Re: [FairfieldLife] A thought -- freely willed -- about determinism
My thanks to both Judy and Ann for responding on cue to my one-liner, and thus proving that *they* live in a deterministic universe of their own making. :-) That was the point of my post, after all. I just thought up the line, considered it funny, and posted it intentionally using the word determinist because I knew that Judy would feel she had to respond to it by ragging on me. And she did. Because *she* lives inside an eternal deterministic cycle in which any time that Barry says something that challenges or disagrees with something she believes in, she has to lash out and get him, at least in her mind. Ann lives in exactly the same odd universe, so of course she piled on. Meanwhile, those of us with free will and more control can read things that the determinist robots on this forum have to post and decide *not* to respond. Often we can decide not to bother to read them at all. We can laugh at them instead.

A few people, who obviously have their minds determined by their knee-jerk reactions to anything that challenges their attachments, felt that they had to respond by attacking me personally. Others, like Share and (I suspect) Rick, just tripped on the new, alternative way of looking at these phenomena, and enjoyed the articles. And therein lies the difference. Some people DON'T feel that they have to be reactive and use any excuse possible to trigger one of their long-standing grudges so that they can get the person who said something in a new way or something that disagrees with what they believe. Others -- Judy, Ann, Nabby, and Willytex -- clearly feel differently. Their patterns suggest that they honestly feel that they have to somehow try to get the person whose writing has pushed their buttons. THEY live in a determinist world.

The two perspectives converge if you go far enough back in time and leave out quantum mechanics.

Moving through space: By Samyama on the relationship between the body and space (akasha) and by concentrating on the lightness of cotton, passage through space can be attained. While sutra 3.40 described levitation, this sutra describes moving through space. Note the quality of opposites: A universal principle is relatively easy to see in this sutra. The samyama is on the relationship between the body and space. This results in the body having a lightness that is likened to cotton. The samyama allows a releasing or a cessation of the process of heaviness or earth element. Then, the natural lightness is experienced. It is not that a new quality of lightness is being attained or added on. Rather, it is a ceasing to be connected with the quality of earth or heaviness of body.

Re: [FairfieldLife] A thought -- freely willed -- about determinism
If I may summarize: You feel that your ability to enrage and insult others, and for them to respond in kind, is a hallmark of your ultimate freedom as a human being, your ability to exert your Free Will, to demonstrate your 'control'. Actually, it is a fantasy -- All you are, in the eyes of others, is an unpleasant, and needlessly provocative soul, and if that is what gets you off, you have truly reached the bottom of your barrel. You attempt to make a distinction, between those who fall for your crap, and those who don't, while being well aware, Barry, that you cherry-pick who to insult, and how much, on here. You have never had anything but roses waiting for Curtis, and a few others. I doubt very much if you referred to your good and close friend, Curtis, with some of the language you fling at others, he would not tolerate you for long. We watch you spin your hamster wheel, ecstatic over your 'free will', and your meanness - your ability to both take out your spiritual frustrations on others, and your inability to recognize such a deep flaw within yourself.

Obsessing about TM is Just Another Obsession and doesn't interfere with the practice any more than any other obsession -it's all just thinking, afterall, and if you can obsess, er, think, you can meditate. L It reflect the recent study by Radomsky which shows that it's not the unwanted, intrusive thoughts that are the problem -- it's what you make of those thoughts People with OCD and related problems are very much like everyone else.Almost everyone has these kinds of thoughts.

( Some of the more interesting differences that emerged were associated with the fact that some languages/cultures do not have a simple term or expression for ‘intrusive’: the IITIS questionnaire has to be translated in nine languages English, Cantonese, French,Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Persian, Spanish, and Turkish.) Also, the survey questions may not have turned up an accurate number of intrusive thoughts among the participants and the study only looks at college students, not older or younger people, it still provides the first empirical evidence that obsessions might have their origins in the normal thought processes that characterize the stream of consciousness. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2211364914000177 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2211364914000177 here some more at the journal site http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-obsessive-compulsive-and-related-disorders/recent-articles/ http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-obsessive-compulsive-and-related-disorders/recent-articles/ If you are interested can send you a additional special issue on a global perspective on unwanted intrusive thoughts with a commentary by Professor Jack Rachman who situate the current findings within the historical context of intrusions and cognitive-behavioral approaches to OCD. Professor Rachman can be considered the “founder of intrusive thoughts”, at least in reference to OCD. A sample quote: Not all uninvited thoughts are unacceptable. Some are pleasant,some amusing, and some can be creative. For example Mozart and Beethoven described how some of their musical thoughts “intruded”. Mozart's often arrived fully formed, and Beethoven had many that “pounded into his head.” Reviewing was easy since the study acknowledges several caveats that could affect the reliability of its findings and the remaining caveats was covered by Professor Jack Rachman`s commentary.

