She smelled very beautiful, used oils and perfumes, that were subtle... Smell has a lot to do with sexual attraction... They have done experiments with heterosexuals and homosexuals, that show that heterosexuals are attracted to the smell of the opposite sex, while homosexuals are attracted to the smell of the same sex... After I'd done siddhi-s for a couple of weeks at home (1979) I one night woke up and noticed the skin of my arms smelled like, hmm...perhaps roses. According to one yoga-upaniSad (can't recall which one) accomplished yogis (paraphrasing) make women crazy of lust, or stuff. I guess that has lots to do with how they (the yogis) smell due to brahmacarya and stuff.

And that Turq, can't even make sense of his own narcissism, still chasing after 'blondes' in Amsterdam after all these years. Go figure. Narcissism is the personality trait of egotism, vanity, conceit, or simple selfishness. Applied to a social group, it is sometimes used to denote elitism or an indifference to the plight of others... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissism 'Democrats face midterm meltdown' http://tinyurl.com/2axcyhc Guys, guys, catch your breath. I have to wonder why one little gossipy tabloid tale about the private life of the Palins should get you so worked up. Is it contempt for women in general or just ambitious women who don't know their place that has your knickers in such a twist? Why is everyone so quick to believe Sarah tried to bean Todd with a can of tuna? If her stainless-steel fridge looked like it had sustained artillery fire, it doesn't make sense there isn't a record of domestic violence, or a hospital admission.

She has always struck me as similar to the thousands of starlets one meets in L.A., seeking desperately to overcome the stench (as they perceive it) of obscurity, unaware that the smell comes from within. The only thing that keeps her in the public eye is the public's own tabloid fascination with fame and those who make the papers. The American public are attention sluts, willing to give their attention to anyone who makes Page One. But attention sluts are fickle, and always need someone new and interesting (to them) to focus on and obsess on, and Sarah just doesn't have the depth or breadth of experience to *stay* on Page One. The attention addiction is a fascinating one IMO, on both sides -- the need of some people to suck it, and the need in others to give it away. Both phenomena are fueled in my opinion by a perceived *lack* in their lives and the belief that that lack would be eliminated if only. If only I were more famous I'd feel better.

Buck I know it's always been about more than money for you, for me and for most everyone. But at the core of the Shrivasta/Varma clan values, greed and the pursuit of money strike me as being paramount, based on the history of so many things that you yourself cataloged on FFL. The multiple fund raisers for everything from the kids school to the pandits where the bulk of the money goes to the Indian TMO (aka the Shrivastava/Varma clan.)

Of course the larger hope in hosting these supposed spiritual leader indigenous people (even the supposed maha-lady saints from the East) is to turn them from their poor and darkened ways with the light of meditation. Well, some of those guys in the middle look at it only as money. However, it is just way deeper, scientific, spiritual and more altruistic than about money.

But the same TMO casts out and bans those who visit or have interest in other Indian saints. So, it's cool as long as your shamans and holy people aren't from India apparently. What lunacy!

How about a Jan Brewer/Palin ticket?: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/09/02/jan-brewer-starts-badly-f_n_703559.html First Posted: 09- 2-10 12:15 PM | Updated: 09- 2-10 03:12 PM Last night, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer got down to debatin' with her opponent, Democratic Attorney General Terry Goddard, and Ben Smith has video of Brewer's opening statement which could charitably be called a complete and utter disaster. Brewer's inability to, you know -- introduce herself, thank the debate sponsors, and welcome viewers at home -- hit a snag when her train of thought derailed, leaving dead-air gaps that rival any of the ones on the Arizona-Mexico border. WATCH: It's like she forgot her book report was due or something! After the debate, things didn't get any better, after a reporter asked her why she wouldn't recant some insane claims she'd previously made about beheadings in the desert, Brewer responded by pretending the question wasn't even asked. Then, as every single reporter in the room piled on, she opted to flee, back the way she'd come. [H/T: Tucson Citizen] WATCH: Does Jan Brewer, in her opening statement, qualify as a headless body? UPDATE: Great research and insight from Brad Phillips at Mr. Media Training, who pulls out a similar moment from the not-too-distant past: Ms. Brewer's gaffe is reminscent of one made by Jeanine Pirro, a candidate who briefly ran for Hillary Clinton's Senate seat in 2005. From New York Magazine: Her most humiliating moment came right at the beginning, during her announcement: the now-famous 32 seconds of silence when she tried to find a misplaced page in her speech. It was the kind of horrifying who-am-I-and-why-am-I-here mishap that anyone who speaks in public has nightmares about.

