Dear laughinggull - thank you, I have had lot of discussions with myself on
the pros and cons of using that word and even the last time I have had this
I haven't found a compelling reason to stop  but the future is potent. I
think there's only one who can put an end to it but she doesn't care enough
at this point.

A great idea - but I haven't found a way yet to package the Divine Vodka

No the old man hasn't ever used these words let alone patent is, may be the

Wow Susan, let us not change the topic.  Curiously, do you think that we are 
just contributors to a planetary cycle already in process or do you think we, 
as humans, are the reason this process is happening?  I am posing the 
simplistic main question I hear when out and about.

There has been lots of regularly reported info out for at least 8 years now.  
No one reads it, or has taken it seriously, even though there is plenty of 
scientific data behind it and has been. This is the most significant problem of 
all for humanity and for this planet, but people have focused on other s..t all 
these years. 

The only real change in the last decade is that the whole process of global 
warming is happening EVEN FASTER than the direst predictions of a decade ago.  
The only reason people are now paying attention is that is is costing them 
money or might do so. And by the time that happens, it is too late.  Actually, 
unless science comes up with a way to undo or mitigate drastically what has 
ALREADY happened, it is too late.  Some people will probably survive in the 
end. But it will get mighty ugly along the way.If they can find a way to 
change this scenario, that would be the age of enlightenment, really and truly 
a miracle.  The bulk of our resources should go to that - a planetary race, a 
competition, to figure this out.  That is where we are at, whether the public 
gets this or not.  Living off the grid, buying a Prius, recycling, driving less 
- all are nice and helpful but don't make a dent in the catastrophe that is 
going on right now.

Let's change the topic - I spent nearly half a year in a real funk about this 
in 2006.  I had to make a decision to not read more about it or think too much 
on it.

The rotting of words, it too bicuspid

Drowning
all passion thick, all zeal

Just ending the train horns blown as the trains pass through Fairfield sounds 
positively effeminate compared to sitting down in front of trains or derailing 
them to stop the endless flow of coal through town that powers our destruction. 
 Yep, coal-train railway workers and locomotives are all our enemy now.

Yep, the old way was tilting at windmills but I'd be in favor of a sabre charge 
at railway workers and their locomotives now who haul the coal to the 
coal-fired utility electric generators.  They are the problem along with 
non-meditation and non-meditators.

Oh c'mon, the real reason is right before your eyes: Drunvalo Melchizedek vs. 
Michael Jackson. Your problem is that you didn't pick a name that conveys 
spiritual authority. If you were Thorchaq Beldorzelon, you'd have people eating 
out of your hands, just dying to give you money.


 

[FairfieldLife] Re: The End of the World as we Know It

2012-12-03 Thread Susan
There has been lots of regularly reported info out for at least 8 years now.  
No one reads it, or has taken it seriously, even though there is plenty of 
scientific data behind it and has been. This is the most significant problem of 
all for humanity and for this planet, but people have focused on other s..t all 
these years.  

The only real change in the last decade is that the whole process of global 
warming is happening EVEN FASTER than the direst predictions of a decade ago.  
The only reason people are now paying attention is that is is costing them 
money or might do so. And by the time that happens, it is too late.  Actually, 
unless science comes up with a way to undo or mitigate drastically what has 
ALREADY happened, it is too late.  Some people will probably survive in the 
end. But it will get mighty ugly along the way.If they can find a way to 
change this scenario, that would be the age of enlightenment, really and truly 
a miracle.  The bulk of our resources should go to that - a planetary race, a 
competition, to figure this out.  That is where we are at, whether the public 
gets this or not.  Living off the grid, buying a Prius, recycling, driving less 
- all are nice and helpful but don't make a dent in the catastrophe that is 
going on right now.

Let's change the topic - I spent nearly half a year in a real funk about this 
in 2006.  I had to make a decision to not read more about it or think too much 
on it.

Direct action.  I am surprized that the sustainable living movement has not 
taken more vigorous social action on this.  Like, back in the Vietnam War days 
we closed interstates and threw bricks through General Motors auto showrooms 
and smashed the glass out of entire lots of new cars to end the war and bring 
our brothers home.

