Meet the blue footed booby, found from the Gulf of California down along
the western coasts of Central and South America to Peru. Their bright
blue feet are a sexually selected trait. The brighter a  male's feet,
the more attractive he is to a female. To attract a female,  they have
an elaborate dancing ritual to display their feet, first  lifting one
foot and then the other.

"How about when Maharishi said that one day we'd only have to think the name of

I think that's already true, I certainly never got any results

Devinder!
 
Concept of Physical Life
 
Indefinite terms can never lead us to
definitive clues about creation and life. Think of the nuisance-value of these
indeterminate phrases viz. physical life, the vital, mental reality, the origin
and so forth.
 
However, these indeterminate terms can be
turned into determinate ones through appropriate interpretation based on 
discreet
and accurate fundamental definitions. 
 
Your narrations may at best be seen as
*literary*, not *philosophical* straight away. For, these are instances of
running non-philosophically amok, with few fundamental definitions in purview. 
 
Take the case of *physical life* as an
example. This notion would constitute of a number of pre-conceived inferences
which would collectively project life as an integral property of physicality.
The constituent inferences would incorporate these necessary premises. 
 
1)    1) Life
is inherent in physicality.
2)    2) Physicality
of existence is primarily the source of life.
3)    3) Life
may be experienced *subjectively* or noticed *objectively*.
4)    4) The
subjective experiencing of life and life*s objective indication are inherently
and completely commensurable (with point-to-point correspondence, as that
between an object and its mirror-image).
5)   
5) *Life*
is the integral property of the integrated physique and is composed of
constituent properties ascribable uniquely to entity*s respective physical
constituencies.
6)   
6) Constituents
of entity*s integral subjective experience are inherently consistent and this 
intra-subjectivity
consistency would connote and vindicate consistency among constituencies of
life*s objectivity.
7)    7) Similarly,
constituents of life*s integral objective portrayal are inherently consistent
and this intra-objectivity consistency connotes and vindicates consistency
among constituencies of entity*s subjectivity.
8)    8) Both
intra-subjectivity and intra-objectivity consistencies along with reciprocal
consistency between subjectivity and objectivity would connote and vindicate
inherent intra-physique (intra-body, intra-existence) consistency among entity*s
physical constituencies and physique-subjectivity, physique-objectivity
reciprocal consistencies. 
9)    9) Though
to the ordinary eye, these six fundamental consistencies - viz. intra-physique,
intra-subjectivity and intra-objectivity consistencies and
physique-subjectivity, physique-objectivity and subjectivity-objectivity
reciprocal consistencies - may seem equally inherent and mutually disparate,
there is a lineage of causality among them. This lineage emanates from 
*configured
existence*.
10  10) Thus *configuration*
is the most fundamental inherence and the most fundamental cause. And the most
fundamental cause is ever *existential* in nature. That is to say,
configuration is the maiden and eternal *mechanism of existence*. 
11)11) Body/ physique is to
be defined on the basis of its configuration.
12)12) Corporeity and
corporeality merge at *configuration*.
13)13) Configuration is
characterized with growing polarity in order to develop intra-body,
intra-physique, intra-existence organs and to cause positive differentiation
(evolution) of existence, subjectivity and objectivity. 
14)14) The maiden polarity
is that endows existence/ entity with the maiden organ - the epistemic organ -
that enables it to know itself (through internal subjectivity) and its
neighborhood (through external objectivity). This process conforms with the
obvious doctrine of *primordial right*. According to this doctrine, an
existence/ entity must know itself and its neighborhood to materialize the 
*objective
of existence*.
15)15) The epistemic organ
ought to emerge at the very (moment of) beginning of existence. That is to say,
the epistemic organ isn*t only the maiden organ, it is the very maiden
existence. 
16)16) The epistemic organ
has been latent for a long time by 

[FairfieldLife] Re: Uber-narcissists who would fit right in on FFL

[seventhray27]

I've got to add a funny little piece to the story, especially on this
Valentine's Day.  That is the power of the breast.  In those early days
and months as an infant, there was no trauma that could stand up to the
power of the breast.  I remember hearing from other friends about the
circumcision.  "Oh" they would say, "Our little guy was doing great
until the cirumcision, then he never slept well again"  I was expecting
the worst.  But as had happened many before that event, and hundreds of
time after, putting the baby up to the breast seemed to solve any
problem. He seemed to get over the "trauma" of the circumcism, in about
one minute.

And then once we realized that the baby could not tolerate (cow's milk)
dairy that he was getting via breast milk, then we were really home
free.

Soulmate Dropped For New, Better SoulmateBLOOMINGTON, IN — The deep and abiding 
love shared by soulmates Andrew Colton and Brenda Smolensk ended Monday, when 
Colton broke up with Smolensk to go out with new soulmate Mandy Damrush. 



"Mandy and I are so perfect together, I almost can't believe it," a beaming 
Colton said Monday. "It's like we're the same person. Even though we just met, 
I feel like we're soulmates, like I've known her my whole life."

>ever understanding and ever clear."

