They're called aircraft Nabby, that's why it appears to change shape, they are 
flying in formation. Can't help thinking that if it were otherwise the local

How now Malvolio? 
 Since when did you become such a Vedic purist?
 
 The Vedic and Hindu literature are full of exceptions to the rule.
 
 Michael, what you may be missing, is the the technique worked for Fleet.  It 
worked for me. And it may, possibly, have worked for a few others.  
 
 Are we mood making?  Are we fooling ourselves?
 
 Do you think it matters to anyone, other than Paul Mason, Dana Sawyer, Vaj, 
and yourself whether MMY was qualified to act in role of a teacher, because of 
this caste?  Of course not.  Sometimes it helps to not be distracted by a lot 
of outdated conventions.  I would think this would be evident to you.

   Maharishi was not exactly a kumbayah type of guy. Many of the things he did, 
were meant to challenge people's boundaries. He operated as a teacher, but came 
from the warrior caste. So he waged war on ignorance, constantly, through his 
teaching, and the way he structured his organization. 
 
 Which is not to say, that to question what he did, labels any of us as 
ignorant, any more than to blindly agree with him, means the opposite. He was a

up so many questions within you, with his rajas. 
 
 That questioning is the key, I have found, to unlocking everything he said, or

   Maharishi was not exactly a kumbayah type of guy. Many of the things he did, 
were meant to challenge people's boundaries. He operated as a teacher, but came 
from the warrior caste. So he waged war on ignorance, constantly, through his 
teaching, and the way he structured his organization. 
 
 Which is not to say, that to question what he did, labels any of us as 
ignorant, any more than to blindly agree with him, means the opposite. He was a 
very provocative person, and would be pleased no doubt, to see that he stirred 
up so many questions within you, with his rajas. 
 
 That questioning is the key, I have found, to unlocking everything he said, or 
did, and getting the most out of it. Along with taking it lightly. Not very 
many of us get to be a Maharishi, or a Robin Williams, or a Lauren Bacall, or 
any of these great public figures that help to shape our lives, by living 
theirs. It is not in my DNA to align myself completely with any one of them, 
but it would be a dreary and boring world, without them.
 
 As for the rajas, I think being one is a real mind blower - Maharishi 
deliberately made it so, including the uniforms. Line in the sand, and all 
that. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,  wrote : ---In

[FairfieldLife] A walk in the park

[fleetwood_macnche...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

As I was pulling out, to go to Bidwell Park this morning, 7:30-ish, a guy runs 
by, he's about 6'5, all muscle, deep tan, floating down the sidewalk, but fast, 
like an antelope, with blond dreads halfway down his back. That was different. 
Then off to the park, 1800 acres, with lots of back country - I decide to walk 
the full circuit, nine or ten miles-ish, about a three hour round-trip - 
starting up a ridge, above a canyon, a steep and rough trail, climbing for 
awhile, then back down to the park trail that skirts the creek, at first a 
hundred feet below the trail, then eventually level with it, and back to the 
car. 
 
 As I hike deeper in, I bury myself in the wilderness, and the strengthening 
silence and heat - all encompassing. Walking for miles, into the silence, 
hearing my footsteps, my breathing, sweating, the strike of my hiking stick, an 
occasional bird chirp. Not much dirt trail, most is exposed volcanic rock, and 
basalt. Huge rock formations above the canyon, so old, and still here. The 
entire landscape is rocky, dry, ancient, and hot, and I love it. After awhile 
my one water bottle runs out, and I am trudging back, thirsty, and even then, 
getting into it. When I am almost done, a woman comes by with two dogs, a lab, 
and what looks like a small pony from a distance - short reddish fur, and a 
back that could easily carry a saddle. I nodded to her, smiled, and said, "big 
dog", as I walked by.

[lengli...@cox.net [FairfieldLife]]

What people don't appreciate is that the Kaplan made donations that were 
apparently earmarked fro a specific project. 
 The TM organization apparently diverted those funds to a different project, 
which isn't proper.
 
 HOWEVER, the Kaplans had invested heavily in a for-profit venture in the same 
place that the donations were supposed to be spent, so when the Movement 
diverted the spending to somethign else they were between a rock and a hard 
place:
 
 they could sue, and get their money back, and then face an IRS investigation 
about how their money had been donated in a way that would have benefited them 
on a financial level while still claiming it was tax-dedcutable, OR they could 
grit their teeth and complain loudly and ineffectually in public about what an 
awful group the TM organization was.
 
 
 They did the latter.
 
 The project they invested in had been deemed unfeasible by the TM organization 
so they stopped working on it. Rightfully, the Kaplans could have requested 
their money back and the TM organization would have had no choice but give it 
back, but apparently the Kaplans didn't want to go THAT route, since it still 
would have meant they would need to pay extra taxes and they were in the middle 
of a lawsuit over mishandling their business which they had just sold to 
someone. Any irregularities would have made their case worse, I suspect.
 
 Of course, I'm not a tax lawyer, but that is my own personal assessment of 
what was going on behind the scenes when the Kaplans first started making 
noises about how awful the TM organization was.

