[FairfieldLife] I-Chuan?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkfgf8Vr5Pk Yesterday met a TM-sidha, soon turning 80, who's been the most diligent YFfer for seveal years in my home town. I'm not sure if he does YF any more after the local center was closed down. He's also been practising I-Chuan for several years. When I met him a couple of weeks ago, he looked rather frail. Yesterday he looked like 5 to 10 years younger than then,having been, once again on an I-Chuan course after I met him the last time. BTW, the video above is rather unimpressive, IMO...
[FairfieldLife] Feedback for Rick
Rick, Although I don't think you mentioned it here, I thought I'd comment on the video of you done on a similar website to Buddha At The Gas Pump. I liked it, and thought you came across better than its host, who interviewed you. I was struck by the comparative use and non-use of the word truth. Mr. Richards strikes me as the kind of guy who would not necessarily react gracefully to someone challenging his assumptions about what is true and what is Truth. You, as far as I could tell, did not even use the word. I like that, and respect it. I thought you came across as very natural and well-spoken. I loved the part where you spoke about the occasional freakout on long rounding courses and spoke about the need to integrate your high experiences on the course by diving back into reality. Mr. Richards asked you to amplify on that, but characterized it as relapsing. Very telling, IMO. And quite a contrast between your naturalism and comfort with both aspects of life and his (from my POV) lack of both. I watched about the first five minutes of the interview. I would have liked to have watched it all, but the feed died at that point and refused to be restarted, no matter what I did. All in all, and my reason for writing this, is that I thought you came across as someone who actually could inspire people to seek the more valuable, balanced aspects of seeking, and avoid some of the possible pitfalls of seeking. If you were still teaching meditation, I would be comfortable referring a young person to you to learn it. I cannot say that about many of the people with whom I have shared a spiritual path in the past.
[FairfieldLife] Life's too short for bad wine
Yesterday, while some obviously spent their day here obsessing about...uh...their obsessions, I decided to do Something Different. So I went on a short road trip with friends up into the Priorat region, there to take a tour of a fairly famous vineyard. http://www.capafons-osso.com The gentleman whose photo is on the home page of the website above gave us a guided tour around the vineyard that has been in his family since 1150 (five generations with the current family name). Think of that. 860 years of accumulated knowledge about wine and the science and art of creating it. I can easily say that I learned more about wine yesterday than I had in the entire rest of my life. His vineyard is justly famous because of its location and its unique set of microclimates. It's in mountainous terrain, and contains literally the steepest vine slopes in the world, so steep they cannot be planted or harvested using any kind of machinery. Most of the work is done by hand today, just as it was in 1150. The wines from this vineyard are famous for their flavor and bouquet, and also for the length of time that they stay flavorful and fragrant once opened -- four hours as opposed to two for many of the other great wines of the world. And the *range* of tastes and bouquets is simply astounding. As he explained to us, there is literally a different microclimate every few hundred meters, each producing a different wine, with different qualities. Part of the fame of his wines has to do with the abund- ance of water in his protected valley (not a given in dry, dry Spain) but also to the over 200 varieties of aromatic herbs that grow on the property. He stopped the 4WD vehicle periodically so we could pick and smell some of them, and I can honestly say that it was almost as enjoyable and edifying as sniffing and tasting the wine itself. I was in awe. You think you know what thyme smells like. On one stop he walked around in a three- meter circle and brought back three different varieties of thyme, each unique, the fragrance of each one reactable to only with the word Wow! As for the wines themselves, my taste buds may never recover. The Mas de Masos was as spectacular as expected, since it has been rated one of the 100 best wines in the world by Wine And Spirits and Bon Appetit. But the much less expensive Sirsell and Masos d'en Cubells were just as amazing. Suffice it to say I bought some, at about 1/4 to 1/3 the price they would fetch in the U.S. Altogether a really neat and enjoyable experience. Then I came home and browsed through Fairfield Life. I come away from the contrast thinking that maybe Curtis is right and life is too short for bad conversation, too.

