No, it really ISN'T fun. It's horrifically sad. One can have *compassion* for 
someone who is acting out the classic "impotent old men trying to intimidate 
others in an attempt to hide their impotence" act, but after a while it's just 
sad. 

Rick, please do something to help Doug -- like removing him from his position 
as moderator. The responsibility and the genuine impossibility of the task have 
clearly caused him to become mentally ill. 
It was entertaining for a while when he was just embarrassing himself. But now 
he's embarrassing the whole forum.

Moderator or not, Doug is now officially back on my Troll List. I will no 
longer bother to read anything he says or reply to anything he posts. Like our 
recently departed member, he no longer exists. By acting this crazy, he has 
effectively -- and ironically -- deleted himself. 


I think it was good to see his true colours so soon. I just hope he's 
embarrassed enough to gain a bit of self awareness from it. He is just going to 
find mustering credibility a bit difficult from now on I suspect.
The saddest part of all of this is that I would be willing to bet that he's so 
far gone into his mental illness that he actually believes he's WINNING this 
mock religious war he's started. 

Personally if I was trying to take control of what people say on a forum - not 
that I would - I'd at least try and lull them into false sense of security for 
a few weeks instead of leaping straight in with this fascist "you will conform 
or leave" bullshit. 
And I definitely wouldn't follow it with that flowery prayer "JaiGuruYou" which 
makes censorship sound more than a bit sinister. 

A fair point. Especially because he often uses that phrase as an epithet. I 
think he should follow his own advice and use "[...] You" instead. That would 
be closer to the way he actually uses the phrase.  

But it's just like the TM movement that spawned Doug himself, they're always 
saying things like "We're not saying you can't read that book, we just think 
it's not appropriate" This can be followed by a request to leave because you 
aren't "ready" to live in a TM centre and, presumably therefore, the age of 
enlightenment.
Funny lot, all flowers and smiles until they find out you don't believe a word 
of it, then it's out with the iron fist in the velvet glove. And for your own 
good of course...
I wonder if we'd left him to it he would have demanded I delete some of my 
recent posts on Nader and Hagelin? I've accused both of them of lying or 
delusional thinking. Tsk, a clear beach of guidelines.

one of Turq's that I cited. ..as the world turns. 5,4,3,2..
 

 So you feel like you're off the hook and don't owe us an apology for abusing 
your power? 
 

 Or how about a reassurance that you now understand the difference between 
valid comments and abuse and won't get the two confused again just because you 
carry a torch for a particular point of view?
 

 And how is it possible for a post to be "even more inflammatory" than one that 
wasn't inflammatory at all?

  It would be really fine to be able to have voices from the DLynch side of the

security for everyone writing within the Yahoo-groups guidelines. Have a good

of ergonomic software design is to test a population of typical users and give 
them a task and see if they can complete it. Often software designers discover 
what seemed obvious to them was in effect, invisible to the  typical user, in 
which case, if there is time, they make a change. On the other hand the Search 
bar at the top is rather prominent. A good design would allow the typing 
'message #xx' in that box and would come up with results, but that does not 
work  unless the message# is in the message itself. If not it returns posts 
with the word message in them. So the software has the search routines split 
into two separate functions. I see the date functions in Advanced Search now do 
not give error messages, but  with my browser, still do not return a date 
range. I am not usually interested in past posts so I do not use the search 
functions that often.

Message numbers are embedded in the headers emails from Yahoo Groups. It 
is the second part of the Newman-Id:


X-Yahoo-Newman-Id: 3920196-m417027

417027 is the message number for your post below.  Not sure if that 
helps any but that's where it's given in the message header.

I like Lynch's films too. They are dark for the most part, and in the view of 
people I watched them with, sick. He seems to have a preference for head 
injuries. My favourite is still his first major foray, Eraserhead. Although I 
suspect the non-linear character of many of them lead some to consider him a 
genius because they cannot understand them. It is those short scenes of human 
behaviour that display a strange deviant creepiness that I find intriguing, 
such as feeding the mutan kid in Eraserhead, or that guy in Muholland Drive 
dumping his trollop wife's jewellery into paint cans and massaging them with 
his hands to get revenge. That his films contain scenes most people I know 
would rather not experience does not necessarily mean he is sick, but I am sure 
it makes a lot of people wonder about him, because such thoughts do not occur 
to them, or if they do, they edit them out of their minds, especially in 
conversation so they appear nice and normal.

    David Lynch is a public figure in the TM movement, and worldwide. He is 
not part of the FFL Yahoo group. He is in a different category than members of 
this group. Criticism of Lynch as a  public figure is fair game on-line and in 
the press as long as it is not libel. I feel this is NOT a violation of Yahoo 
group guidelines and you are overstepping your authority. I find it  incredibly 
difficult to find any message even a couple of days old. Neo has made it very 
difficult to locate past messages. However, I did find that post. You have got 
to be kidding  'dhamiltonyk5'. 
  I believe I know someone who went on that course. That person did not get  
enlightened. I think that person is very gullible, based on considerations 
other than that person having gone on that course. Saying someone is gullible 
is a mere opinion, but it is something that could be backed up with evidence. 
Gullible: easily persuaded to believe something; credulous, naive, 
over-trusting, over-trustful, easily deceived, easily taken in,  exploitable, 
dupable, impressionable, unsuspecting, un-suspicious, unwary, ingenuous, 
innocent, inexperienced, unworldly, green; 
  Furthermore, it was not a non sequitur, 'TurquoiseBee' was responding to a 
similar event of gullibility, providing what he  thought was another example of 
the same, so it was germane to the conversation. 
  We have all been taken in by something in our lives. There are a lot of us  
who feel that the TMO has taken advantage of people's inexperience in certain 
areas of life, and that  as a spiritual movement, it and those supporting it 
have in some ways gone off track. 
  And if you have ever watched all of David Lynch's work, he is a pretty weird 
guy by most normal person standards. 
  And that post was over 10 days ago. A moderator is supposed to be doing this 
more or less in real time, dealing with current 'offences', like the broadcast

real time. This example is more like the Inquisition looking for someone as a 
scapegoat. 
  I think anyone who took a course for a fee like that is out of their mind. 
Even worse than gullible. Unless they are thinking of it as a conscious 
donation to a cause they believe is  real, it seems to lack judgement.

