Sorry to break it to you Willy but Taimini superimposed Theosophy upon
Patanjali ala Blavatsky/Bailey blah blah blah. Taimini wasn't even a
lightweight in the field ... he was the Evans-Wentz of translators for
Patanjali's Yogasutra-s. You got to do better than than that Willy.

Tell ya what Tex. You want to talk about creative writing? Let's see you go for 
one week without writing trolly posts and without using the following phrases:

1. You sound real scared.

2. You aren't making any sense today.

3. You need to get some smarts

4. Maybe so butread more

5. Go figure.

There are many more...we could have a contest: Silly Willy's Greatest Hits!

Let see if you can make it for one week without using those phrases. I'm sayin' 
no.

The problem I have with your attitude is that it seems "hard liner" and 
too simplistic.   The typical conservative attitude is that most people 
are lazy.  I don't think they are.  Many cons don't understand 
intellectuals either. Hmm, I wonder why?   Could it be that 
intellectuals are "over their heads?"

Problem is we don't have enough jobs for everybody so why not divy them 
up and reduce the work week for everyone?   Oh gee, you won't be able to 
make those mortgage payments that way.  Maybe you should have thought of 
that before buying the house. ;-)

I've got no problem with those who want to run their own business and live 
independantly.  However, it did seem to me when I was in Fairfield, among other 
places, that an attitude would spread causing people to look down on regular 
employees, as if they were stupid, unevolved, and wasting their lives.   To me 
it seemed like a combination of arrogance combined with justification for 
laziness, and it has resulted in many people going into old age without the 
ability to support their own needs.

I can, simply because i've seen firsthand the hygiene, safety, and overall well 
being of Afghanistan as well as many other 3rd world countries.  Most people in 
Afghanistan don't even have a clearly defined bathroom where they live, they 
eat a very bland diet that doesn't have proper nutrition, and they have little

are not spiritual nor beneficial in any way.

I wouldn't say that most americans work because they think they'll get some 
spiritual benefit, but more so it results in a comfortable place to sleep, food 
to eat, medicine when they're sick, ability to support children, etc

I've got no problem whatsoever with the attitude of just "squeaking by".  But I 
think one of the themes that are part of this original discussion is that many 
of the people who prefer to have maximum free time and just 'squeak by' are 
expecting the same benefits of those who work diligently to earn the benefits 
they recieve.  Just like the health care bill.  I've got no problem with 
universal coverage, but what I do have a problem with is that a lot of the 
people who are expecting the coverage have no desire or concern to contribute 
to its cost.  You simply get what you give in life, and you don't take if you 
don't give.  If you don't want to work, fine, but don't expect anything in

2010-06-16 Thread It's just a ride
The Toyota sales manager gave me all the manuals and told me to study them.
He'll demo when I pick up the car.  I'm used to Toyota manuals.  Whatever it
says has been changed or doesn't apply to your car.  What I have gleaned so
far is the this is a very dangerous piece of machinery with voltages up to
700 V.  If it's moving, it's a menace.  If it's not moving it's a menace.
And the metal pads they call keys.  I objected to the name until I found
that inside of each is a key, sort of like a teeny wrench.  You use it when
the outer key doesn't do anything, which according to the drivers manual, is
99% of the time.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Importance of practising siddhis?

2010-06-16 Thread John
IMO the siddhis are valid.  As mentioned before on this forum, I personally 
have experienced the siddhi relating to being "small as an atom", even though I 
only used the basic TM mantra.  While in samadhi, I saw my consiousness 
floating nearby glowing pink rods and cones.  I later realized that these were 
actually the inner structure of the retina in my eyes.

One other guy from this forum have admitted to me he had experienced the same 
thing.

In summary, the experience only convinced me that the atomic particle is part 
of consciousness, or that it can sustain consciousness in its structure, which 
is more likely both in particle and wave forms.  This would apply to all the 
other subatomic particles that physicists have discovered and are in the 
process of discovering.