You hit the nail on the head - if it doesn't translate to direct, practical 
benefit, who needs it? Which is not to say the celestial and astral worlds 
cannot provide incalculable benefit, and endless learning opportunities, but a 
person has to know what they are doing there, and be able to explain it in 
simple enough terms to others, especially if charging $$$. To do otherwise 
is like that old saying about selling a diamond for the price of spinach, or in 
this case, probably a cheap looking Mercedes (sorry Mercedes fans, but since 
Chrysler bought you, the styling is sub-par...).

Oh c'mon, the real reason is right before your eyes: Drunvalo Melchizedek vs. 
Michael Jackson. Your problem is that you didn't pick a name that conveys 
spiritual authority. If you were Thorchaq Beldorzelon, you'd have people eating 
out of your hands, just dying to give you money.

"All the interest that you feel in occasional

What a fabulous sentence. While I have considerable
difficulty with Stevens's poetry, I love the seemingly
artless precision and delicacy of the prose in his
letters.

Did he get a lot of criticism of his penchant for
"clickety-clack" in his poems?

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: a practical mystic

2012-12-03 Thread Michael Jackson
You know, all these posts about the celestial city woman have made me think - I 
have seen and done a lot of esoteric stuff since I left MIU in 1987 - and the 
way I feel about most all of this stuff is, and I include my own channeling 
that I have done in this, is that the session or workshop may feel good, it may 
feel mighty good, but the world still awaits - the next day you may see your 
bank account is overdrawn, or your spouse tells you they want a divorce or you 
kids sass you - what counts is what we do in the small things of life - how we 
react if we get cut off in traffic or how we react if that horse misbehaves 
when we try to put him in the barn

In other words, if the esoteric experience does not translate into practical 
healing and by that I mean did it help you see life in a more positive way, or 
help you not react in a way that is going to make you explode inside, or 
actually maybe help you release something you been holding onto for years that 
isn't serving you in a positive way - then it ain't any better than watching a 
good movie - fun but the world still waits for you after you finish viewing.

I have seen and heard all kinds of stuff is gone happen ever since the good old 
Harmonic Convergence - all the celestial cities getting activated or more 
commonly vortex activations and all that jazz - I have heard all this great 
stuff is gone happen after the planets do thus and so - and I am not holding my 
breath - after everyone of these events we still have to deal with ourselves 
and deal honestly with ourselves.

I do include my own channeling in this - the sessions have made some people 
feel good in the moment, and hopefully have helped in a more substantial way - 
but that is for them to say. Ha! My attitude is probably why I have not become 
world famous as a channel cuz I don't hype it all up and claim I am some 
special high muckety muck like that guy Drunvalo

Oh well, that is my thought for today.

Raunchy just said it in the proverbial nutshell.  And I just love that word  
"puddinghead".

You know, for every walk of life there are those who prey on others who 
sincerely want answers and to understand deeper aspects of this thing we call 
life. And since much of what these deluded "teachers" assert is unprovable they 
get to spout any amount of gibberish.  It actually makes me crazy.  Do these 
shmos ever get heckled?

manufacture and consume their way out of this. No, think 1820.  Think standard

that people on the invincible America course use are small efficient

The report estimated that carbon dioxide (CO2) accounted for 85% of the 
"radiative forcing" that led to global temperature rises.

Other potent greenhouse gases such as methane also recorded new highs, 
according to the WMO report.

Nope, think of the concrete that would take. Fancy design is not necessarily 
going to save us.  The exponential use of concrete in the last century is a lot 
of what propelled carbon dioxide emissions.  Using concrete is incredibly 
carbon dioxide intensive.  Is much more appropriate to live much more simply

return to an 1820's pedestrian standard of living that should include a lot

Raunchy just said it in the proverbial nutshell.  And I just love that word  
"puddinghead".

You know, for every walk of life there are those who prey on others who 
sincerely want answers and to understand deeper aspects of this thing we call 
life. And since much of what these deluded "teachers" assert is unprovable they 
get to spout any amount of gibberish.  It actually makes me crazy.  Do these 
shmos ever get heckled? 

