Spotify pays artists 8/1000th's of a cent(!), as a royalty per song sale. That 
compares to iTunes, which pays about 70 cents per song. Cheap bastards

[FairfieldLife] Has Snowden gone Caracas?

2013-07-12 Thread salyavin808

Amid all the spying revelations about PRISM and the NSA released by
Edward Snowden, the mainstream press seems to have missed this:


Venezuelan Asylum Achieved, Snowden reveals UFO DocumentsBY KILGOAR
 , ON JULY 5TH, 2013 [Mantle Convection
300x157 Venezuelan Asylum Achieved, Snowden reveals UFO Documents ] 

According to bombshell documents leaked by Snowden, the government has
long known UFOs to be a species more advanced than mankind.

CARACAS, Venezuela  – Edward Snowden, the leaker of NSA surveillance
documents, was granted asylum in Venezuela on Friday. With safe harbors
in sight, Snowden was willing to share shocking and world-shattering
exclusive secret government documents with The Internet Chronicle.

Snowden's testimony was as follows:
"The highest levels of government don't know what to do about
UFOs, and the official story that they are all merely weather balloons
or natural phenomena has been clearly dismissed. If anything, these
documents speak about UFOs as if they are surely guided by an
intelligence beyond our own. As it turns out, the most credible and
inexplicable sightings are of vehicles that have been spotted leaving
the sea floor at hydrothermal vents and directly entering solar orbit .
. .

"Because ballistic missile tracking systems and deep-sea sonar are
kept as state secrets, scientists don't have access to data about
these objects. However, most of the contractors at DARPA are sure that
there is a species more intelligent than homo sapiens living in the
mantle of the Earth. It makes sense, if you think about it, because that
is the only place where conditions have been more or less stable for
billions of years. Extremophiles may live at different temperatures than
us, but they have been able to thrive and develop intelligence at a
seemingly accelerated rate. That's not true, because they've
simply evolved at the same rate, but without many of the vicissitudes
which set back surface life . . .

"The president receives daily briefings about their activities.
Analysts believe their technology to be so far advanced that we stand
little chance of survival in any potential war. The general sentiment is
that we are but ants from their perspective, so there is little chance
they would empathize or attempt to communicate with us, and the current
contingency plan is to detonate nuclear weapons in deep caverns to
`sting' the foe we have no hope of destroying in hopes it would
discourage further attacks."

Critics may allege that what the 30-year-old former NSA and CIA
contractor can state with authority about our ultraterrestrial neighbors
is already well-known. But the Ground-Penetrating Radar, or GPR, scans,
which The Internet Chronicle has shared and confirmed with sources
within intelligence community, will only serve to underscore popular
bitterness over strategically timed earthquakes and tsunamis.

Just as PRISM shined a new light on goings-on in NSA's ECHELON
computer systems, revealed in the 1990s, the vast complexes of
underground cities  – laser-etched from pure diamond – apparent
in the GPR scans will transform public debate about the balance between
liberty and security.

Actually that explains the ongoing moisture laden rain events of the last 
several years.  It used to be that a one inch rain was considered a ten year 
rain here.  We commonly get 10 year rains now.  

Notice just recently this week that the air-flow streaming at about 3 to 9 
thousand feet has shifted this week to mid-summer drought pattern like the last 
few years shutting off the flow of ocean evaporated air off of the gulf of Baja 
and Gulf of Mexico coming up to the mid-west.  Weather follows the sun by one

This is grossly offensive total bullshit, Share. And
somewhere deep in your stunted heart and atrophied
conscience, you know it.

> There was plenty of hurtful words on both sides.

There did not have to be *any* hurtful words on
either side had you, Share, simply accepted Robin's
initial explanation of what he had said to you that
you had so absurdly misunderstood.

Instead, you mulishly resisted that explanation--as
well as his gracious (and entirely undeserved) *apology*
to you for having written something quite simple and
straightforward that you somehow managed to get
thoroughly garbled in your own mind. It was so
ridiculously, hideously garbled that Robin didn't even
understand what you were objecting to at first.

