 You certainly got your exercise today. Good wife, found you and brought you

No they are not, and yes some of them are indeed pissed off. So pissed off in 
fact that gunshots has been fired at visitors to Crop Circles.
 As you know the brits aren't amongst the sharpest in the drawer and it took 
almost 20 years for the brightest of these fellows to figure out that they 
could 1) Charge money from visitors to be able to enter the fields, and 2) 
Harvest the crop inside the formation and sell it for a much higher price than 
ordinary crop. 
 

 Even today there are farmers who destroy the crop the very same day the 
Circles are discovered. That's why there are quite a few formations of which we 
only have aerial shots. There is but scarse logic to this behavior, but please 
bear in mind that these specimen are British.

[FairfieldLife] TM Is An Effortless Practice

2014-03-30 Thread nablusoss1008

 We all know that the Turq-fellow brings this up with regular intervals, 
usually a couple of times every year. Perhaps it makes him feel useful to his 
Buddhist lords.  Probably in his misguided intellect he thinks he has found a 
wedge against TM since everyone knows his Buddhist meditations require effort, 
and since he is not practicing TM himself he does not know that it is automatic 
and therefore effortless. Thinking a thought, any thought, does not involve 
doing. If anyone questions this all they need to do is having a checking. 
 But if they have stopped TM decades ago it would be better to find another 
field in which to try to create controversy. I suppose there is so little 
purpose left in the life of this poor soul Turq that it's the only field left 
where he feels useful.

 For me, the whole issue of whether TM is effortless comes down to how its

 This analysis has a major error: if you have already become aware that you are 
not thinking the mantra, you don't have to make any decisions about what to 
think about, because you are already think it - you don't have to stop and then 
make a choice.
 
 
 If they answer "Yes" to that question, then TM is not effortless, because that 
is its literal instruction: "When you become aware that you are not thinking 
the mantra, come back to it."
 
 
 If that process requires effort, then TM is not effortless.

 So, let's nitpick: How much effort, exactly, does it take to think a mantra? 
On a scale of one to ten, with totally effortless being one, I'd say the basic 
TM practice is a 1.1, with sixth level calculus being a ten.

There have been a bunch of them there in Fairfield, haven't there? My favorite 
TM business scam story to date is one that someone shared here right after I 
first began posting on FFL about the Movement asking for "investors" to create 
an ayurvedic clinic there in Fairfield and the investors would get their money 
back, plus profit sharing and discounts on products and services - and the 
minute the Movement had the money the immediately reneged on the deal, saying 
all the "investors" would be re-payed only with the discounts - no profits, no 
return of initial investments, nothing! My favorite!

 Fairfield and TM business leaders have formed Fairfield
 Venture Fund I,
 L.P., a venture fund to make investments in Fairfield
 companies and
 companies willing to move their businesses to
 Fairfield.  The Fund seeks
 to provide excellent returns to investors, capital for the
 growth of
 early-stage businesses in Fairfield, and an increase in jobs
 and wealth
 to help support the peace-promoting programs of Maharishi
 University of
 Management.  The fund is seeking a minimum of
 $2,000,000 and a maximum
 of $5,000,000 for such investments and is open for
 investment by
 "accredited investors."
 
 Kenneth Ross, President of the Global ID Group in Fairfield,
 which
  was
 recently purchased by a large private equity firm, is on the
 Board of
 Directors of the Fund and is one of its early
 organizers.  He said,
 "Over the years, many young business people have had to
 leave Fairfield
 because there either weren't jobs here or there
 wasn't investment
 capital available for their projects.  The exodus of
 young people from
 Fairfield and Iowa has resulted in the state
 'graying' and Fairfield is
 no different.  This Fund aims to remedy that situation
 in Fairfield and
 will invest in promising local companies."
 
 Ross points out that many companies starting in Fairfield
 like Cambridge
 Investment Research, Reading's Fun, Telegroup, Vital
 Images, and
 Copperfield Chimney have had great success, and the new fund
 aims to
 find and invest in companies with a similar growth
 potential.
 
 The directors of the Fund who will make the investment
 decisions and
 help mentor the new
  companies are:
 
 Kenneth Ross, CEO of Global ID Group.  Ken has a strong
 background in
 growing and selling businesses, including Global ID Group,
 and,
 previously, PackageNet, which was sold to Neopost S.A. of
 France, and
 Atrium Information Group, an enterprise-software company
 that Ross sold
 to Computer Associates, Inc.
 
