Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Dome meeting with Maharaja-ji

[Emily Reyn]

Ya see. Hypocrisy is one of my big things also.  One one hand, this forum is 
full of the most amazing people.  I am stunned over and over again.  It's hard 
for me to believe.  This forum is helping me.  Why?  How did they get here?  Is 
it because so many have been meditating, most/many doing TM?  Is it about 
global peace?  I want to drink whatever Koolaid ya'll are drinking. But...then 
there are videos like this, vouched by more than one.  I cannot hold both 
visions in my palm - I don't know why.  I can hold a lot of different fantasies 
in place, but not this one.  And, the way I'm feeling...I want to go straight 
to the Dome.  Maybe I can hook up with Oprah.  I'm not sure I would pass the 
test...I've seen Ammachi.  But, I *love* Ellen Degeneres.  Her endorsement 
alone is almost worth it.  Except, I will *not* sit around in the presence of a 
man in a golden crown and robe.  Please.  So, how to reconcile.  Don't think I 
can...but I'm
 about 20 years behind ya'll.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Ravi Yogi's unconditional apology to raunchydog

[Ravi Yogi]

Thank you very much raunchy, I do appreciate your forgiveness. I just want to 
clarify couple of things - first that I didn't mean you yourself were abused, I 
just included it as a wide array of possibilities in my explanation including 
may be a friend, family member and/or that you empathize with the pain of 
abused 
women.

About my suicide threats, these are not correct - these were assumptions from 
others based upon my posts in May 2010 and it's easy to see why you might have 
been mistaken. To my knowledge I don't ever recall interacting with you during 
that timeframe.

I did attempt suicide in 2005 during the peak of my suffering, that's 4 years 
before my Kundalini and that's a whole different story. I had always been 
against suicide growing up and it was a very impulsive decision on my part, 
after I recovered I realized my stupidity but then it is an integral part of my 
past and very vital one.

Thanks for your understanding.

Ravi, I appreciate the olive branch. I'm willing to make cautious peace with 
you 
as well. First off, I don't accept your assessment of me that I have been 
abused 
by men. I have never been physically abused by a man. I wouldn't tolerate it 
for 
a second. I had a boyfriend slap my hand once because I was chewing off a 
hangnail. I sent him packing. I've suffered heartbreak and breakups, but I put 
that in the category of self-abuse, not emotional abuse. 


My preferred handle is lowdowndog. Yahoo ate it one day and wouldn't give it 
back so I picked raunchydog. My handle is a show of bravado, not an invitation 
for abuse.

I'd like to believe everything you say is true, but you have to understand that 
finding out your threats of suicide a year ago were just an act, and that you 
enjoy baiting people just to get a reaction, severely damages my ability to 
trust you or believe anything you say. I don't like being manipulated. It's a 
horribly, mean, sick way of dealing with people. That's all I have to say for 
now.

[Ravi Yogi]

Now are you mad at me Steve?

I called you "Heartland" on purpose - you are a heart centered man, don't take 
the idiot literally please - just a little something to provoke you. You are a 
loving man, your strengths are this heart centered-ness coupled with those 
quick, witty remarks and ability to steal some food off the salad line (OK I'm 
just kidding on the last one).

Anyway I was going to respond to your post I loved "Ravi had an emotion 
email.." 
because it was beautiful and I will surely get to it.

Subject: Ravi Yogi's unconditional apology to raunchydog


Dear raunchydog,

I would like to express my utmost apologies to you for my behavior and I know 
it 
has caused you lot of pain. As hard as it might sound to you and others, I have 
nothing but love for you.

P.S - I'm typing this fast so I can get this to you tonight, so pardon any 
spelling mistakes and/or grammatical errors.

You may not even be reading this message and might not want to hear any of my 
excuses but I still have to put it there. But if you are please bear with me as 
I explain my actions.

May be you have read my other post to Judy and/or watched my video. If you have 
not I would suggest you do. My video was posted to show the love I feel and my 
post offers certain clues to my behavior.

I behave  according to a certain gut feeling and I couldn't come up with an 
explanation for my behavior. I probably still don't but I think I do have 
something I would want you to hear.

I think you have a certain strong emotional investment in the abuse of women, 
i.e you have had some personal contact with the abuse of women by men and this 
causes some strong emotions with respect to men you think seem condescending or 
sexist.

First let me explain my stance on women.