Robin was blameless in all this. What you call "hurtful
words" on his side were no more than his trying to get
you to deal with reality. This terrified you so badly
that you made your inexcusable and utterly unjustified
accusation that he had "psychologically raped" you--
referring back to your *original* misunderstanding. I've
documented how mild your initial complaint was and how
you went on to inflate and embroider it, contradicting
yourself time and again and refusing to address the
contradictions when they were pointed out to you.

There is no way anybody but you needs to apologize. And
your apology needs to be made in the same place as you
made your false accusation, right here on FFL, in public
where everyone can see it. That has not happened yet. Not
only have you not apologized "many times," you have
*never* apologized for that.

There is no basis for you to demand behind-the-scenes
negotiations. With behavior as appalling as this, the
target does not have to give you any "indications" that
an apology is in order, or that he would accept one if
you made it. Difficult though it may be for you to face,
the reality is that you don't get to put conditions on
making that apology. You owe it unconditionally.

Your refusal to apologize for what you know was a false
accusation is the elephant in the room of your claims
to be all about seeking healing and making amends for
your bad behavior. You will never be successful at either
until you confront the reality of that false accusation
and apologize for it.

I too, surround myself with a country music- free zone. Sometimes I try and 
listen to it to see how strong my constitution is but within 15 seconds I have 
to turn it off. I have a visceral reaction to it and all of these young women 
here in Victoria, especially the horsey ones, love the crap. They had foolishly 
tried to put it on the radio station at the tack store and figured out pretty 
quickly that was a "no go". Then I would put on our Seattle-based NPR station 
with jazz and they hated that. So now we have compromised and listen to a more 
mainstream rock-type station but that can be insipid at times. If I got with 
the times and set up an iPod at work it would be best but it hasn't happened 
yet.

you want to beat me up. Is that a sandwich in my lunchbox, or is that the 38 
snub nose revolver that my Dad left accidentally on the table?

I am thinking about Emily's post. In my good time. The longer I wait, the 
longer I can keep my fictional dignity. You cannot have it both ways Ravi, 
though with a mind like yours, I am sure you keep trying.

Wrong. I have no idea whether it impresses people or not, or will impress 
people or not. I just make it up. If I angle for trying to get some specific 
response from others, then that behaviour results in my being controlled by 
that desire. It is living in a prison.

For reasons not known to me, you appear to think that what you think represents 
reality and truth. The human mind is a fantasy manufacturing facility, and it 
churns out its stuff on a second by second basis.

 Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
 As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
 Are melted into air, into thin air:
 And like the baseless fabric of this vision,
 The cloud-capp'd tow'rs, the gorgeous palaces,
 The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
 Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
 And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
 Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
 As dreams are made on; and our little life
 Is rounded with a sleep.

Not only are they obviously not objective, they weren't

You don't seem to get it. This has to do with your behavior
on FFL, in public, which gives me every right to comment.

Whatever he may have said or not said to you in private
weeks ago, your refusal to apologize hadn't even been a
topic here for some time. If he wants to come on FFL and
say something about it, he's welcome to do so.

Let me repeat what I said below, because you appear to
have missed it:

"There is no basis for you to demand behind-the-scenes
negotiations. With behavior as appalling as this, the
target does not have to give you any 'indications' that
an apology is in order, or that he would accept one if
you made it. Difficult though it may be for you to face,
the reality is that you don't get to put conditions on
making that apology. You owe it unconditionally."

Thanks, John, this is interesting. And I'm guessing that since it's the Moon in 
Aquarius, it will be women who will play a prominent role in this process.

Replying to post about Mars in 7th: USA has kuja dosha! Just like Ram!

Replying to post about war being waged via machines: reminds me of a Star Trek 
episode in which 2 planets waged war via computers. They had an agreement to 
honor kills estimates by sending their respective citizens into killing 
chambers thus, according to the elders, preserving their infrastructure and 
culture, etc. Kirk's opinion was that in doing this, they lost sight of the 
horrors of war vis a vis the loss of human life. I thought it was a profound 
episode.

