I just noticed that the folders I created in Yahoo Mail to store unread posts from the people actively stalking me -- Ann, Jim, Steve, and Richard -- were surprisingly empty. Maybe they've actually stopped posting their crap, I thought, so I checked the Post Count post and it shows that Richard is still the verbal diarrhea king and that the others still seem to be posting as much as always. So then I scrolled through the list of incoming posts on the Yahoo Groups reader (Neo), and their stuff seems to still be appearing there, too. It's just not getting to Yahoo Mail. Go figure. I'm just posting this to see whether Xeno (who created similar macros) or anyone else has noticed anomalies like this, creating a difference between what arrives on the FFL website and thus is visible in the Yahoo Groups reader (Neo), and what arrives in your email feed.

Yogananda was put on the Government watch-list and kept under surveillance. There was a war against him in the media. Sounds familiar.

[FairfieldLife] Movie mini-review: Interstellar
I'm still trying to decide whether I liked this movie or not. It was certainly a visual treat, once we got past the visions of Earth As Neo-Dustbowl About To Die and out into space. And as I'd heard, it was certainly chock full 'o homages to 2001, not the least of which is a spaceship-docking scene that really rocked the socks off of CGI state of the art. I guess my main reservation is that Christopher Nolan seems to have spent the lion's share of the movie trying to inspire in me a profound emotional reaction to the father-daughter story he spent so long developing, and none of that effort succeeded. If I was supposed to be all teary-eyed at the end, I wasn't. If I was supposed to be all inspired, I wasn't. And I can't really tell you why yet...I must ponder the film and think about it further and maybe I'll be able to come up with an answer. A minor part of the reason may have been that so many of the actors in the film -- Matthew McConaughey, Michael Caine, John Lithgow, Matt Damon, and others -- seemed to MUMBLE their way through the entire film. I found myself constantly having to look at the subtitles (which for me were in Dutch) to figure out what they were saying. Go figure. The basic black hole plot was pretty intelligent SciFi, with few completely cringeworthy moments, but if I have to make excuses for a SciFi movie that was trying so desperately to grab me emotionally by saying that nothing struck me as terribly awful scientifically, something is just not quite right. I'll keep pondering it and try to come up with some reasons for why I'm as underwhelmed as I am... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePbKGoIGAXY

I remember reading that a group of psychologists built one of those visual paradox box pictures that changes direction as you look at it, but they built it out of flourescent lights. The subjects spent a few minutes looking at it in a dark room until the switching started to take place, then the light was switched off and they found the glowing after-image on the retina still switched directions at the same speed it did when they were looking at the actual picture. Far out!

China and Japan have agreed to try to reduce tensions over a disputed chain of islands in the East China Sea. Beijing officials said a crisis management mechanism had been set up to prevent the situation from worsening. The strategically important islands, known as Diaoyu by China and Senkaku by Japan, are controlled by Japan. It is a diplomatic breakthrough which media reports say could lead to a meeting between Japanese PM Shinzo Abe and Chinese President Xi Jinping. The reports suggest they may meet on the sidelines of the Apec summit in Beijing next week. If it happens the meeting will be the first proper exchange between the two leaders since they came to power, in 2012 and 2013 respectively.

Here's part of it Barry. The other day, I thought to look at people's face book pages, that I had never looked at before. I saw yours and I saw Richards. On yours, there was a link. Just a one click link which then went to a bunch of pictures. And I noticed that those current pictures of you looked nothing like the picture you have of yourself posted on FFL, and truthfully, I felt a little sorry for ya, and just haven't been able to muster the usual annoyance to comment on the daily dumps you make on people here. I am sure that will change but right now, just can't do it. Now, go ahead into your usual faux outrage about imaginary stalking. This is what you show to the world, dude. Oh, and I guess that carried over to Michael, to some extent. He lives in a strange world. The world of the past, filled with all the old press releases of MMY, and the TMO. How can you really come down on a guy who seems to live for that? That will probably change for me too.

EmptyB, thanks for good advice. Hope you and your family are well and happy.
Now, just for fun, what do you think of the axiom: what is closest to the truth
lasts the longest. I've been ruminating on this ever since the phrase
sustainable spirituality popped into my head, maybe about a month ago. These
two concepts also are related to the meme of effortlessness, a concept I don't
think the desert fathers would have approved of!

