NorthPoint Astrology Journal
by Pam Younghans
 
 

For May 18 to 24, 2009
 

"The energy of Contact allows you to feel that all doors to your inner
Source will open when you surrender and go with the flow like water."
 

The effect of the alignment between Neptune, Chiron and Jupiter comes
into our awareness more prominently this week, as all three
(heretofore called "the Triad") finally step into the same degree of
Aquarius and merge their energies more completely. We've already seen
significant growth in our spiritual perspective and in the healing of
our wound of separation over the past month or two, while it was just
Neptune and Chiron traveling together. Now, with Jupiter joining in,
we're turning up the volume even more.

Any aspects to other planets now involve the combined energy of the
three planets. Accordingly, please note that in the "highlighted
aspects" list for the week, I'm now listing aspects as involving THE
TRIAD rather than listing them separately.

This week, those aspects from the Triad include a square to retrograde
Mercury on Wednesday, and a septile aspect to V*enus on Saturday --
the same day that the first exact Chiron-Jupiter conjunction occurs. A
powerful time.

Already, the square to Mercury is strong, and seems to be exaggerating
the retrograde energies. I've been amazed at the interesting
acrobatics this e-newsletter program has been engaged in this morning.
All I do is touch my hand to the keyboard, and the page jumps off-
screen. It makes me wonder how the actual sending will go...

We start off the week with a Sun-Mercury conjunction -- meaning that
the two planetary bodies are at exactly the same degree in the zodiac.
Since Mercury is currently retrograde (moving backward) and very close
to being square the Triad, this alignment may well shine a light on
the current potentials for inner healing and spiritual awakening.

Monday is certainly a day not to expect the outer world to function
normally, as there is so much energy at work on the inner planes. My
computer's gyrations this morning give reason to believe that we may
see our electromagnetic world turned a bit upside-down, perhaps
throughout the week.

As human beings becoming more in touch with our spiritual natures, we
are being "re-wired" in significant ways. When we shift on physical,
mental and physical levels, our interactions with anything else that
is a conduit for electromagnetic energy -- which includes other people
as well as our computers! -- are going to go through an adjustment
phase.

Mercury is truly in the hotseat this week, following up his rendezvous
with the Sun with a more subtle biquintile aspect to Pluto on Tuesday.
This occurs on the same day as another biquintile between Saturn and
Mars, giving us reason to pursue further the meaning of this aspect.

The manifestation of a biquintile is variable, since it relates to
that state of chaos from which creative change is born. But, according
to astrologer Rob Hand, the biquintile seems to "grant the ability to
turn creative inspiration into concrete end-products." As always, it
is the choice and level of consciousness of the individual that
directs this energy appropriately -- and Tuesday may bring wide
variations on this theme.

Taken individually, the aspects to Mercury on Wednesday could be
described as:

a softening of old mental constructs that have kept us separate from
the cosmos and from community (Neptune square Mercury)
an opportunity to heal the wounds that have us believing that our
ideas are not good enough, or that we are too limited to conceptualize
and receive universal concepts (Chiron square Mercury)
an enhancement of the mental state, so that our minds are very active
and eager for new information (Jupiter square Mercury)
an excitation of our nervous systems, making it easier for us to open
the doorways of higher consciousness (Uranus sextile Mercury)
With these aspects in combination, this is clearly a powerful time for
gaining access to higher realms of consciousness, assisted by the
healing of insecurities and the dissolving of limiting thought
patterns.

The Sun enters Gemini this week, also on Wednesday. This is especially
significant since Mercury is known as the "ruler" of Gemini, and it
means we're adding even more emphasis on this process of opening our
minds to new concepts and connections.

The Sun will be in Gemini until the Solstice on June 20, so we can
consider these next four weeks to represent a major opportunity for an
expansion of consciousness. And, the square to Mercury from the Triad
will be strong again during the Full Moon on June 7 and then be exact
on June 9 and 10, at the same time that Jupiter's influence will be
strengthened due to his retrograde station on June 15.

That's a lot of astrological information -- but even that is in
keeping with the times! In more succinct terms, we're in for quite a
ride -- so set your boundaries and ground yourself, leave fears and
resistance be

[FairfieldLife] Kaladevi's claims

[billy jim]

So kaladevi, dear.

You portray yourself as knowing something. However, we
have never talked, either in this forum or another. If you think 
you know so much about me then please present the 
message number or date/time of our conversation -  anything 
where you can claim that you know me or anything about me.
Please be specific - none of Vaj's bullshit. Perhaps you can 
enlighten me about myself - dear. The message number please!

I think this is the same Bill who claims to be an Orthodox Greek monk (I guess 
he must have been defrocked?), a TM teacher who still practices TM, a student 
of Younge Khachab Rinpoche ( http://www.rimeshed rubling.dreamhos ters.com/ 
site/ ) but seems to dabble in a number of lamas who happen upon the center in 
Kansas City. IOW it sounds like Bill doesn't know what his lineage is. He's 
what we'd call a dabbler.

 I think this is the same guy who also claimed to be a disciple of Hitler in a 
previous life.

 One things for certain, he really should repeat the ngondro (if he has ever 
performed it at all). Based on his roughshod presentation here I would 
seriously doubt he's Dzogchen material.

It's a very precise phrase, and in my opinion
an accurate one.

