[FairfieldLife] Re: Transcendental Meditation, Oprah and Ellen DeGeneres
Class action? Yep the TM Raja could become very busy both in and out of their meditation defending themselves from civil meditator action like these and then also from their own criminal ways against humanity with the dome numbers in a World Court. The Raja should quickly de-link their anti-saint policy from dome meditation badges. These kind of class law suits are really bad publicity. Life is in the world and the world changes, the TM Raja should deal with it and change their policy against saints with an unconditional surrender. They're defending civil suits and criminal? They should be wise to just abandon their anti-saint policy. Defending that policy is just plain untenable in any court. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, obbajeeba no_reply@ wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb no_reply@ wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, obbajeeba no_reply@ wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb no_reply@ wrote: Bottom line is that you are justifying the unjustifiable.

This policy is a technique used *by the fearful* to make others afraid and control them. *Especially* if Maharishi regularly made exceptions to his own ill- conceived rule when he was alive. The other bottom line is that if people about to take the TM-Sidhi course were told *in advance* that they would never again be allowed to see any other spiritual teacher and still participate in the group practice of the Sidhis, no one would sign up. They'd take one look at the policy, murmur Cult under their breath, and walk away. It takes a real, case-hardened cultist to either accept the policy, or justify it. I agree with Turq, especially on the last paragraph, I never heard of anyone being banished when I got instructions for meditations. That would constitute the, cult, word. The practicing of the TM-Sidhi's is supposed to be innocent. Also, one is supposed to go about their business as usual, just incorporating the program into one's daily routine. Let's keep it that way and occupy the domes! Right, Buck? More proactively, it seems to me that this would be the basis for a successful class action lawsuit. *No one* was ever told before learning the TM-Sidhis (a *huge* component of which is being able to practice them in a group) that they would be banned from such groups if they saw other spiritual teachers. This oversight, combined with a present-day policy that says and enforces just that, could probably be seen as constituting fraud on the part of the TMO. My bet is if anyone has the balls to file such a lawsuit, you could find any number of lawyers willing to take it on. Heck, ACLU lawyers would probably do it for free. And my bet is that if such a suit were filed, the policy would go away overnight. There is no way that the TMO could conceivably win such a suit, and they'd be terrified to allow it to reach court, and thus the eyes and ears of the press and potential big-name shills like Oprah and Ellen. shills like Oprah and Ellen. LMAO You are on to something very big here, Turq. 501c3 status, foundations, corporations...this will work! The only way they could get out of it, is if they domes were to house a controlled group, for scientific purposes, only. I have not ever been denied a dome badge, so I do not think I could qualify to bring such a suit, and I do understand many who are banned, may have only written a book about something Vedic, which is not trademarked information by the TMO. Hmm..You book writers, there is an answer and Turq came up with a very great suggestion. Get on it!