Ann is a founding member of the MGC. She's proly been actively insidious since
highschool - after all, she repeats such behavior on FFL ad nauseum. However,
sheappears unaware that it reveals her hollowness. She offers no
originalcontent to FFL but rather critiques anyone who does. It's atestimony
to her meaningless unintelligence. This is what happens when someoneloses their
pretty and attractive façade and has to finally dependupon their vacuous
intellect. As for mood-making … avariety of these posters on FFL are mere
moodies - in this case shilling forthe TMO in one way or another. Very few can
carefully analyze MMY’s manystatements and claims about the “lineage of
masters” and compare them with the authenticteachings of this lineage. You
should proly give up theillusion of dialog with Ann. She isn’t the slightest
bit interested in what youhave to say. She only wants an opportunity to vomit
in your face. Wake up and smell the puke.

Ok, Ann, but just remember: if someone farts in a room, the best solution,
rather than farting in their direction, is to simply light a match. Speaking

I sharp mask pretty much all my pictures now, I find it addictive as it gives a superior look without anyone knowing what you've done, but didn't do that one. That was taken with my Lumix compact and I forgot to do any noise reduction at all which is fatal with small sensors. I've got a better version but I quite like the grain in that one actually, looks a bit Kodachromey I think. See, you have plenty of useful things to do, no need to mess around with metaphysics!

According to MMY's secretary at La Antilla TTC, many of the techniques taught by Yogananda were incorporated into the AoE program. For example, the /night-time siddhi float/ has been taught at Yogananda's Self Realization Fellowship since 1920. Yogananda taught /Kriya Yoga/ and other meditation practices, which he called /Self-realization/. http://www.yogananda.com.au/yogananda_life1.html /As a bright light shining in the midst of darkness, so was Yogananda's presence in this world. Such a great soul comes on earth only rarely, when there is a real need among men./ – HH Shankaracharya of Kanchipuram We took one of our first yoga courses as a correspondence course out of the Self Realization Fellowship, (SRF) and were later initiated when we moved to L.A. We were frequent visitors to lectures at the SRF Center and restaurant and visited the SRF Headquarters at Mt. Washington on two occasions. I remember one memorable visit at a weekend retreat in Encinitas while I was meditating: suddenly I realized a new meditation thechnique having to do with the kundalini rising up through the chakras. Later that year in San Francisco we took a hatha yoga course with Swami Kriyananda (J. Donald Walters) . /The Kriya Yogi mentally directs his life energy to revolve, upward and downward, around the six spinal centers (medullary, cervical, dorsal, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal plexuses) which correspond to the twelve astral signs of the zodiac, the symbolic Cosmic Man. One-half minute of revolution of energy around the sensitive spinal cord of man effects subtle progress in his evolution; that half-minute of Kriya equals one year of natural spiritual unfoldment./ - Paramahansa Yogananda Read more: *Paramahansa Yogananda* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yogananda *Autobiography of a Yogi* By Paramahansa Yogananda Self-Realization Fellowship, 2006 Amazon reviews: / //This is an unparalleled firsthand account of Paramhansa Yogananda and his teachings, written by one of his closest students.

Ann is a founding member of the MGC. She's proly been actively insidious since high school - after all, she repeats such behavior on FFL ad nauseum. However, she appears unaware that it reveals her hollowness. She offers no original content to FFL but rather critiques anyone who does. It's a testimony to her meaningless unintelligence. This is what happens when someone loses their pretty and attractive façade and has to finally depend upon their vacuous intellect. As for mood-making … a variety of these posters on FFL are mere moodies - in this case shilling for the TMO in one way or another. Very few can carefully analyze MMY’s many statements and claims about the “lineage of masters” and compare them with the authentic teachings of this lineage. You should proly give up the illusion of dialog with Ann. She isn’t the slightest bit interested in what you have to say. She only wants an opportunity to vomit in your face.

Don't get your hopes up. I have not been on FFL much lately, and I have not been accessing FFL by e-mail much. A check of e-mail shows 246 unread from Richard, and 107 unread by you out of 1587 unread mails. I have been spot reading on Neo, and have not done a 'mark all read' sweep of my e-mail for over a week. Normally I read the mails of Buck's 'apostate' list to see if an interesting discussion is in progress. It does seem Richard has slowed down a bit by the count.

