 Funny, that. I don't think "likable" relates to anything. While I despise 
Trump it is not his personality that is of importance. Hillary is neither 
likable or unlikable. She is simply the most qualified and someone who has 
served the country for decades. She has experience and she is really smart. She 
also, for some unknown reason, wants the job. I think she is amazingly strong 
and that is one small factor for why I will vote for her.

Kessler?  Here's a review of this book.All kinds of errors...he sounds like 
an angry gossip make-up artist to me.  Based on your belief on her manners 
stated below, here is what he wrote on Al Gore in the book.  H 

 "About former Vice President Al Gore, he quotes a former agent named Jeff 
Crane, who says that he was "on the detail one Christmas when Gore was at home 
in Carthage. Neighbors offered us food on Christmas Day, but the Gores never 
even bothered to say 'Merry Christmas' or 'Thank you." Surely Crane said this. 
But Crane was never part of Gore's detail"

 No, there are at least two books out there by former SS agents. Corrupt? Why, 
because they told all? Don't forget the State Troopers that were bodyguards in 
Arkansas.
 From Ronald Kesslers book First Family Details: "When in public,Hillary smiles 
and acts graciously." Kessler explains, "As soon as the cameras are gone, her 
angry personality, nastiness and imperiousness become evident". He added: 
"Hillary Clinton can make Richard Nixon look like Mahatma Gandhi." He said she

.He goes on and on.
 BTW, it wasn't the *rest* of the Secret Service that repudiated  Gary Byrne. 
It was a few high ranking members that denied his book, much of which he got 
was  from other agents.I would think telling all on the Clintons would not be 
good for job security. Might be difficult to bump -off a Srecret Service agent 
though. Repudiating those that do *tell all* would be job security.
 Sorry Judy, declaring victory doesn't make you victorious.

I am predicting that breath, or prana will at some point, become a focus of 
western medicine. Probably before interest in something like energy centers 
takes hold. 
 The Upanishads, in particular, talk about the different breaths, and the 
functions they perform.  Breath may be something people can understand better 
than say, chakras. 

 Another area which has little or no public awareness is that of sexual energy, 
and how it pertains to overall health and mental acuity, at least as I see it.

 Yep, regardless of which meditation or spiritual practice some people can have 
trouble with kundalini flow (subtle energy centers) as their spirituality comes 
on or grows.  Evidently it is not by meditation necessarily but also occurs 
separately for some various people as kundalini development in the central 
subtle nervous system. Able to surface at any point as the spiritual system may 
grow, sometimes in the new spiritual aspirant or in long practiced or 
cultivated people.  This as its own continuum is different from the 
consciousness ‘awakening’ continuum that gets focused on in the TM community or 
at Rick’s batgap, but can have its own development to talk about on continuum 
different than consciousness development.
 
 In satsang around Fairfield, Iowa people can surface periodically with 
troubles in the flow of their Kundalini subtle system.  This is particularly 
different than say psychological breaks like bi-polar and such.  
 It was not something we were much guided in but there is a cohort of intuitive 
people and experienced people round who can be helpful to folks whose subtle 
systems are in rough times and not integrated enough in some ways to be easier 
with being a conduit for evidently more primordial energy referred to as 
kundalini, or the holy-ghost in x-ianity.  It can be a topic of conversation 
around Fairfield on different levels.

 Card’s sequence of sutras as energy centers that are in the YS may well be 
relevant. Also it seems was where Maharishi was going with his last technique, 
the Ved and Physiology technique. The sutras like that Ved and Physiology

You're (intentionally, I think) missing my point. 

 If he genuinely thought at the time that she was emboldening terrorists as

"good business practice" above the safety and well-being of the American 
people. Has nothing to do with what she might or might not have done in 
response.
 

 Of course, he could be lying today when he says that's what she was doing. He 
may not believe that at all.
 

 As to the email situation, once again you're not telling the straight story. 
If somebody had sent her server to the Russians or the Chinese or whoever, they

2016-09-21 Thread dhamiltony...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]


 

M stopped talking much about it publicly at points when faced with an 
intellectual skepticism about these energy centers:  ‘Thin lines of energy 
flowing in the central nervous system? ’ Where exactly?   Comparing to the 
science then at that time growing on 'consciousness' defined by meditation then 
to also describe and defend a subtle system which science has yet to be able to 
even image would be daunting at best given where people and science was at in 
time.  But clearly it was where he was going in his teachings and methods even 
to his last techniques in marma, vibrational modalities and the Ved and 
Physiology practice.  The guy was a visionary, sage, empiricist and necessarily 
practical going forward. We don't have so much guidance coming out of TM about 
it other than ideas of stress release and meditation checking so people over 
the years have also gone on in their experience.