 Robert Daniels grew Copperfield Chimney Supply and sold it
 to a venture
 capital group.  He is former Chairman of the Board of
 MSAE, and is a
 member emeritus of the Board of Trustees of Maharishi
 University of
 Management.
 
 Robert Greenfield is a successful businessman who graduated
 first in his
 Harvard MBA class of 700.  He has been CEO of a
 Maryland high
 technology company serving the environmental and
 medical-diagnostic
 industries, and is an active investor in angel and venture
 companies.
 
 Anil Maheshwari, Ph.D., is a former professor of management
 at
  City
 University of New York and is currently a professor of
 management at
 MUM.  He worked for IBM and managed the strategic
 alliance between IBM
 and Intel Corporation in cloud computing.  He has 20
 years' experience
 in high technology, marketing, and social media.
 
 Larry Chroman is a trustee of MUM and a member of the Board
 of Directors
 of Maharishi Ayurveda Products International.  For six
 years he was
 international president of USA Global Link, an
 international
 long-distance telecommunications carrier, and he was a
 co-founder and
 managing partner for 13 years of Surya Financial/Zimmerman
 Capital
 Group, an investment-management firm managing private family
 assets.
 
 David Averbach co-founded Mango Life Media in 2011 at the
 age of 25 and
 is its CEO.  The company publishes iPhone Life
 magazine, which is
 distributed at major U.S.  airports, Walmart, Barnes
 & Noble, and
 newsstands
  around the world.  David is also the founder of
 Fairfield's
 Young Entrepreneur's Association, which aims to support
 young business
 owners, making him aware of many of the businesses being
 started in
 Fairfield by young entrepreneurs.

The ground up GMO dust will be airborne, not to mention the level of noise 
created by it and the increased Truck and Train Traffic. It will have a 
railroad spur and be loading 1000 train cars a week, which would take thousands 
of semi-tractor trailers of grain into the facility.

The context of your posts were about the different methods of getting

because MMY might have made it up but a lot people suspect he got some 
suggestions on how to improve the teaching from other yogis.  That is

WEEKLY READER  Page 3    March 27-ApriI 2,2014

Fairfield and TM business leaders have formed Fairfield Venture Fund I,
L.P., a venture fund to make investments in Fairfield companies and
companies willing to move their businesses to Fairfield.  The Fund seeks
to provide excellent returns to investors, capital for the growth of
early-stage businesses in Fairfield, and an increase in jobs and wealth
to help support the peace-promoting programs of Maharishi University of
Management.  The fund is seeking a minimum of $2,000,000 and a maximum
of $5,000,000 for such investments and is open for investment by
"accredited investors."

Kenneth Ross, President of the Global ID Group in Fairfield, which was
recently purchased by a large private equity firm, is on the Board of
Directors of the Fund and is one of its early organizers.  He said,
"Over the years, many young business people have had to leave Fairfield
because there either weren't jobs here or there wasn't investment
capital available for their projects.  The exodus of young people from
Fairfield and Iowa has resulted in the state 'graying' and Fairfield is
no different.  This Fund aims to remedy that situation in Fairfield and
will invest in promising local companies."

Ross points out that many companies starting in Fairfield like Cambridge
Investment Research, Reading's Fun, Telegroup, Vital Images, and
Copperfield Chimney have had great success, and the new fund aims to
find and invest in companies with a similar growth potential.

The directors of the Fund who will make the investment decisions and
help mentor the new companies are:

Kenneth Ross, CEO of Global ID Group.  Ken has a strong background in
growing and selling businesses, including Global ID Group, and,
previously, PackageNet, which was sold to Neopost S.A. of France, and
Atrium Information Group, an enterprise-software company that Ross sold
to Computer Associates, Inc.

Robert Daniels grew Copperfield Chimney Supply and sold it to a venture
capital group.  He is former Chairman of the Board of MSAE, and is a
member emeritus of the Board of Trustees of Maharishi University of
Management.

Robert Greenfield is a successful businessman who graduated first in his
Harvard MBA class of 700.  He has been CEO of a Maryland high
technology company serving the environmental and medical-diagnostic
industries, and is an active investor in angel and venture companies.

