Sometimes I think that Maharishi's "greatest accomplishment" should be listed 
as having taken so many at-one-time-fairly-intelligent people and, over time, 
turned them into weak-minded, gullible idiots like jr_esq, Share, srijau, 
Lawson, and others we see from time to time here on FFL. These people will 
believe *anything* if 1) they're told that Maharishi or some other Seller Of 
Woo Woo believed in it, and 2) it makes them feel more self-important and 
'special' for believing it. 

The stuff they believe doesn't need to be reasonable, it doesn't need to follow 
the laws of physics or chemistry, and it doesn't depend on any kind of 
evidence. In fact, when presented with evidence that proves their belief to be 
nonsense, they believe even more strongly. Truly an accomplishment...

Salyavin,

If you believe that the universe is based in consciousness, 

I don't. That's the problem, just "believing" stuff about the universe and 
hoping you can find enough things to justify beliefs you have already decided 
are true without any evidence is no way to go about learning what's going on.

The idea that thoughts are entangled quantumly with the rest of the universe is 
nonsense, classical information -  that which can distinguish one thing from 
another -  cannot get entangled and therefore can't be transmitted.

then our thoughts are somehow "entangled" in a quantum sense with the rest of 
the universe.  So, it is possible to communicate telepathically with other 
sentient beings instantaneously in our galaxy or with the rest of the universe.

I'm sure that if it was possible we'd be able to do it here, probably wouldn't 
even need this internet thingy in the way. As it is we appear separate from 
each other.

There used to be a question similar to the following:  if a tree fell in a 
forest of an earth-like planet 1,000 light years away from us, would it make a 
sound?  My answer is yes, because consciousnes is present there and everywhere 
else in the universe.  And, somehow our own consciousness is linked--or 
entangled--with that universel consciousness.


I think you'll find that sound is pressure waves in the atmosphere, sure it 
needs our consciousness to interpret what is going on but it will make whatever 
sound it makes whether anyone is there or not. Or whether the universe is 
conscious or not.

S3,

That's a good question.  We may not get any message back at all since the radio 
waves are relatively slow in comparison to the large distances involved in the 
scale of the Milky Way and the entire universe.  Also, the earth-like planets 
near us may not have any advanced civilizations like ours.  Or, that their 
living beings are still in the microbial, plant or animal stages.

My point is that, if there are any advanced human-like  civilizations in the 
Milk Way, they would be communicating with us telepathically or through lucid 
dreams.  For example, a few years ago, there was a psychic here on FFL who 
posted that he was able to communicate telepathically with another being from 
the Pleaides star system.  I believe Rick knows the guy who also lives in 
Fairfield, Iowa.


OK, the first problem is: why would telepathic waves travel faster than light? 
Or rather, how could they travel faster than light? And that's forgetting the 
obvious question of brains being not all that strong compared to, say, Jodrell 
bank radio telescope! So the send/receive function is going to be a bit limited.

The other big problem is that the Pleaides system is pretty much the last place 
you will find life in our galaxy, a bunch of very young white-hot supergiant 
stars. Life of any organic type aint happening there, or anywhere close. 

That's typical of science, always spoiling people's fun. UFO contactees used to 
say they'd met beings from Venus or Mars until the harsh reality of the climate 
on those worlds drove their imaginary aliens away to the outer planets first 
and then on to more distant star systems. Not sure why the Pleaides got chosen 
as a home for the Space Brothers. They do look nice though, especially through 
a telescope as you can still see the blue nebulae that the stars formed out of.

OK, reading up on things, he's 8 years older than me, so an incident that 
happened 42 years ago would have made him in his mid-20s. Also, the incident 
was not with a 16-year-old he was dating with parent's knowledge, but with an

Oh My God, we've got *another* TM True Believer trying to make excuses for 
Stephen Collins on the grounds of misogyny and male privilege. 


Stephen Collins is 67. If, as your comrade-in-misogyny srijau suggests, the 
incidents in question happened 20 years ago, that would make him 47 at the time 
he was molesting an *11-year-old girl*. If it happened *40 years ago*, that 
would make him 27 as he was molesting the 11-, 12-, and 13-year-olds so far 
named in the investigation. 

The fact that YOU (depending on the state you lived in) were possibly willing 
to violate statutory rape laws and date a 16-year-old is...uh...NOT helping 
your case. Has TM made you INSANE?

 Yes indeed, something to be proud of. 
 

 I first came across it when attending a "coherence" day at the local academy 
(where I later lived) we were in the garden on a starry night and looking 
around the night sky and I was pointing out various things of interest like 
which planets were which and how far the nearest galaxy is when this purusha 
guy turned to me and said "And just think it's all consciousness". What's 
troubling is it was said with an intimation that it was an improvement or a 
superior explanation to "just" thinking that the universe is made of energy and 
stuff.
 

 It worries me because scientific and religious explanations don't mix very 
well but the quantum crowd think they've found a way of fitting the one into 
the other, or at least blinding people with enough abstract concepts so they 
think the two things belong together.
 

 It does annoy me too because people, like John, seem genuinely interested in 
physics and the sort of things it explains really well and the amazing 
discoveries and concepts of cosmology. But with this training in vedic beliefs 
he gets from the TMO he doesn't have a way of grading the knowledge for 
quality. There are only two types of explanation, good ones and bad ones. 
Consciousness in this context seems like a bad one because (like god) it 
actually explains nothing, adds nothing useful and in fact, adds a layer of 
complexity where it isn't needed because consciousness is a thing in this 
theory, a field of pure awareness and intelligence. All of these things imply a 
direction to creation and evolution that it doesn't seem to have. And it 
obviously requires another explanation beyond the equations describing quantum 
behaviour, and it would be an explanation along the lines of intelligence 
processing etc. Bit of a tall order for something we can't even measure!
 

 It's OK for John Hagelin to believe that this is the case but he shouldn't 
start his lectures without a major caveat to the effect that he's trying to fit 
what he knows of physics into an ancient belief system and that no one else 
agrees with him. Apart from the other yagya pedlars on the conference circuit 
obviously.

   OK, reading up on things, he's 8 years older than me, so an incident that 
happened 42 years ago would have made him in his mid-20s. Also, the incident 
was not with a 16-year-old he was dating with parent's knowledge, but with an 
11-year-old.
 

 That's pedaphilia, not merely dating a girl that's too young for him.
 

 It's interesting that the press is NOT calling it pedaphilia.