I would expect that people with "creative intelligence" would want to be 
their own bosses.  Has MUM ever done a study on how many meditators 
start their own businesses rather than work for someone else?  Comes to 
mind that many meditators I know did just that. And it may just be they 
didn't want some non-meditator bossing them around.

As for work ethic I'm not sure if it was here or somewhere else that I 
read an article about the work ethic in the Middle East.  I believe it 
was an article about the lithium found in Afghanistan and it mentioned 
that they, like Indians, don't want to work more than a couple hours a 
day.  I can't blame them for that.  Americans were brainwashed by the 
Industrial Revolution that work was somehow "holy."   That gave the 
corporatists a bunch of willing wage slaves.  When people got wise to 
this and formed unions then the corporatists brought in their Brinks and 
Loomis goons to beat up on their wage slaves.

According to a report I posted here a couple months back the 
"millennial" generation has decided they aren't going for wealth and 
would prefer to be poorer and have more free time.  Good for them!  They 
have awakened.  And BTW I know many "new agers" who feel the same way as 
squeak by on a shoestring income.  Many of them are artists and have 
fluctuating incomes which often no different than those of us who do 
contract work and also have fluctuating incomes.   They're happier that 
way and don't have to play the usual corporate political games.

Sorry, but I don't give a flying phuk (or stuff), if he can
explain some concepts so that they make at least
some sense for a mere "linguistic technician" such as myself.

My latest "heureka" was dharma-, lakSaNa- and avasthaa-pariNaama's, which

Maharishi was busy preparing the now occurring Enlightenment of thousands of 
individuals; the downfall of Communismn/Capitalism; to usher in the bright 
sunshine of the Age of Enlightenment, the Utopia where "Heaven will walk on 
Earth in this generation". 

In other words He was busy being the transformational force behind the long 
awaited, and long predicted, transition from darkness to light for this Planet.

That's the beef.

What we needed is a Jimmy Carter moment from Obama rather than telling 
the nation "to pray."   How ridiculous is that?  Gee, with that kinda 
thinking Bevan ought to be on the phone right now with Obama offering to 
send Fairfield bun bouncers to the Gulf.

Carter's energy speech:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KjHwi6whtQ

Carter's energy policy was set into law and then the Reagan goons pee'd 
all over it.

Thom Hartmann was saying this morning we need to teach Obama how to be a 
good "Democrat" but I think he's too busy trying to be a "Good 
Republican."  Hartmann also suggested that Obama should have had federal 
marshalls on hand for today's meeting and arrest the BP crew.   Mike 
Malloy last night commented that it was a good Bush speech and that Bush 
had somehow gotten younger looking and darker skinned.






[FairfieldLife] Food Price Increases Increase

2010-06-16 Thread nablusoss1008
Food Price Increases IncreaseBy Raj  
on 06/15/2010 in Uncategorized

For once, the title's not a typo. The Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development, and the Food And Agricultural Organization
of the United Nations have revised up its estimates of how much food
prices will increase
  over the
coming decade. As reported by Javier Blas in the Financial Times
 :



In real terms, the report projected cereal prices to rise around 15-40
per cent relative to the 1997-2006 average, up from last year's
forecast of 10-20 per cent. Vegetable oils are expected to be more than
40 per cent higher, against last year's forecast of a 30 per cent
increase. Meat and dairy products will also be more expensive in the
next decade, reversing last year's forecast that pointed to lower
prices.

Remember, though, these are merely trends. On top of these trends come
variability. More food price spikes and troughs. And which profession
will make money from this increased variability? Fred Kaufman
 , in a terrific cover article for
next month's Harpers, will tell more. But here's a hint: it
rhymes with wanker.

If you really want to read an outstanding commentary of the Bhagavad Gita read 
Swami Paramahansa Yogananda's.  I hate to tell you this but it is "far 
superior" to MMY's hands down, no comparison.  You'll see how superficial MMY's 
really is, though, in all fairness MMY did say in his introduction that, "The 
present commentary should be regarded as a general basis for these **twenty 
four** commentaries". 