What cracks me up though is over the years these GOP candidates keep getting 
rock anthems, ballads, and pop tunes to jin up excitment.  They really should 
look into seeing if the writer / artist supports their ideology first. I've

[FairfieldLife] Rick, you jumped the shark.

[Duveyoung]

It's on you, Rick.  Doug's been peter-principled by you.
   
Doug, step down.all our hearts are aching to see you assigned to an 
IMPOSSIBLE TASK.
 
Doug, you get to be you, but no one could be the moderator here without a civil 
 war resulting.  I don't want to see how this might end for you and your 
reputation here if you continue to try to do this job by applying your own POV 
to the task.  Your own honesty and integrity is going to be your downfall, and 
the "truths" of the others here will equally drive them into vociferous 
opposition to your management.

Bass Reeves was an archetypal Lone Ranger, being a deputy US Marshall in the 
Indian Territories and bringing to justice over 3,000 fugitives. Featured in 
Bill O'Reilly's "Legends and Lies" series and the book. (1838 - 1910); shown 
below with pics of the famous TV character, which I was fond of. Reeves even 
had an Indian sidekick:

I agree with Curtis on this one, but TurquoiseB is in fact lucky still to be 
here. He should have been given a red card some weeks ago when he falsely 
accused, in a specially created subject line, another FFL member of advocating 
murder on this forum and giving that poster's real name, at a time when that 
poster was using an anonymous handle. TurquoiseB did this deliberately to 
defame the individual concerned forever via the Google search engine. He 
actually gloated over this very point. If that was not a malicious action then 
the word has no meaning. He should have been expelled. I believe he later 
deleted his own post but some of the damage had already been done.

 You are attempting to censor content to your own subjective standard

a misread of the intentions of the guidelines which does not address this at

believes this is an outrageous comment that needs the intervention of 
moderators:

 In going forward in accord with Rick's original intent for protecting privacy

as by impulse without intent or with meditated intent to abuse someone by

 For instance, as people signing on to FFL do post and people do respond with 
replies then for example in reply: 'Turqb isTurqb', 'Fleetwood is Fleetwood', 
'CDB is CDB', 'Serious is Serious', 'Buck is Buck', 'Nablusoss is Nablusoss',

I, for one, really like Neil Young and his music.

What cracks me up though is over the years these GOP candidates keep getting 
rock anthems, ballads, and pop tunes to jin up excitment.  They really should 
look into seeing if the writer / artist supports their ideology first. I've 
seen this so many times.  Many folks in the music business are probably 
laughing all the way to the bank.


Here's Neil a few weeks ago promoting the Pono player crowdfunded music player.

For whatever my opinion is worth, I would slur and revile Lynch to a 
fair-thee-well. He is obviously a hypocrite which puts him in good company 
since most of the TM leadership I ever had dealings with were too, and he is 
the purveyor of a way to "save" the world while adding to its degradation with 
his awful twisted schlock.

    David Lynch is a public figure in the TM movement, and worldwide. He is not 
part of the FFL Yahoo group. He is in a different category than members of this 
group. Criticism of Lynch as a public figure is fair game on-line and in the 
press as long as it is not libel. I feel this is NOT a violation of Yahoo group 
guidelines and you are overstepping your authority. I find it incredibly 
difficult to find any message even a couple of days old. Neo has made it very 
difficult to locate past messages. However, I did find that post. You have got 
to be kidding 'dhamiltonyk5'.
I believe I know someone who went on that course. That person did not get 
enlightened. I think that person is very gullible, based on considerations 
other than that person having gone on that course. Saying someone is gullible 
is a mere opinion, but it is something that could be backed up with evidence. 
Gullible: easily persuaded to believe something; credulous, naive, 
over-trusting, over-trustful, easily deceived, easily taken in, exploitable, 
dupable, impressionable, unsuspecting, un-suspicious, unwary, ingenuous, 
innocent, inexperienced, unworldly, green;
Furthermore, it was not a non sequitur, 'TurquoiseBee' was responding to a 
similar event of gullibility, providing what he thought was another example of 
the same, so it was germane to the conversation.
We have all been taken in by something in our lives. There are a lot of us who 
feel that the TMO has taken advantage of people's inexperience in certain areas 
of life, and that as a spiritual movement, it and those supporting it have in 
some ways gone off track.
And if you have ever watched all of David Lynch's work, he is a pretty weird 
guy by most normal person standards.
And that post was over 10 days ago. A moderator is supposed to be doing this 
more or less in real time, dealing with current 'offences', like the broadcast 
loop delay on live broadcasts a moderator can delete certain words in almost 
real time. This example is more like the Inquisition looking for someone as a 
scapegoat.
I think anyone who took a course for a fee like that is out of their mind. Even 
worse than gullible. Unless they are thinking of it as a conscious donation to 
a cause they believe is real, it seems to lack judgement.

Re: [FairfieldLife] International day of Yoga!

[Michael Jackson mjackso...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

what I think should happen is all the Marshy guru types and their true believer 
followers should all go to the fundamentalist countries and do their meditation 
and chanting thing with the publicly expressed intention to "convert" the 
medieval savages into a coherent, sattvic peaceful way of life. 

