Re: [FairfieldLife] I think former TM teachers fear the C word because of the D word

2015-05-29 Thread rich...@rwilliams.us [FairfieldLife]

It probably should be noted that the only TM Teacher posting to FFL that
uses the "C" word is Barry, who used that word at least 1000 times this
year alone. Go figure.

Quoting "TurquoiseBee turquoi...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]"
:


Here's my theory, which is mine.

I have long noticed the vehemence and exaggerated outrage with which
long-term TMers (and especially current or former TM teachers) react
to having  the C word aimed in their direction. This is curious,
because many of them use the C word all the time to describe *other*
organizations that they see as "competing" with TM, as in "Sure,
Scientology is a cult because of its weird beliefs about alien
overlords bringing humans to Earth in space ships and then dropping
them in volcanos, but when we talk about the Vedic gods and how
*they* created the Earth, we're being rational." But the moment that
term is applied to TMers -- or horror!, to themselves -- they flip
out and go crazy.

I think that this *consistent* overreaction to the C word is because
most of these former TM teachers' minds are still controlled by the D
word.

The D word started being a big thing in their lives shortly after
they returned from their TM Teacher Training Course. On that course,
they had learned the things they were supposed to say in intro
lectures, primary among which was, "TM is not in any way religious."
But also on that course, they had learned the puja, along with its
English translation, so they clearly knew not only *that* they were
bowing down to Hindu gods every time they performed it, they actually
knew these gods' *names*.

So now the course is over, and they're giving their first intro
lecture and someone asks, "Is TM a religion?" And they look at the
person asking the question and they say "No. Absolutely not." And
then they repeat the rest of the stock phrases they were taught to
parrot whenever this question comes up.

Bingo -- the D word. DENIAL. It's *not* IMO as if these people are
actually *lying*. They've just learned to compartmentalize things
such that when they say "TM is not religious" they manage to DENY
what they know from the translation of the puja, that it is
*definitely* religious in nature. And the more often they stand up in
public and experience this level of DENIAL of what they really know,
and "tell stories" that some part of them *knows* isn't true, the
more cognitive dissonance they feel,  and the more guilty that part
of them feels about lying.

That GUILT is what I think gets triggered when they hear the C word
applied to them. Part of them bristles, because being considered a
cultist just doesn't "fit" with how they see themselves. But another
part of them -- the part that lied so easily and so smoothly so many
times during intro lectures -- realizes that this lying and this
level of denial IS part and parcel of being a cultist, so they feel
guilty. And that's why they lash out...they *hate* feeling guilty.
They want to feel special, and superior, and above all *better* than
these people who consider them to be cultists. But that feeling, too
marks them as cultists.

So that's my theory. It's *just* a theory. I am not presenting it as
if it's Truth. So if it pushes your buttons and makes you angry, you
might just want to spend a few minutes trying to figure out why.
Either that, or you could just stick with being angry and lashing
out, and remain stuck in denial.

I watched the first video.  Don't have time for the second but it looks 
like telomeres are an indicator. What I mentioned is how the body slows 
down it's aging by cooling down.  And if you nourish it properly the 
body regenerates including brain cells which until recently weren't 
thought to regenerate.  I still think science is poking around in the 
dark as to how the brain works.  It would confound them but the brain 
may be nothing more than a communications device and memory really is 
stored in the akashic record.  That might explain a few things like 
people still functioning normally after losing a part of their brain.  
It may have a lot of redundancy built it.

    Let me agree with you for a moment. I also recognize the TMO as a cult, a 
dirty, sneaky little cult, hell bent on controlling your every thought and how 
you perceive them. I also believe the average TB is also in denial about that 
cult status. However, I don't recognize TM as a religion, although M. said at 
the end of my Age of Enlightenment course that this ( Age of Enlightenment 
Program) should be your religion. I recognized that as metaphoric speech. TM is 
no more a religion than fasting is a religion. Yeah, yeah, the puja  wreaks of 
Hinduism and M tried to explain it away but one doesn't *practice* the puja 
unless you are a TB and believe all that crap. I find M's explanations to be 
far more truthful and sincere from his early days when he described TM as a 
tool that could benefit any religion and it's adherents . The same could be 
said of fasting. It's purely mechanical and doesn't require belief, faith or 
indoctrination. So, is my view the product of brainwashing? No, I don't think 
so. I can accept, as universal truths, much of what M originally taught. I just 
don't buy the whole thing, hook, line and sinker. The mark of a good master is 
to inspire the devotee to push on through the desert. The carrot dangling from 
the end of a stick can motivate many , for a while, maybe long enough to get to

People who try strict vegetarian diets like a vegan diet often feel good 
for awhile, maybe as long as a year or two.  But after a while their 
health often degrades unless for some reason they are set up for it 
genetically, such as ancestors who were from tropical countries.  We 
each have a genetic makeup that determines what we need to eat and how 
we adapt to changing seasons as well as changing locations.