According to Colton, Smolensk was the love of his life at the time.

"Brenda and I were a perfect match," Colton said. "We would go on long walks 
and talk for hours about literally any subject. I would start a sentence, 
fumble for a word, and Brenda would finish for me. Or she could just look at me 
and say out loud what I was thinking."

Added Colton: "Fortunately, Mandy doesn't interrupt me or do any of that 
annoying stuff Brenda did."

Colton also fondly recalled his last Christmas with Smolensk. "One of my gifts 
to her was a Thighmaster, and she got all excited and asked, 'How did you know 
I wanted to work on my thighs?'" Colton said. "How did I know? Well, I would 
often see her standing in front of her full-length mirror and, just from the 
way she looked at herself, I could tell she was unhappy about all the dimples 
in her thighs. That's just the sort of deep understanding we had for each 
other."

Colton then slipped his arm around Damrush and said, "Mandy has got incredible 
thighs."

But despite the fact that the pair's relationship seemed made in heaven, Colton 
and Smolensk gradually grew apart.

"As great as Brenda was, we somehow fell into a rut. Toward the end, we didn't 
do anything together. We didn't even talk very much," said Colton, recalling 
his last days with Smolensk. "On the other hand, Mandy and I already get along 
so well, it's like we have a telepathic bond--neither of us even has to say a 
word. Mandy truly is the only person on the planet I can see myself with. What 
are the odds we would meet?"

Colton's friends have already accepted his newer, even more ideal companion 
into their circle.

"Mandy is so incredibly wonderful," said David Rudd, Colton's best friend and 
roommate. "I mean, I thought Brenda was the only woman in the world for Andrew, 
but now it's clear that it's Mandy."

"I know it sounds like a cliche, but Andrew and Brenda were so right for each 
other, it seemed like it was, like, cosmic or something," longtime friend Marc 
Elliot said. "Believe me, the last thing anyone expected was that Andrew would 
actually find a soulmate who was even better."

"Good for him," Elliot added.

Despite having moved on, Colton stressed the special place his ex-soulmate will 
always have in his heart: "I want to be clear that I'm not trying to bad-mouth 
Brenda at all. I have nothing but good things to say about her. What we had was 
truly once-in-a-lifetime. But what I have now is even more once-in-a-lifetime."

Colton said he will always be thankful for meeting Smolensk, as he learned much 
from her.

"When fate led me to Brenda, I was a wounded person, afraid I would never again 
be able to trust a woman. After all, my heart had been broken by three previous 
soulmates," Colton said. "But Brenda taught me that I could find true love 
again. And you know what? That's exactly what I've done."

Wow Share.  You know  just what questions to ask, to release a torrent
of info from me.

Fortunately it has been a very low key Valentine's day.  A friend is in
town, and it has caused me go to sleep late two nights in a row, and
arrive  home late from work.  I had intended to stop at Aldi's on my way
home tonight, and pick up some roses, but was not able to do so.  So
Valentine's day has been mostly my daughter giving a present to my wife.

I have mentioned here before that I was 35 when I got married, and my
wife was 38.  First time for both of us.  We had our first child, a boy
when she was forty, and the third child, a girl when she was 44. 
Inbetween was a boy.

I hope I am not boring anyone yet.  When she was pregnant with the first
child, we attended all the Lamaze (sp?) classes, and so in the delivery
room I was there as her  "coach" to help with the breathing etc.  To
back up a bit, the due date came and went, and after one week, we
learned of an acupunture pressure point, between the big toe and the
next toe (I believe).  That worked after a couple hours, and she went
into labor.

At any rate, I performed my role as coach, and soon a little boy popped
out, and he scored an 8 out of 8 (think I  have that right) on the
Apscar test.  And he performed well on most every test he's taken after
that, at least until high school when he started to take his studying
for granted.  But I digress yet again.

Anyway, by the time the second child was born, I was happy that I was
allowed to be not quite as involved in the actual birth.  That little
guy popped out and was all red.  Literally his body was very red.  I was
told that there was a strong Mars influence at the time of his birth.
That was January 24 th, 1996.  I don't remember what time.

By the time the girl was born, I would not have minded being several
hundred miles away, and to learn of her birth by a postcard.  I had sort
of had enough of the birthing room.  Especially since there were some
complications.  Luckily, it all worked out.  But it was a rather a
wrenching experience.  Thank God we were in the hospital and not at
home, or giving birth in the bathtub under water, or some place with
dolphins nearby.  Really, I don't mean to demean those methods, but they
wouldn't have worked for us.

By the time of the third one, there was not time for even an epideral.
She had that for the first two I believe.

Then came the breast feeding, and they all got that, for I think, 18
months.  I could go on and on with this story.  Like the estrangement
that took place between my mom and me and my mom and my wife nearly as
soon as the first child was born.

My mom had the expectation that we would want to offload the child to
her, just as she had offloaded my older sister to her mom, so she could
resume her active social life.  Problem was, my wife was 40 years old,
had travelled around the world, had had a successful business career,
and all that she, (and we) wanted was for her to be a full time mom.  It
meant a significant loss of income, but we just modified our life style.
The rend with my mom never really healed.  Not even on my mom's death
bed when she tried to make amends.

