The outed lizard quickly covered up the momentary lapse of control by telling everyone that she'd had a #1 experience of LC, the state of consciousness beyond UC and BC. When people asked what LC was, she told them that Maharishi had spoken of it in a talk given shortly before he died, and that he even said in the talk that Lizard Consciousness was so advanced that only the highest in the room would remember being told about it. At that point several people piled on and said that they remembered the Lizard Consciousness talk, too, and that they had had similar #1 experiences, but hadn't mentioned them yet because they were trying to be humble and not offend the lesser-evolved. The incident was forgotten within hours, as everyone went back to waiting for the flying technique to actually work and making up #1 experiences. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb no_reply@ wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, curtisdeltablues curtisdeltablues@ wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, danfriedman2002 danfriedman2002@ wrote: But Curtis, What you are saying is that Rick reported gossip years ago, which later appeared in a book by the gossiper.

Regarding the phrase 'hearing voices', some 40 plus years ago the psychologist Julian Janes came up with a theory that at one time the human brain thinking process was metaphorically divided into two parts, called the bicameral mind, and that this mind (i.e., brain processing) evolutionarily not as integrated as our current state, at least when the person experienced novel situations, resulted in people hearing more unconscious mental processes as voices - auditory hallucinations - which commanded them to action. This division has since disappeared by modern times. The disappearance is called the breakdown of the bicameral mind and is marked by the development of introspective thinking and our ideas of consciousness. I am equivocating here, you were talking about a 'writer's voice'. But this group here is pretty weird. Some of us still have Neanderthal genetic material passed down to us.

I can say today that I am grateful for the opportunity to be received by Amma and experience what I did at the Amma event. In trying to make sense of it all and put it in some objective context, I have spent hours online (in part, educating myself in the cursory fashion that the internet facilitates so well) on Hinduism, the guru tradition, and various individual gurus. I have spent hours reading posts elucidating a vast range in experiences. Yes, my fear base and trust issues were triggered, which you picked up on.

However, today, I simply cannot judge or choose to negate anyone's experience or path...it is certainly not my place and I am most certainly not qualified. I have spent my entire life believing that I was not qualified to live my life and did not deserve to be here. I want relief. I think that basicallygiven what I was told prior to attending the Amma visit, I set up internal and high expectations that were, of course, not met. I am in recovery on all levels since being laid off in January (by the grace of God)...my stress level was so high that I can't even articulate the despair and desperation, physical, mental and emotional exhaustion I was experiencing. After 6 months off, I am just starting to be able to function again - every month, another layer of stress exfoliates and beacon of light shines through. I am coming out of 18 years of working like a dog for corporate america, raising my kids (the last five being the teenage years - it's lucky we fall madly in love when they are born and little), realizing as I spiraled into deep depression and pain on all levels, that I have to completely change my way of living and relating to the world and myself. Yes, I went to Amma praying for a miracle or two...desperately wanting to feel what unconditional love and compassion felt like on a personal level. Yes, I was hit with energy - or shakti, persay - it didn't feel personal. I felt betrayed to some extent by the whole production for many reasons I've already articulated, but in the end, I am glad I went and the primary lesson that was reiterated to me was that I am left with myself and my relationship to the world, the Universe, God. Establishing and claiming my identity and the right to be on this planet in this lifetime is hard for me. What I have realized (and this is not the first time) is that I was again searching outside myself for the answer - that I wanted relief and self-forgiveness from something or someone else who was more evolved than I - that I have never felt self-love or worthy, or complete in any fashion. I was raised by narcissists, began to self-hate at a very early age and have attempted to escape through a variety of ways my entire life. I hate the word should; I am tired of being told what and how to be. I don't want to follow anyone. I get to decide - that is my birthright. I am tired of reacting rebelliously in an effort to differentiate instead of with respect to self and others. I have decided that I cannot worry about how many more thousands of lifetimes I will be condemned to return to the planet to work through my karma, nor do I want to aspire to transcending or enlightenment or preparing for the afterlife as a primary goal, and in particular as defined by others. I want to love my life now and attain and maintain a state of gratitude. I want to feel a connected, peaceful, engaged part of life and revel in the joy of being human.

