[FairfieldLife] Poking The Badger -- a manual for beginners
For those interested in learning the technique that Raunchydog has referred to recently -- Poking The Badger -- I pass along the following. It is a list of instructions gleaned from the vedic literature, in particular the GottaGetoff Sutra. Be warned, because it is said right in that sutra that this practice and other related practices of TM (Toxic Masturbation) are very powerful, and can possibly lead the spiritual aspirant astray, into the realms of madness and obsession. Practiced properly, however, Poking The Badger and other forms of Toxic Masturbation can result in the achievement the state of CC (Cosmic Cuntitude) within a short five to eight year period. 1. First prepare your environment. On your puja table place your laptop (connected to the Internet, of course) and your TM Helper device. (Make sure that the Toxic Masturbation Helper's batteries are fully charged, or your Poking The Badger exper- ience may not be as satisfying as it should be.) 2. Log in to your favorite location for practicing Toxic Masturbation in public, such as a spiritual chat forum or a political forum on which some posters have failed to bow down properly to you or to Saint Hillary. 3. Fire up your TM Helper. That 'BZZ' sound you hear is the sound of the Cosmic OM, allowing you to find a resonance with Cosmic Goddessitudeness. Apply the TM Helper as directed on the label. 4. Next, pick a victim for your Poking The Badger session. It need not be a spit man; it could just as easily be a woman who has failed to bow down to you in the past. The only essential thing is that the victim has to have written you off as a bad bet and have a track record of NEVER responding to any of your brilliant arguments as if they were really brilliant, or worth dealing with at all. This is important, because if you pick someone who actually treats you as if *anything* you could ever say could possibly be worth arguing about, steps 5 through 7 below won't work properly. 5. With your TM Helper switched on and firmly in place, write a stinging post calling the victim on his or her sexism and Send it off. In the post, be sure to include another fantasy argument that means nothing to anyone in the world except your- self, that the victim is supposed to respond to or refute in some way. 6. Sit back and wait for the victim to fail to respond. This may take the form of ignoring you completely, of laughing at you, or of pointing out that the thing he or she is supposed to respond to is ridiculous and not worth wasting time on, or that YOU are ridiculous and not worth wasting time on. In the study of Toxic Masturbation, this is what we call foreplay. 7. When the victim has thus set him- or herself up for what we call nailing, deliver the pièce de résistance and nail them. Turn your TM Helper up a couple of notches and type: HA! Gotcha! You failed to respond to my brilliant made-up argument. I win!!! You have *proved* yourself to be sexist! and press Send. 8. At this point, for most Toxic Masturbation prac- titioners the objective of Poking The Badger is achieved and they can sit back and share a ciga- rette with their TM Helper. But if it doesn't work the first time, just repeat step #7 several more times, saying the same thing over and over until you reach the state of cumadhi. 9. Practice as necessary until you attain CC.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Quantum Theory of Reality
This is what is known as pseudo science. It is filled with explanatory concepts that have no empirical grounding and for the most part not open to any empirical validation. Its how people not familiar with science think. It very similar to medieval philosophy filled with homunculi and God's love. Silly stuff primarily because the explanatory models are never open for empirical validation. Any physicist working in quantum mechanics recognizes that no matter how unusual sounding their model, it ultimately needs to be open to empirical validation. --- On Thu, 7/23/09, John jr_...@yahoo.com wrote: From: John jr_...@yahoo.com Subject: [FairfieldLife] Quantum Theory of Reality To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Date: Thursday, July 23, 2009, 5:03 PM To All: After attempting to understanding the current scientific ideas relating to the quantum world, it appears that MMY's ideas about the basis of consciousness are just as valid and could be used as the standard model to describe the behaviour of the quantum phenomena. MMY has stated that the potential of consciousness can be understood in his triune relationship of the Rishi--Devata--Chandas. Rishi is the observer, Devata is the process of observing, and Chandas is the observed. In other words, the potential of consciousness is a dynamic whole until it manifests into reality, or Chandas. Similarly, physicists have observed that the atom contains all of the potential of what it will do in the real world. It can go forward and backward in time. It can also be in the local area of existence or be outside it, meaning that the atom can operate anywhere in the universe. In other words, it is through the atom and its particle components that the manifestations of consciousness occur. From scientific tests, physicists have found that the behaviour of the atom and particles in it are affected or influenced when it is observed or measured. In common parlance, it would mean that our thoughts influence the behaviour of the atom. Consequently, it affects our physical existence. In other words the atom is the ultimate nano-bot. It is a machine that carries out its function relying on the commands of consciousness. So, the old WYSZWYG acronym applies, what you see is what you get. As such, if one maintains a garbage thought, he or she gets garbage out. Conversely, a pleasant thought can automatically benefit our physical reality, such as our own physical body.