I just thought up the line, considered it funny, and posted it intentionally using the word determinist because I knew that Judy would feel she had to respond to it by ragging on me. And she did. Because *she* lives inside an eternal deterministic cycle in which any time that Barry says something that challenges or disagrees with something she believes in, she has to lash out and get him, at least in her mind. Ann lives in exactly the same odd universe, so of course she piled on. Apparently Judy was responding to the other Barry, not Baw so you can scratch that theory off the list. Meanwhile, those of us with free will and more control can read things that the determinist robots on this forum have to post and decide *not* to respond. Often we can decide not to bother to read them at all. We can laugh at them instead. We have a luxury they do not. :-) Bawee, there is no we here. You and you alone here exist in a universe of your own making complete with fun house mirrors that make the ugly guy look more beautiful than he is (in his own eyes). IMO this latest display of determinist-driven thinking all started yesterday when I posted a couple of science articles that were not in the *least* challenging to most people. They just presented a different point of view on phenomena that some people are attached to and consider spiritual -- visions of God and lucid dreaming. A few people, who obviously have their minds determined by their knee-jerk reactions to anything that challenges their attachments, felt that they had to respond by attacking me personally. Others, like Share and (I suspect) Rick, just tripped on the new, alternative way of looking at these phenomena, and enjoyed the articles. Trip away, stumble around all you want. This is nothing new. In fact, not one hackneyed sentence you have written above reveals anything fresh or interesting about you or anything else. What you consistently fail to realize is that you challenge no one with your articles or your thoughts. What you do, however, is remind me of someone I will try my damnedest to never emulate. And therein lies the difference. Some people DON'T feel that they have to be reactive and use any excuse possible to trigger one of their long-standing grudges so that they can get the person who said something in a new way or something that disagrees with what they believe. Others -- Judy, Ann, Nabby, and Willytex -- clearly feel differently. Their patterns suggest that they honestly feel that they have to somehow try to get the person whose writing has pushed their buttons. THEY live in a determinist world. I have no buttons Bawee. They don't exist. What exists is an innate dislike of ignorance and gratuitous mean-spirited people. You are both of those things.

My comments are in red letters below: ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, LEnglish5@... wrote : You're assuming that transcending means letting go of a specific kind of thought, rather than thoughts i general. Transcending refers to letting go of any thoughts. But ultimately the thought of God's existence, for atheists, non-theists and agnostics, will come into mind while in meditation or outside of meditation. If they cannot transcend the thought that there is no God, then they cannot let go of their individual self to merge with the cosmic Self. Thoughts are transcended during TM not because we hold onto specific thoughts during TM, but because we have been taught that it isn't necessary to attempt to control the mind during TM practice so we stop trying to control what happens next. Correct. I agree with this. Given the correct circumstances, aka starting TM, the mind will automatically start to settle down. I agree. That is all transcending means. Now, it is possible that the nervous system will settle down to the point where there are abrupt and obvious changes in breathing and heart rate and alpha-1 EEG coherence which researchers believe are due to an abrupt change in activity in certain parts of the thalamus, but that has nothing to do with belief, but only with specific conditions in the thalamus triggered, at times, by TM-practice. I agree. I've made a longer comment to Xeno about the difference between the individual self and the cosmic or universal Self. I saw your comments to that reply. I'll address those comments next. And the thalamus doesn't think or have beliefs, according to any theory I have heard. It is an important data switching center and helps regulate states of consciousness, breathing, etc., but doesn't do much data-processing in any way that would be related to belief. Belief and not-belief are influences on TM only so much as they interfere with allowing the practice to go on its own. I agree. But the individual self, sooner or later, should merge with the cosmic Self. When this is done, then cosmic consciousness can be attained. According to the TM practice, this could happen automatically. But it appears to me that the atheists, who are TMers, are consciously resisting this natural process to progress. So, it may take them longer to attain cosmic consciousness, or maybe they don't really care to achieve this state of consciousness. Far more detrimental to TM is the internet habit of seeking out the online version of the Teacher Training notes available online and mentally correlating that with what you are taught, as you are taught. This likely sets up extraneous connections in parts of the brain that wouldn't exist in people who learned TM without having first read the TT notes, and likely disrupts the activity that effortlessly thinking the mantra brings to bear in a localized way simply because there's so little prior intellectual connections established to bring more distant centers of the brain into play when meditation activity happens. I never stated anything related to Teacher Training notes. So, I can't address this point. Innocence of practice may well have a genuine physical significance. On the other hand, one could also argue that obsessively worrying about when one will encounter God during TM is far more detrimental to the practice of TM than not worrying about God in the first place. I agree. I would say that a non-believer, all other things being equal, is more likely to transcend than a Believer. It all depends on the individual's personality and physiology. But, in the final analysis, the individual self would have to be transcended to merge with the cosmic Self. If the atheist, who is a meditator, consciously resists this natural process by thoughts and actions, then he or she cannot cannot attain cosmic consciosness IMO.