I can see weare going to disagree as to what constitutes real science forever. I think you are kidding yourself if you think that the any ancient text even remotely resembles the wonders that modern scientific instruments have revealed about the world. If just one ancient idea had been confirmed by objective testing I would be impressed, I guess it won't matter how many times I say it either you aint gonna respond! at this period of time, there seems to be an upsurge of folks, even many ordinary walking amongst us, that are awakening to these eternal universal principles and sharing their self-realization experiences on Rick's batgap.com, Richard Miller's nevernothere.com, conscious.tv, mooji.com, satsangwithstuart.com, many teachers on youtube, and many other websites, Adyashanti, Eckhart Tolle, sufi mystic Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, http://hamsa-yoga.org/ oh, great saints like amma.org, karunamayi.org, shreemaa.org, others I'm happy for them, I've been there myself and had a great time but I disagree with the interpretation of the experiences, and the fact lots of other people accept the interpretations doesn't mean they are more likely to be correct. Does it. why not start and do your own research like the ancients did and arrive at your own conclusions instead of arguing who is right or wrong and relying on external knowledge which is constantly changing If you'd read any of my posts and understood them you would know that that is precisely whaT I do and will continue to do, I have the same experiences as you guys I just have a different standard of evidence as to what the experiences mean. Nullius in verba. I would say external knowledge is being constantly refined rather than just changing If we left it to John Hagelin to explain the universe what we have really? Yagyas and jyotish being part of quantum physics even though there isn't even a passably convincing physical framework for it, or how about his claim that he's finished Einsteins work? Surely that grates on you a bit. If we left cosmology to these clowns we wouldn't actually know anything at all, we'd still be living in the iron age, scared of solar eclipses and praying for the gods to help us. Which is where the TMO is now because, being a religion, it doesn't see the need to test whether it's beliefs and techn- ologies actually work which is what seperates it from science. It won't constantly change simply because it thinks it is 100% correct already! ask yourself who am I? and listen sincerely clue: the real answer is non-verbal, it's called self-realization Been there, it's nice.

[FairfieldLife] Nasa predicts end of the world in 2013!
Well not really but I had to get your attention. Could be bad though, last time this happened it completely knocked out America's communications network, luckily in 1859 that only meant the telegraph service. Could be a bit more serious now... Nasa warns solar flares from 'huge space storm' will cause devastation Britain could face widespread power blackouts and be left without critical communication signals for long periods of time, after the earth is hit by a once-in-a-generation space storm, Nasa has warned. By Andrew Hough http://www.telegraph.co.uk/journalists/andrew-hough/ Published: 1:00PM BST 14 Jun 2010 National power grids could overheat and air travel severely disrupted while electronic items, navigation devices and major satellites could stop working after the Sun reaches its maximum power in a few years. Senior space agency scientists believe the Earth will be hit with unprecedented levels of magnetic energy from solar flares after the Sun wakes from a deep slumber sometime around 2013, The Daily Telegraph can disclose. In a new warning, Nasa said the super storm would hit like a bolt of lightning and could cause catastrophic consequences for the world's health, emergency services and national security unless precautions are taken. Scientists believe it could damage everything from emergency services' systems, hospital equipment, banking systems and air traffic control devices, through to everyday items such as home computers, iPods and Sat Navs. Due to humans' heavy reliance on electronic devices, which are sensitive to magnetic energy, the storm could leave a multi-billion pound damage bill and potentially devastating problems for governments. We know it is coming but we don't know how bad it is going to be, Dr Richard Fisher, the director of Nasa's Heliophysics division, told The Daily Telegraph in an interview. It will disrupt communication devices such as satellites and car navigations, air travel, the banking system, our computers, everything that is electronic. It will cause major problems for the world. Large areas will be without electricity power and to repair that damage will be hard as that takes time. Dr Fisher added: Systems will just not work. The flares change the magnetic field on the earth that is rapid and like a lightning bolt. That is the solar affect. A space weather conference in Washington DC last week http://www.nswp.gov/swef/swef_2010.html , attended by Nasa