But if it doesn't work the first time, just repeat step #7 several more times, saying the same thing over and over until you reach the state of cumadhi. 9. Practice as necessary until you attain CC.

If there's a large-scale hog operation in this area, we're certainly not smelling it down here on 155th street, directly south of the greenhouses. Alex, how do you like the big pig's attire? The people who live on that property love their pig. They dress it up in seasonal costumes. It has appeared as the Easter Bunny, a Halloween witch, and Santa. They should dress it as a pork chop. Now, that would be funny. Anyway it's one of the more interesting things to see driving north on HWY 1. I don't get any whiff of hog confinement when I drive by there.

Now if you could just be as honest about your real feel- ings for Hillary, I think we'd ALL have more respect for you. You might have a better chance with her, too. I hear she hates closet types. Honesty *IS* the key, Raunchy. The more open you are about your real motivations, the more people will respect you for them.

See my point, Raunch? It's like I've explained to Nabby today. We have *no problem* with his unrequited love for Bevan, when presented *as* unrequited love. It's when he feels the need to dress it up as bhakti that we all suspect that he's being less than honest. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, TurquoiseB no_reply@ wrote: For those interested in learning the technique that Raunchydog has referred to recently -- Poking The Badger -- I pass along the following. It is a list of instructions gleaned from the vedic literature, in particular the GottaGetoff Sutra. Be warned, because it is said right in that sutra that this practice and other related practices of TM (Toxic Masturbation) are very powerful, and can possibly lead the spiritual aspirant astray, into the realms of madness and obsession. Practiced properly, however, Poking The Badger and other forms of Toxic Masturbation can result in the achievement the state of CC (Cosmic Cuntitude) within a short five to eight year period. 1. First prepare your environment. On your puja table place your laptop (connected to the Internet, of course) and your TM Helper device. (Make sure that the Toxic Masturbation Helper's batteries are fully charged, or your Poking The Badger exper- ience may not be as satisfying as it should be.) 2. Log in to your favorite location for practicing Toxic Masturbation in public, such as a spiritual chat forum or a political forum on which some posters have failed to bow down properly to you or to Saint Hillary. 3. Fire up your TM Helper. That 'BZZ' sound you hear is the sound of the Cosmic OM, allowing you to find a resonance with Cosmic Goddessitudeness. Apply the TM Helper as directed on the label. 4. Next, pick a victim for your Poking The Badger session. It need not be a spit man; it could just as easily be a woman who has failed to bow down to you in the past. The only essential thing is that the victim has to have written you off as a bad bet and have a track record of NEVER responding to any of your brilliant arguments as if they were really brilliant, or worth dealing with at all. This is important, because if you pick someone who actually treats you as if *anything* you could ever say could possibly be worth arguing about, steps 5 through 7 below won't work properly. Gee, Barry must think I'm really important, so important that he wants to spend time bowing down to me in this post. 5. With your TM Helper switched on and firmly in place, write a stinging post calling the victim on his or her sexism and Send it off. In the post, be sure to include another fantasy argument that means nothing to anyone in the world except your- self, that the victim is supposed to respond to or refute in some way. 6. Sit back and wait for the victim to fail to respond. This may take the form of ignoring you completely, of laughing at you, or of pointing out that the thing he or she is supposed to respond to is ridiculous and not worth wasting time

