[FairfieldLife] To Xeno - are you a self-aware sociopath?
Dear Xeno, I was triggered in the last couple of emails and I made insensitive remarks on sociopaths, so I would like to apologize first. I think society should treat sociopaths like you with respect and I failed that, failed to live up to my liberal values. Of course, it's not everyday I get into a conversation with a sociopath like you, and I know you can't feel this but the sense of being bullied and manipulated by you was very real and I ended up being very rude and also referred to you as a skillful sorcerer. I also realized it was very insensitive to talk about matters of heart with sociopaths, like I said I was very triggered. I should have known that discussing matters of heart is considered insensitive, politically incorrect by suave, sophisticated sociopaths. I know you took offense to being referred to as enlightened. Could it be that this term is used by straight people - I mean non-sociopathic in this context? Would you rather be referred to as a self-aware sociopath? Do you feel an intuitive resonance to it? I noticed a fierce pride in your sociopathic traits and lot of self acceptance, surely self-aware sociopath would be a correct label. If I may ask - when did you come out of the closet? Do you have sociopathic pride events among your social circle? Anyway - very fascinating and please feel free to share anything you would like to. Ravi.

[FairfieldLife] Re: What's the worst lie Maharishi told?
Actually, Psychologist Richard Castillo published a report about 6 of his patients who were reporting what sounds just like CC, but were feeling confused about their status. They were all TMers. The average time they'd been meditating was about 11 years. One of the patients had only been doing TM for about 18 months when he started to have permanent depersonalization without any negative complaints other than confusion about why he was different than everyone else. So, 1.5-20 years, isn't that different from 5-8 years. If you took a rough estimate as a hard figure, well, that's your problem.

[FairfieldLife] Announcing the Robin Carlsen Memorial Narcissism Award
For those who pride themselves either on their corpulent egos or their misguided belief in their own writing abilities (or both), we are pleased to announce a mini-contest on Fairfield Life. The duration of this contest extends through the rest of 2013, and will be repeated annually. The recipient will receive the coveted Robin Carlsen Narcissism Trophy, a large statuette of the word ME carved by a known artist from a solid block of bullshit, and then gold-plated. The rules of this contest are simple: * You must write a number of serial posts, each with the same Subject line, each lambasting some personal enemy who has affronted you, and whom you must officially Take To Task, For The Greater Benefit Of Humanity. * Each of these serial posts must be (in honor of the poster whose name adorns the trophy) a minimum of 3,000 words in length. You may pad your entries somewhat by including long quotes from the person you are ragging on, but if the word count of these quotes exceeds your own verbiage, you risk disqualification. * Each of the serial posts in a series must have a singular focus, in that most of the rants have to be trying to get one specific enemy. Of course you can throw in the occasional tirade against *other* people on this forum you hate, but again if you include too many, you risk disqualification. * The number of posts to be included in this series is up to you, but be warned that the standard in this contest was set by its namesake, so any number less than five in a row, separated by any more than a day between posts, will be perceived (and rightly) as the slacking it is. * At the end of your post series, to qualify for the award you must present an impassioned, whiny plea/demand to the hate-object you are ragging on (and to anyone else reading your post series) to RESPOND, and in fact respond by arguing with you about *every* point you made. You are free to impugn their character in any way you want if they do NOT respond, and you are free to make multiple whine-posts demanding a RESPONSE, even after the series is over. Points will be awarded for the total number of posts per series, total word count, and amount of sheer invective hurled, as well as lack of creativity and bad writing (which we assume is a given for anyone entering the contest). Extra points will be awarded for achieving near-Robin-like levels of manic narcissism and obsession, as demonstrated by the posts being made late at night, well after midnight posters' time, staring glassy-eyed at the screen and spewing venom non-stop in a veritable shitstorm of invective. (This should not be a problem for anyone choosing to enter such a contest, judging from past history.) *Serious* extra points will be awarded to posters taking their *own* faults and weaknesses and projecting them onto their enemy. Good luck, and may the Best Narcissist win...

Judy, you missed the point. You need to think about that. Of course I know Dr D did not think Barry was the only person on FFL to shit all over someone. That was my point and I knew DR had that awareness. I was merely pointing it out to him. You missed the main oint, the gist, and focused on a detail with no relevance to what we were talking about. Several other people here seem to feel quite free and expert in putting down other people and calling them names (I would say Judy and Ravi are probably most skilled at name calling and putdowns, and they do so frequently) Bit of a difference, Susan. I never do so *gratuitously*, and I never do it *dishonestly*. Plus which, I'll respond if someone wants to engage with what I say. I don't do hit- and-runs. Nor do I diagnose mental disorders in people I'm not on good terms with. However you want to characterize, or rather talk about the bad things you don't do, you ourself Judy manage to put down others frequently here. It may be a bit of a difference in how you go about doing so, but you do, as you know. Barry certainly seems to think Robin was and probably is a strange guy. No argument there. Nor is that the problem, as you know--or should. Of course, I did not say it was the problem and of course I know it is not. I was summarizing the past relationship. You should know that. Now, Barry posted something written by other people. My take was that it was not focusing on Robin and his personality and his diagnoses or problems; it was about the events of that time as seen thru the theme of spiritual movements and how they grow or split in factions or dissolve. You apparently didn't bother to read Barry's post with any attention. The big deal for Barry was that the book excerpt appeared to contradict what Robin has said about his devotion to Maharishi. (There are problems with that conclusion, but I've addressed them briefly in another post.) Robin, Shri Shri and Deepak were the players, along with MMY and the TMO. Personally I thought it was interesting to get an objective view of those years in the TMO. There were some details about Robin's activities that I did not know about, and it presented his concerns witht he TMO and how it had changed for the worse. It was a rather clear summary from one point of view. I have no problem with this precis. But then you go on to say: I hardly consider that shitting all over Robin. Susan, your reading comprehension ain't so good these days. DrD didn't say it was. Go read the quote from his post at the top, see if you can figure out where you went wrong. If not, I'll be happy to help. As you see below, my next post (jsut af ew minutes later) dealt with the omission I made. My reading comprehension is just fine. From another post, 348899: And I meant to add, neither do I consider Barry's past posts about Robin to be shitting all over him. Apparently you've read very few of them, then. They've been about as nasty as it gets around here: gratuitous and dishonest and vicious and insulting and repellent in the extreme. But then I too found Robin's writings odd and uncomfortable to follow. So that excuses Barry's unpleasantness toward Robin? What are you trying to say here? I am saying what I said.