this clarification: viz He was being a dick to a stranger on the internet. Bob
Price's unanswered posts were, then, unworthy of a response. I would like, for
my own purposes, to know what set of criteria you morally or psychologically
apply to make this determination: As for example, you deemed my post something
to be answered, not Bob Price's.
What is it about this post in particular which puts it in another category
from those two posts from Bob Price?
Curtis3: I just want to note that after being kinda clear about my lack of
interest in
this subject you have doubled down with a few paragraphs, including suggesting
that you post Bob's insults again to stick them in my face. And of course I
can't control what you write but is this really friendly? Is this how you react
to all your friend's preferences?
Robin4: I mist have misinterpreted those two posts. I took them to be a moral
and intellectual challenge; not just Bob's little FU to all things Curtis. If
they had been what you have characterized them here in this post, *I would have
recognized this for myself*, and would have, had I been your friend, urged you
not to answer them. Because they were not worthy of being answered. I have no
bias one way or the other: I don't forge alliances in order to alter my own
moral responsibilities: If Tom Brady does something dirty, I don't, because I
root for the Patriots and like Brady as a person, given him a bye and judge him
differently from how I would judge James Harrison of the Steelers, who I don't
particularly like and think it is dirty player. When I read the first of those
two posts I refer to, I thought: Wow: Curtis can really show what he is made of
here by answering this putdown of himself.
When you just blew this off with some comment like: That was the most
disgusting post I have read at FFL (or words to this effect), I was appalled,
shocked, stupefied. Because I have noticed that whenever Judy criticizes you,
you come right back at her. But even in this case, you sometimesat
suspiciously significant junctures in your dialogues with hergo silent, and
refuse to take a stand which would enable the reader of this feud to know you
have the confidence to stand up to Judynot as an adversary, but in terms of
the form of her arguments against what you have written.
In order to comprehend how you can walk away from those two posts, Curtis, I
would have to have some kind of experience in reading those posts which would
make your decision understandable to me in terms of not being a dishonourable
act {which I deem it to be in the absence of an kind of reasonable
explanation]. You can of course, as you do here, define those posts as just
Bob's little FU to all things Curtis'; but this peremptory fiat does not make
of them what you say they are. There has to be some kind of agreement between
your judgment of those posts and what they really are independent of your
saying what they are. Should one interpret and define those posts according to
what you say they are here? Is that the last word? No, Curtis, you can choose
to rule them out of order, declaring there is nothing there worthy of taking
notice; but then the question comes in: Is Curtis's appraisal of Bob Price's
critical posts about him congruent with what in fact is the objective nature of
these Bob Price posts?
And if in this case you are correct, then the fault is all in me: since I took
those posts to merit, to demand, to require an answer. You don't even try to
defend your interpretation of them here as not deserving your attention: they
in their very nature did not warrant you taking any notice of them. But you
never explain why; you just arbitrarily legislate your own reality, and we are
all left with only one option: either we accept Curtis's characterizing of
these two posts of Bob Price, or we don't. But you never give any basis for us
to make this decision, so I think most of the readers at FFL, because of your
reputation, simply concur with youYou see, Curtis, they have never entered
into any process by which they could justify your decision not to respond to
those posts. And they still haven't, even as Steve is certain that you have
scored big time.
I find this an abdication of your moral responsibility, and if you don't see
this, then that is in itself an extraordinary indictment of you.
I am still waiting to hear an argument that makes sense of this, Curtis.

I don't know if the leading class of the TMO knows how late it is. Fast, very fast the current administration is approching ultimate nirvana, with not much coming behind.Think 10 or 15 years ahead of time, there won't be much of the TMO left, there are very few youngsters, and - well the school kids, but exactly where will they be, and how much they will stand behind the whole project has to be still seen. Therefore, to make TM again acceptable to a broader audience is not an issue that has a lot of time to wait for. I am not saying, that if you resolve the whole saint issue, the TM movement will be saved, of course not. But it is one of those symptomatic things, where the TMO has to change, in order to be again more accessable, and less cultish, if it wants to ever survive. Yes, time is very limited for the TMO. They would also need to change other things. If they want to bring in new and somewhat normal younger people to the practice of TM, I think they would have to do away with the whole raja and crowns thing as well. Also the expensive pricing of some courses. These folks have been locked in the unreal world of TM culture for so long, they don't really know how these policies and practices come across.

No, it is the talking about it, that matters to them. If you lie and keep quiet, you are a good boy/girl, the problem is really the effect it has on the others, who get to know about it. They are fearing this kind of collective thing. But then, if they could be more liberal, more grandious, more self-aware, they would do much better.

