Re: [FairfieldLife] Holy Man Claims He Has Not Eaten Or Drank Anything In 70 Years!
Nor did anyone else when he was studied for 3 weeks in hospital with 24 hrs camera surveillence. His claims were scientifically studied by a team of 30 specialists during three weeks of a variety of tests at a hospital. They took him into then Sterling Hospital in Ahmedabad, India. They put him under 24 hour observation in front of cameras and found out that he did not take any kind of food or water in the 15 days that he was in hospital. No food or water for half that time would be a sure death for anybody else. And he did not pass urine or stool either. The doctors were completely surprised at this miracle. “We believe that the sadhu Prahlad Jani’s body went through biological transformation as a result of meditation and powerful yoga in a completely natural environment that he stays.” - See more at: Holy Man Claims He Has Not Eaten Or Drank Anything In 70 Years! http://www.spiritscienceandmetaphysics.com/holy-man-claims-he-has-not-eaten-or-drank-anything-in-70-years/#sthash.GdHK7DRQ.dpuf http://www.spiritscienceandmetaphysics.com/holy-man-claims-he-has-not-eaten-or-drank-anything-in-70-years/#sthash.GdHK7DRQ.dpuf Holy Man Claims He Has Not Eaten Or Drank Anything I... http://www.spiritscienceandmetaphysics.com/holy-man-claims-he-has-not-eaten-or-drank-anything-in-70-years/#sthash.GdHK7DRQ.dpuf What is the longest you have gone without a piece of food or a glass of water?

Re: [FairfieldLife] What you are ignorant about will kill you
I understand the argument and have long recognized that Islam is more than a religion but a political group. But what do you do about the 85% who pay lip service? What do you do about the friend who comes from an Islamic family and when you ask them about don't know much because the family didn't practice it. Or they tell they can't remember the last time they visited a mosque, maybe it was when they were a kid and their parents sent them once to find out what it was about And then they ask if you would like a beer? If you want to be democratic about it, get rid of all religion. Delegate it to museums and history books. We have psychology to replace it as long as big pharma doesn't take it over for profit and make if very Huxlian. After all religion is a mind control device invented some time in the deep dark past when a ruler worried his subjects were going to come kill him and take over his kingdom decided to tell the subjects if the did bad things they would be punished for it after death.

My wife and I were listening to music on a CD and enjoyed our ride home, and knew nothing about it. When we got home, we listened to our messages. The first two were from family members hysterically crying, We've been attacked! America is at war! My first thought, of course, was the ever-eloquent, What the fuck!?! We watched the news, and I was baffled. Why would anyone do such a thing? I was about as ignorant about this as someone can be. But I'm a learner. It's what I like to do. And since that day, I've learned a lot. I learned that this was not an isolated incident. Attacks had become more frequent and more deadly over the years. I just hadn't noticed. And I eventually learned that this is not just a problem of generic terrorism, but a global movement based on Citizen Warrior: The Quran's Last Word on Non-Muslims http://www.citizenwarrior.com/2010/09/qurans-last-word-on-non-muslims.html and the example of Muhammad http://www.inquiryintoislam.com/2010/08/sacredness-of-mohammads-example.html. I learned that Islam is a unique religion because it's a political system and a system of law as well as being what most people would call a religion. Its goal is world domination, it has explicit permission for (and approval of) violence in its holy books, and it is intolerant of non-Muslims. Its laws even include legally-imposed discrimination against non-Muslims (and all women). (Read more about that here http://www.inquiryintoislam.com/2010/11/basic-elements-of-islam.html.) I learned that an almost-uninterrupted jihad has been waged against non-Muslims for 1400 years http://www.citizenwarrior.com/2008/12/third-jihad.html. The attacks are near constant. So far since 9-11, Jihadis have carried out 23,795 http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/index.html#Attacks deadly attacks. Most of us don't see it as a war. We see isolated attacks. If you take in the whole global view http://www.citizenwarrior.com/2007/09/these-arent-terrorist-attacks-this-is.html, however, or listen to the point of view of a Jihadi http://www.citizenwarrior.com/2008/09/what-is-jihadi.html, or read this http://thereligionofpeace.com/, you will see it for what it is: A global war — orthodox Muslims http://www.inquiryintoislam.com/2010/07/orthodox-versus-heterodox-muslims.html against everybody else. The majority of the conflicts in the world today consist of Jihadis http://www.citizenwarrior.com/2008/09/what-is-jihadi.html fighting non-Muslims or Muslims who are considered insufficiently Islamic. If you removed jihad from the world right now, it would be a fairly peaceful place. I also learned that one of the main reasons democracies have so much trouble dealing with Jihadis is because of an important conflict within democracies http://www.citizenwarrior.com/2007/09/why-now-islams-rise-explained.html. Specifically, most people in the free world believe 1) everyone has a right to worship as they wish, and 2) discrimination of any kind is wrong. These are important foundational principles of liberal democracies around the world. Why is this a problem? Because the simplest way to deal with Islam would be to discriminate against it. In other words, to openly admit Islam is unique (because of its political aspirations and religious duty to overthrow all other forms of law and government), and stop all concessions to Islam http://www.citizenwarrior.com/2008/08/concession-stand.html and roll back any concessions already made http://concess.blogspot.com/. We can't do that because it violates important values of our societies. Or does it necessarily? This dialog needs to happen and solutions need to be created for it.