And yes, my wife would not have minded having another child, but I felt
three was really enough.

And I think I have mentioned before that my wife is strong Catholic, and
I feel fortunate that she has undertaken the religious and spiritual
upbringing of the children.  I should qualify that by saying, the
"formal" upbringing.  They get a whole different perspective from me. 
Not by words, but by actions.  I sort of think it is a perfect
arrangment.

Plus, they do get to partake of the major Jewish holidays, and that
seems to give them street cred at the Catholic schools, they have
attended all their lives.

So, that's my Valentine's day story.  Thank you for asking.  I hope the
day has been good for you as well.

You might be interested in my friend who is visiting.  Perhaps we can
converse offline about that.

Krishna has no words for your love and longing dear Gopi. Rumi was just a
drunk - you can kick Rumi's ass any day, any time :-).

This was just for my edification, my hopes and desires.

Never lose hope when the Beloved sends you away.
If you're abandoned
if you're left hopeless
tomorrow for sure
you'll be called again.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Greetings again from the New York Center for Nonviolent Communication

[obbajeeba]

What does Rumi know? 
Wait makes an eternalness?
How bitter could one be in agony?
Addressing a present mistake, could the lasting hindrance make
the comfort of love?
So what a Valentine's hate? 
Does the 20 plus years make a good mate? 
How about 1 year?
When does time let the heart become content, O' Krishna?
When does Chandra exalt her wishes of love?
Shukra makes it hard to ignore, the desire.
How red in the face must one be, before the red in the heart glows endlessly? 
Love grand. Love embrace. Moments in time we all chase.
What petal does pick its way,
She loves me, she loves me not?
Where does that nectar seat? The bumble moves about, adheres to the rear the 
pollen to be shared to the next flower, but the fruit does not bear sweet until 
the larva are set with honey?
The new growth are the sacrifice to this one we call, love.
The chance of multiply makes no dismissal to the hard work for the heart to 
find a place to call home to call mine?
The calm waiting makes better pleasure, then a hasty mistake?

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Backpacking --- Emily

[Emily Reyn]

Hi Carol:  

I grew up in the Northwest and backpacked most of my childhood - 15 years old.  
These were family trips with cousins ranging from mostly "long weekend" jaunts 
to a 2-week long trip in the high sierras at about 15.  Then I took a long 
hiatus and left home for college and a wild ride through my 20's.  Picked it up 
again with my kids and friends and did 3-5 day trips in the Cascade mountains.  
Have been on many of the hikes in the "100 hikes" book.  I upgraded finally and 
bought all new lighter-weight gear, as "toughing it out" old-school became too 
much for me in my mid-40's.  I don't like to feel like a mule any longer. 
Smile. 

Last summer I did 2 long camping trips (14 days and 10 days) on the WA coast 
and Utah, respectively, with long day hikes, but no backpacking.  I love being 
out there though - I had to step back a few years ago as I had back and knee 
injuries from skiing to recover from.  I hope to go again this summer.

I've never hiked on the AT, but read the book "A Walk in the Woods" by Bill 
Bryson, which was humorous.  

Seventy-one miles is a great accomplishment; must have been a fabulous trip.  
Emily.

It is very possible to get the effects of an herb, vitamin or mineral by 
thinking about it.  Also cooling down or warming up too.

Oh, thanks ! BTW, I deleted that post realizing it was posted from navashok,

Whoa, that's interesting about the importance of not taking a remedy too long.  
How about when Maharishi said that one day we'd only have to think the name of 
an herb to get the result?  My neighbors gave me some cuttings from a bacopa 
plant.  Evidently it's making the rounds in FF.  I made sure I got the name as 
well (-:

I'm amazed at that.  Not only does MMY mentioned it in the Gita but the 
SCI tapes too (if my memory serves me well).  He didn't invent that 
either because it is well known in Indian philosophy.  To be fair MMY 
just passes on a lot of stuff that is just standard Indian philosophy. 
I think some TM people think he discovered it.  I'm not even surprised 
that he observed that capitalism was on it's way to a fall.  You don't 
have to be enlightened to see that.  Just follow the logical order of 
things, keep the blinders off and look at the world from a global not 
compartmentalized view.

Maybe we need a "lemon law" for bodies. :-D

My mother carried me when she had hypoglycemia so I figure my weak 
adrenals are from that.   Our bodies change all the time so I've never 
figured that unless your doshas are very polarized that one meeting then 
another a month away would be very helpful.  Dr. Lad points out that you 
might only even need to use some ayurvedic cure for as little as a day 
to get results (sorta like taking an aspirin) and even a week later you 
could have flipped to the opposite dosha if you stay on it longer than 
needed.

