Unfortunately, we don't have Thom anymore in our market.