Here is an excerpt from the following website:

http://adironndaspiritualhealer.com/join-the-clarion-call/ 

*bj King is a practical mystic and the Director of the 
Namaste Retreat Center, in Oklahoma City.  She's an expert in Oversoul 
to Oversoul Communication and a liaison between the Intergalactic Federation, 
The Spiritual Hierarchy, Angels and Humanity. She's written many books 
and travels extensively to conduct energy work to aid in the protection 
of Humanity and the Earth. bj is a powerful, yet hilarious teacher.

"Hilarious" is right.

And I am speaking about bj, not about Share here. If Barry thinks it is my way 
of picking a fight with her he continues to prove he is mistaken about much of 
what goes on with me and my relation to FFL.  My comments are about Ms King, 
based on various written descriptions of her pursuits. If Share chooses to feel 
differently about bj and wants to believe what this woman espouses then that is 
her business but I have an opinion too. So far, Share is showing her more fluid 
side by laughing along a little bit with me. I.e. she is being a good sport.

lol. When this happens, the person's gifts may be valid, though with
these bizarre statements as you have quoted from 'bj king' (what a
name...), it is clear that this person needs to integrate themselves
more before truly providing service, unless they enjoy intentionally
hiding behind this esoteric mumbo-jumbo.

Well, Share doesn't engage in communication with Emily and

in the first place.

There's no point in speculating about benefits unless Share

Again, the first thing that has to happen is for Share to

I wouldn't know, but maybe, eh?  Seems to me that the Sun's radiation might be

No need for you to understand or care about the issues

If seven different people have the same criticisms, then

Yikes! Please don't try to pronounce that in Russian! :]

y = ы, most difficult Russian vowel sound, with no equivalent in English. 
Closest sound is ei as in being, but vocalised from the back of the throat with

 Non-meditators are the real carbon polluters behind the destruction of the 
 global climate. Well you know a positive scientific case could be made 
 that spiritual people who are regular meditators and especially meditating 
 on the Invincible American course are much less responsible for global 
 climate change than the average non-meditating American or any other first 
 world or developing nation peoples.  Simply on a materialistic level of 
 gross consumption, that anyone who is on the full schedule of meditation 
 in the Domes contributing to world peace otherwise in fact creates much 
 less carbon damage to the atmosphere and global climate than the average 
 CO2 emitting consuming American.  At a minimum, people on the Invincible

Seems that if you domers were serious and since the RUs pretty much own 
the town why don't you put in a small light rail system that stops at 
the dome as well as downtown probably could connect to Vedic City, etc?

The civic virtue of a slim carbon footprint of meditators vs. the fat footprint 
of non-meditators could easily be calculated just looking outside the Domes.  
The number of people commuting on bicycles and foot  is quite noteworthy and 
impressive.  The car fleet parked outside too.  The number of high efficiency 
cars comparatively.  The age of the overall car fleet too reflecting the thrift 
in use of carbon capital tied up in the life-cycle of cars.  I'd estimate by 
looking in the parking lots outside the Domes that the average age of vehicles 
of the meditating community is at least 20 years old.  Most of the older cars 
that people on the invincible America course use are small efficient imports of 
old. Vehicles are one of the more carbon intensive things we use.  Meditators 
are clearly better, as in have smaller carbon footprints, than non-meditators.  
Look at the big weight SUV guzzlers and pickup trucks the non-meditators drive 
by contrast.  It's shameful the difference.

I meditate a lot, but when I work I have to drive. Today I must drive
about 100 miles (160km). It depends on what you do to stay alive. Also,
whoever supports people on courses must have to do things that keep the
cash flowing, and they generate CO2. People who live in assisted living
facilities probably do not use much resources either, as they are old,
don't drive much or at all, have communally produced meals etc.

Come on Buck, all those cars driving to the dome every day? This is simple

though meditators probably exhale a bit less, but it depends on how much 
activity you are engaged in. How much you drive CO2 emitting vehicles, how much