 Yes, thanks for the reply.  I do believe that spiritual development is a

necessary. 

 Of course, like anything, you can carried away by too much analysis, which can 
lead to mood making and other weird diversions .  Always difficult to find the

 Yep, regardless of which meditation or spiritual practice some people can have 
trouble with kundalini flow (subtle energy centers) as their spirituality comes 
on or grows.  Evidently it is not by meditation necessarily but also occurs 
separately for some various people as kundalini development in the central 
subtle nervous system. Able to surface at any point as the spiritual system may 
grow, sometimes in the new spiritual aspirant or in long practiced or 
cultivated people.  This as its own continuum is different from the 
consciousness ‘awakening’ continuum that gets focused on in the TM community or 
at Rick’s batgap, but can have its own development to talk about on continuum 
different than consciousness development.
 
 In satsang around Fairfield, Iowa people can surface periodically with 
troubles in the flow of their Kundalini subtle system.  This is particularly 
different than say psychological breaks like bi-polar and such.  
 It was not something we were much guided in but there is a cohort of intuitive 
people and experienced people round who can be helpful to folks whose subtle 
systems are in rough times and not integrated enough in some ways to be easier 
with being a conduit for evidently more primordial energy referred to as 
kundalini, or the holy-ghost in x-ianity.  It can be a topic of conversation 
around Fairfield on different levels.

 Card’s sequence of sutras as energy centers that are in the YS may well be

the Ved and Physiology technique. The sutras like that Ved and Physiology

Re: [FairfieldLife] It's Looking Good

2016-09-21 Thread Sal Sunshine salsunshineini...@gmail.com [FairfieldLife]
That’s not quite how I remember it.  Sure Gore’s supposed stiffness was an 
issue, but there could have been all sorts of ways to dispense with that some 
of which he had already done.  For the debates Gore chose just about the worst 
thing he could do, looking like he was cozying up to Bush and agreeing with him 
more than disagreeing, which had the net effect of making Bush look “smart” or 
at least smarter than he was.  Here’s a couple of excerpts from Michael Moore’s 
book Stupid White Men that expresses it better than I can:

Privately, I think most people in the Nader  camp thought what I thought-that 
once Gore had a chance to wipe the floor with Bush in a debate, the election 
would be over. So we figured, let's get out millions of votes for Nader to show 
the next President--Al Gore-that there's a large number of Americans who don't 
want him pushing the Democratic Party further to the right. A strong vote for 
Nader might be a way to check Gore and his promise to do things like spend more 
on the military and less on jobs.

Yeah, we were real geniuses.

Then came the debates. Ralph was shut out of them, which left America with 
three ninety-minute shows in which Gore and Bush agreed with each other more 
than they disagreed. In the second debate, the two of them said they agreed 
with each other on thirty-seven different issues. It was stunning to watch.

Gore had blown it. He had failed to unmask Bush's ignorance and stupidity. He 
had failed to set himself apart and show the nation there was a real difference 
on the ballot. He had three chances to nuke that smirking son of a Bush, and he 
couldn't do it! Message to the country: If this is how he caves with Junior, 
what will happen when he gets in a room with the Russians? Or the Canadians!

I was shocked by the implications. It was starting to look as if Gore would 
lose. He was going to lose his home state. He was going to lose Clinton's home 
state. He couldn't convince the Democratic dean of the Senate, Robert Byrd of 
West Virginia, to endorse him until five days before the election (thus 
sacrificing West Virginia, a traditional Democratic stronghold, to Bush). Any 
one of these states would have given Gore all the electoral votes he would need 
to win the White House.
And the money shot: Then Al Gore failed to win the third and final debate with 
George W. Bush. Now where I come from, the smart guy wins in a debate; the dumb 
guy loses. It really is that simple. But not this time. I couldn't believe my 
eyes. It was clear that Al Gore was doing everything he could to lose the 
election.

That was exactly my feeling too:  it looked like he wanted to lose, and I 
couldn’t quite believe what I was seeing either.  It was almost like he was in 
some sort of trance. If Hillary attempts anything like that, I believe all is 
lost.  But hopefully she won’t.  Hopefully she’ll dispense with any and all 
doubts bout whatever by being the best Democratic candidate she can be, not by 
trying to do everything she can to lose.   We’ll find out soon.