[FairfieldLife] Re: What you are ignorant about will kill you
Bhairitu: If you want to be democratic about it, get rid of all religion. What we have to do is get rid of the inappropriate violent tendencies in religions through consciousness expansion techniques. What's needed is the implementation of a consciousness-based education that is rational and middle way between conservative and radical. What we should aspire to should be neither violent nor pacific, nor both, nor neither. In order to see in the dark you bring in the Light. According to the ancient enlightenment tradition, people suffer due to ignorance and not being able to discriminate between the real and the appearance of reality. It should be understood that enlightenment depends SOLELY upon the discriminative knowledge of the individual in order to reveal the true nature of things.

[FairfieldLife] The Secret of Yogic Flying
It's very simple. The technique is to attain samadhi while in the waking state of consciousness. As such, one can also retain the samadhi state during the dreaming state of consciousness. It is during the dreaming state that the yogic flying can be easily experienced. But MMY was pushing the envelope by saying, if you can fly during the dreaming state, why not fly during the waking state as well?
Re: [FairfieldLife] Holy Man Claims He Has Not Eaten Or Drank Anything In 70 Years!
Bhairitu: What is the practical value? What is the quality of life? One can attain moksha and enlightenment without this. Why bother? The ascetic sect in South Asia is very old and originated even before the composition of the Rig Veda. The idea is called tapas - burning up the accumulation of past karma by performing austerities such as meditation and yoga and various fasting diets and techniques such as fire breathing inside a sauna. If you want to burn up a lot of karma in a short amount of time, you should try meditating surrounded by five blazing fires in the middle of the summer. However, the most beneficial tapas of all and highly recommended for householders, is the tapas of maintaining absolute silence around the house and when you go out, you must be silent at all times - EVEN IN TIMES OF PUBLIC VERBAL ABUSE, and be totally naked in all seasons. This will burn up a lot of karma in a very short time. The giving up of activities that are based on material desire is what great learned men call sanyasa. And giving up the results of all activities is what the wise call yoga. - BG: 18.2

At the same time, you have to be wary of accumulating new karma as you act in the present world - so you should move about as little as possible and practice ahimsa or harmlessness. In order to keep the body conditioned it is recommended that you practice several body positions and placements. There are several very helpful yoga asanas you can employ such as the head-stand and the bound lotus position. Also, counting the breaths is a very effective form of tapas (an aspiring yogi should be able to count at least the distance to the sun and back.) And, if you follow the yoga dietary injunctions, such as consuming a single uncooked wheat-berry per day and some filtered water, in time you will become almost as light as a cotton fiber.