What I have realized (and this is not the first time) is that I was again searching outside myself for the answer - that I wanted relief and self-forgiveness from something or someone else who was more evolved than I - that I have never felt self-love or worthy, or complete in any fashion.  I was raised by narcissists, began to self-hate at a very early age and have attempted to escape through a variety of ways my entire life. I hate the word should; I am tired of being told what and how to be.  I don't want to follow anyone.  I get to decide - that is my birthright. I am tired of reacting rebelliously in an effort to differentiate instead of with respect to self and others. I have decided that I cannot worry about how many more thousands of lifetimes I will be condemned to return to the planet to work through my karma, nor do I want to aspire to transcending or enlightenment or preparing for the afterlife as a primary goal, and in particular as defined by others. I want to love my life now and attain and maintain a state of gratitude.  I want to feel a connected, peaceful, engaged part of life and revel in the joy of being human.  It's a short trip from cradle to the crypt.  Ya see,  perhaps I am integrating the experience despite myself and for myself.  Tee Hee.    * * Ha! Beautiful. Sweet, honest, and heart-warming. Integrating into integrity! Quoting Tom T's favorite sutra-meister once again, When we are established in truth, our actions achieve the desired results. When we are established in integrity, all riches present themselves. Thank you so much for sharing your feelings and process with us, Denise! I feel nourished and enriched already!
[FairfieldLife] Yet ANOTHER WI school saves thousands after kicking out Unions!
Wisconsin schools buck union to cut health costs By: Byron York | Chief Political Correspondent Follow Him @ByronYork | 07/07/11 8:05 PM Getty Images/Justin Sullivan Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker performs a ceremonial bill signing of the new budget law outside his office at the Wisconsin State Capitol on March 11, 2011 in Madison. The new law helped the Hartland-Lakeside School District save money on health care costs by switching providers. The Hartland-Lakeside School District, about 30 miles west of Milwaukee in tiny Hartland, Wis., had a problem in its collective bargaining contract with the local teachers union. The contract required the school district to purchase health insurance from a company called WEA Trust. The creation of Wisconsin's largest teachers union -- WEA stands for Wisconsin Education Association -- WEA Trust made money when union officials used collective bargaining agreements to steer profitable business its way. The problem for Hartland-Lakeside was that WEA Trust was charging significantly higher rates than the school district could find on the open market. School officials knew that because they got a better deal from United HealthCare for coverage of nonunion employees. On more than one occasion, Superintendent Glenn Schilling asked WEA Trust why the rates were so high. I could never get a definitive answer on that, says Schilling. Changing to a different insurance company would save Hartland-Lakeside hundreds of thousands of dollars that could be spent on key educational priorities -- especially important since the cash-strapped state government was cutting back on education funding. But teachers union officials wouldn't allow it; the WEA Trust requirement was in the contract, and union leaders refused to let Hartland-Lakeside off the hook. That's where Wisconsin's new budget law came in. The law, bitterly opposed by organized labor in the state and across the nation, limits the collective bargaining powers of some public employees. And it just happens that the Hartland-Lakeside teachers' collective bargaining agreement expired on June 30. So now, freed from the expensive WEA Trust deal, the school district has changed insurers. It's going to save us about $690,000 in 2011-2012, says Schilling. Insurance costs that had been about $2.5 million a year will now be around $1.8 million. What union leaders said would be a catastrophe will in fact be a boon to teachers and students. But the effect of weakening collective bargaining goes beyond money. It also has the potential to reshape the adversarial culture that often afflicts public education. In Hartland-Lakeside, there's been no war between union-busting bureaucrats on one side and impassioned teachers on the other; Schilling speaks with great collegiality toward the teachers and says with pride that they've been able to work together on big issues. But there has been a deep division between the school district and top union executives. In the health insurance talks, for example, Schilling last year began telling teachers about different insurance plans, some of which, like United HealthCare's, required a higher deductible. We involved them, and they overwhelmingly endorsed the change to United HealthCare, he says. But even with the teachers on board, when school officials presented a change-in-coverage proposal to union officials, it was immediately rejected. The costly WEA Trust deal stayed in place. Now, with the collective bargaining agreement gone, Schilling looks forward to working more closely with teachers. I would say the biggest change is we have a lot more involvement with a wider scope of teachers, he says. When collective bargaining was in effect, We dealt with a select team of teachers, a small group of three or four who were on the bargaining team, and then the union director. Any information that went to the teachers went through them. Now, we feel that we will have a direct dialogue. It's not hard to see why union officials hate the new law so much. It not only breaks up cherished and lucrative union monopolies like high-cost health insurance; it also threatens to break through the union-built wall between teachers and administrators and allow the two sides to work together more closely. The old union go-betweens, who controlled what their members could and could not hear, will be left aside. Hartland-Lakeside isn't the only school district that is pulling free from collective bargaining agreements that mandated WEA Trust coverage. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports the Pewaukee School District, not far from Hartland-Lakeside, will save $378,000 by next year by leaving WEA Trust. The Menomonee Falls School District, farther north, will reportedly save $1.3 million. Facing state cutbacks, the districts can't afford to overpay for union-affiliated coverage. Look for the unions to fight back with everything they have. If the Wisconsin

