Study Finds Long-Term Pot Smokers Have More Social, Financial Problems People who smoke pot regularly over many years, end up in a lower social class than their parents, with lower-paying, less-skilled jobs. That's according to research published Wednesday based on a study of children in New Zealand, who were tracked from birth to age 38. The study participants who regularly use cannabis also reported more problems with debt and cash flow than those in the study who were dependent on alcohol. Forum discusses the findings with the UC Davis professor who authored the study. http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201603230900 http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201603230900 ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,wrote : Drug dog visits high school, two arrested - By ANDY HALLMAN Ledger news editor http://fairfield-ia.villagesoup.com/p/drug-dog-visits-high-school-two-arrested/1509755 http://fairfield-ia.villagesoup.com/p/drug-dog-visits-high-school-two-arrested/1509755 Drug dog visits high school, two arrested - By ANDY H... http://fairfield-ia.villagesoup.com/p/drug-dog-visits-high-school-two-arrested/1509755 The Fairfield Police Department made two arrests and issued one citation Wednesday after sweeping the Fairfield High School’s lockers and vehicles for ...

[FairfieldLife] Re: TM, Quietism, & the Quakers
Text from Northern Europe I'd like to track down an essay that was written from jail in Bern by Inspirationists who were at the risk of a conviction for heresy and a death sentence. The essay was a crafted explanation of their separatist spirituality, written judiciously in defense so as to get themselves out of jail without tripping wires. They got out of jail that time. The inquisitors or magistrates in these circumstances went after what people 'believed' by extracting from them statements of their creeds. Not with an interest in context of people's experience but what did they 'believe', point by point. There being a Church ideological disinterest in people's experience, unless of course the 'experience' could convict the separatist. If once moved on to a religionist's turf of comparing 'creeds', “..what exactly do you believe?”, then it is all over for spirituality and spiritual people. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,wrote : ..Lot of spiritual people [transcendentalists by other names] fled moving from Europe to America.

Likewise from the Indian subcontinent there are many examples of great Saints having no particular Guru. b. Similarly, a whole wave of people can incarnate and be ready for an appearance of somebody like MMY; and it would be difficult for anybody to come up with logical antecedents or an explanation even from cultural DNA. Simply put, a. individuals and groups can receive direct experiential revelation through interior means and such pioneers are ready for the new knowledge because they have prepared for it in previous incarnations. This idea would be completely taboo among Ivy League scholars. But imo there would be no other way to explain why MMY came to the West and people were already prepared for it! Why? Because they incarnated to meet up with that particular Sage in space/timewith no

The irony is that in the stand of people’s own integrity people have left.” ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : This new order of business that came in to the new TM movement was very much about exclusivity and securing trademark and market share in their minds.

By a Corporate coldness and a mercantile administration of a bunch of wealthy people there was not much of a sustained attempt at visiting around with people of the old movement after Maharishi died by 2008. In effect they turned a lot of people out by trying to use the org to discipline people to their own minds. They quite effectively lost a lot of capital and love. The metrics are not good when you look at them. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Old TM teachers had a relationship more directly to Maharishi in being cultivated and certified by him and under essential understanding in relationship to use what they learned from him without letting money get in the way of people learning to meditate. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : There was a further mercantile shift in administration of old TM after Maharishi.

Thank God, I don't want to *belong*! I don't remember how many teachers Maharishi trained before this recertification program started but imagine getting every, or nearly every, teacher to plop down a couple of thousand bucks just to maintain their status. Might pay some bills with that kind of cash. Plus, you can tighten your grip on confidentiality of the teaching process. I think I managed to avoid all of this messy stuff by not becoming an initiator. It just never appealed to me - all that standardized code of behavior and dress and conduct. I simply enjoyed the technique and MIU back in the 70's was really a gas - a demographically diverse student body and a feeling of tapping into something special in terms of the curriculum and how it related to SCI. I'm not sure how it feels on the campus now, but back then it was perfectly timed for who I was and what I needed. Consequently, no hard feelings and I simply moved on.