I first encounter the young, still-thin Bevan
Morris on my last TM course, a six-month stint
of awesome boredom spent ostensibly learning
how to fly (well, at the time that really *was*
how it was advertised) in St. Moritz, Switzer-
land. There was no real "course leader," but
Bevan would show up from time to time to over-
see things and "take reports" of "good exper-
iences" to theoretically take back to Maharishi.

I sat in a room with him one day and watched
as he was talking with person after person
who had such "good experiences" to report. 
And I noticed something fascinating, something
that at the time I wasn't expecting. I noticed
a prevailing emotion in Bevan as he listened,
and in how he reacted.

That emotion was JEALOUSY.

The better the experience being related, the
deeper Bevan's frown became. And the better
the experience, the more likely he was to come
up with the classic putdown phrase, "Oh that...
that's just something good happening," and
brush off the person reporting it. Everyone
who ever heard that phrase knew that their
experience or their question would *never* be
reported to Maharishi.

Two of the few books I had brought with me 
to that course were Carlos Castaneda's "Tales
Of Power" and "Journey To Ixtlan." So it was
fascinating to meet the "young Joe Stalin" 
while reading a few minutes every day don 
Juan's teachings about "petty tyrants."

The thing about "petty tyrants" is that their
prevailing emotion of JEALOUSY keeps them from
ever having any truly lofty goals in life. All
that they aspire to is becoming a better tyrant,
to "keep ahead" of the people they're jealous
of. And that was Bevan Morris in a nutshell.

And, as I suggested then, the button-pushing 
may have gone on a bit long :-), but it might 
have served the purpose of clarifying the issue
of whether there *is* a difference between
"meditator" and "non-meditator." I found two 
types of responses to Doug's parody interesting.

The first was the number of people suspecting 
that the guy who compiles an Index of FFL posts 
critical of the TMO every month might be doing
this as a way to suggest that TM meditators were,
in fact, better than anyone else. But that's 
sorta the nature of good satire -- the better it
is, the more people take it seriously. I've had 
fun in the past riffing off some of Doug's posts
*as if they were serious*. To be honest, I didn't
always know for sure myself, but it seemed more
fun to pretend they were serious because...um...
there would be more to say about them if such 
posts *were* serious than there would if they
weren't. :-)

The second was what I perceived as a slight
reluctance on the part of -- interestingly 
enough -- those who *do* meditate regularly to
admit it by "stepping up to the place" as a
TM meditator. Well, given what they post, and
why, I don't actually find that all that sur-
prising. If they did so, there would be no
question in the mind of lurkers here that folks
can practice TM faithfully for decades and still
be petty, small-minded, prudish, hateful, and 
driven by no higher goal in life than needing to 
argue and play pseudo-intellectual "gotcha" games 
with another human being for no more noble 
purpose than the desire to "make them lose."

The reality of the "meditator vs. non-meditator"
difference is that there is no difference.

People are people are people are people.

The only thing one can probably say with some
validity about people who seem to believe that
"their kind of people" are actually better or
in some way superior to "those other kinds of
people" is that anyone who believes that clearly
isn't. By believing that they are superior in
some way to others they, have identified themselves
as belonging to that vast mainstream of people on
this planet who believe exactly that. Let's face 
it...the only people on this rock who "stand out" 
in a positive way are those few who *don't* believe 
themselves superior to others. They are as rare as
hen's teeth -- in spiritual circles or not. And 
Doug's satire nails that.

Bevan would have to be to the right of Joseph Stalin...he doesn't seem like a 
communist to me...
But I get a similarity between the personality of Joseph Goebbels...

>From Wikipedia:
"In February 1926, Hitler, having finished working on Mein Kampf, made a sudden 
return to party affairs and soon disabused the northerners of any illusions 
about where he stood. He summoned about sixty gauleiters and other activists, 
including Goebbels, to a meeting at Bamberg, in Streicher's Gau of Franconia, 
where he gave a two-hour speech repudiating the political program of the 
"socialist" wing of the party. For Hitler, the real enemy of the German people 
was always the Jews, not the capitalists. Goebbels was bitterly disillusioned. 
"I feel devastated," he wrote. "What sort of Hitler? A reactionary?" He was 
horrified by Hitler's characterization of socialism as "a Jewish creation," his 
declaration that the Soviet Union must be destroyed, and his assertion that 
private property would not be expropriated by a Nazi government. "I no longer 
fully believe in Hitler. That's the terrible thing: my inner support has been 
taken away."[16]

Hitler, however, recognized Goebbels's talents, and he was a shrewd judge of 
character; he knew that Goebbels craved recognition above all else. In April, 
he brought Goebbels to Munich, sending his own car to meet him at the railway 
station, and gave him a long private audience. Hitler berated Goebbels over his 
support for the "socialist" line, but offered to "wipe the slate clean" if 
Goebbels would now accept his leadership. Goebbels capitulated completely, 
offering Hitler his total loyalty — a pledge which was clearly sincere, and 
which he adhered to until the end of his life. "I love him… He has thought 
through everything," Goebbels wrote. "Such a sparkling mind can be my leader. I 
bow to the greater one, the political genius. Later he wrote: "Adolf Hitler, I 
love you because you are both great and simple at the same time. What one calls 
a genius."[17] Fest writes:

From this point on he submitted himself, his whole existence, to his 
attachment to the person of the Führer, consciously eliminating all inhibitions 
springing from intellect, free will and self-respect. Since this submission was 
an act less of faith than of insight, it stood firm through all vicissitudes to 
the end. `He who forsakes the Führer withers away,' he would later write.