I believe I'm a strong lover of women. I grew up with a single mother who was 
so 
physically abused my father that she suffered psychologically for a long time, 
well past my adulthood. She also had to deal with the stupid conservative 
society of India. She was a very strong liberal woman who had a major influence 
on me. I loved my mom deeply till I became a teenager. I had issues with men, 
authority, conservatives, conservative values till my awakening when Mother 
Kundalini washed out all my sins.

I also have close experiences with suicide. I once, at the age of 12, saved my 
mom's life when she overdosed on Valium. I had nothing but disgust for my 
father 
and love for my mother.  So my childhood was spent with these issues though 
they 
didn't seem to affect me, I was very introverted, happy with myself, treated as 
the most special by mom because I was the youngest.

Once I became there was a strong desire to deeply love a woman and then I fell 
in love and pursued her till she married me. Though untouched by others I 
completely opened myself to her, utterly vulnerable to her because I wanted 
nothing but to deeply intensely love her. However as I later realize she had 
herself was abused by men and that caused her to distrust men completely and I 
was the target of all her ire.

Anyway not going into too much details I spent my 38 years of life spending 
time 
with women who were psychologically disturbed because of abuse by men. I 
incredibly healed all my pains, two years after my divorce. I healed the 
bitterness, pain from both my disappointments with women and disgust of men, 
authority and conservative values in one fell swoop.

I don't know if you were around my awakening in May 2010 but during the height 
of my Kundalini as I was healing all my pains, I sent an email titled - "It's 
hang the men day bitches" (FYI - I was calling men my bitches, Bob can attest 
to 
this as well when I abused him that I would make him my bitch). Anyway in that 
email in May 2010, I attacked all men, Indian, my own relatives,  friends that 
I 
deemed conservative.

So I have had an intense desire to be just loving to be helpful to all women 
since my awakening. I predominantly spent all my time with women at my Guru's 
gatherings - a majority of them older women, who adore my loving playfulness. 
There are too many stories to relate but I will share if you are interested.

I often playfully joke that I hate men and all women crack up. I have spent my 
time last year with an older gentleman of mine and we had endless discussions 
on 
abuse of women in America and the psychological issues that derive from  it. I, 
as you can see, had lot of experience.

So I believe other than my Guru there's no better lover of women than myself. 
Recently a close friend, an older woman, who adores and loves me, sent naked 
pictures of her, most likely on an impulse (it's actually a long story). Anyway 
I told her it was perfect because I had no perverted sexual energy anymore, no 
shame, no guilt and that I'm able to suck all sexual energy to heal it. She 
felt 
lot better because she became a little embarrassed, she must have noticed that 
I 
was as loving to her as before and there was no energy of rejection.

So looking back I felt this energy in yuu raunchydog who had seen, observed, 
felt, understood, empathized the pain of women. Also the fact that you used a 
handle rauchydog which no doubt which attract some perverted men, whom you 
could 
then take down - Mack the Knife style. Also

Turqb, my interest in this is Utopian.
Fairfield is one of the best long-lived spiritual communal shows going.  This 
is extremely high-minded, spiritual, applied scientifically and
revolutionary at the same time.

Cut it anyway you want, Maharishi was
one of the large revolutionaries of the 
late 20th and early 21st Century.  Regardless.  Given
everything else going on I am rooting for
this.  It is all spiritually interesting and resonates that way.

I think you ought to quit that money grubbing job of yours at IBM and come back 
to your spiritual ways.  May be round some on the Invincible America Course and 
also get an advanced degree from MUM.  You know, do something with your life.  
Life is for the living, come back and do something with your life whilst you 
gots one.  Time ticks.  Come back to Fairfield and help with the numbers 
meditating here.  You are cultivated from before, we could use your help here 
now.  Just don't offer anything about your missing years sitting with saints 
when you apply for the domes at the course office.  

Like, European coffee is fine but coffee is great in Paradiso right here too.

[FairfieldLife] Ravi Yogi's unconditional apology to raunchydog

[Ravi Yogi]

Dear raunchydog,

I would like to express my utmost apologies to you for my behavior and I know 
it 
has caused you lot of pain. As hard as it might sound to you and others, I have 
nothing but love for you.

P.S - I'm typing this fast so I can get this to you tonight, so pardon any 
spelling mistakes and/or grammatical errors.

You may not even be reading this message and might not want to hear any of my 
excuses but I still have to put it there. But if you are please bear with me as 
I explain my actions.