my own purposes, to know what set of criteria you morally or psychologically
apply to make this determination: As for example, you deemed my post something
to be answered, not Bob Price's.
What is it about this post in particular which puts it in another category
from those two posts from Bob Price?
Curtis3: I just want to note that after being kinda clear about my lack of
interest in
this subject you have doubled down with a few paragraphs, including suggesting
that you post Bob's insults again to stick them in my face. And of course I
can't control what you write but is this really friendly? Is this how you
react
to all your friend's preferences?
Robin4: I mist have misinterpreted those two posts. I took them to be a moral
and intellectual challenge; not just Bob's little FU to all things Curtis.
If they had been what you have characterized them here in this post, *I would
have recognized this for myself*, and would have, had I been your friend,
urged you not to answer them. Because they were not worthy of being answered.
I have no bias one way or the other: I don't forge alliances in order to
alter my own moral responsibilities: If Tom Brady does something dirty, I
don't, because I root for the Patriots and like Brady as a person, given him
a bye and judge him differently from how I would judge James Harrison of the
Steelers, who I don't particularly like and think it is dirty player. When I
read the first of those two posts I refer to, I thought: Wow: Curtis can
really show what he is made of here by answering this putdown of himself.
When you just blew this off with some comment like: That was the most
disgusting post I have read at FFL (or words to this effect), I was
appalled, shocked, stupefied. Because I have noticed that whenever Judy
criticizes you, you come right back at her. But even in this case, you
sometimesat suspiciously significant junctures in your dialogues with hergo
silent, and refuse to take a stand which would enable the reader of this feud
to know you have the confidence to stand up to Judynot as an adversary, but
in terms of the form of her arguments against what you have written.
In order to comprehend how you can walk away from those two posts, Curtis, I
would have to have some kind of experience in reading those posts which would
make your decision understandable to me in terms of not being a dishonourable
act {which I deem it to be in the absence of an kind of reasonable
explanation]. You can of course, as you do here, define those posts as just
Bob's little FU to all things Curtis'; but this peremptory fiat does not
make of them what you say they are. There has to be some kind of agreement
between your judgment of those posts and what they really are independent of
your saying what they are. Should one interpret and define those posts
according to what you say they are here? Is that the last word? No, Curtis,
you can choose to rule them out of order, declaring there is nothing there
worthy of taking notice; but then the question comes in: Is Curtis's
appraisal of Bob Price's critical posts about him congruent with what in fact
is the objective nature of these Bob Price posts?
And if in this case you are correct, then the fault is all in me: since I
took those posts to merit, to demand, to require an answer. You don't even
try to defend your interpretation of them here as not deserving your
attention: they in their very nature did not warrant you taking any notice of
them. But you never explain why; you just arbitrarily legislate your own
reality, and we are all left with only one option: either we accept Curtis's
characterizing of these two posts of Bob Price, or we don't. But you never
give any basis for us to make this decision, so I think most of the readers
at FFL, because of your reputation, simply concur with youYou see, Curtis,
they have never entered into any process by which they could justify your
decision not to respond to those posts. And they still haven't, even as Steve
is certain that you have scored big time.
I find this an abdication of your moral responsibility, and if you don't

I don't know about american law,and if this constitutes a fraud in the eyes of the law. But if anyone wants to sue the TM for this, they better hurry up, as long as there is still a TMO around. I don't know if the leading class of the TMO knows how late it is. Fast, very fast the current administration is approching ultimate nirvana, with not much coming behind.Think 10 or 15 years ahead of time, there won't be much of the TMO left, there are very few youngsters, and - well the school kids, but exactly where will they be, and how much they will stand behind the whole project has to be still seen. Therefore, to make TM again acceptable to a broader audience is not an issue that has a lot of time to wait for. I am not saying, that if you resolve the whole saint issue, the TM movement will be saved, of course not. But it is one of those symptomatic things, where the TMO has to change, in order to be again more accessable, and less cultish, if it wants to ever survive. This oversight, combined with a present-day policy that says and enforces just that, could probably be seen as constituting fraud on the part of the TMO. My bet is if anyone has the balls to file such a lawsuit, you could find any number of lawyers willing to take it on. Heck, ACLU lawyers would probably do it for free. And my bet is that if such a suit were filed, the policy would go away overnight. There is no way that the TMO could conceivably win such a suit, and they'd be terrified to allow it to reach court, and thus the eyes and ears of the press and potential big-name shills like Oprah and Ellen. Yes, the policy would go overnight. It is already clear, that to the TMO, not the single sidha/governor matters, who sits in the dome and has just seen a saint. No, it is the talking about it, that matters to them. If you lie and keep quiet, you are a good boy/girl, the problem is really the effect it has on the others, who get to know about it. They are fearing this kind of collective thing. But then, if they could be more liberal, more grandious, more self-aware, they would do much better. I doubt this will be the case, and nobody on the top position has the guts to change anything. They are busy, but they just keep themselves busy like any administration.