[FairfieldLife] Quiet Time Meditation

[dhamiltony2k5]

Om, another beautiful hymn and strong message.


Young people all, attention give
And hear what I shall say;
I wish your souls with meditation to live
In everlasting day.

Remember you are hast'ning on
To death's dark gloomy shade;
Your joys on earth will soon be gone,
Your flesh in dust be laid.

Death's iron gate you must pass through
Ere long , my dear young friends;
With whom do you think to go?
With saints, or non-meditating fiends?

Will you pursue your dangerous ways?
Pray meditate before too late
Behold, a light before the gate
Most lovingly it doth shine.


Young people all I pray then view
The fountain open wide,
The spring of life, opened for sin,
Which flows the transcendent side;
There you may drink in endless joy,
And reign with the unified field your king
In glad notes your souls employ,
And hallelujahs sing.

Nablusoss,

That may be true, one way or the other.

Back in the 70's I was on a six month course w/MMY over in Europe along with 
Bevan.  Bevan was a kid coming up then.  Being given responsibililty more.  Was 
like being witness to young Joe Stalin rising.

At the end of the course as he was obviously destined towards greater things in 
the movement, a bunch of us went together and bought him a new suit to send him 
on with.  Several others left suits to him too as they rotated back home.  A 
change of guard right then.

I am enjoying these posts in this thread of Guy's.  Are a good job of catching 
the volitions of characters there inside.  Accounts for lot of the character of 
how it has gone.

Om, what the problem ewe people? U might can't believe that I might write, 
straight ahead?
As a meditator?

I said already what my interest was in whether people are writing as meditator, 
non-meditator, fallen-away, or quitters as our esteemed `yes=meditator' Nab 
would call them.  Look back in the messages real quick towards May 9th .  And 
come forward.  Is rather clear.  

Is rather innocently stated really all along through that thread as it went and 
then separated.  Does say a lot that folks could not believe or respond 
straight ahead in kind.   Turq got it bingo some while ago.  Dr. Pete more 
recently.   Status does say lot about people writing here.  

Would just be nice to know people's status as they write.  If people can admit 
they might be meditators and some who might admit that they may be, 
non-meditators.  Even quitters who have missed their possibility of a lifetime 
of practice.   It is a spectrum that has an experience to it all.  The log here 
is also that.  

Is showing cards so difficult?   I think Richard's recent post about the nature 
of boldness in culture now does has a truth, for now on the internet and 
certainly applies to FFL too.   Is about meditation here too and folks can 
(might) stand to what they are without jeopardizing the salon of what is FFL.   
Fear not for your salon, Rick.  It is very much about meditation here and 
whether people have come along as meditators or not, or fallen away in 
spiritual practice as such.  

Some lot of people do have decades of experience with it now here too.  That is 
very much their own experience with it.   Is very much about experience and 
also status as to whether people even meditate.  Context says a lot about 
people and what they are saying.  Obviously by the science alone a problem is 
with the non-meditatators however they come.  Even as quitters along the way.  
Is all part of the FFL satsang.

& you know, I might even be way more of a Conservative Meditator than you 
imagine.

Jai Guru Dev,

[FairfieldLife] Re: Photo of Mark Meredith

[lurkernomore20002000]

Mark and I grew up in the same town.  He was a little younger and came up a 
little behind me TMO wise.  His dad was a rather high ranking executive at 
Ralston Purina.  I think his parents had kind of hoped he would pursue a 
business career.  Same deal with Doug Rexford.  Kind of blew off his parents 
plans for him to excel in the business world.  His Dad had secured a decent job 
for him at McDonnell Douglss. which he pretty much blew off.  Now he's sitting 
up in Uttar Kashi.  Of course when he comes to town,  he seems pretty well 
grounded, and fun to be with.  Just some musings.

Subj: Please Support Adam  Kokesh


Dear Friends,

Adam Kokesh has been a tremendous supporter - of both me AND you! As a  
leader of Iraqi Veterans Against the War, Adam has spent years traveling the  
country to spread our message of peace, a strong national defense and limited 
 government. Adam has tremendous credibility because of his service in the  
United States Marine Corps and I have deep respect for his commitment to  
principle. 
And now, Adam Kokesh needs our support. 
Adam has formed an exploratory committee to run for Congress in his home  
state of New Mexico. Sending Adam Kokesh to Congress would be a tremendous  
victory for the Freedom Movement, and if we come together and stand behind  
him, he has a real chance to win. 
This race will be difficult, but I know Adam has the energy and drive to be 
 successful and pour every ounce of himself into this effort. I urge you to 
go  to _www.KokeshforCongress.com_ 
(http://cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?6P1K-3xrj-5f8T64)   and support him in anyway you 
feel comfortable. Whether it is 
making a  financial contribution, volunteering or getting more information 
share 
with  your friends and family, Adam needs your support now so he can start 
down this  long journey with momentum and a strong wind at his back. 
We have a chance to help a real patriot and lover of liberty join me in  
Washington. Again, I hope you will help me support Adam Kokesh for  Congress. 
In Liberty,

You are the typical fool that did not understand a word of what Maharishi said. 
And when someone tries to explain it, you turn it into a "pearls for swine" 
thingy. 

But don't worry; 90% of those that heard His message also did not grasp much

According to Nancy Pelosi, she wasn't told about
the EITs, but now she says she was told. But,
Nancy Pelosi didn't object, so she must have
approved. Now, years later, she says she didn't 
approve. Back then, she said nothing about the
CIA lying to Congress; yesterday she say they do 
it all the time. Today she says it wasn't the
CIA that lied to her, it was George W. Bush.