Not his idea either. Just standard Indian philosophy.  All he was doing 
was packaging it for western minds. As for movers and shakers, the 
original idea of professionals in some field teaching TM on the side was 
a great idea.  About a year after I returned from TTC he declared that 
the centers should be given over to the new MIU graduates.  Well this 
was about as smart as paying kids who just graduated from college with a 
BS in computer science a $120K a year job.  They didn't have enough 
"experience in life" and turned off a lot of the meditating community. 
Most should have had a year or two of apprenticeship in the field rather 
than "taking over".  That was when a lot of teachers began questioning 
their involvement in TM. Of course having a few zealots appoint 
themselves as "TM Gestapo" didn't help either.

Hey Emily...

Emily, you mentioned in another post that you backpack.

Have you done much backpacking and where are some of the places you have

Sometimes it's refreshing to do something totally different. 
Like for example agreeing with someone I usually consider a useless nitwit, an 
arrogant Scorpion and an amateur. 
In his above points this navashok-character brings forward valuable points for

let my inner child Share with you
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iq1K88EWqdw


Oh, my pa-pa, to me he was so wonderful
Oh, my pa-pa, to me he was so good
No one could be, so gentle and so lovable
Oh, my pa-pa, he always understood.

Gone are the days when he could take me on his knee
And with a smile he'd change my tears to laughter

Oh, my pa-pa, so funny, so adorable
Always the clown so funny in his way
Oh, my pa-pa, to me he was so wonderful
Deep in my heart I miss him so today

Hi Steve, hope you and your wife are having a sweet Valentine's Day.  
Sorry to be nosy but did you all know from the start how many children you 
wanted?
Are they choosing for themselves which religion to follow?

Can you say more about how marriage has to do with simply taking a vow?
I am just saying, that that is where it starts.  And hopefully you have done 
enough due diligence to know that you are committed to make it through the 
rocky times, which are bound to come.
, and   Many simply take a vow and yet at least 50% of marriages end in 
divorce.  Lots of experts have weighed in on the whole thing.  One of my 
favorites is Dr. John Gottman of the Love Lab at Univ of Wash.  They have an 
accuracy rate in the 90 percentile range in predicting which marriages will 
last, based on observation.  
One key aspect involves a 5 to 1 ratio, 5 positive interactions for every 
negative one.  
 
Well, that makes sense.  In my case, even though we knew each other, and dated 
for two years, there was still quite a period of adjustment as we came from two 
different backgrounds, and had different religious and political beliefs.  And 
over time that ratio changed, and has become more in line with what is a 
predictor of a successful marriage.

Well, you work at it every day.  And some days are easier than others.  But it 
helps to know that you are committed to each other.  Without that, you don't 
have much.

Has Bob Dylan's Renaldo and Clara  been finally released in the USA as
this  headline suggest?


Dylanologists rejoice! I've heard from a semi-reliable source that
Renaldo and Clara, a much-discussed and little-seen 1978 epic film by
Bob Dylan, will soon be finally released on DVD.

Yep - you got it - sharing the love, celebrating Valentine's Kali Pimp
style !!! But seriously if I had someone to send yellow roses to I wouldn't
be wasting my time with these idiots and would have been celebrating
traditionally. May be I'm lashing out because I am missing a woman..hmm?
This is bad - let me postpone this Kali Pimp style love for tomorrow and on.

at it - A Class I retard you are - you dumb MF'er.

Despite the very tempting real estate prices Ann posted, anyone thinking of
moving to FF would be hard pressed to if watching FF stalwarts like you,
Buck and Share here on FFL..LOL.

I'm amazed at that.  Not only does MMY mentioned it in the Gita but the 
SCI tapes too (if my memory serves me well).  He didn't invent that 
either because it is well known in Indian philosophy.  To be fair MMY 
just passes on a lot of stuff that is just standard Indian philosophy.  
I think some TM people think he discovered it.  I'm not even surprised 
that he observed that capitalism was on it's way to a fall.  You don't 
have to be enlightened to see that.  Just follow the logical order of 
things, keep the blinders off and look at the world from a global not 
compartmentalized view.

Maybe we need a "lemon law" for bodies. :-D

My mother carried me when she had hypoglycemia so I figure my weak 
adrenals are from that.   Our bodies change all the time so I've never 
figured that unless your doshas are very polarized that one meeting then 
another a month away would be very helpful.  Dr. Lad points out that you 
might only even need to use some ayurvedic cure for as little as a day 
to get results (sorta like taking an aspirin) and even a week later you 
could have flipped to the opposite dosha if you stay on it longer than 
needed.

Not his idea either. Just standard Indian philosophy.  All he was doing 
was packaging it for western minds. As for movers and shakers, the 
original idea of professionals in some field teaching TM on the side was 
a great idea.  About a year after I returned from TTC he declared that 
the centers should be given over to the new MIU graduates.  Well this 
was about as smart as paying kids who just graduated from college with a 
BS in computer science a $120K a year job.  They didn't have enough 
"experience in life" and turned off a lot of the meditating community.  
Most should have had a year or two of apprenticeship in the field rather 
than "taking over".  That was when a lot of teachers began questioning 
their involvement in TM. Of course having a few zealots appoint 
themselves as "TM Gestapo" didn't help either.

