[FairfieldLife] Indian books?
Just bought Kale's A Higher Sanskrit Grammar, from 1894 (Motilal Banarsidass). I wonder if Indian books still are in general technically (or whatever) that sucky. Or is the main reason perhaps that the book is a reprint (1972, 1977, 1984, 1986, 1988, 1992, 1995, 2002, 2007)? For instance, especially some of the devanaagarii characters are quite messy and the Roman printing color is rather uneven. Interesting(?) detail from the book: The Aryans who were much fairer in color than the aborigines of India are the Devas referred to in the name /Devanagari/ (from 'div', to shine, those of a brilliant complexion).

[FairfieldLife] The Moment You Know
Still pondering the eternal mystery that is romance, I'm recapitulating a few romances and thinking back to that first moment of certainty, The Moment I Knew that this was going to be a Big Romance. There is a term in a Bruce Cockburn song that I've used to define these moments -- event horizon. The verse of the song goes like this: Wild shadows, acid verbs Eyelids opening dans mon coeur Tu me touche comme la pression Des etoiles sur les tenebres * In the elevator and the empty hall How am I ever going to hear you when you call I'm always living and I always die on the event horizon of your eyes I'm a loner With a loner's point of view I'm a loner And now I'm in love with you * TRANSLATION: Wild shadows acid verbs Eyelids opening in my heart You touch me like the pressure Of the stars on the darkness http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alT19_AzXFU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alT19_AzXFU An event horizon in astronomy is that boundary surrounding a black hole from which no more light can escape. Once you cross that boundary, every- thing -- physical objects as well as light -- is sucked into the black hole. The Moments I Knew are like that to me. They were the moments *after* I had crossed an event horizon and realized that I was past the point of no return, and was on my way on what would probably be an interesting journey. Here are a few of them: * Trying to think of what music to play in the car after picking up a woman I had driven from New York to Vermont to see, hoping there might be a resonance there but not sure of it, I selected Keith Jarrett's Koln Concert. We drove along for a few minutes, he hit my favorite chord change, and she literally stopped in mid-sentence and said, Who IS this we are listening to. The romance was a Done Deal. * Walking along a pathway at Cobb Mountain on the first day of an ATR course, passing a woman walking the other way. Stopping a few feet further to turn around, as if to say Who WAS that? and finding her doing the same thing. * Saying goodnight to a woman I had been thinking of as only a friend, and who had been thinking of me the same way. I don't think that the idea of romance had occurred to either of us. But then we realized that our respective work travel schedules meant that we wouldn't be seeing each other again for three weeks. There followed an awkward silence, followed by three weeks of realization, followed by several years of romance. * Literally running into someone -- neither of us watching where we were going and me knocking her off her feet -- and looking down to find a beautiful Japanese woman who was (fortunately) laughing and realizing in that instant that we were going to be lovers. We were, that evening. * Having worn my Serenity logo T-shirt into Barcelona, starting across a crosswalk and seeing a woman coming the other way. I saw her aura first, and it wowed me enough that it took me a second to realize that she was wearing a T-shirt that said Browncoats. I never made it to the other side of the street. * Walking down a hallway in the building I worked in and seeing a woman ahead of me in the hallway, walking the same direction. Her back was to me and all that I could really see was her long hair. I literally lost my footing and had to brace myself against the wall, and the only thought that went through my head was, Oh shit. There's one. She still is, twenty years later.