Here's a conversation I just had with a friend: He said:It's going to decrease your boot time, as well as loading times for most of your programs. The only area that SSD's aren't faster than mechanical are sustained write, mostly applications like Vodburner would be affected. Also to consider is the increased reliability. The estimated MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) is right around 1-2 million hours for most SSDs whereas Mechanical Drives are closer to 500,000 hours, with many failing before that threshold even. The major downside is that you don't have as much capacity for storage so the best advice there is to buy a SSD drive and have windows installed on it and use a high capacity mechanical drive for storage. Downside being that's going to add about $130 for a 1TB drive. I said: That's what I was thinking - just have the SSD for the system and maybe the applications if there's room. Have everything else on the mechanical drives. Aside from booting and opening programs, does the computer operate faster throughout the day with the system and apps on one of those? If not, then the only advantages would be faster booting and longer MTBF, right? I wonder if the task of moving everything from the old computer to the new would be complicated if I were to go this route. The setup of the new computer would no longer mirror that of the old.

No, it is the talking about it, that matters to them. If you lie and keep quiet, you are a good boy/girl, the problem is really the effect it has on the others, who get to know about it. They are fearing this kind of collective thing. But then, if they could be more liberal, more grandious, more self-aware, they would do much better. I doubt this will be the case, and nobody on the top position has the guts to change anything. They are busy, but they just keep themselves busy like any administration.

The next step up from atheism is spirituality which is probably just a very advanced applied physics.

What teh phuk are polka dot berries?? :D Meanwhile, on the island, there's been a little rain, so they have another clamshell of water. Thomas goes out looking for more fish, and Brooke returns to the bush of polka dot berries. She rubs one all over her lips and licks the juice and then she eats it. Then she goes nuts, eating a ton of them. She clutches her stomach at one point, but then smiles and keeps eating them. Thomas is upset when he sees this, and she tries to entice him to eat a berry as well.