In June also in Italy, Ukraine, Russia and UK, Nabby, you do realise that people can copy other peoples ideas? It's not that unusual for fun pastimes like this to find followers abroad. If they were found in a country where there was no contact with the outside world, no internet even, then it might be interesting to suppose that the Space Brothers were widening their net but these things started in the UK and have slowly spread. The only mystery is why anyone thinks there is a mystery Agreed, no mystery at all. Our Space Brothers started doing the Crop Circles in England to draw the attention to the fact that Maitreya was living in London. As more and more of the Masters of Wisdom have reincarnated, They are now 15 in a physical body, it is only natural that our Space Brothers seek to draw our attention to these events elsewhere. Mr. Benjamin Crème on the relationship between Crop Circles, the UFO's and Maitreya: FAQ: crop circles Q. Is there any relation between Maitreya and the crop circles? A. The crop circles are created by the phenomenon we call UFOs, and there is a relation between Maitreya and the UFOs. These UFOs come, in the main, from the planets Mars and Venus. Our Hierarchy is in contact with the Hierarchies of Mars and Venus; all the Hierarchies in our system are in contact with each other. All the planets of our system are inhabited, without exception, but if you went to Mars or Venus, of course, you would see no one; they are all in higher etheric matter. If you have the higher etheric vision you see them as perfectly normal, slightly different, but not all that different, from ourselves. They are not little green people with protuberances coming out of their heads! Q. How do you interpret the phenomenon of the crop circles? A. My information about the crop circles is that they are created by what is generally called UFO activity. The UFOs come in the main from Mars and Venus, not from outside our solar system. All the planets of this system are populated, though if you went to Mars or Venus you would see no one at all -- they are all in higher etheric matter. The UFO phenomenon is distinctly related to the Reappearance of the Christ and the externalization of the work of the Hierarchy, and we owe them a great debt. Their surveillance of this planet is total and energetically of enormous benefit to the world. What the Space People are doing in the crop circles in particular is recreating to a certain degree the `grid' of our earth's magnetic field on the physical plane. Each of these crop circles is a chakra, as it were, a vortex of magnetic energy, and they are spreading out around the world, having started in England. They were dismissed in the first place, as always, by the sceptics. I do not mind if they dismiss them as a mystery which cannot be solved but to dismiss them as ``created by a freak wind'' -- that is just stupid, and patronizing to human intelligence. Nobody of average intelligence would believe that is even possible -- you only have to inspect the circles to realize that. But to make sure that that thought did not gain credibility, they began to put rectangular bits on to the circles -- and there is no wind that works in rectangles and triangles and these complex configurations. They are all `ideograms', and if you were familiar with the `ideography' of ancient Atlantis you would recognize some of them. They are meant not to be recognized as to their meaning but that they do have a meaning, and many people will `untuit' these. They are a reminder of the ancient connection with the Space Brothers. Q. Why are the vast majority of the crop circles found in England? A. This is an oblique, subtle way of drawing attention to the fact that Maitreya is in England. Q. For several years, mysterious circles have been appearing in British cornfields, among other places. The media have been giving more attention to this phenomenon lately. Are they caused by Flying Saucers, as some people think, by Maitreya's Lightship, or is there another explanation for them? A Harrier jet crashed near one of these circles. Do they create magnetic fields which could have interfered with the plane's instruments? A. These circles, which have been known to `Ufologists' for several decades, are indeed the result of action by the Space Brothers and their UFOs. They are created and left deliberately as a sign of their presence, the extraordinary structure and precision of the circles being a testimony to their higher science (none of the corn, though folded into spiral and other formations, is ever destroyed). They do indeed create a magnetic field around them but this has nothing to do with the aircraft accident. In fact, it was the body of the pilot of the jet which was found near

I suspect that this was wise on my part and, as with his posts, provided more elucidation than actually reading them. Oh, that explains it. You took the time to run a word count on Judy and doing a little math besides and now you are taking even more time to write something, personally, to Judy. I guess, in your world, this means you have no time for her and anything she says. Of course, taking multiple paragraphs to respond to Judy's post is a funny way of being aloof and unmoved so it must mean that nasty boil you've been harbouring all these years has finally come to the popping point. Everyone down, NOW! Third, if you want to emulate the guy you have the heavy mind-lusties for, you need to spew stuff like this earlier in the week, when you still have enough posts left to perform SERIAL FARTHING. Robin, after all, could poot out five or six short story-length rants about his enemies like this in a row. You've only managed three Save Up All My Farts For One Big Poot posts this week, and you diluted them by farting at *different* enemies. How are you ever going to DEMAND at the top of your high-pitched, needy voice that these enemies RESPOND to every little poot you aimed at them if you don't focus on one sole victim at a time. Ya really gotta pay more attention in class if you ever want to be considered as psychotic as the Robinster. Maybe this is an indication that Barry had Mexican for dinner, or Brussell's sprouts 'cause you seem fairly consumed by this gaseous imagery. While Judy is allegedly farting you are positively pooping all over the joint. For God's sake Barry, find a toilet. My advice is to start over next week and try to do this Robin-like Massive Fart Post Thang all over again, when you have 50 whole posts to do it with. Instead of pooting out tiny, ineffective hate-clouds, put some EFFORT into it, and SAVE THEM UP, encapsulating them into five or six serial fartposts, all trying to get the same enemy. Cry me a river and find some new way to sing this tired ballad, sir. Although I am reading this I am also dying of boredom. Move it! Then you can practice Robin's brand of Tantrum Yoga and DEMAND a response, and threaten to run away and hide if you don't get one.