Oh My God. There really IS such a thing as a TM True Believer so lost in his

For the record, "srijau," the problem is NOT with how large Stephen Collins'

that his efforts for the David Lynch Foundation gave him unfettered access to

Sometimes I think that Maharishi's "greatest accomplishment" should be listed 
as having taken so many at-one-time-fairly-intelligent people and, over time,

Lawson, and others we see from time to time here on FFL. These people will 
believe *anything* if 1) they're told that Maharishi or some other Seller Of 
Woo Woo believed in it, and 2) it makes them feel more self-important and 
'special' for believing it. 

The stuff they believe doesn't need to be reasonable, it doesn't need to follow 
the laws of physics or chemistry, and it doesn't depend on any kind of 
evidence. In fact, when presented with evidence that proves their belief to be 
nonsense, they believe even more strongly. Truly an accomplishment...


Yes indeed, something to be proud of. 

The sad thing is that he (Maharishi) *would* actually be proud of it. He'd 
think of it as the triumph of faith. He'd smile and tell the story of 
Trotakacharya again.  :-) 


I first came across it when attending a "coherence" day at the local academy 
(where I later lived) we were in the garden on a starry night and looking 
around the night sky and I was pointing out various things of interest like 
which planets were which and how far the nearest galaxy is when this purusha 
guy turned to me and said "And just think it's all consciousness". What's 
troubling is it was said with an intimation that it was an improvement or a 
superior explanation to "just" thinking that the universe is made of energy and 
stuff.

It worries me because scientific and religious explanations don't mix very well 
but the quantum crowd think they've found a way of fitting the one into the 
other, or at least blinding people with enough abstract concepts so they think 
the two things belong together.

It does annoy me too because people, like John, seem genuinely interested in 
physics and the sort of things it explains really well and the amazing 
discoveries and concepts of cosmology. But with this training in vedic beliefs 
he gets from the TMO he doesn't have a way of grading the knowledge for 
quality. 

Exactly. The *only* measure of "quality" he seems to employ is "If it agrees 
with what I've been told to believe...then it is good, and correct." The most 
disturbing thing about John (jr_esq, not Hagelin, but him, too) is that they no 
longer even *realize* how non-scientific they've become when they spout what 
they now believe is "science." Put either of them in a room with real 
scientists and let them express the things they believe in, and the real 
scientists would have them pegged as crackpots within five minutes. After 20 
minutes, the real scientists would running for the door, so as not to be stuck 
in a room with a crazy person any longer. 

There are only two types of explanation, good ones and bad ones. Consciousness 
in this context seems like a bad one because (like god) it actually explains 
nothing, adds nothing useful and in fact, adds a layer of complexity where it 
isn't needed...

Exactly. Almost without exception, all of their theories about how the universe 
works are more complex than the real scientific explanations. It's like they've 
become proponents of the Anti-Occam's Razor Principle.

...because consciousness is a thing in this theory, a field of pure awareness 
and intelligence. All of these things imply a direction to creation and 
evolution that it doesn't seem to have. And it obviously requires another 
explanation beyond the equations describing quantum behaviour, and it would be 
an explanation along the lines of intelligence processing etc. Bit of a tall 
order for something we can't even measure!

It's OK for John Hagelin to believe that this is the case but he shouldn't 
start his lectures without a major caveat to the effect that he's trying to fit 
what he knows of physics into an ancient belief system and that no one else 
agrees with him. Apart from the other yagya pedlars on the conference circuit 
obviously.

In this sense, Hagelin is actually closer to the role that Charlie Lutes played 
within the TM movement than anything else. Charlie used to pepper his talks 
with all sorts of esoteric crap that he'd learned from his days studying 
Western Mysticism. Which would have been fine, except that he didn't *present* 
it that way. He implied that everything he was saying came from Maharishi, and 
was therefore part of Maharishi's teachings. Hagelin does the same thing with 
his own crackpot theories, presenting them as if they were real science, when 
they're not.

The thing I see in people like jr_esq, Jim, srijau, Share, and Nabby (not to 
mention Hagelin and Tony Nader) is that in their supposed "quest for knowledge" 
their minds seem to turn off the instant they hear (or think up) an 
"explanation" or conspiracy theory that makes them go "Woo." It's an 
emotional thang IMO. They "s

 S3, 

 That's a good question.  We may not get any message back at all since the 
radio waves are relatively slow in comparison to the large distances involved 
in the scale of the Milky Way and the entire universe.  Also, the earth-like 
planets near us may not have any advanced civilizations like ours.  Or, that 
their living beings are still in the microbial, plant or animal stages.
 

 My point is that, if there are any advanced human-like  civilizations in the 
Milk Way, they would be communicating with us telepathically or through lucid 
dreams.  For example, a few years ago, there was a psychic here on FFL who 
posted that he was able to communicate telepathically with another being from 
the Pleaides star system.  I believe Rick knows the guy who also lives in 
Fairfield, Iowa.
 

 OK, the first problem is: why would telepathic waves travel faster than light? 
Or rather, how could they travel faster than light? And that's forgetting the 
obvious question of brains being not all that strong compared to, say, Jodrell 
bank radio telescope! So the send/receive function is going to be a bit limited.
 

 The other big problem is that the Pleaides system is pretty much the last 
place you will find life in our galaxy, a bunch of very young white-hot 
supergiant stars. Life of any organic type aint happening there, or anywhere 
close. 
 

 That's typical of science, always spoiling people's fun. UFO contactees used 
to say they'd met beings from Venus or Mars until the harsh reality of the 
climate on those worlds drove their imaginary aliens away to the outer planets 
first and then on to more distant star systems. Not sure why the Pleaides got 
chosen as a home for the Space Brothers. They do look nice though, especially 
through a telescope as you can still see the blue nebulae that the stars formed 
out of.

 Yes, probably so, if the means of communication is through light or radio

 I enjoyed that moment in the movie Contact where the first TV signal that 
aliens would have received from Earth was Hitler's speech at the 1936 Olympics. 
The idea has since been dismissed by scientists as it seems that the 
transmission signal was very low powered so is unlikely to be picked out 
amongst all the background radiation in space.
 But what will their first Earth TV signal be? I Love Lucy? Baywatch? American 
Idol? 
 Perhaps the best hope is that it's some global warming/ecological doom-laden 
documentary so that the aliens conclude it's not worth wasting time invading 
our dying planet.
 

 

 As such, the speed of communication is limited by the speed of light.  But it 
is theoretically possible to contact ETs through telepathic means or lucid 
dreaming.
 

 Why?  Because consciousness pervades the entire universe.  So, communication 
through consciousness is faster than the speed of light.  IMO, the Srimad 
Bhagavatam has given us clues of this type of communication in the story 
relating to Urvasi, the heavenly apsara.  She supposedly can be found taking a 
bath in the region near the Pleiades, which is placed in beginning degrees of 
Taurus.
 