[FairfieldLife] Re: Quantum Theory of Reality
---thx, the potential of the atom pertains to relative causes, even if we can't trace all of the steps in a chain of causation. The potential of pure Consciousness is different type of usage of the term and doesn't apply to participation in the world of causes and effects. If various What-the-Bleep New Agers (including the likes of Hagelin) are claiming that realization of the Unified Field of pure Consciousness leads to extraordinary results in the real world; look again at the record. History tends to point a direct connection between SHAKTI levels and the attainment of Siddhis; irrspective of one's realization the Self. (the Self doesn't participate in causations, but Shakti does);...so logic would tell us those with the greatest storehouse of Shakti would possess the most power Siddhis. Examples: Guru Dev, Sri Aurubindo; and various other Divine Mother Devotees such as Ramakrishna were known to exhibit genuine Sidhis, and a logical conclusion (imo) is that their storeshouse of Shakti made the Siddhis possible. MMY's anti-religious stance may have through some of the baby (Shakti) out with the bathwater; since although MMY's Yagya program generates Shakti, he and current TMO followers give no outward credit to the power of Shakti.(claiming it's all The Unified Field).

[FairfieldLife] Re: Quantum Theory of Reality
Peter, It appears that MMY knew that his idea relating to the trinal components of consciousness cannot be tested in scientific empirical tests. He was a physicist. In science, there is a level of matter that cannot be measured due to its minute size, the Heisenberg principle (as far as I can remember). At the present state of technology, scientists do not have the capability to measure these minute levels of existence. Like MMY, scientists often used thought experiments to test their ideas. These scientists included Einstein, Bohr and Schroedinger. There is a school of thought among physicists which favor the role of consciousness in the quantum world. From my understanding, Hagelin seems to be pushing the consciousness factor (MMY's ideas) into the understanding of the quantum. Nonetheless, the Hadron Collider in Switzerland is supposed to answer much of the speculation regarding the missing particles, including one theoretical boson. If they find this particle, then the physicists should be able to formulate the Grand Unification Theory. As a side note, Hawking, a famous physicists from England, placed a bet that the scientists will not find the theoretical particles, but would find other discoveries that would befuddle the theoreticians even more. Until such time, the jury is still out in making any pronouncement regarding the validity of MMY's idea. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Peter drpetersutp...@... wrote: This is what is known as pseudo science.