[FairfieldLife] A Wallace Stevens Letter: Reading Criticism of Oneself

2012-12-03 Thread Robin Carlsen
To Jose Rodriguez Feo

Hartford, Conn
January 26, 1945

Dear Mr. Rodriquez-Feo,

I put off replying to your letter of January 23d until after the arrival of the 
watercolors. They came on the coldest day of one of our coldest winters, and 
they looked unhappy in the gloomy light of that particular day. However, the 
picture of the pineapples, which I put in my bedroom, is now quite the master 
of that scene, and is as bright and cheerful a thing as there is in the house. 
The other one, the figure, I shall have to take to New York to have framed the 
next time I go down. They are both a great deal more Cuban than you are likely 
to realize so that, in addition to one's sense of a new and fresh artist, there 
is the sense of an unfamiliar place. I say unfamiliar, even though I have been 
to Havana twice, but the stranger in Havana probably gets very little of Cuba. 
On my first trip, about 25 years ago I should say, I went down alone and spent 
the greater part of a week there. Then, about five years later, my wife and I 
stopped there for about a day on the way to California by way of the Canal. 
When I was there alone, on my first trip, I walked round the town a great deal 
and concluded by wanting in the wildest way to study Spanish, which I really 
began. Then I used to buy bundles of *El Sol* of Madrid and do my studying by 
looking these over. Little by little it got away from me. For many years since 
then I have gone to Key West and stayed a few weeks every winter at the Casa 
Marina. Of course, this has not been possible these last two or three years, 
because that hotel has been in the hands of the Government and, since it is the 
only decent place there, I have not gone at all.

About Winters' Anatomy: Although I have a copy of the book I haven't read it 
and, in particular, have not read a line of his essay on my own poetry. This is 
out of pure virtue, because I think it disturbs one to read either praise or 
blame. There is something about poets, and probably about all writers, 
painters, musicians, etc., that makes them exceedingly eager for notice, which 
is a way of saying for praise. Moreover, they are easily and violently 
disturbed by the opposite; they will pay a degree of attention to hostile 
comment. Among other men not of their sort, as, for example, businessmen, 
politicians, etc., having to deal with the same sort of thing, it would not 
receive a moment's attention. But, since criticism is disturbing, whether it is 
favorable or unfavorable, I don't read it except occasionally, in the case of a 
man about whose judgment no question exists. I cannot say that this is true of 
Winters. Blackmur is immeasurably superior to him. I don't mean to say that he 
is any more intelligent, or any more sensitive, but he is more sensible, less 
eccentric. There is, however, a serious defect in Blackmur, you haven't the 
faintest idea what he has been talking about. Either he has too many ideas or 
too few; it is hard to say which. How many ideas are there in currency that can 
be said to be purely Blackmurean ideas? Most critics very soon become 
identified with a group of principles or, say, a group of ideas; I cannot say 
that Blackmur is identified with anything. And the truth is that I don't know 
of any good solid book on modern poetry. Morton Dauwen Zabel is a man of 
extraordinary intelligence, but it is hard to say to what he is primarily 
devoted. I think he is equally interested in both poetry and religion, and that 
creates a difficulty, because it inclines him to adopt some comparison with 
religion as the final test of poetry. However, I like Mr. Zabel more than these 
remarks might suggest.

The major men, about whom you ask, are neither exponents of humanism nor 
Nietzschean shadows. I confess that I don't want to limit myself as to my 
objective, so that in *Notes Towards A Supreme Fiction* and elsewhere I have at 
least trifled with the idea of some arbitrary object of belief: some artificial 
subject for poetry, a source of poetry. The major men are part of the entourage 
of that artificial object. All the interest that you feel in occasional 
frivolities I seem to experience in sounds, and many lines exist because I 
enjoy their clickety-clack in contrast with the more decorous pom-pom-pom that 
people expect.

Your mention of Alfonso Reyes is just the sort of allusion that makes me wish 
with all the excitement of a real wish that I knew Spanish better than I do. 
One grows tired of the familiar figures and to be able to find a fresh mind in 
a Mexican critic, or in the many writers in South America, and elsewhere in the 
Spanish-speaking countries, for which one would feel an instinctive respect 
would be a real excitement. It is, however, too late for me to attempt to 
become really familiar with another language.

I agree although I do think that things can affect other things at a distance 
and I am willing to believe that "good vibes" no matter who generates them can 
have a positive influence - you know its kind of like going into someone's home 
where the place is opulent but the energy makes you want to run out of there or 
go into a home of some blue collar working stiff and the atmosphere is so 
comfortable you wanna stay a long time.