Wait a month, notify next of kin for all the gurus and their followers and then 
all we have left to deal with are the Game of Thrones type people (having read 
the books and watched most of the shows, I can tell you the milk of human 
kindness is greatly lacking in  Geo. RR Martin's world).

I actually like the idea of group coherence - I just wish it worked - but I 
can't find it in my heart anymore to hope that the world can be saved by 
anything other than hard work and ingenuity. And where is the impetus for a

I think you only have to look at the world in general to see it's all going to

Syria with their young children to join ISIS. WTF? Like we don't have TV here. 
Like nobody knows what's going on! The only conclusion is they must think it's

| Yoga Day AnnouncementAll Maharishi Invincibility Centres worldwide to 
celebrate

International Day of Yoga

Founded by the United Nations 

21 June 2015
 It is a pleasure to invite all Sidhas and Meditators to join this special 
event to commemorate the United Nations International Day of Yoga. The annual 
event was proposed by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, and major 
celebrations will take place for India in New Delhi, and for the United Nations 
in New York City.
 
21 June is the solstice – midsummer day in the Northern Hemisphere, and 
midwinter day in the Southern Hemisphere – a traditional day to celebrate, and 
now we can add the theme of International Day of Yoga to our celebration, and 
bring Maharishi’s unique vision of Yoga to our Meditators and Sidhas, to the 
press, and to our country.
 
The Eight Limbs of Yoga
Most people understand Yoga mainly in terms of asanas (physical postures or 
exercises). However, Maharishi’s enlightened vision of Ashtanga Yoga (the Eight 
Limbs of Yoga) illuminates that the eight limbs grow together on the basis of 
the experience of Samadhi, Transcendental Consciousness. The reality of Yoga 
(unity) is to be created on all levels – body, mind, consciousness, society, 
and even World Peace.
 
An opportunity
This is an opportunity to highlight everything Maharishi taught us about Yoga 
in his supreme vision of integration of life, and what Maharaja Adhiraj 
Rajaraam has brought out in terms of Yoga in the physiology, to celebrate it, 
tell others, and enjoy spreading the influence of wellbeing for all mankind. 
See Maharaja-ji’s profound message below.
 
The International Day of Yoga calls for an upsurge of unity in world 
consciousness. For this purpose, Maharishi’s global organization will hold 
events everywhere on that day to enliven the true value of Yoga in every 
country. We celebrate the simultaneous growth of unity in every area of life 
through contact with that level of unity that is fundamental to everything.
 
Celebrate with Meditators and Sidhas at Maharishi Invincibility Centres
There will be Coherence Day events with a National conference call to celebrate 
the International Day of Yoga throughout the United Kingdom. Please see the 
email of 11 June about the National Coherence Day, and please call your TM 
Centre for details of your local event. On the conference call, which will 
begin at 2.30 pm, Raja Peter will be speaking on the significance of the 
International Day of Yoga, and Dr William Sands, Dean of the College of 
Maharishi Vedic Science at Maharishi University of Management, will speak on 
'The True Meaning of Yoga'. Facebook page

 I think you only have to look at the world in general to see it's all going to

Like nobody knows what's going on! The only conclusion is they must think it's

 Yoga Day Announcement
 All Maharishi Invincibility Centres worldwide to celebrate

International Day of Yoga

Founded by the United Nations 

21 June 2015
 
 It is a pleasure to invite all Sidhas and Meditators to join this special 
event to commemorate the United Nations International Day of Yoga. The annual 
event was proposed by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, and major 
celebrations will take place for India in New Delhi, and for the United Nations 
in New York City.
 
21 June is the solstice – midsummer day in the Northern Hemisphere, and 
midwinter day in the Southern Hemisphere – a traditional day to celebrate, and 
now we can add the theme of International Day of Yoga to our celebration, and 
bring Maharishi’s unique vision of Yoga to our Meditators and Sidhas, to the 
press, and to our country.
 
The Eight Limbs of Yoga
Most people understand Yoga mainly in terms of asanas (physical postures or 
exercises). However, Maharishi’s enlightened vision of Ashtanga Yoga (the Eight 
Limbs of Yoga) illuminates that the eight limbs grow together on the basis of 
the experience of Samadhi, Transcendental Consciousness. The reality of Yoga 
(unity) is to be created on all levels – body, mind, consciousness, society, 
and even World Peace.
 
An opportunity
This is an opportunity to highlight everything Maharishi taught us about Yoga 
in his supreme vision of integration of life, and what Maharaja Adhiraj 
Rajaraam has brought out in terms of Yoga in the physiology, to celebrate it, 
tell others, and enjoy spreading the influence of wellbeing for all mankind. 
See Maharaja-ji’s profound message below.
 
The International Day of Yoga calls for an upsurge of unity in world 
consciousness. For this purpose, Maharishi’s global organization will hold 
events everywhere on that day to enliven the true value of Yoga in every 
country. We celebrate the simultaneous growth of unity in every area of life 
through contact with that level of unity that is fundamental to everything.
 