The rules of this contest are simple: * You must write a number of serial posts, each with the same Subject line, each lambasting some personal enemy who has affronted you, and whom you must officially Take To Task, For The Greater Benefit Of Humanity. * Each of these serial posts must be (in honor of the poster whose name adorns the trophy) a minimum of 3,000 words in length. You may pad your entries somewhat by including long quotes from the person you are ragging on, but if the word count of these quotes exceeds your own verbiage, you risk disqualification. * Each of the serial posts in a series must have a singular focus, in that most of the rants have to be trying to get one specific enemy. Of course you can throw in the occasional tirade against *other* people on this forum you hate, but again if you include too many, you risk disqualification. * The number of posts to be included in this series is up to you, but be warned that the standard in this contest was set by its namesake, so any number less than five in a row, separated by any more than a day between posts, will be perceived (and rightly) as the slacking it is. * At the end of your post series, to qualify for the award you must present an impassioned, whiny plea/demand to the hate-object you are ragging on (and to anyone else reading your post series) to RESPOND, and in fact respond by arguing with you about *every* point you made. You are free to impugn their character in any way you want if they do NOT respond, and you are free to make multiple whine-posts demanding a RESPONSE, even after the series is over. Points will be awarded for the total number of posts per series, total word count, and amount of sheer invective hurled, as well as lack of creativity and bad writing (which we assume is a given for anyone entering the contest). Extra points will be awarded for achieving near-Robin-like levels of manic narcissism and obsession, as demonstrated by the posts being made late at night, well after midnight posters' time, staring glassy-eyed at the screen and spewing venom non-stop in a veritable shitstorm of invective.

Bhairitu: Of course paranoid FFLers will probably think they will be arrested just for watching it... Hey, you're the guy posting under an assumed name! Additional tip number 7: Do not join a social networking site like Yahoo! or Google, or Facebook, Craig's List etc, and post your real name and address. LoL! You newbies need to get some smarts about the texting on social networks ALWAYS boot up your laptop with a command line Linux shell using a 32 gigabyte micro-SD card. Then, you need to get yourself a proxy server, or at least set up a VPN to connect a small LAPTOP with your home desk top computer running LINUX - never reveal your IP address or Who-Is location. Always use a free text editor like EditPad. Never install Apple, Microsoft, Norton, Kaspersky, or McAfee programs!!! Maintain a log of every post you make and copy all your data to the SD card, ENCRYPT it, (never save your data on your desktop hard drive). Hide the micro-card inside a cracked and flashed, cheap flip phone - don't tell ANYONE where the micro-card is, EVER. Conceal the phone in your underpants. When you log on to the internet to send your one-line text messages, always use an anonymous login. NEVER sign up to any site using your real name, reveal your age or gender, or your past exploits. Tips: 1. Don't sit at the same table in the same coffee shop every day. 2. Drive a sleeper car, like a white van and tinted windows, with a V-8 under the hood. 3. Always pay your student loan to Sallie Mae using a money order and snail mail. 4. When you go out in public always wear shades, a black T-shirt and old blue jeans and running shoes. 5. Take a computer course at a community college. 6. Avoid getting any tattoos on your body or piercings that can identify you.

You are such an idiot, or do you take the Curly Howard excuse of We're not imbeciles, we're morons! One last time I am going to correct your imbecility. 1 - The pods were not nice - they were run down with pipes that screamed every time anyone took a shower, the heat and ac would freeze people on one side of the pod while frying people on the opposite side. 2 - My teacher was never marshy mahesh - my TM initiator was Jamie Vollmer who still lives in Fairfield. Neal Patterson gave me one advanced technique and the other was given in a group initiation by two Indian TM sidhi administrators, one of whom was fat, the other skinny whose names no one could pronounce so we were told to put on any future TM applications Mr. Raj as our advanced technique instructor for that course. 3 - marshy never got me to give up a damn thing, nor was I addicted to pot and booze, I used them like all the other high school kids I hung out with did. (I started TM just after graduating high school) 4 - I never tried to fly anywhere, I did the techniques for whatever they were worth 5 - Marshy's schtick has nothing whatsoever to do with my opposition to GMO crops. I oppose them because I have a brain capable of independent thinking and a nose capable of smelling shit when it is waved under my nose (like when you, Nabby, Feste, 7the ray and Dr. Dummy speak). And I smell shit when the hucksters at Monsanto do their song and dance. The writings of Eric Schlosser, Michael Pollan and also the interviews I have seen with Vandana Shiva are convincing enough, in addition to my common sense. I don't know how marshy got onto GMO opposition, but his ideas have nothing to do with me and my ideas about GMO were never in any way shape or form connected to the TM Movement's campaign against GMO.

Judy, you missed the point. You need to think about that. Of course I know Dr D did not think Barry was the only person on FFL to shit all over someone. That was my point and I knew DR had that awareness. I was merely pointing it out to him. You missed the main oint, the gist, and focused on a detail with no relevance to what we were talking about. Several other people here seem to feel quite free and expert in putting down other people and calling them names (I would say Judy and Ravi are probably most skilled at name calling and putdowns, and they do so frequently) Bit of a difference, Susan. I never do so *gratuitously*, and I never do it *dishonestly*. Plus which, I'll respond if someone wants to engage with what I say. I don't do hit- and-runs. Nor do I diagnose mental disorders in people I'm not on good terms with. However you want to characterize, or rather talk about the bad things you don't do, you ourself Judy manage to put down others frequently here. It may be a bit of a difference in how you go about doing so, but you do, as you know. Barry certainly seems to think Robin was and probably is a strange guy. No argument there. Nor is that the problem, as you know--or should. Of course, I did not say it was the problem and of course I know it is not. I was summarizing the past relationship. You should know that. Now, Barry posted something written by other people. My take was that it was not focusing on Robin and his personality and his diagnoses or problems; it was about the events of that time as seen thru the theme of spiritual movements and how they grow or split in factions or dissolve. You apparently didn't bother to read Barry's post with any attention. The big deal for Barry was that the book excerpt appeared to contradict what Robin has said about his devotion to Maharishi. (There are problems with that conclusion, but I've addressed them briefly in another post.) Robin, Shri Shri and Deepak were the players, along with MMY and the TMO. Personally I thought it was interesting to get an objective view of those years in the TMO. There were some details about Robin's activities that I did not know about, and it presented his concerns witht he TMO and how it had changed for the worse. It was a rather clear summary from one point of view. I have no problem with this precis. But then you go on to say: I hardly consider that shitting all over Robin.