It is evening here in Toronto, and I am at my favourite Starbucks. Vente salted caramel hot chocolate with whipped cream. with their own judgment of Judy. And the same goes for Barry. For you, Curtis, to hold to the notion that Judy Stein is a bullshitter, Curtis3: First of all you are taking my perspective that I disagree with her about a lot of stuff Barry into the reductionist, she is a bullshitter. That is not correct as a statement of how I view her. You construct a false alternative and hold me accountable as if it is the only choice. You are no more open to my POV than you claim I am of yours. I obviously don't agree with her a lot of times. Especially about her uncharitable view of me. Why should I , we never met. Our only interaction is in the environment arguing about something she cherishes and I mock. Not the best ground for getting close. We have softened our polarity through the years and I have benefited from our discussions. But where I am concerned Judy is icy and I keep my eye on that all the time. She is not a well wisher toward me. That is very important to keep clear here IMO. Robin4: You are no more open to my POV than you claim I am of yours. Well, this is to be determined by how we interact with these differing POVs, right? I am more open to your point of view than you are to mine in this sense, Curtis: I seek to open myself *to see what happens* when I try on one of your ideas; which is to say I *metaphysically try it out on myself, on reality*. Do you understand me here? You are making this argument simply on the basis of my refusal to spare you the criticism I feel at times is your due. I insist, however that I do not rigidly or dogmatically maintain a certain POV without respect to the movement of reality at the very moment I am going to articulate, defend, explicate that POV. You do not even know how to experimentally do this. Believe me, Curtis, it really works. And I learned it all from Maharishi. That is, knowing how to feel out the bias of reality, the sense of support I get by what I say and believe. There is for me an internal design to the universe, and I am part of that design, and so are you. And so are the actions which flow from the exercise of my free will. To me to say what you say: You are no more open to my POV than you claim I am of yours requires the adducing evidence for this. As it stands here, I intuit this statement to be intrinsically, essentially defensive. While it is true, that in the end, I favour my POV over yours; I do not start a priori with this assumption in the teeth of whatever reality chooses to dish out to me in the form of yourself, another very different perspective on the universe. I do not pretend to understand the real, unique person Judy. But I do get the sense that her maturity and perspective and intelligence and ethics allows her to move around pretty much as an example to all of us in terms of reasoned argument, in terms of fairness of tactics, in terms of the immense lucidity of her mind, in terms of the basic positive motives that actuate her posts. This at least is my experience. She tries for a lot, and anyone who goes for this much, has to bring forth the resources to pull it off. Judy's reach does not exceed her grasp, as far as I can tell. Now with respect to your relationship to her, what is behind it all, the personal history you have shared here at FFL, I was very much confused by the lines of discord when I first came onto FFL. But having seen Judy in action over all these months, I come to a very indisputable conclusion: Judy argues fairly, sincerely and justly in almost everything she writes. I have found occasions when I disagree with her; but I doubt that I would be treated aggressively or censoriously if I chose to contest her position. I am sure that is going to happen on FFL. But in general I have foundlately, once I understood you better and how she operatesher unbiased towards you; and your certainty that her personal animus towards you disqualifies her in some sense from being impartial when it comes to yourself, untenable. I follow arguments very carefully; I have yet to see in your recent communications with her any evidence for branding her as intolerant or negatively arraigned against you. You, on the other hand, no matter how she counters what you have written, feelalways it seemsthe need to argue back at her. This seems very often based upon the mere principle that you will not countenance criticism of your arguments, especially when you experience that criticism has coming very near to where you have created your felt sense