Celebrate with Meditators and Sidhas at Maharishi Invincibility Centres
There will be Coherence Day events with a National conference call to celebrate 
the International Day of Yoga throughout the United Kingdom. Please see the 
email of 11 June about the National Coherence Day, and please call your TM 
Centre for details of your local event. 
 On the conference call, which will begin at 2.30 pm, Raja Peter will be 
speaking on the significance of the International Day of Yoga, and Dr William 
Sands, Dean of the College of Maharishi Vedic Science at Maharishi University 
of Management, will speak on 'The True Meaning of Yoga'. 
 Facebook page
The International Day of Yoga is being celebrated in Maharishi Invincibility 
Centres in 115 countries around the world where Transcendental Meditation is 
taught. Group photos from the Coherence Day events and brief report will also 
be added tohttps://www.facebook.com/intlyogaday21june
 
 
   
 
Message from Maharaja Adhiraj Raja Raam on the International day of Yoga, 21 
June 2015
 
Yoga Day will no doubt become a milestone in human history, particularly if 
highlighted as the day of Unity. Yoga is unity between mind and body, between 
the individual and society, between all societies, between all nations and 
between all individual values of culture, tradition, belief systems, and racial 
differences.

David Lynch is a public figure in the TM movement, and worldwide. He is not 
part of the FFL Yahoo group. He is in a different category than members of this 
group. Criticism of Lynch as a public figure is fair game on-line and in the 
press as long as it is not libel. I feel this is NOT a violation of Yahoo group 
guidelines and you are overstepping your authority. I find it incredibly 
difficult to find any message even a couple of days old. Neo has made it very 
difficult to locate past messages. However, I did find that post. You have got 
to be kidding 'dhamiltonyk5'. 

 I believe I know someone who went on that course. That person did not get 
enlightened. I think that person is very gullible, based on considerations 
other than that person having gone on that course. Saying someone is gullible 
is a mere opinion, but it is something that could be backed up with evidence. 
Gullible: easily persuaded to believe something; credulous, naive, 
over-trusting, over-trustful, easily deceived, easily taken in, exploitable, 
dupable, impressionable, unsuspecting, un-suspicious, unwary, ingenuous, 
innocent, inexperienced, unworldly, green;
 

 Furthermore, it was not a non sequitur, 'TurquoiseBee' was responding to a 
similar event of gullibility, providing what he thought was another example of 
the same, so it was germane to the conversation.
 

 We have all been taken in by something in our lives. There are a lot of us who 
feel that the TMO has taken advantage of people's inexperience in certain areas 
of life, and that as a spiritual movement, it and those supporting it have in 
some ways gone off track.
 

 And if you have ever watched all of David Lynch's work, he is a pretty weird 
guy by most normal person standards.
 

 And that post was over 10 days ago. A moderator is supposed to be doing this 
more or less in real time, dealing with current 'offences', like the broadcast 
loop delay on live broadcasts a moderator can delete certain words in almost 
real time. This example is more like the Inquisition looking for someone as a 
scapegoat.
 

 I think anyone who took a course for a fee like that is out of their mind. 
Even worse than gullible. Unless they are thinking of it as a conscious 
donation to a cause they believe is real, it seems to lack judgement.

I object to this overreach of moderator power into content censorship by a 
blatant misread of the explicit intention of this guidline. The guideline 
applies to members of the list, and David lynch is not a member, he is a public 
figure. He is not being "degraded" because he will never read this and that is 
not the intention of the guidleline anyway.
 

 You are attempting to censor content to your own subjective standard 
inappropriately by misreading the guideline to apply to  a personal opinion 
about a public figure. Mentioning that it is a non sequitur to the post is also 
a misread of the intentions of the guidelines which does not address this at 
all since adding new points is the nature of a public forum. Calling it 
"exploitative" is also a misread of the meaning of the word. Barry is 
"exploiting" nothing by posting his opinion about a public figure and his 
actual actions. Please read what Barry wrote and weigh in if the community 
believes this is an outrageous comment that needs the intervention of 
moderators:

 
What Barry actually wrote:

This is amazing. You read through this and you think, "How could anyone 
possibly BE so gullible as to fall for this?" But then you think about people 
like David Lynch, who was so gullible he paid Maharishi a million dollars so 
that he could attend an "Enlightenment Course," and then Maharishi didn't even 
have the courtesy to show up in person to teach it.

Message from Maharaja Adhiraj Raja Raam on the International day of Yoga, 21 
June 2015
 
Yoga Day will no doubt become a milestone in human history, particularly if 
highlighted as the day of Unity. Yoga is unity between mind and body, between 
the individual and society, between all societies, between all nations and 
between all individual values of culture, tradition, belief systems, and racial 
differences.
 
Yoga brings together all separate and even apparently conflicting and opposite 
values. The dynamics of creation and evolution require some things to move up, 
others to move down. Some aspects of nature are dry and some others are wet; 
some cool, some hot. When balanced they create the steps of transformation and 
evolution. Yoga is that aspect of Natural Law, that aspect of Veda, which 
guarantees that all diversity is progressing on the basis of supreme Unity.
 
As brought to light by Maharishi, Yoga is not only one of the 40 aspects of 
Vedic science, which like all others make a profound theoretical contribution 
to knowledge, but it also has a practical aspect which allows every individual 
to directly experience and live
supreme unity within diversity. Yoga Asana 
helps to balance the physiology and strengthen the body, thus promoting a 
healthy body for a healthy mind and improving mind-body

 Just for the record, I should point out that Rick banned me from the group

him and he reinstated my posting privileges. Apparently an informant objected

 But, this brings up an interesting subject. From what I've read,  
has never used her real name on FFL, so I guess that everyone that ever used

everyone currently posting. Can anyone spell cognitive dissonance?

 I used to post with my usual email address which is just my actual name - not 
Salyavin amazingly - and a different username but changed it when I found that 
someone unknown to me had copied some of my posts onto another site.
 

 My memory is sketchy but I think they were about the physics of yogic flying 
or rather the possibility of yogic flying according to actual physics - you 
know the sort of thing I usually go on about. But what I didn't anticipate was 
that in having my real email address with my name on that would get copied too 
if anyone felt like they wanted to back up their arguments with a bit of 
serious thinking [ahem]. So basically I ended up getting some odd emails from 
some odd people. And offers to join other groups which was nice, but one 
doesn't like to spread oneself too thinly I find.
 