In the US national chart, the Moon is placed in Aquarius which coincides with 
the oft-mentioned Age of Aquarius in which the world is transitioning into.  In 
the scheme of the Vedic Yugas, the world is now in the ascending mode of the 
Copper Age or the Dwapara Period, according to Shri Yukteswar.  It means that 
the USA will benefit in the development of higher consciousness throughout the 
world.  It also suggests that the USA will be positioned to participate in the 
next evolution or revolution towards sophisticated high technology in science 
and space exploration.

In the short run, the US is undergoing a new phase of its business and economic 
cycle.  After the tenure of President Barack Obama, the transformation will be 
evident.  There will be challenges in the process.  Undoubtedly, the changes 
will revolve around taxation, retirement age eligibility, Medicare, the deficit 
and the national debt.

The transformation process will not be instantaneous.  It could take as long as 
20 years.  But once complete the US can once again be economically healthy to 
pursue its quest for life, liberty and happiness.

Yes, we shipped over all the puritan types on the Mayflower and it's
been swinging London ever since :)
Richard Rose was serious about advocating celibacy - he wanted his
students to have no sex - solo or partnered - for 12 months, to clean
the slate as it were. Is that actually possible for a red-blooded young
man? It seems Rose had at least one affair judging by the review forThe
Direct Mind Experience on Amazon from his first wife which I copy
verbatim below:
I am truely amazed at the popularity of Mr. Rose's literary attempts.
How sad that he knows nothing of his success, though he is not yet
deceased. The person I read about is a stranger to me though I was wife
#1(there's a #2 as well) from 1950 thru 1974(a marriage that produced 3
children). I will grant that he was a brilliant & imaginative man,
though perhaps a bit psychotic. I caution to beware. You are reading the
rantings of a man that lost touch with reality years ago - long before
illness ravaged his oh so demented mind.
How's that for revenge?

It disappeared after the Civil War with the Supreme Court decision on 
Santa Clara County vs Southern Pacific Railroad.  Up until then 
corporations were limited in their power, size and lifespan.  This was 
the first time that the Supreme Court declared that corporation had the 
rights of individuals.  Remember the colonists were fighting the British 
East Indian Company whose principal stockholder was the King of 
England.  This left a bad taste in the mouths of many of the founding 
fathers who set up laws to keep corporations from being so powerful.  We 
are no longer a country "for the people, by the people" but "for the 
corporations and by the corporations." Anything else is an illusion.

Perhaps the Supreme Court is a bad idea.  It probably should have been 
done away with and replaced by something more democratic.

Pays artists or publishers?  iTunes would be paying the record publisher 
in most cases unless the artist is a self-publisher.  Same should be 
true for Spotify. Artists were generally screwed by record companies 
anyway. Recordings have long been thought of as a way to get people to 
your concerts where you make the real money though back in the day one 
could make some good money on record and mechanical royalties.  As a 
musician I was amazed at how important people thought music was when 
Napster popped up.  You'd think they wouldn't have cut the arts from the 
school curriculum.

Share,

Yes, you're correct that will be the case since the US culture has long ignored 
the rights of women, minorities and the LGBT population.  This can be seen in 
the US natal chart having the Moon, a significator for women, alone by itself 
without any support of any planets from the adjacent houses.  The Moon also 
disposits the conjunction of Mercury and Rahu in the 8th house which signifies 
minorities and the LGBT population.

Since Saturn is the dispositor of the Moon and is the significator of work, 
there is hope that the US will someday have equal opportunity for women and 
other minorities in the workplace.  Perhaps, in the future, there will be an 
American woman president.

> Replying to post about Mars in 7th: USA has kuja dosha! Just like Ram!

This is why the USA as a country has been fairly aggressive in joining and 
initiating wars, such as the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars.  It has a history for 
spending a lot of money for these wars which have most recently caused havoc in 
the economy and which we are paying for most reluctantly.

I vaguely remember that episode but I'm sure I've seen all of the Star Trek 
episodes many years ago.  IMO, wars will be same in the future and will aimed 
to destroy the enemies wherever they may be.

It will take an act of Congress to change the makeup of the Supreme Court.  For 
the time being, the judges have been adept at dodging major decisions as seen 
in its handling of the gay marriage issue.