Anyone who lies to Congress is committing a 
federal crime. If you or anyone else has any 
evidence that the CIA lied to Congress or if 
you are accusing the CIA and other intelligence 
officials of lying to the Congress, then you 
should come forward with the evidence.

This could be changing. To have a degree in Vedic Science is already a very

[FairfieldLife] Pelosi's veracity backed up

[do.rflex]

The BushCo led CIA was NOT consistent or thorough, as they are required to be 
under the law, in who and to what extent they briefed Congress on the use of 
torture on detainees.

SEE - Andrea Mitchell's interview with Sen. Wyden of the Senate Select 
Committee on Intelligence 

CIA Failed to Keep Congress in the Loop on Torture:  
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eJS-uySyOw


AND

~~~ Nancy Pelosi, Porter Goss and Bob Graham briefed by the CIA in September 
2002 ~~~


Pelosi says the only time waterboarding was mentioned was when the CIA said it 
was not being used, and that she was not informed that Abu Zubaydah had been 
waterboarded.

http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-pelosi-torture15-2009may15,0,2174313.story


Goss "refutes" Pelosi by saying that he was "slack jawed" to read Pelosi's 
claim that "waterboarding" was never mentioned (she didn't), or that the CIA 
didn't imply that the technique would "actually be employed." He specifically 
never says that they were told Zubaydah had already been waterboarded.


Bob Graham's notes indicate the CIA just made up two briefings that never 
occurred.

http://theplumline.whorunsgov.com/torture/bob-graham-i-wasnt-told-about-waterboarding-or-eits-in-my-briefing/


Bob Graham also says that when he was briefed, there were staff members 
present, and procedure dictates that they would not have been anyone there but 
"authorized personnel" if "sensitive programs" such as waterboarding were being 
discussed.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/05/14/graham-cia-gave-me-false_n_203683.html


So, Pelosi's not the only one who refutes the CIA's claims -- both Porter Goss 
and Bob Graham back her up.

The right-wing demagogues on their fainting couches seem to be unfamiliar with 
the case of Richard Helms, the CIA intelligence officer convicted of lying to 
congress in 1977. http://www.charlierose.com/guest/view/3955

A definition, Peter, of meditation does not, 
strictly thinking, address the purpose of 
meditation, which would require a material 
statement. A rigorous definition must withstand 
all exceptions.

Yes, but Marshy wasn't able to define 'TM'. He
said it was based on thinking, so it must be
'thinking things over', right? So, don't you
'think your mantra' - that's thinking about
something, right? Don't you 'think over' your 
mantra? How would you think the mantra if you
don't think the mantra?

A generation is usually thought of as 30 years, no ? 

Maharishi was reffering to Maitreya and the Masters that are incarnating during 
these times. 
Maitreya created a Mahavirupta body in His abode in the Himalayas and travelled 
to London in 1977, two years after Maharishi declared the Age of Enlightenment. 
The rest are on their way. So far 12, according to my information out of 36 
Masters have incarnated. 
Those that are already here is the historical Jesus of Nazareth living in Italy 
and the great soul we know as Madame Blawatsky who is now a young man living in 
St. Petersburg.

One of the most senior amongst the Masters, and among the most highly evolved 
is our Master; Guru Dev, Brahmananda Saraswathi. According to my information He 
is not yet in incarnation at the present time.

ahh...thanks, i had forgotten why Turqy took this upon himself, and obviously 
(now) why he snipped it. Edg nailed Turqy's inability to experience love with 
fucking, and geez Turg just freaked! and especially after Edg established his 
bona fides previously with his lovely erotic poetry. 

hmmm, i wonder how Turqy will respond to rd's limerick about him??

Pretty funny coming from someone who's sole role on this list is to be a 
malicious troll and instigator. I was actually responding to Empty Bill's 
almost continuously arrogant and trollish posts. If you don't get that, I 
suspect the reason is you are just another angry and biased TM person. This

Thanks for adding nothing to the conversation Dawn. Gosh you're good at that!

Yes, it was very gradual. He had come close to dying several weeks before

I don't see WolframAlpha as any challenge at all to Google. It's a niche search

searches I tend to make, WA is completely useless. I think these articles about 
WA are long on hype and short on reality.

Especially when they say, in effect, "To show you
what a likable guy I am, I'm going to bash your
teeth in." I mean, how obvious can you get that
you're desperately trying to prove you're likable?

Just for fun, let's look again at the *context* in
which Edg said he was "really really really a likable
guy" (which Barry, of course, snipped so he could
pretend Edg intended his assertion to be taken
seriously:

He constantly misses the irony boat, however. Edg's
"really really really a likeable guy" snarl, followed
by yet another hilarious smackdown of Barry, went right
over his head. "Desperate to prove otherwise" my foot.

Plus which, I wish I had a dime for every time Barry
has prefaced some nasty attack by claiming he's just
doing it out of compassion.

Why would that be? TM in a group of current and former TM practitioners refers 
to a particular meditation technique taught by MMY. Why would a definition of 
"TM" be all inclusive? What does that even mean? If a definition is all 
inclusive it makes no distinctions and is therefore meaningless. I truly don't

Geez, not even close! "You suck", keep your day job, etc. I bet you get called 
"clueless" a lot!

I'm from the Nath lineage, which is from India (a different country) and I am 
authorized as a lineholder in that tradition.

A definition of 'TM' or 'meditation' would

I've listed several exceptions below. Marshy
says that TM is based on thinking and that 
it's a purely mechanical technique.

Why don't you post a definition of 'TM', 
Doctor?  

Another question:

How do the 'spirits' get into the machine?

