This weekend I read an article that in NYC they are building these tall spires 
that overlook Central Park  -from a distance.  Probably 80 story structures and 
very thin.  I guess it's starting to look like one of those metropolis' out of 
Star Wars.
 

 I remember being in NYC this summer, and it being very hot.  That is, if you 
happened to be out where the sun was actually shining on you.  And there didn't 
seem to be many places where that was happening.

[FairfieldLife] Deploying Meditators for Peace

2014-01-30 Thread dhamiltony2k5
Just wondering, where else did groups go to meditate in coherence campaigning 
for peace? 
 (Iran, Rhodesia, Nicaragua) Philippines? Lebanon? Belgrade? Thailand? Around 
Soviet Russia.  Nepal . . What dates? What other places did TM movement 
meditators with bags packed go off to on these campaigns? For a period of time 
movement meditators would have their bags packed and go; small and large teams 
of meditators deployed to go meditate. I am curious where and how long the list 
of places is, and when.   Just wondering for context of history.  
 Please reply if you shipped out on one of these or know as to where they went. 
Time frame of date too. Any clandestine ones?

technique could neutralize the stress being built up in the world

   You see, at the centre of all religions is the
 idea of
   Karma. You know, what you put out comes back
 to you; an
   eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, or in
 physics – in

 upend all
   that “As you reap, so will you sow” stuff.
 Grace defies
   reason and logic. Love interrupts, if you
 like, the
   consequences of your actions, which in my case
 is very
   good news indeed, because I’ve done a lot of
 stupid stuff.
 
   
 
   That’s between me and God. But I’d be in
 big trouble if
   Karma was going to finally be my judge. I’d
 be in deep
   shit. It doesn’t excuse my mistakes, but
 I’m holding out
   for Grace. I’m holding out that Jesus took
 my sins onto
   the Cross because I know who I am, and I hope
 I don’t have
   to depend on my own religiosity.
 
   
 
   The point of the death of Christ is that
 Christ took on
   the sins of the world so that what we put out
 did not come
   back to us, and that our sinful nature does
 not reap the
   obvious death. That’s the point. It should
 keep us
   humbled….it's not our own good works
 that get through the

[FairfieldLife] Science discovers the conscience....

2014-01-30 Thread salyavin808
"For centuries we thought that the conscience was just some faculty of moral 
insight in the human mind, an innate sense that one was behaving well or badly 
- although the great HL Mencken once defined it as, "the inner voice which  
warns us that someone may be looking". It's been used by religions as a 
numinous something-or-other, kindly bestowed by God, to give humans a choice 
between sin and Paradise. Now, thanks to neuroscience, we've found the actual, 
physical thing itself. It's a shame that it resembles a Brussels sprout: 
something so important and God-given should look more imposing, like a 
pineapple. But then it wouldn't fit in our heads."

[FairfieldLife] The Q Test

2014-01-30 Thread TurquoiseB
This five-second test claims to be able to tell whether you are a good
liar or not. I think this claim seriously misses the point, but that it
is an interesting test anyway, and it only takes a minute to watch the
whole thing and five seconds to test yourself.

http://digg.com/video/this-5-second-test-can-tell-you-if-your-friends-ar\
e-good-liars


Why I think the test is "off" is that the narrator claims that those who
are concerned with how others see them are "extroverts and good liars,"
whereas those who are more concerned with how they themselves would
perceive the test drawing are "introverts and bad liars."

Bzt. This does not compute. First, both psychology and my own
experience with them suggests to me that those who are more narcissistic
and think primarily in terms of how things appear to *them*, not other
people, are some of the biggest -- and most successful -- liars in the
world. Also, those who complete the test drawing so that others can see
it might *not* be thinking about how these others perceive *them* --
they might be displaying empathy and compassion, and thus trying to do
these others a service. Thus they might not be lying to them at all.

Anyway, it's a fun test. I was a "leftie."

Ann and Richard, this reminds of the snake and string story. If someone 
mistakes a string for a snake in front of them and gets all scared, releasing 
damaging chemicals into their bloodstream, that's not ideal imo. Someone else 
comes along and tells them that it's only a string and picks it up to 
demonstrate. Then the scared person can return to a healthy homeostatis. So in 
this context, imo, real and unreal are important.