[FairfieldLife] Maharishi speaks on Karma (1962)
From an audio (No 8) recorded in Hochgurgel in 1962 (Thanks to Jörg Schenk) Maharishi speaks about Karma Some selected points: Maharishi: Who is the doer (of the Karma)? The doer is the ego, the mind. Although the senses perform the action, but the senses are not the doer. The doer is the thinker within. So the thinker, as long as it is associated with the body, it is associated with the body. But the doer is that thinker, that subtle body, that Jiva. If he casts away this body, goes to the other body, he will be caught by that action in the other body. Body doesn't matter. What matters is the doer and what he has done As I was saying, the vibrations (of the Karma) return from the wall, from the sun, from millions of miles. There are galaxies in the world from where the light takes millions of years to reach the earth. When the vibrations reach so far and strike against that and then will be rebound and come back, millions of years have passed already. So the effect of the Karma done now is not received all at once. It keeps on being received from time to time, for (?) all eternity. The effect in the vicinity of the doer is maximum, but the effect is created throughout the universe, whatever little effect at far distances, but it is created and all this effect has to come back Every second that we are producing some Karma, we are storing the fruit of that Karma to be born for millions of years Thoughts are the seed of Karma, very powerful seed. The seed in its seed status is very potent. If you have thoughts of injuring a man, you have injured the whole creation, already injured in the subtle state Future after death depends on what a man has done throughout life. But the next goal, where he will be born, mainly depends on the desire at the time of death, the desire at the time of death Question: Is there a difference of a bad Karma done intentionally or unintentionally? Maharishi: Intentionally, because his attention was there, then the effect will be more intensive. But the effect will be on the same line Question: If I have a bad son and have to beat him, is this bad Karma? Maharishi: It is the Karma of the son that brings him beating and it is the Karma of the father that makes him sorry If I do some sin and in this room there is no one, I think nobody has seen it. But it has been exposed to the whole universe. Everyone in the universe knows it. And somehow that will be delivered to us back by all the agencies in the universe, knowing or unknowing. You can't stop the evolution. If you commit sin in the room, then you are creating sinful vibrations. And sinful vibrations means, wherever they go they damage the evolution of that thing. Someone speaks ill of the other and plans damaging him, very underknees plan, nothing on the surface, damaging the entire creation by his mischief. Because the agency of thought is just vibration. That is why scriptures forbid us speaking ill of others, or damaging someone or doing harm, because apparently we seem to be harming him but eventually we have to be harmed by our own doing of the harm to someone else. To save the doer the teaching is Don't do any bad thing to anyone. Don't commit sin, go for virtue, help thy neighbour, so that thy maybe helped. In India we have the proverb that if someone speaks ill of the other he partakes his sin If you call someone a fool, then the vibrations of foolery have been spread in the whole creation and that foolery will return back to you, from all sides. Because man has that highly evolved nervous system. This great responsibility is on to man and not to animals. The responsibility of good and bad deeds, sin and virtue, this is for man and not for animals. Because man is in that position to understand how the Karma acts, how his action influences the whole creation and then he is influenced back by the same Try to do all good that you can, all your energy in doing good, but don't put your energy in criticizing the bad of someone. It is a waste of energy. Because, now when you are meditating, you are bringing that stable state of bliss consciousness in your mind. That is sublimenting the state of the mind. At this state, if you keep on bringing bad things talking ill of others and thinking of sin done by others then you are neutralizing the power that you are gaining from the absolute Nothing is more elevating than bringing the mind to the absolute being and nothing is more damaging than talking something bad or reflecting something sinful. Nothing is more damaging than this. Getting to the transcendent is the direct way to heaven and talking ill of someone or thinking bad of someone or reflecting on the sin done by someone is a direct way to hell. No greater crime can one commit than talking ill or thinking ill of something done by someone. Save yourself from your mind going to the bad things. You do good to the extent

[FairfieldLife] Movie Review: The Sleep Dealer
After watching a great first episode for season two of Dollhouse (they finally got it right but that's another post) I popped in a Blu-Ray I had rented of a Mexican film The Sleep Dealer. I wasn't expecting much more than a B-Movie and was I surprised. This film is one of the best sci-fi movies I've seen and I think will become a classic. The movie takes place in the future where there is a global economy and even the rural poor villages of Mexico have some technology. The story is about a young man who is a hacker and hacks into communication satellites with his own homebuilt gear. His village is very poor because a dam has been built due to privatization of the water supply and now they must pay for water to raise crops. Due to certain events the young man winds up traveling north to find work. In this scenario Mexican workers still work in the US but remain in Mexico. They work by remote control of robots. To do this the person has to have ports installed on their body to be plugged in. Sometimes this is done by coyoteks. People can also sell their memories online. The film is loaded with social commentary about globalism, police states, the effect of technology, water wars and terrorism. It's rated PG-13 and not watered down as a result. It won awards at Sundance and other festivals and the script was developed at a Sundance workshop. Well worth a watch: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0804529/ Chalk up two sci-fi hits District 9 and Sleep Dealer both being non-Hollywood productions.

[FairfieldLife] TV Review: Dollhouse Episode 1 Season 2
Well I would say that Whedon finally got this series right. Let's hope they can keep up the quality. There is much more character development and scene development this season. Looks like Echo is going to be more like an undercover agent and hence the downplay of prostitution theme which turned off some viewers in the first season. The mind programming is used more for a cover. Topher has a bigger role in this episode as does Whisky. Jamie Bamber of BSG is a guest star, not using an American accent, playing an international arms dealer. I'm not going to get into spoilers or analysis but just say I was impressed with this first episode and the space they gave for scene development which puts it head and shoulders above last season. Now to go see how the other armchair critics saw it.