Which he said he would come out with, "If time allows", well he lived till 
what, 93...where's the beef!  :-)

I think getting tough on polluting companies is a great 
idea. How about getting Union Carbide to clean up Bophal 
and pay some decent compensation there. And make Texaco pay
for the appalling environmental damage and abuse they 
inflicted on the indigenous people in Ecuador.

And then we can all sit back, drink some coffee and wake
up a bit. We are running out of oil, so fast that we have 
to resort to stupidity like deep water drilling and raping 
Alaska for it's tar sands when really we should be cutting 
back and looking for alternatives. 

But how will that sit with the average American voter? Not 
very well is my guess, so unless the US wants to take steps
to stop being the world number one gas guzzler they should 
shut up and get used to the fact that oil is going to become
both more scarce, more expensive and potentially more dangerous
to extract in the *very* near future.

Rick, I could use friend for when I come to FF.  For now, I can tell the
world that I love this car.  I won't get it until next week, until then I'm
driving a suped up Ford phony SUV.  I drove the car home and back to the
dealer.  The car has none of the problems I had with my former Camry.  The
2007 Camry was built like a ship.  I complained to the sales manager on the
way home and he told me that I was the billionth complainer about the 2007.
I couldn't see anywhere.  Every time I parked that car, I scraped the bottom
front.  The Camry Hybrid has electronic driving assist so you don't get the
driving a boat effect.  You tell the car to turn and it turns.   You tell it
to accelerate and it does.  I don't want to speak ill of that which gave
it's life to save mine, but I hated that car every day I owned it.  I was
planning to trade it in just about the time it decided to hydroplane and cut
across 4 lanes of traffic and take me on a ride through the back yards of a
few dozen people.  It drove until it tore itself apart.  The sales manager
assures me that the new hybrid would not allow the journey through Hell to
happen.

[FairfieldLife] Physicists get hint of multiple "god" particles!

2010-06-16 Thread Hugo



Before anyone gets carried away, the term "God particle" wasn't coined
by Peter Higgs the theorist who first proposed the Higgs boson. Its
theistic nickname was coined by the editor of Nobel-prize winning
physicist Leon Lederman, but Higgs himself wasn't happy with the label
and found it embarrassing because: "it is the kind of misuse of
terminology which I think might offend some people".

Lederman wanted to refer to it as that 'goddamn particle' but his editor
felt it would hurt sales of his book. Higgs just refers to it as "The
particle named after me."


US experiment hints at 'multiple God particles'  By Paul Rincon
Science reporter, BBC News  [DZero (Fermilab)]  The idea comes from
results gathered by the DZero experiment
There may be multiple versions of the elusive "God particle" - or Higgs
boson - according to a new study.

Finding the Higgs is the primary aim of the £6bn ($10bn) Large Hadron
Collider (LHC) experiment near Geneva.

But recent results from the LHC's US rival suggest physicists could be
hunting five particles, not one.

The data may point to new laws of physics beyond the current accepted
theory - known as the Standard Model.

The Higgs boson's nickname comes from its importance to the Standard
Model; it is the sub-atomic particle which explains why all other
particles have mass.

However, despite decades trying, no-one, so far, has detected it.

The idea of multiple Higgs bosons is supported by results gathered by
the DZero experiment at the Tevatron particle accelerator, operated by
Fermilab in Illinois, US.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Richard C. Hoagland reports on BP oil spill gas bubble

2010-06-16 Thread authfriend
OK, look, at the end of the Higgins post he says:

"Even members of 'The Oil Drum' are now acknowledging
the leaks of oil and gas coming from the sea floor."

That's true, *some* commenters on TOD thought the videos
showed oil/gas leaks coming from cracks in the sea floor.

But not all TOD commenters are all that knowledgeable. In
the next open thread after the one Higgins links to, this
"dooomsday scenario" was taken up again and pretty
thoroughly trashed by the folks there who *are*
knowledgeable.