[FairfieldLife] On Vastu Ved

2014-01-30 Thread Michael Jackson
What the Vastu Shastries of today do not reveal (and many may not themselves 
know) is that the ancient science dating back many centuries had many versions. 
 In essence there were many Vastushastra because there were many authors, e.g. 
Varahamihira, Bhrigu, Manusara, Mayamata.  Each had his own treatise, his own 
interpretations and had taken into consideration his own regions location, 
climate , social norms, materials of his time and his ethnicity.  Caves, huts 
and houses were built in those days, using various materials available then and 
so a lot of what they wrote made perfect sense.  If cross ventilation had to be 
achieved, doors and windows would have to be constructed in certain direction.  
Cross ventilation can however, be created artificially now a days and if air 
conditioning is resorted to, it is a non-issue.

Nablusoss,
I find them one and the same thing.  That is my experience
 with TM
as I sit meditating using everything that Maharishi gave me
 and then
come out.  All of TM as you get good at it is a
 transmission
meditation broadcasting the Unified Field in the human
 system.  
OMG, the clear radio broadcasting Unified Field!   
 


 

But
my feeling now is that The Miaytreya, the World-Teacher,
 has passed
over Patel to John Hagelin and Tony Nader.  In fact, I
 certainly
feel the appearance of Miaytreya World Leader is present in
 the
lives of John Hagelin and Tony Nader. This makes entire
 sense
watching the arc of their both coming in to Being.  I find
 the
prophecy is fulfilled and present.  Tell Benjamin Creme
 now. 
Obviously the modern incarnation of the spiritual world
 leader in
the human form are John Hagelin and Tony Nader as
 scientists, a
Doctor, a Physicist, Spiritual teachers and householders
 manifest
now here in the world leading a powerful spiritual
 regeneration
movement that is science as is all of TM in the modern
 world.  It
makes entire sense.  Forget Patel, it is Hagelin and Nader
 as the
Miaytreya.  

!Jai

 Buck. In reality Transcendental Meditation as taught by His
 Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and Transmission meditation
 as taught by Mr. Benjamin Crème and his Master are two
 different approaches. Transmission meditation
 is" a group service activity which
 'steps   down' the great spiritual energies that
 continually   stream into our planet. During
 transmission, the   Masters of Wisdom direct these
 energies from the   spiritual planes through the energy
 centers (chakras)   of the group members in a highly
 scientific 
manner."http://www.share-international.org/background/xmission/tm_main.htm
 Whereas Transcendental Meditation is
 a personal form of meditation where the individual connects
 with the universal self. In Transmission meditation
 it seems like the other way around, an approach in
 co-operation with the Masters of Wisdom as a service for
 mankind.I've never tried it myself but I
 don't see why they could not work parallel in the life
 of a student. And as you probably know, Mr. Benjamin Crème
 speaks very highly of Maharishi and the
 TM-technique.Mr. Crème also pointed out
 that Guru Dev is one of the highest Initiates that have ever
 lived on this planet with a point of evolution of 6,0,
 second only by Maitreya Himself.

 Very very interesting. Thus far we have so much open land in Iowa we have not

the landscape, often on “the flatter the ground the better for building on” 
even though that soil is often some of the best ground to plant in farming. But 
that is a corporate decision. Yet given the cost of farm ground now  I can see 
a future in concentrated animal feeding operations within these building 
designs that could save ground for farming. That is a whole another dimension 
of production efficiency. -Buck, a farmer outstanding in his field.

If we observe the realist closely, we will find that at some times he
relies principally on his eyes and, at other times, on his ears. When
different senses corroborate an error, we are still more baffled. The
realist is unaware that he has no criterion of the reality or unreality of
objects experienced. He has faith in the reality of movie action while it
lasts, otherwise he could not really enjoy it. He has faith in his own
action, otherwise how could he really enjoy life. But how reliable is such
faith?

Looking at these stacked apartments in Hong Hong and seeing that they seem to 
"work", yet in the US these stacked apartments, usually located in the inner 
city have almost always been failures and end up being torn down. 

 In the US often this type of housing is often subsidized,rental.  Maybe in

 And yet, there are also stacked rental units in the US that also work.  Is