 From my experience, everyone--perhaps, more so for males--can see Urvasi 
through lucid dreaming when the Moon is transiting the 3rd quarter of Krittika 
nakshatra.  She appears as a beautiful female during a dream.

 If you believe that the universe is based in consciousness, 
 

 I don't. That's the problem, just "believing" stuff about the universe and

are true without any evidence is no way to go about learning what's going on.
 

 The idea that thoughts are entangled quantumly with the rest of the universe 
is nonsense, classical information -  that which can distinguish one thing from 
another -  cannot get entangled and therefore can't be transmitted.
 

 then our thoughts are somehow "entangled" in a quantum sense with the rest of

explanation beyond the equations describing quantum behaviour, and it would be 
an explanation along the lines of intelligence processing etc. Bit of a tall 
order for something we can't even measure!
 

 It's OK for John Hagelin to believe that this is the case but he shouldn't 
start his lectures without a major caveat to the effect that he's trying to fit 
what he knows of physics into an ancient belief system and that no one else 
agrees with him. Apart from the other yagya pedlars on the conference circuit

 I don't. That's the problem, just "believing" stuff about the universe and

 The idea that thoughts are entangled quantumly with the rest of the universe 
is nonsense, classical information -  that which can distinguish one thing from 
another -  cannot get entangled and therefore can't be transmitted.
 

 then our thoughts are somehow "entangled" in a quantum sense with the rest of 
the universe.  So, it is possible to communicate telepathically with other 
sentient beings instantaneously in our galaxy or with the rest of the universe.
 

 I'm sure that if it was possible we'd be able to do it here, probably wouldn't 
even need this internet thingy in the way. As it is we appear separate from 
each other.
 

 There used to be a question similar to the following:  if a tree fell in a 
forest of an earth-like planet 1,000 light years away from us, would it make a 
sound?  My answer is yes, because consciousnes is present there and everywhere 
else in the universe.  And, somehow our own consciousness is linked--or 
entangled--with that universel consciousness.
 

 I think you'll find that sound is pressure waves in the atmosphere, sure it 
needs our consciousness to interpret what is going on but it will make whatever 
sound it makes whether anyone is there or not. Or whether the universe is 
conscious or not.

 My point is that, if there are any advanced human-like  civilizations in the

the efficacy and benefits of of TM for EVERYONE. This gives people who know 
nothing about TM unreasonable expectations and sets them up for disappointment 
on many levels. 
 

 If one reads and listens to the hype about TM and TMSP the existence of a 
mental/emotional state that would lead one to be a child molester should not be 
possible in someone who has done TMSP for decades. Yet it happens. If the TMO 
billed TM for what it actually is, instead of what they claim for it, I would 
never say a word. 

 

 It is the fraud, the lies and the misuse of people that makes the TMO a 
fundamentally corrupt and disgusting organization. 

 

 And the meditation itself is mediocre - it is not the superlative better than 
any other technique, superior to all others the Movement does and Marshy did

   Good day lurking reporters, yes Stephen Collins, who has molested children, 
has been a TM advocate. So too has Father Gabriel Mejia been a TM advocate. And 
he has rescued hundreds of Columbian street children with TM central to his 
efforts.
 

 What reasonable conclusions can be drawn from these opposite stories? Perhaps 
that TM is a technique that can be of great benefit to some, and, on its own, 
not to others.
 

 From my own experience I'd say that TM is necessary for full psychological 
development. But in some cases, it is not sufficient. Nor is TM sufficient to 
heal a toothache. Or a broken finger. Or a floundering marriage. 

 

 Again, in my own experience, I'd say TM is perfect for preparing the ground 
for healing. And I think of it as my only spiritual practice. What I do to deal 
with my Attachment Disorder, those I think of as my healing modalities. They 
are complementary to my TM practice. But they could never replace it.

They have shifted into "shoot the messenger" mode. There is, after all, 
*nothing* they can say to "apologize away" one of the TMO's superstars being 
investigated for child molestation. So since they can't excuse it away, they'll

turq shows what a great master Maharishi was and is. The purpose of a master is 
to help the students see their delusions. Maharishi has explained that fear is 
the last negative emotion to go. From the Gita: certainly fear is borne of 
duality. 


As long as we feel separate from the world, we will feel fear, though maybe on 
a deep level. And then we humans attempt to feel safe. Mainly modern people try 
to feel safe by having figured out life. Even turq does this.

Women generally try to feel safe by feeling loved; men by being competent. It's 
from our cave days and hardwired into our noggins. Specialness is a subset of 
these. If the tribe chief "loves" us or if we're his right hand man, we'll get 
the best pieces of wooly mammouth. 


At any moment, even this one, we are all acting from some percentage of

then our thoughts are somehow "entangled" in a quantum sense with the rest of 
the universe.  So, it is possible to communicate telepathically with other 
sentient beings instantaneously in our galaxy or with the rest of the universe.

I'm sure that if it was possible we'd be able to do it here, probably wouldn't 
even need this internet thingy in the way. As it is we appear separate from 
each other.

There used to
be a question similar to the following:  if a tree fell in a forest of an 
earth-like planet 1,000 light years away from us, would it make a sound?  My 
answer is yes, because consciousnes is present there and everywhere else in the 
universe.  And, somehow our own consciousness is linked--or entangled--with 
that universel consciousness.


I think you'll find that sound is pressure waves in the atmosphere, sure it 
needs our consciousness to interpret what is going on but it will make whatever 
sound it makes whether anyone is there or not. Or whether the universe

 I think, when you are in touch with that level, it becomes a real challenge to

Good day lurking reporters, yes Stephen Collins, who has molested

a TM advocate. And he has rescued hundreds of Columbian street 
children with TM central to his efforts.


What reasonable conclusions can be drawn from these opposite stories?

From my own experience I'd say that TM is necessary for full

Nor is TM sufficient to heal a toothache. Or a broken finger. Or a

ground for healing. And I think of it as my only spiritual practice.

There are only two types of explanation, good ones and bad ones. 
Consciousness in this context seems like a bad one because (like god) 
it actually explains nothing, adds nothing useful and in fact, adds a 
layer of complexity where it isn't needed...


Exactly. Almost without exception, all of their theories about how the 
universe works are more complex than the real scientific explanations. 
It's like they've become proponents of the Anti-Occam's Razor Principle.


...because consciousness is a /thing/ in this theory, a field of pure 
awareness and intelligence. All of these things imply a direction to 
creation and evolution that it doesn't seem to have. And it obviously 
requires another explanation beyond the equations describing quantum 
behaviour, and it would be an explanation along the lines of 
intelligence processing etc. Bit of a tall order for something we 
can't even measure!