Sometime, probably soon, the dollar will collapse and with it the US.  
You'll be "on your own".  Some places may form "community" but other 
areas will be like a "Road Warrior" society.  People should be paying 
attention to things like the cost of food and what kind of food you are 
getting at your grocer.  Quality has gone done in the search for 
profit.   They will poison you to stay rich.

John, what is the current ayanamsha degree?  It is no where near 
Aquarius.  It has almost 6 degrees to go which will take another 200 
years or more.

Yup, it sure doesn't look like Kali Yuga does it?  And the new span of 
the Bay Bridge is SO SAFE it will be safe to travel over after it opens

Yes, that's correct.  The spring equinox still occurs at about 6 degrees in 
Pisces.  But everyone is saying we are at the cusp.  So, we're feeling the Age 
of Aquarius.  Well, 200 years is nothing compared to the total cycle of about 
25,000 years.

Sadhguru has an interesting take about the cause of the earth's precession.  He 
thinks the cause of it is an Invisible Star in which our Sun is revolving 
around.  

This is slightly different from Yukteswar's idea that our Sun is part of a 
binary star system in which the Sun is dancing with the star Sirius as they 
both journey around the Milky Way.  That's what one may call a cosmic polka 
dance. :)

I'll take my time crossing over the bridge.  I won't be there on opening day.  
You can cross it first and let us know about the experience.

According to the criteria by Kalidasa, I'm well suited for living in San 
Francisco.  But using the criteria through astro-cartography, I am supposed to 
be living in the longitude going through Couer D'Alene to Tijuana, Mexico.  
That's quite a diversity of cities right there.

Anyway, the natal Moon of the USA in Aquarius is the same as mine.  So, we're 
buds or soul brothers.  If I don't make here, I won't make it anywhere (to 
paraphrase a song).

Ann,

Gene Roddenberry, the director of the show, was way ahead of his time.  His 
ideas were awe-inspiring.  According to some scientist, it is possible to 
travel at warp speed.  But no one knows how to build such a space ship, nor how 
to get the enormous power requirement to fly it--at least for now.  The hidden 
answers may lie in the potential discoveries of the LHC in Switzerland.  Stay 
tuned.

2013-07-12 Thread sparaig
Everyone is different. One thing I've noted about 40 years (as of yesterday) 
TM practice is that I still don't know "how" to do it.

I find it fascinating that anyone has discovered a way to "do" it (whatever 
"it" is) better.

It certainly was, but I doubt that the value of nimesha (16/75th of
a second) is (at least) some two thousand years old. I don't
claim that Sadhguru made it up, though. It might have been added to
the suurya-siddhaanta after the value was measured in the West??

Wiki:
The work referred to by the title Surya Siddhanta has been repeatedly
recast. There may have been an early work under that title dating back
to the Buddhist Age of India (3rd century BC). The work as preserved and
edited by Burgess (1860) dates to the Middle Ages. Utpala
 , a 10th-century commentator of
Varahamihira, quotes six shlokas of the Surya Siddhanta of his day, not
one of which is to be found in the text now known as the Surya
Siddhanta. The present version was modified byBhaskaracharya
  during the Middle
Ages.[citation needed
 ] The present
Surya Siddhanta may nevertheless be considered a direct descendant of
the text available to Varahamihira.[1]

Everyone is different. One thing I've noted about 40 years (as of yesterday) TM 
practice is that I still don't know "how" to do it.

I find it fascinating that anyone has discovered a way to "do" it (whatever 
"it" is) better.

Apparently there are no TM Teachers in good standing 
that post to FFL, which figures. But, that makes it 
difficult to find out what's happening up there inside
the TMO. 

So far, we know that Alex has a brother who is a Raja. 
Lawson visited Fairfield once, MJ said he was there in 
a pod in the eighties. Sometimes I hear things at the 
pool at Radiance, the TM Ideal Village in Austin. 

Go figure.

Dear Turquoise B, 

You may have skipped over this post. I found it especially
creepy, even for Angry Arrogant Ann. She seems right on
the verge of calling you "daddy." Sooo sooo close it made my
skin crawl. Explains a lot, her being a serial cultist and so
disturbingly nasty to Share.  