The shape shifter Bukwas never wavered from his mission. He had been sent to the lonely planet to move the apes who spoke in many tongues toward the next level of their evolution.

From - Shape shifting on a lonely planet' The lizards advocate stuff: I'm sure many FFL posters know that great fiction writers are rarely, if ever, anything like the voices they use for their stories. For example, James Joyce was a terrible stammerer and Dickens hated children. With this in mind, I'd like to share some insights I've had about a couple of FFL posters who seem to know a lot about developing effective authorial voices. Specifically, I want to share a little about the voices I'm hearing as I read Judy and Turq's posts. I think Turq sometimes shares a writing voice that absolutely nails the emotional palette of a 8 year old. Not just any 8 year old, but a 8 year old who can write brilliantly. At times, this voice includes a sense of wonder for ideas that for some of us can completely suspend any perception of the mundane one might have for old french cars driven mostly by Egyptian taxi drivers. Judy's writing voice, on the other hand, no less masterful than Turq's, seems at times to be that of a reform school mail censor, who knows Turq and believes he will eventually be an inmate in the institution where she works. Her devotion to research and detail are a marvel for any one who believes voice is everything in fiction. Not to mention her sly habit of posting after he's gone to bed.If a great hero needs a compelling nemesis we might be forgiven for thinking both of these voices were created by the same author. If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. 1 Corinthians 14:27-28

I was wondering how long it would take the Varma Crime Family to attack FFL probably in hopes of eliminating it You can probably get away with links to TMO articles but they're trying to outlaw that too. Note that if I post a link to news article I often just quote the opening because some news bureaus don't mind that and in fact some have done an interesting thing that if you copy just part of the article it will add the link to the article. Those act as a teaser. Basically you should never quote a full article without permission. If the post in question only posted a sentence or two then it should be construed as fair use.

That was a nice response Dan, thanks. The funny thing is I didn't expect the book to have the effect on me it had. It surprised me. I had as many or more preconceptions as you have raised here, so I really shouldn't be on some high horse about it with you. I expected it to give me a blasphemous giggle and that was about it. I think she took so long because it took her decades to find the right tone to express her complex and often conflicted feelings. The last thing I expected was for the book to make me feel closer to the guy with this window on his more easy to relate to normal life. Maharishi was a little older than I am now when he had this relationship, so I feel like I can understand him better than I could in my more idealistic 20's. And since my own feelings about the guy are both complex and somewhat conflicted, it rang true for me and validated a lot of those feelings.