[FairfieldLife] The Birth of the Hippies [1 Attachment]
We attended class and listened to Stephen Gaskin every Monday evening for several months back in 1970. He gave lectures at the Family Dog and hundreds of people would gather to get high and listen to his words of wisdom. Gaskin is the first person to explain to me what karma means. A few weeks later I was able to use that word in a sentence talking to Travis Rivers about the SF Oracle newspaper. Stephen Gaskin, R.I.P. This was the early days when if you had read Yogananda's book you were considered to be advanced spiritually. By then I was reading /Tibetan Yoga and Secret Doctrines/. Go figure. For those who were too young or weren't born yet, have you ever wondered what it would have been like to be in the first wave of hippies that crested in the late 1960s and early 70s? Here is a nice report: /Stephen Gaskin leads the Monday Night Class at the Family Dog in 1970 (Photo: Gerald Wheeler)/ http://www.tokeofthetown.com/2011/07/holy_hippies_book_tells_story_of_1971_pot-fueled_b.php

Go figure./ Let's see...between Curtis and I we've probably spent more time in meditation and on long rounding courses than you, we've probably spent more time in the same room with Maharishi than you, and we're on record as having had some remarkable subjective experiences during our time with TM. At least two of the people you characterize as being ignorant of spiritual experience because they're not gung-ho TM supporters have had extended personal experiences with enlightenment. You're lying, Doug. Not just to the audience here, but to yourself. We have had JUST as much (if not more...when was the last time YOU had an experience of enlightenment?) spiritual experience as you or anyone else here has. What you're upset about is that 1) we don't VALUE our experiences as being as important as you think they are, and ) we don't INTERPRET our experiences the way you do. Plus, Curtis and my experience spending many years around Maharishi and Salyavin's experience spending many years in and around the inner workings of the UK TM movement probably give us more hands on experience with movement bureaucracy than you have ever had, and that pretty much anyone else here other than Rick has ever had. You're just pissed off that we don't believe what we were told to believe, the way you do. It really is that simple. We learned to think for ourselves, something you've never managed to do, and you resent it. You're a lemming, and you're pissed off that we stepped out of the crowd running, running, running for that elusive goal you were told is right in front of you, and will appear any day now. I can appreciate that you guys can not see this and that you think instead that it is about you. -Buck OF COURSE it's about us, you dumb fuck. We are the ones you demonize...over and over and over and over and over and...well, you get the picture. And as Curtis points out, you *choose* to demonize us INSTEAD OF saying anything positive about the things you supposedly believe. WE challenge ideas, and you react by trying to demonize US. There is something essentially feeble-minded and pathetic about this...

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: There may be a God after all... :-)
No idea who that is, Jason...I don't DO Twitter. But it IS interesting to see how many people here are admitting that they're stalking me all over the Internet, looking for any morsel of information to obsess on, now that I don't read their posts or respond to their gotta get Barry posts. First Enlightened Jim admitted to having stalked me by finding not one, but two books to read about Rama so he could obsess about that, and then he admitted to having stalked me further to look for photos. Then he actually took one of those photos he found and added a caption to it to *prove* that he was stalking me...all while denying he was doing so. Ann admits to having read those books as well, and to having email discussions with her fellow stalkers discussing the best ways to get Barry. Her idol Judy Stein used to admit to having done the same thing. Now we've got Steve Sundur admitting that he's been doing the same thing below. This post that Jason is replying to must be his reaction to Salyavin and I wondering what *happened* to turn him from a somewhat intelligent person into a compulsive -- and rather petty -- stalker. I guess all of this is an attempt to show the rest of us Not having a life actually LOOKS like. :-) Whatever. I still find it fascinating that my Yahoo Mail doesn't display anything from any of the four stalkers any more. Nothing arrives for my macros to process and throw into the trash folders I had so carefully set up. Given that it's only happening with these four, I actually have to suspect that God (or some other similarly made-up invisible entity) is involved. :-) From: jason_gre...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife] FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, November 7, 2014 3:32 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: There may be a God after all... :-) I wonder who is this? https://twitter.com/TheWmolfieSmith --- steve.sundur@... wrote : Here's part of it Barry.