[FairfieldLife] Re: another question for MZ, and maybe William of Occam
I must say, that until now, I was quite clueless of what is going on here at FFL. I mean to say, I can of course read the threads, but I was puzzled by the melodramas that seem to be going on here. I was especially puzzled by one voice, which seemd to me full of contradictions, romanticising, and endless self-reflections. I at first thought that this was all somehow related to Ravi, which I had encountered before here, till somebody gave me hints, and I finally heard the background story, as far as it can be told, and I was led to this post here, to an old post of last june, I was abroad at the time, didn't lurk here, was very busy. I find the following post, which was here discussed quite intensely, and most of my thoughts about it, as much as I can evaluate it at all, have already been covered here by other commenters, especially Rory, Ravi, but also Barry. It's a fascinating post, somehow crazy, disturbing, and I surely don't have a final answer,but I certainly do have opinions,and also ideas I feel inspired to share. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, maskedzebra no_reply@... wrote: snip What I reject about Unity Consciousness is its correspondence with reality. Reality being defined as what really is the case. Have you heard about Edmund Husserl, the founder of phenomenology? Now what this means is that although a person can experience the objective and empirically undeniable state of Unity Consciousness, this does not mean that such a state of consciousness is true to life. That is, ontologically valid. How could anyone decide that? Also empirical reality IS reality. Unity Consciousness does NOT mean one is the embodiment of reality. Reality obviously permits persons to have the experienceeven to function perfectly in the physiological and mechanical modeof Unity Consciousness. What reality does NOT endorse is the idea that Unity Consciousness is a truthful representation of either itself (reality: Unity Consciousness as a microcosm of what reality is) Reality is represented by what is real. or of the highest state that a human being is capable of achieving spiritually. Highest or lowest are relative terms, they cannot be the ultimate definition of reality. Indeed, as I found out even more convincingly than how I discovered myself in Unity Consciousness, Unity Consciousness is a form of mystical deceit, a metaphysically false state of consciousness. There can be no metaphysical false state of consciousness. States of consciousness are simply states of consciousness. Remember: it is very real, it is an objective state of consciousness; but, for all that, NOT IN ACCORDANCE WITH REALITY. That is a self-contradicting statement. Somehow you have defined 'Reality' before the investigation. It is a statement by definition. snip Being in Unity Consciousness meant, for me, being INCAPABLE of being bested in a one-on-one encounter with another human being. And by this, I mean that being enlightened meant one was grounded (evidently) in a state of consciousness which was deeper, more versatile, more creative, more attuned, more commandingwithout even the faintest effort to BE thisthan the consciousness of any person who was still in waking state consciousness. Others have alraedy pointed out, how problematic it is to define unity by a comparision with others, especially by a superiority you felt to others. The very first thing present in unity should be the very absense of an 'I' consciousness, the idea, that it is you being better than others. In fact, if you are truly enlightened, you would perceive everybody else as enlightened as well, you would in fact see no differences. That is what unity is supposed to be about. Otherwise it would be a one-upmanship. You would see existence as the actor, not yourself, and it does not matter if existence acts through you or somebody else. snip And yet I eventually arbitrarily decided that even though my enlightenment could not, as it were, 'go down to defeat'from ANY opposition, including MaharishiI knew that it HAD to be rejected and dismantled. Reality, existence does not depend on an act. It cannot be rejected or dismantled, it is always there, but can be veiled or revealed. snip Well, because essentially I had exposed myself intellectually to another paradigm of reality other than Maharishi's, other than the Eastern paradigm of spirituality. This is another BIG misunderstanding: In fact you are equating eastern, and I'll be nice to you and only refer to indian as eastern, spirituality with advaita vedanta, and again advaita vedanta with the consciousness model of Maharishi. Both is false. Most of indian spirituality is not advaita, and also, advaita is not represented by the consciousness model of Maharishi (which is a simplification, as others have pointed out already). Therefore, the conclusions of indian spirituality are not the same

[FairfieldLife] Death by Neti Pot
http://new.dhh.louisiana.gov/index.cfm/newsroom/detail/2332 The Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals is warning residents about the dangers of the improper use of neti pots. The warning follows the state's second death this year caused by Naegleria fowleri, the so-called brain-eating ameba. A 51-year-old DeSoto Parish woman died recently after using tap water in a neti pot to irrigate her sinuses and becoming infected with the deadly ameba. In June, a 20-year-old St. Bernard Parish man died under the same circumstances. Naegleria fowleri infects people by entering the body through the nose. A neti pot is commonly used to irrigate sinuses, and looks like a genie's lamp.

Continues: If you are irrigating, flushing, or rinsing your sinuses, for example, by using a neti pot, use distilled, sterile or previously boiled water to make up the irrigation solution, said Louisiana State Epidemiologist, Dr. Raoult Ratard. Tap water is safe for drinking, but not for irrigating your nose. It's also important to rinse the irrigation device after each use and leave open to air dry.