That is, if you've watched the things that Judy believes in firmly, many of them have the same quality -- they were told to her by someone to whom she granted authority status, so she just accepted what they said without ever questioning it for a moment. If you call her on this she'll deny it, of course, but I think anyone who has watched her posts for some years will agree. To win her compulsive arguments, she almost always falls back on citing some authority. The thing is, now that she's old and approaching death, what she seems to want most is to be per- ceived as having authority status HERSELF. She wants others to hear the things that she says and immediately accept them as Truth, the way *she* did with what Maharishi said and what the intiators said, and as she does still with the news sources *she* considers authoritative. ( Remember, we're talking about someone who is willing to call a film director a Christian bigot based *only* on what one of her chosen authorities said, without ever having seen the movie herself. I rest my case. ) And she finds it tremendously frustrating when that doesn't happen when *she* speaks, and people treat her as nothing more than one more voice in the crowd, someone whose pronouncements and claims of truth have no more validity or value or truth in them than anyone else's. What else can explain the levels of frustration we see in her when someone *doesn't* accept what she says as true just because she said it? She sees this, and believes ( because she's...uh... a little crazy ) that it must be because someone has LIED about her, so she freaks out and attacks the person or persons she believes have somehow sabotaged her divine credibility. The thing is, the whole *reasoning* is bent. Sane people just don't automatically believe what some- one else says. Stupid people and cultists do that. Having been one for so many decades, she must have come to believe that *everyone* is like her, and that if she just corrects enough of these lies that have been told about her, they'll react to her the way that *she* reacted to the people *she* believed just because they said something. I really think this is the issue. As someone here pointed out not long ago, Maharishi's instructions to many TM teachers was that they should give the impression of never having been wrong, and never admit to have made a mistake of any kind. That is the act that Judy *bought* for so many decades, and so she somehow believes that if she runs this same act herself that people will buy *her* auth- ority the way she bought the authority of the TM teachers who ran this number on her. Of course, all of this may just be rationalization on my part, and not be why she acts the way she acts at all. The truth may be much simpler -- she may actually be crazier than many of us think, and this inability to ever admit having been wrong may just be normal, everyday megalomania. :-)
[FairfieldLife] Racial profiling and the Gates case
Here is what is confusing me about the Gates case. I have heard commentators say that Gates was racially profiled by the policeman who came to his home. Although Gates may have been profiled by the neighbor who made the initial call to police/911 that started this whole thing off, there certainly wasn't any racial profiling done on the part of the police officer that went to the house. Why? Because race wasn't a consideration in determining whether Gates had committed an illegal act. The cop was already looking for a black male, as described by the neighbor. Had a crime been committed and a black was stopped by a policeman on the street near where the crime was committed solely because of his skin color then, yes, this would have been racial profiling. But in this case ONLY blacks were suspected because that is what the identity of the suspect was described as. Here is the Wiki definition of racial profiling: Racial profiling is the inclusion of racial or ethnic characteristics in determining whether a person is considered likely to commit a particular type of crime or an illegal act or to behave in a 'predictable' manner.

[FairfieldLife] Obama calls officer Crowley and makes statement on Gates issue
So at the end of the conversation there was a discussion about -- my conversation with Sergeant Crowley, there was discussion about he and I and Professor Gates having a beer here in the White House. We don't know if that's scheduled yet -- (laughter) -- but we may put that together. He also did say he wanted to find out if there was a way of getting the press off his lawn. (Laughter.) I informed him that I can't get the press off my lawn. (Laughter.) He pointed out that my lawn is bigger than his lawn. (Laughter.) But if anybody has any connections to the Boston press, as well as national press, Sergeant Crowley would be happy for you to stop trampling his grass. - - President Obama made a surprise appearance in the White House briefing room to say he could have calibrated his words differently when he suggested Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting Harvard professor Henry Lewis Gates, Jr. STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT James S. Brady Press Briefing Room 2:33 P.M. EDT THE PRESIDENT: Hey, it's a cameo appearance. Sit down, sit down. I need to help Gibbs out a little bit here. QAre you the new press secretary? THE PRESIDENT: If you got to do a job, do it yourself. (Laughter.) I wanted to address you guys directly because over the last day and a half obviously there's been all sorts of controversy around the incident that happened in Cambridge with Professor Gates and the police department there. I actually just had a conversation with Sergeant Jim Crowley, the officer involved. And I have to tell you that as I said yesterday, my impression of him was that he was a outstanding police officer and a good man, and that was confirmed in the phone conversation -- and I told him that. And because this has been ratcheting up -- and I obviously helped to contribute ratcheting it up -- I want to make clear that in my choice of words I think I unfortunately gave an impression that I was maligning the Cambridge Police Department or Sergeant Crowley specifically -- and I could have calibrated those words differently. And I told this to Sergeant Crowley. I continue to believe, based on what I have heard, that there was an overreaction in pulling Professor Gates out of his home to the station. I also continue to believe, based on what I heard, that Professor Gates probably overreacted as well. My sense is you've got two good people in a circumstance in which neither of them were able to resolve the incident in the way that it should have been resolved and the way they would have liked it to be resolved. The fact that it has garnered so much attention I think is a testimony to the fact that these are issues that are still very sensitive here in America. So to the extent that my choice of words didn't illuminate, but rather contributed to more media frenzy, I think that was unfortunate. What I'd like to do then I make sure that everybody steps back for a moment, recognizes that these are two decent people, not extrapolate too much from the facts -- but as I said at the press conference, be mindful of the fact that because of our history, because of the difficulties of the past, you know, African Americans are sensitive to these issues. And even when you've got a police officer who has a fine track record on racial sensitivity, interactions between police officers and the African American community can sometimes be fraught with misunderstanding. My hope is, is that as a consequence of this event this ends up being what's called a teachable moment, where all of us instead of pumping up the volume spend a little more time listening to each other and try to focus on how we can generally improve relations between police officers and minority communities, and that instead of flinging accusations we can all be a little more reflective in terms of what we can do to contribute to more unity. Lord knows we need it right now -- because over the last two days as we've discussed this issue, I don't know if you've noticed, but nobody has been paying much attention to health care. (Laughter.) I will not use this time to spend more words on health care, although I can't guarantee that that will be true next week. I just wanted to emphasize that -- one last point I guess I would make. There are some who say that as President I shouldn't have stepped into this at all because it's a local issue. I have to tell you that that part of it I disagree with. The fact that this has become such a big issue I think is indicative of the fact that race is still a troubling aspect of our society. Whether I were black or white, I think that me commenting on this and hopefully contributing to constructive -- as opposed to negative -- understandings about the issue, is part of my portfolio. So at the end of the conversation there was a discussion about -- my conversation with Sergeant Crowley, there was discussion about he and I and