It's OK for John Hagelin to believe that this is the case but he 
shouldn't start his lectures without a major caveat to the effect that 
he's trying to fit what he knows of physics into an ancient belief 
system and that no one else agrees with him. Apart from the other 
yagya pedlars on the conference circuit obviously.


In this sense, Hagelin is actually closer to the role that Charlie 
Lutes played within the TM movement than anything else. Charlie used 
to pepper his talks with all sorts of esoteric crap that he'd learned

  I don't quite see the connection of how a man in his 20's who allegedly was

his connection to the TM movement is now and how that reflects badly on the 
movement. How does it all compute? Is it that some asshole pedophile eventually 
became a Hollywood actor and somehow became endorsed by the TM movement and has 
now been exposed 4 decades later as a pedophile therefore makes TM invalid or 
the movement suspect because they didn't know this guy had sexually abused 
young children 40 years ago and now they do and... I'm confused. What great 
revelation am I missing here? How does 4+7= 13?

 I have never known a person who accomplishes so little, while hungrily

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Are Aliens too Distant for Contact?

[Xenophaneros Anartaxius anartax...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

This is what Zen masters call 'selling water by the river'. We end up embroiled 
in a spiritual path because we think it will eliminate our dissatisfaction with 
life, but the dissatisfaction comes from the way we construe life to be. Life 
can indeed be horrible, and there are certain things that require courage and 
fortitude to get through. All that 'enlightenment' brings is the realisation 
that life is exactly the way it is and no other way, that it was always this 
way, before and during ones sojourn on 'the path', and that no other way is 
possible henceforth, and this eliminates seeking behaviour and a particular 
sort of non-object-oriented fulfilment results because the mind is not spinning 
its wheels over nonsense. Then you get to live the rest of your life without 
those pernicious ideas you acquired before and during your spiritual quest. 
There is still plenty to do or not do, depending on your inclination.

To quote the Vedantist James Swartz:

'If you can see that the question of freedom is due to a lack understanding, 
you will be open to a means of self knowledge. A means of self knowledge does 
not actually give you self knowledge, because everyone actually does know who 
they are... Unfortunately, there is usually a lack of clarity about the nature 
of the self, which impedes the full appreciation of it. This lack of clarity 
manifests as ill considered beliefs and opinions, particularly the belief that 
the self is limited. If you expose your mind to a ... means of self knowledge, 
it will patiently strip away these beliefs and clarity will return. When the 
last vestige of ignorance is removed, you will realize that you knew who you 
were all along. You will find it amusing that you went through so much seeking 
to find out what you already knew You are not getting something you do not 
have; you simply realize that what you sought so frantically you had all along. 
Enlightenment should be cause
 for embarrassment, not jubilation.'
> 
The above paragraph assumes that the 'means of self knowledge' will actually 
work. Sometimes it seems otherwise, especially when one is around spiritual 
types. It seems to me that 'masters' tend not to hang out together. Fraudulent 
masters perhaps do not want their con exposed, and real masters, who know what 
the real con is, really do not have anything to talk about with each other, 
because there is nothing at the end of the rainbow in this business. You end up 
where you started, with a net loss.

Yes indeed, something to be proud of. 

The sad thing is that he (Maharishi) *would* actually be proud of it. He'd 
think of it as the triumph of faith. He'd smile and tell the story of 
Trotakacharya again.  :-) 


I first came across it when attending a "coherence" day at the local academy 
(where I later lived) we were in the garden on a starry night and looking 
around the night sky and I was pointing out various things of interest like 
which planets were which and how far the nearest galaxy is when this purusha 
guy turned to me and said "And just think it's all consciousness". What's 
troubling is it was said with an intimation that it was an improvement or a 
superior explanation to "just" thinking that the universe is made of energy and 
stuff.

It worries me because scientific and religious explanations don't mix very well 
but the quantum crowd think they've found a way of fitting the one into the 
other, or at least blinding people with enough abstract concepts so they think 
the two things belong together.

It does annoy me too because people, like John, seem genuinely interested in 
physics and the sort of things it explains really well and the amazing 
discoveries and concepts of cosmology. But with this training in vedic beliefs 
he gets from the TMO he doesn't have a way of grading the knowledge for

Sometimes if I need to settle down in activity, I'll simply track my next five

During TM I fell asleep and awoke on the other side of deep sleep, it was pure

Richard, "Hell hath no fury..." The whole thing is a tragedy, plenty of human 
suffering to go around. It has me thinking about capital punishment. Do you 
think we should execute people who do certain crimes? Serial killers? Child 
rapists? Torturers? Are there some people who can never be rehabilitated? And 
how should that be determined? 


Collins need to make amends to those girls somehow, in some concrete way. And 
he needs to be incarcerated until rehabilitated.


OTOH, I definitely question his ex's motives. Plenty of wrong doing happening. 
And I keep thinking of what Jesus said: let he who is without sin cast the

You know Steve, it took others years to find his [Barry's]true 
character. Bob Price managed to find that out in just a few 
minutes time. Bob's so sharp, Uncle Tantra cannot face him.
Uncle Tantra's criticism is designed to be offensive in a 
sadistic sense.

And earlier:


Relax Steve, have you re-incarnated as Judy here?


OK, let's deal with YOUR issue, jedi_bungalow_bill.  

You posed the question to Steve, but isn't it JUST as applicable to you? Have 
YOU reincarnated as Judy?  

After
 all, wasn't it her act to try to provoke arguments, and if people 
didn't fall for the provocation, to then harass and stalk them and try 
to *taunt* them into replying to her, so she could eventually get the 
head-to-head argument she wanted? 

Well, I dealt with that by taking 
away from her what she really wanted -- a "captive audience" to yell at 
so she could try to (in her mind) hurt them. I just stopped bothering to
 read her posts. Based on her recent efforts, it may have worked...she 
sticks to facts and seems to have dropped the "If you don't respond by 
giving me the argument I want I'll say nastier and nastier things about 
you until you do" thang. Good deal, say I, and I wish her well with the 
new approach. 

Well,
 that's what Steve and Ann and Jim and Dan and Richard have been doing 
to me, too -- trying to run Judy's old routine. I won't pay any 
attention to them, and have
 in fact stopped reading their posts as well, and as far as I can tell 
from quotes of theirs I see in people's posts I *do* read, they've 
reacted by adopting Judy's old "bunny boiler" tactics:
 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzbVn9Xx3YM

 Why I'm bothering to spell this out is that YOU (jedi_spock, 
bungalow_blue_balls, or whoever you are this week) seem to be trying to 
run the same number. You've got your panties in a twist about me over 
something, and you seem to be trying to taunt me into having an argument with 
you so that you can get the twist out by yelling at me. 