With regard to the videos, they point out that the ROV does
not seem to be looking at seafloor but rather at pieces of
debris from the sunken rig, in which may still be trapped
pockets of oil and gas, probably from the rig's tanks, that
are being flushed out by the current and/or the ROV's 
thrusters.

In any case, there wouldn't be any cracked rock at the
seafloor because the seafloor there is all silt and
sediment, no rocks. It's so soft that when they begin
drilling, they don't have to actually drill; they just
push the pipe into the silt for the first some hundreds
of feet.

The dougr post in the thread Higgins links to also has
rather glaring factual errors, such as claiming that
casing is absent and that there were no rupture disks
in it (a rupture disk is a sort of relief valve). Both
assertions are incorrect.

Plus which, another commenter gave a detailed explanation
for why even if there has been a casing breach and there
is some oil coming up through the seafloor, it wouldn't
pose anywhere near the problems dougr outlined in his post
(details much too technical to go into here).

They also point out that the post by dougr that presented
the scenario was plagiarized from a post on a site that
advertises itself as being concerned with "UFOs/conspiracy
theorists/lunatic fringe." The site has a lengthy disclaimer
at the bottom. Excerpts:

-

Bottom line: If there's a particular doomsday scenario or
conspiracy theory the validity of which you're curious
about, I would strongly suggest registering at The Oil Drum--

http://www.theoildrum.com

--and asking the experts there for their opinion. (Best to
first do a search of the site for relevant keywords; chances
are the scenario has already been discussed there.)

If a legitimate doomsday scenario ever emerges, the folks
there will most definitely be discussing it as such. So
you could just hang around and wait to see if anything like
that turns up. Or, since I plan on continuing to read the
discussions, I promise to let you know if there's anything
you should start worrying about.

I'll tell you one thing you *can* worry about, and that's
the safety of the vessels gathered around the well site.
With all the oil and gas that's being transferred between
one vessel and another--and greater quantities will be
transferred in the near future--it wouldn't take much to
set off an explosion.

The administration is pushing BP hard to achieve "redundancy"
with the various containment and transport vessels. But the
more vessels in that small area, the greater the chance of
an accident, including one that could destroy the setup at
the wellhead under the surface. Rough weather is also a big
concern in this regard.

This is a very tricky, dangerous operation. There's no need
to make it appear worse by buying into fantastical doomsday
scenarios imagined by folks who don't know what they're
talking about.

I didn't quit too soon, I didn't think it was relevant to 
what we were talking about.

Finding a way through problems is all part of life but I
don't see how your story invalidates what you learnt as
a physicist in any way. Sure you may have been better off
studying psychology as far as your depression went but the
sub-atomic world is still there and unaffected by anything 
we do (no matter what Nils Bohr thought).

As I say, I do practise this self-exploration and it does 
help but there isn't any similarity between that and any of
the physical sciences, they are different classes of things.
Poems are great for mental nourishment but understanding
how the brain works has proved to be anything but intuitive,
it was only a few hundred years ago that the best guess on 
what the brain was for was cooling blood as it went round 
the body!

What you say about self-development has it's place but we 
were talking about scientific discovery, and the greatest
advances in our understanding of the world have come from 
scientific method not meditating. but your personal 
discoveries about how to live a happier life may very well 
have. I enjoy the process but don't think the experiences
are part of any revelation of the actual physical world as 
it would be outside of my head. I don't think consciousness
is fundamental to the universe but is a macro level function
of the brain, therefore I think we only kid ourselves that 
we have an experience of the unified field.

It's all in the mind, I think we need to understand out how 
consciousness works before we get carried away with ascribing
heavenly metaphors to how it feels when we bend it out of 
shape when meditating.

[FairfieldLife] Bhagavad-Gita

2010-06-16 Thread Thomas Olson
Is there a commentary beyond ch. 6 in book form re the Bhagavad-Gita by 
Maharishi?