May be you have read my other post to Judy and/or watched my video. If you have 
not I would suggest you do. My video was posted to show the love I feel and my 
post offers certain clues to my behavior.

I behave according to a certain gut feeling and I couldn't come up with an 
explanation for my behavior. I probably still don't but I think I do have 
something I would want you to hear.

I think you have a certain strong emotional investment in the abuse of women, 
i.e you have had some personal contact with the abuse of women by men and this 
causes some strong emotions with respect to men you think seem condescending or 
sexist.

First let me explain my stance on women.

I believe I'm a strong lover of women. I grew up with a single mother who was 
so 
physically abused my father that she suffered psychologically for a long time, 
well past my adulthood. She also had to deal with the stupid conservative 
society of India. She was a very strong liberal woman who had a major influence 
on me. I loved my mom deeply till I became a teenager. I had issues with men, 
authority, conservatives, conservative values till my awakening when Mother 
Kundalini washed out all my sins.

I also have close experiences with suicide. I once, at the age of 12, saved my 
mom's life when she overdosed on Valium. I had nothing but disgust for my 
father 
and love for my mother. So my childhood was spent with these issues though they 
didn't seem to affect me, I was very introverted, happy with myself, treated as 
the most special by mom because I was the youngest.

Once I became there was a strong desire to deeply love a woman and then I fell 
in love and pursued her till she married me. Though untouched by others I 
completely opened myself to her, utterly vulnerable to her because I wanted 
nothing but to deeply intensely love her. However as I later realize she had 
herself was abused by men and that caused her to distrust men completely and I 
was the target of all her ire.

Anyway not going into too much details I spent my 38 years of life spending 
time 
with women who were psychologically disturbed because of abuse by men. I 
incredibly healed all my pains, two years after my divorce. I healed the 
bitterness, pain from both my disappointments with women and disgust of men, 
authority and conservative values in one fell swoop.

I don't know if you were around my awakening in May 2010 but during the height 
of my Kundalini as I was healing all my pains, I sent an email titled - "It's 
hang the men day bitches" (FYI - I was calling men my bitches, Bob can attest 
to 
this as well when I abused him that I would make him my bitch). Anyway in that 
email in May 2010, I attacked all men, Indian, my own relatives, friends that I 
deemed conservative.

So I have had an intense desire to be just loving to be helpful to all women 
since my awakening. I predominantly spent all my time with women at my Guru's 
gatherings - a majority of them older women, who adore my loving playfulness. 
There are too many stories to relate but I will share if you are interested.

I often playfully joke that I hate men and all women crack up. I have spent my 
time last year with an older gentleman of mine and we had endless discussions 
on 
abuse of women in America and the psychological issues that derive from it. I, 
as you can see, had lot of experience.

So I believe other than my Guru there's no better lover of women than myself. 
Recently a close friend, an older woman, who adores and loves me, sent naked 
pictures of her, most likely on an impulse (it's actually a long story). Anyway 
I told her it was perfect because I had no perverted sexual energy anymore, no 
shame, no guilt and that I'm able to suck all sexual energy to heal it. She 
felt 
lot better because she became a little embarrassed, she must have noticed that 
I 
was as loving to her as before and there was no energy of rejection.

So looking back I felt this energy in yuu raunchydog who had seen, observed, 
felt, understood, empathized the pain of women. Also the fact that you used a 
handle rauchydog which no doubt which attract some perverted men, whom you 
could 
then take down - Mack the Knife style. Also the fact that you empathized with 
gays and that you some fixation on the male sexual organ, got offended by 
playful baiting of Mother Teresa (I have baited Curtis, tartbrain, Xeno with 
similar tactics).

And then you mistook hijra for gay. Hijra is a castrated man,

"Consciousness is the product of the functioning of the brain."

 So are you saying that those talked about upper layers don't exist?  I ask 
because I had some work done a few months ago to "repair" my spiritual grid - 
ostensibly above me, but maybe not.

History repeats itself.speaking of history...

"Back in the '60s, Brazil's music scene exploded with tropicalia — a mix of 
blues, jazz, folk and psychedelic rock with a distinct local flavor. And 
tropicalia was more than just music. It was also literature, poetry and visual 
art, often with commentary on the tumultuous political situation brewing in 
Brazil at the time."