One forum I was on had that problem and I let them know and they nixed the offending ad. Design wise I hate sites that don't provide a show all. Plus the link says 20 celebrities and the article says 15. While I'm at it I hate ads you can't cancel on YouTube. Some are longer than the actual video. Idiocracy is here. Creative people are in general right brained and not good with money. They often don't like to deal with it. They need managers they can trust and have someone manage their money and invest it wisely. Since you are a jyotishee you should know fame and fortune may come during one or more good planetary periods but if the next period is crap they may have trouble finding work. I saw the same problem working for a company that went public. The usual advice you get when that happens is to not sell your options because it looks like you don't trust the future of the company. In reality that is too risky and probably good idea to sell off some and find a good money manager for your stocks. The creative people at my company didn't even like to make decisions about their 401Ks. I don't have the jyotish charts of these celebrities. But they should have consulted a jyotishi while they were making the money. Better still, a financial planner. Or how about not spending millions of dollars on things they will never use and don't need? I am not sure the stars and planets made them do it but lots of famous and rich people seem to think there is no limit to what they can have and what they need. Sometimes it is simply unscrupulous employees who steal like crazy from these people, like accountants and managers. I'm pretty sure terrestrial forces are to blame for much of the financial ruin of these celebrities. When you lose control of what you have or don't take the time and care to understand where your money is going there are some simple laws of physics at work which involve dissemination and the spreading of wealth like leaves in the wind. If I remember Domash correctly it has something to do with the Third Law of Thermodynamics. Ann, That's an excellent analyzes of their situation. The laws of physics are powerful and it would take time and effort to control them, which includes the effort to keep your money in the bank. This brings me to a feature in your chart which just dawned on me yesterday. Are you in some way doing business relating to the development of photographs which requires complicated machinery? If it's true, I'll let you know the planets involved in this yoga. No, my husband does all of his photography including the post production on his computer. So, no complicated machinery for me unless you count horses being complicated and intricate which, of course, they are but luckily they aren't machines. But you are welcome to tell me anything else you want to regarding my chart! Ann, The reason why I mentioned the machine is because the planets signifying it are placed in your lagna or the first house. These planets are the Moon, Rahu and Saturn. However, these planets are placed on the 10th house of career from Mars the significator of your husband. As such, he is using this machine as part of his career as a photographer. And in another sense, you are part of his career. Also, the lords of your lagna and the fourth house have exchanged signs meaning that your home or part of it is being used by your husband as his business office. So, in that sense, you are very much part of his business since you are marriage partners. Further, since these same planets are in the second house from the Sun, the significator of your father, he incurred the habit of drinking strong alcoholic drinks while he was having dinner with your family in the house. While under the influence of alcohol, his behavior would change drastically which obviously caused much fear and anguish by your mother and the entire family.

The duration of this contest extends through the rest of 2013, and will be repeated annually. The recipient will receive the coveted Robin Carlsen Narcissism Trophy, a large statuette of the word ME carved by a known artist from a solid block of bullshit, and then gold-plated. The rules of this contest are simple: * You must write a number of serial posts, each with the same Subject line, each lambasting some personal enemy who has affronted you, and whom you must officially Take To Task, For The Greater Benefit Of Humanity. * Each of these serial posts must be (in honor of the poster whose name adorns the trophy) a minimum of 3,000 words in length. You may pad your entries somewhat by including long quotes from the person you are ragging on, but if the word count of these quotes exceeds your own verbiage, you risk disqualification. * Each of the serial posts in a series must have a singular focus, in that most of the rants have to be trying to get one specific enemy. Of course you can throw in the occasional tirade against *other* people on this forum you hate, but again if you include too many, you risk disqualification. * The number of posts to be included in this series is up to you, but be warned that the standard in this contest was set by its namesake, so any number less than five in a row, separated by any more than a day between posts, will be perceived (and rightly) as the slacking it is. * At the end of your post series, to qualify for the award you must present an impassioned, whiny plea/demand to the hate-object you are ragging on (and to anyone else reading your post series) to RESPOND, and in fact respond by arguing with you about *every* point you made. You are free to impugn their character in any way you want if they do NOT respond, and you are free to make multiple whine-posts demanding a RESPONSE, even after the series is over. Points will be awarded for the total number of posts per series, total word count, and amount of sheer invective hurled, as well as lack of creativity and bad writing (which we assume is a given for anyone entering the contest). Extra points will be awarded for achieving near-Robin-like levels of manic narcissism and obsession, as demonstrated by the posts being made late at night, well after midnight posters' time, staring glassy-eyed at the screen and spewing venom non-stop in a veritable shitstorm of invective. (This should not be a problem for anyone choosing to enter such a contest, judging from past history.) *Serious* extra points will be awarded to posters taking their *own* faults and weaknesses and projecting them onto their enemy. Good luck, and may the Best Narcissist win...

Robin likes to control the context, not necessarily at the beginning of a discussion, but, as it proceeds, control starts to emerge. I think Robin has a communication problem in that most of the people he interacts with, with the exception of Judy, find his style of writing incredibly murky, which was one of the reasons I tended to run his stuff through a text compactor, which does have some liabilities as it mechanically reduces text length rather than attempt to clarify it in simpler language and fewer words.

Using Saturn as the significator for karma, career, or productivity(per Bhrigu Nandi Nadi technique), the 10th house from Saturn becomes the 7th house. The 7th house has many planets in it, including the Sun, Jupiter, Venus, and Mars. This means that the US will be productive in many facets of life from its citizens. However, the 7th house also represents other countries outside the US. So, the US has gone world-wide to find raw materials, like oil, for production. Given this inherent feature in the chart, it is very likely that the US will be a catalyst for world government. Given the multi-trillion deficit that we have, the US will be more motivated to produce more with the help of other countries to pay for the deficit in the future. In the long run, the US will have to be more innovative and highly technological than the rest of the world to sustain its lifestyle. IMO, this will force the US to colonize the Moon and Mars to obtain resources there for use here on earth. So why did the US fall down in the 1860s and 1930s if it has such as strong chart? Remember the US is an amalgamation of states so it's a little difficult to get an idea of what is happening with one single horoscope. Which is why most astrologers debate over what is the real US horoscope. It's not like India where the jyotishees got the Brits to hand the country over at an auspicious time. The US standard of living is unsustainable. it will have to collapse but maybe just back to 1970 levels. That wasn't so bad. And why shouldn't folks in emerging nations have a good life too? Are Americans special or something? Now those folks can look at our standard of living too because of the Internet. BTW, many of those folks joke about Americans being so fat. You should test your astrology by tracking logical outcomes. Just look at the road the country is going down and make a prediction on that and see how astrology stands up to it. You might even find that pattern in the horoscope. But here is an article about the American Dream.