There are lots of 'spirits' to commune with
in nature, Doug. TM isn't the only spiritual 
path. I know many people who don't use a 
mantra  - some use the Sound of Nature to 
meditate on. 

Everyone on the planet meditates - 
meditation simply means to 'think things 
over'. And everyone is all the time 
'transcending', even without a special 
mantra technique. 

But in fact, there's really no such thing 
as 'TM' - that's just an copyrighted acronym 
made up by the Marshy. 

Anytime a person thinks something, they are 
meditating - be it playing a musical 
instrument, singing, swimming, running or 
jumping or just enjoying nature.

So, I would assume that everyone posting 
here is a 'meditator' of some kind, and I 
would assume that everyone who posts here 
is 'spiritual' to a certain degree.

It's a guy thing. 

Which you might not know about, given your
propensity to claim you're a woman. 

But, be it in a bar, a dojo, a locker room
or an ashram, it's pretty much an inviolable
rule of thumb that any guy who feels the need
to say "I'm really really really a likable 
guy" isn't.

[FairfieldLife] Re: MUM Master's in Vedic Sciences

[enlightened_dawn11]

hey enpai, my advice since you asked would be to keep your spiritual leanings 
separate from your job aspirations. except for a long shot as an adjunct to 
going into the healing arts (read: not guaranteed a stable income) or 
linguistics (read: college teaching), the vedic science degree, or any 
metaphysically oriented degree from any school is not going to make you more 
desirable in the job market. probably less so, actually.

having said that, you may want to just continue your meditation practice, 
whatever it is, and allow that to strengthen your ability to manifest your 
desires. Save the degree in spiritual stuff for retirement.

Bush and Cheney didn't break any laws, you moron,
and they didn't torture anyone. What is important
is that the interrogations worked and saved lives.

You can compile every reasoned criticism of the Bush 
administration's conduct of the war against terrorism 
and there is one undisputable fact: In over five 
years since the 9-11 catastrophe, the United States 
has not been attacked again.

Apparently, Nancy Pelosi approved of the 'torture',
since she didn't object to it. If she broke the law
she would be a co-conspirator, along with all the
other congressional leaders who were on the same
intelligence committee. 

"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was briefed on the use 
of "enhanced interrogation techniques" on terrorist 
suspect Abu Zubaydah in September 2002, according 
to a report prepared by the Director of National 
Intelligence's office and obtained by ABC News..."

There's no evidence that the CIA lied to any
members of congress. But there is ample proof
that politicians lie all the time just in the 
course of giving a public press conference. It's
pretty obvious that Nancy Pelosi is lying - she
knew all about EITs since 2003 and she obviously
approved of them, otherwise she would have 
objected to their use. 

"But questions remain about why she did not raise 
objections to the interrogation methods at the 
time. If her goal today was to clarify the 
situation, she failed..."

I would suspect the only place you'd be able to get a job is at MUM  
or some movement place. Any other university, hearing the bizarre  
teachings on "Vedic Science" from the Maharishi would probably laugh  
you out of the room. What the university teaches is the syncretic  
dogma of the Maharishi, not something that is mainstream or cutting  
edge and certainly not historically accurate. Basically they're  
teaching a Vedic fundamentalism which is not only inaccurate but  
laughable as a degree. In other words, your job prospects would be  
slim and grim indeed.


University of Virginia, Columbia and Harvard have excellent programs,  
as do a number of others. Get a degree from any of the three

According to a letter circulating MUM is 2 million in the hole. So

the validity of the information. Most voted 
for the war.

But when the war became unpopular they 
turned and claimed they had been misled by 
Bush. This was all a lie and political

I think this is the same guy who also claimed to be a disciple of Hitler in a

One things for certain, he really should repeat the ngondro (if he has ever

seriously doubt he's Dzogchen material.

[FairfieldLife] 'Obama, Clinton & Gates meet w/Netanyahu today'

[Robert]

 In addition to meeting Obama, Netanyahu is also scheduled to meet with 
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Defense Secretary Robert Gates, House 
Speaker ...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8055105.stm
 
 King of Jordan's Suggestion:

 





var csvSymbolIds = "";
var quoteLink = "true";






SWEIMEH, Jordan,   - Jordan's King Abdullah used a speech at an economic forum 
on Friday to push the idea of expanding an Arab initiative for peace with 
Israel to include the entire Muslim world.

The U.S.-allied king told the Times of London this week that U.S. President 
Barack Obama wanted to promote a peace plan involving all Muslim countries and 
not just Arab nations.

Obama is due to address the region in a speech in Cairo next month and foreign 
ministers of the 57-nation Organisation of the Islamic Conference are due to 
meet in Syria on May 23.

Israel's new government under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has resisted 
international pressure to commit to the idea of establishing a Palestinian 
state alongside Israel on territories it seized in 1967. 

An Arab peace initiative, backed by leading U.S. allies such as Saudi Arabia, 
Egypt and Jordan, offers Israel normal relations with the 22 countries of the 
Arab League in return for returning lands to Lebanon, Syria and the 
Palestinians. 

Israel has reacted coldly to the plan, citing concerns over the return of 
Palestinian refugees. Palestinians this week have commemorated the fighting in 
1948 that caused at least 700,000 Palestinians to lose their homes in territory 
that is now part of Israel. Israel sees the fighting as its war of independence.

"The Arab peace initiative has offered Israel a place in the neighbourhood and 