Some health practitioners will use a vegetarian diet as a brief 
cleansing diet or a brief low carb high protein diet for a toning diet.  
If I do a low carb diet these days I become morose.  Eat some carbs and 
it goes away immediately.


I have always been a fan biochemical individuality ever since an ND told 
me that I couldn't be a vegetarian because I get anemic too easily.  I 
shared a house in the late 1970s with a TM teacher who would come home 
mid afternoon and crash.  He was a big guy who was trying to subsist on 
a vegetarian diet.  A year or two later he married and he and his wife 
got into metabolic typing through a friend who now runs that 
organization.  He was told he couldn't be a vegetarian as his genetics 
required some animal protein in his diet.  His wife, however, was the 
opposite and could subsist on a lighter diet though not strictly vegetarian.


I got into it too but couldn't keep up the cost of the supplements.  I 
had also read of Dr. George Watson's similar work.  He was a researcher 
at USC that tested how people experienced smells differently.  He found 
it was tied to their metabolism.  People with slow metabolisms seemed 
smell things differently than those with fast metabolisms.  He developed 
an inexpensive odor test for that.  I would often test as a slightly 
slow oxidizer.  He also provided inexpensive supplements for those 
types.  Eventually metabolic typing integrated his work too.


These concepts correspond with ayurveda as well as the concepts of yin 
and yang. Diet is not an ideology.


As for aging, our bodies are like cars.  They can run too hot which will 
cause problems and they can run too cold.  In general a vast amount of 
the public runs too hot, dries them out, thus making them age.  
Mediation can cool them them down as well as a change in diet.  It isn't 
that they need to be vegetarian but they probably don't need to be 
eating meat at every meal as most Americans do.

"something or other."  I think we discussed this point some weeks ago. a single 
photon of light likely, on the basis of experiment, can affect the retina of 
the eye, but it is not an event the becomes conscious because the impulse does 
not get any further than this in the nervous system.  
I used "dark-conditioned retina" which I believe DOES send a full message to 
the brain about a single photon, but one or a dozen, so what?  The evidence is 
that a very small amount of light can be registered in consciousness -- which 
could be a tipping point experience.  EMPHASIS ON "COULD."  The issue is 
whether such an event in consciousness could be some sort of keystone in an 
upside down pyramid -- we know the concept "tipping point" is valid, and we 
know the infant is "brand new" and ready for "imprinting like a baby bird" 
MAYBE.  See the word "maybe" there?
Yes, but belief is not evidence. And the evidence of the experiments shows that 
while it is likely a single photon could affect the retina, considerably more 
photons are required for the signal to get sent from the retina further up the 
processing chain. There is a difference between a 'small amount of light' and a 
single photon. So far there has never been an experimental result where a 
single photon was noticed. In fact scientifically 'an event in consciousness' 
is undefined because there is no scientific definition of consciousness.

I am aware of the 'tipping point' concept (the writings of Malcolm Gladwell), 
but if there is no evidence that a single photon can have effects to the extent 
you would like to believe. You seem to be looking for some frail excuse to have 
jyotish somehow work even when your own experience demonstrates it failed.
Now if you had an infant just at birth, don't you think all the activity 
surrounded by the birth would have a much much larger impact on the child's 
experience? We encounter things all life long that appear to tip us in one 
direction or another. And many things that have more mass and energy than a 
single photon impact us everyday so looking for the tiniest, least effective 
impact to be the tipping point seems like a wasted opportunity and clearly on 
the borderlands of irrationality.
Of course, it's hard to imagine a research scenario that could measure such 
thing.  But I mention this as a viable concept for this discussion, because of 
the research on the "dirty water that is purified by radiation" -- "purified" 
means anything-not-water gets separated out.  I'll link below to the research, 
as I have done several times here at FFL, 
You did not link to the research, you linked to a YouTube video. That is not 
scientific research. Pollack supposedly published this research in a low 
quality on-line journal called Water, but it turns out, what was uploaded was 
not a scientific paper, but a page listing the table of contents of his book, 
purchasable elsewhere. So no published research at all, just advertising. This 
is the abstract for the article, which is not an abstract for research but a 
sales pitch:

So what? Do I need to do a Steve-Martin-EXCUSE ME? for using "research?"  Give 
me a  break -- it's clear  that the "error" you underline is not germane to the 
discussion -- do you admit this?  Are you not just a little bit happy to get in 
here and show me up as a less-than-top-notch-thinker?  Aand, if I'm not 
top-notch, who the fuck are you to try to rub my nose in it?  Is someone 
smarter than you chafing your ass and I'm the only one you can take it out on?  
Do you go around besting children at trivia games or what?  Your attitude 
belongs on a PhD orals-exam -- not here at FFL for Christ's sake.
You seem to be attracted to bad science. If you are using 'research' to support 
your contention, then certainly it is germane to the discussion. In the manner 
of your reply you seem to be underlining the words 'less-than-top-notch 
thinker' with a broad brush. We do have such conversations on FFL all the time. 
You are just not here very often.

 The video shows that research was done and that there's probably some 
paperwork to back it up.  Did I say I have PROOF?  The video SUGGESTS that 
light somehow helps water to purify.  It shows actual experiments being

I wish it were true, but it isn't. I think the current wave of New Age-y froo 
froo woo woo with all its talk of a golden age, and age of enlightenment is 
just one in a long line of spiritualist movement that always says the same 
thing: the world is about to be a better more enlightened, spiritual place 
where all things will be hunky dory. The last one was in the late 1800's - 
early 1900's with the Theosophical Society and others like it. Things quieted 
down during WWII and started gearing up in the late 60's. The current spate of 
spiritual crap-ola will result in the same amount of enlightenment the New 
Thought and ascended master crap of the early 1900's have produced.

having heard a word about it before. The blurb on the IMDB didn't 
tell me much about it when I looked it up, but I figured WTF...I 
should give it a chance. Good call.


"Mr. Robot" is really remarkably good. It's the first nerd/computer 
science-based TV show that has really made me want to watch it. For 
the nerds, the IT/nerd stuff is very good, using real nerdspeak and 
real technologies. But it's the writing and characterization that 
makes this show stand out for me, combined with spooky direction that 
really grabs you and puts you inside the head of the protagonist.


And that's a somewhat scary and uncomfortable place to be, because 
the narrator and protagonist of the series is Elliot, a borderline 
psychopath with diagnosed anti-social disorder who self-medicates 
with morphine and hacks into the cyber-universe of pretty much anyone 
he wants to. He's certifiable, and we're inside his head. Elliot is 
so distanced from the world he's almost autistic, but he's a 
brilliant coder, so in his Day Job he's on the staff of a computer 
security firm, and at night he turns into a Robin Hood-like white hat 
hacker.


Rami Malek is tremendous at capturing all of this. And "all of this" 
is just the background stuff that goes down in this pilot episode 
before Elliot gets approached by Mr. Robot. Played by Christian 
Slater, he's an anarchist who has his own group of uber-hackers and 
wants Elliot to come on board and join the Revolution. He makes 
Elliot the proverbial offer he can't refuse: "What if you could set 
in motion the largest revolution the world will ever see – the single 
biggest incident of wealth redistribution in history?"


To cut to the chase, I really *like* this series. It's gritty and 
netherworldish like early William Gibson, and I haven't been so 
quickly grabbed by a new set of characters in quite some time. I 
finished the pilot looking forward to future episodes. Unfortunately, 
that seems to mean waiting until the end of June, when the show is 
due to air on the USA network. Here's the first few minutes, but the 
full pilot is widely available on the Net, so you can watch it for 
free if you're interested. I give it a big Thumbs-Up. /*

 Here I am, happy as Larry after eating my breakfast of smoked kippers on 
toast, and I was wondering if your predilection for vegetarian vittles was in 
place before you became a Citizen of the Age of Enlightenment, or did you have 
an epiphany after you began to transcend?
 

 I was a very strict vegetablarian from an early age but lapsed a bit for a 
couple of years due to travelling and not being able to find veggie stuff in 
distant rural areas - and finding myself quite partial to a bit of goat.
 

 I got back into it when I learned TM as it made me more aware and 
self-critical of how I was living.
 
Also, how does afternoon program fit in with afternoon tea in Rendlesham and 
Skelmersdale?
  
 It fits in just fine. In fact it's always been a movement tradition here to 
have tea on the lawn before the evening prog. Nothing too heavy. jut a few 
scones with jam. Yum...

no more a religion than fasting is a religion. Yeah, yeah, the puja  wreaks of 
Hinduism and M tried to explain it away but one doesn't *practice* the puja 
unless you are a TB and believe all that crap. I find M's explanations to be 
far more truthful and sincere from his early days when he described TM as a 
tool that could benefit any religion and it's adherents . The same could be 
said of fasting. It's purely mechanical and doesn't require belief, faith or 
indoctrination. So, is my view the product of brainwashing? No, I don't think 
so. I can accept, as universal truths, much of what M originally taught. I just 
don't buy the whole thing, hook, line and sinker. The mark of a good master is

    Here's my theory, which is mine. 