   7Ray, 'Lost your enthusiasm' for it and stepped back? Just wondering, when 
about was that? Was it related to the financial acquisitiveness and specialness 
of the hard hitting fundraisers? Back in the 1990's? I ran in to an old 
meditator here the other day who helped build the Domes back in the 1980's. 
Still lives here, meditates, a very spiritual guy and very talented in his work 
life. Lot of people would know him. He stopped going and then supporting the 
movement in the early 1990's when they raised the Dome fees and when it became 
apparent that while they were saying the needed money was for maintaining the 
place yet the money obviously went elsewhere and they would not use the money 
for maintaining the place. Even mortgaged the Domes and used the money 
elsewhere at a point. Did you sour about then too? Early 1990's? Or, a little 
later when the Earl Kaplan money was absconded with and it was a little too 
obvious? Just wondering the time-frame when the milk curdled in response to

It is a strange experience to both be completely and utterly satisfied in the

At one point in the video you can make out the lines from the planet to

otherwise in a city of that population it would have been big news.  The

and surely delighted in constantly stirring up things even though he covered 
his tracks perfectly; you could never see the delight he must have felt in 
stretching the boundaries in everyone around him. His dharma, a part of his 
mission and not a source of enjoyment. New projects, projects abandonded 
continously not for the sake of accomplishing much but to stretch the limit of 
the souls involved to the max.
 And the total abandon with which he did it. No fear whatsoever even if it 
meant challenging the people to organize a 7000 course in FF on a few weeks 
notice from scratch sitting on a couch in Washington DC looking carefree as 
ever.
 I think others have more fun in seeing the reactions and unstressing following 
the Raja-thing than he did. It's amusing to watch that even the facial 
expressions of the Rajas receives comments here unaware of the fact that the 
photo was taken on the cremation day.
 It's a marvelous plan and it unfolds perfectly.
 Regarding the uniforms, being a Khasatrya he wanted to introduce this all 
along, particularily in Seelisberg but the time wasn't ripe and the 
participants refused. But when time was right it surely created waves and 
continues to do so till this day :-)

 Thanks for this explanation of the role of the Rajas. So they are more like a 
board of directors of a company it sounds like. This is interesting. Just 
because these MEN have assets does this mean they have any expertise in running 
a company? Or a Movement? What are these MEN'S backgrounds? Can you provide a 
list of who they are and how long they remain or have remained "on the board"? 
You need at least a million in gifts to the Movement to qualify? How often do 
they get together? Now I am interested in this group of MEN who, apparently, 
due to their financial status and willingness to give to the Movement have been 
asked to wear robes and crowns. Tell me more.

Fleetwood, I loved it when Maharishi replied to a FFer back in the early days 
that a religious person would see TM as a religion, a scientist would see it as 
a science, an educator would see it as aspect of education, a business man 
would see it as business. I think what he was saying is that the outer world is 
a mirror of our inner world. Read it and weep. Or better yet, read it and laugh

Beautiful ! Maharishi was indeed a warrior and surely delighted in constantly 
stirring up things even though he covered his tracks perfectly; you could never 
see the delight he must have felt in stretching the boundaries in everyone 
around him. His dharma, a part of his mission and not a source of enjoyment. 
New projects, projects abandonded continously not for the sake of accomplishing 
much but to stretch the limit of the souls involved to the max.
And the total abandon with which he did it. No fear whatsoever even if it meant 
challenging the people to organize a 7000 course in FF on a few weeks notice 
from scratch sitting on a couch in Washington DC looking carefree as ever.
I think others have more fun in seeing the reactions and unstressing following

Horseshit horseshit horseshit - all a bunch of lets find excuses for Marshy's 
behavior - and he was not from the warrior caste - he was a scribe.

Kayasthas are traditionally considered to be members of the literate 
scribe caste, who acted as record-keepers, keepers of public accounts, 
writers and administrators of the state.

So he was in his dharma when he was secretary to GD - he stepped out of his 
dharma when he created the persona of a spiritual teacher, probably in response 
to his father yelling at him to get off his lazy ass and get out of his house 
after he slunk back home when the new Shankarasharya kicked his ass out of 
Jyotir Math after GD kicked the bucket.

wondering, when about was that?  Was it related to the financial
acquisitiveness and specialness of the hard hitting fundraisers? 
Back in the 1990's?  I ran in to an old meditator here the other day
who helped build the Domes back in the 1980's.  Still lives here,
meditates, a very spiritual guy and very talented in his work life. 
Lot of people would know him.  He stopped going and then supporting
the movement in the early 1990's when they raised the Dome fees and
when it became apparent that while they were saying the needed money
was for maintaining the place yet the money obviously went elsewhere
and they would not use the money for maintaining the place.  Even
mortgaged the Domes and used the money elsewhere at a point.  Did you
sour about then too?  Early 1990's?  Or, a little later when the Earl

Yes, I know part of teacher training was that we need to be there when they do 
decide to take that step.
But I guess I just got selfish, and my path became focussed more on myself, I 
guess.
On the other hand, I do try to be uplifting in my daily interactions.
Om 7Ray, this meditation of yours on meditation is exceedingly
ecumenical of you.  So, transcendental consciousness is something more than 
alpha wave coherence in the brain?  Like a field in coherence that the may be

they do not have a handle on the heart yet strictly in TM.  The Yogananda

evidently in Meissner Effect during their annual convocation?  TM in America at 
least does not seem to be able to bring that kind of critical spiritual mass