scientists, policy-makers, researchers and government officials, was told of similar warnings. While scientists have previously told of the dangers of the storm, Dr Fisher's comments are the most comprehensive warnings from Nasa to date. Dr Fisher, 69, said the storm, which will cause the Sun to reach temperatures of more than 10,000 F (5500C), occurred only a few times over a person's life. Every 22 years the Sun's magnetic energy cycle peaks while the number of sun spots or flares hits a maximum level every 11 years. Dr Fisher, a Nasa scientist for 20 years http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2010/04jun_swef/ , said these two events would combine in 2013 to produce huge levels of radiation. He said large swathes of the world could face being without power for several months, although he admitted that was unlikely. A more likely scenario was that large areas, including northern Europe and Britain which have fragile power grids, would be without power and access to electronic devices for hours, possibly even days. He said preparations were similar to those in a hurricane season, where authorities knew a problem was imminent but did not know how serious it would be. I think the issue is now that modern society is so dependant on electronics, mobile phones and satellites, much more so than the last time this occurred, he said. There is a severe economic impact from this. We take it very seriously. The economic impact could be like a large, major hurricane or storm. The National Academy of Sciences warned two years ago that power grids, GPS navigation, air travel, financial services and emergency radio communications could all be knocked out by intense solar activity. It warned a powerful solar storm could cause twenty times more economic damage than Hurricane Katrina. That storm devastated New Orleans in 2005 and left an estimated damage bill of more than $125bn (£85bn). Dr Fisher said precautions could be taken including creating back up systems for hospitals and power grids and allow development on satellite safe modes. If you know that a hazard is coming and you have time enough to prepare and take precautions, then you can avoid trouble, he added. His division, a department of the Science Mission Directorate at Nasa headquarters in Washington DC, which investigates the Sun's influence on the earth, uses dozens of satellites to study the threat The government has said it was aware of the threat and contingency plans were in place to cope with the fall out

Tribe of Ukrainian Fighting Women (Pics)By: Dahlia Rideout http://www.divinecaroline.com/user/profile/36185 (View Profile http://www.divinecaroline.com/user/profile/36185 ) [http://media.divinecaroline.com/ext/media/120x60_dreams.jpg] http://www.divinecaroline.com/body_and_soul/dreams/dreams_analyzer French photojournalist Guillaume Herbaut http://www.oeilpublic.com/ spent some time with an unusual and tough group of 150 Ukrainian women who call themselves Asgarda. These women live in the Carpathian Mountains and follow a rigorous routine of fighting and boxing, often with medieval weaponry. The women idolize Yulia Tymoshenko, the icon of the Orange Revolution and leader of the Ukrainian Fatherland party. The portraits are inspiring, bizarre, and strangely beautiful.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Life's too short for bad wine
...life is too short for bad conversation, too. So, you drank some wine yesterday! TurquoiseB: Yesterday, while some obviously spent their day here obsessing about...uh...their obsessions, I decided to do Something Different. So I went on a short road trip with friends up into the Priorat region, there to take a tour of a fairly famous vineyard. http://www.capafons-osso.com The gentleman whose photo is on the home page of the website above gave us a guided tour around the vineyard that has been in his family since 1150 (five generations with the current family name). Think of that. 860 years of accumulated knowledge about wine and the science and art of creating it. I can easily say that I learned more about wine yesterday than I had in the entire rest of my life. His vineyard is justly famous because of its location and its unique set of microclimates. It's in mountainous terrain, and contains literally the steepest vine slopes in the world, so steep they cannot be planted or harvested using any kind of machinery. Most of the work is done by hand today, just as it was in 1150. The wines from this vineyard are famous for their flavor and bouquet, and also for the length of time that they stay flavorful and fragrant once opened -- four hours as opposed to two for many of the other great wines of the world. And the *range* of tastes and bouquets is simply astounding. As he explained to us, there is literally a different microclimate every few hundred meters, each producing a different wine, with different qualities. Part of the fame of his wines has to do with the abund- ance of water in his protected valley (not a given in dry, dry Spain) but also to the over 200 varieties of aromatic herbs that grow on the property. He stopped the 4WD vehicle