[FairfieldLife] Re: Extraordinary Results from Course on Vedic Physiology

[sparaig]

one of my favorite quotes from MMY:


Spiritual and Material Values

"Every experience has its level of physiology, and so unbounded awareness has 
its own level of physiology which can be measured. Every aspect of life is 
integrated and connected with every other phase. When we talk of scientific 
measurements, it does not take away from the spiritual experience. We are not 
responsible for those times when spiritual experience was thought of as 
metaphysical. Everything is physical. Consciousness is the product of the 
functioning of the brain. Talking of scientific measurements is no damage to 
that wholeness of life which is present everywhere and which begins to be lived 
when the physiology is taking on a particular form. This is our understanding 
about spirituality: it is not on the level of faith --it is on the level of 
blood and bone and flesh and activity. It is measurable."

I'm not sure how he does it, but his writing is crafted *to

Dear Robin:  I have figured out how to understand what you are writing - I read 
it out loud.  This message was beautifully crafted.  

I did the same (read out loud) this past week the exchange that you and Judy 
had back around the time of the Monkees.  That's when I discovered the 
technique.  It made so much more sense. 

P.S.  I love Canadians.  They are so much more relaxed and humorous than us 
Americans.  We were at Silverstar in 2006, when Canada won the gold in curling. 
 That was a good time.

I was just starting to enjoying the show and Alex gave him the gong.  Hey, 
Nabby, I saved this post for you, hoping you might tell us what Maitreya might 
say about it. 

Since we can't have Celestial Science Guy anymore, I thought his understudy 
could fill the void quite nicely.

Dear Fairfield folks,

I write here to introduce my book Celestial Science. It is intended as a 
textbook on modern metaphysics. There, I am trying to make sense of channeled 
messages, alien visitation and the hybridization program.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Billy Bob makes it up...again

[wgm4u]

Essentially, the prana (kundalini serpent fire) must be awakened and rise to 
the 6th and 7th chakra for enlightenment to occur. Whether that is done through 
mantra meditation OR concentration (like Patanjali taught) is secondary, both 
work according to Swami Yogananda, he believes concentration is more effective 
because it deals directly with the prana (pranaYama=prana control).

Prana is the life link that connects the astral body with the physical body, 
before the consciousness can expand it must be released from being 'trapped' in 
the physical body, these 'trap doors' are the chakras.

The prana (and the consciousness which is it's counterpart) is trapped in the 
physical body due to Attachmentslust, anger and greed to name a few. That 
is why some proficiency in the Yama and Niyamas are necessary before the 
serpent fire can awaken (Yoga is both the MEANS AND the end).

Great.  I've been working my way through the music genres.  I was just thinking 
it was time to get to Jazz, when you posted.  Weird things are happening like 
that all the time now.  Last weekend I was thinking of Elton John.  I logged on 
and there was an Elton John Post.

channeled messages, alien visitation and the hybridization program.

After losing two of them in the past year and a half, there are only two 
pussycats left in the house, but I'm sure either one of them would be more than 
happy to respond with the gift of bloody entrails.

Oh well Bob,  thanks for all those posts during my absence, thoroughly enjoyed

I second that. Ravi has the ability to play endlessly with words and take 
delight in his own inventions, which is a great talent, and MZ has brought a 
multitude of virtues to this forum: grace, wit, intellectual depth, charm, 
humor, eloquence, and integrity, to name only a few. And then of course, there 
is you, our dear authfriend, who keeps us all on our toes with your searing 
critiques and meticulous standards. This is a good forum, a rough-and-tumble 
place that contains some good hearts, massive accumulated life experience, and 
sharply contrasted, deeply felt opinions on all sides.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Dear Ravi

[Ravi Yogi]

Oops..I apparently missed the uncharitable references to Bob.

Denise, Bob may be the quintessential business guy in his professional life but 
in his inner life, a charming, innocent, creative, dedicated to his family.

I always re-read his and Robin's posts multiple times.

Remember he put up with a very intense abuse from me. But he was able to look 
through to my consciousness and just retreated.

Now that's one special person !!!

He never asked for my apology for my abusive vitriolic nor I offered him one, 
not that it won't happen. I am always ready to apologize for my actions, only 
for the lovers and not pimps aka intellectuals.

Same with Robin. I didn't get too intense with him but he was able to cut 
through crap as well.

Both of them will have a special place in my heart for the rest of this 
lifetime.

Love - Ravi.

Enlightenment doesn't have anything to do with the 
human nervous system.  If it did, we could see it

The enlightened state is a state of mind; a state 
where we percieve reality as it really is. 