He treats off the program activities with TERROR, as if he'll get slimed by contact with something Maharishi didn't approve, and thus be cast out of heaven on earth-land. Interestingly, his behavior seems to have been Do unto others the thing I fear most happening to me. The re-affirmed guidelines are ready for printing as of the last few days. Yep, Bevan's an interesting element (soldier and discyple) in this. I first met him back in the mid 1970's. He has been remarkably consistant. Someone reminded me of this quote from the 1990's. (1994) I still vividly remember him delivering this, watching from very close by as he worked this. Was a watershed moment in the arc of the TM movement and noteworthy even at the time. Bevan's TM doctrine of faith: You will recall that Bevan returned to Fairfield around July 1st and stayed through the start of the Guru Purnima course. During his visit, he methodically worked his way through MIU faculty, students, and staff, and the TSR community declaring to each group: 1) That our friends and neighbors who were on the various working groups created by Keith's initiative to address improvements in the community were enemies of the movement, 2) asserted the party line that all the issues had been taken care of, 3a) asserted that the movement is for those who have faith and belief in Maharishi (rebuffing the old premise for participation, that anyone who could think could meditate and supplanting his new doctrine of faith!) and 3b) Encouraged the non-believers to leave, 4) Raised the dome fees to $100 @ month, 5) Locked out of that Guru Purnima celebration, with no prior notice, scores of loyal long-time governors and sidhas, 6) Reaffirmed the old guard of the President's Office, and 7) abruptly leaves town. With his tour de force, Bevan certainly gave our larger meditating community in Fairfield and around the country a lot to talk about at their 4th of July picnics! And we certainly did talk.
[FairfieldLife] A friend's comments on The Book
Got the book yesterday. I spent two hours with it today reading the first third of the book, and an hour last night reading the last part. Last night I felt mad, today I feel like crying. It hurts so much to hear direct about the fraud that he was. Wanting to know if he should go for prime minister or spiritual guru. It just hurts in a very tender place that so trusted that man and believed in him and everything he told us. I was a trusting fool. Still am to some degree, I'm afraid. All the time he was screwing girls behind our backs, while we were so full of exalted dreams, sacrificing everything human to be spiritual. And he was using our hard-earned money to buy his lovers gold necklaces and see-through saris. You know, we know this stuff about him, but when it's right there in your face, with his letters and his photos, and the innocence side by side ... sweet Jerry Jarvis, the other innocents ... all these good, misled people we believed in and trusted to guide us to perfection. It just brings up so much emotion. He didn't just betray the women he fucked with. He betrayed us all. Not because it's bad to have sex. Of course it isn't that. It's because he told us that he was a lifelong celibate, that we all should avoid relationships, that sex impeded spiritual development. It's because he used women and dumped them like whores, all the while lying to all of us about what is true and important and right. In a very real sense, I myself feel violated, seduced, raped and dumped. In the most intimate way that can happen - spiritually.

Although not an easy text, it provides what is perhaps the most comprehensible description of the ancient science of meditation found in the Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali. see http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/photos/album/51392758/pic/li\ st or buy at http://www.vedicbooks.net/yogasutras-of-patanjali-with-bhojavrtti-called\ -rajamartanda-p-14242.html http://tinyurl.com/2czpcgy http://www.amazon.co.jp/Yoga-Aphorisms-Patanjali-Commentary-Bhoja/dp/089\ 5819880/ref=sr_1_3?s=english-booksie=UTF8qid=1283434868sr=1-3 http://tinyurl.com/2e9h8aq BTW Bhoja-Vritti also called RAJA-MARTANDA (Royal Sun); a commentary by King Bhoja on the Yoga-Bhashya.

Very few scientists have any training in Western philosophy, much less Eastern. The same goes for training (or even basic classes) in the philosophy of science. Most of them look even more foolish when they open their mouths and demonstrate how totally ignorant they are about theology.