more -- acceptance by 57 nations, the one-third of the U.N. members that do not 
recognise Israel," King Abdullah told a World Economic Forum meeting in Jordan.

"This is true security -- security that barriers and armed forces cannot 
bring," he said. 

Among Arab states, only Egypt, Jordan and Mauritania have diplomatic relations 
with Israel. Most Muslim countries avoid political, economic ties and even 
diplomatic ties. 

The Jordanian monarch, who met Obama in Washington last month, said Obama was 
committed to seeing a Palestinian state.

"I was encouraged by the president's commitment to the two-state solution," he 
said. "I was encouraged that in all my conversations in Washington, it was 
clear that people know -- inaction is not an option." 

The historic conflict is seen by many analysts as a major factor that has held 
back economic development in some parts of the Arab world for decades and a key 
factor driving militancy. (Writing by Andrew Hammond; Editing by Dominic Evans)

 Obama Can’t Turn the Page on 'W'

Published: May 16, 2009 

TO paraphrase Al Pacino in “Godfather III,” just when we thought we were out, 
the Bush mob keeps pulling us back in. And will keep doing so. No matter how 
hard President Obama tries to turn the page on the previous administration, he 
can’t. Until there is true transparency and true accountability, revelations of 
that unresolved eight-year nightmare will keep raining down drip by drip,

That’s why the president’s flip-flop on the release of detainee abuse photos — 
whatever his motivation — is a fool’s errand. The pictures will eventually 
emerge anyway, either because of leaks (if they haven’t started already) or 
because the federal appeals court decision upholding their release remains in 
force. And here’s a bet: These images will not prove the most shocking evidence 
of Bush administration sins still to come. 
There are many dots yet to be connected, and not just on torture. This Sunday, 
GQ magazine is posting on its Web site an article adding new details to the 
ample dossier on how Donald Rumsfeld’s corrupt and incompetent Defense 
Department cost American lives and compromised national security. The piece is 
not the work of a partisan but the Texan journalist Robert Draper, author of 
“Dead Certain,” the 2007 Bush biography that had the blessing (and cooperation) 
of the former president and his top brass. It draws on interviews with more 
than a dozen high-level Bush loyalists.
Draper reports that Rumsfeld’s monomaniacal determination to protect his 
Pentagon turf led him to hobble and antagonize America’s most willing allies in 
Iraq, Britain and Australia, and even to undermine his own soldiers. But 
Draper’s biggest find is a collection of daily cover sheets that Rumsfeld 
approved for the Secretary of Defense Worldwide Intelligence Update, a highly 
classified digest prepared for a tiny audience, including the president, and 
often delivered by hand to the White House by the defense secretary himself. 
These cover sheets greeted Bush each day with triumphal color photos of the war 
headlined by biblical quotations. GQ is posting 11 of them, and they are 
seriously creepy.
Take the one dated April 3, 2003, two weeks into the invasion, just as Shock 
and Awe hit its first potholes. Two days earlier, on April 1, a panicky 
Pentagon had begun spreading its hyped, fictional account of the rescue of Pvt. 
Jessica Lynch to distract from troubling news of setbacks. On April 2, Gen. 
Joseph Hoar, the commander in chief of the United States Central Command from 
1991-94, had declared on the Times Op-Ed page that Rumsfeld had sent too few 
troops to Iraq. And so the Worldwide Intelligence Update for April 3 bullied 
Bush with Joshua 1:9: “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do 
not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you 
wherever you go.” (Including, as it happened, into a quagmire.) 
What’s up with that? As Draper writes, Rumsfeld is not known for ostentatious 
displays of piety. He was cynically playing the religious angle to seduce and 
manipulate a president who frequently quoted the Bible. But the secretary’s 
actions were not just oily; he was also taking a risk with national security. 
If these official daily collages of Crusade-like messaging and war imagery had 
been leaked, they would have reinforced the Muslim world’s apocalyptic fear 
that America was waging a religious war. As one alarmed Pentagon hand told 
Draper, the fallout “would be as bad as Abu Ghraib.”
The GQ article isn’t the only revelation of previously unknown Bush Defense 
Department misbehavior to emerge this month. Just two weeks ago, the Obama 
Pentagon revealed that a major cover-up of corruption had taken place at the 
Bush Pentagon on Jan. 14 of this year — just six days before Bush left office. 
This strange incident — reported in The Times but largely ignored by Washington 
correspondents preparing for their annual dinner — deserves far more attention 
and follow-up.
What happened on Jan. 14 was the release of a report from the Pentagon’s 
internal watchdog, the inspector general. It had been ordered up in response to 
a scandal uncovered last year by David Barstow, an investigative reporter for 
The Times. Barstow had found that the Bush Pentagon fielded a clandestine 
network of retired military officers and defense officials to spread 
administration talking points on television, radio and in print while posing as 
objective “military analysts.” Many of these propagandists worked for military 
contractors with billions of dollars of business at stake in Pentagon 
procurement. Many were recipients of junkets and high-level spec

[FairfieldLife] The Mythos of Consciousness

[Robert]

The Mythos of Consciousness
"The question to ask of Myth is not 'Is it real?' but rather 'Does it work?'"
~Joseph Campbell


Myth is the reality of the Soul, just as History is the reality of the 
day-to-day linear world. Mythos is the topography, or cosmology, of the Soul. 
The terrain of our Soul is determined by our dreams and aspirations, trials and 
triumphs being played out upon the fields of consciousness.

We humans have three primary mythologies by which we live.