I have long noticed the vehemence and exaggerated outrage with which long-term 
TMers (and especially current or former TM teachers) react to having  the C 
word aimed in their direction. This is curious, because many of them use the C 
word all the time to describe *other* organizations that they see as 
"competing" with TM, as in "Sure, Scientology is a cult because of its weird 
beliefs about alien overlords bringing humans to Earth in space ships and then 
dropping them in volcanos, but when we talk about the Vedic gods and how *they* 
created the Earth, we're being rational." But the moment that term is applied 
to TMers -- or horror!, to themselves -- they flip out and go crazy. 

I think that this *consistent* overreaction to the C word is because most of 
these former TM teachers' minds are still controlled by the D word. 

The D word started being a big thing in their lives shortly after they returned 
from their TM Teacher Training Course. On that course, they had learned the 
things they were supposed to say in intro lectures, primary among which was, 
"TM is not in any way religious." But also on that course, they had learned the 
puja, along with its English translation, so they clearly knew not only *that* 
they were bowing down to Hindu gods every time they performed it, they actually 
knew these gods' *names*. 

So now the course is over, and they're giving their first intro lecture and 
someone asks, "Is TM a religion?" And they look at the person asking the 
question and they say "No. Absolutely not." And then they repeat the rest of 
the stock phrases they were taught to parrot whenever this question comes up. 

Bingo -- the D word. DENIAL. It's *not* IMO as if these people are actually 
*lying*. They've just learned to compartmentalize things such that when they 
say "TM is not religious" they manage to DENY what they know from the 
translation of the puja, that it is *definitely* religious in nature. And the 
more often they stand up in public and experience this level of DENIAL of what 
they really know, and "tell stories" that some part of them *knows* isn't true, 
the more cognitive dissonance they feel,  and the more guilty that part of them 
feels about lying. 

That GUILT is what I think gets triggered when they hear the C word applied to 
them. Part of them bristles, because being considered a cultist just doesn't 
"fit" with how they see themselves. But another part of them -- the part that 
lied so easily and so smoothly so many times during intro lectures -- realizes 
that this lying and this level of denial IS part and parcel of being a cultist, 
so they feel guilty. And that's why they lash out...they *hate* feeling guilty. 
They want to feel special, and superior, and above all *better* than these 
people who consider them to be cultists. But that feeling, too marks them as

[FairfieldLife] Culinary Question for Sal

2015-05-29 Thread Michael Jackson mjackso...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]
All right Sal? 

Here I am, happy as Larry after eating my breakfast of smoked kippers on toast, 
and I was wondering if your predilection for vegetarian vittles was in place 
before you became a Citizen of the Age of Enlightenment, or did you have an 
epiphany after you began to transcend?
Also, how does afternoon program fit in with afternoon tea in Rendlesham and 
Skelmersdale?

You are right - lots of activity. Some years ago, mom went with my sister and 
four of her friends to Italy. All of mom's companions bitched that they 
couldn't keep up with her walking up and down the hills when they went 
sightseeing. Her outdoor activity is limited these days cause she spends most 
of her time taking care of her husband who is in his 11 year of Alzheimers.

    My Great Grandfather had PTSD from being shot a couple times during the 
civil war and being taken prisoner, along with all the other trauma the average 
confederate soldier went through. He lived to be 88, as did most of his 
children, and grand children, 88 or better. No TM and ate your typical southern 
diet as your mother does. Clean living, moderation of diet and lots of 
activity. Keep moving. Now if you walk anywhere, it's on a tread mill.

[FairfieldLife] I think former TM teachers fear the C word because of the D word

2015-05-29 Thread TurquoiseBee turquoi...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]
Here's my theory, which is mine. 

I have long noticed the vehemence and exaggerated outrage with which long-term 
TMers (and especially current or former TM teachers) react to having  the C 
word aimed in their direction. This is curious, because many of them use the C 
word all the time to describe *other* organizations that they see as 
"competing" with TM, as in "Sure, Scientology is a cult because of its weird 
beliefs about alien overlords bringing humans to Earth in space ships and then 
dropping them in volcanos, but when we talk about the Vedic gods and how *they* 
created the Earth, we're being rational." But the moment that term is applied 
to TMers -- or horror!, to themselves -- they flip out and go crazy. 