[FairfieldLife] Romance As Interviewing
It was fun last week riffing off of meow13's questions and pondering the mysteries of romance. So since it's a fine sunny day in Sitges and I'm here in my favorite cafe with my favorite dogs and my favorite laptop, I think I'll ponder it some more. To some extent, I think that a lot of folks who have been off the market romance-wise for some time (due to being married, wannabe celibates, shy, or just having given up) may have forgotten what the *initial* stages of romance are. Some -- very few, in my experience, and all memorable because of their rarity and their intensity -- are coups de foudre, love at first sight, with both parties in- stantly smitten with each other. Others are more gradual, with it taking some time before either party would use the term romance to describe what was going on. Today -- just for fun -- I'm thinking of that gradual getting-to-know-each-other process in terms of interview- ing for a job. Have you ever been in the position where your job was to interview other people for the company you work for? It's a real lesson in many things, one of them being time and energy conservation. You've got to take time away from your real work to look through resumes and then inter- view a bunch of people, and then decide who you're going to pick for the job. Unlike romance (thankfully), you *have* to find someone for the job. So, the job search starts with checking out resumes. And your first pass on resumes (sorry to tell all of you job-hunters out there, but it's true) takes less than a minute per resume. In that first pass, you're creating two piles -- one to look at in more depth, the second so that they can be sent Thank you for applying, but... form letters. Pile Number Two has been instantly rejected because something in the resume Just Didn't Float Your Boat. Romance? Same thing, except for the smitten moments described above. Whether you are actively searching for a romance or, like me, not looking at all but open to Chance Encounters Of The Third Kind, your first pass on the people who wander into your life is often (and, admittedly, sadly) a create two piles of resumes situation. Their resume is how they walk, how they dress, how they carry themselves physically, what their aura looks like. Remember, this is before any talking (actual interviewing) has taken place. You're just seeing them walking down the street or sitting at the same cafe or across the room at a party or a classroom or a movie theater. When interviewing job candidates, the second pass is going through Pile Number One and deciding who to call in for an interview, and then conducting those interviews. You've been impressed enough by the person's resume -- how they talk their talk -- enough to want to see whether they can walk their talk. And boy! do you learn a lot about a person when interviewing them. It's MUCH more intense than romance in that respect. But again, there is still a part of your mind that is looking for red flags, indications that this person might NOT be the best match for the team of software coders you're going to be placing in the same room with them. In the second pass you are primarily looking for a vibe, a sense of match, an intuition that this person would fit in with the team, and become a valuable addition to it. And in romance? Well, damnit, that kinda describes my second pass there, too. I've been impressed enough with the person's auric resume to want to talk to them. And I really AM inter- ested in just getting to know them, but at the same time if the auric Possible Candidate For Romance alarm went off in my brain, I'm *also* looking to see how she would fit in with my life. Is the relationship between us easy and unforced? Do we laugh a lot? Are lapses in conversation perceived as something one of the parties needs to fill, or are they just perceived -- and appreciated -- as Silence? Are there red flags that come up during the interview? When interviewing someone for a job, one tends to want to know why they left their previous job. One of the worst mistakes you can make when interviewing for a job is to badmouth your former company. BIG red flag. Almost guaranteed to get you not hired, because the potential employer knows that that's exactly how you'll be talking about them when you don't fit in here, either. And in romance? Duh. Hell can arguably be defined as sitting across the table from someone who has spent the entire dinner bad-mouthing their ex. The check cannot come too soon. And it's as if the waiters in every Relationship Hell Restaurant know intuitively when this situation is taking place, and delay bringing you the check as long as possible, because they are sadists. Red flags aside, though, that early getting-to-know-each-other period -- either in interviewing or in romance -- can also occas- ionally be a lot of fun. Finding someone with whom you can just relax and laugh with and enjoy being with them is as fulfilling when interviewing

No one can go over the normal posting limit and then ask for one retroactively. * Use it or lose it. If you don't take advantage of your Get Out Of Jail Free week during the first six-month period, you don't get two weeks during the next six-month period. * A Get Out Of Jail Free Card can only be requested early on in any I've got a lot going on in my life right now and I really *need* to rant period. That is, the requestor needs to realize their need to rant before, say, the 30th post of the week, not at the 49th. My theory is that this rule will encourage greater awareness of one's current mindstate.

I was only partly serious in my post, but serious enough to follow through on my offer. We also did something similar for the whole group when Maharishi died, and I thought that was a very interesting week here on Fairfield Life. There *are* times when you have a lot going on in your life, and (thanks to you, Rick) one of the functions of this cyberplace is a kind of group therapy. Sometimes one can really *need* other people to bounce one's thoughts off of. I think it might also be interesting to see how people USED their Get Out Of Jail Free Cards. Would they be used to perpetuate a slamfest, or to really communicate?