Sorry...not
 gonna happen. *As* with Bob Price, who *several* people wrote off as a 
waste of time after his first abusive period here, and *as* with Dan 
Friedman, who others (including Judy) realized was a nut case during his
 first drive-by, if you keep up this 
trying-to-taunt-me-into-arguing-with-you routine you'll share the same 
fate. 

Life
 is just Too Fuckin' Short to waste it with pissants who are intent on 
turning everything into a battle. Allow me to spell it out for you: YOU 
ARE SIMPLY NOT INTERESTING ENOUGH FOR ME TO BOTHER ARGUING WITH. YOU

That's pedaphilia, not merely dating a girl that's too young for him.

It's interesting that the press is NOT calling it pedaphilia.

And how old is Collins?

When I was 21, I was dating 16-year-olds. Their parents were quite aware of our 
age difference, and were pleased that, immature as I was (to be dating a 
16-year-old at 21) I was still obviously a nice guy, unlike their last

Oh My God. There really IS such a thing as a TM True Believer so lost in his

invoking misogyny.

For the record, "srijau," the problem is NOT with how large Stephen Collins' 
banana is, but where he chose to stick it (an underaged girl), and the fact
that his efforts for the David Lynch Foundation gave him unfettered access to 
hundreds of similarly-aged girls. Even "male minds" should be able to get that.

To the Editor: 


I am sorry that Kurt Vonnegut “seemed sad” when Kurt Andersen met him in 1980; 
the experience appears to set the tone for Andersen’s 
dismissively elegiac view of Vonnegut’s work (“True to Character,” Oct. 28). He 
wonders if the reason he did not love Vonnegut’s later 
novels was that “I was no longer an adolescent” or that “the ’60s were 
long over” and adds, with mock regret, “Alas, for Vonnegut, the 
countercultural moment was short-lived.” 


Ironically, Vonnegut was really a counter-counterculture figure. He 
disrobed Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in a satiric essay for Esquire called 
“Yes, We Have No Nirvanas” and skewered transcendental meditation by 
citing a Western technique that achieves the same results — “reading 
short stories,” which Vonnegut called “Buddhist catnaps.”

Oh fer cryin' out loud, Ann, do I have to explain *everything* to you? It's 
really quite simple. The "Yoga Lite" that is TM didn't raise the transcendental 
kundalini bliss of the 4th chakra's sushumna, and thus, the Hiranyagarbha was 
not recognized. Because the Ved is timeless, it matters not when the heinous 
acts took place. Now, will you *please* stop being an apologist for TM and 
pedophilia? Thank you.

 My deepest and most humble apologies. I know I am dense and stubborn and my 
undying support for TM and now, apparently, pedophiles has become exposed here 
I must beg you to forgive me. I was afraid the truth would out and you are just 
the man to have accomplished this. Bananagramming has obviously kept you sharp, 
very keen. Now excuse me while I google a few words, the first being "sushumna".

You know Steve, it took others years to find his [Barry's] true 
character. Bob Price managed to find that out in just a few 
minutes time. Bob's so sharp, Uncle Tantra cannot face him.
Uncle Tantra's criticism is designed to be offensive in a 
sadistic sense.

And earlier:
 
Relax Steve, have you re-incarnated as Judy here?









OK, let's deal with YOUR issue, jedi_bungalow_bill.  

You posed the question to Steve, but isn't it JUST as applicable to you? Have 
YOU reincarnated as Judy?  

After all, wasn't it her act to try to provoke arguments, and if people didn't 
fall for the provocation, to then harass and stalk them and try to *taunt* them 
into replying to her, so she could eventually get the head-to-head argument she 
wanted? 

Well, I dealt with that by taking away from her what she really wanted -- a 
"captive audience" to yell at so she could try to (in her mind) hurt them. I 
just stopped bothering to read her posts. Based on her recent efforts, it may 
have worked...she sticks to facts and seems to have dropped the "If you don't 
respond by giving me the argument I want I'll say nastier and nastier things 
about you until you do" thang. Good deal, say I, and I wish her well with the 
new approach. 

Well, that's what Steve and Ann and Jim and Dan and Richard have been doing to 
me, too -- trying to run Judy's old routine. I won't pay any attention to them, 
and have in fact stopped reading their posts as well, and as far as I can tell 
from quotes of theirs I see in people's posts I *do* read, they've reacted by 
adopting Judy's old "bunny boiler" tactics:

 
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzbVn9Xx3YM 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzbVn9Xx3YM

  
Why I'm bothering to spell this out is that YOU (jedi_spock, 
bungalow_blue_balls, or whoever you are this week) seem to be trying to run the 
same number. You've got your panties in a twist about me over something, and 
you seem to be trying to taunt me into having an argument with you so that you 
can get the twist out by yelling at me. 

Sorry...not gonna happen. *As* with Bob Price, who *several* people wrote off 
as a waste of time after his first abusive period here, and *as* with Dan 
Friedman, who others (including Judy) realized was a nut case during his first 
drive-by, if you keep up this trying-to-taunt-me-into-arguing-with-you routine 
you'll share the same fate. 

Life is just Too Fuckin' Short to waste it with pissants who are intent on 
turning everything into a battle. Allow me to spell it out for you: YOU ARE 
SIMPLY NOT INTERESTING ENOUGH FOR ME TO BOTHER ARGUING WITH. YOU NEVER WILL BE, 
NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT ME. 

Now you know. Do with this information what you will...

...oh, and have a nice day.  :-)

He says a lot of things I've said over the years here on FFL and of

President we had was JFK and you saw what happened to him.  Since 
then every President when they take office gets a "come to Jesus" 
talk by the oligarchs who run the US. They tell the President how 
things are going to be and if they don't follow orders they will be 
assassinated. It is said the Jimmy Carter cried after getting the talk.


The best thing for Americans to do is be disobedient, disruptive 
until the oligarchs and the institutions they run fall.

[FairfieldLife] Guru Day, How to know Datta, the Adi Guru.

[netineti108]

As Thursday is Guru Day.. 

 Composed by His Holiness Sri Ganapathy Sachchidnananda Swamiji, who is 
Himself, Lord Datta. 

 Mantra Pramanam lyrics and tutorial at this site...

 Here is the meaning of this transformational bhajan(This is not a copy and 
paste;-)
 

 To know Datta, Mantras alone are the source. 
 He is the one to be known through the Mantras. Adore Datta who is the 
embodiment of Mantra.
 

 The letters of the Mantras constitute Datta's form. He is the protector of 
Mantras and the one who is illumined by the Mantras. Adore that Datta. 
 