[FairfieldLife] Tyrion Lannister's Emmy Reel
Just a note for those who may be following Game Of Thrones on HBO, or wherever you get it. Mild spoilers for those who haven't seen it yet, but I just had to rap about how magnificent Peter Dinklage was in the latest episode, The Laws of Gods and Men. As some critics have already noted, this episode is pretty much a shoe-in to be the one that Mr. Dinklage will submit as his Emmy nomination reel when time comes to do so. I hope it will win him an Emmy to go with the Golden Globe award he won in 2012. In the time since, he has risen from Supporting Role to top billed on the series, and with good reason. While Cersei Lannister may be the most hated character (although I personally lean more towards Ramsay Snow in that regard), Tyrion is by far the most loved. He has the most star power, and reputedly has the one of the biggest groupie statuses as well, in a series known for its incredibly handsome hunks. And he's a dwarf. That's a big thing to transcend, both in the plot of this epic work, and in real life. In this episode, standing in the dock on trial for his life, we watch Tyrion deal with a series of disappointments and betrayals that would sink a man twice his size and reduce him to helpless depression and surrender. Instead, he rises to the occasion, and to the full measure of his 4'5 (1.35 m) stature and delivers one of the great courtroom speeches ever delivered onscreen. In it, as Tyrion rails about what it's felt like to be on trial for being a dwarf his whole life, and the occasional anger he feels about this, we can *feel* Peter Dinklage's similar railing, and anger. But Dinklage transcended that trial and that anger, and now is near the top of the acting hierarchy. Good for him. And hopefully good for Tyrion in the coming episodes, too. I haven't read the books, so what happens to him is still a mystery to me. I look forward to it being resolved, but hopefully not before a few more speeches like this one.

Re: [FairfieldLife] A thought -- freely willed -- about determinism
Couple comments below... That was the point of my post, after all. I just thought up the line, considered it funny, and posted it intentionally using the word determinist because I knew that Judy would feel she had to respond to it by ragging on me. And she did. Because *she* lives inside an eternal deterministic cycle in which any time that Barry says something that challenges or disagrees with something she believes in, she has to lash out and get him, at least in her mind. Ann lives in exactly the same odd universe, so of course she piled on. Apparently Judy was responding to the other Barry, not Baw so you can scratch that theory off the list. I think he's referring here to an earlier post of mine responding to his one-liner, in which all I did was repeat exactly what he said but changed determinist to free will. Amazing that he didn't anticipate how easily that lame remark could be turned against him. (Not to mention that my version is more appropriate, given that determinists do imagine the world they see around them in a different way from the free will they actually experience, but free will advocates can't imagine anything but what they experience.) (more snip) I think what's really got him going (aside from the humiliation of his extraordinarily stupid comments about Nabby's and my Bible discussion) is that I didn't comment at all on the two articles he posted, except for asking about lucid dreaming being mystical or spiritual, which I'd never heard before. He was expecting a big reaction from me but didn't get one, and that always makes him furious. You no more ignore Judy and I than we ignore you. I don't take you seriously and I certainly don't respect you but I don't ignore you. Obviously I don't seek your response when I make comments about the drivel you write here. You don't engage in conversations you simply sermonize. You talk at people not to them and you run from real engagement by simply hurling insults the moment anyone actually tries to converse with you. In this way, and in many others, you are a fuck up and a failure and you run scared. Dittoes. Also amazing that he thinks folks still believe this crap, if they ever did. (snip) Have you ever considered the possibility that those who believe in a determinist universe are just too dull to imagine the world they see around them any other way? :-)