periodically so we could pick and smell some of them, and I can honestly say that it was almost as enjoyable and edifying as sniffing and tasting the wine itself. I was in awe. You think you know what thyme smells like. On one stop he walked around in a three- meter circle and brought back three different varieties of thyme, each unique, the fragrance of each one reactable to only with the word Wow! As for the wines themselves, my taste buds may never recover. The Mas de Masos was as spectacular as expected, since it has been rated one of the 100 best wines in the world by Wine And Spirits and Bon Appetit. But the much less expensive Sirsell and Masos d'en Cubells were just as amazing. Suffice it to say I bought some, at about 1/4 to 1/3 the price they would fetch in the U.S. Altogether a really neat and enjoyable experience. Then I came home and browsed through Fairfield Life. I come away from the contrast thinking that maybe Curtis is right and life is too short for bad conversation, too.
[FairfieldLife] God is objective and scientific !
God is objective and scientific according to theoretical physicist Dr Amit Goswami, PhD : It's objective and it's scientific. You can call it God if you want, but you don't have to. Quantum consciousness will do. Nonlocality, tangled hierarchy, and discontinuity: these signatures of quantum consciousness have been independently verified by leading researchers worldwide. This experimental data and its conclusions inform us that it is the mistaken materialist view that is at the center of most of our worlds problems today. To address these problems, we now have a science of spirituality that is fully verifiable and objective. From : http://www.amitgoswami.org/ http://www.amitgoswami.org/ Let me clarify that I don't know if I subscribe to Goswami POV 100% in details, because I have not studied him thoroughly because it is my POV that each of us( 7billion) has a unique POV just as no two snowflakes are alike; of course there are similarities and groups of agreement will form etc now for my( anatol's ) perspective: As in religion, so in science there is not one body of knowledge out there with the idealistic imaginative concepts that the devotees of science have about it. As in religion, these devotees have not really delved into it much but rather cling to their idealistic imaginative concepts about science, or religion. And so we have the current new religion called science. But, again as in religion, science cannot exist without the scientists, the new priests of the new religion. So, above I have given a link to one of the interesting scientists, perhaps a mystic just as there are mystics in the fields of religion and spirituality who share the real eternal universal principles both by word and experience. When I was a physicist, 39 years ago, I would wonder how can people understand anything about life and the universe without having the understating that is available to scientists in terms of math, formulas, principles, logic. But, when at age 31, my first huge personal problem arose, plunging me into deep depression, my physics was useless. I went to the university psychologist and wondered if I had studied the wrong science? But just for a short time, because it was only of little help. But what really helped, were these miraculous things: 1)Very long walks and watching my thoughts unravel, all the good the bad and the ugly with some insights 2)Reading J. Krishnamurti's Think on These Things which not only transformed my deep depression into joy without a reason sort of like the peace that passeth all understanding ; there definitely was some shift in my perception of life and world, a lot more really then physics did 3)Starting TM, immediately I had excess to a more peaceful mind 4)Spending one month with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi; the feeling was don't know if what he says is valid; but, definitely know that I am experiencing something new which I can only call love not personal, hard to define, like some presence that is just there, not thoughts in the head, a very subtle feeling but more real then the gross field of perceptions 5)Several months later experience of awareness resting in the heart without thoughts; just peace and love; the love was so intense had to be God's Love as in God is Love. This definitely was experiential proof of the spiritual principle God is Love as real as any physics experiment, actually a lot more real So that is how I went from studying the science of physics to not only studying but also living the science of spirituality, the only science that includes all the other sciences. So, from this perspective, I can appreciate all the other fields of knowledge, from material science to art, music, poetry or whatever as each being valid but not superior to another; no competition; nothings wins unless all win; if only one wins, sure disaster as in oil spill The ultimate quest, whether spiritual, philosophical or scientific, is Who the heck Am I? Thanks for listening. Om Namah Sivaya, anatol
[FairfieldLife] Re: Nasa predicts end of the world in 2013!