Share, don't take itseriously.
Ann is a founding member of the MGC. She's proly been actively insidious since
highschool - after all, she repeats such behavior on FFL ad nauseum. However,
sheappears unaware that it reveals her hollowness. She offers no
originalcontent to FFL but rather critiques anyone who does. It's atestimony
to her meaningless unintelligence. This is what happens when someoneloses their
pretty and attractive façade and has to finally dependupon their vacuous
intellect. As for mood-making … avariety of these posters on FFL are mere
moodies - in this case shilling forthe TMO in one way or another. Very few can
carefully analyze MMY’s manystatements and claims about the “lineage of
masters” and compare them with the authenticteachings of this lineage. You
should proly give up theillusion of dialog with Ann. She isn’t the slightest
bit interested in what youhave to say. She only wants an opportunity to vomit
in your face. Wake up and smell the puke.

And I noticed that those current pictures of you looked nothing like the

I am sure that will change but right now, just can't do it.
Now, go ahead into your usual faux outrage about imaginary stalking.
This is what you show to the world, dude.
Oh, and I guess that carried over to Michael, to some extent.
He lives in a strange world. The world of the past, filled with all the old
press releases of MMY, and the TMO.
How can you really come down on a guy who seems to live for that?
That will probably change for me too. (-:
It's true Steve. And you do have a heart, you're a genuinely nice guy who would
actually not want to harm the infirm or failing. And it really isn't bawee's
imagination or some trick of technology, I am ignoring him more and he's
noticed it, as is Jim and I am pretty sure we will both continue to do so
unless bawee actually has something new to say one of these years. But since
I'm skipping most of his posts now someone else will have to let me know if he
does. In the meantime, keep being the good man that you appear to be. God knows
(yes God (!) gasp) there are enough here who need to find in their hearts your

However, she appears unaware that it reveals her hollowness. She offers no original content to FFL but rather critiques anyone who does. It's a testimony to her meaningless unintelligence. This is what happens when someone loses their pretty and attractive façade and has to finally depend upon their vacuous intellect. As for mood-making … a variety of these posters on FFL are mere moodies - in this case shilling for the TMO in one way or another.

[Attachment(s) from Richard J. Williams included below] We attended
class and listened to Stephen Gaskin every Monday evening for several months
back in 1970. He gave lectures at the Family Dog and hundreds of people would
gather to get high and listen to his words of wisdom. Gaskin is the first
person to explain to me what karma means. A few weeks later I was able to use
that word in a sentence talking to Travis Rivers about the SF Oracle newspaper.
Stephen Gaskin, R.I.P.
This was the early days when if you had read Yogananda's book you were
considered to be advanced spiritually. By then I was reading Tibetan Yoga and
Secret Doctrines. Go figure. For those who were too young or weren't born yet,
have you ever wondered what it would have been like to be in the first wave of
hippies that crested in the late 1960s and early 70s? Here is a nice report:

The desktop is pretty much like Windows 7 except for the missing start menu, which as I said there are applications for. Win8 is more secure than previous versions. I am mostly using a few desktop apps on the tablet avoiding the regular touch interface apps because there is less control on what kind of data they are collecting, so I am getting used to tiny text and hitting tiny buttons on a 7-inch screen mostly using the desktop. I try to keep a small Internet footprint. As a touch tablet, I like the Nexus 7 but mine died - dropped it a couple of timea, but also a number of people had problems with the Nexus with Android OS updates that drained battery power or boot failure, which I experienced, so I don't know if the physical damage or problems with the OS is why mine will no longer boot. There is a third generation of the Nexus 7 due sometime. I do not use a smartphone and really do not like tiny screens, but 7-inch is good for me as it is still fairly easy to carry about but not too large, is about the size of a paperback book. If I plan to read books a lot, I will take a Kindle as the battery lasts much much longer, but I do use Kindle apps on Android and Windows. I have yet to uninstall the Windows crapware that comes with it, but the maker of the tablet did not install any of their own fortunately. If Microsoft gets it together, Win10 should be really good, they usually fuck up every alternate version and fix their major mistakes with the subsequent one. Win10 probably won't be out until at least the middle of 2015. My first Windows machine was a DOS Intel 386 machine to which I later added Windows 386 in the late 1980s. I was doing some work in the TMO at that time, and everyone was enamoured of the Macintosh, but Macs were pricey and there was certain software I wanted and there was not a whole lot for Macs at that time anyway. There is a new deadly malware for the Mac iOS around now called Lurker, and as Mac users tend to be security blind, will be interesting to see what happens. With a PC you know you have to attend to security all the time. The first things I loaded on the tablet were Internet security apps and apps to scan for software security holes.

