I think it's tightly written, superbly acted and directed, and it occasionally makes some strong and valid criticisms of the News and how it works...and how it sometimes fails to work. All six of the previous episodes this season have been leading up to last night's episode, when a seemingly strong story they'd broadcast came crashing down with embarrassing-to-the-network and mass-resignations-required consequences. And IMO all on the team did a fine job in presenting this story in these six episodes. But -- again IMO -- all of this was preface. It was all leading up to a scene featuring the actress who had not been present so far in the season, delivering a speech that both Aaron Sorkin (as the writer) and her (as the actress delivering it) will be remembered for long after those who rag on The Newsroom are dead and forgotten. The owner of the fictional News network gets called out of a charity benefit she's dressed to the nines and paid a thousand bucks to attend because she wanted to meet Daniel Craig, who was a no-show. She's not in the best of moods, because she really *wanted* to meet Daniel Craig. And to top that off, she's stoned. Then she gets called into a room and told that she has to accept the resignations of her three most key employees at the network. That's the setup. The punchline is that this woman is being played by Jane Fonda, one of the greatest actresses any of us have ever been privileged to see onscreen. My bet is that she'll be nominated for another Emmy (she already was, for her work in last season) for this five minutes of screen time. And my hope is that she wins. This was as masterful a piece of acting as I have ever seen in my life. She literally brought tears to my eyes. Those of you who like to rag on The Newsroom can carry on now, carrying on. Me, I'll carry on enjoying great TV wherever I find it, no matter how many others don't like it.

He was radiant, he was fun and funny, smart. The air around him pulsed with energy.

I later heard, that Maharishi supposedly called this photo, the one with the 1000 year old glance, or some similar expression (does anyone remember this), and that it would be this image that would survive. I always thought, that if one would rejuvenate the TM movement, that one should use this image. Here sides are reversed.

That's it - blame it on the Jewish Cabal. It's probably just a false flag event, but who really lobbed the WMD in Syria the other day? The NeoCon crime syndicate was out in force on Sunday trying to sell another war. John Kerry is a Dem - go figure. Bhairitu: The Democrats have sold out too. Everyone knows by now that you voted Dem in the last elections. You voted for a guy that ran on a platform promising to bring the troops home. You made a big mistake, I guess - so why not get some smarts this time around? Who gives a fuck which religion they are. Everyone knows that the NeoCon syndicate is a Jewish cabal, you just said so - the Syrians are Islamists fighting a civil war. So, how would it benefit the Israelis to have a civil war in Syria? You're not making any sense. The NeoCons are about American Imperialism at YOUR EXPENSE!

He doesn't look like a sex god there, but I certainly thought his demeanor was beautiful, the way he walked into the hall had something royal. But I guess, much of that, what we see, and the way we see it, is also a conditioning. There were also people who were attracted to Rajneesh, he was also bald, so... That is such a lovely photo - the classic one of MMY. As a woman who spent months and months and months around Maharishi in the 1970's, I can tell you it never even crossed my mind to consider him as someone to have sex with. He was radiant, he was fun and funny, smart. The air around him pulsed with energy. And, as iranitea says, his carriage as he entered the lecture hall, or anytime I saw him walking, was just regal and flowing. He was relaxed and yet completely upright and balanced, he glided as he walked. Thanks Susan, thanks Ann too. Nice description above Susan - so you *are* really a woman. (wasn't sure for some strange reason) Here is another one of my old favorites, actually the one which was on the first posters I saw in my hometown. I later heard, that Maharishi supposedly called this photo, the one with the 1000 year old glance, or some similar expression (does anyone remember this), and that it would be this image that would survive. I always thought, that if one would rejuvenate the TM movement, that one should use this image. Here sides are reversed.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: A Real Fairfield Life Post - Siduri in the Epic of Gilgamesh
Dear Bob, given what Siduri says, I would suggest that you get the pedicure. Mean girl love, Emily Siduri is a character in the Epic of Gilgamesh. She is an alewife, a wise female divinity associated with fermentation. In the Old Babylonian version of the Epic, she attempts to dissuade Gilgamesh in his quest forimmortality, urging him to be content with the simple pleasures of life (Gilgamesh, whither are you wandering? Life, which you look for, you will never find. For when the gods created man, they let death be his share, and life withheld in their own hands. Gilgamesh, fill your belly. Day and night make merry. Let days be full of joy, dance and make music day and night. And wear fresh clothes. And wash your head and bathe. Look at the child that is holding your hand, and let your wife delight in your embrace. These things alone are the concern of men.)[1]Siduri's advice was recorded in the Old Babylonian version of Tablet X referred to as the Meissner fragment.

You add color and an extra dimension to this group. I think you scared Barry which is why he doesn't reply to you. We are geneticaly hardwired to see symmetrical faces and clear skin as attractive.

