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. Superman had kryptonite, but an 
intellectual's shield of self-assurance cannot be breached by any known 
substance, especially fact"

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 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.

I'm not convinced.  I will be if the book survives 
without having something "accidentally"spilled on
it, "accidentally" lost, put on endless hold,
or otherwise taken out of commission.

Who is "we"?  And what "values" do you think *you're*
fostering when you name-call and refer to people you
disagree with as "denizens" and their very valid

RE: [FairfieldLife] The Library and The Book

[Rick Archer]

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
 .

 

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.

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.

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: Tiger's Nest and kumbhaya mantra

[emptybill]

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. You know, like
koombhaya mantra … in a Rodney King kind of way of course. ~>;-) >

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".

[FairfieldLife] The Library and The Book

[krysto]

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

Sorry to clue you in E Bill, but it's well known that the back wall to the 
Tiger's Nest (Tib.: spa phro stag tshang) is actually the septic system for the 
monastery built by the Terton and Alchemist 'g stan bu' ston (890-894).'G stan 
bu' ston had at a early date created not only a remarkable engineering endeavor 
extending into seemingly solid rock, but also invented his own iron-based 
alloys that were made to last way beyond what conventional structures were 
known to provide.

The only thing comparable are the remarkable iron bridges of Tibet, although I 
don't think anyone ever mistook them for pure realms, whatever their vision 
told them.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Hawking: God did not create the Universe

[emptybill]

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. They show a lot of arrogance and do so without any sense of
self-reflection. Hawkings is now a poster boy for this kind of shallow
thinking.

right

While largely concurring with the interpretations of the
Tattva-Vaisharadi, Bhoja occasionally offers original exegetical
observations.


Patanjali's Yoga Aphorisms, or Yoga Sutras, are rather like algebraic

formulas. They are hardly comprehensible without a commentary. The

commentary of Bhoja Raja is the clearest and simplest one known, and
thus

was chosen by the first translators of the Yoga Sutras. The better known

commentary by Vyasa, and its sub-commentaries, are more complex and

difficult. Here is the first, and still the only complete translation of

Bhoja Raja's commentary. 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.

Well stated. IMO, there's no cosmic excuse for this behavior. The best
explanation I've heard is Ken Wilber's "lines of development" theory, where
one may be highly advanced along certain lines (development of consciousness
or some inner state) yet not advanced in behavioral or other areas. Some of
these gurus seem no more developed than your average decadent rock star in
terms of moral values.

right...and has very important (imo) implications for the nature of Gurudom
- the "Satguru" - in relationship to long-held beliefs regarding the nature
of Enlightenment. Related topics would be:
...
a. Adi Da and the story of Crazy Wisdom. Can "Crazy" behavior (getting
drunk, taking drugs,... lots of fornication with married women); be
rationalized as somehow Dharmic and therefore "Crazy" or rather really
crazy.
I'd say fwiw - such behavior is "really" crazy; and this would apply to
MMY's behavior. However, Adi Da made an issue of this, not MMY.

b. assuming people in Unity are Enlightened (in itself, not a very secure
assumption); can we can that E'd people are incapable of Adharmic acts? That
is, acts on the part of such persons may have the appearance of Adharmicity,
even criminal behavior; but their actions are "really" good for everyone?
...
Nope - again, strike out: imo - their actions have to be judged on the same
basis as we would judge the behavior of ordinary folks.

c. Touchie-feelies are activing one's Kundalini (an excuse used by followers
of Sai Baba and possibly Muktananda).
Again, pure bullshit.

d. The "Doer" argument: E'd people being Self-Realized have transcendended
Doership and whatever acts are taking place are merely the play of unspent
karma.
Nope - hypothetical speculation not matching reality.
I'd say the premise is wrong since the Doer is STILL a body/mind with a
name. Need I spell it out: T-H-E M-A-H-A-R-E-E-S-H-E-E.
He was the doer of his own karma, not only manifesting actions represented
by previously sown karma; but (like ordinary folks); creating new BAD karma
along the say.
In general, this is a tenet of karma in the Nichiren School:
karma that is manifesting in some realm is BOTH an effect of previous
"causes" set into motion and ALSO the source of new karma.
...
So, MMY set new bad karma into motion and he'll have to pay the Piper...the
Pied Piper; since he acted in roll leading many down the wrong rabbit hole

For a scientist, Hawking makes a lot of stupid comments.  He's either trying to

He's making science the new religion of the masses.  His statements are full of

Way worse. Palin makes Bush look like a genius.