(N.B. : Whenever Vajradhatu or Curtis would mangle spelling
or syntax---"the third of fourth of the night"--- the Junkyard
dog would attribute it to them either lying or experiencing extreme 
psychological distress rather than a simply mistyping. Go
figure.

Looking forward to the final season.  These things go on to long anyway 
and it's mainly for  a paycheck for the crew not the TV addicts.

Thumbs up for "Orange is the New Black" on Netflix WI though the opening 
scenes are definitely rated "Not for Buck."  With Jason Biggs playing 
the main character's fiancee better hope she didn't leave any apple pies 
behind.

Big thumbs up on the "Starlet" indie film with Mariel Hemingway's 
daughter Dree playing lead (she's had some serious drama training). Sad 
to say the woman playing the elderly role passed away April 4th but she 
did a great job.  It was her first acting role too.  Her main career: 
astrologer though IMDB called her an "astrologist".  I wonder if they 
call people like Carl Sagan who were astronomers "astronomists?" :-D

Watched the second episode of HBOs "Ray Donovan" which might keep me 
watching. Folks were iffy on the first episode which probably had too 
much backstory setup.

Dear Share - I think this is a brilliant move. This new strategy is the 
right way to avoid Judy's perverse, obsessive, pathological need to 
stick to facts, stick to truth. Clearly she lacks emotional 
intelligence, or why would she continually insist on presenting the 
gory, cruel, torturous facts with links to your posts over and over 
again. Why can't she just let you rest in peace, why does she trigger 
you and your attachment disorder?


Your new strategy is sure to perplex and thwart Judy. Yep - where is her 
moral authority, what are her credentials - is she a fucking therapist, 
does she like have a Ph. D? Or is she even a pastoral counsellor even? Ha.


This is a sickness dear Share. People like Judy who insist on truth, 
insist on facts should be fucking institutionalized, they need to be 
fucking medicated - yeah that's we need and your efforts are very 
admirable, brave and courageous my dear.

You don't seem to get it. This has to do with your behavior
on FFL, in public, which gives me every right to comment.

Whatever he may have said or not said to you in private
weeks ago, your refusal to apologize hadn't even been a
topic here for some time. If he wants to come on FFL and
say something about it, he's welcome to do so.

Let me repeat what I said below, because you appear to
have missed it:

"There is no basis for you to demand behind-the-scenes
negotiations. With behavior as appalling as this, the
target does not have to give you any 'indications' that
an apology is in order, or that he would accept one if
you made it. Difficult though it may be for you to face,
the reality is that you don't get to put conditions on
making that apology. You owe it unconditionally."

Wrong. I have no idea whether it impresses people or not, or will 
impress people or not. I just make it up. If I angle for trying to get 
some specific response from others, then that behaviour results in my 
being controlled by that desire. It is living in a prison.


For reasons not known to me, you appear to think that what you think 
represents reality and truth. The human mind is a fantasy 
manufacturing facility, and it churns out its stuff on a second by 
second basis.




Yes wow Xeno is back !!! Yep this nails it really - human mind is a 
fantasy manufacturing ability. Judy may have produced clear evidence of 
Share's words over and over again - but it is all fantasy, fiction. 
Really I can say Xenosociopath is a , something about Xeno makes me 
uncomfortable and his behavior is very similar to a sociopath. andI 
don't really need to take any accountability for it because that's what 
it is - my mind, conjuring up fantasies. Not to forget truth and facts 
don't matter in Unity - your original postulate Xeno, facts and truth 
don't exist at a universal, impersonal level, very powerful - very profound.


I wonder if arguments like yours can used in a court of law. I mean 
anything can be explained away with your postulates Xeno. Why is there 
any need for any honesty, any integrity? I don't think you even 
associate with these values - you don't even have any dignity 
apparently. How pathetic and retarded Xeno.





Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp'd tow'rs, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.

(cough cough) You'll excuse me, I seem to have swallowed
my spit.

You are of course free to conduct matters between yourself
and Robin as you see fit, just as I am free to comment on
whatever happens on FFL, including your public communications
with and about Robin, as I see fit.