Witnesses said the naked girls in Bihar state plowed the fields and chanted ancient hymns after sunset to invoke the gods. They said elderly village women helped the girls drag the plows.

Until such time, the jury is still out in making any pronouncement regarding the validity of MMY's idea. Om heck. U don't need no pronouncement, is self-evident. Not a meditator?

From scientific tests, physicists have found that the behaviour of the atom and particles in it are affected or influenced when it is observed or measured. In common parlance, it would mean that our thoughts influence the behaviour of the atom. Consequently, it affects our physical existence. In other words the atom is the ultimate nano-bot. It is a machine that carries out its function relying on the commands of consciousness. So, the old WYSZWYG acronym applies, what you see is what you get.

[FairfieldLife] The birth of Brahman
subscribe to newletter at http://yagya.org http://yagya.org In the Vedic Civilization the administration was based on the highest level of consciousness. Maharishi has explained that the ideal administration has its seat in the silence of pure consciousness, Brahman. The birth of Brahman, pure consciousness, is on that delicate level of existence and intelligence where the birth of silence is from activity and the birth of activity is from silence. Brahman integrates these opposite values of silence and activity. Silence is Gyanshakti (Gyan = knowledge, Shakti = power) and activity is Kriyashakti (Kriya = action, Shakti = power). Brahman is made of these two opposite values, silence and dynamism, but at the same time it remains completely unified. On this level there is no difference between silence and dynamism. This field of the perfect union of the two opposite values qualifies as the supreme level of administration. This field of administration is a field of all possibilities. By associating with this level of consciousness, the government keeps all knowledge and the application of this knowledge lively in the collective consciousness of the people. [National Maharishi Yagya® Performances] National Maharishi Yagya Performances to Establish a Perfect Government In Your Country Administering an Ideal Society Starting on the Day of Lasting Achievements (27th April, 2009) a series of special Maharishi Yagya® performances has begun in India, requested by responsible citizens who have come forward to sponsor National Maharishi Yagya performances for their country. For those countries that have found supporters, new sets of National Maharishi Yagya performances commence on: 1. 25th July to 4th August 2009 (First Set) 2. 6th August to 16th August 2009 (Second Set) Contributing to these National Maharishi Yagya performances brings threefold benefits: 1) Participation makes you the instrument through which the effects of the Maharishi Yagya program flow to your country; 2) this also makes you a primary beneficiary in Maharishi's global plan to create Heaven on Earth; and 3) it gives you the rare opportunity to accumulate life-supporting effects for your own life by supporting Maharishi's world-wide plan. Every Country has the Government which it Deserves Maharishi has brought to light the principle that to have a better government, the country has to improve its deserving ability by raising its collective consciousness. The quality of government depends on the quality of the collective consciousness of the people. When the collective consciousness of the country is united and coherent, then one individual, a king, can represent all the divergent interests of the people. When the collective consciousness disintegrates and different interest groups appear in the country, then democracy is born. Each group has its own representatives who meet as a body to work out a solution for the whole country. When the collective consciousness deteriorates further and fighting among the interest groups occurs even outside the halls of government, then democratic rules fail to establish peace and harmony in the country. After some time the desire for harmony and unity grows in the collective consciousness of the people and a dictator appears to end the unrest and administer the country by force. In the past decades we have seen the world come to a state of war and destruction, which brought humanity to the brink of extinction. It was only through Maharishi's untiring efforts to bring peace to the world and invincibility to all countries that world consciousness has started to rise and the global danger has been averted. In more recent years we have seen dictatorships, including the dictatorship of the proletariat, mostly disappear from political life. The time is now favoring the rise of world consciousness to a level which supports a Vedic civilization. Ideal Government is Based in Silence In the Vedic Civilization the administration was based on the highest level of consciousness. Maharishi has explained that the ideal administration has its seat in the silence of pure consciousness, Brahman.