It reminds me of the person who said they were the last reporter to interview 
the Big M:


Inside
the spacious compound, all the men (I saw no women) wore identical fawn-colored 
suits and disconcerting, far-away smiles.
They
were polite enough, but the place seemed utterly devoid of warmth.

For myself I just can't get past the idea that the Dome activity 
does all this good stuff while shit still happens right there in 
Fairfield and Jefferson County - if these places were obviously 
different than all the surrounding towns and counties in terms of crimes 
committed, accident rates, divorces etc. then I would come be in the 
Domes meself - but since it hasn't happened since the Domes were 
constructed, I shan't.

LOL. I can identify. Santa Fe was *full* of Women 
With Baggage. *Not* to be sexist -- it was full of
Men With Baggage, too. 

What I sussed out from having been captured by the
place on early visits there and thinking, "Wow...
the *vibe* of this place...I'll bet I could really
change there" was that the reality was more along
the lines of "I could move here and take my bloody
time about changing." There was a kind of "rut" to
Santa Fe that allowed people to hand onto their
baggage far longer than they needed to.

It actually was a kinda cool place, once you figured
out how to avoid the New Age crowd and hang with the
real locals. Very democratic place -- "who" you were
or thought you were back where you came from didn't
matter, how much money you had didn't matter, and
whatever bullshit PR you pushed out about yourself
didn't matter. At the bar, your only value was 
whether you could keep up your end of the 
conversation. I like that in a place.

I was there for about a month and then left (she said she was really enjoying

You do believe in that Dome meditation don't you? 

As to this:
I spoke about that problem with one of the important Rajas and he said 
two things, first was "What problems of the past?" and second, "I'm not 
going to respond to every person on the internet saying things".

They don't deal with these things because their positions and often their 
actions and policies are indefensible. 

They also do not like to be in any position other than that of an authority 
figure, telling other people what to do. This is a very comfortable position 
since it means they are not examining themselves at all - this is one of the 
things that is most needed by these people - they need to look at themselves 
honestly - a little Course in Miracles would do them a world of good.

They don't want to appear as anything other than a kind of maharishi in their 
own right - I think they get off on being dispensers of wisdom

You conversation with that raja shows a great deal of why the whole world isn't 
doing TM and people like me have left long ago.

Thanks for your invitation to join you in the Dome, but I would never be 
allowed back in because: 1 - I used to channel, 2 - I have written any number 
of things that they would find to be TM blasphemy and since I use my real name 
on most of those venues, I couldn't hide the fact and of course wouldn't want 
to.

Believe me, I would love love love to get on Oprah's show and have a face to 
face with Bevan, Neil, Bob Roth and a couple others. But thanks for the invite 
- besides I bet I am still allergic to formaldehyde.

Jack, yours here in this post is the long indictment but I sense that most 
people are just moving forward.  We all kind of know this stuff but are not 
getting held up by it.  Sort of like armies will go around a fortified tower 
and let it starve and surrender.   With the leadership now the past evidently 
is the past by not saying much about it and being in the here and now towards 
going forward.  Going forward selectively with what good things they have is a 
practical choice and it proly is better for them to just be as clear and 
transparent in their accounting and expression of their goals and mission 
statements going forward as such.  They certainly are not able to bring 
themselves to acknowledge or discuss the past as it certainly seems to be a 
lesser state of evolution as you in fact fairly recite it and they are way too 
enmeshed in it to effectively get in to the morass of it.  It's a communal 
problem that people mitigate for themselves.  I spoke
 about that problem with one of the important Rajas and he said two things, 
first was "What problems of the past?" and second, "I'm not going to respond to 
every person on the internet saying things".  That is a choice.  It is all in 
process and of course unresolved.  They will always be dogged by it as long as 
they live but it is all a part of what makes human nature interesting here.
You ought to come back to the Dome to meditate.  It is pretty nice as a place 
to meditate.
Warm Regards,

Once again it is evident that the problem with society is, 'non-meditation'.  
Even just stopping and taking a quiet time meditation twice a day would be good 
for the global climate.  In prudent public policy taking quiet time meditation 
breaks at least twice a day should probably be required for everyone's 
well-being and safety.