I think that this *consistent* overreaction to the C word is because most of 
these former TM teachers' minds are still controlled by the D word. 

The D word started being a big thing in their lives shortly after they returned 
from their TM Teacher Training Course. On that course, they had learned the 
things they were supposed to say in intro lectures, primary among which was, 
"TM is not in any way religious." But also on that course, they had learned the 
puja, along with its English translation, so they clearly knew not only *that* 
they were bowing down to Hindu gods every time they performed it, they actually 
knew these gods' *names*. 

So now the course is over, and they're giving their first intro lecture and 
someone asks, "Is TM a religion?" And they look at the person asking the 
question and they say "No. Absolutely not." And then they repeat the rest of 
the stock phrases they were taught to parrot whenever this question comes up. 

Bingo -- the D word. DENIAL. It's *not* IMO as if these people are actually 
*lying*. They've just learned to compartmentalize things such that when they 
say "TM is not religious" they manage to DENY what they know from the 
translation of the puja, that it is *definitely* religious in nature. And the 
more often they stand up in public and experience this level of DENIAL of what 
they really know, and "tell stories" that some part of them *knows* isn't true, 
the more cognitive dissonance they feel,  and the more guilty that part of them 
feels about lying. 

That GUILT is what I think gets triggered when they hear the C word applied to 
them. Part of them bristles, because being considered a cultist just doesn't 
"fit" with how they see themselves. But another part of them -- the part that 
lied so easily and so smoothly so many times during intro lectures -- realizes 
that this lying and this level of denial IS part and parcel of being a cultist, 
so they feel guilty. And that's why they lash out...they *hate* feeling guilty. 
They want to feel special, and superior, and above all *better* than these 
people who consider them to be cultists. But that feeling, too marks them as 
cultists. 

So that's my theory. It's *just* a theory. I am not presenting it as if it's 
Truth. So if it pushes your buttons and makes you angry, you might just want to 
spend a few minutes trying to figure out why. Either that, or you could just 
stick with being angry and lashing out, and remain stuck in denial.

Interesting study/article. Now what we need to do is use this sleep-unlearning 
technique on long-term TMers to see if we can remove that implicit bias they 
have developed that causes them to perceive anyone who isn't a gung-ho TMer as 
an enemy who is attacking them. 

  From: salyavin808 
    
What else could we do once we've mastered the technology? Who watches the 
watcher?In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, the overlords use “sleep teaching” 
to condition children to submit to their sinister moral values. Now scientists 
have found a more noble purpose for the technique in a study that suggests 
deep-rooted biases about race and gender could be “unlearnt” during a short 
nap.The findings appear to confirm the idea that sleeping provides a unique 
window for accessing and altering fundamental beliefs – even prejudices that we 
don’t know we have.Gender and racial bias can be 'unlearnt' during sleep, new 
study suggests

Nonsense. We'll just buy our own attack robots, and the "open carry" laws will 
be amended to say that we can be accompanied by them at all times.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Fwd: Stuff I'm not sure I wanted to know ...

I read this just as I was about to pour "natural" strawberry syrup over my 
waffles. Thanks a LOT, man.  :-)

  From: "William Leed wle...@aol.com [FairfieldLife]" 


... And now that I know, I'm not sure what to do with it. 
 
-- Forwarded message -- 
     Natural Flavors Come From A Beaver’s Butt      Why do food companies 
list “Natural Flavors” as an ingredient? Probably because it sounds more 
appetizing than “Flavor Extracted From A Beaver’s Ass.”     For some unknown 
reason, the largest food flavoring company in the world recently revealed a 
number of revolting secrets to CBS News. Among other things, the story 
confirmed that “natural flavors come from nature, but not necessarily from what 
the label implies. For example, strawberry and vanilla flavor can come from the 
gland in a beaver’s backside.”     That gland is filled with Castoreum, 
described on Wikipedia as the “yellowish secretion of the castor sac in 
combination with the beaver’s urine.” According to a study published in the 
International Journal of Toxicology, the substance has been “used extensively 
in perfumery and has been added to food as a flavor ingredient for at least 80 
years.”     The bottom line is, natural flavor can come from anything in 
nature, no matter how grotesque. Artificial flavor, meanwhile, refers to a 
chemical additive that is 100 percent man-made, from scratch. These food 
flavors are designed from the ground up to be irresistible, addicting, and 
short-lived, to ensure that once we pop, we can’t stop.     You can watch the 
stunning report from 60 minutes and learn a whole lot more about the food 
flavor industry below.