It may be rationalization, but I do feel that MMY and the TMO created a softening and more aware world and scientific culture which is now ready to accept meditation and the programs being offered by the Buddhist way. Thank goodness someone as grounded, practical and compassionate as HHTDL is around, and he is willing to be honest. Science is now on board, and the technology is now there to really do some meaningful research on meditators.

[FairfieldLife] 'Attuning to Buddha'
While in Seattle, a couple of years ago... I had a pretty intense experience with a Shaman there... Anyway, he told me that one of my 'Guides'...is Buddha. I said, are you sure, it isn't Maharishi, I asked? No, Buddha, he said, in his Polish accent... Though he is Polish, he's pretty good, having studied with a Shaman there and here... Anyway, here is the mantra: ~[Secret mantra]~ Shr Buddham Namah Om In order to attune to Buddha Feelings of compassion, detachment, unconditional love, abundance, and so on...all of those attributes attributed to Buddha... Vaj, I believe has studied much in this area, and would be invited to list all of the attributes of Buddha, that he is familiar with, or has heard of or studied

[FairfieldLife] Re: Quantum Theory of Reality
Don't git yourself hung up waiting on just a bozon or whatever. If the Higgs boson doesn't show up then super-symmetric particle theories will have to be junked. If super-symmetric theories are junked then so are super-symmetric string theories, including Hagelin's favorite variant. The implication would then be that there's an exact correlation between the structure of Vedic literature and a theory of physics which has turned out to be garbage.

I have heard commentators say that Gates was racially profiled by the policeman who came to his home. Although Gates may have been profiled by the neighbor who made the initial call to police/911 that started this whole thing off, there certainly wasn't any racial profiling done on the part of the police officer that went to the house. Why? Because race wasn't a consideration in determining whether Gates had committed an illegal act. The cop was already looking for a black male, as described by the neighbor. Had a crime been committed and a black was stopped by a policeman on the street near where the crime was committed solely because of his skin color then, yes, this would have been racial profiling. But in this case ONLY blacks were suspected because that is what the identity of the suspect was described as. I sort of agree with shemp... I must be feeling worse than I thought. What it definitely is, though, is a sad comment on our times and our sense of community. His own neighbor didn't recognize him? How sad is that. Sal

This is extremely interesting. Is the TM research really that bad? I am told it is quite good actually. Bell shaped curve that is pretty good. Some bad stuff originally but some really good stuff too that came on. So is this Siegel guy collaborating at all with Hagelin and folks at MUM on this kind of study? Or are the TMOs, outliers? Seems in looking that this guy is pretty universal. What do the TMO'ers say about this stuff? Just wondering if they have met with this guy Siegel or UCLA? Communicated? -D in FF