[FairfieldLife] The most philosophically interesting computer nerd article ever?

[turquoiseb]

The computer that never crashes  New Scientist, 14 February 2013, by
Paul Marks 

A revolutionary new computer based on the apparent chaos of nature can
reprogram itself if it finds a fault

OUT of chaos, comes order. A computer  that mimics the apparent
randomness found in nature can instantly  recover from crashes by
repairing corrupted data.

Dubbed a "systemic" computer, the  self-repairing machine now operating
at University College London (UCL)  could keep mission-critical systems
working. For instance, it could  allow drones
  to reprogram themselves to cope with
combat damage, or help create more realistic models of the human brain.

Everyday computers are ill suited to  modelling natural processes such
as how neurons work or how bees swarm.  This is because they plod along
sequentially, executing one instruction  at a time. "Nature isn't like
that," says UCL computer scientist Peter  Bentley. "Its processes are
distributed, decentralised and  probabilistic. And they are fault
tolerant, able to heal themselves. A  computer should be able to do
that."

Today's computers work steadily  through a list of instructions: one is
fetched from the memory and  executed, then the result of the
computation is stashed in memory. That  is then repeated – all under
the control of a sequential timer called a  program counter. While the
method is great for number-crunching, it  doesn't lend itself to
simultaneous operations. "Even when it feels like  your computer is
running all your software at the same time, it is just  pretending to do
that, flicking its attention very quickly between each  program,"
Bentley says.

He and UCL's Christos Sakellariou have  created a computer in which data
is married up with instructions on  what to do with it. For example, it
links the temperature outside with  what to do if it's too hot. It then
divides the results up into pools of  digital entities called "systems".

Each system has a memory containing  context-sensitive data that means
it can only interact with other,  similar systems. Rather than using a
program counter, the systems are  executed at times chosen by a
pseudorandom number generator, designed to  mimic nature's randomness.
The systems carry out their instructions  simultaneously, with no one
system taking precedence over the others,  says Bentley. "The pool of
systems interact in parallel, and randomly,  and the result of a
computation simply emerges from those interactions,"  he says.

It doesn't sound like it should work, but it does. Bentley will tell a
conference on evolvable systems
  in Singapore in April that it works much faster than
expected.

Crucially, the systemic computer  contains multiple copies of its
instructions distributed across its many  systems, so if one system
becomes corrupted the computer can access  another clean copy to repair
its own code. And unlike conventional  operating systems that crash when
they can't access a bit of memory, the  systemic computer carries on
regardless because each individual system  carries its own memory.

The pair are now working on teaching  the computer to rewrite its own
code in response to changes in its  environment, through machine
learning.

"It's interesting work," says Steve  Furber at the University of
Manchester, UK, who is developing a  billion-neuron, brain-like computer
called Spinnaker (see "Build yourself a brain
 ").  Indeed, he could even help
out the UCL team. "Spinnaker would be a good  programmable platform for
modelling much larger-scale systemic  computing systems," he says.

Episode 5 was quite something and I'm looking forward to the season or 
series finale.  Given what's behind the conspiracy it would be hard to 
dig up "usual suspect" sponsors in the US for the show. Perhaps it is 
best like a number of other Channel 4 shows for it to be available 
streaming (no commercials).

The show definitely has its commercial breaks built in but one of the 
funny things about Syfy's playing of the Canadian series "Continuum" is 
they often go right over those then break at what I would call a bad 
place.  Thing is that in the US all the channels even the cable ones 
want their breaks at the same time so that no matter where you tune you 
get a commercial.  This started years ago according to a friend who 
worked for a TV station.  Apparently Canada has commercial different 
time slots than US TV.

Anyhoo, "Utopia" is scheduled to release on DVD and BD so we'll see if 
they release discs for the US too.  But they're probably looking for a 
hot deal with Syfy or some network to create a very dumbed down 
version.  Gotta say though that the Syfy version of "Being Human" is 
very good and Showtime's version of "Shameless" is also very good.  Both 
of those have the original showrunners and probably writers involved 
which makes a difference.  There is some incredible writing with both 
versions of "Being Human."

Tonight "Zero Hour" debuts at a bad time slot on ABC.  Bad because at 8 
PM it will already have to be watered down.  And two, it is at the time 
slot which failed for the ill-fated series "Last Resort" which was a bit 
bold for US TV.  It deals with a conspiracy and stars Anthony Edwards 
from "ER".

Conspiracies seem to be a hot seller in the US but apparently make TV 
execs and lawyers nervous.  We still haven't seen all of Jesse Ventura's 
"Conspiracy Theories" season 3 episodes and TruTV decided they wouldn't 
show the episode on the TSA.   I would think Alex Jone's crowd would 
love "Utopia" but then claim it is "total NWO" because they are showing 
you want they are going to do.  That's why his show is so crazy and fun 
to listen to ('cept for the Jayzuss stuff).