 Lord Datta dwells in the seed letter DRAM.
 He is the destroyer of the poverty of his devotees. 
 He is the six-lettered Mantra (Datta shadakshari). 
 He is the bestower of wealth and instructor of Yoga. 
 Worship such Datta. 
 

 He can be known also through the eight lettered Datta Ashtakshari Mantra. 
 He is the healer of the disease called Samsara. 
 He illumines our heart with limitless bliss. 
 He is the presiding Deity of the twelve lettered Dvadasakshari Mantra.
  He is Blissfull and the Master of Yoga.
 Worship such Datta.

  
 The sixteen lettered shodashakshari Mantra represents Him.
  He is an emperor among Gurus.
  He is the bestower. He is the repository of emancipation. 
 He himself is Krishna and Hari. He appears intoxicated. 
 Pray to such Datta. 
 

 He is the granter of bliss. 
 He sometimes appears as an ascetic and sometimes as a boy and at some other 
times as a ghost or goblin. He is the ocean of pure knowledge. 
 He is the supreme Lord. 
 He is Saccidananda. 
 Worship that Datta. 
 

 Jai Guru Deva Datta

Mid 1980s.  But TM won't harm you that much unless you are a bit 
psychotic to begin with and you sure exhibit symptoms of anxiety here.  
Remember you are preaching mostly to the choir on FFL and even some of 
the TB'ers have problems with the money issues.

He says a lot of things I've said over the years here on FFL and of 
course have been "dissed" here by the "cool people."   The last real 
US President we had was JFK and you saw what happened to him.  Since 
then every President when they take office gets a "come to Jesus" 
talk by the oligarchs who run the US.  They tell the President how 
things are going to be and if they don't follow orders they will be 
assassinated. It is said the Jimmy Carter cried after getting the talk.


The best thing for Americans to do is be disobedient, disruptive 
until the oligarchs and the institutions they run fall.

everyone else elite (those who do TM and are superior and those who follow the

Oh fer cryin' out loud, Ann, do I have to explain *everything* to you? It's 
really quite simple. The "Yoga Lite" that is TM didn't raise the transcendental 
kundalini bliss of the 4th chakra's sushumna, and thus, the Hiranyagarbha was 
not recognized. Because the Ved is timeless, it matters not when the heinous 
acts took place. Now, will you *please* stop being an apologist for TM and 
pedophilia? Thank you.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Truth -- the bitterness untouched by TM

[Bhairitu noozg...@sbcglobal.net [FairfieldLife]]

That is because you are a lay person and hence have not done your 
homework.  I also taught TM but I also learned what is behind it and 
learned to teach other systems of meditation.  I've opined that giving 
goddess mantras may not be a good idea.  It is even contrary to 
ayurvedic uses of mantra meditation.  It was most likely done because 
westerners tend to be rajasic (or pitta).


I know many people who weren't adversely effected by TM or even TMSP but 
they too have moved on because TM fails to provide more or what they 
were looking for.  You cannot become an acharya in TM because Maharishi 
himself had not even achieved that level.  SBS didn't even give him a 
Swami title which is often granted even before achieving acharya.


And if I'm not mistaken you've not even been to India?  One trip there 
would help your understanding quite a bit.  It isn't really the "land of 
the Ved" as some here imagine.  It's more like Mexico in Asia. The 
majority of Hindus pay lip service to Hinduism.  Many do not practice 
even as high a morality as many of street westerners do.  In fact 
oppressed masses like that tend to be more materialistic because their 
survival is at risk (as soon American's survival will be).

[infor cwae infoc...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

I am the Director of Operations for the school meditation project in San 
Francisco that uses TM, where the students were found to be the happiest in the 
city. I would like to try and correct some misunderstandings that may have 
occurred as a result of certain comments made here recently. 

 1. There is a post that suggest we 'stole' couches from a one of the high 
schools we
worked in. 

This is incorrect. We
purchase used couches from outside sources, specifically for the Quiet Time 
program. We own
them.
 
2. That the windows and
doors in the rooms we used at a high school were papered over so that no one 
could
see in, and that the school had to remove the papering after we left.
 
A single door to a small
room was partially papered only during training sessions to reduce the
distraction from other students walking by during passing period. This paper
was taken down each day, and was not remaining after the meditation training
staff left the school.
 
3. That we had
been kicked out of at least 2 schools in SF since Jan of this year.
 
One school decided to
discontinue the Quiet Time program at the end of the spring semester due 
primarily to a vote from faculty regarding time constraints. There are
many schools throughout CA and nationally requesting the program, so we only 
work with those that are able to fit it into their schedule. After providing 
this to 7,000 students, teachers, parents and administrators for the last 7
years, we have had over a 90% program satisfaction rating. An extremely small
minority of parents, teachers and administrators have had issues with the 
program, usually
because of biases or misunderstandings.
 
4. That most of the
research referenced by the TM organization is "either bogus or deeply
flawed"
 
There are over 100
studies on TM published in reputable, peer reviewed scientific journals
indicating various positive mental and physical health effects. Research
has been done at Stanford, Harvard, University of California and other
reputable institutions. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has funded over
24M worth of research into TM and heart health. In order to be published in
peer reviewed journals or to be funded by the NIH, rigorous assessment is
performed by highly experienced scientists. If the research was bogus or deeply
flawed, the research would not be funded or published.

Thank you very much for this program! San Francisco is an amazing city and 
everything helps keep it that way. Please do not be overly concerned by some 
self-centered people here, just out to tear down TM, more in keeping with their 
unsuccessful lives.

  1. There is a post that suggest we 'stole' couches from a one of the high

 This is incorrect. We purchase used couches from outside sources, specifically 
for the Quiet Time program. We own them.
  
 2. That the windows and doors in the rooms we used at a high school were 
papered over so that no one could see in, and that the school had to remove the 
papering after we left.
  
 A single door to a small room was partially papered only during training 
sessions to reduce the distraction from other students walking by during 
passing period. This paper was taken down each day, and was not remaining after 
the meditation training staff left the school.
  
 3. That we had been kicked out of at least 2 schools in SF since Jan of this 
year.
  
 One school decided to discontinue the Quiet Time program at the end of the 
spring semester due primarily to a vote from faculty regarding time 
constraints. There are many schools throughout CA and nationally requesting the 
program, so we only work with those that are able to fit it into their 
schedule. After providing this to 7,000 students, teachers, parents and 
administrators for the last 7 years, we have had over a 90% program 
satisfaction rating. An extremely small minority of parents, teachers and 
administrators have had issues with the program, usually because of biases or 
misunderstandings.
  