You are not attracted to someone with a similar immune system. It's a mechanism by nature to prevent in-breeding. It also ensures that the ofspring are healthy and have better immune systems.

I'm thinking it may also explain why I'm attracted to multilingual women who speak English as a second or third language; unlike that ungrateful sod Murdoch (remember she almost took a pie in the face for him)---who, just after filing for divorce, was overheard telling a friend that after 15 years of marriage he realized had never understood what Wendi was saying---I happen to believe that not speaking the same first language as your spouse has some real advantages. I mean, just this morning, the wife asked me if I would consider getting a pedicure as she is getting fed up with the scratches I'm leaving on her lovely long legs in the night. After standing there for a minute, I decided to quote her from my favorite overcoming the monster plot: Gilgamesh said, 'I dreamed again. We stood in a deep gorge of the mountain, and beside it we two were like the smallest of swamp flies; and suddenly the mountain fell, it stuck me and caught my feet from under me. Then came an intolerable light blazing out, and in it was one whose grace and whose beauty were greater than the beauty of this world. He pulled me out from under the mountain, he gave me water to drink and my heart was comforted, and he set my feet on the ground.'

Call me guilty of being a lifelong straight guy, but I simply don't understand women who would find Maharishi Mahesh Yogi sexually *attractive* enough to want to have sex with him. Charismatic, maybe, depending on your stan- dards for that concept. The next thing to god in their minds, possibly. But sexually attractive? I just don't get it. With some *other* teachers, of both sexes, I can definitely see them being considered sexually attractive by their students.

RE: [FairfieldLife] The Newsroom: Red Team III
I've only watched the first two episodes so far. My only criticisms were that the dialog seemed so frenetic, and so cute and witty and off-the-cuff articulate, that it seemed unrealistic. Aaron Sorkin's The West Wing sucked me in and made me feel I was really in the White House. The Newsroom hasn't sucked me in yet. I felt I was watching something unrealistic. From: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com [mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of turquoiseb Sent: Monday, August 26, 2013 10:01 AM To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Subject: [FairfieldLife] The Newsroom: Red Team III OK, I know that not many here enjoy this series as much as I do, but I'm the only person I have to please around here, and I love it. I think it's tightly written, superbly acted and directed, and it occasionally makes some strong and valid criticisms of the News and how it works...and how it sometimes fails to work. All six of the previous episodes this season have been leading up to last night's episode, when a seemingly strong story they'd broadcast came crashing down with embarrassing-to-the-network and mass-resignations-required consequences. And IMO all on the team did a fine job in presenting this story in these six episodes. But -- again IMO -- all of this was preface. It was all leading up to a scene featuring the actress who had not been present so far in the season, delivering a speech that both Aaron Sorkin (as the writer) and her (as the actress delivering it) will be remembered for long after those who rag on The Newsroom are dead and forgotten. The owner of the fictional News network gets called out of a charity benefit she's dressed to the nines and paid a thousand bucks to attend because she wanted to meet Daniel Craig, who was a no-show. She's not in the best of moods, because she really *wanted* to meet Daniel Craig. And to top that off, she's stoned. Then she gets called into a room and told that she has to accept the resignations of her three most key employees at the network. That's the setup. The punchline is that this woman is being played by Jane Fonda, one of the greatest actresses any of us have ever been privileged to see onscreen. My bet is that she'll be nominated for another Emmy (she already was, for her work in last season) for this five minutes of screen time. And my hope is that she wins. This was as masterful a piece of acting as I have ever seen in my life. She literally brought tears to my eyes. Those of you who like to rag on The Newsroom can carry on now, carrying on. Me, I'll carry on enjoying great TV wherever I find it, no matter how many others don't like it.

Maybe, but who could we count on to help the U.S. in Syria? I don't believe the US should intervene in Syria without the support of the other allied countries within the UN. If nothing is done, this will give Assad more confidence to do more atrocities against the rebel troops. So, if we help the Islamists depose the dictator, what have we got left to deal with? al Qaeda or the Hezbollah? That's the question. These are the tough questions that the UN and the allied countries will have to answer. IMO, neither one should be in Syria if Assad is gone. The government of a new Syria should govern its own people. Can we deal with an al Qaeda controlled Syria with a nuclear Iran backed by Russia and China? Al Qaeda should not be there period. They don't represent the people of Syria. They are an occupying force in this country and elsewhere. Go figure. And, what would the U.S. gain? Respect in the Arab Islamic world - not likely. It's the international law that's at stake. If Assad has broken the law by using chemical weapons, then he should be punished for it by the UN.

This guy has been pointing artillery at apartment buildings, and pulling the trigger, for months. What IS the difference? More an ugly waiting game to see which of the larger powers will claim Syria's resources, and trying to get the whole pie, if possible. When this thing started, I recall reading about Syria's strategic position in the Mid-East. --- In mailto:FairfieldLife%40yahoogroups.com, John mailto:jr_esq@... wrote: --- In mailto:FairfieldLife%40yahoogroups.com, Richard J.