We should rename it "future diabetics day." :-D

Like Halloween it's been turned into a big commercial holiday. All to 
make money for the candy companies and florists. Only in capitalistic 
America. I've told the story here before but back in the 1990s at the 
company where I worked I knew there were a number of single people and 
particularly ones who had just broken up with someone so I proclaimed an 
evening at the company favored dive bar across the street as a gathering 
for a "Valentines Bah Humbug!" party. It was very popular except that 
the bar owner didn't like the idea so next year he made sure he had a 
Valentines event going on.

So happy Valentines to those who feel it and Valentines Bah Humbug to 
those who don't. :-D

No worries Alex, I was only pretending to complain, we had good fun at the 
poster's expense - there will always be idiots who will get attracted by this, 
we are powerless over people's overwhelming need to numb their fears,  
insecurities and anxieties.

[FairfieldLife] New Sexual Revolution: Polyamory May Be Good for You

[Alex Stanley]

http://news.yahoo.com/sexual-revolution-polyamory-may-good-154751829.html

On Valentine's Day, images of couples are everywhere. They're buying each other 
diamond rings, making eyes over expensive restaurant meals and canoodling over 
chocolate-covered strawberries and champagne. But two-by-two isn't the only way 
to go through life. In fact, an estimated 4 to 5 percent of Americans are 
looking outside their relationship for love and sex — with their partner's full 
permission.

These consensually nonmonogamous relationships, as they're called, don't 
conform to the cultural norm of a handholding couple in love for life. They 
come in a dizzying array of forms, from occasional "swinging" and open 
relationships to long-term commitments among multiple people. Now, social 
scientists embarking on brand-new research into these types of relationships 
are finding that they may challenge the ways we think of jealousy, commitment 
and love. They may even change monogamy for the better.

"People in these relationships really communicate. They communicate to death," 
said Bjarne Holmes, a psychologist at Champlain College in Vermont. All of that 
negotiation may hold a lesson for the monogamously inclined, Holmes told 
LiveScience.

[FairfieldLife] Valentine's Day thoughts on soulmates from The Onion

[turquoiseb]

Soulmate Dropped For New, Better SoulmateBLOOMINGTON, IN — The deep
and abiding love shared by soulmates Andrew Colton and Brenda Smolensk
ended Monday, when Colton broke up with Smolensk to go out with new
soulmate Mandy Damrush.



"Mandy and I are so perfect together, I almost can't believe it," a
beaming Colton said Monday. "It's like we're the same person. Even
though we just met, I feel like we're soulmates, like I've known her my
whole life."

>From June 17, 1996 until 2:15 p.m. Monday, Colton and former soulmate
Smolensk were inseparable, describing themselves as "unwhole without
each other." In a poem he gave to Smolensk in June to commemorate the
third anniversary of their meeting, Colton described their relationship
as "like one mind in two bodies, ever understanding and ever clear."

According to Colton, Smolensk was the love of his life at the time.

"Brenda and I were a perfect match," Colton said. "We would go on long
walks and talk for hours about literally any subject. I would start a
sentence, fumble for a word, and Brenda would finish for me. Or she
could just look at me and say out loud what I was thinking."

Added Colton: "Fortunately, Mandy doesn't interrupt me or do any of that
annoying stuff Brenda did."

Colton also fondly recalled his last Christmas with Smolensk. "One of my
gifts to her was a Thighmaster, and she got all excited and asked, 'How
did you know I wanted to work on my thighs?'" Colton said. "How did I
know? Well, I would often see her standing in front of her full-length
mirror and, just from the way she looked at herself, I could tell she
was unhappy about all the dimples in her thighs. That's just the sort of
deep understanding we had for each other."

Colton then slipped his arm around Damrush and said, "Mandy has got
incredible thighs."

But despite the fact that the pair's relationship seemed made in heaven,
Colton and Smolensk gradually grew apart.

"As great as Brenda was, we somehow fell into a rut. Toward the end, we
didn't do anything together. We didn't even talk very much," said
Colton, recalling his last days with Smolensk. "On the other hand, Mandy
and I already get along so well, it's like we have a telepathic
bond--neither of us even has to say a word. Mandy truly is the only
person on the planet I can see myself with. What are the odds we would
meet?"

Colton's friends have already accepted his newer, even more ideal
companion into their circle.

"Mandy is so incredibly wonderful," said David Rudd, Colton's best
friend and roommate. "I mean, I thought Brenda was the only woman in the
world for Andrew, but now it's clear that it's Mandy."

"I know it sounds like a cliche, but Andrew and Brenda were so right for
each other, it seemed like it was, like, cosmic or something," longtime
friend Marc Elliot said. "Believe me, the last thing anyone expected was
that Andrew would actually find a soulmate who was even better."

"Good for him," Elliot added.

Despite having moved on, Colton stressed the special place his
ex-soulmate will always have in his heart: "I want to be clear that I'm
not trying to bad-mouth Brenda at all. I have nothing but good things to
say about her. What we had was truly once-in-a-lifetime. But what I have
now is even more once-in-a-lifetime."

Colton said he will always be thankful for meeting Smolensk, as he
learned much from her.