The Family of Origin Paradigm is that we are who we are and act as we act 
because of our cultural orientation, the imprinting received from our families 
and the psychological responses we have acquired in reaction to the love, 
encouragement, tragedies and traumas of our life. These factors, being woven 
into the fabric of our inherent genetic make-up, create the expression of who 
we, as individuals, are in our own unique life, emotions, beliefs and 
worldviews. This mythic perspective is the agreement we accept when we enter 
therapy or engage in self-awareness programs. We seek to alter our behavior 
through making changes in our emotional response systems by coming to an 
understanding of why we act and feel the way we do.

The Biochemical Paradigm states that our actions and behaviors, our states of 
consciousness, are predetermined by the degree of proper chemical balances 
within our brain, endocrine system and organs. Our behaviors and emotional 
states and thoughts can be affected through the introduction of the necessary 
chemicals into the organism, chemicals which will promote balance mentally, 
physically and emotionally. Within this mythology we find modern drug therapy, 
utilizing antidepressants, mood elevators, antibiotics, painkillers and 
antacids. Also under the umbrella of the Biochemical Paradigm are the intake of 
vitamins, hormone replacements, and the whole panoply of supplements we ingest 
to create a more healthy state of being. This arena includes nutritional 
therapy, herbal remedies and health-conscious eating.

The Spiritual Paradigm suggests that we, as spiritual beings, are Spirit in 
manifest form and that the experiences of our lives are a synchronistic 
expression of congruent spiritual intent. In this spiritual mythology we are 
considered to be a part of a greater whole that is seeking the maintenance of 
harmony and balance through our ever-expanding awareness of choice.

Biochemical alterations of psycho-physiological states of consciousness do not 
stand separate from the spiritual, however, nor can purely psychological states 
be divorced from a healthy spiritual attunement. In this vein, 
self-administered psychotropics, such as caffeine, nicotine, hallucinogens or 
opiates are attempts to recreate an experience of integration with a greater 
whole, the abuse of these being a spiritual quest gone awry. And we know that 
the development of an integrated emotional and mental outlook will promote a 
healthy spiritual outlook in life as well as a healthier immune system.

The basis of Shamanism arises from a deep ecology of Spirit providing a unique 
synthesis of these three paradigms, partaking of each, the psychological, 
biochemical and spiritual, in a measured and appropriate balance responsive to 
the requirement of the individual's or situation's need. The Shamanic paradigm 
is free of the dogma and doctrine that is observed in the stand-alone position 
held by the institutionalized viewpoint that comes from over-investment in a 
particular worldview. Shamanism's approach acknowledges that the integrity of 
the whole being is a multidimensional dance that is an ever changing dynamic 
emanating from the spiritual through the psycho-physiological experience.

The Shamanic approach perceives the spiritual functions that underlie, as a 
basis, all resultant mental, emotional and physical states of being. In order 
to most fully comprehend the meaning of the term 'spiritual' requires that we 
investigate its significance in Shamanic mythology. In order for this to be 
accomplished an investigation into the supportive phenomena and principles of 
Shamanic reality are called for.

Life Force, in its concentrated and highly charged state, is what we refer to 
Shamanically as Power. The operative principles of Power specify that when 
there are two fields of Life Force the one that has the lesser intensity of 
charge will flow towards the field with a greater dynamic charge, or intensity. 
A secondary feature of Power is that it flows along the path of Attention. When 
Attention is aligned with Intent, Power flows along the path of Attention and 
makes manifest that Intent. Thirdly, a field of Life Force resonates with the 
frequencies that it intercepts. The greater the intensity/charge the field 
carries, the more pronounced is the resonate response. The application of these 
underlying principles is the basis of effective manifestation, or prayer.

Spirit requires an embodied presence of Power to

The service can compute the distance between two cities, the population of a

WolframAlpha: move over Google? 


Google’s search for crisis solution 




The new service, available at wolframalpha.com, was previewed several months 
ago amid industry speculation that it could be a “Google killer”. Dr Wolfram, 
however, is at pains to point out that his brainchild is a “computational 
knowledge engine”, not a traditional search engine. 
A physics prodigy who earned a PhD aged 20, Dr Wolfram, 49, founded Wolfram 
Research, in Illinois, which develops advanced software called Mathematica, 
used mainly by scientists. Mathematica has built up a number of databases and 
Wolfram Alpha is an attempt to bring them to a wider audience. 
The service is free but the company plans to include advertising eventually and 
to offer paid versions with extra features. Dr Wolfram said that WolframAlpha 
was a “long-term project” and he hoped to broaden the databases that it uses. 
Danny Sullivan, editor-in-chief of Search Engine Land, the website, said: 
“They're saying they're not trying to wipe out Google, but they feel they do 
the kinds of searches that Google doesn't handle. If you're trying to get 
facts, this might be a handy kind of encyclopedia for you.” 
Last week Google previewed a new experimental service called Google Squared, 
which will automatically produce spreadsheets of information from search terms.

[FairfieldLife] Re: New to this group?

[enpai]

Over recent years I personally attest to a stronger awareness of my heart 
energy, and not having fear in my life.  Inexplicably I have resumed TM again 
after a long, long unexplainable lapse.  Each of us is at a different place, 