[FairfieldLife] Angels Fly
As my seven-year anniversary of being on the IA course nears, I felt compelled to give an overview of my experiences in hopes that it may be of value. Using every trick in the book; every tool in the box, to squeeze every bit of evolutionary potential out of every moment, has yielded a rich harvest of varied and profound experiences. But, I needed to pierce the veil of chhandas and achieve escape velocity, beyond the cloudy atmosphere of collective consciousness, to reach the real, true, genuine and consistent experiences, that could not be denied by the most jaded of intellects, nor could have they been contrived out of some unconscious desire for self-aggrandizement. So, rather than provide a long litany of flashy ephemeral displays of pyrotechnics and eye-candy, I will attempt, given the limitations of language, to comprehensively, yet concisely convey those bench-marks and watershed moments, when a new, more expanded and stable state of being, was achieved. Now, please bear in mind, these occurred over time. But, if I had to describe their overall pattern of development, I would say that I would be going along, day to day, thinking maybe that nothing was happening, but steadily putting my time in. Then there would be a gathering of momentum, an increase in tempo and variety, to crescendo at an event horizon, a transcendental quantum leap, then I would find myself waking up in the realization of a new state of being and style of functioning. This process repeated itself, again and again, over time. A key component discovered, which significantly changed the whole nature and color of my experiences, having grown up in a society where fatigue is considered a caffeine deficiency, and that is, my friends, rest is king. Silence penetrated, then inundated, until it permeated every particle and fiber of my being; bubbling, percolating and roaring with the deafening impact of a great waterfall disappearing into a calm, clear pool of peace that passes all understanding. Then, over time, within this peace, blossomed a restfully alert state of poise, where I spontaneously found myself, assuming the royal pace of an elephant, while pouncing like a tiger in all directions: I am still as a mountain; flowing like a great river. Then again, over time, within this state of poise, blossomed a power, which passed into my experience without effort or labor. And, I found things steadily coming my way, and coming my way without that awful effort that destroys the peace of mind of the majority of mankind. And, I feel such deep ease, enfolded in the arms of infinite divine love, taking care of me. I experience myself as the center and circumference; the point and the whole. The sutras weaving point-to-whole, and whole-to-point, into an exquisite tapestry of vibrant awareness. The sutras are multi-faceted gems, each of unique character and hue, dropping into the ocean of my being, reverberating out to whole and back again. The returning waves crossing the outgoing waves forming vertices, that become planes of primordial geometry. I do not experience this geometry as static, but as a stable harmonic resonance of divine musical vibration. Yet this geometry also contains a dynamic flowing quality, with a funnel style hole, that goes completely through a sphere that continually flows in, around and on itself. This archetypal geometry, with its dynamic flow, clusters and generates the plethora of forms and phenomena found manifest everywhere in my experience. And, I really have to thank Maharishi for giving me a backstage pass to the universe: a golden ticket to the symphony of creation behind Vishwakarman's magic show. A shift took place in my awareness from experiencing consciousness existing within and a function of my physiology, to my body existing within and as my consciousness; as an individualized, ever changing state of wholeness, moving within my Self. And I found myself able to experientially discriminate the successive states of my own material manifestation: I can see, feel, hear, taste etc air, fire, water, earth and even the mineral densities of self. But, even at the greatest depth of density I experience the gold of universal soul; I see the brilliance of indwelling light; I feel the fire of boundless divine love. Yet, this light does not blind, and this fire does not burn, but continually fills me with ever expanding delight. And while I am able to discriminate these individual stages, it remains one stream of awareness; one infinite reverberation. Then, over time, I found myself able to do the same with other individualized aspects of Self, be it person, place or thing. In terms of right action, I went from needing a long logical reasoning process, which only yielded about 50% results, essentially the probability of a coin toss, to the next stage where I was able to apprehend right action, but