other around whilst the watchers eat chicken wings and chug booze is a mighty 
satisfying way to spend a day - all the esoteric stuff has its place and some 
enjoy it - I wonder how many of these practitioners would be practicing their 
arts if they were independently wealthy and didn't need to ply their esoteric 
trade to make ends meet - I have known a bunch of them - Santa Fe used to be 
filled with them

Non-meditators are the real carbon polluters behind the destruction of the 
global climate. Well you know a positive scientific case could be made that 
spiritual people who are regular meditators and especially meditating on the 
Invincible American course are much less responsible for global climate change 
than the average non-meditating American or any other first world or developing 
nation peoples.  Simply on a materialistic level of gross consumption, that 
anyone who is on the full schedule of meditation in the Domes contributing to 
world peace otherwise in fact creates much less carbon damage to the atmosphere 
and global climate than the average CO2 emitting consuming American.  At a 
minimum, people on the Invincible America course simply do not have the time to 
consume materially like non-meditaters do.

2012-12-03 Thread Buck
Jack, yours here in this post is the long indictment but I sense that most 
people are just moving forward.  We all kind of know this stuff but are not 
getting held up by it.  Sort of like armies will go around a fortified tower 
and let it starve and surrender.   With the leadership now the past evidently 
is the past by not saying much about it and being in the here and now towards 
going forward.  Going forward selectively with what good things they have is a 
practical choice and it proly is better for them to just be as clear and 
transparent in their accounting and expression of their goals and mission 
statements going forward as such.  They certainly are not able to bring 
themselves to acknowledge or discuss the past as it certainly seems to be a 
lesser state of evolution as you in fact fairly recite it and they are way too 
enmeshed in it to effectively get in to the morass of it.  It's a communal 
problem that people mitigate for themselves.  I spoke about that problem with 
one of the important Rajas and he said two things, first was "What problems of 
the past?" and second, "I'm not going to respond to every person on the 
internet saying things".  That is a choice.  It is all in process and of course 
unresolved.  They will always be dogged by it as long as they live but it is 
all a part of what makes human nature interesting here.
You ought to come back to the Dome to meditate.  It is pretty nice as a place 
to meditate.
Warm Regards,

BUCK according to Farmers Almanac, east will be wetter and colder, west will be 
drier and warmer and us in the middle will have fluctuating temps and storms.  
But I bet you already knew that.  It's like spring out there today!  The air so 
full of moisture feels wonderful on my skin.

SUSAN thanks for your feedback.  I'm taking it one step at a time.


ALEX John Newton also has a good sense of humor.  We women are more partial to 
that in general.

DOC of course I'm always in Divine Grace.  But bj's question is a great way to 
keep lively the connection between that and daily life.

RD, yours is the only post that didn't arrive to my inbox this morning.  I 
found it when I went to archives looking for a post of Bucks that I accidently 
deleted from Trash.  Anyway, when Emily wrote to me or if you prefer, that 
sounded like a question to me.  So I answered by telling her what I prefer.  I 
agree that nobody causes anybody to feel anything.  But I agree with Marshall 
Rosenberg who qualifies that by saying that we do contribute to the feelings of 
others.  Meaning that what we do and say has an influence on the feelings of 
others.  Seems kind of common sense to me but also a useful distinction to make.

STEVE what is a bogey and how can I tell if one is still on my bottom?  Thank 
you (-:

ANN I'm not sure what Ms. King's initials stands for.  She's from Texas so I'm 
guessing a nice southern name like Betty Jean.  As for the other meaning, 
perhaps she keeps those initials just so people can be helped in working on 
their sexual issues.  As for financial rape, her presentation on Saturday night 
was free.  There was also a bunch of free materials.  Also some for which she 
asked a donation.  I don't attend the presentation of every teacher healer who 
comes to FF.  In fact I didn't attend Kenji's recent Quantum Lightweaving 
workshop!  But I saw bj when she was here 6 years ago and I found her info 
fascinating.  Plus I REALLY like her energy and the energy of the people who 
attend her events.  From my POV a rapist is someone
 who invades without permission.  I find her to be respectful of boundaries.

Ok, I'm off to writing group this afternoon.  Back later.      