and have to do what ever it is for where one is.  I am extremely grateful for 
all those who were instrumental in bringing about the shift in global 
consciousness that we are beginning in.  And also happy for the participation 
of some of these people who are on this board.  Yes, a lot of morass to sort 
through, but obviously a great deal of clarity rings through too.

U.S. Has Plan to Secure Pakistan Nukes if Country Falls to Taliban
American intelligence sources say the military's chief terrorist-hunting squad 
has units operating in Afghanistan on Pakistan's western border and is working 
on a secondary mission to secure foreign nuclear arsenals if the Taliban or Al 
Qaeda overwhelm Pakistan.

The United States has a detailed plan for infiltrating Pakistan and securing 
its mobile arsenal of nuclear warheads if it appears the country is about to 
fall under the control of the Taliban, Al Qaeda or other Islamic extremists.
American intelligence sources say the operation would be conducted by Joint 
Special Operations Command, the super-secret commando unit headquartered at 
Fort Bragg, N.C.
JSOC is the military's chief terrorists hunting squad and has units now 
operating in Afghanistan on Pakistan's western border. But a secondary mission 
is to secure foreign nuclear arsenals -- a role for which JSOC operatives have 
trained in Nevada.
The mission has taken on added importance in recent months, as Islamic 
extremists have taken territory close to the capital of Islamabad and could 
destabilize Pakistan's shaky democracy.
"We have plans to secure them ourselves if things get out of hand," said a U.S. 
intelligence source who has deployed to Afghanistan. "That is a big secondary 
mission for JSOC in Afghanistan."
The source said JSOC has been updating its mission plan for the day President 
Obama gives the order to infiltrate Pakistan.
"Small units could seize them, disable them and then centralize them in a 
secure location," the source said.
A secret Defense Intelligence Agency document first disclosed in 2004 said 
Pakistan has a nuclear arsenal of 35 weapons. The document said it plans to 
more than double the arsenal by 2020.
A Pakistani official said the U.S. and his country have had an understanding 
that if either Usama bin Laden, or his deputy, Ayman Zawahiri, is located, 
American troops and air strikes may be used inside borders to capture or kill 
them.
What makes the Pakistan mission especially difficult is that the military has 
its missiles on Soviet-style mobile launchers and rail lines. U.S. intelligence 
agencies, using satellite photos and communication intercepts, is constantly 
monitoring their whereabouts. Other warheads are kept in storage. U.S. 
technical experts have visited Pakistan to advise the government on how to 
maintain and protect its arsenal.
Also, there are rogue elements inside Pakistan's military and intelligence 
service who could quickly side with the extremists and make JSOC's mission all 
the more difficult.
"It's relatively easy to track rail-mounted ones with satellites," said the 
intelligence source. "Truck- mounted are more difficult. However, they are all 
relatively close to the capital in areas that the government firmly controls so 
we don't have to look too far."
JSOC is made up of three main elements: Army Delta Force, Navy SEALs and a 
high-tech special intelligence unit known as Task Force Orange. JSOC was 
instrumental in Iraq in finding and killing Abu Musab Zarqawi, the deadly and 
most prominent Al Qaeda leader in the Middle East.
There is speculation in the intelligence community that a secondary reason for 
Army Lt. Gen. Stanley McChrystal being named the next commander in Afghanistan 
is that he headed JSOC in 2006-08 and is read-in on its contingency missions in 
Pakistan.
Adm. Michael Mullen, Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman, this month said that based 
on the information he has seen Pakistan's nuclear warheads are safe.
"I remain comfortable that the nuclear weapons in Pakistan are secure, that the 
Pakistani leadership and in particular the military is very focused on this," 
he said. "We the United States have invested fairly significantly over the last 
three years, to work with them, to improve that security. And we're satisfied, 
very satisfied with that progress. We will continue to do that. And we all 
recognize obviously the worst downside of -- with respect to Pakistan is that 
those nuclear weapons come under the control of terrorists. "

Subterranean Homesick Blues

 
 
Johnny's in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement
Thinking about the government
The man in the trench coat
Badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
Look out kid
It's somethin' you did
God knows when
But you're doin' it again
You better duck down the alley way
Lookin' for a new friend
The man in the coon-skin cap
In the big pen
Wants eleven dollar bills
You only got ten
Maggie comes fleet foot
Face full of black soot
Talkin' that the heat put
Plants in the bed but
The phone's tapped anyway
Maggie says that many say
They must bust in early May
Orders from the D. A.
Look out kid
Don't matter what you did
Walk on your tip toes
Don't try "No Doz"
Better stay away from those
That carry around a fire hose
Keep a clean nose
Watch the plain clothes
You don't need a weather man
To know which way the wind blows
Get sick, get well
Hang around a ink well
Ring bell, hard to tell
If anything is goin' to sell
Try hard, get barred
Get back, write braille
Get jailed, jump bail
Join the army, if you fail
Look out kid
You're gonna get hit
But users, cheaters
Six-time losers
Hang around the theaters
Girl by the whirlpool
Lookin' for a new fool
Don't follow leaders
Watch the parkin' meters
Ah get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance, learn to dance
Get dressed, get blessed
Try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts
Don't steal, don't lift
Twenty years of schoolin'
And they put you on the day shift
Look out kid
They keep it all hid
Better jump down a manhole
Light yourself a candle
Don't wear sandals
Try to avoid the scandals
Don't wanna be a bum
You better chew gum
The pump don't work
'Cause the vandals took the handles