 None of it was unpleasant or trollish it was just another thing to have to 
deal with in the day so I went anonymous to avoid it happening in future. I 
think privacy is best on the net as you never know where your address might end 
up or what someone might do with it.

There is no rule that says he has to be let back on to respond.  He dug 
his grave and now needs to lie in it.  It's his karma.  Who knows how 
many groups and sites he's been booted from for being obnoxious.  
Someone his age and background should know better.   Posting what is 
essentially "graffiti postings" will get you the boot from many moderators.

Hey Barry,

I don't know what Doug's role in this was except it was after the fact of me 
emailing Rick.

Funny troll graphic with non English speaker spelling.
 
Thanks for understanding the need to be careful not to stir what must be kept 
in the ground.

The Doug as CEO (his term) of FFL seems to be a case of someone wanting control 
of what other people say on the forum who was not popularly supported to take 
that role with us. There was no Yahoo guidelines problem here, this was a 
contrivance to assert unwanted control over posters here.

The warning to Edg was the first indication of the new direction. I hope the 
push back on that as enough to stop further moves. Reading Edg without F bombs 
would be like drinking a Roy Rodgers at a bourbon bar.

 Thanks for explaining that, Curtis. It adds credence to my intuitive "inner 
feeling" when I read Doug's announcement -- that by adopting the Royal "we," he 
was trying to take credit for something that someone with more integrity than 
he has had done.

   Here is how it went down. R was phishing for my professional name. I told 
him that I keep my names separate on social media to prevent casual searches 
from combining my business and personal life. He responded by posting my 
personal Facebook page to out my real name AGAIN.

While this was going on Doug was occupied scolding Edg for his word choices 
that have never given Yahoo groups any trouble since he has been posting here.

So I emailed Rick who acted immediately to restore order in the kingdom.

Last time R did this he got banned for a month but was brought back because he 
was being talked about and couldn't respond. Personally I would like to see him 
stay in his crypt this time. 

I have not experienced such bizarrely unwarranted online malice since the other 
malicious R was ousted for trying to F me on the search engines. Both times 
Rick acted to protect my participation here and I appreciate that.

Posting on FFL has been a useful tool for me. I hope it can remain so. That way 
that happens IMO is for moderators to take out predators with clearly malicious 
agendas and leave the rest of the adults alone to post their mind freely with 
having to to worry: " I wonder what another person with more prudish language

 I have absolutely NO PROBLEM with the *actual* Yahoo-Groups Guidelines being

Doug has chosen to follow them with. They were written by a fictional persona

Note that 'Buck' does not appear in the data Yahoo now posts on the group, nor 
does it appear in the e-mail. And what do we do if someone's real name is part 
or the whole of their e-mail address, or if the person signs off with their 
real name somewhere in the e-mail and does not care, and we respond to that? 
What if we repost an older post and the person's real name was in that? Buck is 
a nickname, but I assume others might use it where you live. I sometimes use 
the full e-mail address name, but not the company name (yahoogroups.com for 
example). What if a person wants to use their real name, are they prohibited? 
Please clarify.
Summary of this message   
   - person's real name in e-mail address   

   - person wants to use real name   

   - person wants to use a nickname that people in real life call him/her by   

   - person's real name appears in older posts   

   - person doesn't care if real name is used

your post, just after the announcement. Much of it (everything after the first 
300 words or so) seems to have been written by a previous poster to Fairfield 
Life who, as I understand it, was specifically asked by Rick not to insinuate 
his faux persona into the duties of moderator. Just sayin'...

 

 I know you'll want to get right on this. 

 

 Turq B survived the first putsch. That's a relief. 

 

 Yeah. Like Michael, I seriously wondered when I pressed Send whether my post 
would go through.  :-)


 

 But I think the guidelines will be posted regularly to keep the fear quotient 
high. Uniform blandness will be achieved!
 

 I have absolutely NO PROBLEM with the *actual* Yahoo-Groups Guidelines being 
posted regularly. What I object to are the 1,300+ words of insulting SPAM that 
Doug has chosen to follow them with. They were written by a fictional persona 
named Buck that Doug is not supposed to be channeling in his duties as FFL 
moderator. And yet Doug is reposting them as if *his rant* is an integral part 
of the guidelines. I find that remarkably un-self-aware and offensive. Not to 
mention being contrary to what he promised Rick.

[FairfieldLife] On Gratuitous invasions of privacy

[dhamiltony...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

“ ..and don't invade other people's privacy.” 
 

 In going forward in accord with Rick's original intent for protecting privacy 
on FFL know that in responding [replying] to posts made on FFL an unsolicited 
use of someone's legal name on FFL is an invasion of privacy as it also is 
considered a violation of the yahoo-groups guidelines here. Expect to have your 
writing removed from FFL. Expect to have your posts moderated. Expect to have 
your membership revoked if such invasion of people's privacy continues either 
as by impulse without intent or with meditated intent to abuse someone by 
invasion of privacy as used in method. 
 

 For instance, as people signing on to FFL do post and people do respond with 
replies then for example in reply: 'Turqb isTurqb', 'Fleetwood is Fleetwood', 
'CDB is CDB', 'Serious is Serious', 'Buck is Buck', 'Nablusoss is Nablusoss', 
and 'Authfriend is Authfriend'. Whatever their legal names in life may be, now 
going forward you shall be moderate in this as Rick originally intended. Show 
self-restraint and respect for other people's privacy here. Simple. That is 
part of the communal collaboration asked for in making this a particular 
free-speech zone as it was hoped for. Have a nice day, -JaiGuruYou

 Thanks A., good to know. In going forward with moderation on FFL, protection 
of privacy has always been a mainstay feature of FFL as Rick's free speech 
list. This feature of protection has been under siege and fallen to a form of a 
disrespect used by some writers on FFL. Everyone take this as a warning right 
now going forward: where someone posting to the list uses an anonymous screen 
name it is quite proper form on FFL as a yahoo-group to respond to posts using 
a person's screen name and make no mention of their real name otherwise.