What is the next single thing for me to do or know for me to be in a state of

I guess you attend most of these kinds of things that happen their way through 
FF? I want to tell you that I appreciate the fact that you were a good sport 
about me poking fun at dear bj (what does that stand for, by the way, other 
than the most common acronym for 'blow job'?) and yourself. I do have to 
ask/say something sort of serious here though. Based on her little write up and 
even what you just told me above I would have to question whether she would 
qualify as a sort of (and don't get mad now) 'spiritual rapist'? Does she 
actually present these ideas with a straight face and also charge real money? 
If so, is she also a 'financial rapist'?

Anyway, I will keep alert for those critterslikehorses with the big eyes.

real enlightenment means the ego is no longer functioning as ego - it get

Jack, In my experience with him Maharishi was illumined but the classical

comes with standard equipment including an ego.
The science and the technique in meditation still hold for bringing peace

Without doing so. 

Clearly, your "promises" are as binding as Judy's

You have the ability to just DROP IT and not start

Neither does Share, and neither do Ann and Judy and
Raunchy and Ravi and Robin. 

Why should anyone believe your "promises?"

A perfect example of someone exploiting their immature talents, for money, fame 
and attention - very much OJT (On the Job Training) - lol. When this happens, 
the person's gifts may be valid, though with these bizarre statements as you 
have quoted from 'bj king' (what a name...), it is clear that this person needs 
to integrate themselves more before truly providing service, unless they enjoy 
intentionally hiding behind this esoteric mumbo-jumbo.
 
Some are smart enough to accept an explanation of even uncommon events, if the 
purpose is to communicate, vs. simply attempt to impress. Unfortunately for 
most, we as a human race have managed to divorce ourselves en mass from our 
core, leaving us so vulnerable to anyone who appears to have the merest 
insights into the ordinarily unseen world.

Not a "bad" thing, overall, but caveat emptor applies, always; sole 
responsibility.

Share,

Mars will be exalted in Capricorn later this month.  IMO, there will be more 
revelations of discoveries of the Curiosity rover on Mars.  Here in San 
Francisco, CA, NASA will reveal today what they found recently which has been a 
subject of speculation for the past few weeks.  Stay tuned.

This should be a multi- pronged attack on poverty.  One, more public investment 
in public education and early education to get those children in poverty out of 
their miserable home environments as early as possible; and two, the David 
Lynch Foundation should develop a massive subsidy program to initiate more 
people who are in poverty in to meditation.  And three, as a society we need to 
start immediately a rigorous program of licensing marriage based on competence 
standards.

Yes, Ann I went to bj's presentation.  However I don't have the celestial 
perception necessary to know if we set up a city of light over Iowa.  I'll 
check with John Newton, remember him, when he returns to Fairfield on Wednesday

Definitely my heart got activated.  And asking the question helps keep it so. 

BTW, bj's next stop is somewhere between Portland and Seattle.  She's coming 
your way, girls (-:

I'm sure your twinkly lights will count.  Maybe even extra (-:

Ann wrote:  Whoa, you went to bj? I thought it was a joke when it was posted. 
Did 
you set up any divine cities of light anywhere up in the atmosphere? 
Were any of your body parts activated by bj?  I'm going to put up my 
Christmas tree and that has lots of twinkly lights, will that count?




 Ann asked:  Holy God in Heaven, need I say more?

Share replies, how about:  what is the next single thing for me to do or know 
for me to be in a state of Divine Grace? (-:

BTW, it was a large group that included many I consider the smartest TSR 
people: neurologists, nurses, midwives, ayurveda techs.  Oh and Michael, 
several people who are really into Matrix Energetics.

Just for Ann, here is one of the last things she told us:  that ever since the 
Horse Whispererbook and movie, the ETs have been blessing us by coming onto 
Earth as big eyed critterslikehorses.

Just to clarify, bj is someone who believes in and does the following:

"The readings or accomplished by bj communicating with her soul and her soul 
having a conference call with the soul of the client." (via cell phone if 
necessary).

"At the talk the group that attends will participate with the Hierarchy and 
Federation to anchor a City of Light over Iowa."

"In certain cases where the client is bringing spiritual secrets from other 
lifetimes it is important to activate the information stored in their knees."

Holy God in Heaven, need I say more?