Anil Maheshwari, Ph.D., is a former professor of management at City
University of New York and is currently a professor of management at
MUM.  He worked for IBM and managed the strategic alliance between IBM
and Intel Corporation in cloud computing.  He has 20 years' experience
in high technology, marketing, and social media.

Larry Chroman is a trustee of MUM and a member of the Board of Directors
of Maharishi Ayurveda Products International.  For six years he was
international president of USA Global Link, an international
long-distance telecommunications carrier, and he was a co-founder and
managing partner for 13 years of Surya Financial/Zimmerman Capital
Group, an investment-management firm managing private family assets.

David Averbach co-founded Mango Life Media in 2011 at the age of 25 and
is its CEO.  The company publishes iPhone Life magazine, which is
distributed at major U.S.  airports, Walmart, Barnes & Noble, and
newsstands around the world.  David is also the founder of Fairfield's
Young Entrepreneur's Association, which aims to support young business
owners, making him aware of many of the businesses being started in
Fairfield by young entrepreneurs.

"Initially, (in the early 1960?s) there were only two TM mantras, “Ram” 
for males, and “Shiriram” for females. There are now around 16 of them, 
as well as some “advanced” mantras, such as “shri shri aing namah 
namah.” These mantras invoke the names of Hindu deities."

This is incorrect: the first two TM bija mantras were Ram and Shyam in 
1955. Also, as I have pointed out numerous times, you only get one 
single bija mantra when you learn TM or advanced TM. Bija mantras by 
definition have no semantic meaning - the phrase "shri" and "namah" are 
Sanskrit words, not bija mantras.

The TM bija mantras are first enumerated in the Sri Chakra, the symbol 
of the Absolute in the Sri Vidya tradition and in the Trika of Kashmir 
Tantrism. Apparently the Hoda Chakra was composed in the 18th century. 
It has already been established that the origin of TM bija mantras is 
the Sri Vidya tradition of Shankara at Sringeri, of which SBS was an 
initiate.

The origin of the TM Bija mantras (seed sounds) are to be found in the 
so called “Hoda Chakra” which is printed and reprinted in virtually 
all the published astrological almanachs in India. The Hoda Chakra 
lists 108 seed sounds, each one allotted to the 4 padas of the 27 star 
constellations (Nakshatras).All this is well known in India. Mostly it 
is used in the selection of Names,based on the Moon’s position in a 
particular Nakshatra Pada. In an advanced version of the TM, this 
astrological information (position of the Moon at birth) is used also 
for selecting the seed sounds.Actually, what is known and practiced as 
the TM is part of the a large and complex system. Perhaps less than 1% 
of this has filtered through the contemporary TM movement.

The origin of the TM Bija mantras (seed sounds) are to be found in the so 
called “Hoda Chakra” which is printed and reprinted in virtually all the 
published astrological almanachs in India. The Hoda Chakra lists 108 seed 
sounds, each one allotted to the 4 padas of the 27 star constellations 
(Nakshatras).All this is well known in India. Mostly it is used in the 
selection of Names,based on the Moon’s position in a particular Nakshatra Pada. 
In an advanced version of the TM, this astrological information (position of 
the Moon at birth) is used also for selecting the seed sounds.Actually, what is 
known and practiced as the TM is part of the a large and complex system. 
Perhaps less than 1% of this has filtered through the contemporary TM movement.

Gardening When It Counts: Growing Food in Hard Times

"Designed for readers with no experience and applicable to most areas in
the English-speaking world except the tropics and hot deserts, this book
shows that any family with access to 3-5,000 sq. ft. of garden land can
halve their food costs using a growing system requiring just the odd
bucketful of household waste water, perhaps two hundred dollars worth of
hand tools, and about the same amount spent on supplies -- working an
average of two hours a day during the growing season."

How would you determine if they really are having the Bliss Consciousness  
24/7? And anyway most of 'em don't claim to be enlightened, they are "awakened" 
- Eckhart Tolle started that. Post Eckhart LOTS of people found a convenient 
was to explain how they don't measure up to a hard an fast and clearly 
delineated definition of "enlightenment" - so they can claim "awakenment" and 
do just about as they please as long as they use all the catchphrases and 
buzzwords of the Oneness is everything crowd. You can tell I am somewhat 
skeptical. But how WOULD you determine if they were in ABC all the time?

   Most of his so-called 'enlightened ones',
 ARE NOT! enlightened at all!, Rick needs to be more
 critical in his analysis of their 'experience' of