 Just for the record, I should point out that Rick banned me from the group 
without sending me a single message or email explaining why. So, I appealed to 
him and he reinstated my posting privileges. Apparently an informant objected 
to my using their real name, although they had previously posted under their 
real name. Go figure.

 Sad news. 

 

 The really sad part of this is that [] has not apologized to me for over two 
decades for posting my real name on a.m.t. Go figure.
 

 But, this brings up an interesting subject. From what I've read,  
has never used her real name on FFL, so I guess that everyone that ever used 
her real name should be banned from the group. That would include almost 
everyone currently posting. Can anyone spell cognitive dissonance?
 

 Might I propose, before Doug starts banning people, that you and Rick insist 
on a few guidelines for *him* when he does this. 

 

 I'm suggesting this because I think everyone here is aware that Doug 
is...uh...not quite in touch with reality these days, and tends to see things 
that aren't really there. 

 

 So what I suggest is that if he is indeed given the power to ban someone, he 
cannot do so without reposting *the exact post* that Doug feels is in violation 
of the Yahoo Guidelines, and without explaining to the group *exactly why* he 
thinks this poster needs to be banned. 

 

 Otherwise, you know what's going to happen. Doug will just ban the people he 
doesn't like, without telling *anyone*, and they'll just fall off the radar 
because they can't post any more, either to complain or to defend themselves. 

 

 I think we all know that a tyrant has just been handed the keys to the 
kingdom. I think we also all know what he will do with them. I'm just 
suggesting a procedure that insures he can't do it in secret.

[FairfieldLife] International day of Yoga!

[salyavin808]

 Yoga Day Announcement
 All Maharishi Invincibility Centres worldwide to celebrate

International Day of Yoga

Founded by the United Nations 

21 June 2015
 
 It is a pleasure to invite all Sidhas and Meditators to join this special 
event to commemorate the United Nations International Day of Yoga. The annual 
event was proposed by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, and major 
celebrations will take place for India in New Delhi, and for the United Nations 
in New York City.
 
21 June is the solstice – midsummer day in the Northern Hemisphere, and 
midwinter day in the Southern Hemisphere – a traditional day to celebrate, and 
now we can add the theme of International Day of Yoga to our celebration, and 
bring Maharishi’s unique vision of Yoga to our Meditators and Sidhas, to the 
press, and to our country.
 
The Eight Limbs of Yoga
Most people understand Yoga mainly in terms of asanas (physical postures or 
exercises). However, Maharishi’s enlightened vision of Ashtanga Yoga (the Eight 
Limbs of Yoga) illuminates that the eight limbs grow together on the basis of 
the experience of Samadhi, Transcendental Consciousness. The reality of Yoga 
(unity) is to be created on all levels – body, mind, consciousness, society, 
and even World Peace.
 
An opportunity
This is an opportunity to highlight everything Maharishi taught us about Yoga 
in his supreme vision of integration of life, and what Maharaja Adhiraj 
Rajaraam has brought out in terms of Yoga in the physiology, to celebrate it, 
tell others, and enjoy spreading the influence of wellbeing for all mankind. 
See Maharaja-ji’s profound message below.
 
The International Day of Yoga calls for an upsurge of unity in world 
consciousness. For this purpose, Maharishi’s global organization will hold 
events everywhere on that day to enliven the true value of Yoga in every 
country. We celebrate the simultaneous growth of unity in every area of life 
through contact with that level of unity that is fundamental to everything.
 
Celebrate with Meditators and Sidhas at Maharishi Invincibility Centres
There will be Coherence Day events with a National conference call to celebrate 
the International Day of Yoga throughout the United Kingdom. Please see the 
email of 11 June about the National Coherence Day, and please call your TM 
Centre for details of your local event. 
 On the conference call, which will begin at 2.30 pm, Raja Peter will be 
speaking on the significance of the International Day of Yoga, and Dr William 
Sands, Dean of the College of Maharishi Vedic Science at Maharishi University 
of Management, will speak on 'The True Meaning of Yoga'. 
 Facebook page
The International Day of Yoga is being celebrated in Maharishi Invincibility 
Centres in 115 countries around the world where Transcendental Meditation is 
taught. Group photos from the Coherence Day events and brief report will also 
be added tohttps://www.facebook.com/intlyogaday21june
 
 
   
 
Message from Maharaja Adhiraj Raja Raam on the International day of Yoga, 21 
June 2015
 
Yoga Day will no doubt become a milestone in human history, particularly if 
highlighted as the day of Unity. Yoga is unity between mind and body, between 
the individual and society, between all societies, between all nations and 
between all individual values of culture, tradition, belief systems, and racial 
differences.
 
Yoga brings together all separate and even apparently conflicting and opposite 
values. The dynamics of creation and evolution require some things to move up, 
others to move down. Some aspects of nature are dry and some others are wet; 
some cool, some hot. When balanced they create the steps of transformation and 
evolution. Yoga is that aspect of Natural Law, that aspect of Veda, which 
guarantees that all diversity is progressing on the basis of supreme Unity.
 