It now depends on what the UN wants to do with Assad. If the UNwants him out, then you'll see the American troops in Syrian soil sooner than you may think. Maybe, but who could we count on to help the U.S. in Syria? I don't believe the US should intervene in Syria without the support of the other allied countries within the UN. If nothing is done, this will give Assad more confidence to do more atrocities against the rebel troops. So, if we help the Islamists depose the dictator,what have we got left to deal with? al Qaeda or the Hezbollah? That's the question. These are the tough questions that the UN and the allied countries will have to answer. IMO, neither one should be in Syria if Assad is gone. The government of a new Syria should govern its own people. Can we deal with an al Qaeda controlled Syriawith a nuclear Iran backed by Russia and China? Al Qaeda should not be there period. They don't represent the people of Syria. They are an occupying force in this country and elsewhere. Go figure. And, what would the U.S. gain? Respect in theArab Islamic world - not likely. It's the international law that's at stake. If Assad has broken the law by using chemical weapons, then he should be punished for it by the UN. So, what would be left of the Middle East - the Brotherhood, Hezbollah, and Hamas? The sovereign people of Syria should rule their own land. They should not be governed by any of these organizations.

But eventually it was kind of full circle, I ended up reading about things that initially propelled me on the journey, and found answers to questions I could not find easily within the TM org and TM teachers. What propelled the restoration of interest in all this was a sudden unexpected shift in experience. Everything I had thought had failed, proved in retrospect to have been useful, but to have had more specific information at specific times in my life would possibly have made the process more efficient. I'm not convinced that would be true. Information that told you what an experience meant would have been just one more bit of misinformation, after all. The experience was what it was -- nothing more, and nothing less. I was thinking along the lines of not what a description of an experience means but how a description helps one navigate an experience. Obviously, if I have the thought that things might have been 'better' if I had had more useful information at the time, this thought is not going to apply to me now, but it might be useful to someone else later on, so they do not get quite so stuck. Not so much what this means, but what do I do, if anything, when such and such happens, and I do not understand what is happening? Certain traditional hand-me-downs do become useful, such as what a screw is, and what a screwdriver is, and how to use them in what circumstance, and how these items relate to sticking things together. After what I would call a very clear but subdued awakening experience some years ago, things were pretty nice for several years. There was something about this particular experience, unlike others I had had long ago, that I could not grasp in any way. Even the attempt to talk about it stymied me. Then all hell broke loose. A vast amount of repressed material rose up and flowed out of me. A total surprise. So clearly the awakening was not a clean slate. It was ultra intense, say twenty times more intense than anything I had experienced up to then. And the experience was truly unusual because while my regular life flowed along, there was this other stuff that I knew was not real, but it felt so real it was impossible to not act on it. It was like my mind was split in two with two parallel lives running simultaneously, one the present and the other thoughts, feelings, behaviours from long ago. I had no clue what was happening. If I had asked a TM teacher what was happening they probably would have said I was 'just unstressing, that I should take it easy and maybe get my meditation checked or something'. No really useful information or guidelines that apply directly. Extreme experiences like this seem to be swept under the rug by TM teachers, anything not in the template. I suspect they do not really have any training to handle them. I found a solution in what I was reading. It seems that after a clear awakening, one's ability to keep repressed material repressed simply falls apart. The can of worms is open, and if something triggers the experience, you cannot close it, and the experience really does seem like you are coming apart at the seams. All you can do is endure it. Nothing helps. It is as if finally there is enough room in your world to experience this. The intellectual knowledge that this is common, that others experienced it, and that it is super intense, and that you have to go through it because there is no way to back out, is really useful. Kind of like the emotional equivalent of childbirth as far as pain. That information, along with the stability conferred by awakening allowed me to get through it, just barely. Without that information I would have been a lot more confused, and perhaps would have done things even more stupid than had occurred to me to attempt at the time. Half of my time during this was acting on a mental delusion caused by the release. Finally it subsided after a few years. It was a strangely miserable/wonderful several years. After that my sense of stability was much, much greater, and the character of the experience that I had had before this happened was much clearer. Maybe it will happen again. I simply do not know. The result now I would not call bliss, but a sense of profound evenness that has been stable for some time. I have no illusions that this evenness will never be disrupted again. But it has been pretty nice. An example of evenness occurred a couple of days ago. I was preparing breakfast. I had put a small amount of oil in a frying pan. Then while it heated up, I sat down at the table and started to read the following comic (courtesy of Randall Monroe at xkcd.com): [xkcd comic: Questions] I found this comic hilarious, but because it was so dense, I just kept reading. After an interval, the smoke detector in the home began to screech.