[FairfieldLife] Re: SECOND Open [non-performance] Letter to Ravi Chivukula
Well, it certainly is entertaining for me to watch the two of you discussing me at such great length. Hopefully you're close to exhausting the Judy topic and will be moving on to other more significant issues. I do want to make a couple of comments: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, maskedzebra no_reply@... wrote: PART IV: Robin to Curtis --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, curtisdeltablues curtisdeltablues@ wrote: snip Our only interaction is in the environment arguing about something she cherishes and I mock. Not true AT ALL. Curtis and I have interacted with regard to a wide range of topics, from politics to philosophy to pig's blood to pedophilia and other subjects all over the map. In many cases they've been arguments, but in quite a few they've been friendly discussions. How has Curtis managed to send everything he and I have talked about except for something she cherishes and I mock down the memory hole? Is it a tactic to isolate me as a TM-TB whose only disagreements with Curtis are about TM-related issues and thus induce all the TM critics--at least, those who are reading this exchange between Robin and himself--to take his side? snip I may be wrong in this; but it is my impression that Judy respects you, even feelswhen she canan affection for you. You see how disconnected I am from the Curtis reality, You're closer to my reality than you are to Curtis's, Robin. My feelings about Curtis are distinctly mixed. I've told him on several occasions that something he's said (or failed to say) has disappointed me--IOW, that he didn't meet my expectations of him. Now, Curtis isn't responsible for my expectations or the disappointments thereof, but the point is that I wouldn't have high expectations of him if I didn't hold him in some considerable esteem. There are many things I respect and admire about Curtis, and some that I don't. I tweak him about his Mr. Wonderful act, but it's not all an act by any means. It's the Mr.-Not-So-Terrific aspects of Curtis that I find frustrating; they stick out like the proverbial sore thumbs. Affection per se, I dunno, but there are many times when I wish him well. There's no question that he tends to see anything I say to or about him that's even remotely critical as uncharitable. It's a lot easier to avoid hearing criticism if one can define it as coming from a person who takes an uncharitable view of oneself. One more point I want to make here, although it isn't referenced so much in this post as the previous ones. Robin mentioned the issue of Curtis's refusal to speak up about Barry's bad behavior, and Curtis succeeded in turning that into an issue about Barry's and my quarrels and Curtis's reasons for not interfering in them. In fact, though, in the week before Curtis overposted, one of the two main issues he was dealing with that *led* him to overpost was that he was being criticized by quite a few folks here for his tolerance of Barry's viciousness toward the many people on the forum Barry doesn't like. It isn't just about me and Barry, it's about Barry and all the folks he insults and demeans on a regular basis, and Curtis's unwillingness to say anything about the unpleasantness Barry is constantly injecting into the discourse here. Curtis very neatly avoided that issue by shrinking its scope and significance to the Barry-Judy feud. Oh, there's one last point. In an earlier post to Robin, Curtis wrote: Wow, you and Judy really need to get a room. I have had years of this bullshit from her Robin. Don't think you are gunna get a rise out of me because I have a friendly relationship with Barry that includes us not butting into each other's business with other people. In fact, Barry regularly butts into Curtis's business with other people. That was the *other* reason Curtis overposted a few weeks ago; he was dealing with the fallout from Barry's revelation of something Curtis had said to Barry about Robin in private email. The good feeling between Curtis and Robin had begun to fray not too long before that. Barry saw the crack opening between them and decided to drive a wedge into it. Barry has butted into Curtis's business with me countless times. He's butted into Curtis's business with those Barry calls the Terminally Self Important--including me, Ravi, Robin, and Jim--comparing us to lepers showing off their sores to Curtis, characterizing him as the Mother Teresa of the Internet. Barry feels *absolutely no inhibitions whatsoever* about butting into Curtis's business with other people and does it routinely. That Curtis has somehow managed to block all this from his awareness is astonishing to me. OK, Judy over and out. Just had to put a few words in. I hope you guys can get it worked out and get back to the *vastly* more interesting dialogue you were having earlier.