Well put. 

 It may also be a good idea to remind folks that there's no official winner or 
loser in these debates! (No, you didn't suggest that, but people often talk as 
if there were.) The MSM is pretty uniformly against Trump (Faux News aside), 
and I worry that they'll lean over backward after the debate to compensate for 
their bias and be "fair" to Trump. But they ain't fond of Hillary either, so 
goodness only knows how that'll work out.

(Raising hand)  I also feel that no matter how prepared Hillary is (and she

bar is set so low, that if he even barely tries to answer the questions, he’ll 
look “presidential.”  If he doesn’t try, they’ll present him as some fun-loving 
oaf you would want to have a beer with.  Heads, Trump wins; tails, Hillary 
loses.

 While I am confident Hillary will be prepared and battle ready I know how hard 
it is to try and compete with a total and utterly annoying troll in the name of 
common sense and real dialogue. 

Robert Reich had an excellent idea:  after she’s finished laying out some 
policy proposal, turn to Trump and ask what his ideas are.  That would be at 
least one way to expose how utterly bankrupt (npi) his “ideas” are. Chances are 
pretty good he’ll go off on some ludicrous tangent that has nothing to do with 
anything.  While that may not sway his most hard-core supporters, there’s still 
plenty of swing voters out there.

I can only hope that the moderator will do his job and that Trump will simply 
come off looking like the oafish and clueless boor he is. I still may have to 
watch it after the fact, once I know Hillary has wiped the floor with him (God

   Obviously, Trump cannot win a debate against Hillary. He has neither the 
knowledge nor experience. But here is what will happen: Hillary will win the 
debate but Trump—surprise, surprise—will continue his uptick in the polls. Not 
by much, but it will be there. There will also be a growth in the number of 
"secret Trumpists," that is, people who plan to vote for Trump but will not 
admit it. This could give Trump a bigger margin of victory on Election Day. 
Ultimately, America will prefer a man to a woman. That's what it comes down to, 
I think. The evangelicals in particular will vote for Trump, not because they 
think he is a shining example of anything they profess to admire, but because 
St. Paul thinks that men should rule over women.

Same with me. I'll most likely not watch live either. Hillary has got Trump 
beat in so many ways, but he has tremendous natural expertise in crushing an 
opponent and swaying an audience. Unless she's at the very top of her game--as 
she was during the 11-hour Benghazi hearing--she may not come off all that 
well. And God only knows whether the moderators will be able to handle things 
to keep them fair.

Trump is a more of a nationalist, protecting our own interests first. 
Evangelicals are not under the illusion that Trump is any kind of saint. They 
just know that we, as a nation, we are at a fork in the road and going down the 
one we are on right now is unacceptable. Nothing Trump can say can compare to 
Hillary's record of failure.

 Obviously, Trump cannot win a debate against Hillary. He has neither the 
knowledge nor experience. But here is what will happen: Hillary will win the 
debate but Trump—surprise, surprise—will continue his uptick in the polls. Not 
by much, but it will be there. There will also be a growth in the number of 
"secret Trumpists," that is, people who plan to vote for Trump but will not 
admit it. This could give Trump a bigger margin of victory on Election Day. 
Ultimately, America will prefer a man to a woman. That's what it comes down to, 
I think. The evangelicals in particular will vote for Trump, not because they 
think he is a shining example of anything they profess to admire, but because 
St. Paul thinks that men should rule over women. 

As you can see, my Trump Anxiety is growing by the day. This is a virus that is 
affecting liberals all over the country, and it is contagious. I was just on 
the phone to a friend in another small town in Iowa (not Fairfield) and 
explained my beliefs about how the election would

I don't know about the rest of you but I am very nervous to watch the first 
debate. While I am confident Hillary will be prepared and battle ready I know 
how hard it is to try and compete with a total and utterly annoying troll in 
the name of common sense and real dialogue. I can only hope that the moderator 
will do his job and that Trump will simply come off looking like the oafish and 
clueless boor he is. I still may have to watch it after the fact, once I know 
Hillary has wiped the floor with him (God willing), but I may be able to tune 
it in at different moments live (for short spurts) out of sheer curiosity. Like 
watching a horror show through your splayed fingers. But on a bright note:

Do you read what I write? I never said anything about "defining Christianity." 

 I don't care who defines Christianity, nor how they define it. For the third 
time: I'm saying if being Christian means becoming a person like you, I'm not 
interested.
 