 4. That most of the research referenced by the TM organization is "either 
bogus or deeply flawed"
  
 
 There are over 100 studies on TM published in reputable, peer reviewed 
scientific journals indicating various positive mental and physical health 
effects. Research has been done at Stanford, Harvard, University of California 
and other reputable institutions. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has 
funded over 24M worth of research into TM and heart health. In order to be 
published in peer reviewed journals or to be funded by the NIH, rigorous 
assessment is performed by highly experienced scientists. If the research was 
bogus or deeply flawed, the research would not be funded or published.

   For the record, when exactly did TMers develop such a "groupie mentality," 
willing to fall all over themselves gushing over some supposed celebrity who 
had once learned TM, and feeling more self-important *themselves*, as if some 
of the celebrity's greatness had rubbed off on *them* because this person had 
also once gathered up fruit, flowers and handkerchief and paid for a mantra?

 

 Buck is living in the distant past, and in an attempt to find a "TM 
spokesperson" to replace Stephen Collins is conveniently ignoring the fact that 
Kurt Vonnegut did not think as highly of Maharishi as he'd like you to believe. 

 

 From "The Gospel from Outer Space (Or, Yes We Have No Nirvanas)" --
 

 "Maharishi replied that any oppressed person could rise by practicing 
Transcendental Mediation. He would automatically do his job better, and the 
economy would pay him more, and then he could buy anything he wanted. He 
wouldn’t be oppressed anymore. In other words, he should quit bitching, begin 
to meditate, grasp his garters, and float into a commanding position in the 
marketplace, where transactions are always fair. 
 

 "And I opened my eyes, and I took a hard look at Maharishi. He hadn’t wafted 
me to India. He had sent me back to Schenectady, New York, where I used to be a 
public-relations man—years and years ago. That was where I had heard other 
euphoric men talk of the human condition in terms of switches and radios and 
the fairness of the marketplace. They, too, thought it was ridiculous for 
people to be unhappy, when there were so many simple things they could do to 
improve their lot. They, too, had Bachelor of Science degrees. Maharishi had 
come all the way from India to speak to the American people like a General 
Electric engineer." 
 

 Also, from a letter to the New York Times written by Vonnegut scholar Dan 
Wakefield after his death:

 

 To the Editor: 

 

 I am sorry that Kurt Vonnegut “seemed sad” when Kurt Andersen met him in 1980; 
the experience appears to set the tone for Andersen’s dismissively elegiac view 
of Vonnegut’s work (“True to Character,” 
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/28/books/review/kurt-vonneguts-letters.html Oct. 
28). He wonders if the reason he did not love Vonnegut’s later novels was that 
“I was no longer an adolescent” or that “the ’60s were long over” and adds, 
with mock regret, “Alas, for Vonnegut, the countercultural moment was 
short-lived.” 

 

 Ironically, Vonnegut was really a counter-counterculture figure. He disrobed 
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in a satiric essay for Esquire called “Yes, We Have No 
Nirvanas” and skewered transcendental meditation by citing a Western technique 
that achieves the same results — “reading short stories,” which Vonnegut called 
“Buddhist catnaps.”

And "Duveyoung": what was the novel you refer to? I've read a couple of Kurt's

 Sometimes I think that Maharishi's "greatest accomplishment" should be listed

Lawson, and others we see from time to time here on FFL. These people will 
believe *anything* if 1) they're told that Maharishi or some other Seller Of 
Woo Woo believed in it, and 2) it makes them feel more self-important and 
'special' for believing it. 
 

 The stuff they believe doesn't need to be reasonable, it doesn't need to 
follow the laws of physics or chemistry, and it doesn't depend on any kind of 
evidence. In fact, when presented with evidence that proves their belief to be 
nonsense, they believe even more strongly. Truly an accomplishment...

 

 Yes indeed, something to be proud of. 
 

 I first came across it when attending a "coherence" day at the local academy 
(where I later lived) we were in the garden on a starry night and looking 
around the night sky and I was pointing out various things of interest like 
which planets were which and how far the nearest galaxy is when this purusha 
guy turned to me and said "And just think it's all consciousness". What's 
troubling is it was said with an intimation that it was an improvement or a 
superior explanation to "just" thinking that the universe is made of energy and 
stuff.
 

 It worries me because scientific and religious explanations don't mix very 
well but the quantum crowd think they've found a way of fitting the one into 
the other, or at least blinding people with enough abstract concepts so they 
think the two things belong together.
 

 It does annoy me too because people, like John, seem genuinely interested in 
physics and the sort of things it explains really well and the amazing 
discoveries and concepts of cosmology. But with this training in vedic beliefs 
he gets from the TMO he doesn't have a way of grading the knowledge for 
quality. There are only two types of explanation, good ones and bad ones. 
Consciousness in this context seems like a bad one because (like god) it 
actually explains nothing, adds nothing useful and in fact, adds a layer of 
complexity where it isn't needed because consciousness is a thing in this 
theory, a field of pure awareness and intelligence. All of these things imply a 
direction to creation and evolution that it doesn't seem to have. And it 
obviously requires another explanation beyond the equations describing quantum 
behaviour, and it would be an explanation along the lines of intelligence 
processing etc. Bit of a tall order for something we can't even measure!
 

 It's OK for John Hagelin to believe that this is the case but he shouldn't 
start his lectures without a major caveat to the effect that he's trying to fit 
what he knows of physics into an ancient belief system and that no one else 
agrees with him. Apart from the other yagya pedlars on the conference circuit 
obviously.

 If you believe that the universe is based in consciousness, 
 

 I don't. That's the problem, just "believing" stuff about the universe and 
hoping you can find enough things to justify beliefs you have already decided 
are true without any evidence is no way to go about learning what's going on.
 

 The idea that thoughts are entangled quantumly with the rest of the universe 
is nonsense, classical information -  that which can distinguish one thing from 
another -  cannot get entangled and therefore can't be transmitted.
 

 then our thoughts are somehow "entangled" in a quantum sense with the rest of 
the universe.  So, it is possible to communicate telepathically with other 
sentient beings instantaneously in our galaxy or with the rest of the universe.
 

 I'm sure that if it was possible we'd be able to do it here, probably wouldn't

You know Steve, it took others years to find his [Barry's] true 
character. Bob Price managed to find that out in just a few 
minutes time. Bob's so sharp, Uncle Tantra cannot face him.
Uncle Tantra's criticism is designed to be offensive in a 
sadistic sense.

And earlier:
 
Relax Steve, have you re-incarnated as Judy here?









OK, let's deal with YOUR issue, jedi_bungalow_bill.  