Re: [FairfieldLife] The Secret of Yogic Flying
Richard, That's true. But there is a difference between a regular dream and a dream while in samadhi. IMO, the dreams while in samadhi are more graphic and blissful. But there may be other effects that one can imagine. IMO, the dreams while in samadhi has a greater possibility of actually manifesting while in the waking state of consciousness. This is because the self is more aware of the dream and would likely repeat a positive dream during the waking state. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, punditster@... wrote : On 9/22/2014 2:37 PM, jr_esq@... mailto:jr_esq@...

So, let's review what we know: The Aryan speakers were tribes of nomadic cattle breeders, who occupied the steppes of Central Asia and the plains of the Caucasus Range close to the Black Sea and in Persia, now Iran. Due to overpopulation, about 1500 B.C., with many cattle, horse-drawn chariots, and iron weapons, they migrated northwards, to Persia, now Iran, then turned south-east around the Caspian and finally reached Northern India, by way of the Indus Valley where they composed the Vedas.

On 9/22/2014 4:13 PM, jr_...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife] wrote: ... there is a difference between a regular dream and a dream while in samadhi. IMO, the dreams while in samadhi are more graphic and blissful. But there may be other effects that one can imagine. IMO, the dreams while in samadhi has a greater possibility of actually manifesting while in the waking state of consciousness. This is because the self is more aware of the dream and would likely repeat a positive dream during the waking state. Lucid dreaming has been researched scientifically, and its existence is well established. This case would probably be called a /transcendental lucid dream/ - a dream in which the sleeper-dreamer is in deep meditation and aware that he or she is dreaming that they are transcending. It sounds complicated. In the eighth century, some Tibetan Buddhists were practicing a form of /Light Yoga/ which is reputed to maintain /full waking consciousness while in the dream state/. Awareness during the sleep and dream states is associated with the Tibetan Light by certain lamas. This practice achieves lucid dreams as a secondary effect—in contrast to Lucid Dream Yoga in which the goal is primarily just lucid dreaming. According to a few Buddhist teachers, the experience of lucidity helps us to understand the unreality of phenomena, which would otherwise be overwhelming during some dream experiences. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, punditster@... wrote : On 9/22/2014 2:37 PM, jr_esq@... mailto:jr_esq@...

Scientists have already found several extrasolar planets that are similar to earth. They're estimating that there may be about 50 billion of those earthlike planets in the Milky Way alone. Given these odds, there is a very high probability that ETs live within our galaxy. This idea may shatter the beliefs of some conservative Christians, like the Creationists. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/09/22/nasa-astrobiology-alien-search_n_5860714.html?ncid=txtlnkusaolp0592 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/09/22/nasa-astrobiology-alien-search_n_5860714.html?ncid=txtlnkusaolp0592

There is just nothing quite like a bowl of hot, steaming noodle soup in the early morning or late at night, or just about any time. Here is our family recipe for delicious home made ramen noodle soup: Ingredients: * Whole wheat noodles * Water Instructions: 1. In a pot, bring water to a boil 2. Scoop in a cup of organic whole wheat noodles 3. Keep on low heat uncovered, until noodles are soft, but not too soft 4. Remove and drain in hot water Serving: Serve in ceramic bowels with chop sticks or spoons and add soy sauce to taste. Enjoy. /Shoyu (soy-based broth) ramen/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramen *Notes:* /San-Ji Organic Shoyu is brewed with soybeans and wheat resulting in a more aromatic sauce perfect for dipping or as a table condiment. It is naturally brewed for up to six months. Water, whole soybeans, salt, whole wheat./ *Comments:* /For years we used to eat cheap ramen noodle soup made from noodles in a bag with a flavor package inside. That is, until we became health food addicts back on June 16, 1967. We still like to have noodle soup on occasion, although we don't eat many carbohydrates these days. Once we saw a Japanese film about a noodle shop and so we started eating noodle soup back when we were hippies in San Francisco. Back then we were very susceptible to the suggestions of others, peer pressure and we were poor. Go figure. / http://youtu.be/L9m6FoSw4jE