Having seen the trailer I thought of the film as another one of Warner Brothers agenda movies. This may well not pan out for WB because people are getting a little sick of being manipulated by such movies. But there may be enough bored people to get a good turnout at the box office this weekend even if they don't like the movie. WB is in deep shit and having to lay off people. But that's nothing as it is happening to a lot of major corporations.

It was certainly a visual treat, once we got past the visions of Earth As Neo-Dustbowl About To Die and out into space. And as I'd heard, it was certainly chock full 'o homages to 2001, not the least of which is a spaceship-docking scene that really rocked the socks off of CGI state of the art. I guess my main reservation is that Christopher Nolan seems to have spent the lion's share of the movie trying to inspire in me a profound emotional reaction to the father-daughter story he spent so long developing, and none of that effort succeeded. If I was supposed to be all teary-eyed at the end, I wasn't. If I was supposed to be all inspired, I wasn't. And I can't really tell you why yet...I must ponder the film and think about it further and maybe I'll be able to come up with an answer. A minor part of the reason may have been that so many of the actors in the film -- Matthew McConaughey, Michael Caine, John Lithgow, Matt Damon, and others -- seemed to MUMBLE their way through the entire film. I found myself constantly having to look at the subtitles (which for me were in Dutch) to figure out what they were saying. Go figure. The basic black hole plot was pretty intelligent SciFi, with few completely cringeworthy moments, but if I have to make excuses for a SciFi movie that was trying so desperately to grab me emotionally by saying that nothing struck me as terribly awful scientifically, something is just not quite right.

I do not use a smartphone and really do not like tiny screens, but 7-inch is good for me as it is still fairly easy to carry about but not too large, is about the size of a paperback book. If I plan to read books a lot, I will take a Kindle as the battery lasts much much longer, but I do use Kindle apps on Android and Windows. I have yet to uninstall the Windows crapware that comes with it, but the maker of the tablet did not install any of their own fortunately. If Microsoft gets it together, Win10 should be really good, they usually fuck up every alternate version and fix their major mistakes with the subsequent one. Win10 probably won't be out until at least the middle of 2015. My first Windows machine was a DOS Intel 386 machine to which I later added Windows 386 in the late 1980s. I was doing some work in the TMO at that time, and everyone was enamoured of the Macintosh, but Macs were pricey and there was certain software I wanted and there was not a whole lot for Macs at that time anyway. There is a new deadly malware for the Mac iOS around now called Lurker, and as Mac users tend to be security blind, will be interesting to see what happens. With a PC you know you have to attend to security all the time. The first things I loaded on the tablet were Internet security apps and apps to scan for software security holes.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Movie mini-review: Interstellar
I've figured out one of the reasons I was not knocked out by the movie, BTW -- deus ex machina. Given the basic plot (which I will not reveal), the real lesson being taught in this film is that humans are pretty much fucked unless some unspecified someone/something (be it alien or theistic) provides a mystical Woo Woo way to save us. I think this is dumb, on pretty much all levels. It's like Nabby, waiting for Maitreya. It's a belief system that actually *prevents* humans from taking steps to save themselves.

This may well not pan out for WB because people are getting a little sick of being manipulated by such movies. But there may be enough bored people to get a good turnout at the box office this weekend even if they don't like the movie. WB is in deep shit and having to lay off people. But that's nothing as it is happening to a lot of major corporations. The foolish elite never learned the lessons that even Henry Ford knew that if you want to sell product the public better have money to buy it.