You posed the question to Steve, but isn't it JUST as applicable to you? Have 
YOU reincarnated as Judy?  

After all, wasn't it her act to try to provoke arguments, and if people didn't 
fall for the provocation, to then harass and stalk them and try to *taunt* them 
into replying to her, so she could eventually get the head-to-head argument she 
wanted? 

Well, I dealt with that by taking away from her what she really wanted -- a 
"captive audience" to yell at so she could try to (in her mind) hurt them. I 
just stopped bothering to read her posts. Based on her recent efforts, it may 
have worked...she sticks to facts and seems to have dropped the "If you don't 
respond by giving me the argument I want I'll say nastier and nastier things 
about you until you do" thang. Good deal, say I, and I wish her well with the 
new approach. 

Well, that's what Steve and Ann and Jim and Dan and Richard have been doing to 
me, too -- trying to run Judy's old routine. I won't pay any attention to them, 
and have in fact stopped reading their posts as well, and as far as I can tell 
from quotes of theirs I see in people's posts I *do* read, they've reacted by 
adopting Judy's old "bunny boiler" tactics:

 
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzbVn9Xx3YM 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzbVn9Xx3YM

  
Why I'm bothering to spell this out is that YOU (jedi_spock, 
bungalow_blue_balls, or whoever you are this week) seem to be trying to run the 
same number. You've got your panties in a twist about me over something, and 
you seem to be trying to taunt me into having an argument with you so that you 
can get the twist out by yelling at me. 

Sorry...not gonna happen. *As* with Bob Price, who *several* people wrote off 
as a waste of time after his first abusive period here, and *as* with Dan 
Friedman, who others (including Judy) realized was a nut case during his first 
drive-by, if you keep up this trying-to-taunt-me-into-arguing-with-you routine 
you'll share the same fate. 

Life is just Too Fuckin' Short to waste it with pissants who are intent on 
turning everything into a battle. Allow me to spell it out for you: YOU ARE 
SIMPLY NOT INTERESTING ENOUGH FOR ME TO BOTHER ARGUING WITH. YOU NEVER WILL BE, 
NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT ME. 

Now you know. Do with this information what you will...

...oh, and have a nice day.  :-)

From "The Maharshi,, Sept/Oct 2014, page 5, "Hridaya", by Patrick Roberts.:
 .
 "When Palani Swami was dying, Sri Ramana sat with one hand on his head and one 
on hridaya [heart chakra]. Unfortunately, because he withdrew his hand from 
hridaya too soon, Pali was not liberated in his final moments and went to a 
higher world instead.  Sri Ramana did not repeat that mistake at his mother's 
deathbed, thereby ensuring that she was absorbed in Arunachala 
[Arunachala-Shiva]. When Valli the deer was dying, Bhagavan sat with her for an 
hour in the  same way, but he said there was no need for it with Lakshmi the 
cow.  She was already liberated"..

you may be correct about the couches, but I know you were ousted from both 
schools because of parental objections - I know the lady who spearheaded the 
movement against you. You are continuing the lies the Movement has perpetrated 
for decades. 


Come to South Carolina and see how far you get. I'll be waiting in the door of 
every school you attempt to get a foothold in. The Movement wants to create 
more revenue for itself and you are deluded if you think its anything else.

Barry, 

 You've just shown in this post that you are a Believer of whatever it is you 
think is right.  But you really have not proved that you are correct in your 
own belief.  Yet, you go on criticizing others for what you think is contrary 
to your belief.
 

 What's your deal, dude?  I think we have a good example of hypocrisy here in 
your taunts against those who don't agree with you.  It is also possible that 
you are a fundamentalist parading around as a non-theist--using your own 
nomenclature--or whatever best describes your agenda.

 The stuff they believe doesn't need to be reasonable, it doesn't need to 
follow the laws of physics or chemistry, and it doesn't depend on any kind of 
evidence. In fact, when presented with evidence that proves their belief to be 
nonsense, they believe even more strongly. Truly an accomplishment...

 Salyavin, 

 If you believe that the universe is based in consciousness, 
 

 I don't. That's the problem, just "believing" stuff about the universe and 
hoping you can find enough things to justify beliefs you have already decided 
are true without any evidence is no way to go about learning what's going on.
 

 The idea that thoughts are entangled quantumly with the rest of the universe 
is nonsense, classical information -  that which can distinguish one thing from 
another -  cannot get entangled and therefore can't be transmitted.
 

 then our thoughts are somehow "entangled" in a quantum sense with the rest of 
the universe.  So, it is possible to communicate telepathically with other 
sentient beings instantaneously in our galaxy or with the rest of the universe.
 

 I'm sure that if it was possible we'd be able to do it here, probably wouldn't 
even need this internet thingy in the way. As it is we appear separate from 
each other.
 

 There used to be a question similar to the following:  if a tree fell in a 
forest of an earth-like planet 1,000 light years away from us, would it make a 
sound?  My answer is yes, because consciousnes is present there and everywhere 
else in the universe.  And, somehow our own consciousness is linked--or 
entangled--with that universel consciousness.
 

 I think you'll find that sound is pressure waves in the atmosphere, sure it 
needs our consciousness to interpret what is going on but it will make whatever 
sound it makes whether anyone is there or not. Or whether the universe is 
conscious or not.

 S3, 

 That's a good question.  We may not get any message back at all since the 
radio waves are relatively slow in comparison to the large distances involved 
in the scale of the Milky Way and the entire universe.  Also, the earth-like 
planets near us may not have any advanced civilizations like ours.  Or, that 
their living beings are still in the microbial, plant or animal stages.
 

 My point is that, if there are any advanced human-like  civilizations in the 
Milk Way, they would be communicating with us telepathically or through lucid 
dreams.  For example, a few years ago, there was a psychic here on FFL who 
posted that he was able to communicate telepathically with another being from 
the Pleaides star system.  I believe Rick knows the guy who also lives in 
Fairfield, Iowa.
 

 OK, the first problem is: why would telepathic waves travel faster than light? 
Or rather, how could they travel faster than light? And that's forgetting the 
obvious question of brains being not all that strong compared to, say, Jodrell 
bank radio telescope! So the send/receive function is going to be a bit limited.
 

 The other big problem is that the Pleaides system is pretty much the last 
place you will find life in our galaxy, a bunch of very young white-hot 
supergiant stars. Life of any organic type aint happening there, or anywhere 
close. 
 

 That's typical of science, always spoiling people's fun. UFO contactees used 
to say they'd met beings from Venus or Mars until the harsh reality of the 
climate on those worlds drove their imaginary aliens away to the outer planets 
first and then on to more distant star systems. Not sure why the Pleaides got