 Tell me if there are any words you don't understand.
 

 Let me try it another way; maybe it'll be clearer:
 

 If Christ approves of people like you, I don't approve of Christ.

 Have to be careful though. Jesus said some really unkind things about the

 Sal suggested Trump voters are illiterate. I suggested that it's far more 
likely that the majority of the  less educated that will vote, come from 
Democratic strong holds such as ghettos, barrios and inner cities, most likely 
already controlled by Democrats for the past five or six decades or even 
longer. A lot of good it has done them. What's the old saying, the definition 
of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a 
different result each time. No, they just stay the same or get worse.

The problem is that people who are planning to vote for Trump do not read 
articles such as these. The New York Times and the Washington Post have done an 
excellent job in exposing Trump for who he is—their columnists have produced 
hundreds of articles denouncing him, day after day, week after week, a nonstop 
assault since he became a serious contender for the presidency. But it has had 
zero effect. How many Trump supporters read the Times or the Post? Five? Ten? 
Twenty?

 Very much worth the read. I know/realize all this and more - the man is a 
complete menace to all decency and what we hold dear in this country, in our 
lives. What is maddening is when you get these idiot radicals blowing up things 
in the US or abroad and it becomes instant fodder for Trump to spew more of his 
"I told you so" and "Only I can keep you safe from the Muslim threat". This is 
not good timing and I curse these terrorist imbeciles every time they do 
something because it only furthers Trumps rhetoric in the eyes of the gullible, 
shallow-thinking supporters he seems to draw to himself.
 

 

 See, already this is happening. A no-brainer to predict.

Yes, thanks for the reply.  I do believe that spiritual development is a tricky 
endeavor, and that complications can arise, either due to an awakening of 
kundalini, or just an expanding of awareness.  I suppose it is helpful to have 
a support network to help sort things out, and lend a helping hand if 
necessary. 

 Of course, like anything, you can carried away by too much analysis, which can 
lead to mood making and other weird diversions .  Always difficult to find the 
right balance.
 

 Still sorting that out in my own life

 Yep, regardless of which meditation or spiritual practice some people can have 
trouble with kundalini flow (subtle energy centers) as their spirituality comes 
on or grows.  Evidently it is not by meditation necessarily but also occurs 
separately for some various people as kundalini development in the central 
subtle nervous system. Able to surface at any point as the spiritual system may 
grow, sometimes in the new spiritual aspirant or in long practiced or 
cultivated people.  This as its own continuum is different from the 
consciousness ‘awakening’ continuum that gets focused on in the TM community or 
at Rick’s batgap, but can have its own development to talk about on continuum 
different than consciousness development.
 
 In satsang around Fairfield, Iowa people can surface periodically with 
troubles in the flow of their Kundalini subtle system.  This is particularly 
different than say psychological breaks like bi-polar and such.  
 It was not something we were much guided in but there is a cohort of intuitive 
people and experienced people round who can be helpful to folks whose subtle 
systems are in rough times and not integrated enough in some ways to be easier 
with being a conduit for evidently more primordial energy referred to as 
kundalini, or the holy-ghost in x-ianity.  It can be a topic of conversation 
around Fairfield on different levels.

 In TM we did not get much guidance on this but those are interesting sutras to 
use.  
 My wife in community work as an RN, being intuitive, and being an old 
meditation teacher has been running into some people who are amidst some 
openings of kundalini. That has its spiritual reality for some people which in 
some ways is also physiologic to the human psycho-spiritual system. . 
 Card’s sequence of sutras as energy centers that are in the YS may well be 
relevant. Also it seems was where Maharishi was going with his last technique, 
the Ved and Physiology technique. The sutras like that Ved and Physiology 
process can be handy to energetically reference;  along with some kind of 
mindful intent like these kind of directives in the yoga sutras in checking of 
the flow for some people in their mists and rough with it all.  Some things 
sort of like in point 30 of the old checking notes, if you remember those. 

 Going to these YS chapters and verse are like going back to reading my tractor 
repair manual for figuring out my tractor’s ignition system that just went 
haywire. 10th cranial nerve?  Sometimes you just have to go sit and attend to 
it under a shade tree.  But figure it out also by going to an old tractor 
mechanic who has more experience with it.

 In the human, who is the highest expression of God on earth, it is the vagus

the spiritual fire coming down, the fire of the macrocosm. This fire energizes 
humans and uses them to express the qualities of love and wisdom.