I suggested if they do that we once they're in them we seal the entrances up with cement so they can't get out... So, you're a Ventura watcher... Bhairitu: So what's wrong with that? Because Ventura is a paranoid nutcase and it's rubbing off on you? You are not making any sense - for what purpose would you want to seal the entrance with cement AFTER the rich people went in? Perhaps because you have no sense? So, you watch Ventura on TV, and now you believe the end of the world is coming, and so you want to seal with concrete all the bunkers where the rich people hide, but I have no sense?

Then you have a dictatorship. I think MMY was an idealist, and since there are few if any perfect people on the planet it's foolhardy to expect any perfect form of government. Hey...remember the tree analogy that was dumped by MMY? Maybe we should to back to it!!! :-(

Then you have a dictatorship. Agreed. I think MMY was an idealist, and since there are few if any perfect people on the planet it's foolhardy to expect any perfect form of government. Hey...remember the tree analogy that was dumped by MMY? Maybe we should to back to it!!! :-( You mean water the root to enjoy the fruit?

[FairfieldLife] Re: Dome Meditation Numbers
Well, the other 'thing' really besides 'funding' people to meditate in the domes would be rescinding the administrative DADT policy for those meditators who would like to join and could join the group meditations in the domes doing TM and the TM-Siddhis. The remedy is quite simple and in the hands of the TMo. They don't have enough people around to just pay anymore. In fact, they need to come to terms with the meditating community if they would really like to have their numbers where they would like them. This is a 20 year problem they have let fester. Their tragedy (the TMo's) is that neither of the theorem #1 or #2 will get close to being tested either way no matter how much the true-believers might wish, if their own old problem of excluding meditators over visiting spiritual healers and other spiritual saints is not simply and directly nullified. They have an old administrative problem that has become cultural which they are going to have to deal with internally to get the meditating community back together in the domes otherwise. It appears that won't happen easily before the Trustees might with strong backbones remove some very large body(s) in the way. God help them. Jai Adi Shankara, -Buck I went up to the hardware store the other day and stopped for coffee also along the way. As I went along I asked meditators if they were in the domes(?) and found seven people in passing who were not in the domes because they have gone to see the lady saints. I asked each if they would be willing to go to the domes, if they were simply asked to do TM and TM-siddhis(?)with the group in the domes. They all said 'yes'. The movement evidently has an administrative (cultural) problem with the meditating community. Buck in FF

[FairfieldLife] Richard C. Hoagland reports on BP oil spill gas bubble
Interview on Coast to Coast radio. Think Mount St. Helens -- underwater. Depth recorders have detected a gas bubble growing under the ocean floor, around the well head. If this potential bubble does not get controlled ASAP before it explodes, impending disaster could be awaiting millions of residents in the gulf states. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3_23PFnTZ8

Hoagland, (born April 25, 1945) is an American author and a proponent of various conspiracy theories about NASA, lost alien civilizations on the Moon and on Mars and other related topics. Claims from his personal biography[2] and publication[3] include having been curator for a science museum in Springfield Massachusetts at age 19 in the mid-60s.[4] Hoagland does not have any scientific training. His writings claim that advanced civilizations exist or once existed on the moon, Mars and on some of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, and that NASA and the United States government have conspired to keep these facts secret. He has advocated his ideas in two published books, several videotapes,[5][6][7] lectures,[8] interviews,[9][10] and press conferences.[11] His views have never been published in peer-reviewed journals[12]. Hoagland has been labeled by James Oberg of The Space Review and Phil Plait of Bad Astronomy as a conspiracy theorist and fringe thinker.[13][14] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_C._Hoagland
[FairfieldLife] Lord Shiva Destroyer of Ignorance
In vedic science the trinity of 1) brahma the creator 2) vishnu the maintainer 3) shiva the destroyer correspond to the three mathematical operators in quantum field theory: 1) creation operator 2) maintenance operator 3) annihilation operator See reference which however does not mention the maintenance operator for some reason, which I have seen in my former life as a physicist: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creation_and_annihilation_operators http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creation_and_annihilation_operators anyways, in vedic science these impulses of nature are personalized and put to music making them a lot more accessible to the common man without a PhD in physics; and a lot more fun; enjoy Om Namah Shivaya (DHUN) (Must Listen) ( New Part ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ridonl_s0h0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ridonl_s0h0 Om Hrim Namah Sivaya, anatol
[FairfieldLife] Who is Alvin Greene?