[FairfieldLife] Guru Dev quoted in Maharishi meditation leaflet
'By treatments of the outer physical existence, the peacelessness in the sukshma sharir (subtle body) will not go away. For the purpose of removing ashanti (peacelessness) the healing of the subtle body is required. Without spiritual knowledge, you will not get peace.' 'Proceed with the practice. If the mind runs away, let it run away, you do not run afterwards. Wherever the mind goes, if it becomes appreciative there, then right there it clings. If it will become attached to Bhagwan, and has sometimes got a taste of Bhagwan, then afterwards he will get stuck to that very place. Therefore you should apply the mind in worshipping the Lord. In all circumstances apply the mind to Paramatma. Make no mistake, no worship of Bhagwan will be futile.' - Jagadguru Shankaracharya Brahmaleena Shri Brahmananda Saraswati Maharaj [translation by Paul Mason 2009) A rare example of a publicity handout where both Maharishi's teachings and Guru Dev's appear side by side.

I didn't want to say anything but I was thinking of looking at the Post Count script and adding an additional routine that would send Alex an email with the email tallies. That would make it easy to track posters who post both via web site or email or web mail (remember there are actually 3 possibilities where the user name could vary).

Re: [FairfieldLife] Indian books?
cardemaister wrote: Just bought Kale's A Higher Sanskrit Grammar, from 1894 (Motilal Banarsidass). I wonder if Indian books still are in general technically (or whatever) that sucky. Or is the main reason perhaps that the book is a reprint (1972, 1977, 1984, 1986, 1988, 1992, 1995, 2002, 2007)? For instance, especially some of the devanaagarii characters are quite messy and the Roman printing color is rather uneven. Interesting(?) detail from the book: The Aryans who were much fairer in color than the aborigines of India are the Devas referred to in the name /Devanagari/ (from 'div', to shine, those of a brilliant complexion). Probably about the same. A lot of Indian publishers are vanity publishers and you pay to get the book published. They don't proofread much though nowadays these would probably be submitted as word processor files so the author could take care of proofreading. As you go back in time some of the books were probably done with Linotype machines and whoever typed in the pages was likely to make some mistakes. Reprints may have been done as an offset of an original.

--- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Rick Archer r...@... wrote: Wonderful. Thanks for posting this Rick; I will never again call you a fool thus partaking in your karma :-) There is no irony in my words; Maharishi's talk was a great reminder. Again; thank you for posting this. From an audio (No 8) recorded in Hochgurgel in 1962 (Thanks to Jörg Schenk) Maharishi speaks about Karma Some selected points: Maharishi: Who is the doer (of the Karma)? The doer is the ego, the mind. Although the senses perform the action, but the senses are not the doer. The doer is the thinker within. So the thinker, as long as it is associated with the body, it is associated with the body. But the doer is that thinker, that subtle body, that Jiva. If he casts away this body, goes to the other body, he will be caught by that action in the other body. Body doesn't matter. What matters is the doer and what he has done As I was saying, the vibrations (of the Karma) return from the wall, from the sun, from millions of miles. There are galaxies in the world from where the light takes millions of years to reach the earth. When the vibrations reach so far and strike against that and then will be rebound and come back, millions of years have passed already. So the effect of the Karma done now is not received all at once. It keeps on being received from time to time, for (?) all eternity. The effect in the vicinity of the doer is maximum, but the effect is created throughout the universe, whatever little effect at far distances, but it is created and all this effect has to come back Every second that we are producing some Karma, we are storing the fruit of that Karma to be born for millions of years Thoughts are the seed of Karma, very powerful seed. The seed in its seed status is very potent. If you have thoughts of injuring a man, you have injured the whole creation, already injured in the subtle state Future after death depends on what a man has done throughout life. But the next goal, where he will be born, mainly depends on the desire at the time of death, the desire at the time of death Question: Is there a difference of a bad Karma done intentionally or unintentionally? Maharishi: Intentionally, because his attention was there, then the effect will be more intensive. But the effect will be on the same line Question: If I have a bad son and have to beat him, is this bad Karma? Maharishi: It is the Karma of the son that brings him beating and it is the Karma of the father that makes him sorry If I do some sin and in this room there is no one, I think nobody has seen it. But it has been exposed to the whole universe. Everyone in the universe knows it. And somehow that will be delivered to us back by all the agencies in the universe, knowing or unknowing. You can't stop the evolution. If you commit sin in the room, then you are creating sinful vibrations. And sinful vibrations means, wherever they go they damage the evolution of that thing. Someone speaks ill of the other and plans damaging him, very underknees plan, nothing on the surface, damaging the entire creation by his mischief. Because the agency of thought is just vibration. That is why scriptures forbid us speaking ill of others, or damaging someone or doing harm, because apparently we seem to be harming him but eventually we have to be harmed by our own doing of the harm to someone else. To save the doer the teaching is Don't do any bad thing to anyone. Don't commit sin, go for virtue, help thy neighbour, so that thy maybe helped. In India we have the proverb that if someone speaks ill of the other he partakes his sin If you call someone a fool, then the vibrations of foolery have been spread in the whole creation and that foolery will return back to you, from all sides. Because man has that highly evolved nervous system. This great responsibility is on to man and not to animals. The responsibility of good and bad deeds, sin and virtue, this is for man and not for animals. Because man is in that position to understand how the Karma acts, how his action influences the whole creation and then he is influenced back by the same Try to do all good that you can, all your energy in doing good, but don't put your energy in criticizing the bad of someone. It is a waste of energy. Because, now when you are meditating, you are bringing that stable state of bliss consciousness in your mind. That is sublimenting the state of the mind. At this state, if you keep on bringing bad things talking ill of others and thinking of sin done by others then you are neutralizing the power that you are gaining from the absolute Nothing is more elevating than bringing the mind to the absolute being and nothing is more damaging than talking something bad or reflecting something sinful.