As brought to light by Maharishi, Yoga is not only one of the 40 aspects of 
Vedic science, which like all others make a profound theoretical contribution 
to knowledge, but it also has a practical aspect which allows every individual 
to directly experience and live
supreme unity within diversity. Yoga Asana 
helps to balance the physiology and strengthen the body, thus promoting a 
healthy body for a healthy mind and improving mind-body coordination. This is 
unity between mind and body.
 
However, the technologies of Yoga in the Vedic tradition, particularly as 
brought to light in the west by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi with Transcendental 
Meditation, while improving all aspects of mind, body, behavior and society, 
take the individual and society to the field of all unity – the unified field 
of all the Laws of Nature. Science today has glimpsed that field by showing 
that at the basis of all that is material and physical there are progressively 
more
unified fields of electromagnetism, grand unification and ultimately the 
one Unified Field. Yoga in its ultimate technol

Licenses are often handled by the Harry Fox Agency.  Rates can vary from 
cheap to the absurd.  But back in the 1990s some of the record companies 
began offering 30 seconds of tunes in their catalog for $300 for some 
uses.  A record company president told me he thought the Fox Agency was 
a bit out of step with the times when I told him how they wanted for

your post, just after the announcement. Much of it (everything after the first 
300 words or so) seems to have been written by a previous poster to Fairfield 
Life who, as I understand it, was specifically asked by Rick not to insinuate 
his faux persona into the duties of moderator. Just sayin'...

 

 I know you'll want to get right on this. 

 

 Turq B survived the first putsch. That's a relief. 

 

 Yeah. Like Michael, I seriously wondered when I pressed Send whether my post 
would go through.  :-)


 

 But I think the guidelines will be posted regularly to keep the fear quotient 
high. Uniform blandness will be achieved!
 

 I have absolutely NO PROBLEM with the *actual* Yahoo-Groups Guidelines being 
posted regularly. What I object to are the 1,300+ words of insulting SPAM that 
Doug has chosen to follow them with. They were written by a fictional persona 
named Buck that Doug is not supposed to be channeling in his duties as FFL 
moderator. And yet Doug is reposting them as if *his rant* is an integral part 
of the guidelines. I find that remarkably un-self-aware and offensive. Not to 
mention being contrary to what he promised Rick.

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

On the news this morning, the Trump campaign said they paid for the rights to 
use the song. Song writers are not usually involved in rights negotiations 
directly. For example an acquaintance of mine paid about $500 to use four lines 
of one of Paul Simon's songs in a book. Simon was not involved at all, it was 
just a standard fee for a particular use, handled by his company. Be 
interesting to see how this will pan out.

[FairfieldLife] Gary Larson influence

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

I believe Larson's The Far Side inspired a whole new generation of cartoonists, 
although most of them have never been able to maintain the amount of 
consistency he achieved. If one (in the U.S) looks at the comics section in 
today's papers, it is terribly bland. When I was a child, there were many 
strips that were dramatic stories, science fiction, detectives, espionage, etc. 
Most of this is all gone. A whole new generation of cartoonists is appearing on 
the Internet given them the opportunity to discuss subjects that newspaper 
editors would shy away from, and Larson created that crack in the door. 
 

 Larson made use of contradictory ideas such as in his panel showing a meat 
wagon about to crash into a vegetarian restaurant.
 

 The following cartoon appeared on a site called alarmingnews.com and the file 
name was 'unfunny joke' as someone did not like it but posted it from its 
original website. But the cartoon shows up the nature of hypocrisy, in which 
the human mind holds two opposing views at the same time. I feel Larson opened 
the way for cartoonists to deal with more an just simple-minded situation 
humour and although he typically did not delve into the darker side of human 
thought, he provided the inspiration for others to try these things out.

Yes, I tire of the anodyne blandness of mood-making spiritual types very

[..Some people evidently are notamenable to group collaborations which it seems

There is good reason to lacktrust in collaboration on FFL at Yahoo-groups by 
what has beenallowed to become a dominant culture of a few here. Of afear of 
getting needlessly ensnared by any participation of puttingones thoughts and 
self forward. Folks generally are denied theopportunity to think together with 
good people on FFL for all thesnark of the ad hominem attack.
It takes skills and practice tosee discussion as thinking but it takes allies

Re: [FairfieldLife] Water water everywhere....

[Mike Dixon mdixon.6...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

Well... we certainly aren't having a water shortage here in Texas these days. 
Maybe we can export the stuff. California!?< As far as the UK goes, maybe you 
guys should reconsider your immigration policies as we should. We're all 
getting too Islamized. They don't seem to adapt very well to the culture of 
their host countries but rather expect their new hosts to adapt to them.

Hardly surprising. Deserts are growing, overpopulation, changes in rainfall 
patterns, deforestation. The water we need all ends up in the sea faster than 
ever.
In the UK we need 250,000 new homes every year just to keep up with demand. 
Most of those seem to be being built in my street, with gardens being turned 
into blocks of flats. One bungalow became 6 very small semis, all of which will 
have two cars but nowhere to park them, and all will be connected to the 
rapidly dwindling water supply. There is never any more or less water on Earth, 
do the people in charge ever think about that?
I think we should all be extra special bad so that god sends another flood to 
punish us. Or maybe as that didn't work last time he's going to starve us out..

300 words or so) seems to have been written by a previous poster to Fairfield

his faux persona into the duties of moderator. Just sayin'...

I know you'll want to get right on this.

But I think the guidelines will be posted regularly to keep the fear quotient

I have absolutely NO PROBLEM with the *actual* Yahoo-Groups Guidelines being 
posted regularly. What I object to are the 1,300+ words of insulting SPAM that 
Doug has chosen to follow them with. They were written by a fictional persona 
named Buck that Doug is not supposed to be channeling in his duties as FFL 
moderator. And yet Doug is reposting them as if *his rant* is an integral part 
of the guidelines. I find that remarkably un-self-aware and offensive. Not to

 Yeah. Like Michael, I seriously wondered when I pressed Send whether my post

 Ha, me too. But my eyes went to the "new topic" button to see if it was still 
there or was I doomed to never to waffle on FFL again...