Re: [FairfieldLife] A thought -- freely willed -- about determinism
I tend not to agree with Barry about free will, but then this is a subject whose resolution seems impossible to determine. One of my early spiritual experiences was about free will and determinism. My interpretation of that experience was that they were equivalent, like the faces on the same coin, differing views of the same process. I had been having experiences like this for about two years. I had also just learned TM a few weeks before, and it did not seem to be the trigger for such experiences, though it may have greased the wheels a bit. Experiences like this come when the mind is fully engaged with the world. One of the first spiritual techniques I encountered were insults. Now normally insults do not result in spiritual awakening or even understanding, but in a proper context they can. I do not think FFL, even though it nominally is about spirituality, is a useful context. Insults in a useful context however can highlight conditioned responses. Whether or not there is such a thing as free will, the human sense of freedom depends on how many output options we have available for a given input. With some people, if you say to them, 'you are a fucking goddamn ass hole, and your mother slept with a dog' your best option is probably to run for your life. So I was sitting with this group, doing guided meditations etc., before I learned Zen meditation, and before other techniques and before I learned TM, and the instructor started hurling insults. Some people got really upset, would stand up and say they felt really insulted and that they deserved some respect. They did not get any. But later on it became evident that this was a technique to highlight one's conditioned responses to verbal input. It was the context of this particular event that made the insults a piece of valuable information and experience, because what followed them provided the insight into what was really happening in our minds. The following historical story highlights a use of the technique: The Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty was a national hero for his success as both a statesman and military leader. But despite his fame, power, and wealth, he considered himself a humble and devout Buddhist. Often he visited his favourite Zen master to study under him, and they seemed to get along very well. The fact that he was prime minister apparently had no effect on their relationship, which seemed to be simply one of a revered master and respectful student. One day, during his usual visit, the Prime Minister asked the master, Your Reverence, what is egotism according to Buddhism? The master's face turned red, and in a very condescending and insulting tone of voice, he shot back, What kind of stupid question is that!? This unexpected response so shocked the Prime Minister that he became sullen and angry. The Zen master then smiled and said, THIS, Your Excellency, is egotism. Take a thermostat. It has basically one or two outputs to input. The temperature goes down, it closes a circuit and starts a heater; when the temperature rises, it opens the circuit and the heater stops. A slightly more complex system adds cooling: if the room gets too warm, it starts air conditioning as well. Some people do have about this many options to respond to input, even though the neural networks in the brain are far far more complex than a thermostat. Part of spiritual discipline is dealing consciously with one's conditioning that limits responses. Now in TM philosophy, the processes of de-conditioning, and the understanding of conditioning do not seem so overtly expressed as in some other traditions. In Zen, koans deal with various facets of the mind's conditioning by forcing an experience that goes beyond bipolar logic. On FFL, most responses to certain kinds of verbal input, what appears to be an insult, is simply to respond with another insult. Thus you have elevated your consciousness to the status of a simple thermostat. So part of the game of 'becoming free' is to widen options of response to inputs. We have lots of conditioned responses, some of them hard wired (the knee jerk reflex for example), but quite a lot are programmed into us by our parents and culture. Look at any government where there are parliaments with two more or less equal parties with opposing views, and you can predict responses of the two sides fairly accurately. Spiritual practises like meditation help to loosen the mind's grip in this respect, but some form of conscious highlighting the fact we have such conditioned responses really needs to be in operation. It is difficult to be really aware of how mechanical we are until 'Brahman consciousness' begins to settle in. It is only then that the mind becomes aware of how much its interpretation of the world of experience (that is, all of it) is simply a

Mild spoilers for those who haven't seen it yet, but I just had to rap about how magnificent Peter Dinklage was in the latest episode, The Laws of Gods and Men. As some critics have already noted, this episode is pretty much a shoe-in to be the one that Mr. Dinklage will submit as his Emmy nomination reel when time comes to do so. I hope it will win him an Emmy to go with the Golden Globe award he won in 2012. In the time since, he has risen from Supporting Role to top billed on the series, and with good reason. While Cersei Lannister may be the most hated character (although I personally lean more towards Ramsay Snow in that regard), Tyrion is by far the most loved. He has the most star power, and reputedly has the one of the biggest groupie statuses as well, in a series known for its incredibly handsome hunks. And he's a dwarf. That's a big thing to transcend, both in the plot of this epic work, and in real life.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Atheists Can't Transcend
A fave of mine, too. Written by Pete Seeger, and made famous by the Byrds. Here's Pete, on God, from wikipedia: When asked about his religious or spiritual views, Seeger replied: I feel most spiritual when I’m out in the woods. I feel part of nature http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantheism. Or looking up at the stars. [I used to say] I was an atheist. Now I say, it’s all according to your definition of God. According to my definition of God, I’m not an atheist. Because I think God is everything. Whenever I open my eyes I’m looking at God.