Yep, there is such ignorance and squalor out there.  But, yay more meditation 
and better education.  I'm all for civil unions but marriage should be LICENSED 
and reserved for having children once applicant spouses have their education 
complete, have self-sustaining jobs, have learned meditation and have had their 
meditations checked.  30 percent of kids now are born in to poverty.  The 
poverty is inter-generational and so about poor modeling by the entitled 
boomer-generation.  At its core this is about ill-disciplined wanton sex; 
over-copulation.  This article is absolutely correct.  It is time to curb 
unbridled sex by less than adult married people and the conception of more 
children outside of marriage.

Dear Emptybill,

Dmitri is the first voice I will listen to in the morning. What he is making 
happen here (in this aria) is my aesthetic ideal. I want to be where he is to 
sing like this. 

Fabulous post, emptybill.

I am switching from first person ontology to opera.

I thought it was a great letter. It was a truthful portrayal of this man's 
disgust and frustration with his children. I can imagine the kinds of things he 
was referring to. More people should be so subjectively objective about their 
families; it would result in a lot less enabling and a lot more realness. 
Coming from a family where I had an alcoholic parent I can attest that 
brute/rigorous honesty about dysfunction is always preferable to the 
alternative. I applaud this man who wrote that letter, at least as much as I 
can understand where he is coming from. I would prefer to hear the other side 
of the story as well, his children's side.

Just to clarify, bj is someone who believes in and does the following:

"The readings or accomplished by bj communicating with her soul and her soul 
having a conference call with the soul of the client." (via cell phone if 
necessary).

"At the talk the group that attends will participate with the Hierarchy and 
Federation to anchor a City of Light over Iowa."

"In certain cases where the client is bringing spiritual secrets from other 
lifetimes it is important to activate the information stored in their knees."

Holy God in Heaven, need I say more?

I wouldn't necessarily say he's a shitty parent, his situation sounds almost 
exactly like my family's situation, only my grandfather would never tend to 
complain like this one.  I don't know what kind of family or neighborhood you 
grew up in, but in my family, and the family of many friends of mine there has 
been a strong tendency to make ridiculous decisions day in and day out, year 
after year and still expect to enjoy the same results in life that our parents 
and grandparents did.  I think that's the main complaint of this guy.  

I can say for my family itself, some are not doing too well these days.  And I 
know for a fact that the advice and wisdom of elders in our family was 
available, but the younger ones simply wouldn't listen.  

I remember one of George Carlin's final stand up specials where he claimed that 
if there was a motto that would fit the current generation it would be "Gimme, 
it's mine!".  And George was about as liberal as liberal can be.  I think 
that's what the man who wrote this article was trying to depict.

Whoa, you went to bj? I thought it was a joke when it was posted. Did you set

Like your assertion (never a promise, you don't make promises,) to never read 
certain people's posts. Like your disdain for the cliquey drama queeny antics 
which you, nevertheless ad infinitum, always put your one cent out there about. 
Like your criteria for ignoring the things you find boring and juvenile which 
you never abide by yourself. Kinda like that Barry?

Of course Barry, not being a regular member of the human race, doesn't need to 
follow any of the things he expects others to abide by. Or would that be called 
being a sociopath?

Who is carrying it on now, after Emily has said she was going to drop it after 
numerous apologies? Who is continuing to prod the dying horse? Why, I believe 
it is Wright. You are a cog in the same wheel, Mr, whether you realize it or 
not.

Just me, RD, butting in on a public forum using my own words to ask why Emily's 
sentence in quotes caused you to say you prefer she use her own words. It 
seemed important enough for you to say it, but I don't understand why that is. 
Can you elaborate? You're asking her to say what the same benefits are from 
reading post on FFL so, it stands to reason that you could say what it means 
for you to say you prefer her to use her own words. When she put a sentence in 
quotes "trigger" something in you? What was it? Did it piss you off? It's O.K. 
if you ignore me, and it's O.K. if it pissed you off. All I'm asking is if 
you're willing to drill down a little deeper into what caused you to ask this 
of her. If it pissed you off, it's O.K. but examining why it pissed you off 
could be a liberating experience. Ultimately all any of us do is project our 
own issues on others and that's O.K. What's at the heart of it for me is asking 
what is it within myself that causes me to to project on to others, not what 
they do to *make* me feel the way I feel. No one can *make* me feel 
anything...how I respond to others is entirely my responsibility.