"When fate led me to Brenda, I was a wounded person, afraid I would
never again be able to trust a woman. After all, my heart had been
broken by three previous soulmates," Colton said. "But Brenda taught me
that I could find true love again. And you know what? That's exactly
what I've done."

Marco Rubio is a liar and you're an idiot. In case you missed the slurp heard 
'round the world. Rubio wedded himself to the undying GOP lie that Fannie and 
Freddie...not lack of regulation, not Wall Street greed...caused the the great 
recession and 2008 banking meltdown.

Maharaj Adiraj Rajaram, the first ruler of the Global Country of World
Peace, flew into India yesterday, and his first act was to visit Purusha
in Uttar Kashi. His helicopter flew in to both ashrams and was warmly
greeted by Purusha.

Purusha around the world are profoundly appreciative if Maharaj's
leadership and his ability to understand the unique significance of
Purusha's role for the world. In a world so focused on outward
activity, it is rare, even in our wonderful movement, to find someone so
completely understanding and supportive of a group of men who have
dedicated their lives to silent inward focus with the dual goal of
realising supreme wisdom in Brahman Consciousness and simultaneously
bringing lasting world peace and heaven on earth.

We are grateful for this symbolic visit and convey our total respect and
admiration for his enlightened leadership.

More TMer thoughts on Kali Tantra:

It would seem that the Marshy got confused - instead of 
extolling the Vedas, he should have been promoting the 
Tantras. 

Apparently there are no 'bija' mantras memtioned in the 
Rig Veda. In order to establish the TM practice, the 
Marshy should have been explaining how TM came to use the 
bija mantras.

>From what I've read, TM practice and the use of bijas 
comes from the Sri Vidya, and not from the Rig Veda. Sri 
Vidya is a tantric sect, purportedly founded by the Adi
Shankaracharya. 

Swami Brahmanand Saraswati was a member of the Sri Vidya 
- all the Saraswati dasnamis are headquarted at Sringeri. 

SBS's guru, Swami Krishanand Saraswati, was from Sringeri. 

The primary symbol of the Sri Vidya is the Shri Yantra 
with the TM bijas inscribed thereon.

So, it's obvious that TM adherents should be looking to 
the tantras, such as the 'Saundaryalahari' for the 
origins of TM, not the to the Vedas. 

The Rig Veda has little to say about yoga practices such 
as 'TM'. The Rig Veda is based on sacrificial rituals, 
dedicated to appeasing the celestial beings that control 
the forces of nature, such as earth, wind and fire, etc. 

The Demi-gods, such as Krishna, Balarama, and Ramchandra 
are deified heros of Indian mythology. There are no 
'istadevatas' and their 'bija mantras' mentioned in the 
Rig Veda.

The use of bijas came a long time after the composition 
of the Rig Veda, during the Gupta Age in India. Bija 
mantras are products of the Indian alchemists, not the 
Vedic rishis. The Rig Veda was probably compiled before 
the Aryan speakers even arrived in present Pakistan. 

'TM' practice is almost pure tantric practice, with a 
little fertilizer thrown in for good measure. LoL!

Yeah, that Rubio is an idiot too, for thinking that any 
large group of Latino voters can affect the next U.S.
presidential election, but I predict that a Hispanic will 
be the next president of the U.S.A and not Hillary!

Obama says the US almost half-way out of debt now, thanks 
to his policies, and free pre-school too, just like his 
pal, Julian Castro. How much will that add to the national
debt? Go figure.

Well, I guess that pretty much covers the political 
discussion on FFL - a kind of low-information dialog. 

Which is wierd since according to what I've heard, over 
half of FF voters are conservatives. Probably 95% of TM 
meditators that use the MUM dome are conservatives. 

So, how did the liberals take over the discussion on 
FFL? And, what happened to that 'conservative meditator', 
Buck? Go figure. 

Talk about a mendacious group of informants! LoL!

i have a lot of respect for Marshall Rosenberg. Many people do not have a clue 
about how to communicate in a nonviolent way. I learned a lot from watching his 
tapes. It takes practice, but it can make one's personal interactions a lot 
smoother.

Yea, just wondering if her official nanosecond of birth is when the crown of 
her head appears or when her entire body has emerged from her mother's 
vagina/birth canal. These things could make all the difference.

Really? I would have thought this was obvious, New Age patter 101. But then 
since I don't go to see New Age speakers my assumption is obviously wrong. I 
could have told you this little "deep" fact, for free.

Dunno, you'd have to ask them, I don't get it myself but people 
do get a lot of pleasure out of having a royal family. I think 
they provide some sort of feelgood factor for the downtrodden 
masses, judging by the amount of people who line the streets every time they 
venture out of the castles their ancestors stole. It's
still a popular concept to be ruled it seems. 