Believe it or not he won the Democratic Party primary nomination for the senate race in South Carolina. He is an Army vet and currently unemployed. He won with no campaign funds and no campaign staff. http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/06/10/who-is-alvin-greene/?scp=7sq=South%20Carolinast=cse How is that possible? It appears that he has a very strong birth chart to have the support of nature behind him to get this far.
[FairfieldLife] Re: Life's too short for bad wine
You sound real scared about this wine. Maybe it's because of the waxing you took from Judy several weeks ago. Go figure. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, WillyTex willy...@... wrote: ...life is too short for bad conversation, too. So, you drank some wine yesterday! TurquoiseB: Yesterday, while some obviously spent their day here obsessing about...uh...their obsessions, I decided to do Something Different. So I went on a short road trip with friends up into the Priorat region, there to take a tour of a fairly famous vineyard. http://www.capafons-osso.com The gentleman whose photo is on the home page of the website above gave us a guided tour around the vineyard that has been in his family since 1150 (five generations with the current family name). Think of that. 860 years of accumulated knowledge about wine and the science and art of creating it. I can easily say that I learned more about wine yesterday than I had in the entire rest of my life. His vineyard is justly famous because of its location and its unique set of microclimates. It's in mountainous terrain, and contains literally the steepest vine slopes in the world, so steep they cannot be planted or harvested using any kind of machinery. Most of the work is done by hand today, just as it was in 1150. The wines from this vineyard are famous for their flavor and bouquet, and also for the length of time that they stay flavorful and fragrant once opened -- four hours as opposed to two for many of the other great wines of the world. And the *range* of tastes and bouquets is simply astounding. As he explained to us, there is literally a different microclimate every few hundred meters, each producing a different wine, with different qualities. Part of the fame of his wines has to do with the abund- ance of water in his protected valley (not a given in dry, dry Spain) but also to the over 200 varieties of aromatic herbs that grow on the property. He stopped the 4WD vehicle periodically so we could pick and smell some of them, and I can honestly say that it was almost as enjoyable and edifying as sniffing and tasting the wine itself. I was in awe. You think you know what thyme smells like. On one stop he walked around in a three- meter circle and brought back three different varieties of thyme, each unique, the fragrance of each one reactable to only with the word Wow! As for the wines themselves, my taste buds may never recover. The Mas de Masos was as spectacular as expected, since it has been rated one of the 100 best wines in the world by Wine And Spirits and Bon Appetit. But the much less expensive Sirsell and Masos d'en Cubells were just as amazing. Suffice it to say I bought some, at about 1/4 to 1/3 the price they would fetch in the U.S. Altogether a really neat and enjoyable experience. Then I came home and browsed through Fairfield Life. I come away from the contrast thinking that maybe Curtis is right and life is too short for bad conversation, too.