[FairfieldLife] The Library and The Book
I wrote to Rebecca Huggins, director of the Fairfield Library, asking why she decided not to include the donated copy of Robes of Silk, Feet of Clay in the collection. I stressed the importance of freedom of expression. She then invited me to come talk with her, which I did today. Here is what happened, from her point of view. 1. Rick Archer brought her the book, and strongly urged her to read it first, then offer it in the library. She took it home, but was unable to find time to read it right away, as a couple of staff members were out sick and she was working very long hours. 2. She says she never decided that the book would not be added to the collection. However, the library board has established guidelines for deciding whether a new book should be offered, and a key point is that the book has had some authoritative published reviews. Authoritative was not the word she used, I think, but I cannot recall the exact word - it was along those lines. It's harder for a self-published book to qualify for this, obviously, although many self-published books manage to get such reviews. So on this basis, the book may have been destined to sit on the sidelines at least until some reviews were available (I assume reviews on Fairfield Life do not qualify). 3. She seems to take her position very seriously, and also feels strongly about freedom of expression. She says that she is dead-against censorship. Someone came in a while back insisting that she remove a book that was very critical of Obama, telling her that she had a parental role for the community that she was not fulfilling by letting such wrong-headed books into the library. This book happened to have been a NYT best seller, often reviewed. She did not bend to that pressure to censor, and she insists that censorship played no role in the process with the Robes of Silk book either. 4. She received enough requests from people - or complaints (many of them probably inspired by FFLife) - that she took the matter to the Regional Librarian. She was given a go-ahead to offer the book, and was told that sometimes the will of the people overrides standard policies. And the book was added to the library collection. I detected absolutely no sense in Rebecca that she regrets the book being in the library, or that she wishes there could have been a way to keep it out. She could easily have stuck to the policy and not asked the Regional Librarian if she simply wanted to block the book. As she said, there are thousands of books in the library that she personally disagrees with very deeply. But as Director, she has no desire or intention to make the collection correspond with her personal beliefs or values. Let me close by saying that some of the denizens of Fairfield Life once again showed their nastiness and their terribly small-mindedness in the rush to judgment about Rebecca. A striking lack of willingness to find out what is really going on, preferring instead to apply snap judgments and to wail and posture and go on the attack. This is sad, and I think rather destructive of some of the values I personally wish we could be fostering.
[FairfieldLife] Re: The Library and The Book
One thing to add: Rebecca seemed genuinely puzzled by what would motivate people to claim publicly that she is a banner of books, people who do not know her and do not know anything about the situation. I have seen much worse on this forum than the treatment of Rebecca. I could give her no good answer, other than this is something a certain group of people on FFLife just seem to enjoy. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, krysto kry...@... wrote: I wrote to Rebecca Huggins, director of the Fairfield Library, asking why she decided not to include the donated copy of Robes of Silk, Feet of Clay in the collection.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Tiger's Nest and kumbhaya mantra
Apparently you missed this: ... or one that looks almost identical and However it is more subtle than that. Project through that apparent wall ... I am pretty sure that shit on a ledge or in a septic tank is not more subtle than that. However, the tank sounds interesting. What is your source on the septic system? I wondered how they did it since Tibetan yogins on mountain retreats like to kid each about not being able to accomplish more than leaving a pile of shit on the mountain ledges. BTW, Meteora in Greece has monasteries that look similarly suspended. Pretty sure they are not doors to Shambhala though. Ever been to any part of the Shambhala mandala? All of this description is developed out of Bailey's mythos of the Vaishaka gathering. Give it a try. Maybe you and Nab could finally get along.

RE: [FairfieldLife] The Library and The Book
Thank you for doing this. I'm somewhat guilty of your closing point, having reacted emotionally to a friend's report of having been told by Rebecca that she was not shelving the book without reviews because it was too inflammatory. I should have heard it from the horse's mouth. The book is now checked out with one hold request http://firewall.fairfield.lib.ia.us/TLCScripts/interpac.dll?LabelDisplayCo nfig=YSMBranch=,0,FormId=-1202RecordNumber=104104 . I wouldn't say I strongly urged her to read it first. We had a 15-minute conversation, during which she brought up a lot of doubts and questions, and I just suggested she read it, as that would answer her doubts and questions better than I could. I didn't buy the book. The guy who did asked me to bring it in, because he wanted to remain anonymous.

You know, we know this stuff about him, but when it's right there in your face, with his letters and his photos, and the innocence side by side ... sweet Jerry Jarvis, the other innocents ... all these good, misled people we believed in and trusted to guide us to perfection. It just brings up so much emotion. He didn't just betray the women he fucked with. He betrayed us all. Not because it's bad to have sex. Of course it isn't that. It's because he told us that he was a lifelong celibate, that we all should avoid relationships, that sex impeded spiritual development. It's because he used women and dumped them like whores, all the while lying to all of us about what is true and important and right. In a very real sense, I myself feel violated, seduced, raped and dumped. In the most intimate way that can happen - spiritually.

I have seen much worse on this forum than the treatment of Rebecca. I could give her no good answer, other than this is something a certain group of people on FFLife just seem to enjoy. (snip_) I don't see how Rebecca would be puzzled, by what would motivate people, having been involved with the TM movement, considering how they ban not only books but people. As, I said earlier, it would be necessary to go to her boss, or to get her motivated to go to her boss, to get results. R.G.

Dim-witted is the general American political consciousness. Sarah Palin is a convenient seductive distraction, for the American Media at this point.. The median intelligence of the American people, I've heard is about at the 6th grade level. Sarah Palin reminds me, of what it was like to be in 6th grade and the issues concerning 6th graders...

I'm not sure if America will line up to re-elect the current supremo who truely is the very definition of an intellectual In short: an intellectual is a self-inflated, self-congratulatory, lover of self; a person so in thrall to beautiful theories that he is incapable of correction and impervious to evidence.

What I'm concerned about is that a fucking dim-whited anti-intellectual, fraud is moving towards a presidential run. Obama vs. Palin might be a more certain win for Obama than Obama vs. Romney, or some other credible candidate. The contrast between Obama and Palin would certainly be stark. It might bring back to the voting booth the liberals who were expecting miracles from Obama and are now disillusioned. Hell, some Republicans might even vote for him, for fear that a Palin presidency would irreparably damage their party, and make the US the laughing stock of the world.