[FairfieldLife] Hillary's Health: An Issue in 2016
Karl Rove is questioning Hillary Clinton's health for running as president in the next election. In her jyotish chart, it shows that she will be running a weak Sun in her first house. So, that means that this health issue will be a major factor in her decision to run for the presidency. It is likely that she will address this point on February 17, 2015 by announcing that she will not run for the office. http://news.yahoo.com/rove-hillary-clinton-brain-damage-135738855.html http://news.yahoo.com/rove-hillary-clinton-brain-damage-135738855.html
Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Atheists Can't Transcend
Fleetwood, Thanks for that info. Now everybody knows a little bit more about this Byrd song. From what remember, Qoheleth was the author of Ecclesiastes from which this passage came from. At first glance, this passage sounds more of a lament of life in general. But, since it got included in the OT, there must some hidden meaning behind it.
Re: [FairfieldLife] Tyrion Lannister's Emmy Reel
Sorry about the spoiler Turq - I wasn't thinking. I will tell you this and it
does not reveal anything about the show - in some ways the show is superior to
and more enjoyable than the books because one of the reasons there are so many
books and they are so long is that Martin gives you a tremendous amount of back
story that explains the history and motivations of the families that don't
really have to do with the current story except to explain why this lord hates
that lord and so on. The show ignores or cuts through what is not really
relevant right now. I mean you will be in the middle of seeing what Jon Snow is
doing and then you have to read page after page of history before you are
brought back to current events.

Just a note for those who may be following
Game
Of Thrones on HBO, or wherever you get it. Mild
spoilers for those who haven't seen it yet, but I
just
had to rap about how magnificent Peter Dinklage was in
the
latest episode, The Laws of Gods and Men.
As
some critics have already noted, this episode is pretty
much
a shoe-in to be the one that Mr. Dinklage will submit as
his
Emmy nomination reel when time comes to do so.
I
hope it will win him an Emmy to go with the Golden Globe
award he won in 2012.
In the time since, he has risen
from Supporting Role to top
billed
on the series, and with good reason. While Cersei
Lannister
may be the most hated character (although I personally
lean
more towards Ramsay Snow in that regard), Tyrion is by
far
the most loved. He has the most star power,
and
reputedly has the one of the biggest groupie statuses as
well, in a series known for its incredibly handsome
hunks.
And he's a dwarf.
That's a big thing to
transcend, both in the plot of this epic work, and in
real
life. In this episode, standing in the dock on trial for
his
life, we watch Tyrion deal with a series of
disappointments
and betrayals that would sink a man twice his size and
reduce him to helpless depression and surrender. Instead,
he
rises to the occasion, and to the full measure of his
4'5 (1.35 m) stature and delivers one of the
great
courtroom speeches ever delivered onscreen.
In it, as Tyrion rails about what
it's felt like to be on trial for being a dwarf his
whole life, and the
occasional anger he feels about this, we can *feel*
Peter
Dinklage's similar railing, and anger. But Dinklage
transcended that trial and that anger, and now is near
the
top of the acting hierarchy. Good for him. And hopefully
good for Tyrion in the coming episodes, too. I
haven't
read the books, so what happens to him is still a mystery
to
me. I look forward to it being resolved, but hopefully
not
before a few more speeches like this one.

Re: [FairfieldLife] A pretty cool car, and it's from India
At $10K US it would cost too much for a simple car especially if the trikke car (Elio) is going to sell for less than $7K. As for crash tests people do ride around on motobikes and mopeds. A few mods might make it pass but how much energy does it use to pump it up? The reason that smart cars haven't exactly taken off is their mileage is not that much difference from something like a Toyota Yaris.