Enlightenment is a mental state - there is no 
change in the physical body. Enlightenment is a 
metaphysical state.

The historical buddha is said to have attained 
enlightenment, but he had a bad back until the day 
he passed away. 

Enlightenment "...is the state of residing in such 
great understanding and depth, that no matter what 
life throws your way, you are at peace with it, you 
are able to say, That's OK, no problem."

[FairfieldLife] Swami Rama: Our Tradition

[Vaj]

Our Tradition

Shankaracharya established an ascetic order 1,200 years ago, though renunciates 
had already lived in
an unbroken lineage from the Vedic period. He organized his orders through five 
main centers in the
North, East, South, West, and center of India. The entire ascetic order of 
India traces its tradition from one
of these centers. Our tradition is Bharati. Bha means “knowledge”; rati means 
“lover.” Bharati means “he
who is the lover of knowledge.” From this comes the word Bharata, the land of 
spiritual knowledge, one of
the Sanskrit names used for India.

There is one thing unique to our tradition. It links itself to an unbroken 
lineage of sages even beyond
Shankara. Our Himalayan tradition, though a tradition of Shankara, is purely 
ascetic, and is practiced in
the Himalayan caves rather than being related with institutions established in 
the plains of India. In our
tradition learning of the Upanishads is very important, along with the special 
advanced spiritual practices
taught by the sages. The Mandukya Upanishad is accepted as one of the 
authoritative scriptures.
The knowledge of Sri Vidya is imparted stage by stage and the advanced student 
is taught Prayoga
Shastra [which explains the practicality and application of the discipline one 
has to follow for this
knowledge]. We believe in both the Mother and the Father principles of the 
universe. That which is called
maya, or illusion, in our worship becomes the Mother and does not remain as a 
stumbling block or
obstacle on the path of spiritual enlightenment. All of our worship is internal 
and we do not perform any
rituals.

There are three stages of initiation given according to our tradition. First: 
mantra, breath awareness,
and meditation; second: inner worship of Sri Vidya and bindu bhedana (piercing 
the pearl of wisdom);
third: shaktipata and leading the force of kundalini to the thousand-petaled 
lotus called the sahasrara
chakra. At this stage we do not associate ourselves with any particular 
religion, caste, sex, or color. Such
yogis are called masters and are allowed to impart the traditional knowledge. 
We strictly follow the
discipline of the sages.

It is not possible for me to discuss in detail the secret teachings of Prayoga 
Shastra, for it is said: “Na
datavyam, na datavyam, na datavyam—Don’t impart, don’t impart, don’t impart” 
unless someone is fully
prepared and committed and has practiced self-control to a high degree. These 
attainments can be
verified through the experiences of the sages of the past. In our path, 
gurudeva is not a god but a bright
being who has faithfully and sincerely attained a state of enlightenment. We 
believe in the grace of the
guru as the highest means for enlightenment, but never as the end. The purpose 
of the guru is to
selflessly help his disciples on the way to perfection.

Our tradition has the following orientation:

1. One Absolute without a second is our philosophy.

2. Serving humanity through selflessness is an expression of love, which one 
should follow through
mind, action, and speech.

3. The yoga system of Patanjali is a preliminary step accepted by us for the 
higher practices in our
tradition, but philosophically we follow the advaita system of one Absolute 
without a second.

4. Meditation is systematized by stilling the body, having serene breath, and 
controlling the mind.
Breath awareness, control of the autonomic nervous system, and learning to 
discipline primitive
urges are practiced.

5. We teach the middle path to students in general, and those who are prepared 
for higher steps of
learning have the opportunity to learn the advanced practices. This helps 
people in general in their
daily lives to live in the world and yet remain above. Our method, for the 
convenience of Western
students, is called superconscious meditation. I am only a messenger delivering 
the wisdom of the
Himalayan sages of this tradition, and whatever spontaneously comes from the 
center of intuition,
that I teach. I never prepare my lectures or speeches, for I was told by my 
master not to do so.

6. We do not believe in conversion, changing cultural habits, or introducing 
any God in particular. We
respect all religions equally, loving all and excluding none. Neither do we 
oppose any temple,
mosque, or church, nor do we believe in building homes for God while ignoring 
human beings. Our
firm belief is that every human being is a living institution or a temple.

7. Our members are all over the world, and for the sake of communication we 
also believe in
education. Our graduate program imparts the knowledge given by the sages, 
thereby fulfilling the
inner need of intellectuals.