That would be interesting, but post length limits, and paragraph length limits might make it easier to wade through. I see, interesting Xeno - why do you feel like you have to always control the context - your sociopathic traits again? It is a personal preference, an aspect of my personal ontology. Now you write rather briefly, you seem to run out of ideas really quickly. I like that, easy to read and digest. You are clearly not a philosopher or have a philosopher's bent, like Robin. Robin likes to control the context, not necessarily at the beginning of a discussion, but, as it proceeds, control starts to emerge. I think Robin has a communication problem in that most of the people he interacts with, with the exception of Judy, find his style of writing incredibly murky, which was one of the reasons I tended to run his stuff through a text compactor, which does have some liabilities as it mechanically reduces text length rather than attempt to clarify it in simpler language and fewer words. Xeno - very controlling. you are indeed sociopathic and you can't help yourself. You didn't address my other post - the self-aware sociopath. So when did you come out of the closet?

The duration of this contest extends through the rest of 2013, and will be repeated annually. The recipient will receive the coveted Robin Carlsen Narcissism Trophy, a large statuette of the word ME carved by a known artist from a solid block of bullshit, and then gold-plated. The rules of this contest are simple: * You must write a number of serial posts, each with the same Subject line, each lambasting some personal enemy who has affronted you, and whom you must officially Take To Task, For The Greater Benefit Of Humanity. * Each of these serial posts must be (in honor of the poster whose name adorns the trophy) a minimum of 3,000 words in length. You may pad your entries somewhat by including long quotes from the person you are ragging on, but if the word count of these quotes exceeds your own verbiage, you risk disqualification. * Each of the serial posts in a series must have a singular focus, in that most of the rants have to be trying to get one specific enemy. Of course you can throw in the occasional tirade against *other* people on this forum you hate, but again if you include too many, you risk disqualification. * The number of posts to be included in this series is up to you, but be warned that the standard in this contest was set by its namesake, so any number less than five in a row, separated by any more than a day between posts, will be perceived (and rightly) as the slacking it is. * At the end of your post series, to qualify for the award you must present an impassioned, whiny plea/demand to the hate-object you are ragging on (and to anyone else reading your post series) to RESPOND, and in fact respond by arguing with you about *every* point you made. You are free to impugn their character in any way you want if they do NOT respond, and you are free to make multiple whine-posts demanding a RESPONSE, even after the series is over. Points will be awarded for the total number of posts per series, total word count, and amount of sheer invective hurled, as well as lack of creativity and bad writing (which we assume is a given for anyone entering the contest). Extra points will be awarded for achieving near-Robin-like levels of manic narcissism and obsession, as demonstrated by the posts being made late at night, well after midnight posters' time, staring glassy-eyed at the screen and spewing venom non-stop in a veritable shitstorm of invective. (This should not be a problem for anyone choosing to enter such a contest, judging from past history.) *Serious* extra points will be awarded to posters taking their *own* faults and weaknesses and projecting them onto their enemy.

I wrote a C program to count posts and then converted it to run on PHP so it could run on a server. After running it a few weeks decided it might be wise to see if anyone had a server they might run even if out of town because I didn't want to do that.

I don't believe using whale sounds will attract the aliens to respond to the SETI signals. However, the use of quantum information which are teleported instantaneously to the universe has a better chance of getting a response since it's not limited by the speed of light. IMO, if the aliens are trying to communicate with humans they would send their messages to be directly perceived by the human brain.

However, the 7th house also represents other countries outside the US. So, the US has gone world-wide to find raw materials, like oil, for production. Given this inherent feature in the chart, it is very likely that the US will be a catalyst for world government. Given the multi-trillion deficit that we have, the US will be more motivated to produce more with the help of other countries to pay for the deficit in the future. In the long run, the US will have to be more innovative and highly technological than the rest of the world to sustain its lifestyle. IMO, this will force the US to colonize the Moon and Mars to obtain resources there for use here on earth. So why did the US fall down in the 1860s and 1930s if it has such as strong chart? Remember the US is an amalgamation of states so it's a little difficult to get an idea of what is happening with one single horoscope. Which is why most astrologers debate over what is the real US horoscope. It's not like India where the jyotishees got the Brits to hand the country over at an auspicious time. The US standard of living is unsustainable. it will have to collapse but maybe just back to 1970 levels. That wasn't so bad. And why shouldn't folks in emerging nations have a good life too? Are Americans special or something? Now those folks can look at our standard of living too because of the Internet. BTW, many of those folks joke about Americans being so fat. You should test your astrology by tracking logical outcomes. Just look at the road the country is going down and make a prediction on that and see how astrology stands up to it. You might even find that pattern in the horoscope. But here is an article about the American Dream. Note that over 51% voted that the American Dream is no longer realistic. http://www.nbcnews.com/business/state-american-dream-uncertain-6C10508356 The US chart, just like any other charts, is subject to the cycles of time which can be seen in the Vimshottari Dasha system. That's why the US economy went through its depression cycles. James Kelleher, an American jyotishi, already covered this point in his article at ACVA several years ago. The US would have gone through another depression in 2008 if the Federal Reserve Board hadn't acted appropriately by lowering the interest rates and buying up billions of government bonds. It was also justified that the government bailed out some of weak banks and General Motors. We're still recovering from that tailspin. But the rest of the world also experienced the same down cycle. Some countries in Europe, like Spain, Greece, and Italy, are still experiencing double digit unemployment. As a matter of fact, the US is lucky that the economy didn't collapse due to $16 trillion national debt. IMO, this is due to the productivity potential of the US economy. The rest of the world still believes that the US can make the necessary adjustments and recover from this down cycle. There's more to this discussion but I'll it here for now. JR
[FairfieldLife] Movie: I am Love
I found this movie remarkable -saw it last night via Netflix. It stars Tilda Swinton, takes place in and around Milan, and is unlike any film I have seen. The photography is just beautiful, with images that are slowly filmed and that bring out the beauty of a plate of food, skin, a person's neck, a stairway, a stone carving detail. The movie is fairly slow-paced but exquisite.