I'm not at all sure why you imagine I would be interested in
your opinions of my "moral authority," etc., given what you
know of my opinions of you on those same scores.

Do you think anyone will notice that you can't seem to
muster up any reasoned rebuttal to what I've said?

BTW, indulge my curiosity, if you will. You write:

"Plus when Robin emailed me a few weeks ago, on June 17,
he said nothing specific about our upset. So I don't
think it is appropriate for you to comment on these
matters."

I seem to be missing the connection between his not
saying anything *specific* about your "upset" (how
specific? did he say anything *generally* about your
upset?) and the purported inappropriateness of my
comments on these matters.

After all, that was three weeks ago, and nobody was
discussing your "upset" at the time here, so why
*would* he have mentioned it?

It seems a bit dodgy for you to introduce this as if
it were evidence in your favor. And I wonder why, as
well, you failed to bring this up when you were making
this huge fuss about the possibility that he'd been
reading FFL.

To be fair to Share, Emily, I *had* just got done
commenting on the *public* upset between the two
of them, what had happened on FFL in the month that
led up to Share's inexcusable accusation. This was
in response to her attempt to excuse herself for her
refusal to apologize (claiming to Xeno that I was
"using that issue...in an unhealthy way"). She had
characterized the issue in a manner that did not
reflect the reality, to say the least (speaking of
"unhealthy"), and I set the record straight about
what had actually gone on in public between them.

Of course Robin and Share's private contacts are
their business. What Share has never quite seemed to
grasp is that what a person posts to a public forum
becomes the business of everyone who reads that
forum.

I guess you just looked at the number and didn't read

How many of those 10,3000,000 (extra zero in there, I
think, you might want to fix that) hits do you think
had to do with moi? How many do you figure were the
result of unfamiliarity with the syntax of search terms?
How many were the result of your incompetence in using
LMGTFY.com? How many of the hits that were left were a

I love it. Just about every time you think you've

[FairfieldLife] Re: Come to Meditation

2013-07-12 Thread Buck

the Guru Dev Discourses, 
Cultivating to the subtle nervous system I like reading the discourses as an 
adjunct spiritual practice at those times as I sit with them.  It's a nice 
checking.  Of course their coming from the mid-20th Century there is that 
cultural overlay and application but they are quite true and practical even so. 
 Presently in the 21st Century I like mentally substituting Unified Field for 
the Indian jargon used around the spiritual instruction, Unified Field for 
Paramatma and the Bhagavan.  That works good as technique.  Same field with 
same vectors just a different cultural overlay of fluctuation or ray of the 
divine.  The Sanskrit modality though is quaint too.  The footnotes are 
interesting for context.  But overall great practical everyday spiritual 
teaching that is essential.

Creepy yes. Because I have a lot of experience with mean drunks. But that is

Serial cultist is so laughably inaccurate even you would blush to know how 
stupid you sound and, indeed, are. Share is the serial cultist. And you are 
simply angry. I don't know about arrogant; you don't seem self-confident enough 
to be so. I'm a fighter, there is a big difference between arrogance and 
gumption. One day you, and Share, might be able to figure out the difference. 
In the meantime just keep making a fool out of yourself while Share busies 
herself running after the next great teacher/healer all around that square in 
Fairfield. Just like the locals used to circle it every weekend night - round 
and round and round.

[FairfieldLife] The Guru Dev [SBS] Discourses

2013-07-12 Thread Buck
Within the Guru Dev discourses there is direct plain advice pertinent to 
pricing spirituality and also policy recommendation throughout about seeing 
saints.  You know, Brahmananda Saraswati, Guru Dev .  It's also a lot of what 
we grew up with as the teaching and the spiritual regeneration movement.

Don't confuse Share with the facts. Her mind is already made up. She sees 
things from her reality only. There in no room for reality in a discussion with 
her. Your point of view has no value despite the facts. It's a coping behavior 
that attempts to control the outcome of a dispute in relationships. Too bad she 
hasn't figured out that attacking the messenger and piling on more layers of 
bullshit to confuse the issue is a piss poor strategy on a public forum.