[FairfieldLife] Re: God is objective and scientific ! => hey Hugo, you quit too soon

2010-06-16 Thread anatol_zinc
hey Hugo, you quit too soon and missed the good part; you keep asking
for proof of one spiritual principle; here i  give you one and ask you
to become a real scientist in your own life not in your head believing
others:

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; nothing wins unless all win; if only one wins,
sure disaster as in oil spill

alexhiggins732 — June 13, 2010 — Starts off slow - but gets NASTY! ROV films 
oil leak coming from cracks in a ROCK on the sea floor.

BP denies that oil or gas are leaking from cracks in the sea floor on the 
bottom of the Gulf of Mexico.

This is just one of many videos that may prove otherwise.

The video here seems to skip frames so here are two slow motion clips that show 
that this is definitely not silt being kicked up by the ROV.

If your still not convinced check out 2:47 in the video and watch the globs of 
oil float across the screen.

Follow this story here:

This video was recorded from the Viking Poseidon -- ROV 1 on June 13th, 2010 at 
2:58 AM EST.

[FairfieldLife] Obama gets tough with BP

2010-06-16 Thread Hugo


http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/jun/15/barack-obama-oval-office-address-bp-oil-spill

I think getting tough on polluting companies is a great 
idea. How about getting Union Carbide to clean up Bophal 
and pay some decent compensation there. And make Texaco pay
for the appalling environmental damage and abuse they 
inflicted on the indigenous people in Ecuador.

And then we can all sit back, drink some coffee and wake
up a bit. We are running out of oil, so fast that we have 
to resort to stupidity like deep water drilling and raping 
Alaska for it's tar sands when really we should be cutting 
back and looking for alternatives. 

But how will that sit with the average American voter? Not 
very well is my guess, so unless the US wants to take steps
to stop being the world number one gas guzzler they should 
shut up and get used to the fact that oil is going to become
both more scarce, more expensive and potentially more dangerous
to extract in the *very* near future.

Funny thing is the world he describes was discovered scient-
ifically via theory and experimentation, it bears no relation 
to any of the ancient texts I ever read. Which is the point 
I've been making, received wisdom doesn't actually teach us 
anything meaningful about the objective (or even subjective) 
world you need careful experiments to do that.

Just changing the name of a poorly understood level of nature
to "god" doesn't prove that the ancients were right about 
anything *unless* they both predicted the parameters we are 
now discovering *and* can show that this level of nature actually
has any of the traditionally associated features of a supreme
being.

Until then I think what they are doing is ascribing the term 
"god" to something they don't fully understand as a way of 
hopefully explaining it. Which historically has been god's
job, it's just now, thanks to scientific enquiry, his job doesn't
include much at all beyond controlling the trajetory of a few
sub-atomic particles and making it all look random.

For the very last time: The difference between science and 
religion is that science can and will and does change it's 
mind when new information comes in. We wouldn't be where we 
are in our understanding of nature without this fact.

B, Maggie Thatch on FFL, whatever next! I get a shiver down
my spine when I hear that voice, reminds me of growing up in one
of the many deep recessions that woman inflicted on this country,
high unemployment, no investment in public services. "It's for 
your own good!" They'd cry, "Unemployment is a price worth paying"
if it doesn't affect you perhaps.

Still, she was right about the end of the trade union rundown 
70's, their own worst enemies that lot, didn't know when to stop.
Boy it was tough in those days and now they are back. The Tories
are in power and it's business as usual, watch the exodus of those few with 
enough money to escape.




[FairfieldLife] Importance of practising siddhis?

2010-06-16 Thread cardemaister

>From Taimni's comment on YS III 15:

The Yogic philosophy takes a more sensible and scientific
view [than "Western" science]. It considers the whole of
the manifested Universe as a cosmos. It declares emphatically
that all phenomena within this Universe - superphysical as
well as physical - are subject to natural laws which work
with mathematical precision. It provides the means by which
the superphysical phenomena can be investigated and the 
underlying laws discovered. The student is thus not only
free to decide which is the more rational view of the 
Universe but also *to test by his own experiences and experiments
which is the correct view*. [emph. added]