And as I'd heard, it was certainly chock full 'o homages to 2001, not the least of which is a spaceship-docking scene that really rocked the socks off of CGI state of the art. I guess my main reservation is that Christopher Nolan seems to have spent the lion's share of the movie trying to inspire in me a profound emotional reaction to the father-daughter story he spent so long developing, and none of that effort succeeded. If I was supposed to be all teary-eyed at the end, I wasn't. If I was supposed to be all inspired, I wasn't. And I can't really tell you why yet...I must ponder the film and think about it further and maybe I'll be able to come up with an answer. A minor part of the reason may have been that so many of the actors in the film -- Matthew McConaughey, Michael Caine, John Lithgow, Matt Damon, and others -- seemed to MUMBLE their way through the entire film. I found myself constantly having to look at the subtitles (which for me were in Dutch) to figure out what they were saying. Go figure. The basic black hole plot was pretty intelligent SciFi, with few completely cringeworthy moments, but if I have to make excuses for a SciFi movie that was trying so desperately to grab me emotionally by saying that nothing struck me as terribly awful scientifically, something is just not quite right. I'll keep pondering it and try to come up with some reasons for why I'm as underwhelmed as I am... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePbKGoIGAXY

Re: [FairfieldLife] The Birth of the Hippies
Orange Sunshine was pretty mellow, Owsley's Purple Haze was rather mind shattering and pure Sandoz very creepy. Psilocybin was hallucinogen without paranoia (LSD probably had that side effect due to stuff it was cut with). The drug I stayed away from was cocaine. I can thank Johnny Cash since he claimed it gave him a deviated septum and none us in my band wanted that. In 1970 I gave George Lucas a copy of Autobiography of a Yogi and he told me he was going to read it. Guess he did.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Speaking of Afterlives...
I did not read this book. Unfortunately I always read the one star reviews on Amazon.com first which usually reveals whether the author of the review is coherent or a raving maniac. A bad review reveals whether the author of the review, who does not like the book gives reasons for not liking it beyond simply not liking it or not understanding it. Review by 'I, too, was so very disappointed': I was in hopes I would love the book, but it was quite the contrary. I had an open mind while reading this book and I had anxiously awaited its arrival. I heard about the book and saw all of the 4 star ratings and thought it must be a good read. I have finished the book today and honestly, it was hard to get through. I am a Buddhist and I study Buddhism every day of my life. It seemed to me that Annie desperately longs for her dead brother and there were issues unresolved before his death and I think, (my own opinion, here) that she has created this way of thinking for her self preservation. I think it is possible he has spoken to her on some level, but not in such eloquent ways of speaking. It was hard for me to believe. Also, she said she takes Valium pills to help her sleep. Valium can cause delusional thinking, and all sorts of sporadic thinking, how do I know, I once used to take them but I had dreams of my dead father and my dead cousin and it was really kind of creepy, I figured it was the drugs doing that to my mind. I took myself off of any kind of man made drug and I am so grateful. When I got off the pill, I delved into Buddhism and that changed my life for the positive in every aspect of my life. I agree with the Little Rooster, who gave her review.

Namaste' Portion of a review by 'A paradoxical mess of conflicting ideas revealing the author's delusional state': If there is no judgement, no right and wrong, and the life we live on Earth is our own personal execution of inner lessons that must be learned (as is repeatedly claimed by Annie Kagan through her connection with 'Billy'), why did 'Billy' see fit to save Annie's best friend Tex from her drinking habit? Isn't a drinking habit part of a person's life? If a person chooses to drink to drown their sorrows, isn't that free will? Isn't that part of the lesson they're on Earth to learn? Why would Billy stage what you deemed to be an intervention and which I interpret as *interference* if, as Billy claimed, there is no right and wrong. This is a glaring problem because Billy - particularly toward the end of the book - presumably has access to sources of information beyond comprehension, and yet he makes a fundamental logical error here. He claims again and again that nothing we do on Earth is bad, and then identifies a drinking habit as bad, worthy of saving Tex from herself, over-arching the supposed free will message. Moreover, if death is merely a transition, why is it so vitally important that Billy prevent the death not only of Tex (from her worsening drinking habit) but also for Annie Kagan's ex-husband who would surely have died without Billy's intervention. How can human behaviour be neutral in all forms but still be wrong in some forms. Who is Billy - a self professed drug addict and alcoholic - to pass judgement on the habits of a living human being in any case? There are many such paradoxes in the book, all of which, I'm afraid, reveal the author to be either deluded, insane or extremely imaginative.