Ah, another poor, betrayed victim of the fiend that was MMY. So MMY told us 
"that we all should avoid relationships." He did? That's news to me, and I was

[FairfieldLife] A friend's comments on The Book

[Rick Archer]

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. I've got a big lump in my throat and can't deal with
any more of that book tonight. Little bites, little bites.

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."

Romney is a Mormon which would make it difficult for him to win and 
considered too liberal for others like the Idiocrats.  I believe he is 
pro-choice.

I will be shopping for a new country if they Idiocrats elect Palin but

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. Suddenly, Pirro became a punch line.

[Joe]

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.)

IMO of course.

No, certainly we are more noble than just the bunch of mere money-changers and 
sharks.  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,

You sound really scared, and you should be. Repugs
will probably take back the house in a matter of
months.

But it will probably be that Mitt Romney and Sarah 
Palin who will beat the pants off Barack Obama and 
Joe Biden. Let's hope so, before Obama bankrupts 
the whole country!

describe it again. Gee, thanks. :-)

Sounds like you're describing those fresh cheese curds they make at the cheese 
factory up in Kalona. When they're really fresh, they squeak when you bite down 
on them. The next day, though, the squeak is gone.

[FairfieldLife] Google Guru Tries Meditation

[PaliGap]

You might say that Matt Cutts is the geek's geek. He
provides a "public face" for Google - a contact & feed
for issues of web site search optimization, as well as
blogging on technology issues generally.

Anyhoo he has recently been setting himself a series
of 30 day challenges:

June: I didn't respond to email after 10 p.m. and I
read the New Testament of the Bible

July: I tried to use only cloud-based software

August: I took a picture a day

"September: This month, I plan to meditate or quietly
reflect for 15 minutes a day. I started today, and quickly
learned that quieting my thoughts is pretty hard. I lasted
about 2.5 minutes before so many to-do items were bouncing
around in my brain that I had to take a break and write a
bunch down before restarting. But I did enjoy my first session.
I also managed to get my pulse rate pretty low. Now I have to
avoid the trap of seeing how low I can get my pulse to go and
just enjoy the quiet.

Feel free to join me in my challenge this month–at only 15
minutes a day, it's a pretty good way to try out a 30 day
challenge!"

They just hate that woman, Sarah Palin!

They sound really afraid of Sarah's power 
and they're running scared. It's almost
pathetic to read what they have to say
about women in power positions. 

It's like they just have to be 'on top' 
of everything, thrusting their way to 
their own juvenile, selfish sense 
enjoyment.

Oh, the outrage - women of power over the
men that lust after them! 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..."

Why don't you just stop feeding it?

Yeah, what's screwed up on this thread,
besides Judith, are the people posting
comments who obviously have not even read 
the book! Go figure. 

What a bunch of stinkin' liars. Friends 
that turn their back on their teacher and 
spread malicious gossip - the lowest of 
the low. 

Can't even keep their word on a pledge to 
keep the teaching pure.

his way of subtly displaying his 
leshavidya to the world." - Vaj

Yep, same distinction now between Master John Douglas on the one hand and the 
hindoo-looking saints like, Mother Meera on the other. Visiting the 
hindu-looking ones gets you thrown out, on grounds of "confusing".

Is okay for a big-wig donor to bring in spiritual teacher Master John Douglas 
to Fairfield, is not okay for common govs and TM teachers whether recertified, 
not-certified or de-certified to go see other saints in the same genre as Vedic 
TM.   Fairfield and the TM-movement 'is for those who have faith and belief in 
Maharaishi', like Bevan's.

Fairfield is 'Maharishi's ashram'. These Non-vedic healers and shamans teaching 
spiritual techniques aside, it is a 'dis-respect' of Maharishi that these other 
hindoo-looking saints would come to Fairfield and try to steal Maharishi's 
followers away.


Like Mother Meera:

Yep, as conservative meditators that is how we language and feel it.  These 
guidelines go way back and are there to protect the Knowledge and the 
community.  Those who don't feel this way should leave.

Jai Guru Dev,

Yeah, but you're channeling it, so you get the credit.
Sorta like the way JZ Knight takes credit for "Ramtha's"
...uh...teachings. :-)

As a former Parisian myself, I noticed that. But I didn't
deduct any points because you stuck the landing. :-)

But only if made from a deer who walked up to her and dropped
dead at her feet, right? Like the myth of MMY's deerskin. :-)

I want an episode about Mrs. King's first experiences 
eating out in Iowa restaurants. I fully expect you to 
do justice to the look on her face when she sees what
Americans call "French dressing" and sees the wine list
for the first time. "What ees this 'Ripple,' cheri...
is it one of those wines from Languedoc that we hear
about but would never try?"