Okay, you've got Edg, who you respect, and so do I, saying, if I understand him

thoughts till you find a break in the action and then settle to a quieter place.
You've got Barry who, again, if I understand it correctly, practices some form 
of meditation on a daily basis. Same with Salyavin, who has indicated that he 
does TM, at least some of the time.
It seems to me that basically, they all work the same way.  So, why would one 
technique, be singled out as being harmful.
Or maybe you give the technique a pass, but find fault with the culture around 
it, especially the upsell.
But take that away, and I can't see where the basic technique differs much from 
any other forms of meditation.
Yes, if I found myself giving an introductory lecture, I would say,with 
confidence, that the technique is natural and effortless, and that it follows 
the natural tendency of the mind to go to a field of great charm.  In my mind 
that field is sat chit ananda.  But I wouldn't use that term.
And no, I would not say that is the "best" form of meditation available. 
Anyway, I'd welcome your opinion, if you'd care to share it.

Yep - that is a long fuselage for a turboprop. Must be strong engines. ---In

 Do you know about the short cross-runway at Newark and these Q-400's landing 
between airliners on the main runways?  Similar cross-winds deal most every 
working day there. 
 In the best of conditions you have to typically land Q-400's really fast 
within in a 5 degree rotation or you'll drag the tail section of the airliner 
on the ground behind the rear wheels.  Got to grease it on at speed.  Take a 
look at the picture of the plane, the length of the body and figure out what 
that means.  There is a lot of plane yet behind the wing, engines and rear 
wheels.  It is a long pencil to fly with jet-powered propellers.  Given that 
the yoke and throttle are in two different places the guy did quite alright in 
the conditions.  Given the very public headline I bet the guy is flying with at 
least with one first officer now actively on the controls also.  It takes two 
really conscious adults anyway to successfully fly airliners like that, like it 
takes two heads to ride a horse successfully.  -Buck

Maharishi was not exactly a kumbayah type of guy. Many of the things he did, 
were meant to challenge people's boundaries. He operated as a teacher, but came 
from the warrior caste. So he waged war on ignorance, constantly, through his 
teaching, and the way he structured his organization.  
 Which is not to say, that to question what he did, labels any of us as 
ignorant, any more than to blindly agree with him, means the opposite. He was a 
very provocative person, and would be pleased no doubt, to see that he stirred 
up so many questions within you, with his rajas. 
 
 That questioning is the key, I have found, to unlocking everything he said, or 
did, and getting the most out of it. Along with taking it lightly. Not very 
many of us get to be a Maharishi, or a Robin Williams, or a Lauren Bacall, or 
any of these great public figures that help to shape our lives, by living 
theirs. It is not in my DNA to align myself completely with any one of them, 
but it would be a dreary and boring world, without them.
 
 As for the rajas, I think being one is a real mind blower - Maharishi 
deliberately made it so, including the uniforms. Line in the sand, and all 
that. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,  wrote : ---In

 I am sure you have taken some indirect, and perhaps direct, flak about this 
Raja business. And because I like you (even though I don't really know you) I 
always am aware that when I make a comment about Rajas that your brother is one 
and it makes me feel just a teeny bit guilty. However, the Raja concept is one 
I have a hard time wrapping my proverbial head around because: 
 A) Their wardrobe is preposterous
 B) There don't appear to be any female Rajas (maybe they declined the option, 
seeing as the wardrobe is not good).
 C) The idea of this hierarchical monarchy business just seems so strange and 
elitist and transparent since it's based on monetary contributions.
 D) I'm jealous and really want to wear a white robe emblazoned with gold 
embroidery.

   I sat in on a movement meeting once, and the person speaking was giving out 
instructions on how to behave around the movement rajas...
 

I can only hope that the instructions contained a segment on how to keep from 
breaking out into uncontrollable laughter when you see them truckin' along to 
the sound of bagpipe music, wearing their robes and crowns. 

 For once I agree with you, it is about as phony and silly as it gets. And they 
all look so serious, as if those cheap tin crowns are indicative anything other 
than bad headgear.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Huge UFO over France, July 2014

[nablusoss1008]

Potentially thousands of people could have seen this Mothership, including 
passengers in the plane passing by. It's interesting to note that they have 
technology enabling them to go in and out of frequencies making them in/visible 
so everyone looking at the sky that evening might not have noticed it. 
 This video is striking because of the highish quality and lack of camera shake 
which is so usual with amateur recordings, particularily at night.
 
 Regarding your question these Motherships usually comes from either Mars or 
Venus. According to Benjamin Creme most of these ships are constructed on Mars, 
even though they might be used by Spacebrothers from Venus. And no matter what 
Hollywood wants you to believe; these UFO's and our Spacebrothers manning them 
are not only harmless but are doing humanity a great service by cleaning up 
nuclear radiation and other unseen pollution on this planet.---In