Feelings aren't facts and all that. Again, responsibility for oneself comes to mind. You give Robin a lot of power, Xeno. Did he hurt your feelings? He did not hurt my feelings. If someone has a feeling though, that is usually a spontaneous response. Why should evidence be required to express what one feels? One does not need to take responsibility for oneself. One needs to take responsibility for the response to what one does. Telling someone to take responsibility for themselves is an attempt to make someone feel guilty. It is an attempt to demean and take control. It is a useful technique, but it does not give a person the incentive to move into a space where they think of improving themselves on their own.

That's the name of the cafe/bar/pub I'm sitting in here in Leiden, BTW, not necessarily a description of my actions. Except for the patio I'm sitting on being larger than I'm used to -- my hangout most of this past week in Paris has been a joint called Le Censier, which was tremendous, but had only limited actual sidewalk space in which to operate a sidewalk cafe -- it's not much different from the cafes I've been hanging in there in Paris. But it somehow feels different, more like home. Go figure. There's even live music here, which there wasn't at Le Censier, except for the occasional passing busker. Tonight's band here at Bad Habits is a trio consisting of a guitarist, a drummer, and a chick singer doing torch ballads. Kinda cool, actually. But yeah, it's really good to be home. Don't get me wrong...I really *love* Paris. I get off on the effervescent everchangingness of it all. But here at home I get off on the silence. It struck me tonight, walking Paris The Dog along familiar canals that had been rendered unfamiliar -- and thus new and exciting -- by my absence. The silence here is just *palpable*. And something in me prefers the silence to the effervescence. It's not a better/best, higher/lower thang, just a matter of preference. Some think that a bubbly, effervescent, real French Champagne is the best beverage going. Others prefer a more subtle drink, say a glass of a nice St. Emilion Premier Cru. I'm a St. Emilion kinda guy myself, in spades. But I'm easy about it. At Bad Habits, they wouldn't know St. Emilion from St. Nicolas. So a glass of Westmalle Triple will do.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Announcing the Robin Carlsen Memorial Narcissism Award
Xeno, I *almost* always enjoy your writing. I only say almost because I'm sure there has been at least one time when I did not enjoy your writing. I find your writing to be simple but profound and often humorous, one of my favorite combinations. Hmmm, I bet there's a spiritual practice in there somewhere (-: Anyway, I actually think everyone's writing is a combo of emotions and thoughts. How could it be otherwise? We are all a mix of thoughts and emotions and physical states. In one way or the other, consciously or unconsciously, these thoughts and emotions and physical states will be expressed in every word and action of ours. So I imagine a continuum with intellect at one end and emotions at the other. We all fall somewhere on that continuum. I think I'm pretty much in the middle, call it being intuitive and blame that on my Venus Mercury conjunction ha ha. I'd say Ravi's writing is the most emotionally expressive on FF. And it makes me laugh especially when I'm not his target, but sometimes even when I am. As a Literature major I learned to find emotions in the subtler aspects of writing such as word choice and phrasings. For example, when turq tells me to STFU or don't be an ass, I think he's expressing an emotion. I like the spontaneity of his word choice, the honesty of his emotion. I think his recent writing about being home is beautiful. Some writers here are very good at masking their emotions. I wouldn't put you in that category. Nor do I think you are without emotion. My guess is that your default emotion is benign interest or amusement. As for Robin, I can't tell when he's being straight forward and when he's being ironic. It's just one aspect of his writing that makes communicating with him challenging for me. But when I reread his last exchange with Curtis, I came to the conclusion that sometimes Robin can't help himself. I think at some point in that exchange, his brain simply shifted into another mode of functioning. And I'm not ascribing any psychological label to this. As for taking responsibility for one's actions: that goes without saying. But I also believe that we are in relationship with others and they have a certain amount of effect on us. To think otherwise is to delude ourselves IMHO. Better to have that out in the open. Just for fun: Honey, when you squeeze the toothpaste from the middle, I think you don't love me. So many ways a spouse could reply to that, right? Ok, Xeno I think you've inspired what's rare for me: getting to 50 posts. That's it til tomorrow. I don't like to post on Friday night.

Given the multi-trillion deficit that we have, the US will be more motivated to produce more with the help of other countries to pay for the deficit in the future. In the long run, the US will have to be more innovative and highly technological than the rest of the world to sustain its lifestyle. IMO, this will force the US to colonize the Moon and Mars to obtain resources there for use here on earth. So why did the US fall down in the 1860s and 1930s if it has such as strong chart? Remember the US is an amalgamation of states so it's a little difficult to get an idea of what is happening with one single horoscope. Which is why most astrologers debate over what is the real US horoscope. It's not like India where the jyotishees got the Brits to hand the country over at an auspicious time. The US standard of living is unsustainable. it will have to collapse but maybe just back to 1970 levels. That wasn't so bad. And why shouldn't folks in emerging nations have a good life too? Are Americans special or something? Now those folks can look at our standard of living too because of the Internet. BTW, many of those folks joke about Americans being so fat. You should test your astrology by tracking logical outcomes. Just look at the road the country is going down and make a prediction on that and see how astrology stands up to it. You might even find that pattern in the horoscope. But here is an article about the American Dream. Note that over 51% voted that the American Dream is no longer realistic. http://www.nbcnews.com/business/state-american-dream-uncertain-6C10508356 The US chart, just like any other charts, is subject to the cycles of time which can be seen in the Vimshottari Dasha system. That's why the US economy went through its depression cycles. James Kelleher, an American jyotishi, already covered this point in his article at ACVA several years ago. The US would have gone through another depression in 2008 if the Federal Reserve Board hadn't acted appropriately by lowering the interest rates and buying up billions of government bonds. It was also justified that the government bailed out some of weak banks and General Motors. We're still recovering from that tailspin. But the rest of the world also experienced the same down cycle. Some countries in Europe, like Spain, Greece, and Italy, are still experiencing double digit unemployment. As a matter of fact, the US is lucky that the economy didn't collapse due to $16 trillion national debt. IMO, this is due to the productivity potential of the US economy. The rest of the world still believes that the US can make the necessary adjustments and recover from this down cycle. There's more to this discussion but I'll it here for now. JR I know James Kelleher and I also know he has been open to discussing other US charts. Some of these charts may work as harmonics. The US *should* have gone through that depression because it would have hurt the public less than it is now. It would have mainly meant an end to many rich peoples fortunes and which I would not shed one tear for. I think if it brought more chaos the people would have behaved in more of a community fashion to help each other and that might still happen. You must be reading a lot of mainstream propaganda if you think we are recovering. What productivity potential does the US have? Manufacturing is gone. Manufacturers would be reticent after using foreign workers who have a different work ethic to use US workers. And you must be guessing about what the rest of the world thinks?