Yesterday, I finished ¨Songs of Kabir¨translated by Arvind Krishna Mehrotra, with a Preface by Wendy Doniger. I found it delightful, full of wisdom, and FUNNY¨. I,m certain that others on this Forem would enjoy the read. I began¨Great House¨, and am on page29. The author, Nicole Krauss previously wrote ¨The Histoy of Love¨, which I loved. Both were given to me by my daughter (who, as you can expect introduces her Dad to new work). My daughter managed to get the auther to autograph Great House, and presentewd it to me on my birthday. So far, the setting is the Upper West Side of Manhattan, where I have lived for most of my life. The narrator is an author, as are many in the ´hood´´.

This request is not reasonable. And as far as Rick not coming through with facts, he backed Judith's account for years, was way ahead of the curve, and then the book came out. So I think we can drop the tired innuendo routine now. What Rick is prone to is having an open mind. He has created a place where atheist's can interact with the formerly enlightened as well as the currently whatever. Not too shabby IMO. Although we have come down in different places concerning spirituality, I have respect for the integrity of the process that lead him to his own different conclusions. And if he smells smoke, I'm betting on fire soon to come. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Sal Sunshine salsunshine@ wrote: On Jun 28, 2011, at 8:19 PM, danfriedman2002 wrote: Your request for a picture of a sign is a good one.

And do you really think with all the paranoia in the TMO they'd let someone take pictures? You ask for evidence that I'm pretty sure you know nobody can supply. Therefore, for you the situation doesn't exist. If that works for you, great. Sal

Wish I could live uo to that reputation. In fact, as the current trouble unfolded, I secured myself in my hotel, and haven´t gone out. You will probably notice the vast # of posts (for me).

Curtis, I grok your feelings, but, as different people are differrent, my feelings for Maharishi are neither complex, nor conflicted. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, curtisdeltablues curtisdeltablues@... wrote: That was a nice response Dan, thanks. The funny thing is I didn't expect the book to have the effect on me it had. It surprised me. I had as many or more preconceptions as you have raised here, so I really shouldn't be on some high horse about it with you. I expected it to give me a blasphemous giggle and that was about it. I think she took so long because it took her decades to find the right tone to express her complex and often conflicted feelings. The last thing I expected was for the book to make me feel closer to the guy with this window on his more easy to relate to normal life. Maharishi was a little older than I am now when he had this relationship, so I feel like I can understand him better than I could in my more idealistic 20's. And since my own feelings about the guy are both complex and somewhat conflicted, it rang true for me and validated a lot of those feelings.

No personal intimacies, and gossip free!

[FairfieldLife] Return of the nickelodeon?
Vudu.com that I occasionally rent streaming movies from to watch on my Bluray player had a 99 cent feature where daily they would offer a film for 99 cents. Recently some of these were fairly new releases. For the last two days they have been offering 5 cent movies. Today's 5 cent feature is Jumper. You can also watch Vudu on a computer too. Now I do need to warn you that last year Walmart bought Vudu so if you hate Walmart then you may not want to patronize Vudu. http://www.vudu.com/movies/Movies.html And I don't know how long the 5 cent deals will last. Since my Acer a500 Android tablet got upgraded to 3.1 the other night I now have the Google Videos app installed. Supposedly this will allow me to rent movies off the Android Market to watch. I haven't tried it yet because I wanted to pick up a mini-HDMI cable so when I do try it I can finish the film by hooking up the tablet to my big screen TV. Well unfortunately Fry's was out of reasonably priced $10 min-HDMI cables and people had also cleaned out the $13 ones too. A clerk even checked to see if there were more in the back. HDMI cables are nothing but wire work the same if you spend $10 on or $50.

Rick, I'd caution ya to go through the files and cull out the bad ones now, and I'd like to hear what you will do to any poster who posts copyrighted material on purpose in order to close down FFL.I ask, because there's irky-jerks here who would do just that. Probably most MMY photos are easy to frame as copyrighted material, so you might have to dump almost all of the photos.onto some other public server that can be linked to from FFLor? One thing's for sure, Yahoo will just flat out dump ya in short order if they have to handle this issue again, and they'll let you take MUM to court and get an order from the court to re-instate FFL, before they'd even consider activation. So they've got the power and will use it to lessen their frictionseven if they can see that there is no loss to MUM by such publishing.