[FairfieldLife] Senator Rubio: If God Wants the Climate to Change, We Must Let It
Senator Rubio: If God Wants the Climate to Change, We Must Let It Written by http://www.newslo.com/author/alex-kuzio/ Alex Kuzio May 12th 2014 WASHINGTON – Republican Senator Marco Rubio (FL), a prominent Christian and noted skeptic of climate change science, yesterday argued that Americans http://www.latimes.com/nation/politics/politicsnow/la-pn-rubio-denies-climate-change-20140511-story.html should resist efforts by the federal government to curb carbon dioxide emissions. Sen. Rubio, who is a likely candidate for president in 2016, said that such programs would be “against God’s Will,” since “for all we know, God wants the Earth to get warmer.” Speaking at a luncheon with potential donors, Rubio admitted that “it’s getting more and more difficult to deny that the Earth is getting hotter—just look at the new NASA report.” Rubio was referring to two studies http://www.businessinsider.com/west-antarctic-ice-sheet-collapse-means-2014-5 released Monday which indicate that the “melting of the Western Antarctic Ice sheet is unstoppable, and the glaciers are doomed to collapse and melt into the sea,” which will raise sea levels significantly, leaving much of the world’s coastal cities underwater. “So yeah, I don’t deny it’s happening,” Rubio said. “But what we absolutely cannot say for sure is that a warming Earth is not just part of God’s plan,” Rubio explained. “God knows what He’s doing, and it pleases Him to see half of Manhattan underwater and Miami wiped out completely, then we cannot stand in His way.” Rubio is a Roman Catholic, although he and his family practiced as Mormons for a time. He has said that he believes “with all [his] heart that God still destines for us an even better future and the opportunity to continue to serve as an inspiration to the world.” Today Rubio said that climate change doesn’t necessarily dash the hopes for a better future. “God destines us for a better future, and rising sea levels are a part of that, then it must be for the best,” he said. Rubio’s remarks follow those he made on Sunday, when he told “This Week” host George Stephanopoulos that he does not believe climate change is the result of human activity. “I do not believe that human activity is causing these dramatic changes to our climate the way these scientists are portraying it… [and] I do not believe that the laws that they propose we pass will do anything about it, except it will destroy our economy,” Rubio added. Today the senator clarified those remarks. “What I meant was that Jesus Himself is probably responsible for global warming,” he said. “I can’t tell you exactly why he’s doing it, but that’s what Faith is for—trusting that Jesus is warming up the planet so we can all live in water parks or something equally awesome.”