I used to think they embodied the values we aspire to but can't
quite manage ourselves. Or maybe it's that the old class system 
is still going and they, as the top end, get the most respect. Or
maybe it's the amount of money they bring in with tourists coming
to London to see Bucks palace. Or maybe we just don't want to be
like the French

"Grandmothers"? and "wizened" at that? Hmmph. On earth it is not about sitting

Seize the day is right, but not in the way you think, old Buckeroo. Why would

[FairfieldLife] !Spiritual Meditating Fairfield, Iowa scores again in Smithsonian Magazine !

[Buck]

so proud of our 'little city'.

April Smithsonian Magazine to Name Fairfield as Top City

The April issue of Smithsonian magazine will include Fairfield in an article on 
the Top 20 Small Towns in the Midwest with populations under 15,000.

Fairfield was selected based on criteria such as quality of life, cultural 
diversity, and other intangibles.

The author of the article, Susan Spano, visited Fairfield for two days in late 
January and included MUM's Sustainable Living Center on her itinerary.

The top 20 cities will be featured on the Smithsonian website, and the top 10 
will be highlighted in the magazine.

Ms. Spano was impressed with Fairfield's diversity, culture, and other 
intangibles.

How come most Brits are willing to still see the country pump untold amounts of

She will undoubtably marry her prince and have many offspring
paid for by the tax payer who, in return, get to stand outside
the gates of her many palatial residences and wave small
flags at the happy couple as they are driven past in any one 
of a number of highly expensive automobiles.

She will never know what housework is as the staff quarters of
her many houses will be full of low paid, grovelling servants
all sworn to secrecy about what it's like to earn minimum wage
while working for the richest family in the land and having to 
hide in cupboards when the mother-in-law comes round - lest the 
poor woman sees an underling of less than blue blood.

All the country asks in return for this life of unparalleled 
sloth and endless foreign holidays is that she opens a supermarket every now 
and again and smiles sweetly when meeting the Saudi dictatorship at Buckingham 
palace - lest we lose our lucrative 
weapons contracts.

That's my reading of the stars, anyone else care to have a go?


 

[FairfieldLife] Non habemus papam

[merudanda]

Soon the world will not have a Pope as if the scene wasn't already
dramatic enough.

  Pope Benedict XVI Resignation Speech
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3HJ5xNo144

Is the key question for the future papacy  whether it will be more Roman
or more Catholic (in the original Greek sense of universal) ?Or  can  it
be in the roots of Benedict's vision  perhaps discerned in his many
publication and books  as well as in his last Christmas Eve midnight
mass sermon —in which he said that  a religion with only one God can
ultimately believe in only one truth,  thus implying an innate
discomfort in today's pluralistic society?

Plus there are quite a few NVC fans here in FF.  They used to meet every week 
but I'm not sure if they still do.  I love Marshall Rosenberg's deep 
discernment that we do not CAUSE each other to feel certain emotions.  But we 
do CONTRIBUTE to each other's emotional states.  I know of no other New Age 
teacher who makes this crucial distinction.

Dear Kumari and Antonio,  I do hope you will stay around FFL longer and don't 
pay no attention to these bruts and nay-sayers hounding your effort here.  One 
of them's not even a meditator.  Yes we are mostly all old revolutionary 
millenarian meditators here on FFL and as you suspect could also be sympathetic 
to your own mission of peace on earth.  Have you heard of the David Lynch 
Foundation and its work with meditation?  You should team up with them except 
that you work with Deepak Chopra.

Iran declares that it is a nuclear state; 50+ Islamic country leaders meeting 
in Egypt to talk peace plans for Syria, Israel; and EU apparently brokering a 
new state proposal.  Iranian leader visits Egypt for the first time in 30 
years.  
 
Clearly, something is up.  This could be the biggest development in global 
restructuring since the Berlin Wall came down.

Yep, but that's exactly what we did when we joined the movement. According to 
you, there couldn't have been a Buddha or Jesus Christ. Why did the Buddha 
leave his fathers kingdom to become a monk and meditate? He could have just 
stayed at home and become something reasonable. Or Jesus, why did he have to go 
to the desert for 40 days to have visitations of gods and the devil? He could 
have just stayed home and become an honorable carpenter. He could have built 
nice homes and furniture for the community he lived in and probably also lived 
a bit longer.

And feste, since you seem so genuinely concerned about the societal wellbeing, 
you should also give note to this guy here, he could become a software 
engineer, go to silicon valley and get some taint.

Neither am I, nor am I judgmental about him. I think he's the guy my friend is 
organizing for, they have a center in North Carolina, IIRC his original name is 
Singh and he was Agra based.

In general my opinion about approaching any saint / guru etc is, that one has 
to see the guy before judging. I like the story you posted. I think that it is 
much more advantageous to meditate with a person who has this kind of Shakti or 
Samadhi experiences. Like Barry I think that this is more conducive to attain a 
deep meditative state than learning a technique. Learning a technique is good 
though for people who are starting. Some things have to be transmitted. 
Personally, I would be more interested in him than in Adyashanti or Tolle. 
(Again I can't judge them as I have never seen any of them). But what I collect 
from here and the report of friends, the later would be more something like 
spiritual teachers, I think it's probably enough to read their books, one 
doesn't have to meet them.