Do you ever stop long enough to read what you write and realize it's all about you? I have to say, you are the strangest, blindest human bean I have ever encountered. This is a problem for everyone who writes, because when we talk, write, etc., what we say typically represents our world view. So in a way this is a trivial comment, just as mine here is. Barry, Robin, Judy, Ravi, me and everyone else, we all write from our worldview POV. Sidestepping that view might be difficult. For example, if you 'hate' Barry, you could practise writing things that praise what he does. This is actually a spiritual technique - if you have a certain political persuasion, watch or listen to opponents of the view you feel is correct and see what happens in your experience. Views that are highly polarised against some particular situation, perhaps, represents getting one's buttons pushed rather than wisdom, that is, we are acting mechanically in response to that situation, we cannot control our response, or see mulitiple possibilities. Dear Xeno, you have not addressed what my comment was about. You missed the context and the meaning. You missed the joke part. How did you do this? When was the last time you let out a great big belly laugh or found yourself with tears streaming down your face from laughing so hard that even your scalp hurt? I have already thought about writing positive posts to Barry and praising who he is and what he does irrespective of whether I believed what I was saying or not and I rejected the idea. I don't like to lie. Do you like ice cream? Yes indeedy I love vanilla Haagen Dazs.

As for taking responsibility for one's actions: that goes without saying. But I also believe that we are in relationship with others and they have a certain amount of effect on us. To think otherwise is to delude ourselves IMHO. Better to have that out in the open. Just for fun: Honey, when you squeeze the toothpaste from the middle, I think you don't love me. So many ways a spouse could reply to that, right? Ok, Xeno I think you've inspired what's rare for me: getting to 50 posts. That's it til tomorrow. I don't like to post on Friday night. Just one of my loveable quirks. PS to Emily regarding Attachment Disorder: yes, thank you, I seem to be getting better, am less reactive and suffer less. I'm grateful.

Enjoy the flick, chick. When you get back, read this about earlier, which is now, but will be later as, a funny thing happened just now. I was texting a friend this evening, and after watching your Mean Girl Elvis post, I texted my friend and reminded him he kind of looked like Elvis. Then he wrote back and said when he was in Canada, women thought he was Burton Cummings and they got mad when he said he was not. So I find this, by accident, looking for Burton Cummings songs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oHb4rZfaYE and look what shirt Burton is wearing!!! LMAO!

We are all a mix of thoughts and emotions and physical states. In one way or the other, consciously or unconsciously, these thoughts and emotions and physical states will be expressed in every word and action of ours. So I imagine a continuum with intellect at one end and emotions at the other. We all fall somewhere on that continuum.

And it makes me laugh especially when I'm not his target, but sometimes even when I am. As a Literature major I learned to find emotions in the subtler aspects of writing such as word choice and phrasings. For example, when turq tells me to STFU or don't be an ass, I think he's expressing an emotion. I like the spontaneity of his word choice, the honesty of his emotion. I think his recent writing about being home is beautiful. Some writers here are very good at masking their emotions. I wouldn't put you in that category. Nor do I think you are without emotion. My guess is that your default emotion is benign interest or amusement. As for Robin, I can't tell when he's being straight forward and when he's being ironic. It's just one aspect of his writing that makes communicating with him challenging for me. But when I reread his last exchange with Curtis, I came to the conclusion that sometimes Robin can't help himself.

That's the name of the cafe/bar/pub I'm sitting in here in Leiden, BTW, not necessarily a description of my actions. Except for the patio I'm sitting on being larger than I'm used to -- my hangout most of this past week in Paris has been a joint called Le Censier, which was tremendous, but had only limited actual sidewalk space in which to operate a sidewalk cafe -- it's not much different from the cafes I've been hanging in there in Paris. But it somehow feels different, more like home. Go figure. There's even live music here, which there wasn't at Le Censier, except for the occasional passing busker. Tonight's band here at Bad Habits is a trio consisting of a guitarist, a drummer, and a chick singer doing torch ballads. Kinda cool, actually. But yeah, it's really good to be home. Don't get me wrong...I really *love* Paris. I get off on the effervescent everchangingness of it all. But here at home I get off on the silence. It struck me tonight, walking Paris The Dog along familiar canals that had been rendered unfamiliar -- and thus new and exciting -- by my absence. The silence here is just *palpable*. And something in me prefers the silence to the effervescence. It's not a better/best, higher/lower thang, just a matter of preference. Some think that a bubbly, effervescent, real French Champagne is the best beverage going. Others prefer a more subtle drink, say a glass of a nice St. Emilion Premier Cru. I'm a St. Emilion kinda guy myself, in spades. But I'm easy about it. At Bad Habits, they wouldn't know St. Emilion from St. Nicolas. So a glass of Westmalle Triple will do.