This is the reason why there is a precession of the earth's axis. This is the scientific explanation for the various ages of the earth, i.e. Age of Aquarius. Sri Yukteswar believed that the precession is actually due to our Sun revolving around with a twin star in Alpha Centauri. It is believed that the ancient Egyptians knew this theory as well. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-binary-star-system.htm http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-binary-star-system.htm ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, mjackson74@... wrote : yugas don't exist - they were made up by the Indian holy men or modern translation those guys who didn't want to work for a living and so sat around smoking ganja and meditating till they had wild hallucinations and declared them real to make themselves feel special From: salyavin808 no_re...@yahoogroups.com To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, September 22, 2014 3:48 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Why I hope to die at 75 ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, jr_esq@... wrote : Salyavin, By that measure, human beings must have been on earth longer than 6,000 years, which is the estimate for the creation of humans here on this planet, according to the Creationist believers. According to the vedic cycle of time, humans were wiser and lived longer during the Golden Age or Sat Yuga. By Yukteswar's reckoning, the last Sat Yuga was about 12,500 years ago during the Age of Leo. That was when the spring equinox occurred when the sun was in the sign of Leo. But, given the myths indicated in the vedas, the earth might have gone through several of these cycles already. So, when did humans actually appear on earth? That's a discussion for another day. I don't know nothing about no yuga's but the question of when humans first appeared is a fascinating one. I used to think it was a question of where we were happy drawing the line between us and the rest of the apes but recent DNA work has put the earliest common ancestor of all human males at 339,000 years ago (Chromosomal Adam). The earliest fossil evidence of anatomically identical humans is 200,000 years ago in Ethiopia. So there you go, problem solved but did any of them live until the great ages of the bible? No, why would they? Yuga's? No, shouldn't think so, why would the laws of nature change and favour us at particular times? Makes no sense to me, file under myth or method of social control. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, no_re...@yahoogroups.com wrote : ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, jr_esq@... wrote : When he reaches 75, he'll write another article about how he hopes to die at 95.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Maharishi: When one starts TM, cruder values are replaced by finer values, speech is less sharp
Yes, it is interesting to read this particular quote again now with the perspective of time and see where these cultural norms of TM-ishness came from. This was quite a formative quote at the time for what became permissible. It reads all over the place and ambiguous now but it was influential legacy. -Buck netineti108 writes: Have you followed the dialogue in this group over the years that developed from TM'ers ? Forwarded from: David Hooper davehoopermpp@... mailto:davehoopermpp@... 9/21/14-Maharishi: When one starts TM, cruder values are replaced by finer values, speech is less sharp …Children do say, 'Now, Mummy today you haven't meditated.' When they find a little roughness [in the mother], they say, 'No, you should meditate.' Children remind mothers to meditate. [This is] the effect of Transcendental Meditation, the children know that when Mummy has meditated she doesn't mind their mischief so much. Their crude behavior is overlooked, and they're all loved more and more and more. It's recognized by the children that right from the moment one starts to meditate, cruder values begin to be replaced by finer values, and this is what is called virtue -- finer values of life, more delicate values of life, more 'yes' and less 'no's,' more acceptance, less rejection, more tolerance, less sharpness. Otherwise, one is sharp here and sharp here. These sharp remarks even though true they don't help very much. Many people say, 'I am truthful and that's why people dislike me because I say something to their face.' Truth is not characterized by whips. If you speak truth, fine, the truth is there, but it should have some sweetness to it. Manu, the first lawgiver to the human race, said about speech: 'Satyāṁ brūyāt priyaṁ brūyāt na brūyāt satyam apriyam' Speak the truth, speak that which is sweet, don't speak the truth which is not sweet. Not that you can take liberty with the truth and massacre the whole field of behavior. Speak the simple, natural truth which is supporting life, which is nourishing life. Truth is always life-supporting if it is really truth, but it must come from a melted heart and not from a very unconcerned mind. No. So the moment TM begins, [there is] culture of the heart and culture of the mind,. ~Maharishi~ ~Humboldt State University -- August 12, 1970 -- Audiotape~ * * * * * * * 1.