Their accounts are now available on the Internet, and can be seen below in this article. One of the whistleblowers, Arthur Neumann, who until recently referred to himself as Henry Deacon http://www.projectcamelot.org/livermore_physicist_3.html for fear of retaliation, was formerly associated with a U.S. government agency, On July 25, 2009, at the European Exopolitics Congress http://inphobe.blogspot.com/2009/09/arthur-neumann-speaks-from-european\ .html in Barcelona, Mr. Neumann publicly stated, There is life on Mars. There are bases on Mars. I have been there. The following day, Mr. Neumann participated in Futuretalk http://exopolitics.blogs.com/exopolitics/2009/09/futuretalk-5-robert-de\ an-arthur-neumann-alfred-webre-teleporting-to-mars.html , a Project Camelot documentary interview, in which he provided details of his teleporting to a base on Mars and participating in a one-hour project meeting, which was also attended by representatives of an intelligent civilization that lives in cities under the surface of Mars. The other whistleblower, lawyer Andrew D. Basiago http://exopolitics.blogs.com/files/mars---about-the-discoverer---andrew\ -d.-basiago---12-28-08.pdf , is a former child participant in a secret time travel project launched by the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). In a six-hour interview released August 31, 2009, Mr. Basiago relates his experiences in DARPA's Project Pegasus during the period 1969 to 1972, and describes probes to past and future events that he took via teleportation and chronovision during the early days of time-space exploration by the US government. He [Mr. Basiago] confirms that the United States has been teleporting individuals to Mars for decades and recounts the awe-inspiring and terrifying trips that he took to Mars in 1981 after he was tapped to go there because he had teleported as a child participant in Project Pegasus. Mr. Basiago has also publicly confirmed that in 1970, in the company of his late father, Raymond F. Basiago, an engineer for The Ralph M. Parsons Company who worked on classified aerospace projects, he met three Martian astronauts at the Curtiss-Wright Aeronautical Company facility in Wood Ridge, New Jersey while the Martians were there on a liaison mission to Earth and meeting with US defense-technical personnel. Whistleblower Arthur Neumann and bases on Mars Arthur Neumann's verification of the existence of bases on Mars, and of having personally been to Mars, occurred at the end of Command Sgt. Major (USAF retired) Robert Dean's presentation at the European Exopolitics Summit and can be seen beginning at 54 minutes into the presentation (above). During his presentation, Robert Dean showed satellite images of an apparent city under the surface of Mars, as well as an apparent base on the surface of Mars.

excellent talk by Maharishi given in 1962, but here is my comment 2009: it is hard to follow Maharishi's advice( last few paragraphs ) during these extremely difficult times ; and it seems it was hard for Maharishi to follow his own advice; this was given in 1962, so for a few decades, he did really well focusing only on positivity, it seemed to me, but then he started to call President Bush a rakshasa( a demon ); so these are truly difficult times for everyone but the advice Maharishi gave is still excellent and wise to try ones best --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Rick Archer r...@... wrote: From an audio (No 8) recorded in Hochgurgel in 1962 (Thanks to Jörg Schenk) Maharishi speaks about Karma Some selected points: Maharishi: Who is the doer (of the Karma)?