Any student of human nature knows that you cannot first shit all over someone, as you have Robin, and then trot out some third party excerpt, trying to show your objectivity. Doc, are you kidding? I mean think about it - is Barry the only person here on FFL that has shit all over someone? [I wrote:] Susan, you need to think about it. DrD never said Barry was the only person here on FFL who has done that. Judy, you missed the point. You need to think about that. Of course I know Dr D did not think Barry was the only person on FFL to shit all over someone. That was my point and I knew DR had that awareness. I was merely pointing it out to him. You missed the main oint, the gist, and focused on a detail with no relevance to what we were talking about. No, Susan, of course I got the main oint [sic], the gist, as I went on to demonstrate by disagreeing with it. I think what you pointed out to DrD was irrelevant to *his* point, which was a pattern of behavior peculiar to Barry. Several other people here seem to feel quite free and expert in putting down other people and calling them names (I would say Judy and Ravi are probably most skilled at name calling and putdowns, and they do so frequently) Bit of a difference, Susan. I never do so *gratuitously*, and I never do it *dishonestly*. Plus which, I'll respond if someone wants to engage with what I say. I don't do hit- and-runs. Nor do I diagnose mental disorders in people I'm not on good terms with. However you want to characterize, or rather talk about the bad things you don't do, you ourself Judy manage to put down others frequently here. It may be a bit of a difference in how you go about doing so, but you do, as you know. Yes, as I know *and acknowledged*. The way I do it, however, is so different from the way Barry does it that it seems absurd for you to even mention me in the context of what DrD was saying. That's what's called false equivalence. Same with Ravi, for that matter. He's a pussycat compared to Barry. Barry certainly seems to think Robin was and probably is a strange guy. No argument there. Nor is that the problem, as you know--or should. Of course, I did not say it was the problem and of course I know it is not. I was summarizing the past relationship. You should know that. See, if what you were doing was summarizing the past relationship between Barry and Robin, then it very much *is* the problem. But that wasn't at all clear in what you wrote (and if it was what you meant, as noted, it was off-the-wall wrong; I gave you the benefit of the doubt and assumed you meant something that made sense). It seemed that you were referring to what most of us here would agree about--what Xeno and I discussed earlier, that Robin isn't average. Strange might well be one way of putting that. Unusual might be another. We've certainly not seen anyone like him on FFL before (at least during my tenure here). But he isn't unusual or strange in any sense that should drive a sane person to hate his guts and viciously attack him at every opportunity, as Barry obviously does. Now, Barry posted something written by other people. My take was that it was not focusing on Robin and his personality and his diagnoses or problems; it was about the events of that time as seen thru the theme of spiritual movements and how they grow or split in factions or dissolve. You apparently didn't bother to read Barry's post with any attention. The big deal for Barry was that the book excerpt appeared to contradict what Robin has said about his devotion to Maharishi. (There are problems with that conclusion, but I've addressed them briefly in another post.) I notice you didn't acknowledge this. Robin, Shri Shri and Deepak were the players, along with MMY and the TMO. Personally I thought it was interesting to get an objective view of those years in the TMO. There were some details about Robin's activities that I did not know about, and it presented his concerns witht he TMO and how it had changed for the worse. It was a rather clear summary from one point of view. I have no problem with this precis. But then you go on to say: I hardly consider that shitting all over Robin. Susan, your reading comprehension ain't so good these days. DrD didn't say it was. Go read the quote from his post at the top, see if you can figure out where you went wrong. If not, I'll be happy to help. As you see below, my next post (jsut af ew minutes later) dealt with the omission I made. No, Susan, this is not honest. Your next post didn't fix your mistake. Your mistake wasn't an omission, it was a misreading of DrD's post. Barry's

Using Saturn as the significator for karma, career, or productivity(per Bhrigu Nandi Nadi technique), the 10th house from Saturn becomes the 7th house. The 7th house has many planets in it, including the Sun, Jupiter, Venus, and Mars. This means that the US will be productive in many facets of life from its citizens. However, the 7th house also represents other countries outside the US. So, the US has gone world-wide to find raw materials, like oil, for production. Given this inherent feature in the chart, it is very likely that the US will be a catalyst for world government. Given the multi-trillion deficit that we have, the US will be more motivated to produce more with the help of other countries to pay for the deficit in the future. In the long run, the US will have to be more innovative and highly technological than the rest of the world to sustain its lifestyle. IMO, this will force the US to colonize the Moon and Mars to obtain resources there for use here on earth. So why did the US fall down in the 1860s and 1930s if it has such as strong chart? Remember the US is an amalgamation of states so it's a little difficult to get an idea of what is happening with one single horoscope. Which is why most astrologers debate over what is the real US horoscope. It's not like India where the jyotishees got the Brits to hand the country over at an auspicious time. The US standard of living is unsustainable. it will have to collapse but maybe just back to 1970 levels. That wasn't so bad. And why shouldn't folks in emerging nations have a good life too? Are Americans special or something? Now those folks can look at our standard of living too because of the Internet. BTW, many of those folks joke about Americans being so fat. You should test your astrology by tracking logical outcomes. Just look at the road the country is going down and make a prediction on that and see how astrology stands up to it. You might even find that pattern in the horoscope. But here is an article about the American Dream. Note that over 51% voted that the American Dream is no longer realistic. http://www.nbcnews.com/business/state-american-dream-uncertain-6C10508356 The US chart, just like any other charts, is subject to the cycles of time which can be seen in the Vimshottari Dasha system. That's why the US economy went through its depression cycles. James Kelleher, an American jyotishi, already covered this point in his article at ACVA several years ago. The US would have gone through another depression in 2008 if the Federal Reserve Board hadn't acted appropriately by lowering the interest rates and buying up billions of government bonds. It was also justified that the government bailed out some of weak banks and General Motors. We're still recovering from that tailspin. But the rest of the world also experienced the same down cycle. Some countries in Europe, like Spain, Greece, and Italy, are still experiencing double digit unemployment. As a matter of fact, the US is lucky that the economy didn't collapse due to $16 trillion national debt. IMO, this is due to the productivity potential of the US economy. The rest of the world still believes that the US can make the necessary adjustments and recover from this down cycle. There's more to this discussion but I'll it here for now. JR I know James Kelleher and I also know he has been open to discussing other US charts. Some of these charts may work as harmonics. The US *should* have gone through that depression because it would have hurt the public less than it is now. It would have mainly meant an end to many rich peoples fortunes and which I would not shed one tear for. I think if it brought more chaos the people would have behaved in more of a community fashion to help each other and that might still happen. You must be reading a lot of mainstream propaganda if you think we are recovering. What productivity potential does the US have? Manufacturing is gone. Manufacturers would be reticent after using foreign workers who have a different work ethic to use US workers. And you must be guessing about what the rest of the world thinks? Try this web site which has foreign press articles translated to English: http://watchingamerica.com/News/ There's optimism and then there's drinking the kool-aid. The US is now pondering how to proceed with its problems and the problems with the rest of the world. It would too easy to say that we should solve our problems first and the rest will take care of itself.