[FairfieldLife] Re: another question for MZ, and maybe William of Occam
To whom ever wrote this.. Your answer is very simple.. With regards to TM and anything Mahesh Yogi wrote or ever said about God was from his own perspective.. Nothing Mahesh Yogi said was regarding God was remotely accurate!! Just look at Mahesh Yogi's teacher-- Sri Brahmananda -- whom referred to God as Ishtadevata. Or to use your own words- Vaishnavas, and they believe in a qualified monism, visisht advaita.. Mahesh Yogi's own master - Sri Brahmananda was a Hindu/ Vaishnavav who taught Bhakti as qualified monism to Ishtadevata. Sri Brahmamnada gave out names of God/Ishtadevata or mantras to be used in worship as He himself even lectured countless times. Sri Brahmananda had 6 names of Ishtadevata that He used to teach to his disciples, and ONLY ONE of the names of God/Ishtadevata(or mantra) was used for worship of Nirakar Brahma (the formless form of God). The other five mantras related directly to Sakar Brahma- God in His personal Form-(either Ram or Vishnu or Shakti, etc). It is important to keep this in mind! If you don't believe me look at Paul Mason webpage devoted to Sri Brahmananda..it is all there from Sri Brhamananda's own lectures and interviews given by His disciples!! Which brings us to the - Holy Tradition -that Mahesh Yogi conjured up starting with Sri Adi Shankar.. Who also taught and was (to use your own words) Vaishnavas, and they believe in a qualified monism, visisht advaita.. Sri Adi Shankar defeated the Buddhists with the philosphy of advait vedanta. But Sri Adi Shankar did not teach advait vedanta. Sri Adi Shankar taught devotion to Sri Govinda (Lord Krishna). It is a fact .. As I can cite all of Sri Adi Shankar Ashrams from Puri to Dwarika to Jyosimath to Kanchi to Varanasi..all teach as you pointed out Vaishnavas, and they believe in a qualified monism, visisht advaita! So what are we left with regards to Mahesh Yogi? Now based upon MY OWN experiences to which I was asked to PROVE or DEMONSTRATE by- Dr. Charles Alexander, PhD at MIU in 1986.. So I spent 7 nights over the course of 9 months in Dr. Moorecroft's sleep and dream lab at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa. The study that I was only PRIME subject tested was overseen by Dr. Jayne Gackenback, PhD University Northern Iowa at Waterloo, Ia and Dr. Stephen LaBerge, PhD Stanford University, and Dr. Charles Alexander, PhD MIU. Here at this website you can read the results of the study done on me as submitted to the International Symposium of Sleep and Dream Research in Oslo Norway in 1987... http://www.spiritwatch.ca/ A portion of the study said this about me-, ..This TM subject (TMS) was a 28 year old male who had been meditating for 5.8 years and received one of the highest scores thus far recorded on an inventory designed to assess self reports of the attainment of higher states of consciousness (Stage of Consciousness Inventory (SCI); Alexander, Davis, Dillbeck, Dixon, Oetzel Muehlman, in press). Further, he received low scores on the SCI scales which assess psychopathology and tendency to endorse misleading, grandiose sounding statements. During TM practice he displayed exceptionally high amplitude alpha spindles across all EEG channels and periods of respiratory suspension (Kesterson, 1985)... What does this have to do with Unity Consciousness ..well I had proven beyond any doubt that I had established this untiy consciousness and furthermore I was the only person willing to subject themselves to the rigirous scrutiny of the entire scientific community to prove it. I can tell you this that the unity consciousness that these TM-ers dearly seek is a complete waste of time as it has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with God/Ishatdevata. And even IF these TM-ers had this unity consciounsess they would not want it! It is cosmic nothingness.. devoid of God/Ishtadevata! Ask yourself..how can you be in unity consciousness with a stone? or an automobile? ..or a glass of water? These are lifeless objects..there isn't any underlying Reality that permeates these lifeless objects! To even persist in that debate is comptelety insane! Some burned out x-hippy's fascination with 40 year old acid trip! Even to a God-realized Saint like Sri Brahmananda the lifeless objects were just that..part and parcel of Maya..inantimate and lifeless.. Sri Brahmananda did not lecture about oness or unity with the material universe or Maya!!, and neither did Sri Adi Shankar!! And even to this day in all of Sri Shankar's Ashram the teaching is unity of HEART with God/Ishtdevata through the path of Bhakti!! There isn't any teaching of Sri Adi Shankar regarding intellectual discerment and mental repeatition of a meaningless sound to achieve unity consciouness with a rock or automobile!! See if you can find that nonsense of Mahesh Yogi in any Ashram of Sri Adi Shankar! --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, zarzari_786 no_reply@... wrote: I must say, that until now, I was quite clueless of