And the election we just had won't do anything to solve the problem. We had not much of any choice, just tweedle-dee and tweedle-dumber. I only voted on propositions which is sort of a direct though questionable form of Democracy. The questionable part is the public voting on complex propositions that only lawyers would understand and some that really need to be debated in the state assembly. I also voted on replacing members of the city council which appears to have rid itself of an opportunist. It's just that the large number of mail in ballots have yet to be counted a portion of which would have voted on the council positions and at last count there were only a few votes separating the two runner ups. The yuppie woman got enough votes to be re-elected leaving one chair up and between two candidates, one a former IT tech and the other a forensics manager. Either would do and I voted for both (and not for the yuppie).

Didn't read it, probably won't because he recommended it. I honestly think the guy's a psychopath, and try not to turn my attention much to things he's interested in. As for being there, I wasn't really deep into L.A. hippiedom. During my first L.A. days (1964-1969) I was primarily living out in Riverside, going to school out there. So we had our own hippie culture. It was hip enough that we got invited to parties in Laurel Canyon, but I never lived there. I do know enough, however, to point out that there were other hippie 'hoods, in places like Santa Monica Canyon and Malibu Canyon and Malibu itself. I actually hung more in those areas (or in beach towns South of L.A.) than I ever did Laurel Canyon.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Return of the Nerds, was There may be a God after all...
Richard, guess what? With my new computer, Neo shows every single post in
inbox. On old computer, it collapsed all posts of a thread into one mush. Gotta
go back next week to repair guy cuz he forgot to recover my Bookmarks...
Subject: [FairfieldLife] Return of the Nerds, was There may be a God after
all...
I bought a cheap 7-inch Windows tablet for US$100, and believe it or not, it
has the full Win8.1 desktop OS -- the world's cheapest Windows PC. I use it to
read news or books, and to scan FFL when I am out of my office.

Now this is funny - only nerds working on company time using a cheap Windows
tablet would be using Yahoo Mail to read a threaded message group. Go figure.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: The Phenomenology of Consciousness
The term trika mean three - that comes from the idea that there are three levels of consciousness: waking, dreaming, and sleeping; and a fourth called the Transcendental state of consciousness. Trika also means that there are three types of aspirants, so that there are three meditation techniques, one suitable for each person's level of spiritual ability./ 1. Sambhavopaya is the level at which the meditator has given up the bija mantra and resides in pure consciousness. This is the level of Vajrayana 'consciousness-only', which culminates in jivan-mukti, 'liberated while yet living'. 2. Saktopaya is the level where the aspirant uses a form of concentration, such as concentration on a particular thought or sound, like a bija mantra or a phrase. He or she must develop 'God Consciousness' by simply meditating on this thought. 3. Anavopaya is that means in which a sadhaka must develop higher consciousness by resorting to meditation on the breath, the inhalation and the exhalation - Pranayama and the recitation of prayers, supplications, bowing, and repeating mantras. /Reference: Kashmir Trika Foundation: http://www.kashmirtrika.org/default.asp/ /Read more:/ Subject: gauDapAdIya on the phenomenology of consciousness. /Author: willytex Newsgroups: alt.meditation.transcendental Date: Dec 17, 2002 http://tinyurl.com/2umdf8x/ Work cited: *A Critical Survey of Indian Philosophy* /by Chandrahar Sharma, M.A., D.

The Vedanta doctrine contends that there is only one ultimate reality which never changes; therefore the manifest world is an *appearance* only. Kashmir Saivism contends that there is only one reality, but it has two aspects; therefore the manifestation is real. This is based on the argument that the effect cannot be different from its cause. According to Theos Bernard, Kashmir Saivism teaches that consciousness alternates between two phases, rest and action.

The Raiders attract certain type of personalities, which include John Madden, Tiger Woods and many other celebrities. It's all part of Americana, the experience of the NFL. But it's puzzling why this team has had a streak of bad luck which started after their appearance in the Super Bowl of 2001. The organization may be experiencing the period of a malefic Saturn which lasts for 19 years of suffering. During this period, it's lost the team owner, a string of coaches and quarterbacks.