8. We practice vegetarianism. We teach a nutritional diet that is healthy and 
good for longevity, but at
the same time we are not rigid and do not force students to become vegetarians.

9. We respect the institution of the family and stress the education of 
children by introducing a selftraining
program

Thanks.  Yes, Petrucciani is a great jazz player.  I'm only wishing I could

The song was composed by Miles Davis, another great jazz master.

I'll be posting some more of these great musicians' performances when you least

Dear Dee, welcome back !!!

Interesting that I have been addressing you as D and the author has the same 
last name :-).

I just saw one picture but the lingams were awesome.

I was nervous the entire week at how you were going to react at my going 
berserk, good to know you love still. You know I only behaved badly because I 
was just missing you and I must have intuitively felt your keen interest in 
lingams :-)

Love,

[FairfieldLife] Opus 125

[Emily Reyn]

Yes, it's the long version and predictably and unpredictably complex and 
sublime all the way to the very end, IMHO.  It reminds me of this forum.

Beethoven:  Symphony 9, Opus 125 (Clockwork Orange)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeO4RF7eXBc&feature=related


The way the spontaneous and purposeful choreography of FFL unfolds is 
extraordinary.  The "freedom" allowed is one of the forum's greatest gifts.  
Having the "roo...m" to "exist" and "be" is "God's grace" in action, in my 
book, and central to this forum's statements on the Groups homepage. This forum 
"lives on the edge" (as Jon Stewart said about himself in his interview with 
Ann Coulter).  This forum kicks serious ass.  

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Hey Ravi

[Emily Reyn]

My bum has very little creased imprint (from NOT sitting behind a computer all 
day) and has kept muscle tone on it as it has not become glued to a chair, FYI, 
unsolicited, of course.
; ) 


Well, mine is not glued to my chair either.  I keep toned by clenching my 
buttocks every time I catapult out of my chair, which happens with a fair 
amount of regularity. Up down, up down...ricocheting between ceiling and chair. 
 I usually have to dance around the house a few times to recover from each 
event, which is undoubtedly also helping me stay fit.  I do need to transcend 
my roof however, and give myself a break.

[FairfieldLife] "Something good is happening"?

[authfriend]

It occurs to me that as chaotic and incoherent and rude
and crude and stupid as FFL can be, "something good"
must be going on if it appeals to guys like Robin and
Ravi. It means we're at least ready to deal with being 
shaken up and discombobulated in new and unfamiliar ways.
What we make of them is up to us. At the moment, I'm
finding myself rather blissed out. Tomorrow I may not be.

As a minister of my acquaintance was fond of saying:
"I'm not OK, you're not OK, and that's OK."

"As for the pace, just before we met, my wife sailed from Tahiti, west across 
the Pacific, Indian, and Atlantic oceans to the coast of Venezuela in a 32 foot 
sailboat with just one other person, and I always wanted after the fact to 
ensure she was traveling quickly."

Pretty great.

Back in 1981, I was on a 40 foot boat from New Zealand to Tonga to
 Fiji and then a second boat from Fiji to New Caledonia to Australia - flew to 
Brazil from Australia (yeah, a boyfriend and my college money) and then back to 
New Zealand for the sail back up to Seattle (via Tahiti and Hawaii).  What I 
loved the best were
 the longer passages.

"Whoa hot, Bob."  Can we call you HotBob?

Very funny btw that you were told you were a "young soul."  I've been told on 
multiple occasions (although not by a pretty Lebanese woman) that I am an "old 
soul."  Usually, it was a pick-up line.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: For Emily

[Emily Reyn]

Obba, you are sooo embarrassing me.  Wait, let me access a different part of 
myself...Oh, there we go, what I mean to say is..."Damn...Obba...baby...what's 
going on?"  You'll have to intuit the inflection :).

That Sting song coming through my speakers at high volume on full screen 
creates sweet ecstasy within me.  So thoughtful of you.
  "I realize nothing's as it seems."  "Sweet intoxication" no doubt.

The value of posting out is that one then has the
 privilege of unfettered observation. For me personally, I am reminded of that 
Court TV judge who says..."If you listen, you may learn something."  


P.S.  Disclaimer.  I am not coming onto you.  I am not leading you on. Assume 
nothing. I am simply responding in the moment to your musical post - it was a 
hole in one.  

P.P.S. I don't want to appear hypocritical.  I am saying all this to cover my 
ass.


This one starts with a poem...