[FairfieldLife] Conversations withe Maharishi: The normality of Brahman
Conversations with Maharishi By Dr. Vernon Katz Hardcover, 393 pages Published in 2011 Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Speaks about Full Development of Human Consciousness The majestic panoramas of Lake Tahoe in California and the Kashmir Valley in the Himalayas provided the ideal settings for the conversations in this book. It was there in 1968 and 1969 that Maharishi began his as-yet-unpublished commentary on the Brahma Sutra, a key text of the timeless wisdom of Vedanta. The penetrating questions asked by Dr. Katz inspired deep insights from Maharishi on the nature and development of higher states of consciousness. Through Maharishi's words, the ultimate reality of life becomes meaningful and practical for people living today: anyone can awaken the wholeness of consciousness within. These conversations are suffused with bliss and serve as a tribute to Maharishi's legacy of knowledge for full development of the human heart and mind. Maharishi: People will enjoy this book. They will enjoy your insight. VK: I haven't any insight. It's your wisdom they will enjoy, and they will enjoy it all the more when set against my ignorance. Maharishi: See what insight you have! Dr. Vernon Katz brought such huge delight to Maharishi. His sweet and lovable nature was one thing-but his powerful and highly discriminating intellect and his repeated enquiries to Maharishi inspired Maharishi so much. Maharishi in conversation with Vernon brought out wave upon wave of the highest knowledge to satisfy Vernon's thirst to understand fully the Brahm Vidya that Maharishi was expounding to the world. And Maharishi loved him for it. Vernon's role has been a singular one in the history of Maharishi's unfoldment of Total Knowledge from the Vedic tradition. We are all grateful to him for what he has done for all of us, and for sharing his fascinating conversations with Maharishi in this book. - Dr. Bevan Morris, Prime Minister Global Country of World Peace, President Maharishi University of Management In this long-awaited book, we join Dr. Vernon Katz as he sits by Maharishi's side, and we listen in on these exhilarating conversations about the highest potential of human life. We are on the scene as Maharishi brings to light the precious knowledge of enlightenment in its original purity and completeness. This book presents a clear exposition of this timeless wisdom along with the delight of being with Maharishi personally, in itself a treasure. - Dr. Craig Pearson, author, The Complete Book of Yogic Flying and The Supreme Awakening (in press) About the Author Vernon Katz is a trustee and a visiting professor at Maharishi University of Management, Fairfield, Iowa, U.S.A. He earned a first class honours degree and a doctorate in philosophy from Oxford University. His thesis on Indian philosophy was supervised by Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, the eminent philosopher who became India's second president. Vernon's work with Maharishi on the Vedic literature began in 1962, when Maharishi invited him to assist with translation of the Bhagavad- Gita. Maharishi's insights into Vedic knowledge and its practical application for human life will be upheld and will benefit life for millennia to come. The conversations in this book give the reader a glimpse into a precious phase in the emergence of Maharishi's knowledge.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Conversations withe Maharishi: The normality of Brahman
That is true. Is a really good book in conversation where you get to hear their sense of humor and Maharishi's depth around all this spiritual stuff. For academic reasons I have been reading through the sequence of a lot of earlier large format publications that Maharishi produced once the Heidelberg color presses were purchased to look at the historical progression through them. This Conversations with Maharishi book, though a recent post-humus book, drops in to that 1960's period of Maharishi's Being with the BGita and the Brahma Sutras. -Buck nablusoss1008 writes: Conversations with Maharishi vol. 1 from MUM, highly recommendable.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Senator Rubio: If God Wants the Climate to Change, We Must Let It
James Watt II? On 05/13/2014 06:16 PM, 'Rick Archer' r...@searchsummit.com [FairfieldLife] wrote: Senator Rubio: If God Wants the Climate to Change, We Must Let It Written by Alex Kuzio http://www.newslo.com/author/alex-kuzio/ /May 12th 2014/ WASHINGTON – Republican Senator Marco Rubio (FL), a prominent Christian and noted skeptic of climate change science, yesterday argued that Americans should resist efforts http://www.latimes.com/nation/politics/politicsnow/la-pn-rubio-denies-climate-change-20140511-story.html by the federal government to curb carbon dioxide emissions. Sen. Rubio, who is a likely candidate for president in 2016, said that such programs would be “against God’s Will,” since “for all we know, God /wants /the Earth to get warmer.” Speaking at a luncheon with potential donors, Rubio admitted that “it’s getting more and more difficult to deny that the Earth is getting hotter—just look at the new NASA report.” Rubio was referring to two studies released Monday http://www.businessinsider.com/west-antarctic-ice-sheet-collapse-means-2014-5 which indicate that the “melting of the Western Antarctic Ice sheet is unstoppable, and the glaciers are doomed to collapse and melt into the sea,” which will raise sea levels significantly, leaving much of the world’s coastal cities underwater. “So yeah, I don’t deny it’s happening,” Rubio said. “But what we absolutely /cannot /say for sure is that a warming Earth is not just part of God’s plan,” Rubio explained. “God knows what He’s doing, and it pleases Him to see half of Manhattan underwater and Miami wiped out completely, then we cannot stand in His way.” Rubio is a Roman Catholic, although he and his family practiced as Mormons for a time. He has said that he believes “with all [his] heart that God still destines for us an even better future and the opportunity to continue to serve as an inspiration to the world.” Today Rubio said that climate change doesn’t necessarily dash the hopes for a better future. “God destines us for a better future, and rising sea levels are a part of that, then it must be for the best,” he said. Rubio’s remarks follow those he made on Sunday, when he told “This Week” host George Stephanopoulos that he does not believe climate change is the result of human activity. “I do not believe that human activity is causing these dramatic changes to our climate the way these scientists are portraying it… [and] I do not believe that the laws that they propose we pass will do anything about it, except it will destroy our economy,” Rubio added. Today the senator clarified those remarks. “What I /meant /was that Jesus Himself is probably responsible for global warming,” he said. “I can’t tell you exactly /why /he’s doing it, but that’s what Faith is for—/trusting /that Jesus is warming up the planet so we can all live in water parks or something equally awesome.”