 I have absolutely NO PROBLEM with the *actual* Yahoo-Groups Guidelines being 
posted regularly. What I object to are the 1,300+ words of insulting SPAM that 
Doug has chosen to follow them with. They were written by a fictional persona 
named Buck that Doug is not supposed to be channeling in his duties as FFL 
moderator. And yet Doug is reposting them as if *his rant* is an integral part 
of the guidelines. I find that remarkably un-self-aware and offensive. Not to 
mention being contrary to what he promised Rick.
 

 I don't mind seeing them either, as long as no one minds me ignoring them 
occasionally. I'd hate to be a member of any club that would accept me, as 
Groucho Marx kinda said. 
 

 The only thing that annoys me here is when people come here just to whine and 
criticise and make the place unreadable, as a certain gentleman from Texas has 
admitted doing.
 

 Be the change you want to see in the world. That's what I say.

 Hardly surprising. Deserts are growing, overpopulation, changes in rainfall 
patterns, deforestation. The water we need all ends up in the sea faster than 
ever.
 

 In the UK we need 250,000 new homes every year just to keep up with demand. 
Most of those seem to be being built in my street, with gardens being turned 
into blocks of flats. One bungalow became 6 very small semis, all of which will 
have two cars but nowhere to park them, and all will be connected to the 
rapidly dwindling water supply. There is never any more or less water on Earth, 
do the people in charge ever think about that?
 

 I think we should all be extra special bad so that god sends another flood to 
punish us. Or maybe as that didn't work last time he's going to starve us out..

[..Some people evidently are notamenable to group collaborations which it seems 
is why groups,organizations or larger society may well protect and preserve 
themselves for theutility and well-being of their larger membership by removing 
orseparating destructive asocial members.
There is good reason to lacktrust in collaboration on FFL at Yahoo-groups by 
what has beenallowed to become a dominant culture of a few here. Of afear of 
getting needlessly ensnared by any participation of puttingones thoughts and 
self forward. Folks generally are denied theopportunity to think together with 
good people on FFL for all thesnark of the ad hominem attack.
It takes skills and practice tosee discussion as thinking but it takes allies 
of kindness to thinktogether creatively. For the engagement within a group 
[FFL] to beeffective there need be folks and a moderation willing and able to 
stand up to bullies who would destroy forum, to have athinking forum.
Truth evidently won't 'set usfree' until we have the courage, skills, habit and 
moral courageto kindly explore it. There evidently are few allies of 
civildiscourse on FFL and Rick Archer in moderation is seldom here toevenly 
protect civil discourse. Kind thoughtful discussion is up tothe folks left here 
to seize if it can be had at all. Kind discoursehas been 'thrown to the dogs' 
on FFL to tear up by a lack ofmoderation let alone any self-control.
The bullies have run most wild here unchecked because nice people were not 
protected and thoughtful folks often inside are afraid of embroiling mean 
conflict upon themselves enough to invest in it, ..in provoking the bullying 
Turqb asserting..“For the record, I apologize for nothing. Rien. Nada. Nichevo. 
Bupkus. I meant everything I've ever said here, and stand by it fully.”
In thinking together, peopleoften may fail

He certainly seems to have a feel for how seriously anyone should take religion.
 

 I believe he was the first syndicated cartoonist to feature god, and he got a 
lot of stick for it. It didn't bother the letter writers that he portrayed the 
great man as dignified with a flowing beard and light emanating from his halo, 
just by featuring the creator in a humorous setting he had blasphemed and his 
career nearly came to an early end. But then it did almost every week as 
nervous editors, scared of controversy, sought to censor the "offending" items.
 

 To be sure I'd have to dig out my copy of Larson's kinda biography The 
prehistory of the Far Side - where he details all his early battles to stay 
unmoderated - but I think the below is god's first appearance in a panel 
cartoon. Hard to believe that cartoons like these were ever considered 
contraversial by anyone:
 

 

 

 

 But then there are a lot of people who would kill you still for portraying an 
image like this of a holy figure, religious people can be fucking nuts I 
shouldn't have to tell you. They fear other people being different to them to 
the point that they will chop your head off. Saudi Arabia has executed 100 
people this year for crimes like witchcraft and having opinions contrary to 
those of the religious authority. One guy got 10 years in jail and 1000 lashes 
for daring to suggest that religious societies stifle free speech and keep you 
in a self-perpetuating circle of fear. Nice of them to underline his point by 
punishing him like that really. Doubt he's seeing the funny side though the 
lashes are administered 10 a week.
 

 The UK minister for that sort of thing was asked in the commons what she 
thought about Saudi Arabia's shockingly medieval approach to crime and 
punishment and said that the UK supports free speech but isn't going to object 
to the Saudi's because the punishment gets the approval of the majority of 
Saudi society. The hell it does. Maybe it didn't occur to her that maybe people 
don't object for a reason?
 

 And it's nothing to do with the massive amounts of weapons we sell them, oh 
no. Or that our respective "royal" families are very good friends. Society 
seems to be held together by such slender threads. We used to bullshit that the 
reason we do trade with hideous foreign regimes is so they can be exposed to 
our superior values and then change their societies once they'd seen the light. 
I can't tell if that was just a sinister or self-deluding joke or not. But now 
that China holds all the trump cards I can't help feeling we're going to be 
sorry for not demanding social justice in countries we trade with before we 
ship them advanced weaponry systems.
